“《gelbe pl?ne》？” Maurice Gustave Gammelin, commander-in-chief of the French Army and commander of the British Expeditionary Force, frowned and looked at the somewhat wrinkled plan in his hand, and asked the adjutant beside him, "This is the German war plan you told me about?" ”

"Uh, yes, General!" The adjutant saluted.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Report to the general, this thing was captured by the Belgian Allies." The adjutant replied respectfully, "The Royal Belgian Air Force shot down a German Quick Contact plane that had been lost into Belgium due to bad weather on Belgian territory, and this plan was captured from this plane. ”

"German Quick Contact? Shot down by the Royal Belgian Air Force? Gan Molin pondered for a moment, "Why do I feel that something is wrong?" With those few broken planes of the Royal Belgian Air Force, can they still shoot down Germany's quick contact plane? ”

"I don't know, General." The adjutant lowered his eyebrows and said, "Anyway, that's what the Belgian side has told us. ”

Gan Malin did not speak again, but silently opened the plan and read it.

After more than half an hour, Gan Malin closed the book he had read for most of and rubbed his forehead.

"Although I doubt its authenticity, this plan is really well written. From the beginning to the end of the offensive, not a single thing was missed. Gan Malin said slowly, "Maybe I'm too suspicious. ”

"General, I also think this should be true." The adjutant chimed in.

"Oh?" Gan Molin smiled when he heard this, "You also think it's true?" How do you see that? ”

"General, can I use the map?" Hearing this, the adjutant pointed to the map hanging on the wall of the combat headquarters and pleaded.

"Of course." Gan Molin smiled and made a gesture of pity.

The adjutant nodded, picked up a stick and walked to the map, and said slowly: "General, on the way to deliver this book to you, I also took a general look, and I think the main idea of this book is one word - around!" ”

After listening to the adjutant's words, Gan Malin nodded with interest and motioned for the adjutant to continue.

"General, the Chinese often say that wars are fought at the right time and place, and I think this is very correct! Up to now, it can also reflect the strategic posture of both sides. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the long strip of symbols on the map representing the fortress complex.

"You see, we have one of the strongest lines of defense in the world on the German-French border – the Maginot Line! General, you know it better than I do, it's made of reinforced concrete, equipped with all kinds of cannons, trenches, fortresses, kitchens, power stations, hospitals, factories, etc., and the passages extend in all directions, and there are even tram passages in the larger fortifications! It's completely independent, and even if the Germans storm it for a century, I bet it won't fall. ”

"Then let's look back at the center." As he spoke, the adjutant pointed to Luxembourg, "We don't have to worry about the central part, as we all know, the reason why the Germans were able to sweep Poland and run rampant for a while was because of his powerful armored forces, and behind Luxembourg was the Ardennes Plateau, where the passability was extremely poor, which was very unfavorable to the play of the armored forces, and down was our Maginot Line, so how could it be regarded as the main attack area?" Leon is not stupid, he will never concentrate his combat power in an area that is extremely unfavorable to him. ”

"So, I think the main area of attack of the German army will definitely be placed here!" The adjutant slammed his stick into a spot on the map, "Belgium! The terrain here is open, and 2/3 of the country is hilly or flat lowland, although it is not as plain as Poland, but it is definitely suitable for the assault of German armored clusters! And you also know that our Maginot Line did not reach the Franco-Belgian border due to funding and Belgian idiots, so as soon as the Germans made a breakthrough in that place, they could storm the unsuspecting Motherland! ”

"That's a good point!" Gammelin nodded appreciatively, "So you also think they will choose to attack from Belgium?" ”

"Yes!" "It seems to me that they will definitely attack from Belgium," said the adjutant, "and that's what the plan says." ”

"After listening to your words, I think my suspicions are wrong." Gan Molin said with a smile as he walked up and patted the adjutant on the shoulder, "Your vision is very unique, much more powerful than your predecessor!" ”

"Thanks for the compliment, General!"

"I'm just stating the facts." Gan Malin said with a wave of his hand.

"General, since Germany is going to attack from Belgium, what should we do?" The adjutant asked.

"What do you think we should do?" Ganmalin seems to be in interest.

"I think we should transfer our elite and all the British expeditionary forces to Belgium, and since the Germans want to invade from Belgium, then we will give them a beautiful defensive counterattack there, so as to extinguish the arrogance of Lyons and teach them who is the number one army in the world!" The adjutant said confidently.

"It's pretty much what I thought." Ganmarin nodded and said, "We'll let the Germans, we'll let Leon know that it's awesome!" ”

"Hmm. By the way, General, the plan I submitted last time ......"

"That report on the construction of mechanized troops?" Gan Molin was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

"I'm still thinking about that plan."

"What's there to think about?" The adjutant was anxious, "Haven't you seen the power of the German mechanized troops, General?" ”

"Charles de Gaulle! It's different, you know? The situation is different! Gammelin looked a little impatient, "We are not Germany!" Not even more Poland! Do you understand? The fact that Germany's mechanized troops are powerful does not mean that we are suitable! Just because Poland was swept by German tanks doesn't mean we will be swept away! ”

"But ......," Charles wanted to say.

"Charles, I know you were born in a tank unit and have a soft spot for mechanized troops, but you have to take into account the actual situation!" "Now that we are at war, we don't have the capital to test whether German mechanization is suitable for us," said Ganmalin. ”

Charles lowered his head and remained silent.

"Alright, go down and call General Gott for me, and I'll discuss with him the question of fighting in Belgium." Gammelin waved his hand and motioned for Charles to go down.

"Yes, my general." Charles nodded, and retreated with a look of displeasure on his face.

Two days later, the most elite French First Army (35 divisions) began to enter Belgium in batches, the Ninth Army Corps, which had been defending the French coastal area, also began to advance towards Belgium, and all 10 elite British expeditionary divisions were also assembled in Belgium under the command of General Gott.

Together with Belgium's own 22 divisions, the Allied army in Belgium has reached 1.5 million, and these 1.5 million are all elite, which is the most combative part of the Central Powers.
