Imperial Overlord

Is there a war in the world that can only be won by miracles? History has it. But is there anything in the world that starts to rely on miracles to happen at the time of planning to win the war? Fools also know that there must be no.

If the British navy is not destroyed within 4 months, or the British transport supply line is completely cut off, then Germany's plan to defeat the British by landing is just a good wish.

The crux of the matter, whether Li Le is willing to admit it or not, lies only in Germany's weakest navy. If the navy can continue to win, the German army only exists in theory, and it is possible to defeat the British.

"Go on and prepare dinner for a few marshals." Li Le called Bauman during his break and asked him to prepare food for a few generals for the evening at the Prime Minister's Office.

He even felt that he had definitely opened up a wrong way of time-travel. When others cross-travel, they were all pointing to the country to promote words. When he came to him, how could his taste change?

It's not that Li Le is hypocritical. He, the German head of state, spends about 3 hours a day in endless meetings, and at least 5 hours a day to review and review various materials.

There is still an hour dedicated to sorting out the information, including the bizarre news in his mind, as well as some confirmations from the intelligence department.

Calculated like this, he has to work 9 hours a day and work an hour of overtime every day, not to mention that there is no such thing as a rest on Saturdays and Sundays.

Judging from the workload alone, he could already feel the deep malice brought to him by his career. National leaders are really not so easy to be, and definitely not what those great keyboard warriors in the 21st century can imagine.

The asymmetry of information has directly caused huge differences in decision-making results between civilians and state leaders on many issues.

During the Sino-Japanese naval battle, Qingliu and the students were excited and demanded that the Qing court go to war against Japan. But at the end of the war, how many Qingliu students are willing to fight and shed blood for the country?

It is a pity that when the generals of the Beiyang Navy committed suicide, none of those who shouted loudest went into battle to kill the enemy, and none of them helped to do even a little practical work.

The maintenance of the warship cannot start due to insufficient funds, the infantry is afraid of fighting like a tiger and dare not rush to the fleet, and there is no one at the national level who can coordinate and command.

Only Li Hongzhang, a tragic Manchu lackey and slave, with tears in his back, bears the name of losing his power and humiliating the country, and rolls into the garbage heap of history together with the decadent Manchu Qing government.

And those so-called Qingliu students with the loudest voice changed their target and continued to bark at the Beiyang government and the Kuomintang government.

Now Li Le is sitting in the position of the head of state, and after working so hard for one meeting or even two meetings every day, he barely knows the complexity of the operation of a country.

Just recently, the revision of the Barbarossa plan and the various deployment details of the German side are enough for ordinary people to collapse and go crazy.

It is no wonder that in the end Hitler and all his generals took a decision that was akin to a reckless "fight first and then talk about it".

It's all because when they plan, they don't know what their messy needs are, which ones are real, and which ones are underestimated or overestimated by them.

"Damn it! I was chatting with a group of nobles from the army, but the whole afternoon passed, and only one tenth of the details of the landing operation were perfected." Li Le complained to Bowman depressed.

The secretary of the head of state smiled helplessly. He also knew that the work of the head of state was very intense recently, but he couldn't help much, he could only be regarded as a qualified secretary.

Even in history, Bowman's greatest achievements were not in the military. He was in charge of the Nazi purse, and he was a good butler.

Such a person has no possibility of interfering in a military meeting. He didn't have the ability to intervene either, so he could only sit next to the head of state and record some briefings of the meeting.

In fact, when he heard about the British landing recently, it felt like his head was going to explode. The head of state has three books, which are a collection of three aspects: preparations for landing at sea, landing operations, and follow-up planning.

As a result, this afternoon, one-tenth of the planning part of the landing operations in the three books was not discussed, and the remaining two books were about the same thickness as the Xinhua Dictionary.

"We did our best to dispatch ships, focusing on areas such as the Netherlands and France. Even if the British were blind, they knew that we were really going to fight." Li Le did not see Bowman's equally depressed eyes, and continued to say depressed.

His words made Bowman sigh, and then comforted him: "My head of state, the problem in the army is easy to solve, but in the navy, we really don't have the strength to cover the landing."

What Bowman said was right. Li Le knew that there were only a few ships in the Navy. Of course, it was impossible for these ships to be deployed near the landing site in the English Channel at the same time.

