"I'll give you a month at most, and during that time, you have to concentrate 25,000 available aircraft. Deploy them in the north, west, and mainland of France, and then I'll get in touch with Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Spain, and they'll have about 10,000 planes, and I'll give them all to you. I hope that you can use the power in your hands to bring the British to their knees in 2 months! Don't you want to end the war quickly? This goal will be achieved by defeating Britain, and China is still far from us after all, and if Britain is gone, he will be the first country to negotiate peace with us. As for the rest of the Americans? We are not afraid of him at all! Wilhelm II was so dissatisfied with the report submitted by Hitthofen that he did not even comment on the report itself, but said what he had planned!

Looking at the air marshal with a hesitant and helpless expression, Wilhelm II continued: "The most important thing in military affairs is to concentrate forces and seize the opportunity to attack the most lethal places of the opponent, and now, there is a golden opportunity before us, and the British will not have more than 15,000 aircraft for the air defense of their homeland. With the United States and Huaxia, their number will not exceed 20,000, and many of them are bombers, and their replenishment capabilities cannot be compared with ours, even if you consume 3,000 fighters per month, it doesn't matter, I can replenish you with 4,000 or even more! Our power is always rising, and the British are slowly falling! I will also have the Navy isolate the British mainland from the rest of the world, and we are now in a period of superiority and the other side is in a period of weakness. And our soldiers can pierce the weakest point of the opponent - London! Tell me, Marshal. What exactly are you waiting for? We have defeated Russia, Italy and France, and the last old empire in Europe is about to submit to the military might of the empire, what do you have to hesitate about? If you're up to the task. I've got you covered! "Wilhelm II's last words were clearly an order.

"But we have to fight across the sea, and we can't recover the pilots we lost in the UK, and compared to the planes, experienced pilots are the treasure of the Air Force. The British began to adjust their production capacity as early as 2 months ago, they stopped almost all bomber production and invested resources in fighter aircraft, and the speed at which they replenished was amazing. And we are going to throw the resources of fighters and light bombers into heavy bombers, and I think it is difficult for our replenishment capabilities to meet the standard you are talking about, and the Americans have built an air line from Canada to Greenland to Iceland, through which their fighters can fly directly to the UK. The number of Entente aircraft in Britain will soon exceed 23,000! Our advantage is not huge. And I doubt that the Navy will be able to blockade Britain, the Chinese fleet has already reached the United States, and they will soon enter the Atlantic! Richthofen knew that his opinion would not be accepted, and that he would even be reprimanded by the Kaiser, but with a hint of illusion, he still said these rather taboo words, hoping that the latter would pull back from the precipice and make the right decision.

Faced with today's surprisingly stubborn Air Force commander, Wilhelm II also felt a little tricky. After all, the former was the head of the Luftwaffe, although he had often been at odds with himself lately. Some of the things that were done were not as good as they could have been. But the Kaiser really didn't dare to replace him casually. The Red Baron has led the Air Force alone for twenty years, and this is the Air Force version of "Tirpitz Forever"! In the face of such a figure who almost single-handedly built up the air force, Wilhelm II also had to put up with it, especially when preparing for an air raid on Britain! Without Richthofen. Who can integrate the forces of almost 35 air armies of 4 countries? And just when the Kaiser was annoyed, the arrival of the commander of the navy, Count Spee, turned the situation around. The Kaiser found an excuse to leave for the time being, and let the naval commander deal with the commander of the air force!

"I should have thought that you were the one who drove the LinkedIn project! Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would never have made such a desperate bet. He was a king, not a marshal. Richthofen looked at Count Spee opposite. Then he said with some hatred. Count Spee was also simply, after the departure of the Kaiser. Frankly admitted, it was he who promoted the plan to attack Britain with all his might. And in Richthofen's view, such actions of the Navy clearly pushed the Air Force into a dilemma! The weight of the army's opinion was declining, and the Kaiser, with the support of the navy, could naturally force the air force to carry out this plan.

