Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 197: Record

"The glorious German Wehrmacht is invincible. No enemy can stop our pace." The voice-over seemed a bit exciting, but it was still within acceptable limits. The audience in Germany liked this passionate style. Xu Jun sat in the middle of the first row of the temporary screening room, with a bottle of Coca-Cola on his left and a bucket of popcorn on his right.

"The German Wehrmacht has already conquered the English Channel, and countless brave soldiers are marching toward the United Kingdom, determined to completely defeat this most dangerous enemy." On the screen, there was a scene of a formation of landing craft rushing toward the beach under a rain of bullets. The picture composition and The shooting angles are all very well chosen, which shows that the photographer has superb professionalism.

Of course, these pictures were taken afterwards, and the German army did not encounter any enemy resistance on the beach from beginning to end. But ordinary people don't care about this. They want to feel the excitement of war, which makes them feel that they are also involved. They will enthusiastically cheer for the victory of the Wehrmacht and feel proud that they are German.

Then what appeared in the screen was the combat footage of the air force and the navy. Under Xu Jun's guidance, Goebbels planted hundreds of war correspondents in the army, and they recorded countless precious combat images on film. After these actual combat shots have been edited and processed, they are not only used as propaganda materials to inspire the public, but also used as battlefield records in military teaching. It is said that because the pictures are intuitive, they are very helpful to teaching and have been highly praised by several domestic military schools. .

When the news documentary was finished, the staff opened the thick curtains, and the sunlight shone on the beige wool carpet in the room through the crystal clear windows.

"The colors are very bright and the scene is very spectacular. I believe that the people will like it very much when it is broadcast in China." Brausic stood up with his waist. As Xu Jun regained control of the overall situation, he relieved his great Pressure, coupled with the frequent reports of successful front-line warfare, the commander-in-chief of the army is now particularly happy.

"Before the price of color film drops. Most people can only see the black-and-white copy. Goebbels has already noticed this. We are ready to inject funds to study newer manufacturing processes. Expand Agfa’s Film production. I hope that the German soldiers can use cameras to record everything they have experienced." After speaking, Xu Jun raised his head and drank the bottle of Coca-Cola, then put the empty bottle on the low table.

"There is also this kind of soda, which is very popular among frontline soldiers. We are developing new products. This is a very huge market."

The Coca-Cola Company has a medium-sized soda bottling plant in Germany, which uses the puree produced by the American parent company and German materials to produce Coca-Cola. This kind of drink was not very popular in Europe at the time, but it was popular in Germany. There were many fans of this sweet soda among Nazi officials. What is interesting is that this American drink is also in the SS. Very popular.

In history, after the United States declared war with Germany, this Coke factory still maintained normal operation. It cannot be said that the demand of the SS has played a big role in it. What Xu Jun said about the new product being developed is actually a replacement product created in desperation after the cola syrup was exhausted in history. This carbonated beverage, which uses fruit juice instead of syrup, immediately gained popularity. Recognized. Germany named this drink Fanta, and its formula was immediately taken away by the Coca-Cola Company after the war, which shows how successful this drink is.

Brasic doesn't like to drink this strange taste, he still prefers handmade lemonade. The field marshal shrugged, trying to change the subject.

"My head of state, what do you think about the report sent by General Bock from the front."

"Commands are orders, and plans are plans. Of course it is possible to make an immediate decision, but it must never become a normal state." Xu Jun stood up. He took the cap from Tysenhofen, and then began to walk towards the door.

"I also think that Manstein is a bit too impatient, but it is really hard to imagine that we only spent such a short time. We hit the city of London." Brausic followed Xu Jun closely, facing After a dozen or so officers in the room nodded their heads, they walked out of the lounge that was used as a screening room.

The German offensive speed really broke many people's glasses. Who would have thought that the British Empire could be so vulnerable. It took only a week for the Germans to land on the beach until they came to the imperial capital, and the media from all over the world exclaimed. The German Wehrmacht once again created a miracle in world military history.

To be honest, Xu Jun was also a little surprised by the rapid progress of the German army, but he was not too surprised, because there had been precedents for this situation, and London before him was too much like Jinling in 1937.

