“Bomb the factory. The next target of the attack will be the factory of the British Empire!”

What Mainz thought of, this guy Goering also thought of, so after bombing the Fog City, he ran over to ask Mainz for instructions. Goering was a little worried. When attacking the capital of Gaul, the Iron Tower City, Mainz specifically instructed that their air force should avoid accidental bombings and could only attack the military camps in the city, not other places, especially residential areas and industrial areas.

Although the air force shined in that operation because of its outstanding performance, they were dancing with shackles after all. Although they danced very well, they always felt a little awkward. This time, when bombing the British Empire, Goering was a little nervous. He didn’t know whether it was still carried out according to the standards of the Gallic Campaign!

If it was still carried out according to the standards of the Gallic Campaign, the actions of the air force would be greatly restricted!

Fortunately, the head of state did not seem to have such plans. Goering’s requests were basically approved, which made Goering feel relieved!

“Führer, we have a limited number of bombers.

Even if we add together the B-29s and Stukas, the total number of bombers is less than one thousand.

The Stuka has a relatively small bomb load.

Although its hit accuracy is very high, its efficiency is not very high.

The main force of bombing is still the more than 200 B-29s.

Therefore, if we focus on bombing the cities and factories of the British Empire, I am afraid we will not be able to free up our hands to bomb their military facilities such as military camps and naval ports!

”

Goering knew the German army’s action plan. The German army would attack the British mainland sooner or later. Once they attacked the British mainland, they would have to fight with the army on the British mainland. In order to increase their chances of landing, they should focus on attacking the enemy’s army at this time, and should not be obsessed with bombing the enemy’s cities and factories.

As long as the enemy’s army is dealt with, it will be easy to send troops to land. By then, these factories will be easily taken over. Why would there be a need for such massive destruction?

Mainz heard Goering’s words, looked at him, and smiled:”Just continue to carry out the bombing mission. As for the military targets of the British mainland, let’s talk about it after these civilian targets are solved. The Marine Corps has not returned yet, and the various army groups are still conducting maritime transport training. After their training is completed, they will launch a landing on the British mainland. You still have plenty of time to cause destruction!”

Goering scratched his head. Mainz’s explanation made him even more confused. The Führer seemed to deliberately not explain why he emphasized the bombing of the British mainland, especially the bombing of cities and factories!

“If you can’t figure it out, go back and think about it slowly!”

Mainz didn’t give Goering the chance to continue dawdling, and drove him out in a few moves! As soon as

Goering left, Army General Stein and Navy Commander Dönitz came together!

Dönitz attacked the British Empire in the western waters of Gaul last month. However, as the landing operation is getting closer, there must be a big navy on Hans’s homeland.

At this time, people including Lütjens, Nimitz and Spruance have already led the team to carry out the mission, so the navy is short of people to guard. Naturally, Commander Dönitz can’t give up, so he handed over the attack mission in the Cantabrian Sea to other generals and rushed back to the capital by plane.

This time, Mainz summoned the two of them, naturally not for other things, but just wanted to confirm with them and see how the two prepared for the landing operation!

“The preparations are going on in an orderly manner. As for the navy, the size of the Marine Corps has been expanded to 100,000 people, and we have also prepared 220 landing ships, which can transport 200,000 troops ashore at one time. If all goes well, we can make two or even three round trips a day, and land 600,000 troops on the British mainland on the same day. With these 600,000 troops, we can firmly control the beachhead!”

Dönitz was full of confidence. Although he didn’t know where Mainz got so many landing ships, the appearance of these landing ships helped him a lot. With these landing ships as the main force, their ability to transport troops was greatly improved.

As long as the beach landing operation went smoothly, they could transport 600,000 troops ashore in one day!

Once 600,000 troops landed, even if the British army mobilized the entire country, it would be difficult to defeat them in a short time. As long as they could not drive the German army into the sea, the German army would be able to calmly transport more troops ashore! Once the main force of the German army successfully landed, the next battle would be simple!

The British Army’s army’s combat strength has always been weak, which was evident in the First World War. The German army had already experienced this during the war.

To be honest, the strength of the British army may not be as strong as that of the French army. Although Hans has always looked down on Gaul, it must be said that Gaul’s self-proclaimed strongest army in Europe is still a bit impressive. Although it is still unworthy of its reputation, it is not completely bragging.

The British army itself seems to know the level of its army, so they have almost never boasted about their army. What they have always boasted about is their powerful navy. However, at this time, the British navy’s strength has declined greatly after the Battle of the North Sea, and it can no longer suppress the German army. The mines they secretly laid were also cleared by the German army, which caused their blocking plan to completely fail.

So, the navy that never sets fell silent!

“Although the British Navy has been tied up in a large number of troops by our aircraft carrier fleet, once we launch a landing war on their homeland, they will definitely come back to fight us, so I plan to let the Bismarck and Tirpitz take the remaining four battleships to participate in this combat operation.

In addition, we also want to ask the Air Force to send fighters to help us seize air superiority.

We will send torpedo planes to attack their warships.

If they dare to go out to sea to fight us, this time they will definitely not come back!

”

Dönitz was full of confidence. From his description, we can see that their navy is indeed fully prepared!

“What about the army?”

After hearing what Dönitz said, Mainz nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his attention to Manstein.

“We are preparing to dispatch 2.1 million troops for this battle. Currently, a total of 1 million have undergone sea training and have met the requirements for landing operations!”

“But, Führer, I hope we can expand the army, at least to 100,000!”_
