Chapter 1524: A Sharp Counterattack
Tang Qiuli's voice was very loud, and with a coldness, the Germans present heard the anger that the young Chinese general tried his best to suppress in his heart, but no one thought that what was supposed to be a good welcome dinner suddenly changed, and the table of several main characters changed.
The only person who is qualified to stop the situation from continuing is His Excellency Führer Hitler, but he can't, in such a situation, interrupting Tang Qiuli's words, in all fairness, Goering's words, even Hitler, who has always indulged him, can't help but spit on his face.
Tang Qiuli focused his gaze on Goering's disgusting fat face, and said clearly: "Marshal Goering, what you said just now is a great insult to me and my soldiers, the achievements of my independent division are obvious to all countries in the world, and it is not your words that can be changed or erased, I can only regard this as nonsense, and I don't bother to argue!" ”
"As for the quality of command, it is not for you to doubt it, and take the Battle of Dunkirk, which laid the foundation for victory in the war on the European continent, as an example, Mr. Goering, you have no objection, do you?" Tang Qiuli simply didn't even call him a military rank, because this extremely annoying guy was not worthy of being a soldier.
Goering's original intention was to attack with the most vicious language, so that Tang Qiuli would lose his mind and lose ground, and it was best to jump up and shout loudly, and lose face in front of the head of state and the full house.
But Tang Qiuli's calmness was beyond his expectations, and Tang Qiuli asked urgently. It seems to ask for your own opinion. In fact, he has pushed himself to a corner where he cannot retreat, and if he opposes it, taking the Battle of Dunkirk as an example, then it proves that what he just said is all fart, therefore, Goering smiled gloomily and replied: "General Don." I certainly won't object, you don't call a spade! ”
Tang Qiuli sneered and said, "Okay, if my memory is not wrong. Two years ago, when the Battle of Dunkirk took place, it happened to be the foggy season in the English Channel, and in the most critical days, including Dunkirk, all the areas in northern France near the English Channel were shrouded in dense fog. And accurately bombed the Anglo-French troops? ”
Goering's face tightened, realizing that he had made a mistake, it seems that this Chinese's younger brother, the guy named Battle, was appreciated by the Führer because of his proactive offensive spirit in that battle, and was promoted to division commander and promoted to the rank of major general, and also won an Iron Cross.
Without waiting for Goering to argue. Tang Qiuli continued: "As the supreme commander of the Luftwaffe, he didn't know the basic situation of the weather in the theater, so much so that he almost missed the fighters, and thousands of the most advanced German fighters faced the dense fog. Helpless, let the British and French soldiers. Cross the English Channel in peace. ”
"Should it not be for the Führer's resolute order to launch an attack on all fronts, and the more than 400,000 Anglo-French soldiers who were able to withdraw to the British Isles, they would have become a great trouble for Germany in the future.
Goering's face began to turn purple, he couldn't refute it, Tang Qiuli was telling the truth, the fog of those days, his air force, there were thousands of planes in the air, and even the hair of the bomb was not thrown on the heads of the British and French soldiers, after the war, the Führer really scolded himself, but this story, only himself and the Führer knew, and there was no rumor!
Seeing Goering's face change, Tang Qiuli sneered in his heart, and did not intend to stop there, since Goering jumped out, he can't be let go, it is better to let Hitler marginalize him in the future and stay away from the core of German power, otherwise, maybe this guy may come out with something bad! …,
The guests were dumbfounded, except for the generals and marshals who participated in that battle, most of them did not know the details, and now they suddenly realized, looking at Goering's eyes, a little strange, Hitler looked at Tang Qiuli's gaze, some grateful, in all fairness, he did listen to Goering's advice.
Ordered more than 200,000 troops on the ground to stop the offensive, if it weren't for Tang Qiuli's repeated telegrams explaining the stakes, coupled with his younger brother Battle, who took the initiative to attack and led the launch of the army's attack on all fronts, there would definitely not be the decisive victory in Dunkirk, the old friend did not shake it out, it was for the sake of his own face, therefore, Hitler could not stop Tang Qiuli from continuing,
Tang Qiuli continued: "The situation in the region is unknown, the weather is not understood, this should be the most basic common sense as a commander, when Mr. Goering boasted about Haikou, I really don't know, where did your confidence and courage come from?" Selfishness? Asking for merit? Be in the spotlight? Or do you think that the British and French armies, which have been beaten by the German army and are powerless, are vulnerable? Coming out to pick up the cheap? The specific idea, I think, is best known only to the person concerned, Mr. Goering! ”
Goering's fat face began to sweat, he didn't expect that this very young Chinese general, the word is so powerful, the knife is general, and he sees blood when he shoots, what he thought at the time, he knows best, but Tang Qiuli said it.
