Battle of the Third Reich
v3 Chapter 11: Sharp edge
"Rheinhardt, what the **** is that, where did you get it, did I not say that no one is allowed to bring weapons into the meeting room?" Hitler's tone became harsher.
"Report my head, this is not a weapon."
"What's not a weapon, what about these... what are these? Decorations?" Hitler said, pointing to the rusty nails.
"My head, this is indeed not a weapon, this... this... is just a common... chair leg, you see that the nails on it are all there already."
"Chair legs?"
Hitler took a closer look, and felt that it was indeed a chair leg.
"Then why did you put him in your briefcase."
"Ah, this is a long story. You know, I was sitting in this chair to rest between the battle between Arras and the enemy. When I came back, I removed a chair leg to prepare for that battle. Souvenir. I didn’t expect to put it in the bag and forgot to take it out. As a result, Field Marshal Gorlin asked for a duel. I saw that he had a weapon, and I couldn’t find the guy who was in his hand. He could resist the marshal scepter anyway, so I took him out."
"High!" Goebbels could not help raising his thumb secretly.
You are awesome, you can compile such a lie, and it is so straightforward, it seems that my Minister of Propaganda is still for you. But do you really think that the heads of state will believe your gibberish?
But the thing that made him fall through his glasses really happened.
"Oh, that's what it is, then you shouldn't use this to fight back. If I didn't stop it in time, Gorin's blood might have bleed to the ground. Now I won't talk about this." Hitler sat back. To the seat.
He looked at Goring.
"Herman, sit down first, don't stand there like a piece of wood."
Then he said to Xu Jun: "I won't say anything else, Rheinhardt, you have to explain it to me now. Why on earth do you want to say that Marshal Goring is bragging?"
Now even an idiot can see that Hitler is partial to Xu Jun. The generals and generals of the army immediately became energetic, and the heads of the Nazis also began to look at Xu Jun with strange eyes. Everyone held their breaths and waited for Xu Jun to answer.
"My head, I don't actually want to insult Marshal Goring, but his suggestion is indeed impossible."
"You bullshit!" Goering jumped again.
Hitler gave him a glance, scolding with dissatisfaction.
"You retract me to your stool, Marshal Goering. Shut your mouth, and let Reinhardt finish talking."
Goering was stunned for a moment. He finally heard from Hitler's title to himself. Hitler was really angry this time. Goering had to retreat to his seat in grievance and continue to glance at Xu Jun's luck.
"I have no nonsense, respectable Marshal Goring. The proposal you made made several key mistakes. So I think your plan cannot be successful, and if you adopt your proposal, it will bring us a lot of Trouble. I must not allow the Third Reich to bear the risk of a total failure due to your arrogance." After Xu Jun calmly said these words, there was another commotion in the audience.
The army officers all looked at each other in a mess, and the Nazi officials were all dumbfounded.
Is it that serious? Didn’t you say that the situation is good? It's just a matter of grabbing merit, is it necessary to speak so alarmistly?
Hitler's face became dignified. He frowned and looked at the map in front of him. After a while, he raised his head and said to Xu Jun.
"Go on, Rheinhardt, where do you see Gorin's proposal would be dangerous to the current battle situation."
Xu Jun nodded solemnly. Then spoke to Goering.
"Marshal Gorin, do you now have a complete and comprehensive plan for the Air Force to eliminate the enemy forces in the Canal Zone?"
Goering asked for a while, he was squeaky speechless.
"That's not it! You haven't worked out a plan yet and dare to boast here that your air force can wipe out the enemy completely. What the **** do you think of the military headquarters' military meeting? Can you talk about the market?"
After saying this, even Hitler felt that Goring seemed too irresponsible, and he began to think about whether he could continue to trust the fat man.
And the army officers were also cheering, and finally someone could speak our minds.
Goering quickly distinguished at this time: "Although I don't have a plan now, I can immediately ask the Air Force Command to work out a plan that can be handed over to the headquarters tomorrow."
