81_81266 Accardo frowned, but didn't say much. But at this moment, the smug feeling that had just swelled up in his heart was gone. He propped his chin in his hand and suddenly sighed.

Accardo, who was silent for a long time, didn't seem to come back to his senses until he realized that Raeder hadn't eaten, and pointed to the things on the table and said embarrassedly, "Hurry up and eat, why don't you eat it?"

How could anyone dare to gobble up food when the leader of the iQue was too weak? Raeder barely squeezed out a smile: "I'm full, Führer, you seem to be thinking about the problem just now, it's about Britain?"

Accardo did not shy away from it, nodding his head and acknowledging Raeder's speculation: "Everyone has put forward their opinions on how to get the British to compromise, but it seems to me that none of these opinions have been able to solve the problem. ”

He smiled and pointed to the French-baked snails on the table, which were deliberately added with vegetables, as if giving an example: "The army built a large-scale landing and leveled Britain in one fell swoop." However, this plan did not ensure victory, and General Student was not optimistic about the combat operations of the Airborne Forces in Britain. You only promised to be able to transport one Panzer Corps across the Channel in a limited amount of time, but the Army's calculations turned out that it would take more than two Panzer Corps to ensure victory. ”

Catherine's plan was drawn up to bomb and force the British to submit, but now London was almost in ruins, and the British had no intention of surrendering...... I am not optimistic about the surrender of Britain under pressure, or I think it is simply impossible. Accardo said, gesturing to the steak in front of him.

Raeder was shocked, this was the first time that the Führer had expressed his stance on the plan for the British affairs proposed by the three armed forces, and it seemed that the Führer was not satisfied with the proposal proposed by the army and the air force, but he could see from Accardo's face that he was not very interested in the plan of the navy.

"I am also very dissatisfied with the Navy's plan, the plan to rely on submarines and aircraft carriers to cut off the British transport lines is too slow, you expect the British to submit in five months, but do you know if we have five months of our own?" asked Accardo with a frown.

"My Führer, though I know that your hunch and analytical accuracy are beyond doubt. But we can't plan with the same expectation of the outcome as you do. Raeder was silent for a while, and after thinking of the words, he said slowly: "You are not optimistic about landing operations, nor are you optimistic about air raids and bombing, nor do you support the plans of the navy...... Führer, I can't think of any other means to bring the British to their knees. ”

Accardo couldn't say anything about his suffering now, so he sighed and used his knife to pluck his steak.

Only he knows in this world that the current Germany has won a victory smoothly, and this qiē is based on the instantaneous defeat of Britain and the slow reaction of the United States, once Britain adjusts the rhythm of the war and waits for a large number of blood transfusions from the United States, then Germany's current scene is just a flower in the mirror, illusory.

If Germany waits like this for three months, not to mention whether the British Isles will really starve to death, let's just say that the United States, which has reacted, will be able to cooperate with Britain in sniping Germany's expansion around the world - the United States will not be able to watch Germany unify Europe, and then it will be the United States supporting the Soviet Union to stab Germany in the back.

The German Navy sank almost all of Britain's aircraft carriers and seven capital warships, but Britain still has a full 13 battleships and battlecruisers, and perhaps in half a year Britain will be able to tighten its belts and launch more aircraft carriers and battleships.

Of course, Accardo knew that there were many, many reasons why he could not wait, such as Accardo's reluctance to see Britain's scientific and technological reserves combined with strong industrial capabilities transformed into terrible war potential - Accardo was not sure when British radar would appear, and he was not sure when Britain's engine technology, which was no less inferior than Germany, would be transformed into the combat effectiveness of the British Air Force on a large scale.

At present, German fighters and bombers have achieved an overwhelming superiority by virtue of their advanced timing of entering the war, absolute numerical superiority, and suppression tactics that prevented Britain's advanced fighters from participating in the war on a large scale. However, once the British Spitfire was mass-produced in Canada, combined with British radar technology, the superiority of the Luftwaffe would be reduced to its original shape, and the defeat in the Battle of Britain could be repeated.

Once Britain's overseas colonies had been given a breather, Britain could drag Germany into a protracted war that Accardo was unwilling to endure, in which the United States and the Soviet Union would be the beneficiaries of a war of attrition, trampling on the ruins of Britain and Germany to become bipolar giants after World War II.

