"Sounds reasonable." The fox nodded, "But what I'm more concerned about is that judging from what I just said, why don't I think our situation is too optimistic?" ”

"Don't pretend," Viola, who had been writing something all the time, glanced up at the fox, "You actually know the situation in the country very well, right?" There's no reason why the intelligence chief shouldn't pay attention to the country, is there? ”

"Haha, yes. What I want to say is that in fact, British spies also have a clear understanding of the situation in our country, and maybe people will want to delay a little longer. ”

"It can't be." Lin Youde shook his head, "As long as the front line has been winning battles and casualties are charged, the people will tighten their belts and continue to support the regime's war." In fact, there is a threshold for this thing, defeat will increase the people's anti-war feelings, excessive casualties will also increase the people's anti-war feelings, and when the anti-war feelings exceed the patriotic feelings, the people's will will be reversed. And the hardships of life will increase the anti-war situation, but the effect is lower than you think, so even if a country redeems its military force, as long as it continues to win abroad, the cohesion of the people will still be somewhat, and the support rate of the regime will remain within an acceptable range. ”

"Eh, the impact of winning the battle is so great." The fox's tone didn't sound very convincing.

"From the history of another time and space, those countries that are on the verge of defeat like to lie about the results of the war to deceive the people, but I have said before that when the casualties exceed a certain level, deception is useless. All will feel more or less that the war is heading for defeat. Even in Japan, which was clamoring for 100 million jade shatters in another time and space, in fact, many people already knew that the base camp had been deceiving them. Because there is a most basic logical contradiction: if it is really always winning, why are more and more people not coming back, and why are the US troops getting closer and closer? ”

Lin Youde spread his hands: "There is another example of the opposite in another time and space, although the Soviet Union has suffered huge losses, the Soviet army has been recovering the lost territory, and most of the people have returned to their hometowns one after another because of the Soviet army's reconquest of the lost territory, they know that their army is really winning all the time, so the morale continues to rise, although they have suffered huge losses, although the economic operation has been completely necrotic, and the government has been using abnormal means to maintain the production of war materials, but they have endured it." Therefore, victory is very important, and the confidence of the people is closely related to victory, and the confidence of the people affects the credibility of the government and the operation of the economy in wartime. Think about it, how long has it been since Britain and the United States here won any decisive victory? ”

The fox looked up at the golden ceiling of Sanssouci Palace, and thought carefully for a while before replying: "It seems that it has been two or three years, and in the early years, the US army was still winning victories in the Chinese battlefield, but after advancing to the hinterland of China with poor infrastructure, the results became less and less, and the British army basically did not score points in Europe, ah, maybe it was a little score at the beginning of the German landing." ”

"That's it, the morale of the British people is already very low, and with the fact that we have been diligently fanning the flames all these years, Churchill's repression has also made the people increasingly disgusted with him. So Britain probably can't hold it out now. And the United States, we are still far from the goal of killing a million American GIs, but there is activity in Vale, so we may not need to kill a million American GIs to force Charlotte to sit at the negotiating table. ”

After Lin Youde finished speaking in one breath, he stopped to drink a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then changed his tone and said: "What we need now is to continue to maintain that the enemy cannot achieve any big victory, and then wait for Britain and the United States to respond to the peace signal we released." ”

"Just waiting?"

"No, if we can, we're going to keep winning." Lin Youde stood up, came to the wall, and stretched out his finger to tap North Africa. "We have been stockpiling supplies in North Africa for half a year, and now it should be enough for the mechanized corps to fight for a month, and with the supplies delivered from Sicily after the start of the war, we can launch a two-month offensive operation to advance the North African front by five hundred to seven hundred kilometers. Of course, this is only the current situation, in fact, Guderian is still adjusting his troops, and he may have to prepare for another month or two, when our stockpiling supplies will be more abundant. In addition, we have a variety of new weapons that will be put into use, such as a new helicopter unit, which will be responsible for the evacuation of the wounded on the battlefield, which will greatly reduce the burden of land transportation. ”

Speaking of this helicopter, in fact, there was also a small-scale use during World War II in another time and space, mainly in low-intensity theaters, when the survivability of the helicopter was a big problem, and the transport capacity was not good, so it was generally responsible for transporting the wounded, search and rescue and other tasks.

Lin Youde has long wanted to engage in air assault troops, he wants to copy the classic scene in "Apocalypse Now", but unfortunately at that time it was impossible to build a helicopter that could meet the requirements, and the prototype manufactured after the test flight evaluation, the German Army thought that it could only be used to transport the seriously wounded who would be hung up if they were not treated immediately, and then felt that it was really not worth it, so they did not purchase it.

Germany still can't build a Vietnam-era helicopter like the UH-1, but after so many years of improvement, especially relying on the increase in engine power, the helicopter can finally be used to transport the wounded.

When the new model was being tested, Guderian happened to go with Lin Youde to see it, and after reading it, he was very excited, thinking that he had found an excellent weapon to match the tank. At that time, Guderian insisted on attaching weapons to the helicopter, but Lin Youde had no choice but to order an air attack with weapons attached, and the result of the actual yàn made Guderian dispel the idea of forming a helicopter gunship: the flight stability of the helicopter made by the current level of technology is simply scum, and even the shooting of heavy machine guns is very inaccurate.

In fact, the problem of stability in the Vietnam War has not been well solved, and the gunships modified with general-purpose helicopters in the movie "Apocalypse Now" do not have that kind of hit rate in actual combat, and hitting a moving car with a rocket or something are all things that can only be done by super veteran aviators.

But after all, it's a movie, and this time and space, when Guderian saw the bad hit, he immediately broke off his mind and decided to form a helicopter unit to transport the wounded, which can somewhat reduce the transportation pressure of some evacuation, and can effectively prevent the seriously wounded from hanging up because there is no treatment on the front line.

In addition to helicopters, there is a large amount of other equipment that will be put into operation for this battle.

"After all, this may be the last large-scale offensive campaign before the armistice." Lin Youde looked back at the fox, "Maybe halfway through this battle, the armistice agreement will be signed." ”
