Chapter 412 The Minister of the Navy

Historically, the Luftwaffe had thoughts about Capa.

When the war began, as Europe was tense, Britain pulled France to guarantee Poland's security, feeling the need to station troops in Scapa Bay just in case.

Therefore, Britain sent 44 warships, including 6 battleships, battleships and an aircraft carrier to Scapa Bay.

However, the facilities were still not in time for renovation, and anti-aircraft guns were in short supply.

Later, when the British Navy saw the performance of the Luftwaffe in Poland, he felt that Scapa Bay was not safe enough and the German planes quietly moved before they even came to bomb.

As a result, when the Luftwaffe flew in to attack on October 17, he only saw the command ship modified by the Iron Duke, which threw a few bombs but did not sink. He could not find the fleet, and the Luftwaffe was too lazy to come.

Later, the British Navy completed the defense project of Scapa Bay and returned to Scapa Bay in March 1944 to prepare for the Norwegian battle.

At this time, the number of anti-aircraft guns in Scapa Bay had increased to about 80, with searchlights and blocking balloons in place. They fought many times. The Luftwaffe felt that Scapa Bay could not be gnawed and gave up the idea of ​​air strikes.

Now, it is very different from history. After Churchill became the Minister of Navy, he felt that Scapa Bay was unsafe, so he transferred all the fleet. Now Churchill has just become the Minister of Navy and has no point of making any moves, so he was attacked there.

"There is no way out for appeasement to Germany. Now, the Germans have told us with bloody facts that after conquering Poland, the next target of the Germans will be us." Churchill's tone was cold.

Germany will definitely not go to war with the Soviet Union first. Just look at how Poland is divided. Germany and the Soviet Union have reached a secret agreement! Otherwise, how could the two sides destroy Poland so tacitly!

What follows? The Germans attacked their own naval bases and the navy suffered serious losses!

A big battle is imminent.

From the perspective of body shape, Churchill is a fat man with a strong aura, while Chamberlain is a thin man. At this time, Chamberlain's hair on his forehead has turned white.

If there were all kinds of fantasies in the past, then now, with the German airstrike of Scapa Bay, all of Chamberlain's fantasies have disappeared.

The Germans will never give up on their next actions. The current air strike is just the beginning!

What will the Germans do?

What should we do?

After saying this, Churchill took a deep sip of the cigar and continued, "Now, we must be prepared for the arrival of a great war."

When Chamberlain sucked Churchill into his wartime cabinet, Chamberlain's own status gradually declined. Now, Chamberlain seems to have become a vassal, and Churchill becomes the protagonist.

Chamberlain was in a mess and he couldn't think of a definite plan. At this time, Churchill had already considered all kinds of response measures.

Next, we will face a world war!

World War I lost a whole generation of youth. After World War I, Britain's peace-loving call was quite high. No one wanted to fight again. People always threatened those who broke out in war and were disgusted by people.

But now, when war is approaching, those who have made war warnings have been proven to be correct and they are more respected.

Churchill is like this now.

The war is coming, Churchill is the calmest person!

"First of all, we need to reinforce France." Churchill said: "Now the German air strikes are just the beginning. Next, the Germans will definitely advance westward and occupy France. We must reinforce France and win this land war."

Historically, after Germany fought against Poland, it did not immediately attack France, but swept across other countries first. This is related to Germany's strategy. For example, if Germany needs Sweden's iron ore and Norway's ports, it must first capture Norway.

But now, the situation is different. The iron ore imported from the Soviet Union has been piled into mountains in German steel mills. For at least one year, Germany will not have to worry about iron ore.

Relying on the current power, we first swept across Britain and France, but then we are still afraid that those small countries will not obey?

Churchill, of course, also saw this. Germany's next goal must be France, and Britain needs to support France with all its strength!

Since war is inevitable, we must find a way to defeat Germany.

The people present nodded. Now, Britain and France must unite.

Churchill was very dissatisfied. When Germany attacked Poland with all its might, the entire western region was as weak as a piece of paper, and it was broken with one stab. As a result, the British and French troops were afraid to take action!

If I had done it at that time, I might have been able to fight until Berlin.

Fortunately, it is not too late enough now. As long as you keep France, you will keep hope.

"Secondly, we must retaliate and use a victory to boost our morale," Churchill continued.

The navy in Scapa Bay was almost wiped out. The news has not spread yet. The people only knew that their side had been attacked, but they did not know how serious it was.

By tomorrow, German newspapers should be exaggerated. At that time, the people will be angry and afraid.

Revenge must be taken and victory must be used to boost morale!

Churchill has planned a new victory?

What victory?

If it is clearest, it should be the attack on the German fleet. However, after the crushing defeat in Scapa Bay, a group of our own warships have been destroyed. The remaining ones may not be as good as the German fleet. If they go to war rashly, they may be defeated by the other side.

As for dispatching the air force and using the same tactical air strikes as Germany, the Air Force Minister shook his head, which was even more impossible.

"We dispatched Egyptian air force to bomb German oil fields in Libya," Churchill said.

When everyone heard Churchill's words, they were stunned. What a joke? There are American shares in it. Isn't this kind of bombing going against the Americans?

"The main forces in Germany are mechanized troops now. Their oil source is mainly Libya. As long as we destroy Libya's oil fields, Germany will lose that terrible offensive ability." Churchill said: "We cannot be afraid of the heads and heads. Americans will make a choice. When a world war occurs, Americans should stand on our side."

"We must be determined and not hesitate anymore. At the same time, we must also rent some warships with the United States." Churchill continued: "Our navy cannot lose its ability to control the sea because of this bombing. We must quickly restore our strength."

Frying oil fields will at most offend several American oil merchants, and most Americans will still stand on the British side and will also rent American warships!