Because if this fleet did not go out to contain the British fleet, but drove to the landing site to cover the landing, the British fleet would follow

In the end, Germany came to support 2 battleships, and 6 battleships of the Royal Navy rushed to the landing site to make waves.

It was an exchange that was completely worth the loss, so on the day of the landing, Li Le preferred to send the fleet to the Atlantic Ocean a few days ago to attract the main British fleet away.

However, in this way, the German naval fleet could not appear on the landing site similar to the time of the Norwegian naval battle. It was ships such as destroyers that could play a role locally.

What is worrying is that the German destroyer fleet has suffered heavy losses and has not recovered. On the other hand, whether they have the courage to fight at the British door is also a question.

"Right now, all we can count on is to cut off the British mainland transportation supply line." Li Le nodded, finally returning to reality.

Everything depends on the navy, and the navy also depends on the combat operations of strangling the opponent's transportation line. But can 4 months really weaken the British Empire to such an extent that it is powerless to resist the landing?

After thinking about it, this is still an unpredictable question. Li Le sighed and murmured, "I really don't want to have a meeting. I have to work overtime again tonight."

Bowman did not hear the complaints behind the Führer, but he heard the whispers before the Führer. So the chief secretary of the head of state hurriedly spoke and suggested, "My head of state, if you don't want to have a meeting, there is one more thing you need to ask."

"Oh?" Li Le suddenly felt very interested when he heard his secretary speak. He glanced at Bowman and asked, "What's the matter? Do you need to cancel tomorrow's meeting?"

"Miss Eva came back from Poland and she wants to see you, if you have time," Bowman said, giving his advice.

It was a matter of course for the Führer to take a day off to meet with Miss Eva when Bauman came.

But after hearing this suggestion, Li Le suddenly felt that it would be easier for him to deal with a large group of field marshals.

"Cough!" Embarrassedly coughed, Li Le smiled awkwardly, and instructed his secretary: "Not today, not tomorrow, probably not tomorrow, as you know recently, too busy."

Thinking of the Ms. Aiwa who made him feel difficult, Li Le felt uncomfortable. He quickly found a topic, and then asked Bowman to go next door to announce the continuation of the meeting, so that the resting marshals and generals could come back and continue talking.

"The Führer is really a leader who knows the army very well." Lundstedt looked at his boss Brauchitch and commented in the next conference room.

In the meeting just now, he saw a head of state with the image of a very wise strategist. Li Le scrutinized every link very carefully, and many places were more detailed than the senior army generals knew.

This in itself is an advantage that the army generals like very much. The head of state understands the military, at least he will not give random orders to interfere with the command. And insisting on the command of the nobles over the army is not what the Junkers nobles are striving for.

As long as the Führer's order is not disorderly and does not often interfere with the military's normal judgment, Lundstedt feels that it is only a normal thing for the Führer to intervene in the military.

The Student's paratroopers were clearly better than expected, as German generals generally agree.

Therefore, as the plan gradually deepened, the combat operations of the German paratroopers in the airborne British operations became more and more complex.

For example, the paratroopers were only responsible for competing for traffic nodes at the beginning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to arrange defensive positions in the inland to prevent the British army from supporting the beaches.

Subsequently, the plan was changed so that the German paratroopers not only had to occupy the traffic nodes and prevent the British reserves from rushing out of the beach, but also were responsible for tasks such as destroying the coastal defense artillery as much as possible.

Later, the German paratroopers had to draw out their troops as soon as possible to attack the beach, attack the defensive troops in the British beach area, and cooperate with the landing troops to expand the landing field as soon as possible.

It seems that in the eyes of senior German generals, the German paratroopers are omnipotent. But Li Le and a few sensible generals know that this is definitely not a good thing.

Pinning all your hopes on German paratroopers is a very dangerous choice in itself. Once the paratroopers were frustrated in Britain, the whole German plan was completely in vain.

"I also know that this is also cooperating with the Führer to draw up the Barbarossa plan!" Brausch said, rubbing his temples. The meeting just now took a lot of energy, and now he is still a little tired.

Before he could rest, Bowman pushed open the door again: "The head of state announced that the meeting will continue!" (.)