So what Accardo wanted was a quick victory, victory over Britain before the United States and the Soviet Union were ready for war, and then consolidate Europe to make it his own war backyard, while using Italy and Turkey to fan the flames in the Middle East and reach into Africa to prepare for the challenge of the United States and the Soviet Union.

Even if everything went according to his design, he still felt that he lacked time and should use all means to postpone the start of the war between the United States and the Soviet Union against Germany, preferably until about two years after Germany had taken control of the whole of Europe, and preferably three years later, that is, around 1941 according to the original history.

However, no matter how he tried to figure out the direction of the international situation, he felt that the United States and the Soviet Union would enter the war in 1939, and he would definitely not have two or even three years to prepare for a calm war with the United States and the Soviet Union.

In fact, the most suitable plan for Germany now is to land on British soil with all its might, and fight a street battle near London with heavy casualties. However, this plan disgusted Accardo very much, because the battle plan would obviously kill the elite German troops, a large number of soldiers would be stuck in the quagmire of street fighting, and the outcome of the war could not be predicted, all of which made Accardo unwilling to take risks.

It seems that landing in Iceland is less risky, but the effect is not obvious - the air transport line through Iceland has not yet been used by the United States on a large scale, and the goal of cutting off the British transport line that could not be completed by submarine warfare has become easy because of the addition of aircraft carriers, and there is no need for Germany to risk doing more in Iceland.

But in Accardo's mind, whether it is bombing Britain or cutting off British supply lines, it is a way to miss the advantage of time, once Britain gets 2 months, what will happen, Accardo really can't predict. So instead of bombing and cutting off supply lines, Accardo himself preferred an all-or-nothing but quicker landing operation.

Accardo eventually ended the conversation and sent off his Admiral Raeder. Because Accardo really didn't want to talk to Raeder about his inner entanglements - Raeder's tactical cultivation was not as good as that of Ruetyans, and his complaining to Raeder was no different from playing the piano to a cow.

Eventually, Accardo rushed back to Berlin overnight, found his chancellor, Augustus, and left the tangled questions in his mind to this wise and calm old man. As a result, Augustus only smiled after hearing this, and then said: "My Führer, this is actually not a problem at all, we can complete a grand battle plan by giving each branch of the military a chance. ”

"What am I going to do?" asked Accardo, confused.

"My Führer, let's gather our forces and our allies and divide up the British colonies after the war!" Augustus smiled and said: "The Navy's aircraft carrier fleet cooperates with the submarine force to strangle the British transport fleet, and at the same time, the Air Force ensures absolute air supremacy over the coastline and helps the Army to establish a beachhead for landing in the British, and then the Army lands and gets rid of the British resistance......"

"However, this is not the same as the original plans. Accardo said suspiciously, "It's too procrastinating and too inefficient." ”

"My Führer, we have fought several wars, all thanks to your wisdom. Augustus smiled and said: "God is not thin on us! You must know that the real war is rarely predicted to be won or lost, and it depends on the efforts of the front-line commanders, and it must be determined by heaven and many accidental results." ”

"You've done enough for Germany. Leave the rest to us" Augustus smiled: "You know, the enemy doesn't wait just because you're not ready, does he?"

"Enemy, you won't wait just because you're not ready. Accardo sighed, and finally made up his mind: "If we really can't come up with a feasible battle plan, we can only be prepared to lose 500,000 men and fight a war on British soil with unknown outcome or defeat." ”

"My Führer, we only need to shed this blood to make the Atlantic our courtyard wall. Augustus, like a cunning fox, opened his mouth and laughed: "The whole of Europe is impregnable, and the strategic victory of kicking the United States out, 500,000 people, 1 million people, is also a business that will not lose money." ”

"Mr. Augustus...... I thought of having millions of people go to war for my orders alone, thousands of people to die and die. I think there must be better plans and better plans......" Accardo said with a heavy face.

"My Führer, lately I have been studying the military culture of China...... There's an old Chinese saying that 'Ci doesn't command the army', so you're not fit to be a military leader, but you're good at being a head of state. Augustus smiled and said to Accardo: "Leave this dirty work to Brauchitsch, I think he will have this realization." And you, my Führer - you wait for the news of the victory on it. ”。
