Imperial Overlord

: Sixty-six 1 to the end



"Bastard! If it wasn't me that went crazy, it must be you people who reported the results of the air raids!" Churchill roared in despair to a large group of bureaucrats in his office.

Just now, just now, he learned part of the results of this Luftwaffe attack, but when he heard only half of it, he didn't have any mood to listen any more.

The anti-aircraft gun positions suffered the least loss, but also lost about 70 weapons and equipment of various calibers.

This is already a huge loss for the British army, which has just gone through the Dunkirk retreat and lost its heavy equipment.

At the same time, the Air Force airfields were attacked, and with the downed confrontation aircraft, the British lost more than 70 aircraft in just one engagement.

How to make up for this huge loss? No one has yet been able to tell Churchill, but these losses are just an appetizer for Churchill's anger.

What really made him despair was the remaining staple food! The Luftwaffe destroyed the British secret weapon radar, and wiped out the radar and the radar station, including the radar troops, in one go.

Radar production does not take long, but how long does it take to train qualified radar soldiers and establish corresponding radar stations?

Some people reported that for at least a month, Churchill threw the document on the other side's chest and asked loudly, "What will be left of Britain in a month?"

Yes, if you look at this bombing intensity, what will be left of Britain after a month? A piece of ruins and desperate and hungry civilians, just thinking about it makes people desperate...

If the loss of the radar made Churchill close to a runaway, then the attack on the airport and the aircraft parts factory made Churchill desperate.

Originally, the UK planned to produce 1,500 aircraft for combat use in August, but because of this air strike, this production plan now seems to be greatly reduced.

The manufacturer of the Spitfire's landing gear and some parts on the fuselage lost not only the workshop and equipment, but also half of the workers.

Likewise, the factory that was secretly supplying parts for the new bomber, the Lancaster Bomber, was attacked, almost completely out of production capacity.

And the Hampton bomber parts supplier also suffered heavy losses, losing almost one-fifth of its production capacity.

The most deadly thing here is the impact of the Spitfire. It is said that the production of the classic Spitfire will drop by at least one third in August because these parts cannot be supplied on time.

With so many planes being consumed, but not being able to replenish more planes, Britain's control of air supremacy has reached a precarious point.

"Sir! At the end of August, our fighter force may drop to 600." An Air Force officer reported a desperate conclusion.

The number of fighters available to the front line will be reduced by 100 a month. If the battle continues for 2 months, the loss of air supremacy is almost certain.

Of course, the actual situation may be better than this estimate, but who can guarantee that some hopeless changes will not happen again?

After Churchill heard the report, the blue veins on his forehead jumped, and he gritted his teeth for a long time before he could barely suppress his inner anger.

He had an urge to kill, and the aura of rage spread in his body, swallowing up the remaining reason.

"Traitor! This is definitely caused by spies leaking secrets!" A cabinet minister thumped the table angrily and yelled at several officers in the intelligence department.

It's hard for him to be hysterical. After all, even a fool can see that in this situation, the Luftwaffe knows the deployment of the British very well.

This is really well-known, and even some high-level British people can't remember things clearly. The Germans know it, and they know it in great detail.

The other party even knew about the British bomber production factory, the fighter jet parts factory, and the top-secret radar station hidden in the countryside.

"Sir, this is definitely not a departmental issue." An officer in charge of intelligence said rationally.

His colleague also nodded and continued, "There are so many departments involved this time, so many secrets, it is impossible for a certain department to fully grasp it."

It is absolutely reasonable to say this, because the hidden work of the factory is assigned to the industrial sector. Although the military also participates, only the aircraft manufacturing department can intervene.

However, the aircraft manufacturing department is only responsible for the management of the factory, and does not know much about the airport, so it is impossible to leak information about the exact location of the airport.

In the same way, there are indeed many officers who know the information of the airport, but not many of these officers know that there is a secret weapon such as radar, and it is even certain that there are people who know all the radar stations—not even a single one!

It's easy to say that those who know the factory and the airport know, but those who know the precise locations of all the radar stations... I'm afraid they'll have to ask Dooding and other air force generals for questioning.

