"In addition, tell Lütjens to go out for a walk when you have enough rest. I'm waiting for his good news!" Li Le added this sentence a second before Bowman was about to leave the Fuhrer's office. ∑,

By this time, Bowman fully understood the current behavior of the Führer. He is now less of a politician and more of an unruly market scoundrel.

As it happens, it is this rogue style that is probably the most pragmatic, and in the best interest of Germany, option.

At dawn on the second day of the Brest air battle, the German anti-aircraft artillery positions can still be seen with dark circles and soldiers guarding the positions.

On the same day, on November 25, a train pulled into the station of the Brest military port and brought the last car of fuel.

Now that Lütjens has got enough fuel, the German fleet in the port of Brest is once again ready for battle at sea.

The wounded Bismarck was replaced by the battlecruiser Scharnhorst, which remained the same powerful guerrilla fleet.

Lütjens, who could not wait for a long time, drew up a new battle plan on the same day after receiving the order of the head of state, and decided to leave his home port and enter the Atlantic Ocean that night.

There are many British agents deployed in France, and of course these spies have obtained a lot of intelligence information. The British home command, of course, knew that the Germans were replenishing Brest's fuel, and the fleet could strike again at any time.

But the British really have no ability to stop the German fleet. Their navy has returned to the station, and their air force has suffered heavy losses and has not recovered yet.

"There is a newly developed intelligence officer from Free France. Yesterday, he saw a train full of fuel that drove past his city." An officer in the British intelligence service reported helplessly to his boss.

"Yesterday? Yesterday's information, why was it sorted out today?" His boss frowned when he heard the information.

You must know that yesterday's train was almost in the port of Brest today. This kind of news that can prove the German Navy's combat readiness should not have been delayed so much.

When the officer under his command heard this question, the helplessness on his face became more obvious: "Sir, the department is conducting a routine self-examination recently, and the documents are piled up like a mountain."

Such routine self-examinations have been carried out regularly within British intelligence since the presence of German shadow forces on British soil.

Although nothing useful can be found at all, because it is the highest-level order, all departments can only strictly implement it.

As a result, the progress of everyone's work has been seriously slowed down, the documents are piled up like a mountain and no one is managing them, and all departments in the UK have become a mess.

Fortunately, the British are more old-fashioned than the Americans. If it were the Americans, it is estimated that some departments would have gone on strike and collapsed long ago.

"Hey" I don't know if he was sighing about the document, or he was sighing about the self-examination. Anyway, the chief of the intelligence department finally sighed and also put on a helpless expression.

This time the German Navy set off from Brest and entered the vast Atlantic Ocean directly, and the British Navy had no way to stop it.

In the same way, the British side could only endure if the German fleet wanted to do something in the Atlantic.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way, His Majesty the King would not have come up with indiscriminate tricks and asked the Germans to play some kind of delaying tactics such as peace.

Because of the existence of shadow troops, Germany has killed a large number of double agents and spies in the country, so that the British intelligence network has been completely lost.

This large-scale destruction directly affected the information transmission of the French occupied areas. There is little information about Brest, where much of the area was requisitioned by the Germans as a military exclusion zone, and there is no way to investigate.

The failure of the Air Force is the most intuitive response to this lack of intelligence. The intelligence officer rubbed the bridge of his nose and could only helplessly wave to his subordinates.

If the "shadow" troop is not removed for a day, any intelligence work cannot be carried out normally. Blame the secret security bureau in charge of this matter, it has nothing to do with external intelligence agencies like them.

Just when the British intelligence agency was spending its own brain cells for the fuel transported by a train, an accident occurred in Gibraltar that shocked the British mainland.

The French Air Force dispatched 20 bombers in a retaliatory bombing of Gibraltar! This was the first blatant counterattack by the Vichy French government, and it was claimed to be revenge for the Battle of Oran.

It is unclear how many British men Darlan's fleet lost at Oran, but the British knew that their battleship Resolve had sunk there.

You Vichy France are too embarrassed to ask for revenge? We UK sank a battleship, and you didn't lose any fart. You want to take revenge?

