. The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters  Volume 5: Battle of Britain  Chapter 55: Assembly (IV)

"Your level 1 team leader, you will let you go!"

The assault soldier ran quickly, and Mauser in his hand was swinging left and right because of his running posture. After notifying the captain of the first-level commando team who was observing Jersey, he raised his hand and turned around and ran.

The strong sea breeze kept blowing the woods about a hundred meters behind the reef forest, but the branches and leaves of the white pine trees could not conceal the sound of the shaft rolling the soil.

At least forty-eight different caliber artillery were pulled to the edge of the woods by the tractor, and the artillery was then placed in the bunker by SS soldiers. After the artillery squad fixed the artillery, it began to correct the elements. The ammunition hand of the team "Huh! Huh!" shouted and moved the ammunition box, and the ammunition box piled behind the bunker was painted with spray paint to write the model of the ammunition.

The first-level team leader let go of his hand holding the upright telescope. What he was just observing was Jersey. This island is not big, but it is very close to the European continent. At the same time, this island has relatively important strategic value and very important political value.

Jersey belongs to the direct rank of the British royal family, which means that the piece of soil is privately owned by the British royal family. It is built on it. I heard that a lot of dairy cows were specially raised to extract cheese and other foods for the royal family. The island is about 115 square kilometers, because it is a British royal guard stationed in the British royal family, with about a battalion of troops.

Jersey is an important island in the Channel Islands in the British. It is located in the southernmost part of the archipelago. It is about 29 kilometers north of Guernsey and 24 kilometers east of the Normandy coast in France. The north is rugged and the coast is steep. It is a densely forested plateau. It raises cows, grows fruits, potatoes, fresh vegetables and flowers. It also has tourism. Traditional yarn wool wovens have declined. There are passengers and cargo ships connected to London, Liverpool and St. Marlo in France. There is the Jersey Zoo. The capital St. Helier.

During the Battle of France, Germany did not want to take Jersey directly, but based on the considerations of the commander-in-chief, taking Jersey at an inappropriate time would only alarm the United Kingdom. The German Command had another more important consideration, that is, leaving Jersey as a strategic purpose consideration, leaving a foreshadowing for a comprehensive attack on Britain.

Wars are not so straightforward, and every war always has countless thoughts and deployments before it begins. If the German Command wants to make a plan to attack the British Isles, it must make the most complete and feasible plan. Wars are full of deception and danger. In order to truly land on the British Isles, careful division of labor is required, and all thinking has its goal.

The situation is clear now, and the Allied troops on the axis have basically reached the designated position. According to the German Meteorological Agency's prediction, there will be no possibility of sea storms brewing in the English Channel in the near future. It is estimated that a good weather will be a good day in the month, so it is the best time to fight.

According to the German Command, although the Third Reich coordinated with the Axis powers, although the Axis powers had an absolute advantage in the army, the Axis powers had no advantage in the sea. Attacking Britain was not a battle limited to land. The existence of the English Channel was that the Axis powers attacked an insurmountable trench in Britain, so the battle to attack Britain would inevitably require a main attack and more feint directions.

Under this current situation, the Axis powers must gather a navy that is sufficient to confront the Royal Navy head-on. Under this premise, the use of the armed forces of the Royal Navy is restrained. It is not enough to have the preparation of the navy, because under the absolute power gap, any strategy can only play an auxiliary role and cannot decide the ending. Then looking for a good opportunity to take advantage of the Royal Navy being attracted while carrying out unexpectedly landing operations has become one of the few combat advantages that can be implemented.

Currently, including the Third Reich of Germany, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Spain, etc., has assembled more than 3.65 million troops in France, but most of these are onshore troops, which will not play a big role in the battle for sea and air supremacy in the upcoming English Channel.

According to the multi-party investigation and intelligence collected by the Axis powers, the current war potential of the British Isles has been necessary to supplement. Under the emergency conscript of Churchill, the British Isles have been incorporated into a department called the "Regular Guards Department". Most women were also urgently recruited to enter some production departments to replace men in production.

Churchill publicly stated: "Poland has fallen, France has fallen, Denmark and Norway have been occupied by fascist invaders, but Britain will stand forever!"

