In the United Kingdom, in a small conference room next to the Prime Minister ’s office, the most powerful people in Britain are holding an important meeting.
Under a huge portrait of the King of England, a minister pressed his hand to the conference table and said, "France and Germany are at war, isn't that what we always hope to see?"
"It is true, but we are even more reluctant to see the strong and westward Soviet Union kill a weak France and a weak Germany." Another politician in a suit said helplessly and said: "We are now, at least for now You need a slightly stronger Germany to hold the east gate for the whole of Europe, right? "
"Merkel ’s special envoy also assured us that they were preparing for a war with the Soviet Union and that the German team needed time to expand the number and equipment."
Churchill snorted coldly: "God! How many more staff and equipment do they have to expand? I bet they now have at least 2 million troops, double that of us. They promise you you still dare to use it as a reason, that All the assurances of the head of state proved to be a lie in the end! "
"You are the Minister of the Navy. In fact, you know the German threat to us the most! The last time their navy came out of the nest, they were scared away by our fleet." A minister said optimistically: "In fact, Germany We did deliver the two giant battleships we ordered, and the quality is also very good. At least in terms of naval cooperation, our two countries have a good precedent. "
"You can say that to the German high seas fleet." Churchill said angrily. "They don't build battleships because their heads of state put all their bets on the aircraft carrier. Our intelligence in Kiel Military Port The personnel found that they were building two more aircraft carriers. If the two were already under water, the Germans would have to build at least six aircraft carriers. This is not good news for us! "
"Churchill ’s worries are not unreasonable. I suggest accelerating the technical advancement of naval aviation. At least we can no longer let the Luftwaffe fighters over Europe do whatever they want." An old minister nodded and said, "This must be done as soon as possible. "
"The Army and Navy fighter programs have different levels of technical problems. The Navy insists on using Dapeng fighters with rotating turrets, but the Army is not satisfied with the same design of fearless fighters." A person in charge of technology introduced Road.
Churchill said displeasurely: "I have heard about naval matters, but we already know very well the fw-190d fighters that the Germans put into combat in Poland. The performance of this single-seat fighter is really good. The performance of our aircraft is very general. "
"We have smuggled two me-109c fighter jets exported from Germany from Spain. This fighter jet is very advanced, so I once suggested a large-scale imitation by the relevant departments. However, considering the various reasons for combat identification, many ministers also have The technical department insists on researching our own fighters.
The technical leader Hui Hui reported:
So we started to develop a new fighter project at that time, code-named 'Spitfire'.

As early as 1936, the British began to develop new fighters because of the stimulation of the Spanish Civil War. At the beginning, they chose the fearless and Dapeng fighters, which used unique turret designs-but many military personnel always feel that these aircraft Not as powerful as the German single-seat me-109c fighter.
So at the beginning of 1937, the British Rolls-Royce Company provided a greater horsepower aero engine. The new fighter project started at the same time, and a single-seat fighter jet called Spitfire was designed. This fighter has the speed and combat performance that it does not lose to the German fighter. Except for the complicated wings that make this aircraft expensive, there are almost no shortcomings.
However, the British also made corresponding changes compared to the German fighter. The British fighter used a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun as the main weapon. This is because after comparison between the British designer and the military, the German fighter 30 mm caliber head machine gun was equipped. The upper 20 mm caliber wing cannon has too little ammunition and is not suitable for prolonged air combat.
Having said that, I have to talk about the family design of the German aircraft advocated by the head of state. Under the leadership of Akado, the fw-190d fighter series was divided into two basic models from the beginning. One is the equipment liquid. The cold-altitude high-altitude interception fighter is equipped with a large-caliber cannon specifically for bombers; one is an air-cooled low-fighting fighter, equipped with a 30-millimeter machine gun and four 13-mm machine guns.
Obviously, British intelligence personnel have only seen the German high-altitude interceptor fw-190d fighter, so the British have always believed that the German Air Force ’s fighter jets have insufficient ammunition. In fact, the Luftwaffe pilots generally prefer the aircraft configuration with 4 machine guns, because they do not have to rush back to the base frequently to replenish ammunition and can stay in the air longer.
