Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 247

Chapter 247 Do not insult Mr. Meyer

 “I'll interrupt you and I'll return to Jin Province in half a chapter.”

The eye of the storm of the world war, outside a gorgeous official residence.

 A fat man, a 240-pound fat man to be precise, walked slowly and slowly into the legendary "palace" in front of him with heavy steps.

The cost of building this office building is extremely high. Although the work only took one year and the construction progress was extremely fast, the construction cost was enough to buy two hundred loaves of bread.

It is a symbol of power and a building that doubles as propaganda, with color photos of the sumptuous marble hall frequently appearing in the country's newspapers.

 “Your Excellency, Marshal!”

 The big fat man waved his hand, signaling the guards to continue their work.

He is very familiar with this place and has visited it an average of more than a dozen times a month since the war began. Coupled with his special status, he can barely be regarded as a half-master.

After entering the gate with your head held high, you will see the rectangular flower hall.

 The transparent ceiling decorated with glass on the top of the building allows sunlight to shine through the entire hall without any obstruction.

The bright sunshine is just like the fat man's mood. During this time, he fought a victorious battle and successfully dealt with the enemies who threatened his oil fields.

Even at sea there was a bumper harvest, with the Air Force boys taking out 3 cruisers, 6 destroyers and several small craft. Returned damage to 1 aircraft carrier, 2 battleships, 4 cruisers and 6 destroyers.

Thinking of this, the fat man curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Logically speaking, all the ships on the sea can fly reconnaissance aircraft. Now that you can take off and land the plane! It should belong to the Air Force sequence.

“Sooner or later, I will seize the Zeppelin aircraft carrier!”

“As for those surface ships, let's see if Redel, the old dog, is obedient! But he seems to have been tortured by Dönitz. The wolves are really interesting.”

 Fatty was a man who said countless harsh things in his life, and even changed his name because of it.

He once wanted to intercept the enemy with air force, but the opponent directly staged an epic retreat. I once wanted to use air strikes to make the enemy surrender, but it ended up being a backdrop in the air battle.

 Later, supplies were promised to the armies on the Eastern Front and North Africa, but not even half of the amount was delivered.

 But he really did it to destroy Redel.

 While talking to himself, the fat man walked through the flower hall. At the end is a wall decorated with geometric marble. In the center of the wall is a second door leading to the interior.

 After entering the door, there is a small round hall with only a dim big light at the top for illumination.

 Normally, when normal people suddenly enter a small, dark room such as a basement from a large and bright space, they will feel trapped in darkness and disoriented.

 As a result, the guilty visitor will be involuntarily nervous and frightened.

 Theoretically speaking, Fatty is a frequent visitor, not to mention that he has recently won a battle, so there should be no feeling of panic.

 After entering the small rotunda, he began to sweat uncontrollably. A large amount of sweat flowed from his forehead to his neck, and an ominous premonition still arose, as if to warn him to be careful next.

 “How could this happen? Why am I afraid!”

“I am a strong man who is inferior to one person but superior to ten thousand people. What can scare me?”

 But a series of autosuggestions had no effect. The fat man hurriedly took out a pill bottle from his coat pocket and swallowed a few small pills before recovering.

 After resting for a while, he continued walking forward.

 In front is a marble gallery 200 meters long and 12 meters wide. This place is modeled after the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. There are many famous paintings placed inside, which shows that the designer has a certain pursuit of art.

 While walking in the gallery, Fatty's mood and emotions became much more stable.

 It feels like everything has returned to the time before 1940, when my family was invincible.

“I don't know why you came to me today.”

“The Battle of Crete has just ended, maybe we are discussing the arrangements for the next eastward march. If so, then I have to put forward some conditions to obtain more resources for my air force.”

 Five minutes later, the fat man tidied up his appearance. After confirming that everything was normal, he slightly adjusted the position of the medal on his chest, took a deep breath and walked into the office.

The entire office is very tall and spacious, giving people a majestic feel.

The decoration here is extremely luxurious, and even the chandeliers are from the most expensive brands in the world. All kinds of leather sofas, carpets, coffee tables, and seats are almost all flown from all over the world.

