Chapter 210 New Battlefield (Supplement)
Schnewinder predicts that the British and American navies can assemble 4 aircraft carriers (2 large and 2 small), 5 battleship fleets, the German and Italian navy plus island defense, and the pilot's advantage bonus. If the fleet fights, there is a high chance of winning and a sure win, no one will fight you.
His mind was very fast and he thought about more problems. As long as this battle started, Britain and the United States would not move in the direction of Yar again. This is much more important than a 6th battle brigade and materials and equipment. The greatest significance of Yar's existence is to form a rope around the neck of the British Empire, and it became tighter and tighter. After the new 21 submarines were put into service on a large scale, the doomsday of the British Isles was about to come, and Japan would eventually act as a gravedigger for the British to capture India.
Instead of trying hard to make the Sea Lion Plan and using 10,000 troops to implement the Ding6 Plan, which may not be successful, it is better to draw 10,000 troops to South America to try the depth of the water. After the United States has wasted its power on national defense, it will continue to waste its power in other aspects.
One thing he thought Yuan was right. The German and Italian navy always had to compete with the British and American navies, and it was impossible for Japan to bring it to play with each other. It would be too slow to grow that way. Considering the amazing shipbuilding ability of the United States, it must continue to fight with the United States, take the lead in fighting with the United States, disrupting the other party's rhythm, and never easily allow the other party to form an overwhelming advantage in warship numbers.
However, when he thought of Yar, he felt it was a little tricky. After hesitating for a long time, he still asked: "What if the main force of the Navy went to attack the Horse Island, and Britain and the United States went to attack Yar at this time?"
"This is a problem." Hoffman frowned, "but I hope it cannot be placed on the fleet to help defend the island. If each island needs the fleet to help defend, no matter how many warships we have, I can still ask, what if the enemy is feintingly attacking Yar, in fact, attacking the Canary Islands?"
Schnewind had no good statement about this either.
"So, the island ultimately needs to rely on its own strength to defend, at least it must be able to support the support fleet to arrive. Yar is the island that we spend the most and invested the largest. If we cannot form our own defense system, it would be a joke." Hoffman said dissatisfiedly, "Just as you told me two days ago that there was a spy on the island, who has been revealing the news to the outside world since the day we occupied it, but you have been unable to catch him for a long time."
Kettle knew that the blame could not be taken by the navy, so he said it rare: "We didn't expect there would be spies, and we didn't expect that this spy was actually a native Portuguese. The Imperial Security Bureau had a wrong direction in the anti-espionage direction at the beginning. They devoted their main energy to the newly landed island personnel, thinking that it was the engineering personnel we brought into Yar who had mixed up with spies, and wasted their efforts..."
However, Kettle stopped talking about it, because the General Security Bureau was directly in charge of the Yuan Dynasty and accused it of being too diverse and not looking good on the surface.
"No, we have to make some money. He is an amateur who is not good at intelligence. He has a very keen sense of smell when he catches spies, and is much more sensitive than those so-called experts." Hoffman was furious about this. "Some of our generals are not pedantic, but almost stupid. So far, they are still refusing the Security Bureau to intervene in military affairs, and want to build an army in the military, an independent kingdom! Such people, no matter what their military rank, will be transferred to the reserve service on the spot once they are now."
Everyone suddenly realized why Redel and the old marshal and his generals stood aside. The important reason was that the old marshal refused to let the Security Bureau intervene and only believed in the Navy's own anti-espionage and supervision agency. After Canaris was hanged, the institution had long been embarrassed.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Yodel quickly changed the topic and introduced Yaer's defense: "After several months of construction, Yaer can now be described as impeccable. We have deployed a total of 4 6 battle brigades, including Admiral Schell, which acted as a fixed turret after stranding. It has 47 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 28m and more than 155mm heavy howitzers, and has stockpiled enough ammunition for three battles;
In terms of air defense, after cumulative transfer and loss supplement, there are now more than 48o aircraft of various types, and all three main island air defense towers are under construction. It is expected that one can be completed every month in 5, 6, and 7 months. It has more than 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns or more. Relying on the air defense tower, three radar stations have been established;
In terms of breaking the transaction, we have built the original warehouse, dock and oil depot of Yingxiong Port. The first phase of the project will be completed next week and can reserve 120,000 tons of various types of oil. The second phase of the project will be completed in July, and the total storage capacity will be 10,000 tons. We have built a new submarine supply base. The large cave depot is completed in August. It is expected to accommodate 6 submarines into the cave at the same time, but now we can only use the docking supply method. We have deployed more than 100,000 small warships including S-boats, anti-submarine patrol boats, and minecraft boats on the island..."
"We must continue to work hard on anti-submarines. I heard that the activities of British and American submarines are rampant?"
