Paul was right, and the relationship that Tleskov used was a colonel's staff officer named Smalling, who served in the High Command.

Hitler, as commander-in-chief of the Supreme High Command, directly commanded the front-line troops through the Supreme High Command, bypassing the German Army Command.

Therefore, Hitler often went in and out of the High Command, stood in front of the sand table, and used his "military genius" to decide the war at the front with the staff officers.

On this day, after Hitler's almost crazy sand table deduction, Colonel Schmering handed Hitler a document as if he remembered something.

"Honorable Führer!" "You previously signed a document, the Maginot Line Renovation Plan, which I followed up and found that the plan was in trouble......"

Hitler took the document, flipped through it casually, and asked, "What predicament?" ”

"General Lu Manlin is not keen on the transformation of the defensive line!" Schmering replied: "They report ......"

Schmerin paused, then continued: "General Lu Manlin seems to care more about balls and hunting, so personnel and supplies have not been effectively mobilized!" ”

Schmering's words were true, and Colonel Paul had tried to persuade General Rumanlin to carry out the renovation program, but General Rumanlin refused on the grounds of insufficient supplies.

Hitler thought about it, closed the document, and said: "Our focus now is on the Eastern Front, and all manpower and material resources must be given priority to the Eastern Front, and even if France is in danger, we should focus on building the Atlantic Barrier." The Maginot Line, it's a backup plan, and I believe that as long as we have enough equipment, the Americans and the British will never be able to hit there! ”

As he spoke, he handed the document back to Schmering.

Schmering sighed secretly, he knew that he had failed in this matter.

The news soon reached Colonel Paul, and Paul immediately found Qin Chuan.

"No accidents!" Paul said: "We have not been able to convince the Führer!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that things were planned to come to this point, but he would be stuck and unable to move by a hedonistic bastard.

The renovation of the Maginot Line was only the first step, and the construction of fortifications in the Alps and the deployment of fortifications in the Ardennes in Belgium were also carried out.

The fortifications of the Alps are not urgent, after all, as long as there are enough helicopters and mountain troops, fighting in the Alps will not be a problem...... Both the American and British forces were naval forces, and they did not have mountain troops at this time, so it was almost impossible for them to attack in the direction of the Alps, and if they did, they would undoubtedly be routed by the Germans who knew the terrain and had helicopters.

(Note: The first U.S. mountain unit was trained by a light infantry division in 1943, and the first British mountain unit began training in the fall of 1942.)

The Ardennes Mountains were also not a big problem, because they were full of jungles, swamps, and highlands, and such terrain was most suitable for the Germans who dared to fight and kill than the Americans...... In particular, the Germans were also heavily equipped with STG44 at this time.

You must know that the U.S. military equipped with M16 in modern times has nothing to do against the Vietnamese army equipped with AK47 in the jungle of Vietnam, not to mention that at this time, the U.S. military has to use M1 semi-automatic against the German STG44 and bazooka in the jungle...... These two can almost be said to be the artifacts of jungle warfare.

Qin Chuan's greatest concern was the Maginot Line, which was also unsuitable for the attack of American mechanized troops, although it had underground fortifications and most of the terrain was also unsuitable for the attack of American mechanized troops.

The reason is very simple, the Maginot Line was originally designed and built to face Germany, so its pillboxes, bunkers, armored towers, etc., all faced the direction of Germany to occupy a favorable position and open perforations.

It is conceivable that if the Germans were not prepared, the US troops only needed to set up a machine gun to occupy any pillbox or bunker to become a powerful firepower point for them, and then rely on the cover of this firepower point to attack one by one, and soon occupy the entire defensive line and quickly make it work.

At that time, the U.S. military would have this defensive line that could be attacked, retreated, and defended...... It could not only ensure the security of France, but also serve as an advance base for the United States and Britain to attack the German mainland.

Conversely, if the Germans had remodeled it and deployed an army, they would have done so without having to deploy an army, since the retreating troops from France would soon fill the Maginot Line.

Then, this offensive and defensible line of defense is in the hands of the German army, that is, the German army has the strategic initiative, and the American army, the British army, and the French army in France will be unable to sit still, because the German army can launch a counteroffensive from any point and carry out a "blitzkrieg" against them as before.

But...... All of this was stranded because of Lieutenant General Lu Manlin.

"I'll try again!" Colonel Paul said: "I hope to convince General Rumanlin!" ”

"No!" Qin Chuan stopped Colonel Paul: "You're wasting your time, Colonel!" ”

"But what can we do!" Colonel Paul said: "We have tried all the methods we can try, and we even know that General Rumanlin is delaying this plan because he is going to build another villa in Berlin!" ”

"What?" Qin Chuan raised his head and looked at Colonel Paul in shock.

"Yes!" Colonel Paul replied: "As I said before, General Rumanlin did not think that the Americans and the British could hit here, but he did not think about how to block them, but to ensure that he would have such an example when he returned to Germany!" ”

This was Hitler's way of rewarding his cronies, who knew they were devouring state property in a frenzy, but he chose to turn a blind eye.

Goering, for example, owns the most luxurious private residence in the country, full of precious paintings and antiques, and he is also an avid collector of treasures from all over the world, to the point of being almost obsessed with it.

Rumanlin is like another Goering, who has been snubbed by Hitler politically and militarily, but because he has helped Hitler for his "exploits" before, he can squander it at will.

After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said to Paul: "Colonel, we have another way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

"I want to ......," Qin Chuan said, "In these days that General Lu Manlin enjoyed in France, there can't be only people like us who hate him!" ”

"Of course!" Colonel Paul replied: "The French people hate him just as much, because he always tries to extract more wealth out of them, but what can they do? ”

"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan said: "What else? ”

Colonel Paul couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he knew what Qin Chuan meant by this.
