The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

One thing has to be admitted, that is, Marshal Keitel is still capable, at least his control over the situation is still very thorough.

In the entire empire, there are definitely not many people who can do this, at least many people in the current command cannot see these

"What you said makes sense, go on. August nodded, signaling him to continue.

August also wanted to hear different opinions. At least so far, Keitel's analysis was correct and there was nothing wrong with it.

"At present, as long as the supply can keep up, it is not a big problem to hold the current position on the Eastern Front. Moreover, many troops on the Eastern Front have been fully equipped, and their combat effectiveness has increased dramatically. They can face the Soviet counterattack calmly. As long as we can solve the British Isles, we can concentrate on dealing with them."Marshal Keitel said, pointing to the map with a smile

"Yes, the analysis is very thorough, and the current situation is very thorough. The only thing that is missing is the US military on the other side of the Atlantic. They will not watch us capture the British Isles, and will definitely do everything they can to support the British Empire."August nodded first, then shook his head and said

"Their industrial capacity has reached its peak. Their steel production capacity is twice ours, and their annual output of aircraft, tanks, and artillery is several times ours. They launch an aircraft carrier every month, and a destroyer can be launched in a week at most. Such a terrifying capacity will definitely be a big trouble once it fully supports a country."

Marshal Keitel has also heard about America's industrial capacity and nodded silently.

After a while, August smiled and said,"Although America's industrial capacity is strong, we are not weak either. As long as we can integrate all industries, the energy it explodes will be no less than that of America. But it all depends on Speer."

"Okay, we've gone a bit off topic, let's talk about the current situation, how long do you think the British Empire can last?" August asked with interest.

For professional questions like this, it is better to consult professionals. He is just an amateur military enthusiast. He has no problem talking about military affairs on paper and boasting, but he is definitely not as good as a company commander when it comes to commanding.

Hearing the question, Marshal Keitel pondered for a while and said slowly:"I personally feel that the British Isles have reached the end of their rope. According to intelligence, they are also divided into two factions. One faction seeks peaceful negotiations to resolve the problem."

"After all, the last war cost them an entire generation, so the people's desire for war is not high, and coupled with the slackness of military preparations, it is not easy to hold on until now. If the other side does not move the capital immediately, the final result will be collapse."

"Yes, that's what I thought. August nodded again.

"As for how long they can hold out, it depends on the combat effectiveness of the US military. If the combat effectiveness is average, it can last at most three to five days. If it is strong, it may take longer, but no more than ten days. After all, our army is not weak."Marshal Keitel said proudly.

"No, you estimated it to be too long. It shouldn't take that long, two or three days at most, or four days at most. Lord Gort can't leave all his troops in London, so those who stay in London must be American troops, but they came from a long expedition, and the logistical supplies they brought must be limited."

"As long as our army attacks with all their strength, we can put tremendous pressure on the enemy on the north bank, and their logistical supplies will be consumed very quickly."

"The most important thing is that the Empire's secret factory has developed a batch of new weapons, which will be very effective on the battlefield in London."August shook his head and continued

"New weapons?"Marshal Keitel asked in surprise.

"Keep it a secret, you will know when the time comes."August did not answer, but continued to look at the map.

In fact, it is not a mysterious weapon, but cluster bombs and fuel-air explosives. This thing is absolutely effective for siege.

Especially the fuel-air explosives, the effect is absolutely that no living creatures will be left within a radius of hundreds of meters.

Originally, August thought that this thing could only be opened on the fourth floor. Who knew that there was a fuel-air explosive in the corner of the third floor, but the power was not so strong, but it was also several times stronger than ordinary bombs.

As for cluster bombs, the German army originally had them, but the power was not strong enough. But this time, the power of August's was definitely several times stronger.

As for whether it will cause public outrage, when he wins and controls the world, the so-called public outrage will disappear.

This is the right of the winner, and any negative news can be modified at any time

""Has the Duke of Windsor arrived at the port?" August asked immediately, as if he remembered something.

The secretary, who had been silent, quickly replied:"He has arrived at the port and is on the plane. I believe he will arrive in Berlin soon."

"Very good, the Duke of Windsor is also a good banner. I believe that many old nobles in the British Empire have deep feelings for the former king."August narrowed his eyes and showed a sly smile.

Although London has not been taken yet, the post-war distribution has been considered. Direct occupation is impossible. There will be all kinds of troubles, and a large amount of maintenance costs will be invested every year, which is not cost-effective.

The best way is to support a group of close people. After thinking about it, August felt that the Duke of Windsor was more suitable. After all, he was a king and gave up the country for the beauty.

At that time, he gave up not because he really wanted to give up, but because he was forced to. After all, facing the supreme power, no one can give up.

Now there is a chance to take it back, the Duke of Windsor will naturally not give up, not to mention that August promised him that he would make him a truly powerful king, not a puppet.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Windsor alone is not enough to deal with the current situation? Although many people do hope that he can come back, more people still don't want him to come back."Marshal Keitel said with some concern

"Therefore, we need to find him a qualified prime minister."August said with a smile

"Qualified Prime Minister?" Marshal Keitel was stunned for a moment:"Who is it?

Don't you think Chamberlain is very suitable to be the Prime Minister?" August said with a smile:"If it weren't for his appeasement, there would be no empire today. We should thank him."

Hearing this, Marshal Keitel reacted instantly and smiled bitterly:"He probably wouldn't agree. I think he should be very regretful now.""

"No, he will agree. I will give him an offer he cannot refuse." August shook his head and said,"Do you think he will agree to a duke title and a large piece of fiefdom?"

"This is probably hard to refuse." Keitel thought about it and realized that if it were him, he would definitely not refuse.
