Imperial Overlord

In fact, at this time, the German country was very rich, because after the defeat of this war, France had to pay Germany a large sum of money in reparations.

Moreover, France has to provide military expenses for the German garrison in the German occupation area, which is also a lot of money.

This is also the reason why France is still reluctant to join forces with the Germans: although the British are not loyal, the Germans don't seem to be good people.

France has to repay more than 10 billion francs of war reparations over the years, and a large part of these war reparations have been used to pay the original debts.

The remaining part was also used to purchase military supplies, and there was no spare money for Li Le to squander.

Because Li Le was two days late in time travel, the treaty for the surrender of France had already been signed, and he had no ability to interfere with such a contract that had already been finalized.

The seeds of hatred between France and Germany have been planted, and now it is too late to talk about friends. They can only bring the might of a great victory to tie France to their chariot.

There is also an advantage of doing this, that is, there is no need to talk to the French, because France is not an equal ally in terms of status.

"How much money is left for the French's reparations that have not been paid in advance?" Li Le raised his head and asked his economic officials.

He really wants to release that economic genius Schacht from prison now, but now Schacht is no longer with him.

It is obviously more dangerous and out of control to use a smart person with ulterior motives than to use a stupid hand.

In the financial field, Li Le has no ability. If Schacht is careful, he can't even supervise or predict danger, so at this time he can only use the mediocrity in front of him.

"My head of state, we still have about 20 million francs left in our hands. Although this amount of money seems to be quite a lot... but it does not seem to be much used in the general direction." A leading official answered Li Le. if.

Li Le also knew that although this money could allow the Navy to start construction of some transport ships, but after spending all this money, he could really say that he was bankrupt.

"Since the army is still idle in Italy, I have to find a way to find something for these idle troops!" Li Le looked at his economic officials and said to himself in his heart.

He now seems to be a leader who has lost all his wealth to become a bandit. He has won over his subordinates and recruited troops to buy horses. Now he has no money, there is only one cottage and one vote of his subordinates.

At this time, it's time to go down the mountain to loot. This is the way.

"This matter is here first. I need you to stabilize the economy as much as possible and continue the projects that have been rolled out! This point cannot be shaken. Do you understand what I said?" Li Le instructed them.

All the people raised their right hands and said goodbye to Li Le, "As ordered! My head of state!"

When all these people left, and Bowman walked in with a group of waiters carrying a plate of lush vegetables, Li Le remembered that he should have lunch.

"Führer! Your lunch!" Although Li Le was a little desperate looking at the plates of vegetables and potatoes, Bowman didn't know about it.

After he waited for the waiters to leave, he stood beside Li Le and said, "My head of state, we attacked the bombing of London the next day, and the British also did not send fighter jets to intercept it!"

It seems that Germany's strategy of bombing London to lure the British Air Force into battle seems to have been seen through by the other party. In this case, Li Le has no good way to save the Luftwaffe, which has now lost its offensive target.

"We can't draw such a conclusion yet. Let's bomb for two more days and see what the British think!" When Li Le had no choice, he had no choice but to continue his tactics to lure the enemy.

"I understand, I'll go to inform Marshal Goering and Marshal Kesselring." Bowman said.

Li Le absentmindedly used a fork to deal with the glutinous potatoes in front of the noodles, nodded and said, "Very good! If we want to destroy the British air force, we must find a way to deceive them!"

…

Just when Li Le and Bowman were both depressed about the British Air Force's disrespect, Churchill was staring angrily at General Hugh Dowding in the Air Force Command in London.

He gritted his teeth, lowered his voice resentfully, and asked Dawding: "As the commander of the Royal Air Force, you actually watched your capital be destroyed by the enemy?"

Two consecutive days of bombing have brought disaster to London. Because the British Air Force refused to fight, the Germans were able to take out their chosen targets with more precise bombing than ever before.

These goals were not chosen arbitrarily, because London, unlike other capitals, also has numerous important factories and facilities.

German bombs bombed swaths of residential areas, but more bombs fell on factory roofs.

