Title: London Threatened
Post by: ROC on September 20, 2013, 12:47:36 PM
Citizens in London are growing concerned.

Reports of a massive assault on the defensive fleet, and the shut down of major port facilities along the southern coast were quickly confirmed.  
Further reports of follow up assaults have called out as many as 6 airfields taken out of service.  
Rumors are flying around faster than the Spitfires and Hurricanes, what is the reason for this assault? Where are the Germans going next?

Many have speculated that this is an assault with no other motive than to force Britain to sue for peace so that Hitler, who wants no long term conflict in this region,
can pursue an aggressive move against Russia.  
Others feel different, and believe that the complete and total shut down and destruction of London is the goal.  
No one knows what the actual goal is, and the force being sent against Britain clearly suggests that no matter the objective,
there is urgency in achieving it swiftly and decisively.


The RAF is planning for the worst, and sensing full occupation as the goal, is holding nothing back.  
The RAF feels it is in a life and death struggle for the whole of the nation which is giving the brave pilots an all or nothing mindset.

The LW has no idea what the political goals are from on high, all they know is they are charged with doing their job, failure is not an option.
Better to die in battle than to return defeated and answer to command.  
They have been tasked, for whatever reason, to utterly destroy the RAF ability to launch a defense, and they have 2 days left to complete this task.  
Anything less than complete destruction of the RAF airfields, securing ownership of the airspace over London, is unacceptable.

I think the BoB was a hoax and invented to show off Britain's new Spitfires. Just like George Michael liked to show off his perfectly round behind, the Britain's really wanted to show off the Spitfire's perfectly elliptical wing. Britain made the whole thing up and here is how. British fighter pilot's dressed in German clothes and planes and faked it all. The British pilot's who played German's were actually a secret society and some were downed MIA pilot's.

If you don't believe me just wait for the future Sourth Park episode. :neener:

Heck with that, just convince the 109's and 110's to take a day off. That would do us fine!

My guess is that there will be more of both!
