"You just told me that the landing was met with no organized resistance, right?" Mary? Brigitte tapped on the table in the lavish war room of the King George V and asked, "But what about the casualty figures?" Why were there more than 5,000 casualties in the absence of organized resistance? ”

"Lord Shenki," said General Carningham to Brigitte in a respectful manner, "there was sporadic resistance from some of the German troops, and some of our infantry units were inflicted some casualties. ”

"Then these scattered troops must have been completely routed by us, right?"

"No, they withdrew very quickly and did not give us the opportunity to use our superiority in forces to encircle and annihilate them. Moreover, all the resistance occurred at the end of the combat operation, and the Warrior Girls were concentrated in the supply area to receive supplies and armor repairs, and we had no chance to send the Warrior Queen's troops to pursue them. ”

"Idiot!" Brigitte slapped the table, "It's not called organized resistance, it's called organized resistance!" Do you think what you just said was an accident that happened together? ”

Although he was yelled at, Carningham still maintained a polite attitude: "My lord, even if this is organized resistance, we don't have to mind it so much, we were originally going to lose more than half of the attacking troops on the first day of the attack, but now there are only five thousand casualties that are much lower than we expected, you must know that our plan is based on the loss of half of the ashore troops on the first day, so the number of troops we can use for the next combat operations has greatly increased." ”

"And at this time the German headquarters, another guy like you was saying to Lin Youde's favorite concubine: 'Originally, we were going to lose all the first-line troops on the first day of the invasion, but now there are basically no casualties, which is much lower than we expected, so the number of troops we can use for the next combat operations has greatly increased.' Brigitte seemed intent on imitating Cunningham's tone, but apparently failed, and her imitation turned into a mere yin and yang sarcasm, though she apparently didn't think so, and instead continued to roar like an angry bull with her head held high, "Damn, they've inflicted huge casualties on us just by using what you call sporadic Cheng dù's army, and they still have a million troops waiting for us!" ”

"And if we have enough time, we can mobilize ten million troops from the colonies." Carningham said indifferently, "Canadian troops are about to arrive, and New Zealand and Australian troops are ......"

"You've been stolen by the Anzac miners in the last big war, do you want to do it again?" Brigitte paused, "But this time the Australian legion may not arrive for half a year or more, because their first mobilized troops will be used to defend against the paramilitary forces in Vale." ”

The combat effectiveness of the Commonwealth forces in this time and space is basically the same as that of the previous time and space, and the bottom is the colonial servant army of Ah San, and the most capable of fighting is the "DIGGER" of the Anzac and the Gurkha mercenaries of India, and the latter is of little significance in this kind of large-scale meat grinding modern war because the number is too small, only the Anzac has high combat effectiveness and can use 100,000 and hundreds of thousands on the battlefield; This was followed by the Canadian forces, which had inflicted heavy casualties on the Germans in the last war; After this, there are the British native troops, and most of the officers of the native troops are airborne nobles, the higher the rank, the more powerful the airborne, and the non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level are experienced but can't stand the officer comics.

For example, in the Battle of the Gallipoli Peninsula, the place where the first British landing force landed landed happened to be a beach that the Turks defended, but the officers of the unit saw that there was no resistance and thought that they must have landed in the wrong place, so they ordered the troops to return to the ship. When he returned to the ship, he found that he had landed in the right place, so he landed again the next day, only to be blocked on the beach by the Turkish army led by Kemal, who had only arrived after the British had withdrawn from the ship.

For example, in the first big scuffle in the Flanders field (yes, there were many big maneuvers on this field after that), the German troops made the second mistake, and after occupying a village, they saw a bunch of British remnants popping out of the woods to attack them, and decided that there must be a main British army behind them, otherwise the remnants would not have dared to attack so violently, so they retreated - but in fact these remnants simply ran in the wrong direction. After the remnants of the British army occupied the village, they hurriedly reported that we had occupied a key village and asked for reinforcements, but the British commander looked at the map and decided that none of his troops could be in that position, which was either a false alarm or a trap, and ignored it.

So the Germans took the village back.

