Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 12: 3 requirements
"How is this possible! There are hundreds of thousands of people there, how could the British come up with such a crazy plan. No one can secretly evacuate hundreds of thousands of people from such a port under our noses "Yodel shouted.
"Did I say they were going to sneak away? They can walk in front of us. Following the advice of General Rondstedt, we parked our armored units on the periphery and let the infantry divisions go Offensive. You said earlier that it will take us half a month to hit the beach.
That is to say, if the enemy is willing to sacrifice a group of outer guards to withstand the attack of the infantry division to the death, it is possible to drag the battle for a month, and their large forces can completely withdraw to the UK in this time.
When our infantrymen wipe out the outer guards and fight there, I think there may only be an empty beach and a port in ruins. "
"My air force can stop the enemy's retreat!"
The fat man didn't give up yet, he jumped up again to make some credit. But before Xu Jun could speak, Hitler glared him back to his seat with a fierce look.
Xu Jun smiled and said to Goring.
"I told you earlier, Marshal Goering, your air force cannot give those enemies a deadly attack. What do you rely on to stop them from retreating?
We still don’t know if the weather conditions when the enemy retreats allow your plane to attack. Even if the weather is always good, your plane will never be able to destroy all transport ships, because the enemy's powerful navy and air force will definitely provide cover for their retreat.
You may be able to eliminate some of them, and a large number of other enemies will run away from your air force. Because the British will complete their plan at all costs, their fighting determination will become as strong as we have never seen before. Therefore, it is impossible for you to completely rely on the air force to prevent the retreat of these troops.
If we let these troops escape, it will leave hidden dangers for the next phase of the empire's operations, and may still be the seeds of failure. In the future, in order to eliminate these escaped troops, I still don't know how much we have to pay, but it will never be as easy as it is now. The limited resources of the empire could never withstand such consumption. "
At this time, Keitel said: "General Reinhardt, what you are talking about is also hypothetical. There is no evidence that the enemy is retreating, and how many ships can the British have to carry these soldiers? The enemy has really started to retreat. If we just blow up the harbor with planes, can we not disrupt their actions?"
Xu Jun smiled again, just about to answer the marshal's question. Hitler stepped in at this moment.
" Reinhardt is right! They will indeed retreat from the sea. I thought about it carefully before, and indeed, if I were the prime minister of the United Kingdom, I would also agree with this crazy idea. Because the United Kingdom absolutely cannot afford it. The cost of the elite troops being eliminated once. He will also desperately promote the completion of this plan for his prime ministerial position.
Reinhardt thought of what none of us thought of, he is indeed a genius. He saved the war again.
If we release these troops, we cannot guarantee whether they will land in the rear of France. That is a big obstacle to our next stage of operations, because these troops are already familiar with our fighting methods, and they will be more effective in hindering the German army's offensive when they are adequately supplied from the rear.
If we can’t fight quickly, then we will face a disaster like 1918. So even if they have no signs of retreating now, we still have to guard against them doing this. We must now go all out to eliminate these troops in the Canal Zone as quickly as possible.
And you said that the British don’t have so many boats. If I were the British Prime Minister, I would rescue these troops even if I concentrated all the floating things in the country. Are you afraid that they would not find a boat? "
Xu Jun listened to Hitler's words and couldn't help nodding secretly, although Hitler would become self-conscious and arrogant in the latter part of World War II. But during the Battle of France, he did control the course of the war carefully and keenly, as historically said. His military literacy is already very high, and he can often get through with strategic issues. However, due to the lack of experience in commanding large forces, he still relied on the opinions of the following generals at the beginning of World War II. This was the influence of Rondstedt and Goering to commit Dunkirk. The first and biggest strategic error.
Now is the time to make up for this mistake by myself.
Hitler turned his head and said to Xu Jun after finishing saying: "My dear Reinhardt, since you have seen this problem that we all overlooked, you must have a solution. ."
Xu Jun hurriedly replied: "Yes, I have been thinking about this issue when fighting in Arras. I have indeed drawn up a battle plan. If the battle is implemented strictly according to my plan, I believe Few British or French can escape the harbour, and we can do this at a small price. There may be unexpected gains."
"Then you don't hurry up and get your plan out." Hitler couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Xu Jun's words, and he urged Xu Jun to quickly come up with a plan to destroy so many enemies at a very small cost.
Xu Jun stood there and took out a document from his briefcase. Then he said seriously to Hitler.
"My head, before I announce my plan, I want to make three requirements."
"Huh? What's the requirement? Tell me and listen." Hitler was a little unhappy. When it comes to the bones, do you still have to make terms?
Xu Jun also found Hitler's face changed, he said calmly.
"My head of state, these few requirements I want to make are based entirely on the purpose of completing this battle, and there is no personal will in it."
Hitler's face eased, and he said embarrassingly.
"Hehe, my dear Reinhardt, I have complete trust in you, don't have other concerns, if you can make this battle a perfect end, any request can be made."
"Yes. My head of state."
Xu Jun cleared his throat, and then said loudly to Hitler.
"The first requirement is that because the scale of this battle is large and detailed and the situation may change rapidly over time, in order to better maintain the implementation of my plan, I request the Supreme Commander The Ministry gave me the supreme command of this battle, so that I have the right to mobilize, arrange, and command all the troops participating in this battle. And I also have the supreme power to dispose of the troops participating in this battle, which can go beyond the military The court directly punishes officers and soldiers who are disadvantaged in combat."
Hitler lowered his head and thought, and immediately replied decisively: "Yes, these powers are necessary for the commander of a battle. I can grant you these powers in the name of the highest command of the Wehrmacht. What's the next requirement?"
There was a commotion among the army officers below. The head of state indeed seemed to trust this Reinhardt unconditionally, and he agreed to decentralize such a high level of power. This means that Reinhardt has the power to use any of the three army groups during this battle~IndoMTL.com~ That is equivalent to owning the elite troops of the entire German army, which is in the Third Reich It is unique in history.
Xu Jun continued: "In my plan, I will need an elite and powerful force to complete operations in the most critical areas. So I want to ask you, please allow me to choose among all army units Several troops form my immediate legion. I personally direct their combat operations in that key area. And please allow me to retain this force after the victory, so that I can continue the great cause of the Third Reich Fight on."
This time Hitler didn't even think about it and answered directly: "Of course you can. As the deputy head of the Third Reich, you also have a military position. You should have a direct unit under your direct command. For example, Goring has his Goring regiment, and you can also have your own army directly under it. This requirement is not excessive. Wait for you to discuss with the Army Command the list of troops you need."
Hitler was still complimenting Xu Jun for his ability. He came up with such a good way to immediately control several elite troops in the army under the direct leadership of the Nazi Party.
After hearing Xu Jun’s request, the army officers did not express any objections. They were thinking about how to win the deputy head of state, and now they would agree to Xu Jun even if he wanted to take one or two troops. He just wants to form a direct legion, of course they will not object.
"Thank you, my head of state. My third request is. I want to set up an air force wing directly under my corps. I hope you can send a wing from the air force to me."
