Reinhard suddenly felt that everything was going too smoothly recently, and it was so smooth that he could hardly believe it.
According to the battle reports coming back from the front line, among the British mainland defense forces, not only the National Guards surrendered to a very high degree, but even the remaining British regular army also surrendered in large numbers.
Now, Portsmouth has been successfully broken through, and the National Guard there is no match for the main German army.
In the direction of Dover, the French-Norwegian forces commanded by Weygand, with the help of the German navy and air force, fought vigorously, and even recently forced the British army's frontline headquarters in Dover to surrender.
In other words, the Allied forces achieved decisive breakthroughs in both landing directions. Next, there seemed to be no suspense about the outcome of the Battle of Britain.
At this pace, apart from victory, Reinhardt couldn't think of another possibility.
Taking over Britain means taking over the British Royal Navy fleet and a series of shipyards. The ocean combat capabilities of the High Seas Fleet of the Third Reich will thus be greatly enhanced and it will become a true "high seas" fleet!
The strengthened fleet may even have the strength to pose a threat to the United States!
Secondly, this is the key point that Reinhard has been pursuing from the beginning and laid out 20 years ago - Germany will no longer have any worries on the Western Front!
Militarily, the German army can invest more troops in other battlefields, and the benefits are obvious.
Politically, the French traitor Charles de Gaulle's Free France will no longer have any influence. And then, the Third Reich, which has defeated the two permanent members of the League of Nations, will naturally make the new League of Nations inherit the orthodoxy and exert its international influence.
and leadership.
Incidentally, without the British Isles, it will be difficult for the U.S. strategic counterattack to find a landing support point, which may eventually lead to the U.S. giving up on Europe.
Who can the United States fight against after giving up on Europe? Of course it is Japan in Asia!
In this way, everything will present the perfect situation that Reinhard hopes for most.
The most important thing is that after the fall of Britain, during the future Soviet-German war, the Soviet army will not be able to obtain the tens of thousands of aircraft, more than 20,000 tanks, and more than 80,000 transport vehicles that the United States and Britain historically provided it with.
Motorcycles, 130,000 tons of gunpowder, 100,000 submachine guns and more than 7,000 anti-aircraft guns will not become the capital of the Soviet army to expand its army.
What's more important is that the steel materials used by Britain and the United States to support the Soviet army's mass production of tanks will never reach the historical amount of more than two million tons!
Yes, anyone with any brains will find out from the data that it is no longer aid, this is just throwing a brick into the scale of war!
In the future, without this terrifying scale of American blood transfusions, even if the Soviet army dares to expand its troops as much as it did in history, they will not be able to provide enough equipment for the troops. An army without guaranteed weapons and equipment will not be as good as the British National Guard.
Very different, just a group of militiamen.
The reason why Reinhard was so sure that the Soviet Union would not be able to obtain this batch of supplies after the British defeat was not simply reverse reasoning.
On the one hand, Britain is gone, and British and American aid can only be called American aid at best.
On the other hand, Britain had not defeated the German army and could only use the airports, including ports, provided by the Norwegian allies on the Navia Peninsula, and use space and submarines to intercept the famous Arctic Ocean route.
This route leads to the Soviet Arctic Ocean port of Murmansk and is an important blood transfusion route. However, once the British Isles also became the sphere of influence of the Third Reich and the Imperial Navy took over the ports of the British Royal Navy, this route
It was also scrapped.
As for the Black Sea route, after the fall of Britain, how long can Egypt persist? Sooner or later, it will break away from the broken ship of the British Empire, unless of course it sinks to the bottom of the sea with the British Empire.
But in any case, this route leading to the Soviet Black Sea port of Novorossiysk is basically in a semi-scrap state.
The Germans have no control over the Pacific route. But as long as Japan and the United States go to war, they will not let the American fleet attack the Sea of Japan and land in the Siberian region of the Soviet Union.
This is also an important reason why Reinhardt has yet to break up with Japan. Without the huge strength of the Japanese Navy and the US Navy, it would be too easy for the United States to transfuse blood for the Soviet Union on the Pacific route.
Finally, there is the not-so-famous but effective Iran route. As long as Reinhardt destroys Churchill, it will be impossible for Fatty Qiu to organize Commonwealth forces to overthrow the pro-German regime in Iran. In that case, the Iran route will be gone.
It's over.
But the key now is...will things really develop in the direction Reinhardt hopes for?
The future imagined by Reinhard is naturally bright.
This kind of picture of a bright future was also done by the German head of state in history. According to Reinhardt, the head of state finally committed suicide in the basement...
Now that the "Sea Lion Project" is being launched, Reinhardt is all looking for opportunities where the U.S. neutrality policy was still very popular some time ago.
In the United States, a large number of members of the Senate are staunch supporters of isolationism. In addition, there are many American consortiums involved with German capital, traditional conservatives, and it can be said that there are many forces in the United States that often create various public opinions.
Influence public sentiment and put pressure on the president.
Under the influence of isolationist forces inside and outside Congress, Roosevelt followed isolationism everywhere during his last term.
If we can make good use of this God-given opportunity and get rid of the British supporter before the United States joins the game, then the Third Reich will have to compete with the United States, and only a powerful navy will be enough.
As for the Imperial Army liberated on the Western Front, it can also go to major battlefields to compete for world hegemony.
Now, Reinhard is just worried about whether this most critical step can continue to go smoothly to the moment of curtain call as before.
Once the Sea Lion Project ends successfully, the next script will not be difficult.

"Of course we can't let that blond bastard Reinhardt have his way!"
Soviet Union, Moscow, Kremlin Palace.
Sitting in the chief position in the center, Stalin beamed with satisfaction and said: "It is not easy to pretend to be blind. Fortunately, the idiot head of state in Germany is too self-righteous and treats everyone except him as a fool.
.”
"Now, it's time for the Germans to understand what a stupid mistake it was to ignore us!"
Khrushchev, who had successfully withdrawn from Ukraine and no longer had any interest in the Soviet-German cooperative, was also in high spirits at the moment. As soon as Stalin finished speaking, he jumped up from his seat and shouted: "Under the great Stalin
Under the leadership of the General Secretary, thousands of Red Army soldiers will surely accomplish all goals and let the Soviet flag fly on the Reichstag in Berlin!"
Stalin and Khrushchev did not say this on a whim. In fact, on the desks of everyone present there was a document that was previously strictly confidential.
The name of this document is called "Thunderstorm Plan"!
