"The Head of State already knows that we have lost the first line of defense, and that a lieutenant general of the SS has been captured. I order you that our troops must launch a counterattack immediately,"

In the "Atlantic Barrier Command", Ernst Utd Air Marshal was getting angry at his deputy General Albert Kesselin. The reason was self-evident. It was naturally because the first line of defense of the "Atlantic Barrier Command" was lost, and also because he was under pressure from Heinrich Hitler. Heinrich Hitler didn't use his commands to interfere with the battles of the front-line generals. But he also lacked the ability to command wars, at least not as unique as Adolf Hitler's unique insights about the situation.

The war at this moment can be said to have deeply trapped Germany in the quagmire. The German army fighting in the Soviet Union could not capture it for a long time, and the Allied forces opened up a second battlefield in Europe, which made Germany again fall into an embarrassing situation of fighting on both sides. It is precisely for this reason that Heinrich Himmler used a lot of money to establish a "Atlantic Barrier" defense line for Germany.

But in just three days of the war, the first line of defense has been lost, and the German inland troops have not yet joined the counterattack. If we look at the mobilization situation, although the ground troops began to assemble near Normandy at night, the German army did not seem to have the intention to launch a counterattack immediately. This made Heinrich Himmler unable to bear it because of domestic pressure.

"Mr. Marshal, my opinion is that even if we consume the ground forces in the counterattack, we still cannot drive the Allies out of the sea. After all, they have 8 million troops as follow-up forces. What do we have? The most important thing is what we use to counterattack. If we use our weak Western Front Air Force to fight back, I promise that our Western Front Air Force will be completely destroyed in a few days. By then, our failure in Europe will only be a matter of time!"

Regarding the orders from the domestic market, the Air Force Admiral Albert Kesselin was carrying out the final resistance. It was obviously unlikely that he would not fight back, but the counterattack might cause huge losses due to subsequent combat operations. After all, air superiority is no longer on Germany's side. Even if the me262 Salamander fighter and W-F1 fighter are transferred back from the Soviet front, it will be completely lost when facing the Allied attacks.

After all, the Allied forces concentrated as many as 40,000 aircraft in the Normandy. While attacking the beach, a large number of long-range bombers were bombing every strategic location in Germany. At this moment, almost all German forces were fighting hard with the Soviet Union, which was supported by the Allied forces. The Soviets were not afraid of losing their troops, and the Allied forces were not worried about losing their equipment. After the two items were added together, the German main legion fell into a hard battle there.

Moreover, no one expected the Japanese to turn back, and they directly turned to the Allied forces from the Chinese Federation camp. This alleviated the problem of dispersed forces, especially the US military could draw a large number of warships from the Pacific Ocean to participate in the battles in Europe, which no one expected from the German government. Of course, they did not expect that the Chinese Federal Defense Force would appear in Italy because of the request of Benito Mussolini.

This incident made Heinrich Himmler regret that the conflict with the Chinese Federation when he seized power was even more regretful was that he did not join the "United Nations" of the Chinese Federal Organization in time. Although it might cause a significant change in Germany's policy, it would also allow the Chinese Federal Defense Force to appear in Europe at any time in the name of exercising the collective self-defense rights of UN member states.

But now the situation has been decided, and even the Chinese Federation has declared war on Germany because of Israel. Obviously, the question of the two countries stopping the war at this moment depends entirely on whether Germany can leave Heinrich Himmler and even whether Germany can accept His Majesty the Emperor again. Although the Austrians have withdrawn from the Axis powers and join the "United Nations" because of such a thing, the Germans obviously have not made up this decision.

All kinds of contradictions have caused the conflicts in Germany to escalate at this moment, so the pressure on the new head of state Heinrich Himmler was getting greater and greater. This made him urgently need a victory, and the Western Front was where he placed hope. The reason why he placed hope here was because the German army once taught the Allies a lesson in Europe at the beginning of the war. So this time, can the German army still make some contributions?

