My Third Empire

"Not a transport soldier, a transport fleet of this size can only transport tens of thousands of people ... At this time, transporting tens of thousands of people to Iceland has no effect at all. ≥ The apex novel," a German intelligence analysis officer frowned. Holding the information in his hand, he finally spoke to the people around him.

An officer in the distance immediately expressed his thoughts: "It must be confirmed to what extent the maritime power of the Allied forces in the entire North Atlantic has been strengthened, how many warships and how many transport ships they have."

Another army general sat in his position and asked anxiously the officers around him: "Is the Atlantic barriers foolproof? Knowing that in the UK, we do n’t have much power. Once the United States and Britain land on the British soil, I think Know if we have the ability to drive them there. "

The general beside him nodded, and then pointed at the coastal areas of the United Kingdom and Ireland with a pointer in his hand: "We buried 300,000 mines on several beaches suitable for landing, and these places have been reinforced with 50,000 tons of reinforced concrete Coastal fortifications. "

"Each kilometer has a reinforced concrete machine gun main position reinforced with an average of 300 meters. The machine gun position temporarily reinforced. We have deployed at least 70,000 soldiers in Ireland, and there is an armored battalion to support."

"We still have at least 300,000 soldiers on the British mainland. They have an armored army that can repel at least 200,000 enemy troops." The German officer responsible for the defense of the British occupied area detailed some of the key areas. The composition of the defensive system and the related tactics prepared by the Germans.

"The fight against landing is actually just an intermediate link in the entire Atlantic barrier defense system. Once the long-range reconnaissance aircraft and submarine forces discover the movements of the enemy, the aircraft carrier fleet will go out to the sea to prepare for battle. Counting our aircraft carrier fleet, we can at most "Assemble more than 1,000 aircraft near the enemy landing site to seize airpower and annihilate the enemy's landing transport fleet." A head of the naval department said confidently: "Under the cover of offshore land-based aircraft, it is impossible for the enemy to seize airpower. , So the Atlantic barriers are solid. "

"On the other hand, we have a mobile unit with more than 100,000 people in France. If the enemy landed in the UK, we would be able to provide rapid support across the strait." Another German army officer joined the discussion. He also Landing across the Atlantic is an impossible task: "The British and American navies are not strong enough."

From the defeat of Britain to the present, the Germans have a year to strengthen the defense of the entire occupied area. In fact, the Germans did. They recruited a large amount of cement to build coastal fortifications, arranged dense radar air defense networks, and deployed reconnaissance aircraft and submarine warning nets in the open sea.

Hundreds of thousands of German troops are still waiting, waiting for the Allied attacks in Britain, Ireland and France. These troops have a large number of tanks and cars, and their rapid mobility is very powerful. The German Air Force in these areas has maintained a strong combat effectiveness of more than 700 aircraft.

If necessary, there are more than 200 planes in Germany that can be supported at any time. This army is not another SS youth group defeated from the Sud battlefield in another time and space, but a well-trained and well-armed main force. force. One out of every 10 of them has participated in a real war, which is no less than the troops on the Sud battlefield.

Coupled with immobility, the German carrier fleet that is willing to exist in the Navy in Wilhelmshaven, the Americans must at least mobilize them before they dare to fight an unknown landing battle with the Germans on the Western Front. This is another reason why the main force of the German navy does not go to the Mediterranean Sea to fight the autumn wind. They want to prevent the United States from suddenly engaging in some sudden attacks such as the present.

"If it is not a person, it can only be supplies. The same reason, it is not a tank or a land combat equipment, nor an anti-aircraft gun ..." Because of the inaccurate information, these German generals had to use the elimination method little by little. Speculate what the British and American coalition forces are preparing for. Although this stupid method is not efficient, it can rely on guesswork to make the best preparation.

A German general waved his hand, denying the previous guess: "It is not a defensive anti-aircraft gun or cement. We have not logged any action in Iceland, and the Americans will not suddenly take the wind to strengthen the defensive force of Iceland. They are still preparing to attack That must be the case. "

"Bombers! Their b17 bombers are very similar to our butcher bombers, and they can cover many places below its attack radius!" An air defense authority from the Air Force put forward its views. He felt that the Allied forces would mobilize bombers to attack German industrial facilities without escort.

