"Sure enough, the United States is our great enemy." Lin Youde sighed and threw the report in his hand on the table, "Their geographical location is so good, I really can't envy it." ”

"If I could give the Queen of England a dream, I would definitely tell her to leave Napoleon alone, and first take advantage of the momentum of the Canadian militia to bring back the colony." Isabella seemed to regret that she couldn't do this, "But no one knew at the time that the tiny Thirteen States would become the behemoth they are today, and if I really dreamed of it, then the Queen would have lost her prestige when she said that the Thirteen States were more threatening than Napoleon." ”

"You'll be laughed at as a fool for a while." Viola added.

"This kind of unrealistic thing is a pure waste of time." Sissi joins the conversation, and although she doesn't express her hostility towards Isabella, it's clear that the mood isn't right as soon as she speaks. Before, Lin Youde was worried that Sissi's feelings for him had faded, but after rolling the sheets for a few days, he found that this was not the case, and it seemed that she was just not dealing with Isabella, the de facto traitor. In the past few days, Lin Youde has thought of a lot of ways to make Sissi give up his prejudices, but in the end he still failed and had to give up.

"Without a navy," Sissi continued, "we would have to defend ourselves passively against American attacks, and it would be helpful if Britain could surrender, but it seems that someone has chosen a thorn in the head." ”

"In the UK, that's called the Prime Minister." Isabella corrected unceremoniously.

"It's all the same. If Britain does not surrender after the United States enters the war, they will have a bridgehead in our coastal waters, and the entire French coast will be in danger. I think it is imperative to start a landing operation against Britain as soon as possible. ”

Lin Youde pursed his lips and didn't speak.

After a brief silence, he asked the fox: "How much resistance does Britain have now?" ”

"They armed fifteen more divisions, and with the troops withdrawn to England, I estimate that there are 300,000 British troops on the island." The fox said in a sure tone.

"What about the militia?"

"Huh?" The fox's eyes widened, "Militia? What Churchill fears most now is that the people will take up arms to kill him, and arm the people? Is he dying? Although he tried desperately to point the finger at Germany, the recent deterioration of the situation in Britain and our psychological warfare have gradually stopped the people from his ways, and the calls for an armistice have been high. In fact, our big mole believed that as soon as the Germans landed in the name of an international column, they would be welcomed by the British people in the sandwich. ”

"International Column, ......" Lin Youde was a little crying and laughing, he originally thought that the name was just to pay tribute to the Spanish Civil War in another time and space, and he thought that Turkey would abandon it after the fight, but he didn't expect the name to suddenly pop up at this moment.

"If you want to form an international column......"

As soon as Lin Youde started, Sissi counted his fingers and said: "The troops under the command of the Human Innovation Alliance that we have just formed that can be mobilized immediately have a Danish division in The Hague, the Netherlands, two Dutch divisions, and a Polish division in Danzig. ”

"The French side promised that the French army would have two divisions ready by the end of January, and hinted that they could participate in the sea-crossing operation." Viola glanced at Lin Youde, "Xia Li should have told you this directly, right?" ”

"Yes, she sued me."

Lin Youde bit his lip and looked at the blank letterhead in front of him.

"It seems that the Germans still want to play the leading role, how are our troops in Holland and Belgium resting?"

"It's all done, and you can fight." Sissi flipped through her little notebook, "But we don't have boats, because someone ordered to destroy all the boats on shore if the retreat fails. In order to cope with the Russian threat, all of our production capacity was used to produce combat vehicles, airplanes and artillery, and the shipbuilding industry did not receive additional labor, and a number of skilled welders were transferred. ”

Lin Youde couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Actually......," said Isabella at this time, "if both the French and Italian navies are mobilized, they can fight a decisive battle with the British home fleet with the support of the air force, and try to seize sea supremacy." Why are you all looking at me like that? ”

After Isabella asked, everyone looked at each other, and then Lin Youde said in everyone's place: "Were you just giving us a plan to deal with the British home fleet?" ”

"Yes...... Ah, no, I didn't! Isabella looked eager to smack her mouth, and Sissi glanced at her coldly and didn't speak.

Lin Youde began to think seriously about the advice provided by Isabella, in another time and space, the Italian Navy was actually quite capable of fighting, even if it suffered heavy losses in the Taranto air raid, it still fought a few good and beautiful battles in the Mediterranean Sea - of course, it was also brushed a lot of honors by the British, so that the British Empire's navy regained a lot of self-confidence in the sunset.

