"Report!" Li Le, the head of state guarding the army command, heard a military officer's instrument, shouting a coup for him: "Victory! Head of state!"
Putting down his arm, the officer spread out the folder under his armpit, and then began to read the content of the telegram: "At 10 o'clock in the morning, our army broke through the beach defense line and continued to attack St. Helier..."
After reading it, he closed the message, handed the folder to the colonel beside him, held his chin and saluted, turned around and left the combat command center.
Bolauxichi couldn't believe his ears. The first time his troops relied entirely on large-scale landings to seize the islands, the battle went so smoothly.
He looked at Li Le, who was confident and said, "My head of state, it seems that the battle to land on Jersey has gone smoothly."
Li Le nodded, then pressed his finger on the Jersey aviation map: "Where is our troops going now?"
"The detailed report from the front line has not arrived yet, but based on the progress of an hour ago, our attacking forces should have reached the periphery of St. Helier."
"The defenders will not exceed 3,000. In this case, we have already gone deep into the inland and the battle situation has been decided." Compared to landing, it is still very confident to attack the top leaders of the army from the enemy's hinterland.
Once they occupied the beach and allowed most of the soldiers to land, landing operations turned into an ordinary offensive - attacking on land, the German army in 1940 could be regarded as fearless and invincible in the world.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I believe our troops can have lunch in St. Helier." With enough confidence, Keitel raised his chin and gave his own judgment.
It was as if it was a declaration of victory, and what he said was so natural. And beside him, Bolauschic and several other generals, did not speak out to refute it.
If this is a landing battle, the next victory judgment will be made in advance, these people will immediately refute, but when the battle becomes an inland attack, they will be silent for granted.
"It seems that if we can, we should talk about the implementation of the Sea Lion Plan in advance." Hearing that everyone present agreed to Keitel's judgment, Li Le, the fake head of state, spoke.
It is not only the British top leaders who regard the Battle of Jersey as a preview of the landing in the UK. The German top leaders are also using this landing war to test their troops and measure the possibility of success of the landing war.
After reaching a positive conclusion, Li Le couldn't wait. He knew that there was a time limit for his success in the battle against Britain, and he also knew that once it was delayed until 1941, the Soviet Union and the United States would definitely make a difference.
The script is now completely out of the history that Li Le knows. No one knows when the United States, which participated in the war in 1942, would be involved in the war.
In 1941, the Soviet Union, which was caught off guard by Germany, is now alert. The incident of Germany crossing the Suez Canal has been protested countless times by the Soviet Union.
Li Le didn't know what would happen in the future, so he lost an important golden finger that traveled through time. Some of the remaining golden fingers were invalidated over time.
Before all the gold fingers fail, it is something that Li Le must worry about now to lay a more favorable victory for Germany as much as possible.
Defeating Britain and occupying Britain to complete the Atlantic Barriers is the best situation to completely end the Western Front War.
For this situation, Li Le decided to try the Sea Lion Plan and strive to completely eliminate the British dog skin plaster in the first half of 1941, so that the United States must face a complete Atlantic barrier!
If Germany could be truly profitable if it could induce the British colonies to sway or adopt an instinctive neutral attitude like France after defeating Britain.
Of course, I haven't logged in to the UK yet, nor have I confirmed that I can win the landing battle. It's completely meaningless to imagine such a bright future.
What you can do now is to improve the "Sea Lion Plan" as much as possible, so that Germany can land in foolproof, and use one day to decide who will be the master of Europe in the future!
"My head of state, this is just a small island with less than 3,000 people stationed. It is still a bit arbitrary to judge landing in the UK."
No one knows whether it is arbitrary or not. The Army is still worried that its troops will not be able to land on the UK. This is the focus of Blauchic's words.
Hearing the Army retreating again, Li Le scolded impatiently: "It is right to be careful, but being too careful is just to be timid! Do you still remember the Rhineland? Do you still remember France? The Army always shook its head and said it was impossible, but everything was possible in the end."
