. The Third Reich under Ten Thousand Characters  Volume 5: Battle of Britain  Chapter 13: Honor and Loyalty (II)

After the annexation of the three Baltic countries by the Soviet Union, Tvia was immediately started to implement the policy of complete occupation. The so-called complete occupation policy is to use high-pressure policies to clean up the domestic organizations that are still resisting, and quickly establish a government that tends toward the Soviet Union and obeys the Soviet Union.

Before World War II began, the Soviet Union had already begun to plan the annexation of the three Baltic countries, but the policy of the Third Reich at that time hindered the Soviet Union's annexation, forcing the Soviet Union to turn its attention to Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and other southern European countries. Later, the Third Reich launched a war against Poland, and Germany and the Soviet Union had a secret agreement, which allowed the Soviet Union to own Poland's eastern territory at a very small cost.

At that time, the Third Reich adopted a policy to win over the Baltic Three Kingdoms so that they could exist as a buffer zone between Germany and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union also seemed to feel that there should be a buffer zone, so it temporarily gave up its plan to invade the Baltic Three Kingdoms. Later, under the name of establishing an Eastern Front, the Soviet Union regained the ** of occupying the Baltic Three Kingdoms under the instigation of the British Ambassador to Moscow.

The reason why the Soviet Union ignored the strong protests of the Third Reich of Germany and occupied the three Baltic Kingdoms by force was very simple. First, the existence of the Three Baltic Kingdoms hindered the Soviet Union's military use against Finland. Second, Britain believed that it was necessary to have a large number of consecutive territories between the Soviet Union and the Third Reich of Germany, which in turn caused a large number of military frictions between Germany and the Soviet Union, causing the two countries to confront each other. Third, the policy changes of the Third Reich Kingdom turned to win over the Three Baltic Kingdoms. Secretly aiding Finland made the Soviet Union feel a real military threat.

Germany was not surprised by the Soviet Union's occupation of the Baltic Three Kingdoms. This was the inevitability of military expansion and gave the Third Reich the excuse to establish a line of defense and dispatch more troops to the East.

Before the Soviet Union invaded the Three Baltic Kingdoms, the Supreme German Command had already formulated a military plan code-named Barbarossa. In the plan, the Three Baltic Kingdoms must be occupied by the Soviet Union, giving the Third German Empire an excuse to increase troops. On the other hand, the Soviet Union's invasion of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania could also create the illusion that the Third German Empire was pulled to the east and do foggy work for the future landing in Britain.

Until the news came back to Berlin, the defense forces on the French front had completely broken through Weigang's defense line, and the troops were directed at Paris, the former capital of France.

Clesco's armored cluster advanced to Effler and was ready to attack Lisse, a major French town in western France at any time.

The Hot armored cluster advanced to Laon in the eastern part of France and fought against the small army in eastern France at the frontier of Reims.

The headquarters of the A-Group Group of Longdestedt, the 12th Army occupied Rouen, and the B-Group Group of Bock, the 18th Army occupied the important avant-garde town of Paris, Beauvais.

The headquarters of the C-group of Loeb's Army Group, the motorized division under the 1st Army of Elwin von Witz Leben bypassed Belgium and launched an attack on the French city of Mezier, the lower reaches of the Meuse River.

The 15th Army assembled in Azbrook, and after the rest, he arrived at Saint-Continent on Marching in the direction of Aras. On June 5, the 16th Army, which met Ernstbusch, launched the first wave of attack on Mo, an important city in eastern Paris.

And what is Xu Yang, who is in Berlin, doing now?

Manstein returned to Berlin on the day after the investigation was completed, and he personally observed the coastline of the northern French district and made a report. In the report, Manstein assumed that even if the British army counterattacked in the future, the most likely landing zones were Calais and Normandy districts, and suggested establishing a complete beachhead in these two districts.

Of course, these are just guarding against them. Most of the British troops have been ruined in France. I personally know that Britain is not able to counterattack now.

"We should be prepared for both hands! In the future Western European battlefields, we cannot blindly adopt defensive or offensive postures."

"At present, a rash landing in Britain will inevitably suffer significant losses, and the British navy has not yet lost its combat effectiveness. The radar problem on the coast of Britain has not been truly solved. At present, using the Air Force Destruction System, destroying the British military factories is the most realistic combat plan."

