Recommend a friend's book: "The Third Reich" by East China Zhixiong. By the way, ask for another monthly pass, there are still thirty votes left to return to the first, brothers, one more?

***********

Rommel couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and it took a while for Rommel to say, "You mean ......?"

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you use naval artillery to bomb incessantly, and planes to constantly drop bombs, it is only a matter of time before coastal fortifications and obstacles are razed to the ground, isn't it?" ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan added: "Including armored troops!" ”

There is actually evidence for this, as was the case in the Battle of Sicily...... The armored forces launched a counterattack against the landing Americans, but the tanks were quickly bombarded by the American naval guns.

If this was not impressive enough for the Germans, then there were examples from the Pacific theater...... The Japanese army also tried to wipe out the American troops on the beach again and again, but most of these Japanese soldiers were finally wiped out without even seeing the American troops, because the American troops used naval guns and bombers to bomb the small islands where the Japanese troops were stationed for several days and nights.

Of course, Rommel may not have paid attention to these examples, but Qin Chuan knew all about them.

Qin Chuan even knew that the U.S. military had gained experience in fighting Japanese troops in the Pacific, and even at what angle and distance naval guns could achieve the best damage and destruction, they had accurately calculated.

What's more serious is ......

"The Allies probably know all about the defense of our Atlantic ramparts!" Qin Chuan said.

Rommel nodded in agreement.

Rommel still knows the skills of the British MI5, after all, Britain is an old spy country, and at this time it has considerable deterrent power in the world.

But in fact, this is a meme left by Rundstead...... A French painter named René Duché accidentally stole the blueprints of the entire German Atlantic rampart and gave it to the Allies.

Of course, Rundstedt knew about it, after all, there was a lack of a blueprint and a worker, and anyone with a little brain knew what was going on.

But Rundstedt did not dare to make a public announcement.

This approach is very clever, if Rundstedt reported it upwards, he would inevitably be punished for this matter, which took several years to invest countless resources in a 2,700-kilometer defense line, and actually lost the complete design drawing?!

If Hitler had known about this, he would not have been good.

But if you don't say it...... Then it is entirely possible to find an excuse that the British MI5 has great powers and obtained this information through its own strength.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Rommel said: "But we have no choice!" ”

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "If, as Marshal Rundstedt said, we use a defense-in-depth strategy...... Of course, the same will not work, because in the absence of air supremacy, these armored units and infantry deployed in the rear will not be able to reach the coastal front line at all, or if they do, they will be blown up by the Allied air power and lose their combat effectiveness! ”

"Yes, that's what I'm trying to say!" Rommel replied: "Shouldn't we choose the lesser of two evils?" Instead of letting tanks blow up on the road before they see the enemy, deploy them on the coastal front! ”

"So ......" Qin Chuan spread his hands: "I don't agree with these two defense strategies!" ”

"Do you have a better way?" Rommel asked.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "In the final analysis, this question is that our army has lost air supremacy, and in the absence of air supremacy, any strategy and tactics are meaningless, unless it ......"

"What?"

"Like the Gabez Line!" Qin Chuan replied: "Only mountainous and complex mountainous areas can eliminate the enemy's superiority in air supremacy as much as possible. In the plains...... From the very beginning, the winner was decided! ”

In fact, another meaning of Qin Chuan's words is that the German army will not fight a war to lose air supremacy, so there was a fiasco in Normandy.

Rommel couldn't help but let out an "oh", and then turned his gaze to the map.

Then he raised his head and looked at Qin Chuan in shock: "This means that we have to give up the entire northern part of France?!" ”

Qin Chuan didn't speak.

Colonel Slane understood something when he heard this, he looked at Qin Chuan in a daze, and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, I want to know...... Are you ready for it? ”

Qin Chuan knew what Colonel Slane was talking about, and Colonel Slein also participated in a series of arrangements for the Maginot Line, but he didn't know Qin Chuan's true intention of operating this line of defense before, and thought it was really as the order said...... As a second line of defense against Allied attacks.

"What is ready?" Rommel looked confused, he obviously did not know the deployment of the Maginot Line.

This is normal, and this is actually the result of Hitler's order...... It is not necessary for officers to know too much intelligence that is not relevant to the mission.

Colonel Slain glanced at Qin Chuan, and then replied, "Your Excellency, Marshal, we have been ordered to serve as an advisor to the Maginot Line for a period of time. The lieutenant colonel made a series of deployments in and around the Maginot Line! ”

"Oh? What kind of deployment? Rommel was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and he was worried that it would be too late to start thinking about Maginot now.

Colonel Slain set his eyes on Qin Chuan, meaning that this was more appropriate for Qin Chuan.

"Your Excellency, Marshal!" Qin Chuan answered: "To be exact, it is the deployment made with the help of Lieutenant General Lu Manlin!" ”

"Lu Manlin?" Rommel said: "Seiffert . . . Feng. Lu Manlin? ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan thought for a while before answering in the affirmative, because he didn't remember Lieutenant General Lu Manlin's full name very clearly.

"He's going to help you?" Rommel's face was full of surprise.

"The lieutenant colonel saved his life!" Colonel Slane said.

"Even if it were, he wouldn't help anyone!" Rommel said, "He's a bastard who thinks only about himself!" ”

It sounds like Rommel had something to do with Lu Manlin.

After a pause, Rommel said, "Forget it, tell me what you did on the Maginot Line!" ”

"Actually, I didn't do anything!" Qin Chuan replied: "We're just ...... The Maginot Line has been reactivated! ”

"What, what do you mean...... The Maginot Line is now functional? Rommel's eyes widened, and he knew of course that this was not an easy thing to do.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "We have made some changes to it, that is, to make it face France instead of Germany like before. ”

Rommel looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief, and then at Colonel Slain.

Colonel Slane nodded in the affirmative.

"And then ......," Qin Chuan said, pointing to the map, "we have also made some preparations in the Defensive Mountains and the Ardennes Mountains to connect them with the Maginot Line. Then some air defense systems were added......"

When Qin Chuan said this, he didn't notice that Rommel's jaw was about to fall in surprise.
