Chapter 759 The Sea Lion Plan Begins

"To completely crush them!" Lao Xi could no longer wait. The Germans, who are now in a rapid expansion, do not need to reconcile with the British, and they have the hope of becoming the world overlord.

Especially in the Battle of New Jutland, Lao Xi's flame of hope burned even more vigorously.

Due to a series of victories in Germany, many contradictions were suppressed in a cheer for enjoying the plundering of wealth. At this time, the wealth accumulated by Britain around him that had been around for hundreds of years became a cake that the Germans were eager to divide.

Attacking Britain became the mainstream voice of the public.

However, Germany, which won the naval battle at the beginning, suffered a great loss. Although there were few main ships that were sunk, almost all of them were injured. By the time they were repaired one by one, three months had passed. The landing war lacked their protection and could not deal with the numerous British small and medium-sized warships, and could not clear the numerous fortifications on the land.

At this time, when fighting against the land, it still had to rely on heavy artillery shells from naval guns to knock on the national door.

The British also noticed the actions of the Germans, and piled up coastal defenses everywhere, and even some naval guns from the last century were moved out of the warehouse and placed at some possible landing sites. For hundreds of years, due to the strength of the British fleet, their once proud shore defense system has been riddled with holes and many loopholes.

The long coastline is not good enough to defend in a short while, and even because of the continuous bombing of the Germans, even enough defensive weapons are not enough. Even if the wealth accumulated over hundreds of years is accumulated there, it will not be converted into weapons in a short while. They can only ask for help from the Americans and the Umbrella Company again.

The Americans responded quickly and quickly sent a huge fleet of five battleships and five aircraft carriers to support.

The Americans really invested a lot. Two North Carolina-class battleships, the North Carolina and Washington, came, and three of the newly commissioned South Dakota-class battleships also arrived at once, only one stayed at home to watch the door.

With the new Iowa class and the Montana class under construction, Americans have already lost sight of North Carolina and Nanda. It is rare to meet the British who are extremely eager. Americans who are good at buying and selling everything will naturally not miss this opportunity.

The five Essex-class aircraft carriers were also newly commissioned by the Americans. Because of Meng Xiang's money-making behavior, the Essex-class received orders from the US Navy in early 1941 and began construction. The three Americans built three shipyards, and two shadow companies provided two.

After Pearl Harbor, the Americans quickly launched huge industrial capabilities and selected Essex-class aircraft carriers with good performance as a template for mass production. In the second half of 1941, eight more ships were started.

The Americans brought the five newly built ships to the British in one go, which made Meng Xiang hesitate for a long time, the three Royal Arks that Meng Xiang planned to throw out through the protective umbrella.

Now that the British are armed with great strength at once, Meng Xiang hopes to see. The British are eagerly pursuing all powerful arms. No matter how high the weapons of American goods are compared to the protective umbrella, the British will be wiped out.

Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel hatred and continued to transport landing ships and destroyers for landing escort to Germany.

The landing ships were still of various series of the United States in World War II, while the destroyers directly used the Z series that the Germans were more familiar with. Moreover, considering the cheapness, Meng Xiang directly launched the 1936 model that the Germans were already very familiar with, and sold 12 ships in one go.

Although the performance of these de-destroyers is a little poor, they can still fight against the British gunboats for escort missions, and can also be used as training for German naval rookies.

The main destroyer changed to the Z-class 1944 model with better performance in diesel engines. After all, this is in line with the German technology, and is the most cost-effective to the German taste, logistics maintenance and maintenance. The British and American ships that Meng Xiang started to stuff in the past could only be used as reference assistance, and could not become the main force.

Therefore, the German destroyers, including many destroyers from the Netherlands, Greece and other countries, had exceeded 80, which was twice as many as the 42 in the original history. This also increased Redel's confidence a lot.

Redell understood the cruelty of landing war, so he always disapproved of the Sea Lion Plan, but now the arrow is on the string and has to be fired.

The British, who were blocked and even more depressed, had no intention of a peace talk, and the Americans were coming soon and needed to solve the springboard problem of the European continent as soon as possible. So a more detailed and reasonable plan for the new sea lion was released.

On July 15, a huge fleet of seven German battleships and three aircraft carriers sailed into the Atlantic Ocean, facing the support fleet of the United States.

