No matter how powerful the navy and air force are, it is ultimately the army that will solve the battle on the battlefield. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because there are many well-constructed ground fortifications that cannot be obtained by aerial shells and naval artillery shells. The main point is that the cost of attack by the Navy and Air Force is much greater than that of the Army.

After the combined forces of East China and Germany forced their way into the port of Plymouth with overwhelming offensive firepower and successfully opened up a landing ground, the British defensive forces chose to retreat to the deep defensive line, away from the range of the German naval guns.

Relying on the streets and buildings in the urban area to form layers of blocking fire and fighting street battles, with the main combat objective of killing and injuring the living forces of the Donghua and German landing forces, this was a strategic defense plan established by the British Supreme Command after giving up the struggle for sea supremacy.

The nine-month transfer of supplies turned many coastal cities in Britain into large military camps and street fighting defensive fortresses.

At the Plymouth Line, the British defensive forces threw a total of three divisions into the defense. The East German coalition forces continued to send troops through the occupied port of Plymouth, and two days later, four divisions of troops had been sent to land, and more troops were waiting to be disembarked on the landing ships and transport ships gathered in the sea outside the port.

To the southwest of the English Channel, about a hundred nautical miles from the port of Plymouth, is home to a magnificent fleet. Viewed from the air, more than 100 warships of the East German Navy's combined fleet formed a huge ring formation on the sea, and an outer circle of frigates, destroyers, cruisers, and battle cruisers surrounded a core circle also composed of warships.

This inner circle is the main force of the fleet, consisting of six Admiral-class aircraft carriers, one Zeppelin-class aircraft carrier, four River-class amphibious assault ships, two King-class battleships, four Hindenburg-class battleships, and two Bismarck-class battleships.

In the rear of the fleet, there was also a huge transport landing fleet escorted by a convoy of the German Navy. Under the water, there are more than 30 German XXI-type submarines, Donghua Kilo-class submarines, and Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines serving as underwater vigilance and anti-submarine missions.

There is no doubt that in the face of such a terrifyingly large combined fleet of the East German Navy, no navy in the world today dares to confront it head-on.

The murky waves crashed against the lead-gray steel hull, and from time to time the sky whistled at low altitude several F-4H carrier-based supersonic fighters on patrol duty. Several SH-60 anti-submarine helicopters are constantly circling the fleet, carefully guarding against possible threats.

Landing ships continued to break away from their formations and go to the already occupied port of Plymouth for unloading operations.

Several rubber speedboats split the waves, leaving a neat wake-in behind them, and heavily armed Marine Special Forces soldiers with oil-painted faces on board watched the sea around them warily.

The decks of seven aircraft carriers were busy. Huge steam catapults constantly eject one combat attack aircraft after another. Those carrier-based fighters loaded with all kinds of bombs staggered off the flight deck at high speed, and in the blink of an eye, they melted into the blue of the sky, leaving only a low roar that pierced the sky in the ears of the ground crews who were busy on the deck.

The flagship of the Combined Fleet, the aircraft carrier "Hanshin", was located in the conference cabin on the lower deck of the ship's island, and the supreme commander of the East German forces, Admiral Du Guangting, was full of relaxed smiles, looking at the commanders and generals of the coalition forces at all levels sitting around the oak conference table, and laughed loudly:

"Gentlemen, just as we expected before the war, the Royal Navy, once known as the world's number one navy, would not dare to fight a decisive battle with the Combined Fleet! The coastal defense line of the entire British Isles is as fragile as ****, and it will be broken as soon as it is stabbed! ”

"Hahaha!"

Raeder, Rommel, Kesselring, Hu Lian, Sun Fumin, Huang Wei and others burst into laughter.

"The British are trying to wear down our forces by fighting in the streets of the city, but we are also planning how to kill and injure as much of the British as possible!"

Du Guangting continued with a solid heart: "Our saint specially told me not to attack the British mainland, and not to think that it would be as easy as Germany fighting France. In this war, we did not seek a quick victory, but mainly aimed at killing and wounding a large number of British resistance forces and destroying British industrial facilities.

This is a war of revenge for the complete destruction of the British Empire by the powerful alliance of our Great Donghua Empire and the German Empire! For a long time, the British have relied on the huge world colonial system to carry out frenzied plundering and aggression around the world. The British owe us countless blood debts and hatreds to the Chinese and Germanic nations!

Gentlemen, we are fighting a just war! The sun never sets, the era when the empire dominated the world's discourse and the colonial system will never return! The future of the world belongs to the glorious Great Donghua and Germany! ”

"Your Excellency, the main force of the British Royal Navy is still there. I think it is necessary for the Combined Fleet to find the main fleet of the British Navy, and then completely annihilate it! ”

Raeder replied with a serious expression: "The Royal Navy is the essence of England's military power. As long as the living force of the British Royal Navy exists, there is hope for Britain to make a comeback! And what we need to do now is to extinguish this hope at the source! ”

"The British and American navies have merged."

Du Guangting said confidently: "Since the Americans are now silent about the war we are waging, of course there is no need for us to cross the Atlantic Ocean to attack the US-British combined fleet on the east coast of the United States. Our emperor repeatedly warned us that we must eat one bite at a time, and we must walk step by step. If you take a big step, you will get the egg. ”

"As long as we completely occupy the entire British Isles, the main fleet of the British Navy withdrawn to the United States will be rootless." Sun Fumin smiled indifferently: "I don't think the Americans will generously carve out a piece of land in the eastern part of the United States for Britain to re-establish itself on the North American continent. ”

"There is intelligence that the U.S. government is likely to support the British crown in rebuilding England in South America." Rommel said in a relatively relaxed tone: "With the coastal defense forces of the South American countries, none of them can deal with the opponent of the British Royal Navy, which has preserved all its strength. ”

"Central and South America has always been Americans' backyard, and will Americans allow others to stay in their backyards?" Hu Lian apparently agrees with Sun Fumin that it is impossible for the US government to lure the wolf into the house.

The CIA has reliable information that the reason why the US government agreed to accept the British government and the royal family's plan for a great transfer was that the Americans wanted to annex the British who had fled to the United States.

America was originally developed by a group of criminals, vagabonds, and vagrants who were expelled from England and arrived on the North American continent. At their roots, the Americans and the British are family.

It's just that the United States produced a Washington and led the American people to overthrow the British colonial rule and establish the United States of America.

The wealth accumulated by Britain over the past 100 years since the first industrial revolution is absolutely astronomical.

The UK's industrial system has always been world-class.

When this wealth and industrial resources enter the United States, it would be strange if Americans, who have always been known for their greed, do not take a bite of such a large piece of fat. (To be continued.) )