"From the point of view of the Air Force, you made the right choice. You are very well aware of the strength of the British Air Force, and the outline of the plan that you once showed me is very good, at least at the tactical level, you have stuck the losses and gains of the Air Force at a critical point, striking British industry with a short period of high-intensity attacks, and stopping the attack before the opponent has adapted to your tactics. Then it moved to the active defense phase, and the saved forces were used in the Middle East. Win by fighting a war of attrition that even the Entente could not hold. You think this plan is very sound. But from a strategic point of view, I think this plan is self-defeating! "Count Spee's qualifications are significantly higher than those of the Red Baron, who was still a pilot when he led the army and fought a bloody war with the Entente.

But this time, his own side obviously had a loss of personal morality, so he used a salutation when answering the other party, but the count still insisted on the point of view of the machine, he did not approve of the baron's plan, he thought that only the British were completely finished, and Germany could win! Otherwise, no matter how big the victory is, it will be just a flash in the pan!

"As you can see, the defeat of France was a huge setback for the Entente, but it was not enough to make them admit defeat, and the accession of China was completely on top of three or even four France! The balance of power between the two sides is not for the better, but even worse! We must defeat one enemy after another in a short period of time to have any hope of victory, otherwise, once China attacks from the direction of the Middle East, Britain and the United States attack in the direction of the Atlantic, the German army will be forced to fight on two fronts, although I do not know how the air force will deal with the war situation in Europe and the Middle East, but I can clearly tell you that the navy cannot cope with this situation! To dismantle the fleet in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans is to find death! Count Spee continued.

Long after the end of the Battle of the Atlantic. Count Spee and his subordinates carefully studied the future battlefield situation. The navy is different from the air force, and the special design and tasks of the navy determine that the German high seas fleet must not be used as a domestic squat fleet. He must take on the heavy responsibility of containing Britain and maintaining sea supremacy in the Indian Ocean at the same time! These are the two most fundamental pillars of Germany's unbeaten streak! If the Entente had used Britain as a base, it would have led to a never-ending situation in the direction of Germany itself.

In order to ensure the safety of the skies over the mainland. The Germans had to devote a lot of material and human resources to the anti-aircraft artillery units of the Air Force and various civil air defense facilities. And even then, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the industrial system. It may be that the exchange of air battles is at a loss compared to that of the Entente, but if you count the losses of industry and cities, then it is really a matter of saying that whoever suffers will take advantage.

Not to mention the Indian Ocean, China already has a geographical advantage, its home is closer to the Middle East, and the oil fields in the Lianghe River Basin and the Transcaucasia, where German tanks depend, are within the strike range of the Huaxia Corps, and a simple air force attack is already difficult to deal with, if a ground war breaks out. The Navy must secure access to the Middle East, and what if this fails? The German Middle East Army, which lacked logistics, would absolutely not be able to withstand the attacks of China and the Entente, and the oil fields in the two river basins and the Transcaucasian region would sooner or later be captured. As a result, the Allied bloc would lose at least half of its liquid fuel. Combat effectiveness is bound to be greatly reduced. Turkey will then fall. Then the Chinese legions would reach the edge of the Mediterranean. After the battle was fought to this extent, Germany had actually lost, it was just a matter of how long it lasted.

Then after seeing through this, the problem comes. Will the German High Seas Fleet be able to maintain both seas and confront a powerful enemy at the same time? Count Spee has no confidence, very little confidence! Although the Germans had the advantage of fighting on the inside line, neither the American and British fleets nor the Chinese fleet had to go all out to win. And judging by the fact that the decisive battle of the fleet has just ended, it is simply unrealistic to want to take out the opponent at once. Count Spee thought he had done his best. But it only slandered the opponent, and it couldn't even be a heavy injury! The German High Seas Fleet could concentrate all its efforts to barely gain an advantage on one front, and if it were to split its forces to deal with attacks from both sides, it would certainly be broken by each of them.