"Hum, my dear Marshal Goring, you are bragging again." Xu Jun said with a sneer: It is nine o'clock in the evening, even if you go to notify your staff immediately, they will not be able to In the evening, a detailed combat plan was drawn up. Moreover, the air force was used alone to eliminate enemy forces scattered in a large and complex area using a combat method they had never tried before. "
Hitler and the generals nodded when they heard it. Goering became speechless and spread out in his seat.
Xu Jun continued: "Even if you have already formulated this plan, how many possibilities are there to realize him? The terrain of the canal area is complex, the enemy is numerous, not only has a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but also builds a lot of camouflage positions. Your aerial reconnaissance has always been difficult to identify their camouflage. Without the cooperation and guidance of the Army, how can you find a camouflaged enemy camp? Moreover, the enemy will also receive support and cover from their air force if they are attacked by the enemy air force. How can your bomber wipe out the enemies in such a large area within three days." Xu Jun looked at Goering, who was shrunk in his chair, and the fat man had completely annihilated.
Xu Jun continued: "Don't say for three days, I think it will be difficult to do this in three weeks. If there is no army to participate in this battle, the air force alone will not be able to completely eliminate the enemies in the siege. And, in It seems to me that even if the infantry division and the air force join together, we may not be able to wipe out these troops."
After hearing this, Hitler leaned back, frowning and thinking. Yodel couldn't help it, he asked Xu Jun.
"My deputy head of state, we now know very well that the air force alone cannot completely eliminate those enemy forces, but I think that if the infantry division and the air force cooperate in the attack, although it may not be as short as three days as the commander Gorlin said, but It is also guaranteed that they can be completely eliminated in half a month. Because they have been cut off the supply line, and they are completely surrounded by us in the canal area, they cannot break through our defense line anyway. Why do you think we can’t wipe them out? ?"
At this time, Hitler raised his head in confusion and looked at Xu Jun. He couldn't think of any reason why the Germans would not be able to wipe out the enemy forces already in the encirclement.
Xu Jun smiled and replied: "Because none of us think of the most critical point."
Seeing everyone watching attentively, he was very satisfied with the effect. Xu Jun took a sip of coffee, then put down the cup and walked to the edge of the huge map of Europe, took the benchmark passed by the adjutant, and pointed to a small point on the French coast.
"We didn't pay attention here."
Yodel yelled. "Dunkirk?"
"Yes, Dunkirk. When we were talking about how to eliminate the enemies in the encirclement circle, who thought of a very large loophole in this encirclement circle. It is this humble port city, Dunkerque Gram!"
"We have also considered this port, and the British and French are indeed using that port to transport supplies. From the information we have obtained, they are setting up a bridgehead position in that port. They seem to want to also send backup troops from the UK. If you Worrying about this, please rest assured. This port is too small for this huge force. She can’t afford to supply the whole besieged army. You don’t have to worry about them relying on this port. Hold on."
Yoder proudly thought that he had understood Xu Jun's meaning, still thinking in his mind, although this vice-head of state was indeed a bit talented, it was still a bit tender.
"What? Do you think I am worried about this? What about you?"
Xu Jun looked at the remaining generals, who nodded one by one there. Only Hitler was staring at the map carefully, and it seemed that he could see that the name was coming. Xu Jun walked back to his position, lowered his head, and said in a disappointed tone.
"I'm very disappointed that no one in our headquarters has seen the key."
Then he raised his head sharply, his eyes fixed on the officers, and said coldly.
"Don't any of you think that the enemy might run away from that port?"
Everyone was another commotion. Hitler raised his head suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Jun then spoke with a look that seemed to be worried about the prospect.
"Keep in mind that we have the entire British Expeditionary Force in our encirclement, which is all built with the most elite British troops. The British will never allow all his elite loss here, because if this army is eliminated, The British mainland will not find any army with the strength to block our strong Continental Army. The British government will lose the capital to continue fighting with us. So their government will definitely rescue their elite at all costs.
In front of them, there are only two ways to go. One is to break through to the south of France and meet with the main forces of the south of France. Then they must tear off the defense line constructed by the armored clusters of Krest. According to their current strength, it is completely impossible to do this. The British Naturally, this is also clear.
Then they have only one way left to withdraw their troops from the sea back to Britain. "
