Imperial Overlord

Hearing Manstein say this, Guderian, who was concentrating on the construction of the armored force, suddenly felt a chill behind him.

After all, he started out with the theory of armored force assault. If this tactic soon became outdated or suppressed by the enemy, then the new tactics he devoted his life to researching would be useless.

So he looked at Manstein embarrassedly and asked, "So, in the face of the enhancement of infantry's anti-tank capabilities, do you have any good solutions?"

In fact, he is also a fan of the authorities. After all, his feelings for the German armored forces are too deep, and he has devoted too much effort.

Otherwise, he would not be called the father of German armored forces by later generations. And his tactical thinking, even until the Cold War, still had an impact on the armored operations of the large corps.

Manstein laughed when he heard Guderian ask. He patted Guderian on the shoulder and replied, "You are too concerned about this matter to see a solution."

Having said this, Manstein put away his smile and continued to answer: "Actually, our Führer has already given his countermeasures, but what he proposed was too advanced, and it didn't match the time for this kind of change. "

The advanced countermeasure he said was Li Le's order to strengthen the front armor of the existing No. 4 tank and develop a new type of tank with thicker armor.

Li Le, the fake head of state, or a fake tactical genius, did not rely on Guderian and Manstein's foresight and intuition about the transformation of the battlefield.

The reason why this false head of state can put forward his own opinions is that he relies on one independent model after another, which has already happened in later generations!

Therefore, compared with Manstein and Guderian, who can see the problem from the derivation in front of him, he does not need an analysis and conversion process in the middle.

It is precisely because of this that the improvement plans proposed by Li Le are often independent and confusing advance requirements.

But as Li Le proposed more and more improvements, the connections between these improvements became more and more.

This is like an artist, if he wants to draw a beautiful picture, he must lay out a little bit of foreshadowing in a sequence.

In this process, you can quickly see what he is drawing, because the general outline is the law that he must follow, which is in line with human thinking and common sense.

And Li Le, because of his advanced knowledge, ignores the process of intermediate derivation, and is more like a fast computing computer: because he does not need to analyze, the time is shortened infinitely, far more than one second can calculate billions of times supercomputer.

Therefore, when he draws a picture, he does not draw according to composition and common sense, but uses pixels that have been set in the future to "point".

At the beginning, these pixels can't be seen at all, but when these pixels become more and more dense, the picture scroll is born.

Therefore, when Manstein saw the forward-looking vision of the Führer to strengthen the tank armor from the reinforcement of infantry anti-tank firepower, he immediately "stunned" the Führer.

Likewise, Guderian now realizes that he was wrong in dividing tanks into fast tanks and infantry support tanks.

In the face of more and more threats to the future tanks, the exchange of light armor for speed is starting to become more than the loss.

Because of this, the head of state strengthened the armor of the tank in advance and ordered the development of a "main battle tank" with more general performance, which immediately became far-sighted under the premise of increasing the firepower of the infantry.

"My God! How could the Führer understand tank tactics so well?" Guderian was taken aback and said to himself subconsciously.

Manstein immediately found the answer for him according to his own imagination: "You ask me? Didn't the Führer take a fancy to your tank and have the armored force's glorious victory today?"

"You're right!" Guderian nodded in agreement immediately: "The Führer is a tactical genius! A true genius!"

This time it was Manstein's turn to nod in agreement: "Yes! The Führer is indeed very insightful in the study of weapons and tactics, and what is even more amazing is that he is also very proficient in strategy."

"Why do you say that?" Hearing what the other party said, Guderian knew that there was something else to gossip about.

Manstein also had a very gossip heart. Hearing Guderian ask this question, he replied: "I heard it from Marshal Brauchitch."

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued: "The matter of the "Sea Lion Project" seems to have been kept silent by the Head of State at the recent combat meetings."

The original sea lion plan was not so much a torment of the German Navy, but rather a torment of many generals of the Army.

It is true that the navy cannot guarantee the smooth progress of the landing operation. Isn't the army also lacking in confidence?

What everyone is most worried about is not the inability to rely on landing operations to occupy the British mainland, but the fear that the head of state will order the implementation of the sea lion plan in the near future.

