The Third Reich in Desperation

However, although they lost the war, they did not lose their spirit.

Fifty-two interned German battleships sank to the bottom of the sea, including ten battleships and all five battlecruisers.

In that battle, the tonnage of warships scuttled by the Germans themselves accounted for 95% of the total tonnage of the entire impounded fleet.

Even if all the warships were sunk, they did not leave any enemy to defeat them!

It's just this kind of ruthlessness and determination that is unwilling to compromise even if the fish is dead, the whole world is shocked by it at that time!

But today, Sir Forbes's fleet is obviously still capable of fighting, and it is obviously more valuable than the Germans' self-sinking fleet at that time, and it is even more unbearable...but he handed it over to the Italian Navy.

"At the beginning, I joked that the Germans were dying for Operation Rainbow and pretending to be smart." Forbes lowered his head and said quietly: "But now, I realize that this is the iron-blooded spirit that the Germans have always been proud of, which is ignored by us. Yes, it is also the biggest secret of their ability to rise again!"

Text Chapter 453 The Rainbow of Britain

"Commander, why don't we... let's do Operation Rainbow!" Forbes' chief of staff lowered his voice and leaned forward and said softly.

yes!Since the Germans can blow up all their battleships with a single Operation Rainbow, the British can do the same!

Almost, Forbes was about to applaud the proposal.

However, without being excited for too long, Sir Forbes discovered that their current situation is still different from that of the Germans.

At that time, although the German army was compressed to the limit, there were still German soldiers manning each battleship.

But now, all the British officers and soldiers are detained in batches in the prison lounge vacated by the Italian Navy ships, and they are detained and unable to touch the warships that have been seized by the Italians.

"No." Sir Forbes shook his head and sighed: "I thought about it, and found that our current situation is different from that of the Germans at that time, and there is no way to imitate their success."

In fact, most of the so-called success studies in later generations have the effect of fighting chicken blood, and it does not really make everyone who studies success studies successful.

Everyone's success model cannot be copied.

The success of a person, or a team, requires a specific historical environment, economic background, and opportunities that can be encountered but not sought.

Most of those who want to follow the old path of successful people and succeed will not do so.

Unless, that person's luck is very good, he really meets the love of heaven, and loses the pattern of the previous successful person.

To make a simple analogy, Reinhardt went to the Bermuda Triangle, encountered a shipwreck, and crossed it.

So, relying on his understanding of the history of World War II and the knowledge of automation he had learned, he happened to meet the eve of the outbreak of Operation Rainbow, seized the opportunity, beheaded his head in one fell swoop, and then rose step by step in the Weimar government. Goldfinger reformed technology and army equipment, winning all the way to the present.

However, if someone suddenly proposes today that he asks the Bermuda Triangle to try his luck, see if he can pass through by chance, and change his fate against the sky... I guess that person will be regarded as a fool.

Just kidding, not everyone is the protagonist in the novel, cheating all the way, using cheats, extremely arrogant and always covered by people all day long.

In the same way, the British Navy may not be able to play the "Rainbow Operation" that the German Navy is good at.

"Commander, I don't think so!" After listening to the chief of staff's advice, Forbes' adjutant also turned his head to look at Forbes thoughtfully: "If there are no conditions, we can create conditions. Although the Italians put us officers in custody , But many of our grassroots soldiers were left in their original posts by the Italians to maintain the operations of the ships."

Since the Italian Navy took over all the remaining British warships and a large aircraft carrier for a while, and the Italian officers and soldiers were not familiar with the operation of British ships, they had to bring the captured fleet back to the country. Use for a moment the rank and file of the British, and use them to keep the British ships afloat.

The adjutant then moved between Forbes and the chief of staff, and whispered in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "As long as we can return to the ships, maybe we can command our subordinates to quickly destroy the bottoms of the ships. sink them."

"Is it possible to scuttle a warship under the guidance of the Italians?" Forbes frowned, dragging his chin with his hand.

