Chapter 0822: Rushing to Maginot

World War II broke out, and the world was in a state of panic.

Every day, countless people set foot on the land of America from the port, the last pure land of civilization they saw.

Among these people are scientists, educators, artists, workers, and front-line scientific researchers, who have brought new changes to the development and growth of the United States.

Standing on the rooftop of the penthouse, looking at the ants at his feet, Li Zitao's eyes turned to the east.

Hans has already submitted the report of the last meeting to Washington, but it is still unknown whether it will have a role.

Roosevelt tried several times to mediate between Britain, France, and Germany to restore peace in Europe, but all failed.

A meeting report from entrepreneurs can play a role, even Li Zitao himself is not hopeful.

The trend of history is still very similar to that of previous lives, and in addition to the side events that happened on the African continent, Morocco is naturally indispensable.

Holding the right to issue currency, which is equivalent to controlling the country's economic lifeline, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and Lee's Holdings began to invest heavily in Morocco.

It has been found that many women refine the oil of a plant called Forrest Gump and use it to apply it to their face, body and hair.

Experiments have shown that this vegetable oil has a high value and is a very good raw material for both food and skin care products.

What other cacti and rose water, anyway, in Li Zitao's memory, as long as they can be named, they can eventually become women's skin care products.

In addition to investing in the cosmetics industry, the main industries involved in the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce are also the salvage and export of agricultural products and aquatic products.

It is not these industries that are the most profitable, but the gambling industry, which is also legalized in Morocco.

In fact, the most lucrative industry in Morocco at this stage is the cannabis cultivation industry centered on 'Chefchaouen'.

This is one of the three most famous blue cities in the world, Santorini, where Li Zitao has been to, is a white house with a blue roof, giving people a sense of holy beauty.

And here it is a blue house with a white roof, which is the same for the whole city, and it also makes people who have been here linger.

In Morocco, from the king to the commoners, no one would do anything to threaten the industry.

Because 30 percent of Morocco's economy is driven entirely by KIF.

As a local grower said, "Everything I have comes from KIF, and I don't know how I would live without KIF." ”

KIF is the local name for marijuana, and people living in Chefchaouen add KIF to their cigarettes because it is as normal for them as eating and drinking.

So, if you're going to this North African country, remember to bring plenty of cigarettes.

There is not even a pretentious anti-drug campaign here, even though KIF has been defined as a 'drug' by Western countries and banned by order.

But in North Africa, in Morocco, it's like a little spice in life.

If a tourist comes here, he will definitely feel inexplicably excited, and at first he will think that it is because of the new discovery of the journey.

After a few hours, the head is inexplicably dizzy, and the person still remains excited, and he will clearly realize that this is the consequence of sucking too much second-hand KIF.

Regarding the production of KIF cultivation in Morocco, Li Zitao did not kill him with a shot, but asked people to supervise and record it from planting to transportation.

The stake here is the economy of an entire country.

If he just wants to be a good man, he will directly destroy the KIF industry, and Li Zitao is sure that the Sultan, who has just regained his 'freedom', will immediately throw himself into the arms of Spain again.

Even if he was to be drawn into the war because of this, to become a victim of Franco's ambition to realize his power, he would not hesitate to do so.

May 10, 1940.

Four months after the loss of the 'Yellow Plan', the German army launched an attack on the entire territory of France with 3.35 million men and more than 2,000 tanks.

At this time, on the front line, the Anglo-French army deployed 3.3 million people, more than 3,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and 1,500 outdated FT-17 tanks were also sent to the front line.

Before the war, the number of tanks on the front line of the Anglo-French army had reached a staggering 5,800, which was arguably the most powerful armored force in the world at that time.

At the same time, the Anglo-French army had a considerable advantage in terms of armor thickness and firepower, which was much stronger than the German tanks.

France was called 'the world's largest army power,' and it was not really blown out of its mouth.

As for the navy, submarines aside, Britain could pull out a fleet at random and beat the German navy all over the ground.

The air force was also dominated by the Anglo-French forces, with more than 2,000 aircraft deployed on the front line, 1,000 aircraft to support in the British mainland, and hundreds of aircraft in the French rear waiting for orders to take off.

But judging from the data on paper, the Anglo-French alliance was definitely the strongest military force in the world at that time, and it was much stronger.

It is no wonder that Britain and France thought that how the Germans really chose to go to war was tantamount to asking for their own suffering.

But then the signs became more and more that the Germans really wanted to go to war.

And now, the war has really come.

The Anglo-French forces found that the Germans were divided into two routes, one way as stated in the 'Yellow Plan', attacking France through the Netherlands and Belgium.

And in this direction, the most elite units of the Anglo-French army were deployed.

The other side pounced on the 'impregnable' Maginot Line, which looked like a completely suicidal military operation.

No one could break through the Maginot Line, which even the dwarf generals affirmed, this line of defense that had almost exhausted the French ** capital was too strong.

Otherwise, the original 'yellow plan' would not have focused on the Netherlands and Belgium and deliberately bypassed the Maginot line.

And the reminder from the United States, the so-called 'gap' Ardennes Forest, did not come with any news.

This made the British and French forces breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time believed that the Americans were making a big fuss and making irresponsible inferences about future wars based on speculation.

How is it possible to use the impassable Ardennes Forest to pass through tanks, and should they all be given wings?

But in the Ardennes Forest, which no one expected, the most elite Army Group A of the German army, was heading to French territory under the leadership of General Guderian, the founder of the blitzkrieg.

There are many difficulties in getting the Panzer Corps through the forest.

In order to develop a reliable route, Guderian sent cavalry to scout the front, looking for the flat road with the largest gaps and the fewest obstacles.

At the same time, it was necessary to ensure the accuracy and concealment of the direction, although it was difficult for the Anglo-French forces to pay attention to this natural barrier under the attraction of friendly forces, Guderian still thought it better to be careful.
