On the morning of August 20th, the weather was sunny and sunny. The originally violent North Sea has also calmed down. The Strait of Dover is also calm.
Calais, the Imperial War Command against Britain, Marshal von Falkenhain, Minister of the Imperial Army and Chief of the General Staff, arrived here in person and served as the commander of the war against Britain, fully responsible for commanding the Imperial Army's operations against the British Army.
At 5 o'clock in the morning, Marshal von Falkenhain got up. When he finished washing and had breakfast and arrived at the war room, he realized that all the important generals who participated in this battle against Britain had gathered here.
General Crook, Commander of the 1st Army Corps of the Imperial Army, General Bulow, Commander of the 2nd Army Corps of the Imperial Army, General Howson, Commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Ludendorff, Acting Commander of the 8th Army Corps of the Imperial Army . Lieutenant General Waldzer, Deputy Chief of Staff, and Lieutenant General Zeckert, Commander of the Army Air Forces. In addition, important generals from the navy also came, Admiral Reinhard Scheer, Commander of the High Seas Fleet, Lieutenant General Hipper, Chief of Staff, Major General Richter Fels, Commander of the Artillery Formation, Commander of the Marine Corps Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen, the officer, was also inside.
Lieutenant General Ludendorff and Lieutenant General Zeckert have just assumed new positions. Lieutenant General Ludendorff is only fifty years old this year, and he is undoubtedly very young to be the commander of an army. Therefore, the word agent was added to his command post. However, everyone knows that after this battle is over, Lieutenant General Ludendorff's agency can be removed. Moreover, his rank will also be promoted to general.
From Lieutenant General Ludendorff to the 8th Army to serve as the commander of the army, it took only three years in total. In just three years, he was promoted from a colonel to an admiral, which is undoubtedly a rocket-like speed.
Lieutenant General Zeckert, transferred to Army Aviation Commander, although the rank was not promoted. However, according to the gossip that spread out. After this battle is over, the Army Aviation will be separated from the Army, and the Imperial Air Force will be formed on this basis to become a brand new branch. There is no doubt that Lieutenant General Zeckert will be promoted at that time and become an independent military commander, which is undoubtedly very enviable. What's more, Lieutenant General Zeckert is one year younger than Lieutenant General Ludendorff. Generals who are less than fifty years old are already very rare in the German Army.
Alexander? Lieutenant General Linsingen, formerly the commander of the 1st Division of the Marine Corps, with the rank of major general. However, during the quelling of the rebellion in Berlin, he was very resolute and firmly stood on Qin Tian's side. Therefore, after Qin Tian successfully ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he would naturally have to pay for it. It was at that time that Alexander Linsingen was promoted and became the commander of the Marine Corps, and concurrently served as the commander of the 1st Division of the Marine Corps.
War, although it means casualties. However, for soldiers, it also means military exploits and opportunities for promotion. Every soldier will never give up such an opportunity.
"Everyone, are you all ready?" Marshal von Falkenhain asked.
"Ready!" All the generals replied loudly.
Marshal Falkenhain nodded. He could see that everyone had a very high morale for this attack on the British mainland, and they all hoped to seize this last opportunity and gain more military exploits. More military exploits means being able to get further promotion. A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Similarly, these generals who have already reached the extreme in the ranks of generals all want to go one step further and become field marshals of the empire.
"Your Excellency the Marshal, the 350,000 soldiers of the 1st Army Corps of the Imperial Army are ready!" General Crook said.
The 1st Legion is the most elite legion of the Imperial Army, of course, that was before the rise of the 8th Legion. However, their strength is the largest. Especially after the formation of armored divisions and the strengthening of artillery firepower and other automatic firepower, the strength of the troops has been further increased.
"Your Excellency Marshal, the 280,000 soldiers of the 2nd Corps of the Imperial Army are ready to attack!" General Bilo, the commander of the 2nd Corps, also showed no sign of weakness. Among the many legions of the German Army, the 2nd Army is second only to the 1st Army in strength.
"Your Excellency, the 3rd Army, with 200,000 troops, is ready for battle!" General Howson, the commander of the 3rd Army, also said. Compared with the previous two legions, the 3rd legion is slightly weaker in strength.
"The 8th Army is also ready!" Lieutenant General Ludendorff, acting commander of the 8th Army, also said. Although, the strength of the 8th Army is only more than 180,000 people. Among the various armies, it is undoubtedly the one with the least strength. However, no one dares to underestimate their true combat effectiveness. Even the 1st Army, which has nearly twice as many troops as them, may not be able to win them steadily. As the legion that His Majesty the Emperor served as the commander of the legion, the weapons and equipment equipped are the best. At the same time, the training is also the hardest. The fighting will of the soldiers is also the strongest.
"The Army Air Force is ready. We have deployed a total of 1,200 fighter jets and 800 bombers at the front-line airfield!" Lieutenant General Zeckert, commander of the Army Air Force, reported. For this operation, the Imperial Army Air Force has also invested a lot of money. Especially after learning that he will become the first commander of the Imperial Air Force, and may even become the Minister of the Imperial Air Force in the future. This made Zeckert full of energy. The emperor of the empire has already hinted at him, to serve as the commander of the air force first, and when the strength of the air force grows, he will set up the minister of the air force. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Lieutenant General Zeckert. It is estimated that no soldier of the empire can refuse the temptation of becoming the first commander of a military branch, the first minister of a military branch.
"Your Excellency the Marshal, the Imperial Navy and Marine Corps are ready!" Admiral Reinhard Scheer said.
This time, in the battle against the British mainland, the Imperial Navy and Marine Corps will fully cooperate with the Army. The Imperial Navy will dispatch 10 of the most powerful battleships and 24 battlecruisers to form an artillery formation. The two aircraft carriers already in service in the Imperial Navy will also be cruising off the coast of the United Kingdom. Once they receive an order, they will immediately take off their fighter planes to launch an attack. The 5 divisions of the Imperial Marine Corps, with a total of 100,000 people, are also ready to attack.