In short, after entering the industrial age, the British Army is no longer the lobster soldiers who fought all over the world. In this time and space, this change in the British army is more obvious than in another time and space, in this time and space the era of the lobster soldiers, the magic armor of the war queens has just sprouted, the performance is not good and very delicate, it is generally used to deal with the enemy's war queens and gods, and the lobster soldiers still have a place to use. However, with the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the magic armor became more and more powerful, and the British began to pay less attention to the construction of infantry and threw a lot of money into the development of magic armor.

The other powers were in much the same situation, so that the British army had not been particularly weak in past wars, including the last one.

But this time is different, Lin Youde is not from this time and space, so his regular troops are trained very well, and the weapons are also very good, no wonder the British army will suffer a big loss.

But apparently Brigitte didn't think that way.

"So don't count on the Anzac," she continued to Cunningham, "and although Vale didn't get involved in the war because it wasn't a German company, everybody knows that it's also Lin Youde's property, and its army is Lin Youde's army, and it's increasing its forces now." ”

"I didn't expect the Anzacs, my lord." "I'm just reminding you that we can mobilize a lot more troops than Germany. ”

"Oh yes, you're right, but fifty times more than Germany?" Brigitte stopped abruptly and turned her gaze to the porthole in confusion, "What sound, explosion?" ”

Carningham hurried over to the porthole and looked out.

"There's a fire on the shore, my lord." He was still unhurried when he reported it, "probably something happened during unloading......

"Why do you always think in the direction of avoiding the important when you encounter an accident? The world is not so kind, sir, God is a malicious old man, you know? Brigitte slapped the table and yelled at Cunningham, "Hurry up and ask me what's going on on the shore!" ”

**

The clock goes back fifteen minutes.

The British freighter Maria is approaching the breakwater in Bremerhaven.

In the darkness of the night, no one noticed the trajectory of several bubbles at the bottom of the cargo ship. If an experienced naval officer saw the track, he would probably reflexively shout: "Torpedo!" ”

But it was not a torpedo, but an underwater assault vehicle with a torpedo engine, and four vehicles slipped into the British-controlled port of Bremerhaven with the bottom of the Maria, each with four heavily armed frogmen "hanging" on it.

A few minutes later, on the western side of the breakwater, a series of ventilator heads were biting the head of a ventilator wearing waterproof goggles.

The leader's head raised his hand and made a few gestures, and then the water spirits immediately swam to the stairs where they landed.

Probably because they were busy unloading the goods, the British army only sent three patrolmen and a second lieutenant with a guard on this small pier, and these few people were still chatting leisurely, and they didn't see a dark shadow boarding the dock.

The first water ghost to land watched the movements of the British troops and checked the condition of their dripping submachine guns - and the others were doing the same.

After the inspection, the water ghost opened fire on the British, and the silencer turned the gunfire into a series of blowing sounds, and the four Britons fell to the ground in an instant, without snorting.

After the Briton fell to the ground, two men dressed as workers emerged from the shadows and waved in the direction of the water ghosts.

Soon sixteen black shadows ran across the dock and came to the two workers.

"There are a lot of patrols in the port, and a large number of British people are unloading their cargo, so I don't think it's easy to attack it." One of the workers said with a frown.

"It's up to us to worry about it," said the water ghost, who had just shot and killed the British, as he spoke, taking off the oxygen cylinder from his back, and when the strap of the oxygen cylinder was removed, his military insignia and his combat participation in the war were revealed, three of which indicated that he had participated in the German Civil War, Serbian combat operations, and Turkish combat operations.

"I thought you weren't going to act in uniforms." The worker who came to answer looked at the military badge and resume and said.

The water ghost leader smiled, patted the trumpet flag of the German Republic on his shoulder and said: "This is different, this is a serious war between two countries, there is no need to keep it secret, so we also put on military uniforms, the advantage is that once captured, we can enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war, and do not have to be executed for espionage." Of course, none of my comrades and I will surrender, but no one can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield. In the event that we are caught in a coma, we have the confidence to escape as long as we are not immediately executed but sent to a prisoner of war camp. ”

After speaking, the head of the water ghost looked back at his subordinates, and was satisfied to see that the three subordinates had changed into dead British military uniforms, so he turned his head and said to the responder: "Okay, lead the way." ”
