Major-General Grisdorf and Treskov were right to be worried, but this was actually another mistake made by Hitler.

As everyone knows, landing operations were very difficult in this era, so the offensive and defensive battles of the Soviet and German armies on the Eastern Front were basically carried out by rivers.

Hitler thought the same would be true for the possible landing of American and British troops, so he spent several years constructing a 2,700-kilometer fortress defense line along the Atlantic coast, from northern Norway to the borders of France and Spain.

This is a very ridiculous strategy in an attempt to block the British and American landings with a coastal defense line and to "knock down the landing force on the beach."

The reason is that Hitler did not know what kind of energy or tactics the American army had at this time... In fact, Hitler should not be unaware, because at this time, the Pacific War had been going on for a year, and Japan and the United States had already fought the battles of Midway and Kuah Island, and Hitler could easily obtain the landing tactics and other information of the US Navy from Japan.

Or maybe Hitler already had this information, but he didn't take it seriously.

The reason was that Hitler looked down on Japan...... The Japanese army was badly defeated by the Soviets in the First Battle of Nomenhan, but the Soviets were vulnerable to the German attack, so Hitler believed that the Japanese army and the German army were not on the same level.

Therefore, the information provided by the Japanese was of little reference value to the German army, because the American army was able to achieve victory over the Japanese army, but this was not the case for the German army.

As a result, Hitler continued to focus on building his Atlantic ramparts, and even sent Rommel to northern France to organize and improve these fortifications.

Although Hitler was correct in some aspects, that is, the defeat of the Japanese army cannot be simply compared to the German army, and the tactics, equipment, and quality of the two are different, but one thing is the same...... The fortifications are the same, they are all distributed on the line of defense and will not move or go.

The biggest feature of the US military is that it has developed logistics, which means that the US military basically does not need to consider the issue of ammunition.

As a result, as Grisdorf said, the bombing of these fortifications was only a matter of ammunition, especially under the bombing of aircraft and the attack of large-caliber naval guns of warships after the United States gained air supremacy......

In other words, it was Hitler who invested a lot of time and money in the almost useless Atlantic barriers, just as he built one "wolf's den" after another around the world to protect himself, and it turned out that none of these "wolf's dens" could protect him.

Compared with Hitler, the rebel groups are more rational, after all, they analyze the enemy from the information in their hands, rather than blindly thinking that the race is better and the combat effectiveness and defense will be doubled as Hitler.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Grisdorf reminded Qin Chuan, who was in a daze: "We are waiting for your answer...... How do we defend against enemy attacks? ”

"We can't resist!" Qin Chuan replied.

"What?"

"You're right, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "The main force of our air force is on the eastern front, and there are air forces of the United States and Britain in the direction of France at the same time, and they have absolute superiority. So we can't win this battle! ”

"But you ......"

"I'm talking about solving problems, not winning the battle!" Qin Chuan said.

"Okay!" Major General Treskov nodded and said: "So Lieutenant Colonel, what can you do to solve this problem?" ”

"The solution is to retreat!"

"Retreat? Where to evacuate? Major General Treskov asked.

Someone next to him coaxed: "If we don't have air supremacy, we have to retreat, then don't we have to retreat all the time?" ”

"The lieutenant colonel is not talking about retreat, but about surrender!"

The officers couldn't help but let out a little laugh, only Treskov and Grisdorf didn't laugh, because they knew that the truth seemed to be exactly as Qin Chuan said.

"Maginot Line!" Qin Chuan pointed to a line on the map and said, "This line of defense was built by the French to resist the Germans, why can't we use it to defend against the Americans?" ”

There was a deathly silence in the study.

"Yes!" Grisdorf couldn't help but jump up excitedly: "We only need to make some necessary modifications to the Maginot Line, such as changing its exit orientation and gun port, etc., it won't take long to transform it into a line of defense!" ”

"But, Colonel!" There was a voice of doubt in the study:

"What's the difference between this and the Atlantic barrier?"

"Yes, we are also going to fight a battle without air supremacy!"

"The enemy facing the Atlantic barrier is still on the sea, and the enemy has no place to stand and is easier for us to destroy!"

……

"No, gentlemen!" Qin Chuan replied: "The most fundamental difference between the Maginot Line and the Atlantic barrier is that the Atlantic barrier can only be defended and cannot be attacked, because the enemy is at sea, so we can only watch them bombard us from outside the range, and we have no way to take them, we can't jump into the sea and charge the enemy!" ”

"Yes!" Grisdorf agreed: "The Maginot Line is different, the enemy is also on land, so we can attack and defend!" ”

"The most important thing is that the southeast of France is still mostly mountainous and complex!" Qin Chuan said: "As you know, we can build a defense line like the Gabes Line in Africa based on the Maginot Line!" ”

When Qin Chuan said this, the officers were speechless, because it was obvious that the Gabez Line had successfully blocked the attacks of the Americans and the British in Africa.

"God!" Major General Treskov said: "Only now did I realize how stupid we are, the key has always been in our hands, right under our noses, but we have turned a blind eye to it!" ”

"It also shows how wrong the Führer's defensive strategy is!" "If we had invested the manpower and material resources to build the Atlantic barrier on the Maginot Line instead of along the coast, we would have had little to worry about now!" Grisdorf said. ”

"But ......," Treskov continued, "it will not be an easy task, because the Führer will not abandon the Atlantic barrier!" ”

"We don't need to convince him to give up!" Qin Chuan said: "We just need to prepare in Maginot No, can we do it?" ”

Treskov and Grisdorf looked at each other, then nodded: "Of course! ”

"In addition......" Qin Chuan said, "what you want to convince the Führer is...... Do not use armored forces to defend the Atlantic ramparts, that is no different from suicide! ”
