In Finland, the Soviet army is still eyeing and attacking Finland. In North Africa, a counter offensive campaign is starting. In contrast, Western Europe, which was originally full of war, is now out of touch.
At the beginning, Chirac boasted that after fighting France, he would attack Britain immediately, but until now, the Germans have not started.
Although there are battles between the two sides, they are the most common.
Demining and mine clearance.
A British mine laying boat is carrying out mine laying operations in the Dover sea area.
The best way to block the Strait is, of course, to arrange mines!
In particular, Dover is closest to Calais. If the Germans launch an attack, it is easy to rush from here. Therefore, Britain must block the route!
This is a small boat with a displacement of only 500 tons. It is just laying mines. Moreover, there are no big guys in Britain now.
Captain John stood on the bridge and could see the other side from a distance. There, the ten thousand character flag had been flying.
At the tail, several sailors are loading the mine onto the track. Mine laying is very simple. As long as they arrange the mine, set the depth and other data, and then throw it directly.
"Damn it, we're just repeating useless work." Around John, the sailor at the helm could not help complaining.
This is repetitive and useless. Now, they come to the sea to lay mines every Monday, Friday, April and Saturday. German minesweepers will come here to clear mines. Now, both sides have reached a tacit understanding.
What's the use? The mines planted by our side will be swept away by the Germans the next day. Anyway, this is near the central line of the Strait and belongs to the public sea area.
The two sides tacitly agreed not to launch an attack. If the sky was clear, the shore guns of both sides would be enough to destroy the ships sailing in the Strait.
Of course, it may also be that the minesweeper is too small to use shore guns.
Just now, this kind of work is really boring.
Everyone knows that a big war will break out soon. If it breaks out, it's enough. But now, it's the tranquility before the storm. This sense of oppression makes people feel crazy.
German, come here!
"Don't complain, pay attention to the route." John said, "follow the route we arranged the day before yesterday and rearrange it again."
Anyway, it's useless to let the Germans sweep away.
"Yes." The helmsman said and turned the rudder. He has reached the predetermined sea area. The routine mine laying task has begun!
"Attention, prepare to mine, set the depth of three meters!" Cried John loudly.
Hearing his words, the sailors at the tail put their hands on the operating lever. As soon as they pushed the operating lever, the mine slipped down and fell into the sea with a pop. This scene is already a part of their life.
"Boom!" Just then, an explosion suddenly exploded at their feet.
What's going on? With the explosion, the whole mineboat shook violently, everyone was pale, and John shouted loudly.
"Report, we're thunderstruck!" At this time, a big hole had been opened in the bottom of the mineboat. Several sailors were in a hurry to control the damage. A few minutes later, they gave up their efforts.
The hull has begun to tilt, and their mine laying boat is about to sink. Helpless, John can only give orders to abandon the ship.
What's going on? When his body was soaked in the sea, when he patted his arm and was ready to swim back to Dover, he saw the mines still in the sea. Suddenly, he felt an old blood coming out.
damn! Yesterday, the German Minesweeper should have come to eliminate all these mines. Who knows, the German didn't eliminate mines. As a result, today, his Minesweeper hit the mine he laid the day before yesterday!
These Germans are really hateful! How can they pit themselves like this?
The Germans have always been the most rigorous. Now, it has become a law for both sides to mine and mine every day. Who knows, the Germans broke this law first!
Well, there must be a problem!
Swim back to Dover and report the news!
In the evening, Churchill, who was preparing to go back to dinner, received a report.
"We lost a mineboat." Admiral William Joseph slim said.
Hearing the news, Churchill only frowned briefly: "so what?"
It's just a minesweeper. Although the British navy has lost too much, they can bear the loss of a minesweeper in this level of battle. They don't have to report it to him at all. If he had to report any trivial matter to him, he would be dead tired.
"The Minesweeper was sunk by a mine laid by themselves." Slim continued: "it is unusual that the German, who has always been rigorous, did not remove mines on time."
Suddenly, Churchill understood: "the German general attack is about to begin?"
"Yes." Chief of staff Archibald then said: "we have been waiting for many days. The Germans have been mobilizing troops and deploying. We think the Germans are likely to launch a large-scale attack."
German minesweepers didn't go to clear mines on time. Maybe they were transferred to other places. They must pay attention to German every move!
"If the Germans want to attack, they should seize air control first?" Churchill said: "now, our air force, to enter the highest state of alert, dowdin, as the guardian of our British homeland, order our air force to be ready for the coming battle!"
Landing across the sea is not so easy. Before the coastal fortifications are broken and their own air force is destroyed, it is impossible for the Germans to cross the Strait on a large scale.
These days, Britain has rapidly built new fighters and recruited a large number of pilots. Isn't it waiting for this day? As long as the German attack is smashed from the air, it will buy more time for Britain!
Hearing Churchill's words, dowdin agreed. Although the air force for local defense is still insufficient, now they have no choice but to fight!
"Ladies and gentlemen, I must remind you that the Germans are quite cunning. We must not take it lightly. Especially now that the Germans have mastered the sea power, they may come from anywhere at any time, even in the direction of the Atlantic Ocean. We put our main force in the Strait and may be caught." Said dowdin.
The decline of the British navy has made it impossible for them to control the Atlantic. Now, the main force is concentrated in the East, because their power is limited.