Now is not the old history where the British Air War was lost, but a new historical moment when the British Air War appears to have been won!

Since Goering has already won the air dominance over Britain, according to the plan, the Sea Lion plan should go step by step!

If at this time the head of state allows the navy to overcome the difficulties and really make a big news of landing in the UK, that is the depressing thing for the army generals.

They are not afraid of landing, they are afraid that the navy will lose its chain halfway, so that the army sent to the UK will lose its logistics and become a prisoner given to the enemy for nothing!

When the situation in front of us is good, send 100,000 elite German troops to the British mainland, and then cut off the supplies and become prisoners... This is the real headache for the army.

Why Brausch has cooperated so with Li Le in making various improvements on the Eastern Front recently?

Since the head of state never mentioned the implementation of the sea lion plan, it proves that the head of state saw the problem of the landing operation, so he pretended to be stupid and suppressed this embarrassing topic!

With such a military-savvy leader, Brauchitch suddenly felt something called happiness.

So the field marshal, the commander-in-chief of the German army, did not hesitate to use some oil reserves, while tacitly allowing the Führer to cross the line slightly on the Waffen SS issue.

In addition, he also acquiesced to a series of improvements made by the Fuhrer to the Army. Facts have proved that his compromises are right and have indeed improved the combat effectiveness of the Army.

"You mean, the head of state suppressed the sea lion plan himself, but two months ago, we were still discussing the sea lion plan, it seems that the head of state is very interested in conquering Britain in the short term." Guderian asked.

Manstein shook his head and continued with a smile: "So, we think that the Führer is getting more and more crazy, which is an illusion... The Führer's sanity is overshadowed by his boldness!"

Guderian himself is not very optimistic about landing in the UK. He has confidence in the combat capability of the army, but is worried about the capability of the navy.

After all, the navy's operation to land in northern Europe has affected its wealth, and it has really hurt its vitality.

In the face of the British mainland and the main force of the British Royal Navy, Guderian believes that the navy has no chance of winning.

Sending 100,000 or more German soldiers to the British mainland for free, and then losing the war ugly, is something Guderian and other army generals are unwilling to do.

If they want to add a deadline to this unwillingness, they hope to be—well, not 10,000 years, but after the navy has gained control of the sea...

Of course, if the navy cannot control the sea, at least it has to fight with the British navy to lose both, so that the army's cross-sea supply will not be cut off.

"I really envy Rommel! He was sent to North Africa by the Führer himself, and he has already achieved victory." When talking about this ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ two people thought of this matter in their minds at the same time.

When the two of them saw the mechanized infantry division, which finally triggered this series of discussions, the head of state they admired was summoning Admiral Raeder in the capital Berlin.

Li Le didn't go to trouble with the army, which didn't mean he didn't go to trouble with the navy. This time, Li Le prepared for the relevant content of the sea lion plan.

Seeing Raidel, who was obviously tired and emaciated due to the naval renovation project, Li Le, the fake head of state, pointed to the sofa in his prime minister's office, signaling the other party to be more casual.

"Victory! Head of State!" Rader saluted Li Le, then sat opposite Li Le.

"What do you think of the new equipment I mentioned to you last time?" Li Le didn't mention the sea lion plan to the army because he knew that the essence of the matter was the navy.

These days he has been preparing for the Sea Lion project, because in his plan, Germany should get the British behind before it is forced to go to war with the Soviet Union.

In order to achieve this goal, Li Le was meticulous and drew up a grand operational planning schedule for the Navy.

The Navy wants to use the submarine force to delay the recovery of the British mainland in the next three months. Then the naval fleet formed combat power and went out to sea to completely cut off Britain's maritime supplies in the form of a fleet.

It was a guerrilla-like sea-breaking engagement - the same job that the German fleet did in real history.

The only difference was that the fleet was not afraid of British squadrons in either direction. So after attacking the route, it can calmly choose any direction to break through and return!

After cutting off the British sea supplies, the next step is to land on the British mainland and use the method copied by Li Le to defeat the British on the other side!
