Volume 5: The Battle of Britain Chapter 95: Day of the Landing (1)

. "Salute to you, my head of state!"

The soldiers in gray-green military uniforms were arranged in neat square formations, and more than 10,000 National Defense Army soldiers stood tall and raised their heads high, with their firm faces full of the highest respect.

On the right side of the Wehrmacht are 20,000 armed SS soldiers in black uniforms. Compared with the excitement of the Wehrmacht soldiers, these SS soldiers can only use the word "fanity" to describe their current posture.

For the armed SS, the will of the head of state is the direction they act for, and the needs of the head of state are what they must do. In the oath, the SS had long dedicated their lives and even their souls to the supreme head of state, even God had to stand aside.

Without exception, all the soldiers watched Kahn von Stark standing on the high platform, unwilling to give up any action of capturing the head of state.

This is Paris, located in the Star Square. In fact, this square is often changed in name. At almost every historical stage, it will be removed from the old name by the ruler and replaced with a new name. The square was built in 1892 and completed in 1899. As mentioned earlier, the square was often changed in name. In the victory of World War I, the rulers at that time changed the square to the Victory Square, and now the rulers have changed it again. The Third Reich called it "Petta Square".

Are you going out of the star square? There is no doubt that it is extremely famous in Europe. Of course, it is not because of its proximity to the **enuedeschampsellysees. In fact, the "fairy scenery in myth" is famous because of it. What the hell is the "fairy scenery in myth"? Ha! Whites who lack language talent use it to describe stories in Greek mythology. In fact, its name is the Champs Elysees.

Arc de Triomphe is in the center of the star square. This building built by Napoleon to commemorate the "Victory of the Austerlitz War" has ushered in many military parades. Former French rulers loved to show off French forces in this place, especially after World War I. The number of military parades held by fragile France here is shocking. Their military parades were not to inspect the troops, but to use superficial power to deter potential enemies with insecurity. Unfortunately, the intention was not realized at all, and no matter how many military parades were, the Germans in the world could not be afraid of the enemy.

After the fall of Paris, the armed forces of the Third Reich of Germany had conducted a simple march at the Arc de Triomphe. Note that it was not a military parade, but a passing by when the armed forces occupying Paris entered the city.

This time, in order to attract the attention of the intelligence departments of the allied countries, although the aviation forces continued to bomb the British Isles vigorously, Xu Yang reached a special plane to visit the troops and chose to hold a grand military parade here.

His appearance is extremely meaningful. On the one hand, it encourages the morale of the army, and on the other hand, it sends a signal that the Third Reich of Germany no longer wants to waste time on Britain!

The designation of the "Sea Lion Plan" by the Third German Empire is not a secret for the omnipresent British intelligence agencies. The British just don't know the core of the plan, but it is enough for the British to know one thing. The Third German Empire did not give up the killing of Britain. It will definitely carry out the landing 41 years ago. It will be implemented on which day it will be implemented, where it will be landed, the composition of the participating troops, the total number of troops, etc. The British cannot obtain relevant information, so they can only make speculations.

In fact, there were differences within Germany on whether to land on the British Isles. They did not oppose continuing to attack the British Isles, but suspected that they had lost their suddenness. Whether Germany could land on the UK with minor losses, and after successfully logging in, how should the troops be sent to intercepted by the Allied Navy.

In the eyes of opponents, Britain is an island, but not an island in the usual sense, but more like a continent. The Allied forces had sufficient strategic depth on it. Although the Allied forces, especially the British, suffered heavy losses on the battlefield in the early stage, it can be imagined that the British still had a considerable number of garrison troops on the local area.

Judging from various information and phenomena, Britain still has a complete industrial system in its local area, which can ensure a large amount of consumption during the war, which can be seen from the two months of bombing of the British and sufficient ammunition to counterattack by the Deutsche Air Force.

Germany's plan to combat against Britain is not difficult to guess, but it is just something superficial.

Except for a limited number of people, everyone only saw that Germany had only started to collect relevant ships in May, and the tonnage was only less than 70,000 after statistics. Moreover, those ships were not landing ships and basically did not have the ability to seize the beach. They could only play a role after landing troops seized at least one port.

