“Don’t worry about the landing ships. I have prepared 55 large landing ships, which can transport 50,000 fully armed soldiers ashore. These warships are now outside the Danze Port in Kiel. You just need to send someone to receive them. When everyone was still worried about the lack of landing ships, Mainz suddenly took out more than 50 landing ships, which surprised them and made them very confused.
Where did these landing ships come from?
Why have they never been seen before?
“Führer, these landing ships are……”
Minister of Industry Speer was particularly concerned about this issue, because with more than 50 landing ships coming out at once, the strength of this shipyard should not be underestimated!
Mainz glanced at him and said,”These are all what I ordered from foreign countries before, not produced by our own domestic shipyards!”
That’s all, there’s no need to say more about the rest.
The crowd didn’t continue to ask, but thought in their hearts: Who is helping them build landing ships?
Is it the Eagle Sauce in North America, or the countries along the coast of the Baltic Sea?
However, no matter who it is, since the head of state said that they already have more than 50 landing ships, then the problem that troubled them before is no longer a problem!
Thinking of this, everyone secretly admired in their hearts: As expected of the head of state, he must have anticipated this moment a long time ago, so he laid out in advance and prepared so many landing ships in advance, just for this day!
The head of state’s foresight is really terrifying!
Everyone was filled with emotion. They had witnessed their leader’s terrifying ability to predict the future time and time again, and they already regarded Mainz as a god in their hearts!
“Now that the problem of landing ships has been solved, how long will it take for the army to prepare for cross-sea operations?”
After solving the problem of means of transportation, Mainz became concerned about the previous problem again: How long will it take for the army to prepare for an attack on the British Empire?
Although the navy has gained certain advantages now, the navy can only fight at sea after all, and there is no way to fight on land. Therefore, to solve the problem of the British Empire, the coordination of the navy and the army is necessary.
The navy must first seize control of the sea, and only after controlling the sea can the army boldly launch a landing.
And after the army has gained a firm foothold on the British Empire, they can completely defeat the British Empire and make them surrender to Hans like Gaul did!
Of course, if they are unwilling to surrender, Hans can keep fighting until they are willing to surrender!
However, the prerequisite for doing this is that you must be prepared.
If they are not prepared, landing on the shore will be a gift to the enemy, and it will be the heads of 50,000 people and 1,200 tanks!
If the landing troops are really wiped out, it will definitely not be good news for Hans, because this will greatly dampen Hans’s military morale and make the soldiers of the army fear and panic about the landing battle.
Once they have such an idea, their sharpness will probably disappear, and their combat effectiveness will also decline sharply!
On the contrary, the British side will gain confidence from this, and will further strengthen the defense of their homeland and fight Hans to the end!
If this is the case, it will be much more difficult for you to successfully land in the future!
Manstein was also very clear about the importance of this matter, so he thought about it and did not rush to give an answer.
“Führer, I think that we are unable to conduct cross-sea operations at the moment. Many of the soldiers are not good at swimming and will get seasick. Their combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced at sea. Under this condition, it is not realistic to expect them to exert their combat effectiveness!”
Mainz nodded. It was indeed inappropriate to let the army take the lead and act as the vanguard of the landing force.
The landing forces of various countries in later generations are basically the Marine Corps, because the Marine Corps is specially prepared for landing operations compared to the Army, and their training subjects are completely designed around such battles.
Therefore, compared with the traditional army, the landing combat capability of the Marine Corps is much stronger.
The army’s involvement in the battle began only after the Marine Corps successfully landed and expanded the landing site!
Their mission is to help the Marine Corps expand the width and depth of the landing site and ensure the safety of their own troops, especially the transport ships and personnel on the landing site!
Hans certainly does not have a Marine Corps now. After all, they did not even have a navy before, so it was useless to have a Marine Corps.
However, in this era, each country actually has a special force responsible for landing operations. Although they are called differently, their nature is actually similar to that of the Marine Corps in later generations, but the scale is much smaller.
Considering that we will have to fight in North Africa in the future, and we will also have to compete with the British for control of the Mediterranean islands, it is necessary to form a Marine Corps belonging to Hans!
So Mainz said:”In this way, select a group of elite troops from the army, form a Marine Corps separately, and then conduct targeted landing combat training. When this force has the combat capability, launch a landing war against the British mainland!”
Mainz’s proposal made everyone’s eyes light up. Gather the elite of the entire army, train a force specifically for landing operations, and let this force take the lead!
This is a good idea!
However, everyone also has a question in their mind, that is, who does this force belong to?
The Marine Corps, the name includes the Navy, but it is a land combat force, so does it belong to the Navy or the Army?
This question is very important, because this army is composed of elite soldiers drawn from the Army. If it does not belong to the Army, the Army will definitely have opinions. The same is true for the Navy. After all, this force bears the name of the Navy, and they also need to use the Navy’s landing ships and the escort and cover of the Navy’s combat ships.
All these dirty and tiring work needs to be handled by the Navy. If they do not belong to the Navy, the Navy will have a lot of opinions!
However, these issues are not something they can decide on their own. Everything depends on Mainz’s opinion.
