Chapter 664 Whimsical
Plymouth is a British naval base and port city.
It is located in the center of Plymouth Bay southwest England, between the Primus and the Tyma River, and is located on the English Channel. Naval shipyards were built here as early as 1690. At the same time, the Devin Port in the south is an important port of the British Navy.
How can such an important military port be used to log in? Even if you find a beach to log in, it is better than here!
However, everyone worshiped Cialis, and no matter what strange thoughts Cialis proposed, they would execute them without hesitation.
For example now.
After the initial surprise passed, Marshal Kettle, as the host, began to analyze. Since he was promoted to Marshal, he has worked harder.
"It is not easy to land at Plymouth Military Port. Here, there are at least 30,000 British troops stationed. According to our previous calculations, the defenders have the advantage in landing operations. We must have at least a ratio of 10 to 1 to win."
When landing in Brest, France, the German Navy showed its strength, but it was just a surprise. The other party was not prepared and wanted to land in the British military port, which was different.
"From our current abilities, we can send up to one Marine Division at a time." Keitel said: "Even if we add airborne troops, the troops that can be sent at one time will not exceed 30,000. This is a one-to-one ratio. In landing operations, this is definitely a dangerous ratio."
Even though the shipyard has been working hard enough, it is impossible to build a ship in an instant. Even if it is integrated into French shipbuilding companies, it will take time. Now, it is this embarrassing time.
The delivery capability is simply insufficient. If you include an ordinary merchant ship, it will be quite a lot. However, the first shock wave is a special landing ship.
Not enough, not enough at all.
"If we can't accumulate more power, why don't we want to weaken the British?" Cialick said: "We make fake moves to make the British think we are going to land in Dover, so what should the British do?"
Unlike in history, the British expeditionary forces had surrendered to Germany! Before Britain could deliver the ransom, these prisoners of war were sent to Sperer, and the mines controlled by Germany lacked enough labor.
Therefore, the military strength in the UK is very poor now. Although they claim to have millions of troops, the real team is still about 200,000 troops stationed in the local area, and the rest are just Boy Scouts recruited.
Therefore, if the German landing place was Dover, the British would have to dispatch from other places in order to strengthen their defense there, such as Plymouth, without having to maintain a scale of 30,000 people, and having tens of thousands is enough.
Cialick gradually opened up their minds. In this way, they could consider it all at once and put on a fierce attitude to fool the British. The British army had very poor mobility. In this way, when they attacked Plymouth, the other party could not be mobilized at all!
It can be said that the important task of the first batch of landing troops is to stick to the position and persevere until the second batch of troops arrive. If you directly occupy the port, it will be more convenient to load and unload goods, and the attack will be faster and more effective.
Another advantage of choosing Plymouth is that you don’t have to worry about those mines!
As an important port in the UK, mines will not be set up near Plymouth. After all, the British cannot block themselves.
With Cialek's proposal, the scene became active again, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, even the officers of the army were no exception.
"I think we should arrange a large number of suspicious soldiers in Calais and other places, and even dispatch once or twice to stimulate the British and make the news that we plan to land in Dover more reliable," said Manstein.
Cross-service! What about the Navy? Hearing this, Raidel frowned.
The Navy is not enough! We have to consider the Atlantic Ocean and take into account how much power the Navy can have this landing? If we arrange doubters on the front line of Calais, we will not have that much power at hand.
"This time, when we landed in Britain, we are also helping the French to avenge their revenge." Cialick said generously: "This time we landed across the sea, and France cannot be idle. Well, I suggest that we should organize a French volunteer to fight the strait with us."
Foreign supporters! Cialek had long thought about this plan.
As the war continues and the territory continues to expand, Germany will definitely face the problem of soldiers. How to solve this problem? Of course, it is to find foreign volunteer soldiers!
The backless French surrendered and the French army was disbanded. At this time, some soldiers who were used to using rifles would definitely be willing to return to the army and give them this opportunity themselves!
Form a unit of French people and then fight to England! Just think about it and you will know how pleasing it!
Is it impossible? Of course not! Since the British Navy has opened fire on the French Navy, the two sides are no longer friends, but enemies!
In Dunkirk, the British betrayed French allies, and in North Africa, Britain opened fire on France again. This is the deep hatred of blood!
When everyone heard the French volunteers, they smiled knowingly. Yes, this is indeed a solution! Moreover, in this way, the news about one's landing in Dover will be easier to reach the ears of the British!
So, the general policy was decided like this, and the detailed plan was naturally completed by subordinates.
The landing location is just one aspect. It is very important to cooperate with each army and to quickly seize air supremacy once the battle begins. Germany has rich experience, so of course there is no need for Cialek to do everything personally.
And Cialek took advantage of the past few days to check the integration of French industry and how it was going.
France is the fifth largest industrial country in the world. Moreover, because the French war was going on very quickly, France's industry suffered almost no losses. Now, the industrial areas in the north have been directly occupied by Germany, and correspondingly, these industries have been fully accepted by Germany.
The German violent soldiers began from then on! The main force was fully mechanized, and various warships were placed in dumplings and aircraft expanded production, which was completely inseparable from French industry!
As the German Minister of Quartermaster in charge of production, Sperer has been staying in France for a while.
