Chapter 664： Whimsical

Plymouth is a British naval base and port city.

It is located in the center of Plymouth Bay in southwest England, between the Plim and Tamar Rivers, and is facing the English Channel. As early as 1690, the naval shipyard was built here. Meanwhile, Devonport in the south is an important port for the British Navy.

How can such an important military port be a place for landing? Even looking for a beach to land on is better than here!

However, everyone has a kind of worship of Cyric, and no matter what weird idea Cyric puts forward, they will implement it without hesitation.

Like now.

After the initial surprise passed, Marshal Keitel, who was the host, began to analyze. Since he was promoted to Marshal, he has worked harder.

“It’s not easy to land at the Plymouth Naval Port. Here, there are at least 30,000 British troops stationed. According to our previous calculations, in the landing operations, the defenders have the advantage. We must have at least a ten to one ratio. , It is possible to win."

When the German navy landed in Brest, France, it was a surprise, but it was just a surprise. The other side had no defense, and it was different to land in the British military port.

"From the perspective of our current capabilities, at most one Marine Division can be projected at a time." Keitel said: "Even if the airborne troops are added, the troops that can be projected at a time will not exceed 30,000. This is The ratio of one to one is definitely a dangerous ratio in landing operations."

Even though the shipyard is running full power, it is impossible to build a ship all at once. Even if it is to integrate the French shipbuilding enterprises, it will take time. Now, this is the embarrassing time.

The projecting ability is simply insufficient. If you count ordinary merchant ships, that's a lot. However, for the first shock wave, it must be a special landing ship.

Not enough, not enough at all.

"If we can't accumulate more power, why don't we want to weaken the strength of the British?" Cyric said: "We made a fake move to make the British think that we were going to land at Dover, then the British What should I do?"

Unlike in history, the British expeditionary forces have already surrendered to Germany! Before Britain was able to pay the ransom, these prisoners of war were sent to Speer. The German-controlled mines lacked sufficient labor.

Therefore, the current military strength in the United Kingdom is very poor. Although they claim to have millions of troops, the real team is still about 200,000 troops stationed in the mainland, and the rest are just recruited boy scouts. That's it.

Therefore, if it can be determined that the German landing site is Dover, then the British will have to move from other places, such as Plymouth, in order to strengthen the defense there. There is no need to maintain the scale of 30,000 people. If there are more than 10,000 people, enough.

Cyric gradually opened up their minds. If this is the case, you can think about putting on a menacing posture and letting the British be fooled. The mobility of the British army is very poor. In this way, when you are attacking in Plymouth At the time, the other party simply couldn't be mobilized!

It can be said that the important task of the first batch of landing troops is to hold on to their positions and persist until the arrival of the second batch of troops. By directly occupying the port, loading and unloading goods will be more convenient, and the attack will be faster and more effective.

Another advantage of choosing Plymouth is that you don’t have to worry about those mines!

As an important port in the UK, mines will not be set up near Plymouth. After all, the British cannot seal themselves up.

Following Cyric's proposal, the scene became active again, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, even the army officers.

"I think we should deploy a large number of suspects in Calais and other places, and even send out once or twice to stimulate the British, so that the news that we intend to land in Dover is more reliable." Manstein said.

Cross service! What did the army say about the navy! Hearing this, Raidel frowned.

Navy, not enough! To take into account the Atlantic, but also to take into account this landing, how much power can the navy have? If the suspects were to be deployed on the front line of Calais, they would not have that much power at hand.

"This time, landing in the UK, we are also helping the French to avenge." Cyric said very broadly: "This time we landed across the sea, France can't be idle. Well, I suggest that we should organize a team. French volunteers, cross the strait with us."

Foreign support soldiers! Cyric had long thought about this plan.

With the continuous progress of the war and the continuous expansion of the territory, Germany will definitely face the problem of soldiers. How to solve this problem? Of course it's looking for foreign volunteers!

The spineless French surrendered and the French army was disbanded. At this time, those soldiers who are used to rifles must be willing to return to the army. Give them this opportunity!

Assemble a force of Frenchmen, and then go to England! Just think about it and you will know how pleasing it is!

Is it impossible? of course not! Now that the British navy opened fire on the French navy, the two sides are no longer friends, but enemies!

In Dunkirk, the British betrayed their French allies. In North Africa, the British opened fire on France again. This is **** revenge!

Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard the French volunteer teacher. Yes, this is indeed a way! And, in this case, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com's news about his landing in Dover is easier to reach the ears of the British!

Therefore, the general policy is set in this way, and the detailed plan will naturally be completed by subordinates.

The landing location is just one aspect. How the various arms cooperate and how to quickly seize air supremacy once the battle has started are all very important. Germany already has a wealth of experience, and of course Cyric does not need to do everything by himself.

And Cyric just took advantage of the work these days to check how the integration of French industry is going.

France is the fifth largest industrial country in the world. Moreover, due to the rapid progress of the French war, French industry has hardly suffered any losses. Now, the industrial areas in the north have been directly occupied by Germany. , These industries are all taken over by Germany.

The German rioters began here! The main force is fully mechanized, dumplings are placed on various warships, and the production of aircraft is expanded. It is completely inseparable from French industry!

As the Minister of Military Supplies in charge of production in Germany, Speer has been staying in France during this period.
