While he was whispering, everyone couldn’t hear what he was saying, but he knew that he did say something that should be said to someone. "You don’t know that I really admire you and really want to promote the progress of human science and technology with you, but if you meet me, I have to kill you because you betrayed your own nation. Can you compare with sickert and Carl for Germany? What can’t compare with Hitler … "
Chapter 443 443 Come without evil.
In a quiet apartment in Liverpool, England, two British officials and a man in a suit are sitting at a table quietly drinking coffee. There are more and more refugees outside, but the government property still keeps it quiet and safe.
"The school has fallen?" The man in the suit stared at the coffee mouth and asked, "I heard that the defenders retreated without much resistance?"
"I think what they are doing is that we should not destroy British cities by that stupid Churchill. It is inevitable to negotiate with the Germans-the Germans lack the ability to govern overseas colonies. They really pose no threat to Britain. If we wait for half a year or a year, we still have a chance to defeat the German navy and regain our current disadvantage," an officer nodded and said.
"The Germans are not stupid. Of course, they won’t let the British surrender. Are those people around you really stupid?" Another officer sneered and said, "It’s Churchill’s only crime to watch the front fight."
In fact, the British royal family has sent peace envoys to Berlin frequently through Switzerland and Sweden for a long time. These envoys were secretly sent in order to hope that Germany would hold peace talks.
In fact, this is a delaying tactic, rather than a negotiation. This excuse delays. Once arcado agrees to peace talks between the two countries, the war will stop. The two sides will stop bargaining because of some differences in conditions. In the end, the US-supported British materials will accumulate to a certain amount, and the negotiations will break down and the war will continue
However, it is obvious that the British people are getting less and less interested in negotiating now. Now they really want to talk to the Germans about stopping the war, because the Germans are not far from the British capital
But it was the Germans who wanted the British to surrender, but now they have no interest in the British peace talks. To put it bluntly, there is an English channel where the British are worth negotiating. Since the German team has crossed this channel, there is no need to talk about peace with the British.
As a result, the British envoys were all ignored, and Merkel was meeting with Turkish negotiators recently, hoping that the two countries could establish a solid strategic alliance.
Of course, the Turks are not stupid. Although Germany had a good relationship, it is a pity that they can become a national negotiator. It is definitely not a stupid Turkish negotiator. He wants to see the final result of the British war before Germany and the United States make their own bets.
Unlike Jews, who are anxious because of their geographical location, Turkey is determined to sell. They know that if Germany wants to get its hands on the Middle East and attack the Soviet Union, it must wait for Turkey to decide. Because of the importance of Turkey, even if it is the last one to join the German alliance, it is less important than a distant ally like Japan. Turkey has made up its mind not to see the rabbit and never scatter the eagle.
"We lost Cambridge and a large number of technicians have to be sent to Canada. This kind of thing has never happened in a hundred years. Even in Napoleon’s time, British soil has not been attacked …" The man in western clothes sighed and said, "I have just deciphered part of the German code, and a few simple words have been sorted out. I have to wait until Canada to do the work."
"Dangdang Dangdang" rhythmically knocked at the door. An officer got up and walked over to the door, complaining, "Why is it so slow to buy food?"
When he knocked on the door, he knew something was wrong, because a cold light appeared in front of his eyes, and he had already cut his throat by this cold light before he came to take a step back.
He saw his own blood splashing out and saw the face of the opposite person clearly. It was a strange and resolute face with a pair of cold eyes and a high brow. How did the Germans find this place? Isn’t it confidential that we were ordered to protect this man? Some thoughts flashed through his mind and finally turned white.
In the room, the British * * officer heard a heavy object fall to the floor and got up from his seat in a slight stupor. He took out a waist pistol and motioned the man in a suit not to go out. Then he leaned against the door leading to the living room and casually said, "You didn’t come back until you went to buy food. It’s really not reassuring to tinkle at all …"
Just behind the wall, a man in suspenders flashed into the room with a knife. He raised his hand and tried to point the gun at the back of the man who rushed into the room, but the other hand pinned his wrist from behind.
The British * * officer was obviously specially trained and pulled out his arm when he turned his hand, but then he saw that there were more than five enemies who broke into the house. Before and after he was slightly stunned, three short knives pierced his chest and back.
The mouth was covered with a few whoops. After struggling, the British officer was very unwilling to look at the table. The man in the suit was pale with fear and then he died.