Faced with Blauchic, the head of state had a natural psychological advantage in many things. The head of state played with politics and trampled through the cracks between several countries, bringing a revival to Germany.
During the revival, the head of state insisted that the army won a series of battles including Poland to France.
"When we landed in Jersey, we didn't use our full strength... right?" The head of state, who suddenly became strong, asked, looking at the somewhat awkward Bolaochic, who suddenly became strong.
Sometimes this is how things are. When Hitler was alive, he had long gained power over the top leaders of the army. Now that he suddenly exerted his strength, Bolaoxiche of course had to choose to obey.
For several months, the head of state has given everyone a lot of kindness. He no longer confronts the top leaders of the army, but is more willing to use reason and facts to persuade and drive it.
This left a lot of decency for the Army and eased the conflict between the Supreme Command and the Army General Command.
Therefore, the head of state lowered his figure in a few months, allowing this time to persist to accumulate too much prestige ahead of time.
Blauxiche gave in and nodded in agreement, "Yes, my head of state... we only used two regiments of the 112th Division, and there were no heavy artillery troops, only about 4,000 people."
Because they were going to land in the UK, the 112th Division and the armored division of the Adolf Hitler Guard Flag Team were strengthened - both divisions had almost exceeded 20,000 people, which was much larger than the ordinary division.
"In addition! We only dispatched a limited number of air forces, and all of them were reduced according to the power that could be used to land in the UK!" Li Le pointed to some things marked on the map and added.
Bolauchichi knew that the head of state was right - this time the German army did not dispatch armored troops to participate in the landing, nor did they send out to suppress the number of air forces, and the size of the landing troops was greatly reduced.
The most important point is that the German army did not use paratroopers this time, which made it impossible for early attacks and damaging enemy facilities to carry out operations.
In other words, this login operation is a self-castration version of the combat operation. The real operation is more than ten times larger than this, and more troops will participate in the battle.
At least, a trump card like the German paratrooper is really in the hands of the Supreme Commander. With the surprise attack of the German paratroopers, the attack on coastal defense will be at least one level smooth.
"If we send all the paratroopers and the paratroopers to the British land next month, then the advantage will belong to us in a short time." Goering, as the paratrooper's supreme commander, showed off his subordinates at this moment.
"And I can also draw 200 aircraft from the Eastern Front to further strengthen the suppression of British beaches... As long as conditions allow, we can even reach Ashford in one day." He even felt that there was no big problem with letting paratroopers capture a city alone.
Obviously, this is probably too optimistic. Ashford is farther from the coastline than Caen. In history, the Allied forces landed in Normandy, they only captured the German persistent Caen one month after the landing in Normandy.
However, compared to the Army's overly conservative and self-deprecating judgment, Goering's bold and arrogant at this time happened to have become the strong support of the head of state.
At least on the issue of login, today's discussion came to a positive conclusion: it was necessary and feasible for the German army to launch Operation Sea Lion in advance.
"If the weather conditions in January allow, we will start laying the groundwork after Christmas and launching a sudden attack in early January, which should have a good start." Although Li Le was still worried about the weather and the influence of the water temperature at that time, the battle in Jersey gave him too much courage.
Soon, the report on Jersey came again, and the officer just now still had a proud look on his face: "Long live the head of state! The news just now came that the Jersey defenders have surrendered to our army!"
"The Battle of Jersey is over." After looking at the report sent by Hermann by hand, Blauchichisson sighed.
He was still worried just now, feeling that the Head of State was a little overwhelmed by victory, but now, it seems that everything shows that the Head of State's decision is rational and very likely to be successful.
"Is the loss big?" Li Le relaxed instead after getting the result he wanted. He asked about the loss and no longer put extra pressure on the army.
One way to control one's strength is to break through. Li Le didn't know whether it was because of the benefits of time travel or was born with such talent, so he learned and sold it very quickly.
"About 400 soldiers were killed, and about 100 wounded." Keitel, who was looking at the report in his hand, replied with some distress.