As the commander-in-chief Ernst Uted, the air marshal of the Western Front, he transferred all the flying teams that could be transferred to the east. There was no new fighter plane in the entire Western Front. Moreover, he was far inferior to Hermann Goring in the air battle command. What’s important is that he was not a general supported by the Chinese Federation.

"Marson, I want to leave those flying teams for counterattacks before using them, and we need the cooperation of the weather. According to the weather forecast, a bad weather will come in a week. If the counterattacks are counterattacks at that time, the Allied air superiority will be affected, and we can make the Allied forces on the ground suffer more. As for the defense line, I think..."

Obviously, General Albert Kesselin has no fantasy about defending the entire Europe. This is especially true when the first line of defense of the "Atlantic Barrier" is lost. Even if Germany attacks the shore again, what can he use to face the powerful sea and air firepower of the Allied forces? But at this moment, he had another plan in his mind, that is, to let the Allied forces advance on the ground, and then concentrate troops to encircle and annihilate the Allied heavy army groups. If it succeeds, I believe that the other party will not consider the attack for the time being.

If it fails, it can form a staggered front, thereby reducing the level of the Allied naval and air firepower. In a certain range of offensive and defensive battles, Germany can obtain domestic strength. Especially air power. If Europe has enough me262 Salamander fighters and W-F1 fighters at this moment, General Albert Kesseling would not be worried about the Allied attack.

—————————————————————————————————————————— Ernst Utide was an alcoholic. He did not look like this at the beginning of the war. And after the Marshal Hermann Goring was expelled, he became the leader of the air. At this time, victory did not cheer him up, but instead became an alcoholic because of some problems. This is also the reason why General Albert Kesseling was named Deputy but was actually the main person in charge of the "Atlantic Barrier Command".

"No, Keseling, you know we have to support the Head of State. The situation in the country is very bad now. If we back down again...!"

Albert Kesselin's eyebrows were frowning inconspicuously because he was also the kind of German officer who advocated the professionalism of the Chinese Federation. When considering combat, he did not consider too much political factors. At this moment, a battle that required him to use his precious power to counterattack would make his already insufficient power weaker. Especially the air force, after fierce battle with the Allied air forces, would he still have the ability to entertain their subsequent battles?

"Marson, this will lose our precious air force. If there is no air cover, then our future attack!"

The Marshal Ernst Uted could no longer bear the phenomenon of General Albert Kesselin refusing his request. Suddenly he was furious, and the rosaceae also turned red, which made him look like a fighting parrot with a red mouth.

"What kind of attack? If you don't attack now, when will it attack? The conditions are ripe, and I don't know when the conditions are ripe. Do we let their landing troops suffer heavy damage, and the conditions are not ripe? No, no, General Kesseling, I order you to immediately lead our main force of the Atlantic Barrier to launch an attack. We can defeat the British and Americans, just like our battle on the Western Front in World War I!"

At this moment, General Albert Kesselin had nothing to say. In his mind, it was not the time to launch an attack, but as the deputy commander, he had to obey orders. And he had to think of a plan to reduce the losses suffered by his flight team.

"Yes, Mr. Marshal, we will launch an attack, but I want to remind you that this may be our last attack on the Western Front. We will not have a chance to launch another counterattack until we are supplemented in the future!"

Although he accepted the order, the Air General Albert Kesselin still explained his thoughts. When the Air Marshal Ernst Utd faced General Albert Kesselin, he suddenly stepped forward, and the rosacea with a red nose was almost close to the nose of the Air General Albert Kesselin.

"Anyway, I am a soldier, and as a soldier I will obey the orders. General Kesselin, I order you to prepare for an attack immediately. We will launch a counterattack on the Allies in Normandy and drive those piglets into the sea!"

After helplessness, the commander of the Air Force, Albert Kesselin, had to accept the order. However, no one could hear the sigh in his heart.