The four Yamato-class battleships joined the next tour, leading a H41-class Germanic ship. Two other Bismarck-class battleships followed together, which is the most luxurious battleship lineup today.

The British were shocked, fearing that the Americans would suffer losses, and found that there was only one Prussian H41 super warship in the German country, and the three Nagamon-class patrols and guarded the Strait of Protartar and the Baltic Sea. They were relieved and sent 6 battleships and 2 aircraft carriers to meet the Americans' aid fleet. After all, there was also a transport cargo ship that was the largest in history with the American warships.

The Americans initially declined the escort plan proposed by Britain, but the cargo ships that were repeatedly sunk by German submarines gave them a blow.

The escort level of the US Navy is frequently traumatized in front of the experienced German submarines.

Even though their shipbuilding speed is first-class, the lost ships and cargoes in the past six months have made Americans feel extremely distressed. Many of them pay for goods when they arrive. Even if there is a high profit, there are still times when they lose money. After all, the price of cheap Chinese goods restricts the room for profit improvement.

The continuous shipwrecks have greatly increased the complaints of American merchants, and they have called on the US government to provide a stronger escort fleet. The American war machine has just started and has not yet demonstrated its terrifying strength in the late World War II. The war has not provided much help at the beginning, so when the news of a huge fleet set out to support Britain, it was immediately stuffed with various cargo ships and took a sailboat to earn British money.

Because of the continuous siege, the price of a pair of socks in the UK can now buy a gold watch in the United States. Therefore, the huge merchant fleet escorted by the American fleet is also a hope for the British, and it cannot be lost.

"As long as the Americans come, the rope on my neck can be loosened a little!" Churchill mocked himself. The pressures in various aspects such as people's livelihood and security have at least made Churchill ten years older than in the original history. In the original time and space, the British still maintained a gentlemanly demeanor in the face of rich background in the war, but now hunger and the lack of people's living resources have distorted the entire British society.

Soldiers and refugees hiding in the UK, Belgium and the Netherlands, have added a heavy burden to the chaotic security situation in the UK.

If it weren't for the hard-hearted heart that Churchill had honed, he would have been driven crazy by various problems.

He has now abandoned the face of the Great Empire of Britain and is eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the Americans.

But before the Americans came, the Germans came first.

"What? The Germans are landing?" Churchill overturned his share of coffee today and said in a daze.

Although he knew that the Germans were going to carry out the sea lion plan, he did not expect that it would be this time. His eyes were looking at the Atlantic Ocean, preparing to see how the British and American combined fleet defeated the German blockade on the Atlantic Ocean. Yesterday, when he was still talking to the royal family, he mocked the Germans for not being familiar with the sea conditions of the Atlantic Ocean and were about to take turns to take turns. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, the Germans began to land in the English Channel.

And he chose the closest point from Dunkirk and Calais to attack Dover directly opposite him.

"The German fleet is still on the Atlantic Ocean from time to time?" Churchill quickly reacted and asked first.

He was worried that the Germans' plan to deceive the world would instantly allow the huge German main fleet to appear in front of him.

"The German fleet is still looking for opportunities to fight against the joint fleet on the Atlantic Ocean! According to our intelligence, there are not a single one of them!" Since the intelligence error in the last Mid-level Naval Battle of New Jutland, the British intelligence organization has strengthened its efforts. Pound's intelligence has been confirmed again and again, and only then can he dare to confirm it so much.

Although he was fooled by the Germans once, after learning that most of the German main warships were outside, Churchill breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal and said in surprise:

"Don't they know that it's the place where we have the strongest defense?"

Alan Francis Brooke, who is the new British Chief of Staff next to him, couldn't help but say a little embarrassedly:

"Recently, we have been patching loopholes in local defense, and have relaxed a little on the area near Dover. The defense there is probably not as strong as we imagined!"

He had been the commander of the local defense force before and had not said anything. In order to make up for the defense loopholes in other places, he even drew several defensive forces from the strongest areas. Unexpectedly, the Germans started from the strongest areas.

"Either the Germans have accurate news, or Hitler is a lunatic!" Alan said helplessly, but he still felt that even if he weakened the defense line of his strength, he could smash the Germans' landing attack to pieces.

Obviously he guessed something, Lao Xi directly ordered the army to concentrate the strongest force to break the British's strongest defense.

This is not crazy, but the easiest way to destroy the British's confidence as quickly as possible.
