The Normandy landings opened up a second battlefield, which put Germany in a two-front dilemma, and it played a pivotal role in the history of World War II. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Why was the Allied army of 160,000 able to successfully land?

Why was the German army leaderless and uncommanded?

The reason is that the German commander Rommel was not on the battlefield, but in Paris for his wife's birthday. As a front-line commander with a great responsibility for blocking the Allied landing, why did Rommel leave the front line and go to Paris?

That's because Normandy was blowing a typhoon at that time, which was very unsuitable for landfall. German meteorologists believe that this bad weather will last for some time. Rommel thought that since the Allies could not land, it would be better to go to Paris to celebrate his wife's birthday and spend a small life, so he left the headquarters.

However, the British and American allied meteorologists believed that there would be a short period of calm after the bad weather, and there would be no typhoons, and the wind and waves would be calm. After repeated confirmations, Allied commander Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered an attack, and 160,000 British and American Allied troops landed in Normandy.

As for whether this landing is sure of success, Qiu Fatzi's words are already very revealing, and he believes that this is God's final judgment.

The Allies knew that it was Rommel who was defending Normandy. For Rommel, the Anglo-American allies were in awe and fought in North Africa. Rommel fought with a small number of troops against the superior forces of Britain and the United States, and fought well, although in the end Germany withdrew from North Africa, but the fault was not Rommel, because Rommel was not in good health, and went back to Germany for treatment, and when he arrived at the front, the fighter plane had been missed.

It was under such difficult conditions that Rommel retreated thousands of miles and withdrew the German army, but was not annihilated by the Anglo-American allies, who had absolute superiority.

What the Anglo-American allies did not expect was that Rommel was not on the battlefield and caught Germany by surprise. The Normandy coast is already in full swing, and several elite SS panzer divisions in Germany are still watching the show on the side, not knowing whether to go or not? Who called Rommel not on the battlefield and no one to command?

When Rommel received the news of the Allied landing in Paris, his face turned pale with fright, and he jumped into the car and rushed to the front. He had very bad luck and was bombed by Allied planes, had a car accident and had to lie in the hospital.

The mistakes of the German meteorologists caused Rommel to leave the front, and the consequences were too serious. First, Rommel was not on the front line, and the German army had no one to command, fighting separately and fighting in a disorderly manner.

What makes people even more speechless is that when the German troops on the coast were fighting for life and death and urgently needed reinforcements, the elite SS armored divisions in the rear could only watch the drama and were at a loss.

Second, Rommel was not on the front line, and no one reported the information to the German base camp in time, so that the German base camp could not respond in time and acted slowly. By the time the German base camp made an assessment, the Führer ordered the SS Panzer Division, which was watching the show, to go into battle, it was too late, and the Allies had already gained a foothold.

These SS Panzer Divisions, which could change the course of the war, had orders from the Führer, and no one could be mobilized without his consent. However, Western historians almost unanimously agree that if Rommel had been on the front, he would have thrown these armored divisions into battle against the Führer's orders.

With Rommel's good personal relationship with the Führer, the Führer would certainly have listened to his advice. Rommel was the battalion commander of the Führer's guard battalion and had always been there to protect the Führer, and the Führer trusted him very much, and there is no need to say how special this personal relationship is.

Just because of a weather forecast, the course of World War II was changed.

Perhaps, even if the German meteorologists had made the right measurements, Germany would still not have been able to avoid the fate of defeat, but the war would not have ended so soon. The Normandy landings would not have gone so smoothly, and the Allies would have paid an even higher price.

The victory of the Normandy landing that Ye Chen said was not the victory of the Allies themselves, but the victory of the meteorologists of the Allies, which was very reasonable.

The establishment of a weather station in the South China Sea in our country is really conducive to passing ships. Every ship that enters the territorial waters of our country will receive a short message welcoming its arrival, as well as weather forecasts, precautions, etc., which provide a good service to passing ships.

However, it also has a huge effect on the army of our country.

The Normandy landings have been a good illustration of the important role of weather forecasting in warfare, and it would be unthinkable for our navy to be without the support of the corresponding weather forecasts.

Since Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan were sure, Ye Chen was relieved and waited patiently.

It didn't take long for something to surprise Ye Chen to happen, and many fishing boats came to dock. The warriors on the island welcomed the arrival of the fishermen, providing them with water and food.

The fishermen were also very friendly to the fighters, as if they were meeting their families, and some of them even stood together and chatted as soon as they met.

The military and civilians are a family!

Although we are familiar with this statement, it is more of a slogan in the mainland, and we are talking but not doing. But in the South China Sea, it has really been interpreted, and Ye Chen is the first time to see a real military and civilian family.

"Xiao Ye, I'm very emotional, right? Let me tell you, what we practice is that the army and the people are close to each other, the people support the army, and the army protects the people, and this is the purpose of our army. Admiral Gan said proudly.

