Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 11: Edge
"Reinhardt, what the **** is that? Where did you get it? Didn't I say that people are not allowed to bring weapons into the conference room?" Hitler's tone became more severe.
"Report to my head, this is not a weapon."
"What are these weapons? What are these... What are these? Decorations?" Hitler pointed to the rusty nails.
"My head of state, this is indeed not a weapon, this...this...this is just an ordinary...chair leg, you see that the nails on this are already there."
"Chair legs?"
Hitler took a closer look again and thought it was indeed a chair leg.
"Then why did you put him in your briefcase."
"Ah, this is a long one. You know, I sat on this chair to rest during the battle between Arras and the enemy. When I came back, I removed a chair leg and prepared it as that A souvenir of the battle. I didn’t expect to put it in my bag and forgot to take it out. As a result, Marshal Goering was looking for a duel with me in front. With it, he can resist the Marshal's scepter anyway, so I took him out and used it."
"High!" Goebbels couldn't help but raised his thumb secretly.
You are so good, you can even make up such a lie, and you are so sensible, it seems that I, the Minister of Propaganda, should let you be the one. But do you really think the head of state will believe your nonsense?
But the thing that made him fall through the eyes really happened.
"Oh, it turned out to be like this, then you shouldn't use this to fight back. If I hadn't stopped it in time, Goering's blood might have flowed all over the floor. Let's not talk about this now." Hitler sat back in his seat.
He looked at Goring.
"Herman, sit down first, don't stand there like a log."
Then he said to Xu Jun: "Leave aside other things, Reinhardt, you must explain to me now, why on earth are you saying that Marshal Goering is bragging?"
Now even an idiot can see Hitler favoring Xu Jun. The generals and marshals of the army immediately became energetic, and the leaders of the Nazis also began to look at Xu Jun with strange eyes. Everyone held their breath, waiting for Xu Jun's answer.
"My head of state, I actually don't want to insult Marshal Goering, but his suggestion is indeed impossible."
"You bullshit!" Goring jumped up again.
Hitler gave him a sideways glance and scolded him dissatisfied.
"Retract me on your stool, Marshal Goering. Shut your mouth and listen to Reinhardt finish."
Goering was stunned for a moment, he finally heard what Hitler called him, Hitler was really angry this time. Goering had to shrink back to his seat aggrievedly and continue to look at Xu Jun's luck.
"I’m not talking nonsense, respectable Marshal Goering. The proposal you made made several critical mistakes. So I believe that your plan cannot be successful, and if you adopt your proposal, it will bring us A lot of trouble. I must never allow the Third Reich to take the risk of total failure just because of your arrogance alone." After Xu Jun calmly said these words, there was another commotion in the audience. .
The army officers all stared at each other confusedly, and the Nazi officers were all stunned.
Is it that serious? Didn’t I say that the situation is great? It's just for grabbing merit. Is it necessary to be so alarmist?
Hitler's face became serious. 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, Reinhardt, where do you see that Goering's proposal is dangerous to the current situation."
Xu Jun nodded solemnly. Then he spoke to Goering.
"Marshal Goering, do you now have a complete and comprehensive plan for the Air Force to eliminate the enemy forces in the Canal Zone?"
Goering stopped asking for a while, he was squeaking speechless.
"Then there is no! You dare to boast here that your air force can completely wipe out the enemy before you have a plan. What do you think of the military regular meeting of the command? Can you talk about it?"
After saying these words, even Hitler felt that Goering seemed to be too irresponsible, and he began to consider whether he could continue to trust the fat man.
And those army officers cheered in their hearts, and finally someone could say what we felt.
Goring hurriedly distinguished: "Although I have no plan now, I can ask the Air Force Command to work out one immediately and hand it over to the Command Headquarters tomorrow."