Breaking into the house, an ordinary-looking man in these German special forces speaks fluent English, and the British officer staring at the ground with fear in his eyes said, "Hello, Mr. Turing, would you like to come with us?" Still ready to stay in the UK? "
"I … I won’t betray my motherland …" Turing said with a slight trembling voice. "Don’t imagine that I will work in Germany."
"Before coming, the Fuehrer deliberately charged our action group that Mr. Turing is a very important person, so let us try our best to let you choose your own future," said the commander of the first German special forces. "The Fuehrer asked me to say a word to you. If you still feel that you can’t discuss going to Germany, we will let you die here."
He smiled and went to Turing’s side and whispered, "The Fuehrer said that if Mr. Turing is willing to continue to regard homosexuality as illegal in Britain rather than pardon you in Germany, then please ask Mr. Turing to die in Britain."
You!’ Turing stared at his ear and told him his biggest secret. The man’s face turned blue and red for a long time, but he couldn’t speak for a long time. Finally, he said, "How did you, your head of state, know my secret?"
"Mr. Turing, the Fuehrer not only knows the secret, but even your other half has prepared a wonderful young man in his early 25 s with excellent pedigree," said the official of Shoude. "Can we start?"
Turing lowered his head. "Well, I’ll go to Germany with you! But I must have a new identity … "
"Don’t worry," the official nodded. "There are many people missing in Britain every day, aren’t there?"
As soon as he waved his hand, two Germans came in again, each dragging the body of a dead British civilian. The German official pointed to the mouth of the two bodies and said, "We will set a fire here and leave these bodies to be burnt into coke, so that you will die and become a person. We will leave Liverpool later and return directly to Germany. There should be many British scientists and engineers in the same boat. You may know them and you may have something to talk about."
"Britain? Direct german ship? How is this possible? " Turing is obviously unbelievable. Officer De * * glanced at him and smiled thoughtfully.
A group of people left this apartment in this way. After a while, a big fire broke out here. There are still many places burning in Liverpool. It seems that many people are hiding in Liverpool today, waiting to leave the UK. Engineers and scientists were caught by the Germans, but Turing is still very curious. He really wants to know how these Germans left the UK with him.
As a result, he was really an eye-opener for a mathematical scientist who was obsessed with it all the time. They just swaggered to the port of Liverpool by car, and the car was replaced by the British navy. The Germans were inspected by the British navy and then boarded a freighter ready to go to the United States.
This is a smuggling ship from Germany. The previous stops in Liverpool were all smuggled food from Germany to the UK. The British did not check the ship very strictly and deliberately did not disturb it. arcado asked a nobleman who took refuge in his own country to smuggle food to the UK on the pretence. After several times, he secretly transported special forces and spies to the UK. However, due to the shortage of materials and food in the UK, although he was wary, he did not make great efforts to inspect this smuggling ship from Germany.
Some officers checked some mezzanines on the spur of the moment, and it was either gold or some rich women and children. After several times, they were too lazy to ask about this kind of shady trading. But this time, there were more than 12 scientists and engineers in the mezzanine, and there were dozens of boxes of drawings. Of course, because the city was a mess, it was attacked by German special forces, and no one cared about a German smuggling ship.
Both sides pay attention to each other’s scientific and technological development, and both want to copy the bottom of each other’s century-long accumulation, which is exactly the case.
Chapter 444 444 Gap
In fact, the level of German and British warfare is not as great as the results show. In fact, the combat effectiveness of British combat troops is excellent, and what the century-old empire has accumulated for future generations is very strong, and the military strength is very considerable.
Compared with the simple infantry, the fighting capacity of the two sides is absolutely equal. The German individual firepower tactical innovation has an advantage. The British team is the artillery firepower weapon. What really affects the fighting capacity of both sides is the quality of armored forces and military support.
The fact that the Germans are invincible is that the army destroyed the enemy’s border areas in advance, destroyed the other side’s defense line, and then the armored forces with absolute advantages in quantity and quality tore at the other side’s position, and then handed over the remaining enemy troops who had been heartbroken and confused to their own infantry to clean up.
This mode of warfare relies on the close cooperation between the German army and various services and arms, and the exertion of local experience of various units. To put it bluntly, it is asymmetric fire suppression tactics, military strikes and rapid assault of tanks to make up for the shortage of artillery firepower. This is also the correct way to hide the shortcomings of the number of large-caliber artillery limited by German production capacity as much as possible.
