"Very good, generals. Now that you have completed your preparations, I am relieved. Today's weather is good, and it is also a good opportunity for the empire. Today, the empire will launch an attack on the British mainland as planned The first day. In an hour, the attack will begin. God bless the German Reich and crush the British!" said Marshal von Falkenhain.

"God bless the German Empire!" All the generals were very excited and excited. They waited for this day, and they also waited for a long time. In the past few months, everyone has been preparing for the attack on the British mainland. A large amount of combat supplies were transported to the front line, and the soldiers lost by the legions in the previous wars were also replenished, completing the run-in. At the same time, a large number of weapons and equipment were added to restore the combat effectiveness of each legion to its peak.

Of course, the 4 legions of the Imperial Army plus the 5 divisions of the Marine Corps have a total strength of only 1.1 million people, which is only equivalent to a quarter of the British Continental Army. However, if it comes to combat effectiveness, it is not the same. The German Army, armed to the teeth, has high morale. It should not be difficult to defeat the British Army with backward equipment and low morale.

After all, in today's wars, military superiority is also an indispensable and important factor for victory. However, the role played in the war is no longer as important as before. The development of science and technology and the innovation of weapons have made the importance of military superiority in the factor of war victory and defeat begin to decline continuously. The millions of British Army will be vulnerable to the well-trained German Army. As long as a small part of their elite troops are eliminated, the remaining troops are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they can be slaughtered at will.

"According to the plan, the artillery formation of the Imperial Navy will be responsible for clearing the landing site and destroying the fortifications that the British have worked so hard to build over the past few months. The Imperial Army Air Force will also join in and bomb the fortifications of the British. , to clear the way for the landing of the Marine Corps. At the same time, the Imperial Army Air Corps is also responsible for seizing air supremacy. If the British planes dare to take off, you must beat them all down to ensure that the sky belongs to Germany Imperial!" Marshal von Falkenhain emphasized.

"Yes, Marshal!" Lieutenant General Zeckert, Commander of the Imperial Army Air Corps, and Major General Richter Fels, Commander of the Naval Artillery Formation both replied.

"If all goes well, the Marine Corps can launch an attack tomorrow morning or at noon. This time, we will first land in Margate, Dover and Folkestone. After the Marine Corps successfully consolidates the landing ground, the first The 1st Corps, 2nd Corps and 3rd Corps are expected to land on the British mainland tomorrow evening. As long as we can withstand the British counterattack tomorrow night, then we can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the British mainland. At that time, it will not be easy for the British to drive us into the sea. Once our three legions land on the British mainland, the main force of the British Army will inevitably gather in the southeast. At that time, it is Great chance for us to hit the Brits hard.

The Eighth Army will take the opportunity to land at Bournemouth. After success, rush eastward, cut off the logistics supply line of the troops gathered by the British in the southeast area, and create conditions for their complete annihilation! As long as we can eliminate the main body of the British Army in the southeast of England. Then, the second stage is to take London in one fell swoop and destroy Britain. As long as London is won, Britain will not be far from perishing. Even if there are still a small number of people who will stubbornly resist. But their main force has been wiped out by us, and the others are nothing to worry about. In the follow-up battle, they can be easily wiped out! "

Marshal von Falkenhain said.

Although, the generals here are already familiar with this battle plan. But no one was impatient when von Falkenhain laid out the plan. This is the destruction of a country! A former world power. Everyone who can participate in it is undoubtedly very proud.

"Everyone, the time is almost up. Everyone, let's make final preparations! This time, we will definitely defeat Britain. His Majesty the Emperor is in Berlin, waiting for the good news of our victory!" Marshal von Falkenhain said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Everyone replied.

Time passed little by little, and the Imperial Navy and Army Air Force were already busy.

Huge warships have entered the Strait of Dover and are heading towards their intended destination.

Five "Bavariclass" battleships and "Deutschland-class" battleships formed the 1st artillery formation, and they will be responsible for bombarding the British Army positions in Margate.

Five "King-class" battleships and five "Brunswick-class" battleships formed the 2nd artillery formation, and they will be responsible for bombarding the British Army positions in Dover.

Five "Weichersbach-class" battleships, five "Caesar Frederick III-class" battleships, and four "Brandenburg-class" battleships formed the 3rd artillery formation. They would be in charge of shelling Folkestone.

In the naval artillery formation this time, it can be said that the most powerful battleships of the German Navy have been assembled, as well as those former dreadnoughts used as waste. In particular, as many as 24 pre-dreadnought ships, as a product of the British-German naval arms race, have become obsolete in naval battles before they have had time to participate in the main duel. These battleships, which cost a huge amount of money to build, can only be used as firepower ships now. After this war is over, what awaits these former dreadnoughts is dismantling. This is also the last time they have used their spare power on the battlefield.

The airport of the Army Air Corps is also busy. The ground crew is refueling the aircraft and adding ammunition to ensure that these aircraft can participate in this operation in the best condition. The pilots are being briefed on the battle.

Arrived at 7 o'clock in the morning, and all three artillery formations had arrived at the scheduled sea area. They lined up on the sea about ten kilometers from the coast, and the main guns of the battleships were already aimed at the British Army's position. As long as the order from the superior is issued, he can launch the shelling.

"Order all ships to fire!"

After the order was issued, the battleships immediately started firing. The bombardment of these battleships officially opened the prelude to Germany's attack on the British mainland.