It ’s not land attack or sea attack-then the threat of attack from the air is particularly prominent. Large bombers can fly directly from Canada or the United States to Iceland, so it is only necessary to transport ground personnel and ammunition, as well as some supporting maintenance equipment and fuel. And the amount of these materials is not a lot, it can fully explain the increase in the other party's transportation volume discovered by the submarine force.

There is a certain difference between knowing the enemy is preparing to attack and knowing where the enemy is preparing to attack. There are too many places to attack from Iceland, and the German comprehensive defense is obviously not realistic.

The raid on Ireland and even the bombing of Liverpool had little effect on Germany. Liverpool had just restored some of its port functions, and it was not worthy of being a target of large-scale bombing; the same is true of Ireland. The bombing there has only a limited impact on Germany except for angering locals. .

The bombing of Northern Britain and the bombing of Ireland was basically a waste of troops. The United States and the British could not have spent so much time preparing for a low-cost attack. The other people ’s land was bombed, and there was no interference or damage to Germany at all-was n’t it sick?

It is not possible to cross the UK or Norway, and then attack the homeland: first, after all, the range is too extreme, and the bomber ’s bomb capacity is seriously weakened; second, these aircraft will be deployed in three directions in the UK, Norway, and Germany. Land-based fighters surrounded and intercepted them and were destroyed in the North Sea.

"Norway! Americans want to bomb Norway's iron ore production plants!" The German air defense authority who just spoke clapped and came to his own conclusion: "Only bombing Norway is worth their huge air power! Only bombing Norway can interfere with our local production! "

...

"Bombing! Bombing Norway is the only option we have now. The British infrastructure is relatively complete, and we will definitely pass by when we bomb Germany, and it will be easily detected by the German radar deployed there." With one after another b17 bomber landing on the Icelandic airport: "For today, we have worked hard for a long time."

Britain insisted on staying in Iceland, and one of its original plans was to retain the last glimmer of hope for bombing Europe. Now the production of b17 bombers in the United States has finally met the needs of the front line, and finally accumulated nearly 300 aircraft in the country. This makes Iceland Air Force Base have certain strategic value.

On the other hand, it took time for Britain to build Iceland. After a full year of tug-of-war with German submarines, the slowly-built Iceland Air Force Base finally became a usable base, so the United States and Britain immediately came up with this plan. Start to implement it.

The last reason for the US military to start implementing this plan now is that during the Romanian Air Defense War, Germany proved that its equipped fighters have the ability to tear apart the defense of the Allied bomber-so all the B-17s produced have to be modified , Equipped with more powerful firepower and more advanced air force engines.

The Americans hope to use higher flight heights, better fire defenses, and faster flight speeds to evade the German-equipped Ta-152 fighters and suppress the 30-mm caliber cannons they are equipped with. For this purpose, the newly produced b-17s are equipped with thicker steel plates and equipped with larger caliber cannons-this has caused the b-17's ammunition capacity to be seriously affected, and the range has been lost.

This time the Americans felt that their preparations were foolproof. After all, they concentrated such a huge air power, and it was another covert raid operation. The first battle to achieve certain results can be said to be determined. All pilots have been rigorously selected and trained to deal with the threat posed by German fighters.

"The news brought back by the Norwegian spies that the Germans have only a few fighter units in Norway, and they have about 100 fighters. They ca n’t afford it and ca n’t stop our bombardment of the target in time." A US official said Looking at the B-17 bomber on the ground, proudly bragging to the British officials around him: "Now the only question is, once we start the bombing of Norway, how safe is the Icelandic base Guarantee……"

"We have the world's most advanced meteor fighters, more than 20 ... and 20 hurricane fighters and 31 P-40 Rolls-Royce improved." The commander of the British Air Force Base, is also the British government in exile in Iceland Hugh Dowding, the current commander-in-chief of the Air Force, said: "Since the meteor appeared, there have been no German planes here."

"That's good! We took off a few hours later and attacked the Norwegian iron ore factory at night!" The US official said with his hands on his back: "God bless America!"

"God bless the British Empire!" Hugh Dowding also prayed. Now all he can do is pray.
