In just one day, the Germans flew more than a thousand sorties to Dunkerke, the first to bomb the port, destroying all four docks and reducing the eight-kilometer-long pier to rubble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even the Germans did not spare the East Embankment, which was less than 1,200 meters long and was built of wooden piles and planks, and bombed indiscriminately, blowing up many wooden piles, destroying the lighthouse and destroying all the facilities they saw that could be used for ships to dock.

Once these facilities were destroyed, it would be difficult for ships from Britain to dock and save people, even if they arrived.

At the same time, the German submarine forces were also dispatched to attack all kinds of ships coming from the British, starting with the big ships, and the air force also sent planes to bomb them.

The ships from England had suffered considerable losses before they reached Dunkerke, but their lives were at stake, and they did not back down and continued to send more ships to rescue them.

By the time the first ships from Britain arrived, half of Dunkersk had fallen into the hands of the Germans, and nearly 100,000 troops had been annihilated.

Knowing that time was running out, the ship ventured to anchor, and the remaining forces began to organize a retreat, starting with the wounded, and both sides were vying for time in your pursuit.

The British worked with all their might, at all costs, for three days, until the Germans occupied the whole of Dunkelke, and they had no more chance.

In three days, the British withdrew less than 10,000 troops, including the wounded, but lost nearly 400 ships and more than 300 planes of all kinds of support. The fact that the 400,000 troops had withdrawn only so little and suffered such a large loss showed that the British had completely failed in this retreat.

Of the rest of the army, nearly 200,000 people were taken prisoner, and the rest were annihilated.

The defeat at Dunkersk cast a shadow not only over the whole of Europe, but even over the whole world, and Britain and France, which bore the brunt of the attack, were enveloped in a great atmosphere of sadness, especially the French, who were still prepared to resist the German attack in the minority, and many of them turned into pessimism and tacitly agreed to surrender to the Germans.

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill faced the result of Dunkelke, and he had to face the situation of the French deciding to surrender, and he gave him two heavy blows as soon as he came to power. However, Churchill was also a stubborn man, he would not easily admit defeat, and he would continue to lead the LinkedIn people to resist.

The French were utterly desperate, and as soon as the Germans had dealt with the endgame at Dunkerke, they returned to their division and headed straight for Paris.

At the end of 38, the French did not have the courage to fight the Germans to the death, even if they still had an army of 1.7 million, once known as the strongest army in Europe, and ended the curtain in such a posture.

At the beginning of the new year of '39, that is, on New Year's Day, the Germans officially accepted the surrender of France, and the place of surrender was in the carriage where Germany surrendered in World War I.

"General Wei, as you expected, the French surrendered so quickly." The fact that France surrendered so happily was really very unexpected by Hitler, even though he had heard Wei Qidong talk about the fact that France surrendered within six weeks in the official history.

"Although the situation has changed a lot, the people have not changed, and the result is still the same." Wei Qidong smiled, and then he said, "I heard that Charles de Gaulle was not caught? I am afraid that this person will cause a little trouble for Germany in the future. ”

"This person is also the commander of the armored forces, but the position is not high, and he has also fought against my armored forces and achieved a good front. However, by the time of the surrender of France, he was already in England. Hitler said that if it weren't for Wei Qidong, he would not have thought of such a small person who was not even a general.

Sure enough, as Wei Qidong expected, a few days later, de Gaulle made a public speech in England through the British Radio to continue the resistance, and was supported by the British. And from here, it can also be seen that the British are different from the French, and under the leadership of Churchill, they are ready to resist to the end.

However, Britain is different from France, Britain is an island country, separated from the European continent, Germany's strongest army and air force, but the navy cannot be compared with the British navy, which is the first in Europe.

There is no way, if you want to conquer Britain, you can only take the old way, first continue to bomb the British mainland through the air force, and see if you can directly coerce them to surrender. But at the same time as the bombing, Hitler was ready to make a second preparation, that is, the Sea Lion Project that was finally abandoned in the official history.

The reason why Hitler mentioned the Sea Lion Project again was, on the one hand, because the current situation had changed a lot, and on the other hand, he heard about the Normandy landing in the official history from Wei Qidong, and he also learned a lot of experience in large-scale landing operations, which could be incorporated into the Sea Lion Plan.

Therefore, considering these aspects, if the conditions are right, Hitler felt that it was still necessary to implement the Sea Lion plan, because there was no rival on the European continent, except for Britain, the biggest opponent left was the United States. However, even Britain could not be conquered, so how could it be said to conquer the distant United States?

If Britain does not surrender, then take the cross-sea operation against Britain as a military exercise. After all, the future expedition to the United States will also require cross-sea operations, and it will be necessary to cross a considerable distance.

Goering's air force, under Hitler's orders, bombed Britain indiscriminately, with the primary target being London, in an attempt to force Britain to surrender directly. However, even though the British did not have enough planes and anti-aircraft firepower, they still resisted stubbornly and had no intention of surrendering.

The United States, which is far away on the other side of the ocean, has publicly stated that it will do its best to support Britain's resistance, saying that the United States will always stand in the same camp as Britain.

There is no way, because the Americans know that after Britain is finished, the next target of the Germans will definitely be the United States, so the British will not do the United States any benefit after the end of the United Kingdom, and helping Britain is helping themselves, and Britain at this time also needs the help of the United States.

Hitler knew that it would be difficult to conquer Britain by means of the air force, or whether he could only take the road of landing, but this was urgent, first of all, there must be sufficient preparations, and secondly, there must be a suitable time.

At this point, the German army's blitzkrieg was about to be suspended for a while, and during this time, the German army had achieved such significant results, in addition to their own strong combat power, it was inseparable from the important contribution of another person, and this person was naturally Wei Qidong. Even Hitler had to admit this.

During this time, Wei Qidong paid almost nothing in return, and Hitler naturally understood that it was time for them to repay China.

In this regard, Hitler listened to some of Wei Qidong's demands and suggestions, and Wei Qidong's demands basically did not harm any interests of Germany, and even from a strategic point of view, Germany had to be advantageous, so Hitler did not think much about it, and happily agreed.