"Yes, over the past few months, we have lost 11 merchant ships or transport ships, but we have sunk more than 20 submarines, both in the United Kingdom and the United States." Schnewind did not dare to be careless. "There may be more than British and American submarines in this waters, and the Navy intends to draw more ju-29o patrol aircraft."
"Anti-submarine forces and submarine forces should communicate more and listen to how our submarines avoid anti-submarine forces. You need materials, merchant ships, equipment, materials, and personnel. You even stopped the construction of Atlantic barriers. If you don't do it well, you will be indifferent to the German people." Hoffman thought for a while and asked, "How many landmines are buried?"
"There are about 20,000 to 30,000..."
"Not enough, far from enough." Hoffman waved his hand, "Add 10 times, ten thousand pieces."
"But, in this way, Yaer will become a military base in the future and no one will be able to live in any more people."
"Residence? Who wants to live?" Hoffman roared, "Yal is now the key noose to hang the British, and in the future it will be a frontier position to fight against the United States. I am also planning to move all the V-2 rockets in the future. This is the most important military base in the whole of Europe. Did you actually tell me to live?"
Everyone could only look at the new Chief of Staff, whose forehead was constantly sweating coldly.
"Who is the supreme commander on the island now?"
General Weiss himself.”
"Very good, I ordered Weiss, and after the surface defense system was basically completed, I moved into the underground and dug a tunnel... In addition, I went to their island defense experience on the Pacific Front through General Horitiki, which would help us." Hoffman smiled, "Although the Japanese were defeated repeatedly, they had seen the United States' Battle of Ding6, so it would be good to refer to it."
Everyone nodded unanimously.
"If there is no problem, please prepare a springboard plan according to this policy. In the direction of Africa, the British and American troops in Kenya will be completely eliminated before July 15, and the occupation of Kenya and Tanganyika will be completed. Then the transport ships will use the two months of preparation time to hoard materials on Madagascar. The British and American arms seized by Africa do not need to be stored in the warehouse, and will be sent directly to Argentina. On the Navy, when Mashar's fleet completes rest and replenishes, the joint submarine force will immediately rely on Yaer to go to Britain, and the Canadian route will be broken. Prepare for one month, so Churchill's life cannot be made too easy. Since the jets have been exposed, I will find a way to transfer more than 1OO to Yaer to participate in air defense next month and kill the mighty of British and American heavy bombers."
At the end of the meeting, Zeitzler reported on the situation on the Eastern Front: "Because the rainfall on the Eastern Front is too high this year and the grouting period is long, Marshal Manstein hopes to postpone the third phase of the Spring Awakening Campaign to be carried out after May 17. The aircraft reconnaissance also showed that due to the extremely calm middle section of the Eastern Front, the Russians were drawing troops there to fill the holes in the southern front. He wanted to ask Model's Central Army Group to launch a short assault, threatening the direction of Moscow and mobilizing enemy forces."
"Yes, are there any specific difficulties?"
"Model proposed to add 4oo tanks and 6oo aircraft."
Hoffman smiled secretly: This is Model's old problem. Whenever there is a big deal, he will ask for equipment. If he doesn't give it, he will shout every day. However, the Third Reich is much wider than in history. This thing is basically a week's output. He agreed without thinking and said, "Strengthen these forces to Marshal Weix's Oriental Army Group, let them end the rest and join the middle lane to fight. Since they are going to deceive Stalin, it's like this, the 6th Army General Staff will be responsible for the cross-war zone coordination."
When Zetzler heard that he could get more troops and supplies, he agreed with great satisfaction.
As soon as the Supreme Command meeting ended, Hoffmann summoned Ribintrop, who had been rushing back from Paris, and asked, "How about the secret negotiations with the French?"
"Betton is still hesitating, but Dallang is very moved." Ribintrop explained, "Betton's hesitation is that we have never been able to reach 6 England. He believes that this is the biggest hidden danger and he is trying his best to get 6 as soon as possible."
"I have a good idea, very good, but I won't go to the 6th... I won't starve the British to death, and I will try to hit the nails." Hoffman sneered.
"Do you want to encourage Dallang to get rid of it..." Ribin Troop didn't continue the second half, but Hoffman understood what he meant: it implies that Dallang would replace him.
"Don't..." Hoffman said after pondering for a moment, "Young people are prone to impulsiveness, and they don't care about the consequences when they are impulsive. If Darlang is convinced by us in a few words, he will easily be persuaded by Americans in the future. You should find a calm and reliable politician."
Young man? Ribintrop was stunned by the words. Looking at Yuan's age and thinking about Dallang's appearance, he could not link the three words "young man" to the latter: the French navy leader is in his sixties, and he is 8 years older than Yuan. No matter what standard he uses, he is not equated with young people. Only when he is with Betton, Dallang, who is over 60 years old, can only be considered a minority. (To be continued.) 8