Xu Yang turned around and looked at Air Force Chief Keselin, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

"Most of the air bases in local areas of northern France have been built. Henkel strategic bombers have entered the bases in northern France. The primary combat goal of the Air Force is..."

Xu Yang pointed the baton at the British coast.

"Dayalamus, Dover, Brighton, Portsmouth."

"The agents lurking in Britain sent back intelligence. The British authorities have set up many hidden detection radars along the coast of Dover. The Kether William Institute has provided things to deal with radars. After experiments, it has been proved that tin foil strips can interfere with the radar band, but the effect is limited. At present, the Kether William Institute and major aircraft manufacturers are conducting the next step of research, intending to start from the fuselage shell and line design, and try to study shells that can avoid radar exploration. Of course, I personally will not place my hope on the new fighter jets that are still under research."

The generals laughed, and Kesseling laughed the happiest. The first benefit of the development and improvement of the industry was his air force. Some new types of combat aircraft have been tested, such as the Donier series interceptors, Messerschmid series fighter jets, Juncker series short-range bombers, and Henkel series long-range bombers. Recently, a number of new fighter jets joined Kesseling had been worried about the Battle of Britain. At that time, due to the range of aircraft, the German air force could not conduct in-depth extended bombing of Britain, and even the defense of the local area had been stopped in the English Channel. The emergence of the Donier series solved a series of problems, and this series of aircraft solved the range problem and ensured the safety of strategic bombers.

On the other hand, the guarantee of the SS rocket launcher stationed in Calais Newport also made Kesseling smile. In the plan, before the strategic bombing began, the SS will first attack the exposed radar on the British coast, and then the Air Force will carry out a second wave of strikes, trying its best to paralyze or completely destroy the British radar system.

Of course, the premise is that the secret service union lurking in the UK cooperates with all its strength. There are radar stations on some other parties that do not blow up the facilities outside, and the core hardware that supports the operation of the radar system.

Fridge was also at the meeting site. He has not made any speech yet. Most of the time, he always whispered to some defense generals, laughing from time to time, showing an indifferent attitude.

Sitting next to Fridge is William von Keitel.

William von Keitel seemed to be disgusted with Fridge's attitude, and frowned from time to time and turned his head to stare. He participated in the combat plan of Germany's invasion of Norway and Denmark throughout the whole process, and was highly valued by Blauchic. He is currently the supreme figure of the National Defense Forces and one of the main planners of the Sea Lion Project.

Now, Xu Yang explained the first phase of the Sea Lion Plan in front of the podium. The part he talked about was the air supremacy competition plan, which was a combat plan that had been determined and about to be implemented. What Xu Yang was doing was to prepare for the final stage. The targets marked on the huge military map were rigorously verified before and after. There were also detailed records of multiple areas, and 1, 2, and 3 different colors were divided into signs. Each military code represented a British aviation force or a British air force base.

According to reliable information, the UK currently has only more than 700 fighter jets that can be used to defend the local area, and its local air defense facilities are not perfect, and only a small number of anti-aircraft artillery is deployed between various industrial areas. In terms of the army, the UK has lost a large number of elite troops in France, and the troops stationed in the UK are all reserves and have no combat effectiveness. After incomplete statistics, the British local armored combat vehicles do not exceed the number of old-fashioned tanks.

As the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Erich Redell was also at the meeting. He replaced Xu Yang and walked to the podium. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he glared fiercely and was still whispering in a low voice, and then made a speech.

Erich Redel reported the process of blocking the British mainland. Most of the German Army occupied the coast of the Western European continent, and with the cooperation of Spain, it cut off the ties between western France and the British mainland. The German Navy also severely damaged the British local fleet in the Navy Battle of Tashiwukou. Except for the Navy Department that had not been able to completely block the Atlantic Ocean under the interference of the United States, a large part of the sea control in the North Sea has been in the hands of the German Navy.

Erich Reedel suggested increasing military operations of submarine forces in the Atlantic Ocean and launching a destruction war, completely cutting off the supplies of British mainland. On the other hand, Erich Reedel also suggested establishing alliances with Spain and Portugal as soon as possible, sending fleets to the ports of Spain and Portugal, and thus enhancing the German Navy's local power in the Atlantic Ocean. Send air force troops to Spain and Portugal, increase the coordinated combat between the navy and the air force, use the aircraft's long-range strike capabilities to increase the efforts of blockades.

Keseling certainly had no objection.