Ye Chen hit him and said, "You don't blow the atmosphere here, don't think that I don't know the Tao here." Some experts have proposed the use of 'cabbage' tactics against US aircraft carriers. When the US aircraft carrier came, it surrounded the US aircraft carrier with civilian ships, and the fishery administration and coast guard ships were on the outside, and our warships were on the outside. This strategy worries the commander of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. ”

Friends who like military affairs know this, and this trick is really ruthless.

Doesn't the United States advocate democracy and respect human rights? My fishermen have surrounded you to see what you can do? Do you still dare to hit my fishermen? If you dare to move it, our warships are in formation outside, it's not vegetarian.

Of course, this is only limited to peacetime, and if it is in wartime, this trick is useless.

In times of war, this would be considered an act of war and would have opened fire.

Although the United States prides itself on human rights, freedom, democracy, and equality, that is just bragging, and the United States does not care about human rights, freedom, democracy, and equality, and what the United States pursues is the national interests of the United States. When the U.S. troops were being chased and killed by our country's troops and were about to fall into a desperate situation, Ridgway ordered to open fire on the sticky civilians who were blocking the retreat of the U.S. troops.

Although this order was not ultimately carried out, he did give it.

That's pretty much the point.

Therefore, the cabbage tactic can only be used in peacetime, and in war years, it is to let the people go to death, and it cannot be used.

Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan glanced at each other and smiled silently.

"These fishermen are an important part of our country's defense of the South China Sea, and they are your eyes, am I right?" Ye Chen continued: "A lot of important information is provided by fishermen, right?" ”

"Isn't the tradition of our army the people's war? This is a people's war. Admiral Gan laughed.

Taizu has always advocated people's war, which is the tradition of our army, and complements the common people.

It didn't take long for someone to come and report the information gathered to Admiral Luo.

"The U.S. aircraft carrier is a little ready to move." After analyzing the information, Admiral Luo's brows furrowed.

"That's normal, too." Ye Chen interjected and said, "Since last year's 712 plan to confront the United States to encircle the Celestial Empire collapsed, we have taken the opportunity to recover 90% of the South China Sea, which embarrasses the United States. The United States is a thief and wants to make a sense of existence, so it has come to the South China Sea many times to stir up trouble. This time, the United States sent an aircraft carrier to show its strong military strength. However, it has been half a month since they arrived in the South China Sea, but nothing has been done, which has made the international community look down on the United States a little, and the US aircraft carrier cannot but take action. ”

"Yes, that's it." Admiral Kimball agreed.

"This time, we're going to let the United States have a good drink." Admiral Luo said domineeringly.

For American aircraft carriers, the country must have responded. Last year, we could all shake the big movement of 712, not to mention that the United States only has one aircraft carrier.

Over time, the weather went bad and the wind picked up.

Moreover, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, and finally there is a typhoon, and the waves hit the sky.

Ye Chen looked at the sea ravaged by the typhoon and felt the power of nature, which was very shocking.

This was the first time Ye Chen had experienced a typhoon, and it was spectacular to see the monstrous waves.

Despite the typhoon, the island's buildings remain untouched and of good quality.

Ye Chen remembered the first time the military sent him an engineering team. At that time, he gave the Air Force a super light brain, and in return, the military wanted to send him an engineering team. Ye Chen disagreed, what's so great about an engineering team? It's not like I can't afford to hire an engineering team.

After Zhao Baiwen's explanation, he learned that he had made a mistake and that he could not hire an engineering team sent by the military, because the engineering team had participated in the construction of various major national defense projects and had built hangars on the island.

Listening to Zhao Baiwen say that this is high-tech content, Ye Chen has not intuitively felt it, and now, he is on the man-made island, watching the monstrous waves and listening to the roar of the typhoon, only then did he know that it is not easy to build a hangar on the island, it is a high-tech job.

"The quality of the buildings is pretty good. If all the buildings in the mainland were of this quality, there would be no tofu slag projects. Ye Chen thought of the hated tofu scum project, and he was very emotional.

"Those who do the tofu dregs project must have a black heart. If there is such a person in our army, I will definitely kill him. Admiral Gan's eyes flashed.

After enjoying the wonders of the sea for a while, Ye Chen and they were ready to test.

Ye Chen checked the equipment, there was no problem, and he was very satisfied with the performance of the team members.

"The second phase of sea testing of photonic information technology is now underway. Turn on your device. Ye Chen ordered.

The operator turned on the equipment and it was done in no time.

Ye Chen's eyes widened, staring at the big screen.

"This is the biggest test so far, can it be successful?" Ye Chen's heart tightened suddenly.

Admiral Luo and General Gan and the team members had solemn faces, all of them pursed their lips, and their nerves tensed.