"What's wrong? Didn't the Germans complete Operation Rainbow under the nose of our Marshal Betty?" the chief of staff said very positively.

The Marshal Betty mentioned by the chief of staff was the British admiral who was ridiculed by Reinhardt as a psychopath and was responsible for monitoring and receiving the German fleet.

At that time, if it weren't for the inability to kill prisoners due to international law, it is estimated that Betty, who has always been hot-tempered and narrow-minded, had dragged Reinhard out and shot Reinhard for an hour.

It's a pity that Betty held back her breath until the end and couldn't find her way back.

Although Betty was promoted to the rank of admiral of the British Empire in the second year after Operation Rainbow ended, he never let go of the original humiliation.

Of course, Reinhardt was also terrified for a while afterwards.

In fact, Reinhard hated and feared Betty, the executioner who led the troops to China in June 1900 and was famous for his brutal suppression of the Boxer Movement.

At that time, he was nothing more than a prisoner to put it bluntly. As a British general, Betty wanted to kill him easily.

The reason why she was not pushed out to kill her was that she was really grateful for the support of the German naval officers and soldiers at that time, and the support of General Ludwig. Perhaps it was this that made Betty fight the mouse and restrained her cruel nature. It was not like dealing with China. Like those Boxer warriors, kill the arrogant Reinhardt.

Later, Reinhardt, who ran back to Germany, felt comfortable for a while.

At that time, in addition to a fat man named Churchill, there was also an old man named David Beatty in Britain, who was paying attention to this young German.

Churchill was okay, he and Reinhardt had no enmity at that time, and he only observed Reinhardt out of curiosity.

Marshal Betty was different. He deliberately investigated Reinhardt, and he was almost pissed off in advance.

You know, by virtue of his military exploits in suppressing the Chinese Boxers, Betty was promoted to colonel of the Royal Navy of the British Empire at the age of 29 at a young age.

After that, Betty spent another ten years successfully becoming the youngest rear admiral in British history in nearly 100 years who was qualified to command the flagship, breaking the record held by Viscount Nelson, the fastest promotion for non-British royals. For the records of generals.

However, after he heard that Reinhardt, who shamelessly humiliated himself in public, was promoted from a sergeant when he met to the youngest general in German history in just 5 years, the British field marshal , finally vomiting blood angrily.

Everyone knows that Reinhardt's Rainbow Operation caused the British Empire to lose a fat and seized fleet, and missed the opportunity to stabilize the world's number one navy. Since then, the United States has used the Washington Naval Treaty to catch up and become tied for first place.

However, few people know that because of the appearance of Reinhardt, Operation Rainbow became more dramatic. Fifteen years later, at the end of 15, he died with a grudge.

Because of the long-term anger, Betty, a famous British general, was pissed off by Reinhardt 3 years in advance!

Among other things, Forbes and the others couldn't imitate the unexpected gains brought about by Reinhardt's reliance on brazenness.

Chapter 454 Logistical Disaster

"Ah..." Reinhardt, who had just sent Mussolini away and sat back on his desk, sneezed inadvertently.

He didn't know that in the distant Mediterranean, a group of British officers were preparing to imitate him.

How much influence Reinhardt had on the British, he did not know.

However, Reinhardt's influence on the Third Reich is obvious to all.

At night, at the logistics management office in the rear of Germany, an officer in charge of logistics management in the French theater reluctantly handed a thick stack of documents to his superior.

Because the thickness of the document was a bit exaggerated, the moment the document was placed on the seat, there was a muffled "bang".

Then the officer stood at attention and saluted his superior in front of his desk: "Long live Reinhardt!"

His officer was an older officer wearing glasses. When the officer saw these heavy documents, he frowned and raised his head and asked, "Why are there so many?"

"This has been carefully selected. It is just a week's supply of supplies for the troops stationed in France. There will be so many documents every week in the future, enough for us to be busy for a long time."

The young officer sighed and said: "Although the head of state has already proposed to simplify the supply, in fact, the work of our logistics department has only been slightly reduced."