However, in the early stage of the British landing, the German war thought was to transport troops to British soil faster and more, which led to the need for more accurate calculation and analysis of the composition of transport forces. As a result, the rapid assault force of armored forces must be rushed to Britain at the first time to protect the beachhead position, and the number of infantry must also reach the level of regiment troops-so some secondary equipment was compressed to a rather poor number
For example, except for some armored units that need to transport fuel and prepare some cars, most German infantry don’t have a vehicle, not even horses, and there are more than two cars in the military department of rundstedt General Corps, which is even worse than the deployment of French second-class infantry.
Due to the lack of motorized infantry stations to make the German and French battlefields gallop, the German movement speed has become a more serious problem that restricts the German war. The main reason for the slow response of Montgomery Norich in Britain to counterattack the rundstedt A regiment is that the mobilization speed of his troops is really not as good as that of the Turkish Zhan Ying * * team except armored troops.
Similarly, large-caliber artillery units have been neglected, and the amazing consumption of artillery shells has been put in a relatively backward position because of the weight and volume problem. After all, the importance of landing on the beach with naval artillery support and land-based aircraft to make up for the artillery can be ignored.
On February 2nd, Germany only had two regiments of 15mm artillery support units deployed in British soil, and these two regiments lacked traction vehicles, and their artillery combat capability was very limited, while the number of Frederic rockets was quite large. However, due to the rapid dumping speed of ammunition and the integration of vehicles and artillery, they had high maneuverability, which made them reluctant to make the town house treasure be able to press the key at all times.
Therefore, the reason why the British can launch a counterattack at night is like a plug-in, and it has achieved certain results. I believe everyone knows that the German artillery supplemented the German army’s ground attack aircraft force method and put it into the battlefield. The short-term artillery was highlighted at night, and relying on 12 mm caliber mortars and 15 mm caliber artillery to form firepower, a large number of 14 mm caliber howitzers in Britain can be imagined.
Being overwhelmed by the German army during the day, British artillery can attack German positions at night without fear, and German infantry can also be the most vulnerable way of "direct confrontation" at night. When the British are higher, it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort by taking their own shortcomings to attack each other’s strengths.
Another reason for the high loss in the German-British land war was that the quality of the German offensive troops was reduced to 10,000 in 1919, and then the total number of German defense forces was less than one million after arcado’s continuous secret expansion until the last blowout. In February 1993, the total number of German defense forces (including SS) exceeded 50,000-although one-third of them did not have the front-line ability, it is an indisputable fact that 10,000 elite troops were actually expanded three times.
For example, as we all know, the 1st Division of the National Defence Force was the training base of armored forces in those days, and it was the 1st armored division in guderian’s hands. Later, due to the expansion of the troops, the 31st part became a part of the 1st armored division under the jurisdiction of the 1st Armored Army, and the 1st Infantry Division of the National Defence Force became the 1st Paratrooper Division in Studente’s hands. Later, the 1st Infantry Division of the National Defence Force was divided into the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division of the A Regiment, which is now fighting in Britain.
In this way, the fact that the Germans are covered up and invincible, this beautiful aura, the actual ability is clear to everyone, right? Germany claims that the 50,000-strong army is full of water, and the combat capability of the middle battalion is not much higher than that of the current scout in Britain. Most rear soldiers are not even equipped with gas masks, which is a luxury general equipment.
General rundstedt, who landed in Britain, probably said that the German A regiment was no longer fighting in France. The French rundstedt held the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 7th panzer corps in his hand, and almost one third of the panzergrenadiers were equipped with armored vehicles. Now he has two panzer corps, the 2nd Panzer Corps and the 5th Light Panzer Corps, which can be regarded as the main infantry units and one of the 1st infantry division.
It’s not hard to understand why the Germans didn’t fight as well as the British at night, and it’s not hard to understand why the Germans didn’t fight as well as they did in France. The British towns were too dense, and the armored forces’ assault was hindered. The infantry was too close, the speed was too slow, and the lack of heavy weapons could attack the soldiers during the day. The overall performance of the war was not as good as that of the French campaign. These have become the important reasons for the tragic ratio of the British war.
It’s not only the fact of arcado, but also the German generals gamble. They don’t want to push the real main force to the British Isles to consume a large number of recruits. They would rather look at the high number of recruits and bite their teeth to train their own recruits with British recruits. They firmly believe that after the fierce battle in the city, the British battlefield will have 20,000 elite infantry who are familiar with urban warfare in Germany, which is of great benefit to the German infantry who lack the experience of fighting hard.
It is no longer a problem to be delayed in wartime. If Germany does not land in Britain, it will be beneficial to Britain. Now that Britain has become a battlefield, it will no longer be a problem.
