Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 197: Record

"The glorious German Defence Force is invincible, and no enemy can stop our pace." The voice-over appears a little amused, but it is still within the acceptable range. The audience in Germany likes this passionate style very much. Xu Jun sat in the middle of the first row of the temporary screening room, with a bottle of Coca-Cola on the left and a bucket of popcorn on the right.

"The German Wehrmacht has conquered the English Channel, and countless brave soldiers are marching towards the UK, determined to completely defeat this most dangerous enemy." A scene of landing boat formations striking at the beach head with gunfire, rain and rain appeared on the screen. The choice is very good, it can be seen that the photographer has a superb professional quality.

Of course, these pictures were taken after the event, and the Germans did not encounter any enemy resistance on the beach from beginning to end. But the common people will not care about this. They want to feel the stimulus of war, which makes them feel that they are also involved. They will cheer for the victory of the National Defense Force and be proud of being a German.

Subsequent footage appeared on the combat footage of the Air Force and the Navy. Under the guidance of Xu Jun, Goebbels placed hundreds of field reporters in the army. They recorded innumerable precious combat images on film. After being edited and processed, these actual combat shots are not only used as propaganda materials to inspire the people, but also used as battlefield records in military teaching. It is said that because of the intuitive screen, the help for teaching is very significant, and it has received very high evaluations from several domestic military schools. .

When the news documentary was finished, the staff opened the thick curtains, and the sunlight shone through the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows on the beige wool carpet in the room.

"The colors are very bright and the scene is spectacular. I believe that people will love it very much when they broadcast it in China." Brauchic stood up on his back. As Xu Jun regained control of the overall situation, he reduced his great pressure and added The success of the battle on the front line was frequently reported, and the commander-in-chief of the army is now in a particularly happy mood.

"Before the price of color film went down. Most people could only see a copy of the black and white version. Goebbels has noticed this. We are ready to inject funds to study the newer manufacturing process. Expand Agfa's film production. I hope the German soldiers can use the camera to record everything they have experienced." After that, Xu Jun looked up and drank the Coca-Cola in the bottle, then put the empty bottle on the low table.

"There is still this kind of soda, and soldiers on the front line are very fond of it. We are developing new products. This is a very huge market."

The Coca-Cola Company has a medium-sized soda filling plant in Germany, which uses the raw pulp produced by the US parent company and German materials to produce Coca-Cola. At the time, this kind of drink was not very popular in Europe at that time, but it was loved by the public in Germany. There are many fans of this sweet soda among Nazi senior officials. What is interesting is that this American drink is even in the SS. Very popular.

Historically, after the declaration of war between the United States and Germany, this Coke factory still maintained normal operations. It cannot be said that the demand of the SS played a big role in it. The new product that Xu Jun said is being developed is actually a substitute product made in the past because of the exhaustion of cola puree. This carbonated beverage that uses fruit juice instead of syrup is immediately gaining popularity. Recognized. Germany named this beverage Fanta, and its formula was immediately taken by the Coca-Cola Company for its own use after the war, showing how successful this beverage is.

Brauchic does not like to drink this strange taste, he still prefers handmade lemonade. The Field Marshal shrugged his shoulders and wanted to change the subject.

"My head, what do you think about the report sent by General Bock from the front?"

"The order is the order, the plan is the plan, of course, it's okay to cut off at the opportunity, but it must not become a normal state." Xu Jun stood up. He took over the military cap from Disenhofen and then started walking towards the door.

"I also think that Manstein is a little too irritable, but it is really unimaginable. We actually only spent such a short time. We hit the city of London." Blauchic was right next to Xu Jun, facing the room ten. After a few nodded officers nodded their heads, they walked out of the lounge that served as a screening room.

The speed of the German offensive really broke many people's glasses. Who would have thought that the British Empire was so vulnerable. It only took a week for the Germans to go from the beach landing to the imperial capital, and there was a cry of excitement in the media of various countries. The German Wehrmacht once again created a miracle in the history of world military affairs.

To be honest, Xu Jun was also a bit surprised by the rapid progress of the Germans, but he was not too surprised, because this situation had a precedent. London in front of him is really like Jinling in 1937.