Everyone knows that entering directly from the sea and seizing a port where the enemy is closely guarded is even theoretically a fantasy. Although artificial ports can be built technically, Germany obviously does not have theoretical help in this regard. Apart from the disproportionate battle in Norway, the army also has no practical experience in this regard.

They believed that after several waves of troops landed, the troops could only rely on barges and motorboats. According to the fact that each barge carries one platoon and each motorboat carries one squad, this fleet can transport about 100,000 infantry carrying only light weapons to land at one time, and German Express delivered. The combat effectiveness of the troops does not only depend on the number of people, one division has 20,000 people, which does not mean that 100,000 people is equal to 5 divisions. A fully equipped division, in addition to infantry, also has artillery units, armored troops, engineering troops, air defense troops, logistics troops and other units. They deeply doubt Germany's delivery capabilities.

"I really can't guess how infantrymen without heavy weapons should snatch the beach. Well, suppose that if infantry successfully landed in an area without people, how much combat power can they have if only rifles, grenades, bazooka, mortar and other weapons?"

"Some people say that German soldiers are made of steel, and I don't object to this description. The question is, how many people will we lose during the beach landing?"

"The weather in the English Channel is very bad, and no one is sure whether the clear sky today will turn into a storm tomorrow."

The above sentence is basically correct. The weather in the English Channel has been very bad. The Third Reich of Germany should have landed immediately after France surrendered, but there was no good weather in the English Channel during that period. The landing plan was immediately ill, and most generals didn't even know that the plan had been brought up and was about to be implemented.

At the same time, Britain is not fighting alone. After France's defeat, there will be puppet countries such as Australia and New Zealand. The most worrying thing is that the United States has the possibility of participating in the war at any time, and the possibility is not low.

Due to the long-term victory, the constituents seemed to be very disdainful of the dissenters' remarks, and they believed that the British were exhausted and that the British resistance would not be fierce under the mood of failure, and that Germany could completely seize the British land as quickly as it would defeat France.

The Third German Empire had been preparing for landing on the British Isles for a long time. Even before the war broke out, the Armed Forces and Logistics Department had already prepared the relevant equipment and ships for landing. As for soldiers, does Germany still lack soldiers who are good at fighting? It can be said that what Germany currently lacks the most is soldiers who dare to fight and can fight!

However, many people still have doubts. They believe that despite so much preparation, it is still impossible for them to land in Britain without suffering serious losses. They came to a conclusion from the previous war that the suddenness of the German armed forces in both Poland and France was an important factor in the previous war. However, this time there seemed to be no suddenness. After all, the British were not blind, and they could see that the Axis powers were bound to be in a position.

Opponents also came up with a factual basis, that is, the weak power of the Axis powers at sea.

There are many kinds of arguments, and they have various opinions, hoping to attract the attention of the government, but the facts show that the government's attention is not on this aspect. The senior officials who exercise power look coldly at all kinds of people talking, and do not speak out about it.

Heidrich once said privately: "There may be patriots among those who are high-profile or have a hiding head and tail, but more of them are probably the characters who jump out to be clowns under the instigation of lurking British agents."

No one denies the strength of the British intelligence service. After all, the UK has made countless arrangements in countries on the European continent. It is impossible for the German will completely remove it in just a few years.

Compared with the various high-profile talks of people, the General Staff has been constantly deducing and improving them. The recent fierce bombings were not originally available in the "Sea Lion Plan". The improvement of the plan changed the alms, and five days of high-intensity bombing began. In intelligence work, in order to achieve the purpose of deceiving the allies, the number of areas originally planned to be used to confuse the allies was increased to four, and at the same time, the French civilians who originally lived in those areas were completely relocated, making the secret more secure.

Xu Yang did not stop for a long time after the military parade. With various eyes, he boarded the train to Normandy.

Under deliberate guidance and confusion, the report meeting placed on Churchill's desk the next day pointed out that the head of the Third Reich of Germany arrived in France and mentioned November 20 many times in conversations with many generals in Paris.
