Two Hundred and Twenty-Four Stations

In fact, this decisive naval battle has an advantage for Britain: the German navy has not been formed long ago, and its combat power has not yet been fully formed. "Confused" the role of the German army, this is the second. (starter)

But in fact, Churchill was still under great pressure, because after all, this was the first large-scale operation he organized since he took office, and because he did not inform the British politicians of this mission who were bent on war between Germany and the Soviet Union. He put all his chips on the victory of destroying the German High Seas Fleet in one fell swoop.

But just as the British Royal Navy was looking for the main force of the German High Seas Fleet on the vast and boundless sea, there was an inconspicuous railway station in Germany. It was crowded with soldiers of the First Panzer Corps transferred from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. The tanks of the 1st Armored Division were fastened to the skin of the flatbed train, and the carriages were now full of soldiers.

Several officers were allowed to get out of the car during the parking time to smoke. In order to increase the capacity, officers below the regiment commander were stuffed into the soldier's carriage, and many of them didn't even have a seat. But compared with the fighting years in Poland, the days in Germany can be described as enjoyable.

There are hot meals every day, and there is no need to eat those hard compressed biscuits and salty dried vegetables. This has been considered a very good treatment. Although the carriage was crowded, everyone could finally get a good night's sleep, because there was no need to worry about Polish partisans throwing grenades into the barracks.

General Guderian did not have his own train compartment at this moment, but was crowded into the same compartment with the staff and guards. Through the window, he saw two tanks on the freight platform. It seemed that they were preparing to I got on the train here, but unfortunately this train does not have any extra space.

"It seems that our hero has no place to get in the car." Guderian smiled at his adjutant, then pointed out the window and said, "Get out of the car and call General Lundstedt of Army Group A and let him He helped arrange it. After all, we are under his command now, so it's not too much trouble."

The adjutant followed Guderian's gaze and looked out of the car window, his eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "I said who made the commander worry so much, isn't this our big star crew? Tank 113, this is the Our number one tank ace."

"Don't be rude, go ahead." Guderian said with a smile: "He is also half of my student, and I gave them the first lesson on tank tactics. It's been almost seven years."

Time flies really fast. Seven years ago, the German armored forces were hiding their heads and tails, and now they are famous all over the world. They became famous in Poland and became super ace in the hands of Germany.

On the platform, looking at the chaotic trains and the platform staff, Ren leaned on his tank very comfortably.

Chewing the fragrant chocolate in his mouth. This is a gift that the Führer deliberately found for him. Some are high-grade chocolates made in Germany, and some are luxury goods imported from the United States, but now they are all in the storage box of the No. 113 tank, and some are on Ren's chest. In the tin box with the worn-out paint.

"Do you regret it? I didn't stay in Berlin..." Andrei came over with a cigarette in his mouth, with the polished Iron Cross hanging on his chest.

"I regret it." Ren replied with a smile: "I regret not throwing you in Berlin."

Andre laughed, and Bruce, who was sitting against the turret in the car, also laughed. They were so happy now that they didn't have to worry about death or starvation. Bruce even brought a lot of bottles of champagne, so he still took up storage location for four shells.

Nearly half of the German troops were advancing westward, overcrowding the somewhat redundant German rail transport system. Hundreds of thousands of infantry, thousands of cars and motorcycles, and thousands of tanks, these troops are heading for the western front, and everyone knows that the battle between Germany and France is about to break out.

Therefore, everyone unscrupulously enjoyed a fairly good peaceful time, and the officers of the army also temporarily ignored the "disciplined" behavior of their soldiers, and even condoned things such as drinking or gambling to ease the tension before the war.

"Hey! Big boss! Who told you to park the tanks here?" An arrogant railway soldier came over, with the railway soldier's unique carved iron plate hanging on his chest, which looked reminiscent of medieval knight.

"Oh, we're from Berlin, waiting here to get on the bus," Andrei said back.

SS? The railway soldier saw clearly the military uniforms these soldiers were wearing, and regretted his arrogance just now. After all, the black uniforms of the SS and the ss lightning badge on the collar are very special: at least in Germany, the mission of the SS is not to fight, but to search and interrogate.

"The SS? The SS can't disrupt transportation! This is wartime! Wartime is the most important thing." Behind the railway soldier, an officer of the 1st Panzer Division who was smoking squinted at Ren and others , snorted with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "What's so special, you belong to the 3rd Panzer Division of the SS, right?"

