The end of the Battle of the Isle of Man meant that the German-led Allied military bloc in Western Europe no longer had any hostile forces left.

The last leader of the opposition on the Western Front, the French reciper Charles de Gaulle, was personally escorted home by Weygand. Churchill, a British war criminal, was also sent to Berlin by the Germans to stand trial.

It is no exaggeration to say that the two-front war of the Third Reich has since come to an end. Next, Germany can devote all its energies to the Eastern Front, ending up with the last threat to its immediate neighbor, the Soviet Union.

Of course, the Germans did not have any remaining troops on the Western Front. However, counting the Vichy French and Norwegian expeditionary forces in Britain, and the upcoming Wehrmacht of the British government of Moseley, the garrison of Germany's allies on the British Isles alone will surely exceed 200,000 men.

In addition, the German High Command would send a detachment of SS British volunteers to the British Isles to recruit foreign troops willing to join the SS. This British SS detachment was also tentatively expected to be expanded into a reinforced division at the end of the day.

Of course, the German Wehrmacht will also leave behind two new infantry divisions to jointly defend the security of the British Isles, the "Atlantic barrier".

In fact, these two newly formed infantry divisions of the Wehrmacht were left behind with the heaviest casualties from the original units that attacked Britain, and on the command framework of these two divisions, a large number of recruits with no combat experience were replenished, and they were mixed with veterans to form two fully equipped infantry divisions.

The combat effectiveness of such an infantry division will naturally not be too high at the beginning. However, since in the short term, the United States, which has not prepared its super-strong transportation capacity in advance, is unlikely to cross the Atlantic Ocean to attack Europe and land on Germany's "Atlantic Barrier," so the recruits of the newly formed infantry division have enough time to conduct military training, run in with veterans, and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

In addition, the rest of the German troops participating in the British campaign, except for the three paratrooper divisions of Student who were transferred to the Eastern Front after quickly replenishing high-quality troops, the remaining divisions still replenished the battle-damaged personnel by replenishing new troops, and then stationed in mainland France to build an "Atlantic barrier" with the Allied forces on the British mainland.

In the same way, these troops also have enough time to train new recruits and restore their combat effectiveness.

In this way, counting the garrison of Vichy France itself, the strength of the Central Powers on the Western Front is close to 800,000, and with the bonus of Atlantic natural hazards, this coalition army is more than enough to defend the "Atlantic Barrier".

And if you include the Spanish troops left on home by the Spanish ruler Franco, the total number of troops deployed by the Central Powers on the Western Front even exceeds 1.5 million.

Such a powerful coastal defense force, even if the US military has prepared a sufficient sea transport fleet and escort fleet, may not be able to break through.

In addition, the German Navy's Dönitz submarine force, which had already trained to intercept the American convoy of supplies to Britain, was quite familiar with the operational environment in the Atlantic, and it became a very difficult resistance that the United States had to face when invading Western Europe.

The Empire's High Seas Fleet, which had greatly increased its tactical strength due to aircraft carriers, also rose in strength after acquiring a large number of military ports, dockyards, and some of the remaining warships of the British Home Fleet after the British surrender.

And the Norwegian Navy, due to the defeat of Great Britain, lost the power to threaten the homeland and existed in the inland sea of the Allied powers. As a result, Norwegian Prime Minister Quisling simply signed an agreement with Germany to transfer all Norwegian naval forces out of their home ports and stationed them in ports handed over by Britain to continue to be deployed by Raeder's Joint Naval Command.

The Italian Navy, controlled by the new Italian Prime Minister Rossi, itself has a large number of battleships, and after acquiring the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal, its power should not be underestimated.

Although they were not directly under the command of Raeder's Combined Naval Command, as a member of the German Gestapo in Rosina, it was not difficult for Reinhardt to cooperate with the Italian Navy in the future.

The naval strength of Vichy France on the Western Front was also very strong, and as long as the benefits were sufficient, Petain had no reason to refuse joint operations. Moreover, Vichy France was now completely tied to the ship of the Allies, and if Petain was unwilling to sink with Germany, then he would have to go all the way with Reinhardt.

And Franco's Spanish fleet, although it is not easy to control, Reinhardt does not need to control them. The Spanish Navy has long been lonely, and after a civil war, its strength has been greatly reduced again. Today's Spanish Navy is enough to be an ornament there, and the already impregnable "Atlantic barrier" really doesn't need them.

After the Atlantic barrier, which was a hundred times more reliable than the so-called "never breached" Maginot Line, settled down, the remaining problem was to share the spoils.

Of the many German allies in the British campaign, France and Italy were the biggest contributors.

On the Italian side, it is good to say that Prime Minister Rossi, who is fully in power in Italy, is his own man, and Reinhardt very cleverly follows the original agreement with Mussolini. As long as the African campaign is over, Italy will not only need to divide part of Libya that the German army helped them defeat and hand it over to German control, but also return all the other colonies recovered by the coalition forces to Italy.

As for the colonies that were about to be taken out of the British, the Suez Canal was under German control, and the German troops under Rommel took over the super-large overseas military bases established by the British in the canal area. The rest of the former British spheres of influence, including Cairo, were used as trophies of war for Italy.

For the Suez Canal, Germany has long coveted and has always wanted to control it. And to give control to the allies, especially the Italian allies, is naturally no more reassuring than the control of the German army personally.

As early as the First World War, Germany's strength could not reach here, so it had to instruct the Turkish allies in World War I to send troops to attack Egypt and seize the Suez Canal. However, that also failed.

However, this time, the troops of the Third Reich came to Africa, and they did not take advantage of this canal, which was of objective value and could create great wealth.

With control of the canal, Germany could reap a steady stream of economic benefits from it even after the war ended.

Moreover, the canal was also of great strategic value to the Allied military bloc. In order to be the head seat of the Allies, Germany had to control the Suez Canal on its own.

Then there was the division of the warships after the surrender of the British Mediterranean Fleet, and there was no doubt about this, and the selfish Reinhardt very "politely" asked Rossi to come over.

In short, Italy was very talkative, and it was very happy to reach a win-win partition agreement with Germany.
