It seems that there is an unwritten rule in the German general headquarters: when fighting with the wind, use armored forces to fight, use good steel on the blade, and invade like fire once entering three thousand li; In the most difficult and vicious battle, the Grenadier is on the top. It's dirty, tired and subdued, but it's made of blood. The grenadiers, like Napoleon's guards in those days, were not good-looking, but they had a tendency to swallow the sky.
Unlike the German army in another time and space, akkado made the German industrial system full of power early in this time and space, and discovered Augustus, the "first assistant" in the world, in the hand of jellin Nike? Kasiya, Speer and others are first-class industrial integration wizards, so the family background of German grenadiers is much stronger than that of their counterparts.
With one assault gun after another moving slowly along the road, the first Infantry Division under the first mechanized army of a group army is the most elite infantry division in Germany. These dusty German soldiers can be said to be the pride of the whole German army.
Compared with the SS, who cry "long live the head of state" as soon as they start fighting, and whose fighting capacity is beyond imagination, but whose losses are astonishing, the troops of the national defense force look much smarter. If the battle of the SS relies on its loyalty to the head of state akado, the battle of the national defense forces relies on the "technology" integrated into their bone marrow.
These German grenadiers are brave and tenacious to the extreme. They are proud to fight the hardest and most unpromising battles. They are delighted to be the most reliable troops of the German head of state.
However, the British counterattack in recent days has really puzzled these German soldiers. Compared with the previous counterattack in Norwich, the British resistance or counterattack can be described as weak. The momentum of fighting for every inch of land has disappeared and replaced by the weakness of thousands of miles.
After randstadt won Cambridge, he let the German army defend in place and wait for the British to fight back. As a result, the British did not have the courage to take back Cambridge from the German army for a whole afternoon, and the German a group army also ushered in a short but valuable rest period.
They also sorted out the British materials seized these days. Compared with Montgomery's steady attack, Goth's forced attack actually sold a huge flaw to randstadt himself, and the commander of group a army, whom akkado liked, obviously belonged to the kind of "ruthless role" with real talent. He seized the loophole of British forced counterattack and ate the effective strength of British troops at one go.
In addition, he used rapid assault to cooperate with the beheading operation of special forces and the rear destruction, and seized more than half of the rear supplies that Montgomery had not lost on a large scale. These materials include a small amount of grain stored near Norwich, as well as oil and ammunition, and even some airports, as well as the railways and roads that the British themselves repaired too late. It can be said that the British army after Montgomery's departure was almost half of the German logistics and transportation brigade.
The loss of these materials also made the distribution of materials in London even more difficult, which resulted in the current situation of no troops to fight back. It's not that the British don't want to fight back, but they can't fight back at all. It is just like Germany in 1945. It can only wait passively for the Allied forces to attack, and can not take any effective means to counterattack.
Britain has hundreds of thousands of troops, but it has to defend a larger area of land. In order to prevent the German army from crossing the north of us, 100000 troops in the direction of Peterborough could not move at all, and 50000 troops in the direction of Bedford could not move in order to prevent the German army from moving westward. Tens of thousands of coastal defense troops will be deployed along the long coastline, and at least 100000 troops will be deployed in London to meet the German army. At this stage, the British army is not only seriously deficient in the quality of its troops, but also in the quantity of its troops.
Now, let alone Churchill, the British prime minister who should have been deposed by his majesty, even the king does not believe in such nonsense as driving the German army out of the sea. Whether the British can keep London or not seems to have become a question. The plan to mobilize the people to burn their precious stones has made the whole London panic. Now the British royal family has cancelled all the public speaking tours for fear that some British people will throw their grenades on the stage.
India's colonies are ready to move. Japan is eyeing Hong Kong. Australia is eyeing the United States in order to get rid of British control. Even the Mediterranean region in North Africa, which has always been regarded as the lifeblood of Britain, is at war. Now Britain has to look after its only quiet and honest colony, Canada.