Knowingly ask? Ren raised his eyebrows. The code name of the 3rd SS Armored Division is Skull. All armored vehicles of this division have a skull logo on the fender on the right side of the front of the car. As long as you see a skull, then Must be the unit of this division.

"What's wrong with the SS? We were ordered to go to Berlin, so you're trying to find fault?" Bruce, who was leaning on the turret, got up from the tank and jumped off the tank.

Number 113? Not so coincidental, right? The face of the officer who deliberately disgusted the 3rd Panzer Division of the SS changed suddenly. You must know that this 113 is a myth of the German army on the Eastern Front, not only the SS, but also him and his troops. They are also idolized with the No. 113 tank.

"Bruce, salute when you see the chief." Ren swallowed the chocolate in his mouth, stepped forward, stood at attention, and raised his right hand: "Long live the head of state."

"Long live the head of state!" The officer immediately returned the salute.

The railway soldier beside him even sweated down: You said a lieutenant officer, and a sergeant with a Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross, you two gods fought, why did you have to take me with you? what to do?

"I'm very sorry, I was rude just now." Seeing the half-covered Knight's Iron Cross on Renn's collar, the "confused" lieutenant apologized politely: "Berlin's trip is quite pleasant. Is it?"

"Not bad." Ren smiled: "But it still feels better to be able to fight side by side with everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, the station master of the small town railway station arrived. He received a call from the adjutant General Lundstedt, the commander of Army Group A and the commander-in-chief of the battlefield on the Western Front, asking him to personally assist the two vehicles. The tanks arranged carriages so that they would arrive on the Western Front with their troops.

So the lieutenant officer who originally wanted to find fault returned to his train in a daze, and Ren and his tanks also successfully boarded the train to the west line. Of course, the railroad soldier had a new topic to brag about: he had seen a young tank commander with three thick lines and four thin lines drawn on the tank he commanded.

The head of state and the General Headquarters of the National Defense Forces ordered that the battle-hardened 1st Panzer Corps be secretly transferred to the western front, while the 4th Panzer Corps, which had not participated in any major battles, was used to fill the gap on the eastern front. In this way, the most elite 1st, 2nd, and 7th Panzer Corps of the German army, as well as the 5th and 6th Light Panzer Corps, were concentrated on the Western Front, and the deployment of German troops against France was almost completed.

The Soviet Union, because of its own problems, does not seem to continue to provoke Germany in a short period of time, and the entire eastern part of the country ushered in a relatively stable period of confrontation. Taking advantage of this period, Accardo decided to really provoke a world war just like Hitler did in the past, and first completely drive the unprepared France out of the arena of world hegemony.

However, once a war with France, it also means a real tear in the face with Britain, which also means a real war with the world. The raw materials and various materials that Germany lacked will be blocked by the British Navy. And at that time, it was the time when Germany was really vulnerable, and it was also the time when it was really difficult.

He has to calculate every step with precision, because it determines the future of Germany and his own. Attacking France is only the beginning, and the follow-up problem is the most terrible, and these choices are related to the future direction of Germany's main attack, and must be deployed early.

Germany is now again faced with three options: first, after killing France, infiltrate the Balkans southward, but this will arouse dissatisfaction with its ally Italy; second, start in Africa, strive to seize control of the Mediterranean Sea as soon as possible, and control the Suez Canal. It also conflicted with the direction of the Italian offensive; third, attacked the Soviet Union eastward and embarked on the road of the Soviet-German war.

And now, Akado has one more option than Hitler, and this option is to land in the UK. Because Arkado's navy abandoned battleships and heavy cruisers and chose aircraft carriers as the main means of attack, the navy in Akado's hands is now stronger than Hitler's.

So Arkado still has a glimmer of hope now, that is, the German navy has severely damaged the British Royal Navy, won the sea control of the English Channel for a few months, and protected the army to land on the British mainland in one breath. Although the plan had been discussed dozens of times, Marshal Brauchitch still lacked confidence in defeating the French and British expeditionary forces.

So until now, the plan to invade Britain called the "Cerberus Plan" has been discussed in the name of a preparatory plan. Although Arcador has always been interested in this plan, it is true that except for the head of state, no one believes in it. Germany is capable of doing it.