 It is worth mentioning that there are many oil paintings in the interior. It can be seen that the owner here is obsessed with art.

 “Are you here? Sit down.”

"I only prepared boiled water for you. This is the old rule."

“Friends, relax, today is a private gathering. It's only May, why are you sweating so much?”

After hearing what the other party said, the fat man silently pulled out a chair and sat across from his partner. Due to the relaxed opening remarks, he gradually returned to his previous form.

 After a few seconds of silence, the person opposite took out a photo.

The protagonist in the photo is standing in front of an old-fashioned biplane fighter. He is wearing an Air Force coat and leather boots. With a cane in his hand and a devilish smile on his face, he can be called a handsome guy.

After taking the photo, Fatty fell into memories for a moment.

At that time, he was young, handsome, courageous, dared to fight and charge, and even dared to falsely report his achievements.

During World War I, I experienced more than a dozen air battles, large and small. Even if the rudder was damaged and the aircraft body was seriously damaged, I would still try my best to drive the car back.

Although his performance is far from that of the Red Baron, he survived long enough to take over the former's formation.

At that time, he was a legend in the Air Force and an iron man among everyone.

 Suddenly, an emotionless voice interrupted Fatty's memories and roughly brought him back to reality.

 “Is this photo of you?”

 The two are old acquaintances, and theoretically everyone knows the answer to the question. But since the other party asked, there must be some deep meaning.

After thinking about it, the fat man still didn't understand, so he could only answer honestly: "It's me."

I never thought that the people in front of them were not reluctant, not only stood up from the seat, but also took the photo to their faces and continued to ask, "Really?"

 The clay figurine still has a certain amount of anger, let alone a fat man who comes from a traditional aristocracy.

Being questioned like this can already rise to the level of humiliation. But in order to gain more resources, he could only answer patiently: "It's me! At that time, I was still very thin."

Perhaps the thin man broke some kind of seal. The person opposite him first sat back on the chair, and then took off his glasses with trembling hands.

 “I'm so angry! This is not you!”

“The person I know! He's the marshal of the country! Not Meyer who stays in a luxurious villa all day and only knows how to enjoy life!”

 After hearing the word Meyer, the fat man immediately blushed.

This level of humiliation is simply like Huanghe selling French equipment to the French.

 What's more, his weight soared because he blocked a shot for the opponent in a beer hall.

While receiving treatment, he had to use analgesics and other drugs to relieve the pain, which eventually led to him being inseparable from all kinds of lollipops.

Before the fat man could speak, the person opposite continued to curse:

“Ever since the beginning of the war on the Western Front! You have been making mistakes! Are you going to blame Rundstedt for the failure of Dunkirk?”

“What about the Battle of Britain? Are you saying that it was Catherine who made the plan to bomb the city? What about Operation Mercury on Creek Island? The most elite paratroopers suffered heavy losses! Who will bear this responsibility!”

 “You are really disappointing me more and more! Where is that high-spirited war hero back then?”

 Although he was scolding, it was obvious that the owner did not want to scold him too harshly.

 Fatty was in the most difficult period. His old brother who sold his property and invested in shares took a bullet for him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the friendship was a life-long one.

What's more, the other party's achievements are unparalleled.

 After World War I and before World War II, what was the level of our own air force? After the outbreak of World War II, it was almost able to defeat the previous military powers, all of which were inseparable from the efforts of the fat man.

In the early days of the Battle of Britain, as soon as there were signs of defeat, the opponent went to the frontline airport to inspect. Being able to do this shows that he is somewhat ambitious.

Moreover, it is impossible to remove someone from office despite scolding. After all, we don't have enough manpower, and those Junker nobles are more difficult to manage each one. Now the war is unstoppable. Once the front line is not going well, he will replace him as soon as possible!

 Field marshal? Just a wage earner.

 The degenerate fat man in front of him is his direct confidant and one of the original shareholders!

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the other party lowered his head to be scolded, the principal calmed down and continued:

“I am not removing you from your position, nor am I going to operate on you. I hope you can put down your work temporarily, find a quiet place to quit lollipops, and lose weight at the same time.”

