Prime Minister''s Office, London, UK. Churchill sat behind his desk, frowning. In front of him sat Richard Haldane, Secretary of State for War, and General Trenchard, Chief of the Air Staff.


    When the German Army Air Force entered British airspace on arge scale, harsh air defense sirens sounded throughout London. Countless British people panicked and looked for shelter. Many people even just got up from the bed, and they didn''t even have time to put on their clothes. There are even some women who are just wrapped in a sheet.


    Churchill, the prime minister, was also led by his secretary and guards to the air-raid shelter. However, the Prime Minister''s Office has built a solid air-raid shelter, so there is no need to rob the air-raid shelter with other civilians. But in the end, the Luftwaffe did notunch an air raid on London, only destroyed those airports.


    "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, is the loss of the Royal Air Forcerge?" After a while, Churchill asked.


    "Your Excellency, after this battle, the Air Force''s mainbat power has been reduced by 90%. The remaining power is no longer enough to continue fighting!" Admiral Trenchard said.


    "Such a big loss?" Churchill and Richard Haldane were taken aback. Obviously, the loss of the Air Forcepletely exceeded their expectations.


    "Yes, Your Excellency. The Germans used nearly a thousand aircraft of various types in this round of attacks. The strength they have shown has far surpassed that of the Royal Navy. Therefore, the Royal Air Force will fight back a little bit." None!" Admiral Trenchard replied.


    "When will the Royal Air Force recover its strength?" Richard Haldane asked.


    The southeast theater of the British Army is still waiting for support from the Royal Air Force! Without RAF reinforcements, they suffered mounting losses from the air raids of the German Army Air Corps. This will undoubtedly put them at a very disadvantageous position in the next battle.


    "His Excellency, Minister of War, this is very difficult! It is even said that it is almost impossible." Admiral Trenchard said.


    "What? You mean, the Royal Air Force can''t recover its strength?" Churchill frowned tightly.


    "Yes, Your Excellency. After this battle, the Royal Air Force may no longer have the strength to continue fighting! Because our aircraft factory is subject to various factors, the number of aircraft produced every month is exactly Fewer and fewer. Therefore, if the Royal Air Force wants to restore its strength, I don’t know how long it will take!” Admiral Trenchard has already felt deeply desperate for the future of the Royal Air Force.


    "His Excellency, Minister of War, it seems that we are in trouble for the Battle of Canterbury this time!" Churchill was a little frustrated.


    "Your Excellency, we will try our best to win the Battle of Canterbury." Richard Haldane said.


    Churchill nodded and didn''t say much. He also knew that the army would do its best to fight this battle. However, it is very difficult to say whether it can win.


    While the British were desperate for the heavy loss of the Royal Air Force, the German Army was already actively preparing to take advantage of this opportunity tounch arge-scale offensive.


    "Everyone, the Army Air Force destroyed the British Air Force in one fell swoop during this morning''s operation. In the next battle, the British skies will belong to us. All attacking troops will receive air support from the Army Air Force!" Field Marshal von Falkenhain addressed the generals of the German Army.


    "General Zeckert, well done!"


    "Yes, General Zeckert. In the next battle, the Army Air Force should provide us with more support!"


    The other German generals said one after another.


    The current German Army seems to have be ustomed to having aircraft support overhead when attacking. These nes can''t bring them thetest enemy''s movements, but they can also drop bombs on the enemy''s head, or use machine guns to shoot the enemy, which makes the enemy miserable. With the support of aircraft, their losses in battle can also be effectively reduced.


    "Okay, everyone. Now, the conditions for us tounch a fierce attack on the British army entrenched around Canterbury seem to be ripe. Then, don''t waste any more time! His Majesty the Emperor hopes that we can end the war before Christmas !” Marshal von Falkenhain continued.


    Although the weather is still rtively hot, the further you go, the colder the weather will be. Especially the winter in Europe is simply not enough for troops to fight and march in the field. In that case, arge number of nonbat attrition due to severe cold is enough to cause the army to copse. Therefore, the German army also hoped that the war would end before Christmas.


    "Your Excellency Marshal, we are ready. All the main forces of the 1st Army have alreadynded. All the preparations for the attack have been made. We canunch an attack at any time!" Kruk,mander of the 1st Army, entered will say.


    "Your Excellency Marshal, the 2nd Army Corps is also ready to attack." General Bilo,mander of the 2nd Army Corps, said.


    "Very well, thenunch the attack ording to the predetermined n! This time, we must eliminate the main force of the British in the southeast of Ennd!" Marshal von Falkenhain said.


    "Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal!" Everyone replied. They all knew that a big battle was about to kick off.


    "ording to the n, the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Armored Division, as the forerunners of the 1st Army and the 2nd Army, advanced towards Canterbury. After reaching Canterbury, they broke through the defense of the British army, prated to the side of Canterbury, and divided the British army. Surrounded. The infantry followed up inrge numbers, and with the assistance of the armored forces, annihted this part of the British army. During this process, the 3rd Armyunched an attack on Maidstone, pinning down the British 3rd Army and the 8th Army. The Eighth Army will go into battle as appropriate," said Marshal von Falkenhain.


    All the generals nodded again and again. This is a battle n that has been drawn up long ago. Judging from the current actual situation, this n is not outdated at all and can still be used.


    "Are the armored units ready? They are the key to this battle!" Marshal von Falkenhain emphasized.


    To quickly advance to Canterbury, and then conduct interspersed siege, a strong assault force is essential. Only the armored forces can aplish this goal.


    "Your Excellency Marshal, all the tanks of the 1st Armored Division are ready to fight!"


    "The same goes for the 2nd Armored Division!"
