Imperial Overlord

So now the problem is coming. Since Li Le feels that the shortcoming of the Navy in the Sea Lion project is really irreparable, the next thing is more difficult.

The first is that Air Force targets become blurred, and suppression of British air strikes will diminish over time.

On the other hand, the British were also strengthening their coastline defense system, but the German preparations could not translate into practical results in a short period of time.

The second is the army's unfamiliarity with landing operations - this is completely different from landing in Norway, and the combat effectiveness of the British and Norwegian armies is completely different.

If the army armored force could not be transported to the British mainland as soon as possible, what kind of result the German army could achieve in the UK is not easy for Li Le to speculate.

Fools also know that it would be a great victory if they could defeat the UK once and for all, and occupy the island to open up access to the Atlantic Ocean.

In this way, an Atlantic bulwark against the United States can be established, leaving the powerful United States with nothing to do with Europe.

So, if it really landed and won the UK, Germany would have won almost half of World War II.

However, if Li Le were to be deployed ten or even twenty years in advance, like the protagonists who travelled through the novels he had read, landing in the UK would still be a feasible plan.

But it is a pity that Li Le traveled back in June 1940. He had no way to rewrite history, and there was no way to undo what had happened.

The Dunkirk evacuation has taken place, and Germany has missed its best chance to weaken the British Army.

Under the circumstances, Germany's landing in the UK was difficult, but the shortcomings of the Luftwaffe's lack of long-range attack power were still inherited.

It is impossible for Li Le to make up for so many shortcomings in a short period of time. He is not one of those lucky traversers, and he can carry good things such as the Red Alert base and the interstellar portal with him.

"If there are only the requisitioned fishing boats and other landing ships, how likely is the Army to successfully occupy the landing site?" The Navy couldn't count on it at all, so Li Le turned his attention to the Army.

Brauchitch shook his head, if the navy can get all the warships out of the nest and form a combat force to seize the sea dominance, the army's grasp will only be 30% at most.

After all, Germany is not the United States or the United Kingdom. There are not enough main battleships. It is impossible to spend time and effort to build a special landing ship for landing in the United Kingdom.

To transport tanks and personnel, we can only rely on amateur barges and other requisitioned ships.

How could it be possible for such a rudimentary landing transport to allow the troops to land on the beach heavily guarded by the British defenders in a timely and smooth manner?

Once the army's invincible tanks fail to deploy smoothly, the cover force expands the landing field, waiting for the disaster of the German army to come.

The first is that the German army, which has a weak successor, will fall into an embarrassing situation without support.

In order for the first wave of attacking troops to have a sufficient number, the Germans could only concentrate their ships to maximize their delivery volume at one time.

But these ships have sailed to the British coastline, and it will take more and more time to return to Germany to load up a ship of people or supplies - maybe it's getting dark!

Speaking of darkness, another deadly question arises. If the Luftwaffe cannot continue to cover because of darkness, who will stop the British navy?

At night, there will be countless destroyers, cruisers and even battleships entering the German landing waters.

Attack the landing ships and bombard the German landing site from behind. The German soldiers who had landed in England this night could only rely on their own strength to get through it.

Then, on the first landing, how many ammunition and how many people can the Germans send to England? No matter how you calculate this number, it cannot exceed 50,000.

Relying on the strength of less than 50,000 people, under the attack of hundreds of thousands of British troops, they survived all night...

Even if Brauchitch tried to make himself optimistic, he couldn't speculate the probability of victory to more than 30%.

Of course, if you take into account the lack of landing experience, whether the landing troops can successfully continue to transport troops to the British mainland in the chaos of the next day - the answer that the army can give is actually similar to that of the navy.

"Without naval cover, the success rate of the Army's landing operations would not exceed ten percent." Lundstedt gave his own estimate.

In fact, the Army Headquarters was more pessimistic. The generals believed that the success rate of rushing to the UK was not even 1%.

Li Le also estimated the same, because he knew what the situation of the army was at this time.

So he looked at Lundstedt in surprise, wondering how the latter estimated the probability of 10% so optimistically.

