"The Germans will bomb us. They will not be able to cross the Strait blocked by the Royal Navy. Air combat is the most convenient and fast way to win.
they will try their best to attack our confidence. However, the British people will never compromise, never surrender, never..."
At the joint meeting of British chief of staff, the British side made prediction and preventive discussion on the upcoming war.
After the meeting, the wartime cabinet approved the war plan to effectively strengthen various defense measures.
First of all, the war cabinet established the aircraft manufacturing department, with beaver as the minister, and vigorously strengthened the manufacturing speed and model proportion of aircraft.
With the integration of the production capacity of the aircraft manufacturing department, the monthly production of British aircraft has rapidly increased from 700 to 1000, and this is not the final figure.
At the same time, we will adjust and deploy air defense forces throughout the country, focus on strengthening air defense capabilities in London, and establish combat training forces.
Under the authorization of the cabinet, a number of training schools will be set up throughout the country to seize every opportunity to train air and ground crew.
According to the military's estimate, it will be able to add 200 pilots a month to the force.
As for how much power these pilots can play in wartime, it is up to the facts to verify. Now they have no time to worry about these problems.
At the same time, the British side also signed a large number of overseas orders, including aircraft, ships, all kinds of weapons, missiles, ammunition and supplies.
The power of the British colonies is also in the process of mobilization. Canada, which is the nearest, is preparing for the war. Various industries have developed rapidly from scratch.
Orders to the United States account for 30% of British overseas orders, which is a big business.
Companies from all over the United States are about to fight for these orders.
The closer to the war, the busier the cruise lines and planes between the United States and London became.
However, the danger is not small, almost every week you can see the news of cruise ship and plane crash in the newspaper.
The CGT newly sold to the British side has also been incorporated by the Ministry of Navy, and has become an important production plant for ship manufacturing.
However, all these have nothing to do with Li Zitao.
After handing over the CGT and arms to the British side, he began to receive his own "reward". Naturally, Windsor Castle is the most popular one.
Even in the time of war, the news has sparked large-scale debate in places such as Britain and Europe.
Fortunately, the announcement was handed over to the Grand Duke of Luxemburg. Otherwise, Li Zitao might be torn to pieces by the angry British citizens, and he would never return safely.
When Gulfstream one took off from Britain and returned to the United States under the escort of four "lightning", all those who knew about his trip were relieved.
"Dear." As soon as he got off the plane, Li Zitao was held by Mary.
She was the most worried about during the trip. If it was not too important, she would never allow Li Zitao to take risks in person.
Now there will be battles every day in the sky, and the planes of Germany, France and Britain come and go in and out without fear.
Once they encounter non domestic aircraft, they will not hesitate to fire.
In order to avoid danger, Li Zitao's crew made a special trip to bypass the areas where the war was most frequent, and returned to the United States safely.
"Don't worry, no matter who you are, don't want to take me away from you. God is shining on me..." Li Zitao jokingly pointed to the sky, let Mary turn worry to smile.
"The French are fighting, they can't last long. The good news is that mother finally decided to leave and go to London to preside over national affairs."
Hearing that his mother-in-law was leaving early, Li Zitao was happy for Mary, including himself.
After all, seeing his wife worried every day, his life is not very easy.
Li also has a general understanding of the French infighting. They talked about it during their second brief meeting with Churchill before leaving.
As the Deputy Secretary of state of the Ministry of defense and war and the representative responsible for coordinating the French and British military operations, de Gaulle met frequently with Churchill in recent days.
He wanted to persuade Churchill's government to continue to send more troops to France, including ground forces and air forces.
In particular, after learning the fact that the British had received a large number of new aircraft, de Gaulle's request for British support was even more urgent.
However, these were rejected by Churchill.
"We urgently need a victory to break people's fear of FXS. The French battlefield has been reduced to a quagmire,
with Britain's existing strength, it will only be dragged into the mire and dragged down. We can't take such risks any more."
Churchill's fears were justified. The German army had opened the way to Paris and controlled the traffic around.
The defeat of the French is a foregone conclusion. Now Churchill's only hope for them is to stay longer and create more preparation time for Britain.Moreover, within the French government, the demand for peace talks is getting louder and louder, and the French are no longer in the mood to fight any more.
On June 14, the third day after Li Zitao returned to the United States, the German army officially entered Paris.
However, at this time, Italy, which had declared war on France for only four days, came a piece of news that was neither funny nor ironic.
Mussolini, who saw the German defeat France easily, also wanted to take part in the war.
Ten days later, the French government announced the war.
During this period, Germany had already won an overwhelming victory and began to support the establishment of a new government by the peace negotiation faction led by Bertrand.
With Germany's support, Italy naturally got a share of the benefit, and France was willing to give part of the border to Italy unconditionally.
However, Mussolini was not satisfied with this. When the bedang government was so busy that it could not fulfill its promise, Mussolini launched a brazen attack on France.
The 325000 Italian troops stationed on standby at the border advanced to France and launched an attack.
In Mussolini's opinion, his troops could easily defeat each other.
But in fact, the "little magino line" garrisoned by the Alps division, the most elite French army, gave Italy a big surprise.
The 325000 troops, which lacked heavy firepower, could not break through the defense line at all. On the contrary, they were violently counterattacked by the French army, causing thousands of casualties and fleeing in confusion.
This incident has aroused great international repercussions and public opinion, making Mussolini and the Italian army a laughing stock.
There is even a joke that "if Italy is neutral, Germany will have 10 more divisions. If Italy joins the alliance, Germany will have 20 more divisions. If Italy goes to the battlefield, Germany will send 50 divisions to protect them.".
