The Third Reich: I Became Emperor
Chapter 77
"Landing in Boston?"Many people in the conference room were stunned for a long time when they heard this battle plan.
They had never thought of this battle plan. The idea they had always thought of was to force a crossing of the English Channel. They had already studied the pros and cons of this thoroughly, and the final solution they got was that landing in Dover would greatly shorten the logistics supply.
Now, August proposed to land in Boston to cut off the British army's retreat, which made many people's eyes light up.
Yes, why must we limit ourselves to landing in Dover? We can open up the situation from other places.
"Yes, now that the Royal Fleet has been severely damaged, the North Sea is our private territory. We can organize a landing force and attack Boston directly."August said while gesturing on the map.
As August explained, many generals nodded subconsciously. It can be said that until now, they have not found the disadvantages of this plan.
In fact, this plan is to rely on the control of the sea. With the control of the sea, you can land however you want. Without the control of the sea, everything is useless.
"Your Majesty, this plan is absolutely impeccable."Marshal Brauchitsch sighed. He still missed the Hohenzollern dynasty very much. He was worried that August was young and had no military talent. Now it seems that the members of the Hohenzollern family are born with military talent.
The significance of the Hohenzollern dynasty to Germany is equivalent to the significance of the Napoleon family to France.
If it were not for the legitimate son of Emperor Napoleon, the King of Rome died early, and the one who was restored later would not be Napoleon III.
"The premise for the implementation of this plan is that the navy gains control of the sea. In the past, the navy has not achieved a key victory. Otherwise, with your intelligence, you would definitely have thought of it."August smiled and gave everyone in the conference room a high hat:"I just took advantage of a little bit, it's nothing."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone responded in unison
"In this case, order Marshal Rundstedt to form another landing force, escorted by the navy. Maintain high pressure on the Dover Port front line, and the Air Force must firmly grasp air supremacy. August ordered in a deep voice.
""Yes! Your Majesty," Field Marshal Keitel responded quickly.
………
On the other side, Montgomery received a call from the front line, his eyes full of disbelief:"Asshole, what did you say? Dover Port was attacked by naval guns? All three lines of defense were lost? The German army is advancing?"
"Damn it! Who told you to retreat? Push back and hold the line."
"What? Can't stop it? Bastard, I'm going to court-martial you."
"Let me go to the front line? Shit……"
Montgomery was so angry at the officer on the other end of the phone that he laughed. He didn't expect that the other party had even thought of a reason to retreat and didn't give him a chance to refute.
""Commander, we can't force the soldiers on the front too much. After all, we have lost the Royal Fleet now, and the army alone can't stop the bombardment of the naval guns." The officer on the side couldn't help but persuade him.
Hearing this, Montgomery was silent. He certainly knew that the army alone could not stop the bombardment of the naval guns. This has been proven.
"I understand what you said, but the Prime Minister has clearly stated that we must not retreat. How can I explain this to him?" Montgomery sighed and said
"And once the Germans gain a foothold, I don't think our army can stop the Germans' attack. We must stop them outside Dover and never let them advance a step."
He knew the combat effectiveness of the armies of both sides. No country could defeat them in land warfare. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are the kings of land warfare. As for the Germans in North Africa, they were defeated purely because of the loss of logistical supplies. It can't be said that they were defeated, but only that they were repelled.
Therefore, what Montgomery is worried about now is that with stable logistical supplies, the Germans will burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.
""Commander, there is no good solution at the moment. The power of the naval guns is too great. We can't stop them." The British officer spread his hands, expressing his helplessness.
"How on earth was the damn navy defeated?" someone asked
"A new weapon, similar to the V2 missile."Montgomery thought about it and said.
It's impossible to hide it. It won't be long before the German army will announce it. It's better to admit it openly.
"What? Their missiles have such strong accuracy?"Someone was surprised
"No, it was a missile installed on a warship. It was very powerful and accurate. The Navy lost. We were lagging behind the Germans in technology. Montgomery sighed. To be honest, without the Navy, Montgomery did not have much confidence in holding the line. After all, no country's army could defeat the well-equipped and high-spirited German army head-on.
"Tell the front line to defend Dover."To be honest, Montgomery felt that these days were the most tiring in his life.
Even when he was being chased and beaten by Rommel in North Africa, he had never been so tired. Now, every day he received bad news, not a single good news.
He could foresee that the Prime Minister would be furious when he received this news, but this news had to be reported. After thinking about it, Montgomery picked up the phone and called the Prime Minister's office.
"Hello, General Montgomery, do you have any good news for me?" On the other end of the phone, Fatty Qiu was still full of passion, without any sign of fatigue.
""Mr. Prime Minister, I have some bad news for you. The German and French naval fleets have appeared outside the port of Dover. The frontline suffered heavy losses and has lost three lines of defense." Montgomery still reported.
Hearing this, Fatty Qiu did not get angry at all, but seemed very calm:"I know, how long do you think it will take the German army to reach London?"
Hearing this, Montgomery sighed in his heart. He would rather Fatty Qiu get angry, lose his temper, and curse a few words, but now his indifferent statement makes him feel very sad. Is the empire really going to end?
"Prime Minister, from Dover to London, a total of 300,000 troops have been deployed, which can at least stop the German army for three months. Montgomery thought about it and gave a conservative figure.
"If we can gain air superiority, this time will be longer. Finally, he added:
"Three months? I get it. Remember, no matter what, you have to hold on for three months."After saying that, Fatty Qiu hung up the phone. He lit a cigar skillfully, exhaled a puff of smoke, and looked at Menzies from MI6 in front of him.
"How's the investigation going?"
"Sorry, Prime Minister, we have not yet found the source of these weapons. We only know that they came from a secret cave. We suspect that the Germans have a secret factory here."Menzies explained.
"So what are you waiting for? Send someone to blow up this factory. Do you still need me to teach you?" Fatty Qiu said with some dissatisfaction.
"Prime Minister, this factory is too heavily guarded to be approached."Menzies said helplessly.
"I only want the result, I don't care about the process. I'll give you half a month to destroy this factory."Fat Qiu said coldly.
"Yes!" Menzies said helplessly.