The latter saw the head of state's surprised eyes, blushed slightly, lowered his head and added: "Of course, this is a very optimistic estimate, and the probability of a normal estimate is not even more than 1%."

Li Le nodded, and finally reached an agreement with Brauchitch, Lundstedt and others.

He looked at Marshal Kluge in the distance and asked, "Marshal Kluge, I want to know, if we let the army prepare for a year, can the success rate of the landing be improved?"

"My head of state! If the training and preparation are sufficient, and the supplies are more abundant, I think the success rate exceeds 30%, it is still possible." Kluger gave a relatively conservative estimate.

Because Li Le did not give his conditions, and this vague assumption is only vague judgment, what Li Le actually wants to confirm is the time when the Sea Lion plan may be implemented.

A year later, the Navy has almost recovered. If you are lucky, you can even hit the British naval fleet.

At that time, Germany had at least one aircraft carrier, two battleships, and four heavy cruisers. With the addition of small ships such as destroyers, the safety of the landing site could almost be guaranteed.

But what Li Le is not sure about is whether the British have come out of the shadow of failure a year later and are ready to face the German army.

If a few months later, the British air battle falls into a passive state, then the victory achieved this week will be wasted by Li Le and the unprepared German military.

Thinking of this, Li Le was very unwilling again. After all, he knew that Britain was very weak now, and it was the best time to defeat Britain.

"The reason for the rush to hold this meeting is that my intelligence personnel in the UK are limited, so we can get less and less information in terms of intelligence." Li Le opened his mouth and gave his explanation.

His explanation made Goering tremble. Although he had a hunch, he didn't want to believe that such a thing happened.

Kesselring raised his eyebrows. He was also a little depressed when he heard the news, because the loss of such an important source of intelligence was a huge loss that could not be more huge.

Two days ago, the Air Force found that its target had not changed for two consecutive days.

At that time, Goering and Kesselring met with the Führer, hoping that the Führer could give new targets for attack.

However, Li Le only asked the Air Force to attack existing targets again, and did not give new targets for the Air Force to attack.

As early as that time, Kesselring had a premonition of the "danger" of the Führer's intelligence personnel, but he did not expect the problem to come so quickly.

"The British are redeploying their defenses. If we can't make trouble for them, then our victory will be wasted." Li Le expressed his thoughts with regret.

"We should continue to attack the British factories and airports by taking advantage of the advantages we have achieved to expand our advantages," Goering said.

"The factory is not so easy to move, we can make sure that they are completely destroyed! Including the equipment inside, as well as the factory building!" In the original historical time and space, Goering was also a insistent on attacking the opponent's air force and airport.

So at this time, it is not surprising that he proposed to continue to weaken the British fighter force and air defense force. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

"Yes, we have to continue the bombing, but we all know that with the passage of time, the trouble the bombing will cause the British will become less and less." Li Le nodded helplessly and said.

"Although reluctant, we can only use this method now." Kesselring was also entangled in the current situation.

"My head of state, another thing... This is the report from last night." After tangled, the air force marshal released a document and said to Li Le.

He pointed to the document: "Last night, a British bomber unit attacked Berlin..."

"Although we took off the night fighter jets to intercept them in time, they still attacked the suburbs of Berlin and dropped bombs there." After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Le.

Goering followed Kesselring's words and continued: "Last night shot down 21 British bombers, and achieved brilliant results."

"The British bombing did not cause much damage. Two houses were damaged and no one was injured." Speaking of this matter, Goering also felt that his face was dull.

He repeatedly assured that Berlin was the absolutely safe imperial capital, and now the British slapped him in the face mercilessly.

"If we retaliate and bomb London...will the British fighter jets be forced out to fight us?" Li Le asked suddenly.

Although he was reluctant, Li Le didn't have a good solution right now. When he found such an opportunity, Li Le had to try this trick to see if the British would be fooled.

"It's not really revenge bombing, but bombing London to lure the British fighter troops to fight!" He explained his thoughts, and looked at Kesselring as he asked.