"Hum, my dear Marshal Goering, you are bragging again." Xu Jun sneered and said: It is nine o'clock in the evening, even if you go to inform your staff immediately, they will not It is possible to draw up a detailed combat plan in one night, and use a combat method that they have never tried before, using the air force alone to destroy the enemy forces scattered in a large complex area. "
Hitler and the generals nodded. Goring became speechless and slumped in his seat.
Xu Jun continued: "Even if you have formulated this plan, how likely is it to realize it? The Canal Zone has a complex terrain and a large number of enemy troops. It not only has a large number of anti-aircraft guns, but also has constructed 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? Besides, the enemy will get the support and cover of their air force. The harassment. How can your bomber destroy an enemy in such a large area within three days." Xu Jun looked at Goring in a daze, and the fat man had completely wilted.
Xu Jun continued: "Don't talk about three days, I think it will be difficult to do this in three weeks. If there is no army participating in this battle, the air force alone will not be able to completely eliminate the encircled enemy. Moreover, in my opinion, even if the infantry division and the Air Force are on board together, we may not be able to wipe out these forces."
After hearing this, Hitler leaned back, frowned and began to think. Yodel couldn't help it anymore, he asked Xu Jun.
"Your Excellency, Deputy Head of State, we now know very well that the air force alone cannot completely wipe out the enemy forces, but I think if the infantry division and the air force cooperate in the offensive, it will not take as long as three days as General Goring said. Short, but it is guaranteed to completely eliminate them within half a month. Because they have been cut off the supply line and are completely surrounded by us in the canal area, they will not be able to break through our defense line in any case. Why do you think we cannot fully What about destroying them?"
At this time Hitler also looked up at Xu Jun in doubt. He couldn't think of any reason why the German army would not be able to wipe out the enemy forces already in the encirclement.
Xu Jun smiled and replied: "Because none of us thought of the most critical point."
Seeing everyone watching him attentively, he was very satisfied with the effect. Xu Jun took a sip of the coffee, then put down the cup and walked to the side of the huge map of Europe. He took the post from the adjutant and pointed to a small spot on the French coast.
"None of us paid attention to this."
Yodel cried. "Dunkirk?"
"Yes, Dunkirk. When we are talking triumphantly about how to eliminate the enemies in the encirclement, who has ever thought that there is a very big loophole in the encirclement. It is this humble port city, Dunkirk!"
"We have also considered this port. The British and French are indeed using that port to transport supplies. From the information we have obtained, they are setting up bridgeheads in that port. They seem to want to bring in backup troops from Britain. . If this is what you are worried about, please rest assured. This port is too small for this huge army, and she simply can’t take on the task of supplying the entire besieged army. You don’t have to worry about it. Rely on this port to survive."
Yordel triumphantly thought he had understood Xu Jun's meaning, and he was still thinking that although the deputy head of state was indeed talented, he was still a little tender.
"What? Do you think this is what I worry about? What about you guys?"
Xu Jun looked at the remaining generals~IndoMTL.com~ They nodded there one by one. Only Hitler was still staring at the map carefully, and it seemed that he saw that the call was coming. Xu Jun walked back to his position, lowered his head, and said in a disappointed tone.
"I'm disappointed, no one in our command department saw the key."
Then he suddenly raised his head, fixed his eyes on the officers, and said coldly.
"Have none of you thought that the enemy might run away from that port?"
There was another commotion among everyone. Hitler suddenly raised his head, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.
Xu Jun then spoke with a look that seemed to be worried about the future.
"Remember that we have the entire British Expeditionary Force in our encirclement, which is all formed with the most elite troops in Britain. The British will never allow all his elite losses here, because if this army After being wiped out, the British mainland will not find any army capable of blocking our powerful army. The British government will lose the capital to continue fighting with us. So their government will definitely rescue their elite at all costs.
And there are only two paths in front of them. One is to break through to the south of France and rendezvous with the main force in the south of France. Then they must tear apart the line of defense constructed by the Crest armor cluster. According to their current strength, it is completely impossible to do this, the British Naturally, these are also very clear.
Then they have only one way left to withdraw their troops from the sea to England. "