"Your energy has been diverted by too many complicated things. During your rest days, you should think carefully about how to do better in the next war."

"I promise! I will keep your position for you! The war on the Eastern Front cannot leave you."

 After experiencing a barrage of torture, Fatty's eyes shone brightly, as if he had returned to the battlefield of World War I.

 He thought about a lot of things in an instant, and his current situation was not very good. Although a large amount of territory was occupied, just suppressing the resistance was troublesome enough.

What's more, oil is also a talisman. If the eastward movement cannot be effective in a short time, it will definitely be dragged into the quagmire.

 The current prosperity, wealth, power and power are all based on victory. Once the empire falls, everything becomes a thing of the past.

 “Okay! I'll lose weight and give up lollipops!”

“Before I leave my post, I would like to make several requests to you. First, we need a long-range air force! Fighters and dive bombers can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield.”

“Two! Let that **** Zeppelin carrier be completed! The progress is less than ten percent! Air force alone cannot conquer the enemy. We need Zeppelin, Tirpitz battleship, and Bismarck battleship to form a fleet!”

 After hearing these words from the fat man, the real owner was trembling with excitement! The two seem to have returned to the early days of entrepreneurship!

 “Okay! I'm waiting for you to come back! Marshal of the country!”

 Thirty kilometers above Yangquan, above the C47 Skytrain.

 In order to cut off the escape routes of the Japs in Jin Province, the 1st Marine Regiment divided into three groups and went to various target points.

Three commanders, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Xing Zhiguo, each led a team. They cooperated with friendly forces in the first round of offensive and successfully captured Niangziguan Railway Station, Jincheng Airport and Yuncheng Airport.

 After returning to the regiment headquarters, everyone took a short rest and set off immediately.

The mission targets of the second round are Pingxing Pass, Zijing Pass and Yangquan. As long as these three key points are captured, the enemies in the entire Jin Province will be spoiled. The devils will have wings even if they give up all their heavy weapons and go into battle lightly. Can't escape.

 It is worth mentioning that due to the rapid action of various units of the 129th Division, only a small number of communication lines were damaged.

The soldiers also captured a large number of pack animals, trucks and a small number of trains. Even those damaged mechanical transport vehicles could be reused with minor repairs after the war.

 In the cabin of the transport plane, Commander Li was reading a report on the Battle of Crete. Since he was transferred to the paratrooper, Lao Li's learning attitude has improved to a higher level.

Whenever there is a large-scale parachute operation in any region of the world, he will always use various channels to obtain battle reports.

  The next step is to compare the combat modes and combat processes of both sides and learn from each other's strengths to improve the existing deficiencies of the First Marine Regiment.

 Among them, various newspapers and periodicals in border areas are the most important channels. Even though TG is located in the mountains, it still has a copy of all major international news, but the timeliness is not good.

 The Free French side will also find a way to send a detailed report on major battles.

Looking at Li Yunlong who was studying tactics seriously, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but said:

“Captain, how's your research going? Can't you see what's going on? If it doesn't work, I'll help you analyze it.”

“Although I didn't watch the specific process, I saw the casualty figures clearly. The foreigners' tactics were really not as good as those from the Republic of China.”

 Since the establishment of the First Marine Regiment, the best commanders and fighters in the entire military region have gathered together.

In addition, healthy competition was encouraged in the regiment. In order not to embarrass the original and new second regiment, Zhang Dabiao naturally followed his regiment leader to study cultural courses and military skills hard.

 After hearing the words of the first battalion commander and chief of staff, Li Yunlong did not answer the question directly. Instead, he directly handed the battle report in his hand to the other party.

“You should take a look at it first, we will summarize it later.”

“I have to admit that a strong military country has enough confidence. If we do this, the deputy commander-in-chief will probably be heartbroken to death.”

 Five minutes later, the two used the time before they arrived at their destination to start communicating.

 According to intelligence, the average age of the paratroopers in Desan is less than 19 years old, and the per capita education level is more than one level higher than that of their comrades.

 But the 1st Marine Regiment also has its own advantages. The training time of the soldiers is three times longer than that of the opponent.

