Plymouth, is a British naval base and port city.

It is located in the heart of Plymouth Bay in southwest England, between the Prime and Taymaar rivers, and borders the English Channel. A naval shipyard was built here as early as 1690, and Devon Harbour in the south was an important port for the British Navy.

How could such an important military port be a landing site? Even if you find a beach to land, it's better than here!

However, everyone has a kind of worship for Ciric, and no matter what strange ideas Ciric proposes, they will not hesitate to carry it out.

Like now.

After the initial surprise passed, Marshal Keitel, as the host, began to analyze, and since he was promoted to marshal, he worked harder.

"It is not easy to land at Plymouth Military Port, where at least 30,000 British troops are stationed, and according to our calculations in advance, in the landing operation, the defenders have the advantage, and we must have at least a ten-to-one ratio to have a chance of winning."

When it landed in Brest, France, the German navy showed its strength, but it was only a surprise, the other side was unprepared, and it was different to land on the British military port.

"Judging from our current capabilities, we can send up to one Marine division at a time." Keitel said: "Even with the airborne troops, the number of troops that can be delivered at one time will not exceed 30,000, which is a one-to-one ratio, and in a landing operation, this is definitely a dangerous ratio." ”

Although the shipyard is running at full capacity, it is impossible to build ships all at once, even if it is to integrate French shipbuilding enterprises, it will take time, and now, this is the embarrassing time.

The delivery capacity is simply insufficient, if you count ordinary merchant ships, it is not a lot, but the first shock wave, it is necessary to have a special landing ship.

Not enough, not enough at all.

"If we can't amass more power, why not think of weakening the British?" "We made a feint to make the British think we were going to land in Dover, so what should the British do? ”

Unlike in history, the British expeditionary force has already surrendered to Germany! Before Britain could afford to pay the ransom, these prisoners of war were sent to Speer, and the German-controlled mines lacked enough labor.

Therefore, the current military strength of Britain is very poor, although they claim to have millions of troops, but the real team is still about 200,000 troops stationed at home, and the rest are just newly recruited boy scouts.

Therefore, if it can be determined that the place of the German landing is Dover, then the British, in order to strengthen the defense there, will have to send from other places, such as Plymouth, so that there is no need to maintain the size of 30,000 men, 10,000 men are enough.

Ciric gradually opened up their minds, in this case, they can consider all of a sudden, put on a menacing posture, let the British be fooled, the British army's mobility ability is very poor, so that when their own side attacks in Plymouth, the other party will not be able to mobilize at all!

It can be said that the important task of the first landing force is to hold its position and hold out until the arrival of the second batch of troops. And if the port is directly occupied, it will be more convenient to load and unload goods, and the attack will be more rapid and effective.

Another advantage of choosing Plymouth is, of course, that you don't have to worry about those mines!

As an important port in Britain, there will be no mines near Plymouth, after all, the British can't seal themselves up.

With Ciric's proposal, the scene came alive again, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, even the officers of the Army.

"I think we should have placed a large number of suspicious troops in Calais and other places, even once or twice, to provoke the British and make the news of our intention to land in Dover more reliable." Manstein said.

Cross-service! What does the army say about the navy! Hearing this, Raeder frowned.

Navy, not enough! To take into account the Atlantic, but also to take into account this landing, how much strength can the Navy have? If you were to deploy suspicious soldiers on the Calais line, you wouldn't have that much strength at hand.

"This time, landing in England, we are also helping the French to take revenge." Ciric said magnanimously: "This time we have landed across the sea, France cannot be idle, well, I suggest that we should organize a French volunteer division to fight with us across the strait." ”

Foreign Reinforcements! As for this plan, Ciric has thought about it for a long time.

As the war progressed, and as the territory continued to expand, Germany would definitely face the problem of soldiers, how to solve this problem? Of course, it's looking for foreign volunteers!

The spineless French surrendered, the French army was disbanded, and at this time, those soldiers who were used to holding rifles, there must be someone who was willing to return to the army and give them this opportunity themselves!

Assemble a French force and fight to England! Just think about it, and you can see how pleasing it is!

Is it impossible? Of course not! Now that the British Navy has opened fire on the French Navy, the two sides are no longer friends, but enemies!

In Dunkirk, the British betrayed the French allies, and in North Africa, the British opened fire on France, this is a blood feud!

When they heard about the French volunteers, everyone smiled knowingly, yes, this is indeed a solution! Moreover, in this way, the news of their landing in Dover will be easier to reach the ears of the British!

So, the general policy was thus decided, and the detailed plan was naturally completed by his subordinates.

The landing site is only one aspect of it, and how the various arms of the army cooperate and how to quickly seize air supremacy once the battle starts are all very important, and Germany already has a wealth of experience, and of course there is no need for Shirek to do everything himself.

And Ciric also took advantage of the time of the past few days to check how the integration of French industry is going.

France is the fifth largest industrial country in the world, and because the French war went on very quickly, France's industry suffered almost no losses, and now, the industrial areas in the north have been directly occupied by Germany, so correspondingly, these industries have also been taken over by Germany.

The German thugs began here! The main forces are fully mechanized, all kinds of warships are dumplings, and aircraft are expanding production, which is completely inseparable from French industry!

As Germany's Quartermaster in charge of production, Speer stayed in France during this time.