It can even be said that the situation in the British Empire's capital at this time was even worse than that of Jinling. The British did not have hundreds of thousands of infantry to block the advance of the Germans, and there were no rivers and lakes to hinder the movement of the big corps. At the same time, the enemies facing the British were far more elite and powerful than the Japanese army at that time.

London’s geographical location determines her current situation. If the invincible British Royal Navy is still there, then there will be no problem at all. But once the British navy was defeated, London was equivalent to opening the door, and the imperial capital did not have any strategic depth.

The corps under the command of Bock had controlled the Thames estuary, part of the troops went up the river, and another part of the crossing was crossing the north line along the margin of east London. It is estimated that within 24 hours the Bock Corps will be able to meet with Guderian's assault group and complete the blockade of the city.

The British road transportation network played a decisive role in this battle. Without those railways and roads, the Germans would have difficulty completing such a large-scale corps transfer. Logistic problems alone would allow the headquarters staff to be reduced for several years. Life. The panic-stricken refugee wave of British civilians helped the Germans a great deal. The massive migration of millions of people disrupted the plans of the British wartime cabinet. The destruction and blocking of southern roads were still dead before the start.

The British National Self-Defense Force consumed the last point of the military reserve in the coastal area. In the Dover area, the last mobile corps was siege, which completely cut off the possibility of the British coming back. At this time, compared with the German troops that landed in the regular British military, even the stubborn resistance was difficult to guarantee. The Churchill government has taken out everything at the bottom of the box. This tenacious leader is still lucky, thinking that he can still have a chance to fight back, but he did not know that he had been sold by his colleagues.

The arrangement made by the eyes of Odin began to surface, proving that the golden flowers are indeed valuable. Undercurrents are now surging in the city of London. Pro-German public opinion has begun to spread secretly among the citizens. The previous hardliners have also ceased to stand up, and they no longer publish high opinions in the sky. Some people began to point at Churchill and the wartime cabinet, claiming that the British people were bewitched by these war fanatics. If it was not for the warmonger's vigorous advocacy of enemies with Germany, why would the British Empire fall into this field. Some discerning people found that the guy who issued this argument was still trying to tout the policy of the war cabinet half a month ago, preaching to fight the Germans in the end, never bowing to the evil dictator. Obviously these unruly guys are using this method to please the aggressors and find a way out for themselves.

The Luftwaffe has seized air supremacy in the south of the United Kingdom. In fact, the RAF fighter command has already survived at this time. Although the Royal Air Force still retains a considerable number of large aircraft groups, they are all old and slow bombers and twin-engine fighters. Apart from allowing German pilots to produce more trump cards, they have no effect on the war. British fighter manufacturers are mostly concentrated in the south of the UK. The most critical component production plants and R&D centers are now in the encirclement of the German army. The production of British aircraft has been completely stopped.

The Luftwaffe is planning to clear the remaining troops of the 12th RAF, and at the same time, it has begun to turn its targets to the 10th and 13th fighter groups. These two fighter groups, which in the view of the German headquarters are purely used to comfort the people, originally The strength is not good. After the defeat in the early stage of air combat, the backbone of the force was completely evacuated by Douding. At this time, there were only a bunch of empty squadrons. The number of fighters that could fly on hand did not add up to a large number of German fighter alliances.

However, the Eye of Odin reported that the 10th Flying Team had twenty of the latest fighter jets purchased from the United States. They had just been shipped to the United Kingdom two weeks ago and were operated by some hired American pilots. After receiving the intelligence, the Luftwaffe attached great importance to it and handed over the task of testing the strength of these opponents to the 51st Fighter Wing.

Fifty-first fighter wing did not dare to neglect, and immediately dispatched a large group of fighters. The commander who led the team was United captain Meldes. As a result, it was discovered that this fighter called the Tomahawk by the British was not an opponent of the German me109. On the same day, Merdes scored four shots down.

In the flight report, the super ace very politely stated that from the performance of this American aircraft in air combat, the British were obviously pitted by the Americans. Xu Jun abridged the report of Merdes and handed it over to the French side. After reading it, Bei Dang couldn't help but wiped a cold sweat, knowing that this batch of parallel goods was originally sold to them.
