“The navy’s affairs have been decided. Now let’s talk about other things you have seen. Is the British Empire really unable to hold on?”

Starling did not want to waste too much time on the navy’s affairs. To be honest, he was willing to talk to Kuznetsov about this matter in person, which was already a face-giving to him. He was so patient because Kuznetsov was young and he had promoted him. If Kuznetsov was replaced by someone else, he would definitely not have such a good temper!

“We only went to Scotland in the north, not the south, but the German army has already occupied Scotland, which is very telling. Needless to say, the difficulty of the landing war is that since the German army can gain a foothold in the homeland of the British Empire, the next step is to continue to increase troops. For the British Empire, letting the German army gain a foothold in their homeland means that the pressure they face will increase!

I think there will be no suspense if we continue to fight.���！”

Kuznetsov was obviously not optimistic about the British Empire, which made Starlin nod slightly. This was basically the same intelligence he received!

“So, how long do you think the British Navy can last?”

Kuznetsov couldn’t answer this question because it was beyond his scope of business. However, from the perspective of the navy, he could try to answer it!

“I think the German army may go all out to attack southwards, or they may suspend the attack and use a war of attrition to reduce the resistance of the British people little by little, and then launch an attack when they lose their resistance. In that case, they can solve the British people with a smaller cost!”

This inference was recognized by Starlin. After all, the British people claimed to have 500,000 troops. Even if the combat effectiveness of these troops was not as good as that of the German army, once they really fought to the death, they would definitely cause considerable casualties to the German army.

The battle of Mainz attacking the British people was more than half successful when they landed smoothly, and when they occupied the entire Scotland, they had actually won the battle. Since they had already won, there was no need to pay unnecessary casualties, considering that the British people’s food supply was seriously insufficient.

Hans only needed to continue to blockade them at sea, and then further artificially create a situation of tight supplies, and starve the British people to death.

By then, the British people were starved to death and had no combat effectiveness, and it would be much easier for the German army to send troops again!

“Besides, I heard a piece of news when I was in Hans!”

Kuznetsov hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke out.

“Oh? What news?”

Starling was immediately interested when she heard what he said.

“The leader of Free Gaul, De Gaul, has already entered.

He is recruiting troops in North Africa and gradually controlling Gaul’s colonies in North Africa.

Now his army has expanded to more than 100 million people.

Moreover, it seems that a group of people have fled from the mainland of the British Empire and crossed the South Asia region before the Mediterranean.

When they stayed in Aiji, they left a troop on the other side of the Suez Canal.

And it is said that they will continue to recruit troops to prepare for war in the Mediterranean, intending to strengthen the defense of North Africa!

”

Kuznetsov’s news made Starling laugh. The pressure in her heart was swept away, and she felt particularly relaxed.

“Chairman, what’s up?”

Seeing Starling suddenly laugh, Kuznetsov was a little confused. He didn’t know why the other party was so happy. Could it be that the two pieces of information he passed on were special?

“Haha, the reason why I am happy is that the Hans are about to send troops to the Mediterranean and even to North Africa!”

Kuznetsov is still young after all. He may have some skills in military affairs, but when it comes to complex international politics and international strategies, his level is still a little low.

He himself may not be aware of the value of these two pieces of news, but Starling knows very well what these two pieces of news mean to him and to the Russian bear!

This means that the Hans will soon send troops south to fight in North Africa. If they continue to send troops south while the battle on the British side has not yet ended, then they will definitely have no hope of sending troops eastward within this year.

Moreover, once the fighting in North Africa continues If it is delayed for a while, Hans will definitely waste more time. What’s more, there are two countries in southern Europe, Italy and Banya. It is still unknown how these two countries will react to Hans’s southward march. Therefore, once Hans goes south, it is impossible for him to invade the Russian Bear in a short time.

The Russian Bear is not Gaul nor the land on which the sun never sets. Starlin feels that with the size of the Russian Bear, if Hans wants to invade the Russian Bear, he must go all out. By then, it will be difficult for them to hide the mobilization of troops and the deployment of various materials from his eyes. These tasks cannot be completed in a short time.

What’s more, Hans’ strategic focus was not in the east at this time, which gave him enough time to expand the scope of the Great Purge!

Before the Soviet-German War officially broke out, Starling was determined to eradicate dissidents in the country. If these dissidents were allowed to exist, not only would he feel like a thorn in his throat, but it would also greatly affect his subsequent strategic decision-making arrangements. Therefore, even if he had to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of his own, and risk causing unrest and panic within the Russian Bear, he must launch a Great Purge!

After Starling made this decision, it was quickly grasped by Hans’ intelligence personnel. After all, the Russian Bear had begun to purge some peripheral personnel within the government and the military.���They couldn’t hide it from their eyes.

After getting this information, Heydrich immediately sent the intelligence that had been prepared long ago through a third-party channel, so that Starling, who had always been resentful of Marshal Tukhachevsky, found an excellent opportunity to take action!

So, within a month, many major events that shocked the whole country happened one after another.

First, Kirov was assassinated by an unidentified person. The murderer fled after the crime. The intelligence department of the Russian bear, the Cheka, failed to catch the other party and could not find out who did it. However, there was a lot of intelligence showing that this time seemed to be related to the remnants left by Tolo’s driver.

This news made Starling extremely angry. He had just started the big purge and only cleaned up some small characters on the periphery, and the other party assassinated his trusted general Kirov! The other party’s revenge was too fast and too strong, right?