What makes you say that? Because the German high command speculated that the fastest time for Americans to enter the state of war was in mid-May, that is, three months later, and arcado generals predicted that the war on the British Isles would end in mid-April, even if the United States entered the war before it was too late, the British war would have been fought by then, and it would be meaningless for the United States to make a fuss about the mountains in northern Britain.
At that time, Germany was now ahead, so the German generals were willing to fight for 15 days. Because Germany had fought hard, there were not many troops who had fought in the war. About 190,000 troops who had fought hard were not as scary as the 550,000 regular army on paper.
On March 3, the Germans once again beat back the symbolic counterattack of Britain in the early morning. They have now occupied Black friel, Royce Shield and braintree. On March 1, they attacked Colchester and won the important port city of Harwich, Clayton-sur-Mer, and Malden also planted the German swastika.
The key point is that on this day, the Germans crossed the Great Uss River and captured March, and the white flag was erected at the head of peterborough, Westbrook, Huntingdon. The remnants of the British Seventh Army surrendered to the Germans, and a huge defense gap appeared in the central part of Britain.
Of course, Germany will not miss this opportunity. Kobe Bryant, Stanford and Leicester changed hands one after another. The northernmost German team kept its feet until it reached the Trent River in Nottingham, while the German army stormed Coventry in the western region. The British army prepared for the 12th army to fight hastily and finally lost to Burham. Then Coventry in Northampton was captured by the Germans, and the Liverpool Road in London was crumbling. The whole British resistance situation took everyone by surprise.
Germany was ready to fight an arduous battle when the British surrendered-what about fighting for every inch of land? We agreed to die? Didn’t you give grenades to the civilians and get ready to burn everything? In the end, you took off your old pants and you showed this to the old man?
The surrender of the British garrison in the central region has indeed brought disastrous consequences to the British defense plan, hoarding oil and a complete airport. Hundreds of fighter planes were handed over to the German enemy, and even a 3-tank was just added to the 7 th Army. Of course, the most popular thing for the Germans was nine 14 mm howitzers.
Chapter 445 445 Differences
This German fighter plane can fly to Liverpool and indiscriminately fire and attack the British defense line, which has led to a very serious consequence, that is, the unequal renewal of the North-South defense forces is so fast.
Everyone was waiting for the German army to occupy London in the south, but the German army went north. rundstedt accurately caught the fighter plane and saw a more convenient way to win. The fragile northern British defense line was like a naked girl, Germany, who had no choice but to keep her eyes open.
There are fairly intact industrial bodies there, and there are important ports and canals. The key is that there are no dense British defenders, anti-aircraft guns and ordinary people who are distributed with grenades like trees.
In response to the bombing of the German forces, almost 9% of the anti-aircraft guns in Britain were deployed in the southern part of England, and the best infantry in Britain was also deployed near London to defend it. The British were ready to wait for the Germans to invade London, so that the Germans could deal with it until the last minute-if they wanted to hold on to the ruins of London for several months, then Britain might be able to help the United States turn around.
Of course, it seems that in the end, things didn’t go as they expected. The Germans lost their lives in London, but they went north in one breath. This chaotic deployment of the British garrison also made their main force, the decisive battle in southern England, fail.
How weak are the troops in the northern region? The surrender of the remnants of the Seventh Army left the British with a gap in defense. As soon as the British lost more than a dozen cities and replaced the Seventh Army to defend the defense line, it was a British reserve army. The commander of the 12th Army barely held Burhan, which made Churchill extremely satisfied.
The fact is not how bravely Britain, the preparatory 12th Army, withstood the "German offensive like the tide"-that’s what the 12th Army report said, but that the Germans stopped the offensive on their own initiative, because this large-scale offensive also made the Germans consume a lot of spare ammunition and oil to integrate the local captured materials. Before the arrival of new supplies, rundstedt was worried that the British troops in the south would be desperate to fight back to the north.
However, it seems that the British disaster was just on March 21. On this day, the British defenders were worried that their flank would be broken by the Germans, and they gave up Walsh Bay and Boston (a city in Britain) fell, and then the British troops in Lincoln and Routh took the initiative to retreat and gave up the whole plain area.
In fact, this is a "goodwill" to Germany’s "allies" by Chamberlain, a few masters in northern Scotland. These Scottish players feel it necessary to maintain a position in the future "Germany, Scotland and Ireland" three-nation alliance, and they will retreat their troops to the mountains to ensure the effectiveness of their strength.