The air strikes did not cause much damage to Gibraltar, except that an oil storage tank was blown up, and a third of the remaining fuel in the tank exploded into the sky.

Including the loss of personnel, Gibraltar can be described as a minor loss. But the French attack took place at this point in time, giving sensitive Britons a tinge of danger.

Fostering a free France, making wind and rain in many French colonies, and attacking the French fleet, and a series of deadly acts, finally let Vichy France begin to fall to the German enemy in an all-round way.

Once the French fleet in the port of Toulon joins the war, it will be a disaster for Britain.

Compared with Italy's fleet in the Mediterranean, which was not seaworthy and short-legged, and could not enter the Atlantic Ocean, the French fleet could be more threatening to Britain.

In any case, France, which has two coastlines in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, has a much more reliable fleet in terms of seaworthiness and range than Italy's short-legged fleet.

If this fleet began to cooperate with the German fleet, whether it was to enter the Atlantic to fight, or completely pin down the fleet of Somerville in Gibraltar, the British would be in a desperate situation.

Without the fleet attacking Brest, the German fleet faced the British mainland fleet alone. It can really be said that they are evenly matched. This joke is too big.

The countermeasure given by Churchill is to appease the Vichy government of France on the one hand, and let Charles de Gaulle's Free France restrain as much as possible recently.

The stimulus ran wild with the French Vichy government, with no benefit other than making Gibraltar a battlefield and ultimately losing this vital Mediterranean valve.

Another deadly news, from Somerville. The commander of the fleet sent a question that neither Churchill nor Charles could answer.

"Tell me, if Brest's German fleet goes to sea again, can Somerville's fleet be dispatched?" Churchill looked at the newly appointed naval commander-in-chief Charles and asked.

If given a choice, Charles is really reluctant to take over the hot-ass position of the Admiral of the Navy. His predecessor, Pound, was mad at his post. How could this not make people feel emotional?

But he has indeed taken office, and the problem of the prime minister is indeed a problem that he, the naval commander, has to face.

So Charles touched his chin and replied reluctantly, "The fleet of Somerville may not be able to move anymore."

The French stabbed such a knife in Gibraltar, which seemed painless, but it actually brought a lot of pressure to the UK.

Now, if the main force of the fleet leaves Gibraltar, if the French fleet and the Italian fleet join forces to kill this base, it will be completely over.

Not to mention the occupation of the army, just pouring two hours' worth of ammunition on the harbour under the cover of aircraft is enough to blow it up to rubble.

There is really no need to fully occupy it, as long as some of the port facilities are bombed, it is enough to turn it into an abandoned port.

Gibraltar is equipped with a lot of forts, and it looks very strong, but these forts are either very old or seriously insufficient.

A few years ago, no matter how big the brains of the British executives were, they would never have imagined that Gibraltar might face the shelling of five or six battleships of the enemy navy.

"Then tell me again, with only the local fleet, how can we fight the German fleet?" Churchill heard Charles' answer and asked again.

Hearing the Prime Minister's question, Charles really has the urge to cry, can I quit? You ask me one sentence after another, who am I going to ask?

I sighed in my heart that on the surface, I really couldn't lift the table to strike. Charles considered the language for a while, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com said to Churchill: "Only, let's see if Duke Hamilton can leave the German fleet in Brest."

I didn't expect Charles to answer like this, and Churchill was obviously taken aback. Then he nodded, expressing his agreement that up to now, he could only rely on trickery like Duke Hamilton.

Charles sighed and said that he was really tired and didn't love him. It is a great irony that the dignified British Empire, the world's No. 1 navy, has to rely on tricks to delay time and hold the other's fleet.

He also felt the burning pain on his face, and Churchill beside him. A few months ago, he was the one who confidently stopped Hamilton's peace talks and tore his face with Germany.

At this moment, Churchill really had no other thoughts than to sigh with emotion. He tried all the ways to defeat Germany, but fate played with him and made all his attempts fail.

Just when the British Home Command pinned all its hopes on the phasing out of an ethereal Duke Hamilton.

That night, the German fleet slowly drove out of the naval port and rushed towards the Atlantic Ocean.
