Chapter 666 Whimsical

Plymouth is a British naval base and port city.

It is located in the central part of Plymouth Bay in southwest England, between the Plim River and the Tamar River, on the English Channel. The naval shipyard was built here as early as 1690, and Devonport in the south was an important port for the British Navy.

How could such an important military port be used for landing? Even finding a beach to land on is better than here!

However, everyone has a kind of worship to Cyric, no matter what strange idea Cyric proposes, they will implement it without hesitation.

Like now.

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

"It's not easy to land at Plymouth Naval Port. There are at least 30,000 British troops stationed here. According to our previous calculations, in the landing operation, the defenders will have the advantage, and we must have at least a ten-to-one ratio. , it is possible to win.”

When they landed in Brest, France, the German navy showed great success. However, it was just a surprise. The other party was unprepared, and they wanted to land in the British military port, which was different.

"Judging from our current capabilities, at most one Marine Division can be delivered at a time." Keitel said: "Even if you add airborne troops, the number of troops that can be delivered at one time will not exceed 30,000. This is One-to-one ratio, in a landing operation, this is definitely a dangerous ratio."

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

The delivery capability is simply not enough. If you count ordinary merchant ships, it will be quite a lot. However, for the first shock wave, it must be a special landing ship.

Not enough, not enough at all.

"Why don't we try to weaken the British if we can't build up more power?" Cyric said. "We made a fake to make the British think we were going to land at Dover, so the British What should I do?"

Unlike history, the British Expeditionary Force has surrendered to Germany! Before Britain was able to pay the ransom, these prisoners of war were sent to Speer, where the German-controlled mines lacked sufficient labor.

Therefore, the current military strength in the UK 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 location of the German landing is Dover, then in order to strengthen the defense there, the British have to be dispatched from other places, such as Plymouth, so there is no need to maintain the scale of 30,000 people. enough.

Cyric gradually opened up their minds. In this case, they can think about it all at once, and put on a menacing posture to let the British be fooled. The British army's mobility is very poor. When the time comes, the other party can't be mobilized at all!

It can be said that the important task of the first batch of landing troops is to hold their positions until the arrival of the second batch of troops. And directly occupying the port, it is more convenient to load and unload goods, and the attack is more rapid and effective.

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

As an important port in the United Kingdom, there will be no mines near Plymouth. After all, the British cannot seal themselves.

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

"I think we should deploy a large number of suspects in Calais and other places, or even dispatch one or two times to stimulate the British and make the news that we plan to land at Dover more reliable." Manstein said.

Cross military! What does the army say about the navy! Hearing this, Rader frowned.

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

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

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

As the war continues and the territory continues to expand, Germany will definitely face the problem of soldiers. How to solve this problem? Of course, we are looking for foreign volunteers!

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

Assemble an army of Frenchmen and go to England! Just think about how delightful it is!

Is it impossible? of course not! Now that the British navy has fired 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. This is a bloody feud!

When they heard the French volunteer teachers, everyone smiled knowingly, yes, this is indeed a way! Moreover, in this case, the news about our own landing in Dover is more likely to reach the ears of the British!

Therefore, the general policy was set like this, and the detailed plan was naturally completed by subordinates.

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

And Cyric also took advantage of these few days to check how the integration of the French industry was going.

France is the fifth largest industrial country in the world, and because of the rapid progress of the French war, the French industry suffered almost no losses, and now, the northern industrial areas have been directly occupied by Germany, so the corresponding , these industries were also fully taken over by Germany.

The German violence begins here! The main force has been fully mechanized, various warships have dumped dumplings, and aircraft have expanded production, which is completely inseparable from the French industry!

As the German Minister of Munitions in charge of production, Speer has been staying in France during this period of time.