If only that's all. Not so much as to let the Earl of Spee take risks in the British question. But after carefully evaluating the national strength and naval capacity of both sides, the Earl found that the current form of sea was actually the best time! Because at this time, the navies of the United States and Britain were in a period of weakness. The blow of the previous section weakened the opponent, and the massively built battleship did not have time to form combat effectiveness.

And if it drags on any longer. By the time the Germans welcomed their Caesar the Great-class aircraft carriers, the Essex Sea for the Americans was probably already in shape. And the new aircraft carriers of the Chinese will also be in service in large quantities, which are not inferior to the Kaiser the Great-class aircraft carriers of the Germans both qualitatively and quantitatively! If you grow by yourself, the other party may increase by three or even more! What the? Germany's allies, you ask? Please, except for Austria-Hungary, which can be regarded as a great power, the others, whether it is Turkey or Spain, are only at the soy sauce level. Austria-Hungary, on the other hand, said that it would be difficult to launch more capital ships while maintaining the attrition of the army and air force. It would be nice to be able to make up for the battle damage!

So after some assessment, the German Navy found that attacking Britain was their last chance to end the war in a short time! And if this opportunity is abandoned, I am afraid that if the Germans want to end the war with dignity, they will have to spend several years, either to defeat the American and British fleets in the Atlantic, or to negotiate peace with China!

"This operation will also be a tough battle or even a disaster for the Navy, have you figured out how to deal with all this? Your Excellency? Richthofen finally calmed down from his annoyance, even some anger, and he looked at the gray-haired Count Spee in front of him.

"In fact, the threat and challenge faced by the navy is greater than that of the air force, and your losses are at least within a controllable range, no matter how the opposing forces are strengthened, in a short period of time, the Luftwaffe will have a huge advantage, maybe the offensive may be frustrated, but the defense will definitely not be a problem. And when leading the fleet into the ocean. What I need to face is the naval power of China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France! Their total strength far exceeds that of the Allied fleet! Although they are separated on both sides of the Atlantic, the Chinese Navy and the U.S. Navy alone have put me under great pressure, and it is very likely that today I am still talking and laughing with you, and tomorrow I will never be able to set foot on my native soil. But even then, I must lead my fleet to the unpredictable oceans! If you are going to end the war in a short time, then you should support my plan. I don't think you think the Empire will have anything to gain in a war of attrition, do you? Count Spee said with a wry smile.

"In this campaign, I also hope that you and your air force will increase the intensity of air raids on the port and the Royal Navy, dragging them on British soil. The main force of the American fleet has already set sail for its home, and the French may follow. I don't want the High Seas Fleet to be stabbed in the back while confronting the enemy to the west. Of course, as a debriefing, I can hand over half of the strength of the Navy's land-based aviation to your men. They will help you complete the blockade of the British offshore. Count Spee continued, as if two merchants were negotiating a version of the terms, and what they could give each other and what they wanted to be made clear!

"I hope you made the right decision." At this point, the Red Baron also knew that the Battle of England would be inevitable, the Germans would concentrate all their energy on launching an attack on Britain, the Navy and Air Force would do their best to lay down the last bastion of the Entente, and the Army would also draw out elite troops to prepare for the landing after the British Air Force weakened! The Germans had a good idea and intended to take advantage of the unprecedented weakness of the Entente to seal the victory in one fell swoop! But the Germans were too naïve, could China and the Entente watch the Germans eat Britain? Obviously impossible!

While the Germans were planning all this, China and the Entente were also discussing how to get through this vacuum! The main fleet of the Chinese Navy has arrived in the United States, and they are about to reach the Atlantic coast through the Panama Canal, and the main forces of the American fleet and the French fleet have also returned from Europe. Build an impregnable Great Wall for the route to the UK! And this is only one aspect of the upcoming plan, Xu Jie's vision is definitely not limited to the Atlantic!