It can even be said that the situation in the capital of the British Empire at this time is a bit worse than in Jinling. The British did not have hundreds of thousands of infantry to stop the advance of the German army, and there were no rivers and lakes to hinder the operation of the large corps. At the same time, the enemy faced by the British was far more powerful than the Japanese army at that time.

London's geographic location determines her current situation. If the invincible Royal Navy is still there, there is no problem at all. But once the British navy was defeated, London opened its doors. This imperial capital had no strategic depth.

The corps commanded by Bock has already taken control of the Thames Estuary. Some of the troops are moving up the river, and the other is crossing the river and outflanking the northern line along the edge of London's east city. It is estimated that within twenty-four hours, the Bock Corps will be able to join Guderian's assault group to completely complete the blockade of the city.

The British road transportation network played a pivotal role in this battle. Without those railways and roads, it would be difficult for the German army to complete such a large-scale corps movement. Logistical issues alone would enable the staff of the High Command Reduce life span by several years. The panic refugee wave of British civilians helped the Germans a lot. The massive migration of millions of people disrupted the plan of the British cabinet during the war. The destruction and blockade of roads in the south were dead before they even started.

The British National Guard has consumed the last military reserve in the coastal area in vain, the Dover area, the last mobile corps was besieged and annihilated, and it completely cut off the possibility of a comeback by the British. At this time, the strength of the regular army in the British mainland, compared with the landing German army, even the defeat of the enemy could not be guaranteed. The Churchill government has already taken out everything under the box. This tenacious leader is still lucky, thinking that he still has a chance to fight back, but he doesn't know that he has been sold out by his colleagues long ago.

The previous arrangements made by the Eye of Odin began to surface, proving that the golden marks are indeed valuable. Undercurrents are now surging in the city of London, and pro-German public opinion has begun to spread secretly among the citizens. The former hardliners have also died down, and no longer jumped up and down to publish high opinions. Some people began to point their fingers at Churchill and the war cabinet, claiming that the British people were bewitched by these war fanatics. If it hadn't been for the war monger's vigorous advocacy of being an enemy of Germany, how could the British Empire fall into this field? Some discerning people found that the guy who made this argument was desperately touting the policy of the wartime cabinet half a month ago, advocating that he would fight the Germans to the end and never bow his head to the evil dictator. Obviously these unscrupulous guys are using this way to please the invaders and find a way out for themselves.

The Luftwaffe has seized air supremacy in the southern part of the United Kingdom. In fact, the Royal Air Force Fighter Command has existed in name at this time. Although the Royal Air Force still retains a large and large fleet, they are all old and slow bombers and twin engines. Fighters, apart from allowing German pilots to produce more trump cards, have no effect on the war. British fighter aircraft manufacturers are mostly concentrated in the south of the United Kingdom. The most critical component production plants and R&D centers are now in the encirclement of the German army, and the production of British aircraft has been completely stopped.

The Luftwaffe is planning to surrender the remaining troops of the 12th RAF Group, and at the same time, it is beginning to turn its target to the 10th and 13th Fighter Groups. These two fighters are purely used to comfort the people in the German command. The squadron was originally weak. After the defeat of the previous stage of the air battle, the backbone of the team was emptied by Dowding. At this time, only a bunch of empty squadrons were left~IndoMTL.com~There were no German fighters on hand. The number of alliances is large.

However, the Eye of Odin reported that the 10th Flying Squad had 20 newest fighters purchased from the United States, which were just shipped to the United Kingdom two weeks ago and operated by some hired American pilots. After obtaining the intelligence, the Luftwaffe took it very seriously and handed over the task of testing the strength of these opponents to the 51st Fighter Wing.

The 51st Fighter Wing didn't dare to neglect it, so it dispatched a group of fighters directly, and the commander of the team was the Wing Captain Merdes. As a result, it was discovered that this fighter, called the Tomahawk by the British, was not an opponent of the German 109 at all. On the same day, Moulders had four shot down records alone.

In the flight report, the super ace said very tactfully, judging from the performance of this American aircraft in air combat, it is obvious that the British were pitted by the Americans. Xu Jun abridged Moulders' report and forwarded it to the French side. Petain couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat after reading it, knowing that these parallel imports were originally sold to them.