  The first batch of paratroopers had to undergo more than half a year of ground training, plus ten parachute trainings before they were allowed to go to the battlefield.

And due to the excellent matching mechanism on the Asian battlefield, the 1st Marine Regiment does not need to deal with the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower network in most missions.

Even enemy planes will be dealt with first by the escorting Air Division.

The paratroopers of Ke De San were in a worse situation. Their bulky transport aircraft could easily become the best targets for ground firepower.

 In order to avoid being scooped up in the air before landing. They could only take the easy way out and let the paratroopers start parachuting from a higher position to reduce the exposure time of the transport aircraft in front of the ground fire network.

This has become a vicious cycle. In order not to become a target for ground combatants, paratroopers hanging in the air usually choose to land in an area slightly farther from the target.

 Such a tactic caused the paratroopers who landed to spend a long time looking for their own large units, thereby missing the best opportunity to attack.

Of course, in the Battle of Crete, Desan's paratrooper tactics have been updated and iterated once.

In the response plan given by Stuart, he chose to use the more durable Aunt Juncker to focus on airdrops. Start parachuting 120 meters above the ground and quickly complete the assembly after landing.

It's just that the Desan's parachute has technical problems. Once the weapon is carried, non-combat casualties will occur due to weight.

In order to reduce casualties, Stuart required ordinary soldiers to carry only one pistol, one or two grenades and spare bullets, while officers and non-commissioned officers were allowed to carry paratrooper-specific submachine guns.

 As for rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars, grenades and various ammunition, they were all placed in boxes and delivered together with the paratroopers.

Although the separation of man and gun reduces non-combat damage, soldiers can easily engage in firefights with the enemy before getting their main weapons, and eventually die on the battlefield due to insufficient firepower and ammunition.

 This problem, the 1st Marine Regiment came up with a better solution after experiencing the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.

That is, before the paratroopers carry out large-scale airdrops, glider troops should be dispatched to send heavily armed soldiers carrying heavy weapons to the paratrooper landing area in advance to clear and occupy the enemy's fire points.

In the Battle of Crete, Germany suffered more than 6,000 casualties in total, of which 75% were paratroopers, and nearly half of various transport and combat aircraft were also lost.

 The main reason for the tragedy was that the intelligence organization led by the British was more powerful and intercepted the enemy's combat plan through Ultra before the battle began.

At that time, there were more than 40,000 Allied soldiers stationed on Crete. After receiving the information, they immediately strengthened the defense forces near the airport and along the northern coastline.

Before Tokuzo's paratrooper division landed, the Allied forces on the ground were already sharpening their knives and preparing to welcome uninvited guests.

 Finally, one thing I have to mention is that there was strong wind on the day Operation Mercury was carried out.

 As soon as the paratroopers jumped out of the transport plane, they were blown all over the sky. Some unlucky ones even fell directly into the sea or onto the enemy's position, dying meaninglessly.

Even their division commanders and staff officers crashed on the road, and no one in the entire frontline top command system survived before the war started.

“We can win even in such a chaotic situation. I have to say that the tactical literacy of Desan's soldiers is really high.”

Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Li Yunlong rolled his eyes helplessly. Then he took out a piece of paper and began to record what he had just gained, ignoring the turbulent environment of the plane.

“First, we must pay attention to the confidentiality of intelligence, and even actively try to monitor the enemy's intelligence, and strive to beat the snake seven inches away.”

“Second, you must pay attention to the weather before performing the mission. When encountering extreme weather, you need to decide whether to return based on the importance of the mission.”

 In fact, the current Marine Corps has reached the threshold of the highest combat capability of paratroopers during World War II.

The only shortcoming is the lack of armor and advanced communications equipment.

　　　D3+5, there is no shortage of resources. The naval battle that everyone wants may be available earlier.

You all here may have some obsession with Desan's navy.

For airborne tanks, you can only choose lords. Halifax and Hamilcar happen to be leaders, so you can also use national policies and scientific research.

Radio and other scientific research slots, it is not particularly urgent at this stage, and we will squeeze a wave of directors when the time comes.

Today's fishing was not very smooth. I originally wanted to write 6K, but I ran out of time.