As for the French Navy, Lin Youde always felt that they were instigated by Nelson, and the French Navy, which could have been forced to have a back and forth with the British on the vast ocean, did not seem to have any double-eyed achievements to complete alone after the Napoleonic era, and mixed experience with the Royal Navy during the Crimean War, and still followed the Royal Navy during the Battle of the Dardanelles.

Lin Youde thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that there seemed to be no other way, and he couldn't make up enough ships to cross the strait against the British interception, so he could only use the navy to cover a small number of large ships to transport troops little by little. Fortunately, the English Channel is not wide, and with the cover of the air force, it should still be able to fight with the Royal Navy Grand Fleet.

It would be even more perfect if the minelaying density was strengthened so that the Grand Fleet could not go along the way.

But now that the British have deployed a very strong force of warriors in the main ports of the Grand Fleet, it is not so simple to lay mines.

Lin Youde was still thinking about it, and the fox suddenly said: "If you want to decide, you can do your best, now our troops on the beach have been preparing for the landing operation for almost four months, and the landing will be in February, and then Russia will start spring, and Iron Ji is forced by the pressure of the United States, and may attack after the spring of this year, and then we must transfer the elite troops of the Western Front to the Eastern Front." ”

"What is the probability that Iron Ji will really attack after the beginning of spring?"

"It's huge." The fox said with certainty, "She has gathered a lot of troops on the border, and the logistics materials have been used up for more than half a year to deploy, in fact, if you don't consider the domestic economic situation in Russia, just look at the Russian army, they are ready to attack, and they are much more fully prepared than the last war." ”

In the last war, Russia here also made a similar mistake as Russia in another time and space, and the tsar also hurriedly sent the army that had just been mobilized and not yet fully armed to cross the border into East Prussia in order to fulfill his promise to Britain and France.

Therefore, the Russian high command retreated for several months, and finally was able to plan a new offensive, only to be preempted by Ludendorff and Hindenburg.

Now Ludendorff and Hindenburg are too old to move, and Brusinov, who had fought with them in the dark, is also old, and the German and Russian armies will have to face off again on the Polish fields.

"Iron Ji is ready to attack......" Lin Youde fully trusted the fox's intelligence ability, she said that Iron Ji was ready, it should be ready.

"We're not fully prepared." Sissi looked at the small notebook in front of her worriedly, "The fortress on the Carpathian Mountains has been reinforced, and there should be no need to worry about the Russian army suddenly breaking into the former Austro-Hungarian territory, but there is no danger to defend in front of this large plain." ”

"Large cities can actually be used as natural defensive strongholds, but the enemy can bypass Warsaw." Lin Youde turned to the map, "We still have to be mentally prepared for mobile operations on the plains." ”

"We are now armed with five new armoured divisions, and we will be able to arm the same number in the first three months of this year. At the same time, we can complete the replenishment of the attrition of the armored divisions of the Western Front. Viola dutifully reported on the results of the adjustment and improvement of domestic industrial capacity, "but the commander of the armored forces complained to me that the unskilled workers were not good at the workmanship of some parts of the new tank, and although it generally did not affect the use, he believed that the slightest flaw in the war would cause unnecessary sacrifices." ”

"Then he must like defective products, and in the future, our production capacity will be expanded to produce more than 1,200 chariots per month, and the workmanship cannot be as good as when there were 3,500 vehicles per month."

Viola frowned and stared at Lin Youde: "You are crazy, the national economy will collapse." ”

"Under the wartime system, it doesn't matter if the national economy collapses or not," Lin Youde looked at Viola, "The last war has proved that modern industrial countries can still operate at full power in the face of complete bankruptcy." ”

Viola's expression was a little solemn.

"Last time we lost." She said.

Lin Youde stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, I'm here this time." Remember what I said to you a long time ago, and this time, I will bring you the same victory I promised. ”

For a moment, the other three women in the room were staring at Viola, and their eyes contained some envy - except for the fox, who began to coax loudly: "Woohoo! A blatant show of affection! You're quite capable! ”

Viola blushed slightly, she hung her head, and said embarrassedly, "I—I know." That's right! I have good news here! ”

"Hahahaha, shy, shy!" The fox is still coaxing.

"I really have good news!" Viola pursed her lips, "The report I got this morning from the Weapons Research Institute, they think they can complete the first batch of cloudburst bombs that can be airdropped in April. ”