Tang Qiuli's words, even Hitler's face, was embarrassed, glared at Goering angrily, and thought to himself: "It's okay, why are you provoking Tang Qiuli?" Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation? How can someone who can make a name for himself in Asia and beat the Japanese and the British into fear? Goering has been a little uneasy lately, so it's good to let Tang Qiuli teach him a lesson! ”
Tang Qiuli glanced at Mei Xue and Liu Xinlan, who were full of nervousness and concern, a smile flashed at the corner of their mouths, and then, their eyes became sharp again, and then said: "From the Battle of Dunkirk to the Luftwaffe's bombing of the British mainland, Mr. Goering, in the air battle of Great Britain, the Luftwaffe under your command suffered many losses, right?" Or rather, heavy losses! ”
"You are sacrificing the future of the Luftwaffe to make a name for yourself, don't be surprised, I naturally have access to news, the British are not stingy in publicizing their victory, why would the losses be so great when the Luftwaffe was already completely superior? To use an old Chinese saying to describe it, the generals are incompetent and tired to death! ”
"The rigid command system, the old-fashioned tactical arrangement, and the low personal ability of the supreme commander, even if the Luftwaffe pilots are excellent, they are in vain, but because of the incompetence of the supreme commander, this excellent quality has become a tragedy, because the losses in the air battle of Great Britain are the best German pilots, and their sacrifice is not worth it!"
Goering was struck by lightning, Tang Qiuli's words, every sentence hit his own vital point, the Air Force's losses in the air battle of Great Britain, he has been concealing the Führer, every time he reports the battle situation, it is to report good news but not bad news, those well-trained and excellent pilots before the war, in the continuous competition with the British Air Force, lost all their losses, and now, although it is still on the surface, maintaining the bombing of the British mainland, it seems to have the upper hand, the actual effect, Goering knows it in his heart.
Their own bombers, interrupted the time, can still drop bombs over London, in recent days, hell, the bomber group flew together, the British fighters, just waiting halfway, now, the bombers can only be on the British beach, throw a few bombs, and hurry back, otherwise, will be the British "Spitfire" fighters, to wrap dumplings. …,
Goering had been hiding the truth from Hitler, and within the Air Force, he issued a strict gag order, strictly forbidding anyone, revealing the actual situation of the air battle in Great Britain, he did not dare and did not want to tell the truth to the Führer, he needed an aura that always hung over his head, and his explanation to his subordinates was that in order to boost the morale of the troops, it was necessary to maintain the myth of the invincibility of the Luftwaffe!
What frightened Goering the most was not the fear that Hitler would know the truth, but how this young Chinese knew everything about the air battle of Great Britain and the losses of the Luftwaffe, although he did not pick out the specific loss figures, but the phrase "sacrifice the future of the Luftwaffe!" "Suffice it to say anything.
At present, about 60 percent of the pilots of the front-line combat units are inexperienced novices, and they are very powerless in the face of the increasingly powerful air power of the British, and the loss of planes is not terrible; with the resources of the European continent that Germany now occupies, it can continuously provide the Air Force with the most advanced fighters and bombers.
But the loss of pilots is not something that can be made up for quickly, the air battle of Great Britain, if it continues like this, sooner or later, the tarmac will be full of the latest aircraft, but there will be no pilots, which is also the main reason why Goering strongly encouraged Hitler to shift the center of gravity of the battlefield to the Eastern Front, that is, to prepare to attack the Soviet Union.
As soon as the war against the Soviet Union begins, most of the forces of the Air Force will be invested in the Eastern Front, and the truth about the defeat in the air war in Great Britain will be covered up.
But now, shaken out by this hateful Chinese, Goering almost fainted, and he realized that he had made the biggest mistake, and he should not have called out on the spot with this seemingly harmless young Chinese general, and did everything he could to humiliate him!
It's too late to regret it, His Excellency the Führer's gaze, in addition to the shock, there is also deep suspicion and fierceness, he has already believed Tang Qiuli's words, and Goering's expression has explained a lot.
Enough, Hitler already understood in his heart, just right, Tang Qiuli also stopped talking at the right time, he hurriedly picked up a glass of champagne, motioned to Tang Qiuli to drink, and said: "Old friend, I'm very sorry, Goering has offended your dignity, please don't mind, Goering, your body is not very well, go back and rest immediately!" ”
