The Anglo-German campaign, from the first stage after the beginning of the war, showed its obviousness.

On the one hand, the Allies' Triple Coalition at Dover successfully pinned and annihilated the main coastal defense force deployed by Churchill, eliminating about two infantry divisions, a British regular army the size of a semi-armored regiment, and about 120,000 British native National Guards.

Next, Weygand will command 3 French divisions, 1 Norwegian division, and 1 Norwegian reinforced battalion to continue the march to Rochester in the northwest.

The three German paratrooper divisions will remain in the area of Dover, garrison and expand the coastal landing grounds, and wait for the arrival of the 4th batch of German troops with a total of 1 panzer division and 4 infantry divisions. After that, the last German landing force will quickly follow the route of the Franco-Norwegian army and launch a lightning attack on London.

The main reason for this arrangement on the Dover side was that Reinhardt and Spudent did not want the precious paratrooper division to be consumed as a light infantry division in the next advance operation.

And Rochester is almost the gateway to London, and the French and Norwegian troops pressed up, just to clear the road from Dover to Rochester, and the real capture of this important town still had to be carried out by the elite German army.

On the other hand, the operation around Portsmouth was unusually smooth, and the 3rd 4 divisions belonging to Adolf Strauss's 9th Army also joined up with the 16th Army, the 1st Special Service Division, of General Justest Busch of Portsmouth.

At the same time as Dover's victory, Portsmouth's German army would also attack Guildford to the northeast, and then threaten Woking's British army, leaving the gateway town southwest of London unstable.

In both directions, the Germans made a breakthrough and it went quite well.

Because of the sea and air supremacy, this elite landing army also has good logistical supplies.

The only thing worth paying attention to is that the decisive battles launched in both directions were the responsibility of the German army.

There were many people who saw this, and one of the more important people was Wei Gang, who was the commander of the landing force of the Allied Powers in France and Norway. The other, named Gort, was the commander of the home forces of the British forces in the Axis powers.

"It is impossible for the Germans to put any crucial battle in charge of the French generals!" At the headquarters of the British Army in London, Lord Gott swore and shouted: "No matter how hard the French and Norwegians in Dover fight, it is also an illusion of representation. The Germans' focus must have been on Portsmouth, which was entirely under the responsibility of their own army! ”

Lord Gott is also one of the most experienced senior generals in the British Empire in fighting the German army. Especially since his disgraceful escape from Dunkirk, Gott began to study the German combat style day after day.

After comparing the history of the German army, and even recounting the examples of World War I, Goth found a characteristic.

Perhaps because of Germany's tragic geographical location, the German army has been fighting against all kinds of enemies in the surrounding area for nearly 100 years. Surprisingly, they often defeated one enemy after another with their own armies and achieved a large number of brilliant victories imbued with the so-called Prussian spirit.

However, this spirit seems to have undergone some kind of subtle mutation after Reinhardt came to power.

Gradually, the Germans seemed to have formed a strange mentality, as if it was not their own victory, it was not called victory! Moreover, the German army began to become more and more enthusiastic about using the manpower and material resources of other countries in the war to share the military pressure for itself.

In the Norwegian campaign, the Germans would rather give up their first-mover advantage than let Britain make the first move, so as to use Norway's military strength.

In the African campaign, the German army was only willing to send a small number of troops there, but it involved the main forces of the Italian army and the French army in Africa, and the British army in Africa on the other side.

In today's landing war on the British mainland, the German army has drawn the navies of Italy and France, and the armies of France and Norway have to turn the war from the mode of going it alone that the Germans have always liked to fight in groups.

To put it bluntly, the German army seems to have changed from the last world war, which singled out the whole world and loved whoever the allies loved, to today, pulling together all the forces that can be co-opted to deal with their own enemies together.

However, this is not the point, the point that Lord Gott discovered is a super key that can be used in reverse!

Although the Germans pulled together a bunch of allies each time, they were accustomed to putting allies in secondary directions for feints. And the truly most harmonious combat mission was carried out by the German army alone!

This meant that Lord Gott could use this to reason in reverse, as soon as there were German and German allied forces at the same time in two different directions. Then, the direction in which the German army should undertake combat missions purely must be the most important core operational direction in the Allies' battle plan.

"We can't put the last of our strength into Dover." Gort concludes with his army commanders: "The enemy of Dover is not what we need to watch out for. It was the German army around Portsmouth that posed a mortal threat to London. ”

"But the commander ......," a lieutenant general reminded Gott, "according to the Prime Minister's order, we have transferred the 51st Infantry Division of Scotland and the 3rd New Armored Regiment of the Capital to Dover. Without these two main forces, the reserves in our hands together do not exceed the size of five regiments. ”

"As for the National Guard, we have 140,000 people in the vicinity of London. However, their combat effectiveness is really limited, and it is better to leave the periphery of London to help build a defensive line. The lieutenant general swallowed his saliva and ended helplessly.

The reason for this problem is indeed due to the scarcity of British land forces. The two defeats in Dunkirk and Norway cost them nearly 300,000 British troops. And such losses have already made the remaining troops of the British mainland less than half of what they were before the war!

Immediately after the lieutenant general's words, relying on Lord Gort, he was able to pick up a life from Dunkirk, and Montgomery, who had been promoted to lieutenant general at this time, also interjected: "Commander, the battle report has been sent back from Dover's side, and a small number of German paratroopers, using the small airfield temporarily built by the Germans in Dover, have begun to carry out small-scale airborne operations again, penetrating the rear of Dover. If we don't support Dover, perhaps, in the direction of Dover, we will lose faster than Portsmouth! ”

"Isn't the battle going on both sides......" Lord Goth frowned and said in a low voice.

After a long time, he continued word by word: "Since this is the case, we can only deal with it in the stupidest way......"