The loss of production capacity in the United Kingdom in the past two days is not small at all, and it has even reached the point where Churchill and even His Majesty the King are a little desperate.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I don't think we can change our strategy at this time! We have to preserve our strength and hold on until the German Air Force's morale is low and the attack is scattered, and then we will launch a counterattack!" Dawding answered Churchill's low roar.

The office is still very bright now, because the sunlight outside the window is very bright. But this bright weather is not good weather for the British Air Force.

They long for a long period of severe weather to give them respite and redeployment.

"The secret radar station that only I know is being repaired. It is estimated that it will be put into use in a month...Because it is absolutely confidential, there are not many construction workers. This is the fastest speed." Churchill is still very angry. , he continued to report on his recent work.

Churchill stretched out his hand, pressed it on the table, and interrupted his report: "The fighter unit must interfere with the bombing of German aircraft. This is a task that the Air Force must complete. If you don't follow the order, I will replace it!"

Now Churchill has no choice. He was elected Prime Minister in a state of war in Britain and faced many problems of this kind.

During his tenure, the Germans sank British battleships, defeated the British Expeditionary Force, and now even the Mediterranean Sea is divided by the enemy.

In the face of such a bad situation, he must have an inspiring victory, or he must have the courage to continue to let the compatriots of the motherland continue to persevere.

And this kind of courage is not reshaped by passive avoidance. His army's morale is now rock bottom, and his air force is timid in front of the Germans!

"Mr. Prime Minister! The Air Force has restored the number of fighter jets to the level of 600, and we are already trying our best to prepare for a counterattack!" Dawding is now also indescribably depressed.

After all, the 13th Aviation Group, which he originally served as a strategic reserve, has been transferred to the Southeast region.

The 11th Aviation Group, which was originally stationed in the southeast of the UK, is still reorganizing its own troops and is not yet capable of combat.

Dawding really wanted to grab Churchill by the collar now and question him who made his original arrangement messed up like this.

Churchill couldn't hold back his breath when he heard Dawding say that he had as many as 600 planes: "The Air Force has hundreds of planes, but can't even take off 200 planes to intercept the Germans?"

The Prime Minister clapped the table and gave an order to Dawding: "Tomorrow! If the Germans continue to attack London, you must dispatch fighter jets and start a decisive battle with the Germans!"

When the German air raid on London was carried out, the British fighter force also carried out the most tenacious interception in history. The two sides engaged in a spectacular aerial battle over England, so Churchill now ordered Dowding to fight back, not for nothing.

The only thing that has changed is that the current radar early warning system in the United Kingdom no longer exists, so the British Air Force cannot yet achieve the purposeful interception of the Luftwaffe.

But Churchill, who was neither a technician nor an Air Force commander, did not understand how passive the Air Force under Dowding was now.

But as the prime minister, he knew that the king and countless officials were dissatisfied with him now, and he had to give himself a chance to breathe at this time.

"Do you know how much pressure I have to face? If you think you can't ensure the safety of the British airspace, then it should be possible to ensure the relative safety over London, right?" Churchill looked at the other party's eyes and asked.

"..." Dowding also knew that Churchill was under a lot of pressure, because he also experienced the same pressure. So he had no way to answer Churchill's words, and no way to refuse the request.

"Buy another day. If it is determined that the Germans are not enticing us to fight, but are really preparing to destroy London, then I will order the fighters to fight, how?" Insurance plans come.

Churchill looked into Dawding's eyes, nodded for a long time and said to Dawding: "I trust your ability, and I know that the Air Force is facing a lot of pressure. But if you continue to stand still, those gossips are really easy. It's suspicious."

As the Germans bombed London, and General Dawding commanded the air force to avoid fighting, some rumors followed.

There are people who say anything behind their backs. Some people are even crazy about the spy who can't find it in Germany. Said Ding is actually the biggest spy hidden in the UK.

It was precisely because of this statement that Churchill finally couldn't sit still, and rushed over to force Dawding to let the Air Force fighter troops join the battle as soon as possible.