Churchill, who once served as the British Royal Navy Minister, kept pressuring the navy, shouting the slogan "Britain has reached the critical moment of life and death", forcing the British Royal Navy to conduct emergency mobilization regardless of the attacks of German submarine troops everywhere on the ocean. The world has continuously reported the news that "some ship" was sunk and injured by "sea wolf". The mobilization was mobilized. However, except for some fleets in the Arabian Sea and part of the Atlantic Ocean to safely arrive at the harbour of the Strait of Gibraltar, the rest of the Mid-Sea Sea, Guinea, and Indochina are all full of shipwrecks.

The "Dead Crip" far away on the American continent was shocked when he learned that the "hypocritical fat man" gathered a fleet without regard to the consequences and lost a large number of ships. In less than two months, the British Royal Navy, known as the world's strongest navy, was injured and sunk more than 50 ships of all sizes in the oceans of the world.

Roosevelt said to his black slave (Secretary of Life) with some envy and concern: "The British Royal Navy suffered heavy losses before the real war broke out. I hope the Prime Minister (Churchill)'s decision is right, otherwise he will ruin a powerful fleet in vain." Countries around the world are admiring the strength of the British Royal Navy. The British Royal Navy is worthy of being the most powerful navy today. It seems that the loss of the more than 50 ships is nothing to the huge British Royal Navy. They are still gathering regardless of the consequences.

In fact, the losses of more than fifty ships are really nothing to the Royal Navy. For nearly a hundred years, the first Navy, the British leader, has been the only one, certainly they will not do anything and watch the ships be sunk continuously. The losses of the Royal Navy are inevitable. They selectively "abandon" those old ships as "bait" in the inevitable losses, but combat-capable ships can safely reach the predetermined position.

In fact, what if you feel sorry for the loss of the navy? Britain does have a vast territory, but it is impossible to measure which one is more important than the colonial or the local. According to the real idea of ​​the British, the colonial is only the object of plunder, and many of the colonial resources have also been plundered almost. The local is the foundation. As long as the foundation is still in the colonial world, the only thing that needs to be defended is the British land. As long as Britain wins the final victory of the war, those colonized will still belong to the British government!

As the British continued to tighten their fronts and coastal defenses, the British colonies continued to break out insurgents, and the "second-class citizens" who had been suppressed for nearly two centuries, perhaps even "citizens" were not even bounded, finally awakened for the sake of the nation.

Take Indochina as an example. Since the German and Asian territory, the British colonial forces have leaped to their abdomen, leaving only some "indigenous" garrison troops in some areas, or simply becoming a military vacuum. Under this current situation, the agents of the German intelligence department began to act, and the agents fighting on the intelligence line continued to bewitch the "indigenous people". Driven by interests and the supremacy, Indochina ignited smoke of gunpowder.

Of course, Japan, which is eyeing Indochina, will not be willing to be lonely. Japanese spies fanned the flames everywhere in the areas where British troops evacuated, shouting hypocritical slogans "Asians dominate Asia" and "Asian Prosperity Circle" to constantly incite "indigenous people", causing the situation in Indochina to become increasingly chaotic.

Of course, Asia is far away from Europe, and people who are paying attention to the Battle of Britain will not pay too much attention to Indochina. In fact, even Xu Yang, who is always concerned about Asia, does not have time to care about what role Feng Kruger will play in that "Asian Storm". For the Axis and Allies, Europe is the main battlefield. As long as it can land and occupy the British Isles, even if the British government can support it, it will just jump around on the colonial side like "Free France", and it will not make too much splash.

"Hi! Stark!" Hans raised his hand beautifully, and then followed the flag captain's gaze to the ready artillery formation: "After attacking first, will the paratroopers airborne and clear the remnants of the British Royal Guard?"

"Hi! Stark!" The captain of the flag was a little excited when he returned the gift. His natural dead face was born? He smiled fiercely: "Although it is not our brother unit (Imperial Sabre Paratrooper Division) to carry out an airborne raid mission, in order to have a good relationship with the National Defense Forces, this artillery battle must show the power of the SS unit.

The first-level team leader naturally nodded vigorously. He looked down at his watch: "The 7th Paratrooper of the National Defense Forces will arrive over Jersey and Guernsey in another fifteen minutes."

The captain of the flag still smiled grimly: "Let the soldiers prepare."

The first-level team leader "Hi! Stark" gave another hand raising ceremony, then turned around and left.
Chapter completed!
