Jiang Haoran ignored everyone's surprise at all, took the command rod from the staff officer and gestured on the sand table, and his mouth began to gush.

The first is the selection of the landing site, which must meet the following three conditions: First, it must be within the radius of the fighter taking off from the British airfield.

Second, the crossing distance should be as short as possible.

Third, there should be a large port nearby.

With a coastline of 480 km stretching from Vlissingen in the Netherlands to Cherbourg in France, there are three areas that are suitable for this measure: the Contantine Peninsula, Calais and Normandy.

In further comparison, the narrow terrain of the Constantine Peninsula made it inconvenient to deploy large forces, and was the first to be rejected. Calais and Normandy have their own advantages and disadvantages, Calais has the advantage of being the closest to the British, only 33km, and close to the German mainland, the disadvantage is that the German defense force is the strongest here, the defenders are elite troops, the fortifications are complete and strong, and there is no large port nearby, and there is also a lack of inland communication lines, which is not conducive to the development of depth after the landing.

Although Normandy is far away from Britain, it has the advantage that the German defense is weak, the terrain is open, and 30 divisions can be deployed at the same time, and the third is that it is only 80km away from Cherbourg, the largest port in northern France. After several trade-offs and comparisons, Jiang Haoran suggested choosing Normandy.

Although Jiang Haoran had already made up his mind about this, in order to convince everyone, he had to explain his reasons in detail.

The result is not unexpected, Jiang Haoran's choice of this location immediately won the approval of everyone, and the next step is the deployment of troops, tactical use, all-round attack, and so on.

After obtaining the consent of all the bigwigs, Jiang Haoran ordered Chen Shaokuan, Gui Yongqing, Stilwell, and Alexander to be called in, and conducted a large-scale war game deduction on the sand table.

With a huge lineup of 2 million troops and powerful land, sea and air coordinated operations, the Allies launched waves of attacks on the German Atlantic barrier in different battlefields and stages.

Jiang Haoran's mind was very clear, and he took into account everything from the influence of water ripples to the changes in the weather, from the preparation for the attack to the tactical feints in the early stage, the main attack, the assist, the division, and the encirclement, pursuit, and interception in the later stage, and the drills one by one, completely exposing the entire landing campaign in front of everyone's eyes.

The whole drill lasted for nearly five hours before it ended, but no one on the scene showed any tiredness, on the contrary, they all behaved very excitedly, especially when Jiang Haoran put down the command pole and announced the end of the drill, the audience broke out into thunderous applause.

Undoubtedly, the results of the drill were gratifying, and the success rate was as high as 70 percent, which was already a very rare achievement in the sand table exercise, which was not only completely operable, but also had a very high success rate.

There was almost no suspense, and Jiang Haoran's plan was immediately recognized by the leaders of the allied forces, and they unanimously agreed that it was the best and most perfect solution at present.

Even in this war room, Allied Commander-in-Chief Eisenhower immediately stopped the Mi Army that was about to leave for the African theater, that is, from this moment on, the Normandy landing campaign had entered the launch stage.

After four months of preliminary preparations, the Allied forces will complete the deployment of troops and the preparation of logistical materials, and it is expected that this plan will be fully implemented in March next year, and the offensive time will be tentatively scheduled for the first day of April.

At this point, the largest landing operation in history has begun at this moment, and the time and place are not much different from history, but the initiator is Jiang Haoran, and it is actually Jiang Haoran.

If this battle is won, the Allies will succeed in opening a second battlefield in Europe, and the German army will be in the dilemma of fighting on three sides and suffering from the enemy, and it is no exaggeration to say that the death knell of the German army will be sounded.

Although the victory belongs to the anti-fascist people of the whole world, the greatest beneficiaries are Britain and the Soviet Union, who will completely get rid of the danger of national destruction and completely extricate themselves from the war.

Especially in the Soviet Union, at the moment the enemy is approaching the city, the city is broken and the people are almost on the line, once the Battle of Normandy starts, the German army is completely possible to withdraw from the Soviet Union in order to protect itself, and the time for the Soviet counteroffensive is also approaching.

The premise, of course, is that the Soviet Union survives this period, after all, it is only September, and there are still almost seven months to go until April next year.

The fundamental factors that can allow them to safely complete this transition depend on Jiang Haoran, the first is that the northwest transportation channel is unblocked as scheduled, so that they can have sufficient supplies to tide over this cold winter. The second is that the Battle of Pingjin began as scheduled, and achieved an unprecedented victory, forcing the millions of Kwantung Army behind the Soviet Union back to the three eastern provinces of China and relieving them of the crisis on the eastern front, both of which were indispensable.

So after coming out of the war room, Stalin and Zhukov followed Jiang Haoran's ass like ass, always emphasizing the key to these two, and respectfully asking Jiang Haoran to go all out, with that humble expression, I am afraid that Jiang Haoran will let them call their father at this time, and they will all agree in a fart.

Of course, Jiang Haoran would not be so vulgar and low-level, he always had a faint smile on his face, and responded to them very kindly, as long as Su, Mi, and Ying can pay the money in time, don't let the laborers work hungry, and all kinds of equipment can be in place in time, and the matter of building roads is on him.

There is no need to worry too much about the Pingjin Campaign, just wait for him to finish this mess of Chittagong, and he will go back to arrange it immediately.

As for the weapons and equipment promised by the Soviet Union in the early stage, it can also be temporarily avoided, anyway, the Allies are now supporting the Soviet Union with a large number of weapons and materials, and when the time comes, just deduct some of them from it.

Of course, Jiang Haoran avoided Roosevelt and Churchill when they said this.

Stalin nodded like pounding garlic, of course, anyway, what has to be paid to the Chinese can now save the trouble of transportation, and get both.

Although Stalin promised beautifully in his mouth, he only scolded his mother in his heart, with this excuse, Jiang Haoran could deduct their materials at will in the future, but now he has to ask for help, and he can only say what others say, as long as there are a lot of ammunition, grain, and medicine, the Soviet weapons can still be supported, and the weapons aided by Mi and Britain in the early stage may only be cheap Jiang Haoran.

Everyone sat down again in the conference room, and General Eisenhower, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, asked Jiang Haoran: "General Chiang, I am curious, the northwest transportation line and the Normandy landing are both very remarkable tactics, and the German army has captured the Suez Canal for less than ten days now, could it be that in this short period of ten days, you have not only completed these two complex strategic ideas, but also perfectly displayed them in the war games?" Or ......"

Eisenhower paused when he said this, but his eyes stared at Jiang Haoran without blinking, and everyone's attention in the venue suddenly focused on the two of them, this question seemed simple, but everyone could hear the sound of the words.

Eisenhower continued: "Or are you already in the foresight, and you are prepared for all this? ”

Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Eisenhower to suddenly ask this question, and in an instant, 10,000 grass and mud horses whistled through his mind.