This in itself is a hilarious paradox - if someone suspects that their air force commander is selling intelligence to an enemy country, is there anyone in this country who is not worthy of suspicion?

The turmoil about the British high-level spies that had just subsided was immediately fermented because of this air strike.

"A department can't be comprehensive, that is to say, the Germans have a complete intelligence network in our country?" Hearing what the intelligence department said, Churchill raised his eyebrows and asked fiercely.

This rhetorical question immediately made the entire office quiet, and everyone looked at their prime minister, not knowing what kind of **** storm they would face next.

Everyone knows that the leak of information about the sinking of the battleship Resolve and the damage to the H fleet has not yet been investigated. Now, in addition to the navy, the air force will also be caught in the intelligence turmoil.

Due to self-examination, the navy has not been able to get out of the shadows and respond to Germany's aggressiveness in the Mediterranean Sea.

Could it be that the Air Force cannot escape the influence of the censorship, and at this critical moment when the Germans launched a large-scale air raid on England, they should go all out to find a "house thief"?

When the thief is found, maybe the German army has already landed? At this time, investigating spies and spies, isn't it self-defeating?

But no one can say anything against it, because if this terrifying spy group is not found out, wouldn't any British countermeasures be seen by the Germans?

"What? Are you afraid of continuing to investigate? At this time, you are still afraid of investigating?" Churchill patted the table and asked loudly.

"Will the Germans know about our rebuilt radar station? What if the enemy makes another air strike?" He looked at all his men who were approaching his mouth and asked loudly.

"We have relocated the factory. If the relocated factory is bombed again, what will we do?" Seeing that no one spoke, he continued to ask.

The question he asked is also a question that everyone is worried about. The radar station is not a small project. After the time-consuming and laborious reconstruction, will it continue to be a target for the Germans?

The same goes for the relocation of factories. Although it can be moved further and further north, the amount of work can be staggering.

If it was time-consuming and laborious, in the end the Germans smashed the British spray cans in one go because of their intelligence advantages, and the war would not have to go on.

So this is an endless loop. Before the enemy spies are found, any reorganization of the counterattack can be said to be a waste of effort.

Even if one can't get it right, they will fall into the trap of the Germans, lose more troops, and send Britain into the pockets of the German army, putting the whole of Britain on a road of constant blood loss.

"It seems that this is a very hidden German spy organization, starting from the radar station! After all, there are only a few people who know this." The officer in charge of the intelligence agency suggested to Churchill.

Churchill didn't care anymore, he nodded and set the nature of the matter: "Don't just consider the background of these people, conduct a comprehensive investigation, including their political inclinations!"

If Churchill dared to mention it in the past, the intelligence services would probably refuse. After all, this kind of order with a serious political censorship tendency is suspected of hitting its own political enemies.

But now, Churchill's order makes everyone feel right. Such a shockingly huge spy network is no longer something the Germans can arrange themselves.

This is almost a huge force formed by some people in the UK ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ who took the initiative to collude with Germany!

"Pay attention to everyone who has mentioned surrender or peace talks, and if necessary, control it!" Churchill was so furious that he no longer cared about his own political bottom line.

"Sir, if the Air Force generals are to be reviewed, should General Dawding be temporarily isolated?" The officers of the intelligence department had to ask Churchill to confirm everything because of the importance.

"..." Churchill had the urge to slap people in the face. If Dowding was arrested at this time, who would direct the British air defense operations?

But he couldn't easily vouch for someone, and he wouldn't dare to guarantee the absolute safety of these generals if he took into account the political inclination and his approval of the German peace talks.

He has been made suspicious by the "German Intelligence Network", and now he can no longer correctly judge the loyalty of every British high-level executive.

So in his opinion, anyone could betray, and he even felt that if others saw him, he, the prime minister, would be suspicious.

Thinking of this, he had to give an order that made everyone in the office wide-eyed: "Check! Everyone should check! Start with me! Everyone should be checked!"

"Uh... as ordered, sir! Then, tomorrow I will bring someone to your office..." Seeing that Churchill was serious, the intelligence officer replied with a broken salute.