Therefore, the military is very satisfied with the design of this fighter, and has determined the purchase intention of 1,500 aircraft. However, this aircraft has progressed slowly due to the lack of senior designers. It dropped the first test flight a few months ago. This leaves the Spitfire a long time to go before entering service-during this time, the United Kingdom can only rely on the fearless and Dapeng against the German fw-190d fighter.
"Now I'm curious to know when this fire-breathing fighter that has just been tested will be available for service?" Churchill asked.
"If the test flight goes smoothly, and the military continues to invest money, it will be ready for use around the beginning of 1939," the man replied.
"The advice given by His Majesty's technical adviser is that before 1939, it is best for us not to have a head-on armed conflict with Germany and to avoid unnecessary losses to the Royal Army and the Royal Air Force." Another minister added: "And His Majesty the King and Mr. Prime Minister are more interested in luring Germany to the east."
"But now the head of state has mobilized the army to prepare for a crazy war with France, which is not in the fundamental interests of the capitalist countries." The British Chancellor of the Exchequer sighed helplessly: "I suggest we must contact Merck Er, let him find a way to persuade the one who lives in Germany to give birth first, and give up the crazy battle against France. "
"Will that head of state easily give up? After all, this time the French forces did launch a full-scale offensive. No one can easily tolerate such an attack." The Foreign Secretary obviously had no hope for such a plan at this time: "Not to mention that For sovereignty and nationalism and its extreme German heads of state. "
Churchill coughed twice: "I find it harder to convince the other side. The French suffered a big loss this time. They lost at least 2,000 people in this attack. In this case, they would easily give up revenge. What? "
"We both threatened and compensated and tried to complete the plan of His Majesty the King and the Prime Minister." The Chancellor of the Exchequer said after thinking about it: "We sanctioned the French economy and then promised the French to mobilize 10 army divisions and they would compromise ; On the other hand, we used the navy to block Wilhelmshaven and promised the Germans to smuggle a batch of rubber and steel to them. "
"Then there is nothing to be nervous about. They will always compromise when they do this. The European continent will not bleed and sacrifice when the Soviet Union attacks Poland." An old minister said hoarsely: "This time it was the French who left us alone Action, this kind of sign is a very bad omen, we might as well favor the Germans this time. "
Sure enough, the Germans did not let go this time. Head of State Akado issued a comprehensive mobilization order, announcing the completion of a comprehensive war preparation by 1939 and expanding the army to 3.5 million. Akado once again delivered a speech, claiming that France disregarded the big things and was behind the scenes, secretly supporting the communist subjective invasion of Europe.
However, the British diplomatic envoy contacted personnel from Germany ’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turkey. They promised Merkel to provide Germany with steel, rubber and oil, and asked Germany to cancel the war mobilization order and abandon its crazy plan to attack France.
But on the other hand, the French attitude relieved British diplomats. The French commander-in-chief assured the British that no more troops would be sent to stimulate Germany, and they were willing to provide convenience for the good offices of the British government. The French stationed in Luxembourg The troops retreated 10 kilometers back as a sign.
The rear of the French team eased the tension on the Western Front, and the Germans did not take advantage of the pursuit. They stopped in the border area and did not cross the German-French border and enter the Maginot line. This move clearly gave the British government a face. On the same day, a smuggling ship hung by the Turkish government set sail from a Mediterranean port under the watch of a German diplomat, and sailed to Wilhelmshaven, Germany, loaded with rubber.
Head of State Akado ’s posture once again achieved good results. The original goal of Germany to maintain the Western Front in 1938 was finally achieved with the help of the British government. The army general led by Brahich was relaxed for this. In one breath, Naval Commander Ryder, who was trapped in the William Junction, even wept with joy. He now fully believes that Akado is the soul of the German Navy.
A Western Front battle that was about to break out disappeared in this way. The Polish who hoped that the German and French wars finally believed in the fact that they had been betrayed. The French slightly fulfilled some of their ally obligations, but gave up at the last minute. Warsaw is now isolated and helpless, and the Soviet Union has also broken through the Soviet-Poor border without support. A large number of Polish refugees have poured into the German occupation area, because the Soviet Red Army from the East is obviously more fierce than the Germans.
At this moment, Akado is concerned about the expanded paratroopers in Studen. He split the original paratroopers from 1 division and 2 divisions, and distributed them to the newly established 5 new paratroopers divisions. Now these The troops are training hard at the foot of the Alps to practice their skills for the shocking future.
