It is no exaggeration to say that China's game of dead chess can be completely revitalized by virtue of this path.

First of all, none of these laborers are free, and the people have all good jobs almost overnight, and the problem of food and clothing in a short period of time has been completely solved.

Secondly, it can be said that the transportation of the entire country has been almost completely connected, roads, railways, and bridges, all of which were built by the Allies at their expense and materials, and the long-term effect brought by them is indescribable.

In addition, even if the road is opened, all kinds of supporting facilities and later maintenance costs are also a huge number, and there are always materials on a communication line that must be urgently transported or cannot be carried by vehicles and ships, which means that countless large field airfields must be built along the way, and the Allies have to invest a large number of transport planes into it.

A large number of engineering equipment and means of transportation entered China, and many consumables could not be completely replenished by logistics, which meant that the Allies had to build countless consumables factories for them, ranging from screws and tires to frames, power and even vehicles.

But these are not the main ones, the main thing is that tens of thousands of tons of materials will flow into China, and who knows how many will end up in the USSR?

"I agree with this plan."

In silence, Stalin was the first to express his opinion, which was the only hope he could see at the moment, even if it was a straw, he would hold it in his hands, and it was obvious that Jiang Haoran's plan was much tougher than straw.

Everyone's eyes looked at Roosevelt and Churchill, and the two exchanged glances, and Roosevelt shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, let's implement General Chiang's plan." ”

Although the dust settled, there was not much joy in the conference room, except for Jiang Haoran, I am afraid that everyone was a little unwilling, but in order to save the Soviet Union, they could only choose this only feasible path.

"What about Africa, how do we solve the African crisis? You can't let the Nazis go straight into the British Isles, right? Churchill asked.

Jiang Haoran got up and said: "It is not difficult to solve the African crisis, as long as you are willing to show determination and courage, I have a plan." ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Tell me about it!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became lively, and several voices almost all asked in unison.

Jiang Haoran swept his eyes across the audience, and said loudly: "Take the initiative to attack, open up the second battlefield in Europe, and only stab Germany's rear." ”

Churchill jumped up like a bee and shouted: "You probably don't know that the German army has built an 'Atlantic barrier' defense line on the Atlantic defense line, how can we open up this second battlefield?" ”

Roosevelt also wondered: "Yes, General Chiang, we have already had this idea, and we have made many attempts to land, but they have all failed, so we do not think this is a good plan." ”

The "Atlantic Barrier" is an important military facility specially built by the German army to defend the Western Front, which is 2,700 kilometers long from the northern coast of Norway to the borders of France and Spain, mainly used to prevent the Allies from landing on the European continent, and was once called an invulnerable line by Hitler.

The line is lined with countless pillboxes, artillery positions, and even many batteries disguised as seaside villas, and millions of different types of mines that are about to be found here.

There are many obstacles that slow down the landing, barbed wire, anti-tank horses welded from steel bars, demon blocks with hollow triangular pyramids, anti-tank trenches and dragon's teeth for armored vehicles.

Even in the woodlands and meadows a little further away from the beachhead, dense wooden piles and railroad tracks were inserted vertically to prevent the airborne troops from being airborne, and in low-lying areas, water sources were introduced to form artificial swamps to drown enemy troops.

As a result, this line of defense cast a shadow over the Allies, who made several small tentative landings, all of which ended in heavy casualties.

However, Jiang Haoran knew that the Normandy landing was the most critical turning point in World War II, just because the German army was expected to capture the Soviet Union in front of it and won an unprecedented victory in the African theater, so it did not push the British mainland too tightly as in history, and the offensive in the European theater was not as fierce as in history, so the Allies had not yet made this determination, or they had not been forced to take this step.

Since Jiang Haoran put forward this plan at this time, he naturally calculated that the time was ripe, and he was confident enough to convince the bigwigs in front of him.

The Germans' current focus was undoubtedly on Africa and the Soviet Union, where they had invested at least 70 percent of their troops, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of the next offensive, they had to increase their forces in both places, so they had to find a way to do it on the Western Front, which they thought was an invulnerable "Atlantic barrier." ”

But is the Atlantic barrier really invulnerable?

Even though their defense line is impregnable, they have two fatal weaknesses, the first is that their navy is unbalanced, focusing only on the development of submarines, but ignoring the construction of large surface ships, after several years of war attrition, their navy has few large surface ships left, and can only resist landing with submarines and small ships.

Second, their naval and air defense system is limited, and with the fierce competition between the African theater and the Soviet theater, the German air force will be transferred to both places, and the west coast will definitely be in an extremely weak state.

The appearance of jet fighters in front of us has brought many uncertainties to the air battle, and Germany's production capacity is undoubtedly no match for the United States and Britain, and as long as there are a few months to prepare, the United States and Britain will be able to overwhelm the German army in numbers in the air battle.

No matter how strong a fortress is, it cannot withstand the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of heavy aerial bombs; with the superiority of air and sea supremacy, the Allies can determine a landing site, and at the same time draw up several feints to attack, first in the direction of the feint attack, in order to mobilize the German defensive forces to increase their defenses, and then the Allies will use powerful naval ships as outposts and overwhelming helicopter gunships as the second attack force, and then the airborne troops and landing troops will land forcefully from the selected landing sites to tear apart the enemy's defense line in one fell swoop.

Jiang Haoran was worried that his persuasiveness was not enough, so he got up again and led everyone to the war room next to the conference room.

In the war room, a huge combat sand table on the ground seems to be a condensed map of the entire Atlantic defense line, mountains, rivers, seas, and even fortifications and fortresses of the defense line, etc., all of which are so complete that only Churchill, Roosevelt, etc. are amazed, they can't believe that a person who has never been to the European battlefield or even to Europe can make such a detailed combat map, but they don't know that Jiang Haoran's intelligence system has long been all over the world, and it is only stronger than the military command organization in Dai Li's hands.
