Chapter 8: The Line Breaks and the Storm begins
Goering's under ground base of Doom 50 Kilometres below the earth's crust Mid June 1940
Goering: People the storm is beginning soon all of the world will be wrapped in the flames of total war. Except us as we are too cool for total war right now.
Ribbentrop: Well the war is spreading. New Zealand has joined the war.
Goering: While I'm sure New Zealand has a reasonable army They'll probably only be able to defeat us if they armed all of their sheep at once.
Ribbentrop: While I doubt the Military capacity of sheep to fight the thought of thousands of armed sheep roaming the countryside fills me with dread.
Beck: We'll be outnumbered.
Goering: So lets hope they haven't worked on the sheep gun tech which would allow them to arm sheep.
Ribbentrop: We have also done another trade with the Soviets. We give them machinery and they give us resources simple enough and it benefits us hugely.
Goering: At this rate of trade we could maybe be considered friends if we keep it up.
Ribbentrop: It will not that far I'm sure of it.
Ribbentrop: Then there is China. I thought Mussolini's Ninjas would be scary but it appears that Chiang's Samurai are much better fighters especially with our help.
Goering: Why does Chiang even have Samurai? They come from his enemy Japan.
Ribbentrop: A move by Chiang to demoralize the Japanese by seeing their lines overrun by the bearers of there forefathers heritage. It works quite well it seems as they have overrun the Japanese Puppet in Inner Mongolia known as Mengkukuo or Mengiiang. Regardless it seems that the Chinese are winning the war now and it looks like the Japanese occupation of Manchuria is soon to be lifted.
Raeder: Well the battle of the Atlantic is now beginning and our submarines are killing their conveys left right and centre. We have also begun focusing on the U-boats to the detriment of air planes and land forces.
Goering: How could you leave my planes alone.
Raeder: It'll just harm their organization ok.
We can already tell that this is having an impact on the British as it is lowering their national unity and their resources and their Naval base efficiency and we are only using the long range U-boats.
Goering: Why?
Raeder: Mid range ones can't reach the real battle grounds of the Atlantic. They can only get as far as the western end of Britain.
Beck: We have also pulled off our line breaker offensive.
Goering: (Stunned) You actually broke the Maginot line.
Beck: With a lot of help from air power. We had to do it to get better jumping off points for a major offensive against the heart of France.
Goering: Any combat stats.
Beck: We have a few here is the first one.
Goering: We did no damage, how did we win?
Beck: Those statistics are inaccurate they don't include the contribution of air power which drove them from their forts.
Goering: Any others.
Beck: Have a look at this one.
Goering: It's even worse.
Beck: Remember air power. You've talked about how air power can play a massive role in driving the enemy from their positions this is it in real life not on your drawing boards.
Goering: You're right how could I forget. I suppose Air power did lots of damage to them.
Beck: They did try to retaliate but I think we have the better of them. We also encountered armour under a French general you told us to watch out for.
Goering: de Gaulle. His ideas on tank warfare are quite good how did it go.
Beck: We took control of the region and have now began our offensive in the North through the low countries.
Goering: Excellent. Goebbels do you have anything.
Goebbels: In order to increase manpower my agents have moved into foreign communities we control inviting the men to fight communism and destroy the enemy of western civilization the Soviet Union.
Goering: Well we have built 3 transport wings and 6 multi role wings and 6 naval wings and 10 radar outpost which can be combined into one massive one. It's planned for Brittany or northern France somewhere.
Goebbels: We have advanced or developed 4 engine airframe, large fuel tank, fighter ground crew training, hydrophone, heavy bomber ground crew training, strategic rocket, medium tank gun, carrier armour, strategic bombardment tactics, operational level organization, medium tank armour, blitzkrieg, medium tank engine, RADAR, interception tactics, TAC pilot training, medium tank reliability, airbase strike tactics, TAC ground crew training, operation weserübung, cargo hold, heavy bomber pilot training, light tank engine and Fall Gelb.
Goering: Soon all will know war and the Luftwaffe will come into it own and destroy the weak royal airforce.
