Imperial Overlord

In the 21st century, Chinese people, under the influence of European and American blockbusters, are full of curiosity about the fantasy world of the West.

In fact, this thing is not as beautiful as it is outlined in the movie. In most cases, the birth of magic is accompanied by ignorance and sin.

The most rampant years of European magic and witchcraft are almost the most raging years of the Black Death. And those magicians and wizards, of course, are not as glamorous as they are on TV.

In most cases, they used some magic tricks to achieve their sinful goals in their own era.

This is also the reason why the so-called magical rituals in Europe use strange things, and some are still very evil.

And this won't work in the East. After all, if you want to perform magic, you must first put on a sacred and legal coat.

In the East, who would dare to say that they would take a black crow with its head turned into ashes and throw it into a mercury solution to prolong the life of the emperor. It is estimated that the possibility of being pulled out and slashed is much higher than that of promotion and making a fortune.

In the secret room, a tall and thin old man in a black robe began to use his crutches to draw symbols on the ground that no one could understand.

Then he began to chant some strange incantations, and strange to say, the smoke began to glow magically under the fire.

"Almighty God! Merciful God!" After drawing dozens of strange symbols, the old man suddenly shouted loudly.

Churchill didn't care too much about what happened before, he was thinking about whether he was naive to the point of madness.

As a result, the other party shouted so loudly that Churchill shivered in fright before returning his attention to the center of the ceremony.

Against the backdrop of the fire, the steaming white smoke finally dissipated, and the old man in the black robe turned around and gave his answer.

He walked towards Churchill weakly, and then, as if with all his strength, said a name: "Dante!"

"Dante?" Churchill repeated the name with a frown. He didn't know what the name the other said meant.

"My God, that Dante in Italy? The one who wrote The Divine Comedy?" Even if the archbishop was ignorant, he could still think of the most famous one among these names.

Of course, maybe the otakus in the 21st century will have strange things like Devil May Cry in their minds because of this name. This is completely a manifestation of insufficient knowledge, and it does not mean that he is a two-dimensional god.

I still have to say this, knowledge accumulation is a very important process. Those who can become interested in watching Japanese anime and finally learn Japanese history by themselves are at least stronger than those who only buy pillows and say that Shirley Lu is so wonderful. many…

Zhuge Liang can make a third of the world without leaving home, and the only fate for some people who stay at home is that they drown at home with the toilet blocked.

"Uh... I don't think he's talking about Dante who wrote the Divine Comedy." Churchill glanced at the archbishop and said this.

He also thought of Dante, the Dante who outlined hell, but then he overturned his guess.

Because if Dante's ghost was resurrected to steal information from the British, it would be too grotesque, and Churchill felt that this was "bullshit" in itself.

So then, Churchill diverged his thoughts and thought of another name, Dawding, that he had to chant several times every day these days!

Yes, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force Fighter Unit, General Hugh Dowding! He felt that it should be more practical for God to help give the name of a German spy rather than nonsense such as ghosts.

But if Churchill had been in contact with professions such as magic sticks before, he could guess that the name the other party said was really Dante who wrote the Divine Comedy!

Because it is impossible for the gods to get any instructions from heaven, they can only speak some words that can be explained on both sides.

Since this ceremony was prepared for the purpose of catching the devil, of course the magic stick would say some related words about hell, demons and so on.

For example, Dante, who was the first to describe "hell", would explain that the devil came from **** and was a German evil spirit after pretending to faint and woke up as long as the other party asked for an explanation.

It is a pity that Churchill did not have the patience to watch his performance. After he coincidentally said the name Dante, the first person Prime Minister Churchill thought of was Dowding, the British fighter commander.

In Churchill's view, only people at the level of Dawding can get so much secret information, and it is possible to bypass the British intelligence agencies and hide their identity for so long.

On the other hand, a recent German act of framing has also disturbed the British side's judgment.

For example, German spies used cars to carry telegraphs and sent some information back to Germany on some streets in Britain.

These little spies took advantage of the surveillance equipment of the British intelligence services, and cleverly put the blame on the senior British officials for certain crimes.