Of course, Britain's westward migration to Canada is actually against the scale of the United States. As the only advantaged country in North America, the United States can not allow Britain to continue its rule in Canada. Therefore, the British side has been discussing with the United States about the British royal family's Westward Journey to Canada. Even the interests of Asia have been given to the United States, and they have turned a blind eye to Australia.
As far as the United States is concerned, Germany's unification of Europe is just one more competitor, but Britain's Westward Journey to Canada is ready to sleep on the couch of the United States. So Roosevelt did not let go this time. He made a speech in public, hoping that Britain could fight the German army to the end at home.
However, after all, a bloody battle can only be fought with "blood". Britain's maritime transport line can barely meet the air battle cost and its own normal survival. Now it has been converted into a large-scale land battle, and the terrible cost will make the fragile transport line collapse completely. Dunnitz is the last trump card of the German Navy. President Roosevelt of the United States has already judged this matter, but this American president will not say it, while British Prime Minister Churchill dare not say it - the total number of ships sunk by German submarines in the short half month from February 14 to March 1, Even Churchill, who was determined to grit his teeth to the last moment, saw it and felt it whirling. Without the grain on the plain, some strategic materials of the front-line army and all the elite troops, the British government now has nothing left to affect the overall situation of the German invasion. Moreover, as the German army's southward offensive became more and more sharp, the whole front became closer and closer to the southern part of England, and German bombers could take off more frequently from Dunkirk to support the German army in England. With more and more front-line airports controlled by the German army, the support of the German Air Force has become more and more timely. The 100 hurricane fighters that have been hard to accumulate are not lost in the battle of intercepting the butcher strategic bombers, but are slowly consumed in the air battle with the German ace pilots flying the fw-190d fighters from the British mainland. The American promise to the British is very simple, that is, as long as London can hold on for three months, American strategic materials will continue to be transported to Britain, countless fighters and tanks will help Britain submerge 300000 or even 500000 German troops at home, and Britain will finally win the war against Germany. However, even the most optimistic Churchill was not sure that he would keep London for three months. He did not even know whether Britain would win the war if it was a ruin and if it was an American colony. What scares the British royal family and Churchill himself most is not the more and more hundreds of thousands of German landing troops, but the two louder and louder voices in the north. Ireland is leaving behind the royal family in the north of Britain and the Churchill government, trying to get in touch with the Scottish authorities in the northern mountains, ready to share the British mainland with Germany. In fact, the German head of state is throwing an olive branch at Scotland in the north of the UK, claiming that he is willing to rule the UK together with the British and Irish who are "aware of current affairs". The future UK will be divided into three parts: Ireland, Scottish Britain and German controlled Southern Britain. The New Britain and Ireland will be important parts of Germany's "European steel axis". Although the German head of state did not offer many baits, the military advantage that he really gained under the muzzle of the German grenadiers and the tracks of the German armored forces was more convincing than the pale assurance of the United States. These people are also waiting for the moment when the German soldiers enter London, that is, when they step out of the background and come to the front desk. Like the Vichy government of France, they are ready to bet on both sides for their future. These are the people who really want the life of the British royal family and Churchill. Once they stand up, they will divide the British colony and make the whole British Empire a mess. Although they can't help in the German camp, they can actually harm Britain and make Britain spit out its last blood. These people are the scum Churchill hated more than the German head of state. Now some of the people in power in Britain are beginning to regret that they did not shake hands with Germany immediately after Dunkirk's tragic defeat. They regret that they let the British Royal Navy take part in the war and lost the advantage of the local fleet. But at this time, no one dares to be the first to veto the Royal King's decision, and no one dares to challenge Prime Minister Churchill, who is not far away from death. They were all waiting, waiting for the moment when the German army occupied London. But now Churchill and His Majesty the king of England are not in the mood to take care of these ideas. They are risking the risk of turning over to the United States and sending an elite division to Canada to Montgomery, who has just established a foothold there. They are helping to dispatch the remaining Royal Navy to organize an attack on Denmark's Iceland, Send 30000 British troops there to make their final bet.