During World War II, countries had equipment that could lock the transmitting position of the telegraph. This is also the reason why countries should keep radio silence at special times and use telegrams as little as possible to communicate.

Using this kind of detection equipment, it is also possible to find out the spies hidden by the enemy country in their own country, and after a few detections, we can determine the sending position of the enemy spies.

The technology is not particularly high-tech, but it is not easy to use. As long as the scope is narrowed down to the block, and the interrogation of the surrounding neighbors, in most cases, the enemy spy can be found.

However, this time, the German intelligence agency deliberately framed the slander. The purpose of the fake telegram sent by the car parked on the street was to disrupt telegram detection in the UK.

Although this kind of planting is wide-ranging, Churchill has focused on these streets.

Because the enemies chosen by the German spies were places with many senior officers of the British Air Force, it had some influence on Churchill's judgment.

Originally, this influence was only a little bit insignificant, but with the name given by the magician today, Churchill expanded this little bit infinitely.

"Dodding? Do you have the ability to do such a thing? You have to investigate carefully!" Churchill felt that he had found the right direction, and began to figure out how to focus on the investigation.

However, before everything in front of him was over, the sound of the air defense alarm sounded, and the figure of the German bomber appeared in the airspace of the United Kingdom again.

One after another, the German bombers were unmanned. Under the fire of anti-aircraft artillery, they opened the bomb bay and dropped one bomb after another.

The explosion on the ground raised one huge black cloud after another, and the ruins of British factories collapsed under the bombardment, and the craters were connected one by one.

The British air defense shooters have begun to become numb. Without the help of fighter jets, they simply cannot stop so many aircraft and attack their airspace.

They face the same problems as Germany did at the end of World War II. Close to the strength of the anti-aircraft artillery, it is impossible to stop the attack of enemy bombers on their own targets.

The shells fired by the anti-aircraft artillery are actually not very high. For example, Germany's famous 88mm anti-aircraft gun has a maximum shooting height of only about 10,000 meters.

Smaller caliber artillery can't reach high-flying bombers at all, so the German ju-88 bomber, which can operate at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, and more than half of the anti-aircraft guns in the UK are simply out of reach.

The United Kingdom itself also lacks weapons like the German 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and anti-aircraft weapons rely more on fighter units.

As the fighter unit was driven out of the battlefield by the Luftwaffe, the British air defense system collapsed. The United Kingdom, which lacked anti-aircraft weapons, frantically manufactured anti-aircraft guns while adding more other weapons.

The collapse of air supremacy means that the German landing operations may be launched at any time. In this case, the original situation of the United Kingdom only producing fighter jets to compete with the Luftwaffe has been completely broken.

If the planes dare not go into battle, they can only build anti-aircraft guns; if the air superiority is lost, the enemy may land, and the enemy will need more artillery and tanks.

The production of more tanks and howitzers will further squeeze the steel demand of the navy and air force. This is another time and space, the situation in Germany.

The problem the UK is facing now is the collapse of the same defense system, resulting in more material expenditures, wasting reserves that should have been sufficient, and making the entire production fall into a passive state.

Germany's production capacity is not insufficient, but is scattered in many aspects.

Germany produced a total of 140,000 anti-aircraft guns of 20mm caliber; Germany produced a total of 40,000 anti-aircraft guns between 37mm and 128mm caliber...

These anti-aircraft guns were made to deal with the British and US Air Forces, and sadly these weapons were outnumbered and didn't do much.

Just imagine, without the influence of strategic bombing, these anti-aircraft guns are thrown on the tanks, how large the German tank production will be.

Of course, this does not include the nearly 1,000 submarines of the German Navy, all of which were killed by the British and American navies, while the Soviet Union did not build a decent navy at all.

Therefore, it is neither objective nor comprehensive to criticize German industry only in terms of tank production capacity. In fact, the real industrial problems in Germany have deeper reasons.

So, what exactly is the problem facing German industry? It is what Li Le, as the fake head of state of Germany, is trying to avoid and trying his best to integrate.

He is now helping Germany out of an industrial disaster, at least not so deep, and not letting his own people fall into the trap of the industrial system in the end—

Today, because the state is not good, I can't add more updates, so I need to organize my thoughts...
