Rommel excitedly added, "That's right, Lieutenant Colonel. If we hold on to the 'Atlantic Barrier', none of these opportunities will exist...... the French people around the 'Atlantic Barrier' have been emptied, and the Allies can bomb with confidence. At the same time, once the defensive line is broken through by the Allies, we will not be able to secretly manipulate the victory or defeat of the two French armies and provoke their contradictions! ”

"But that's France!" Hitler objected: "France with many factories and manpower. ”

"We can move the machines to Germany as much as possible!" Qin Chuan replied: "As long as we do this in a planned and step-by-step manner, the loss will be minimized." ”

"Just like the Soviets did?" Hitler shook his head and said: "No, I will not give in, I will not run away like the Soviets, never!" ”

There was an awkward silence in the conference room for a moment, and Hitler's fierce eyes looked at Qin Chuan and then at Rommel from time to time.

Apparently, he was thinking about how to deal with these two dissenting subordinates...... One was the commander of the 'Atlantic Barrier' that he designated, and the other was a well-known hero on the front lines.

Normally, people with different political views from Hitler were usually removed from office, and this time was no exception.

But Qin Chuan didn't flinch, he took a step forward, pointed to the map and said, "No, Your Excellency, if you think that we are running away or retreating, then you are mistaken!" ”

"So what do you think this is?" Hitler asked: "Abandon the whole of France and retreat to the 'Maginot Line'?" Here is only a step away from Germany, their shells can hit Germany, and you say that this is not a retreat? ”

After a pause, Hitler continued: "We need land, resources, factories and manpower in France, and if we lose them, the disparity in power between us and foe will be even greater!" ”

"You are right, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan replied: "So we didn't give up France!" ”

"What does it mean not to give up France?" Hitler asked.

Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "We will eventually withdraw to this line of defense, stretching from the plateau and mountains of southern France to the Alps, to the 'Maginot Line' and then to the Ardennes ......."

"This has given up most of France!" Hitler interrupted Qin Chuan's words: "Even if we can hold it, there may be less than a third of the area left, and it is still barren mountains and plateaus!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "But...... When we hold this line of defense, what if we can accumulate strength and launch a counteroffensive in the Ardennes with armored forces? ”

Hearing this, Hitler couldn't help but be stunned.

This is not a battle plan made by Qin Chuan on a whim or a pat on the head, but a similar counteroffensive by Germany in history, which is called the "Ardennes Counterattack".

However, due to the fragility of the German defense line and the serious loss of strength, the "Ardennes Counterattack" failed to win the victory and turn the tide of the war in the end.

Rommel looked at the map, then looked at Qin Chuan in surprise and said, "Very good idea, Lieutenant Colonel!" ”

Rommel then turned to Hitler: "Your Excellency, so that we can use the superiority of the armored forces to fight another blitzkrieg, the result of which is a large and widespread encirclement of the Allied forces deep into France...... We may not be able to confront the Allies in the air and at sea, but we can defeat them on land and reoccupy France! ”

Hitler stared at the map silently, his face cloudy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

But Qin Chuan and Rommel knew that this already meant that Hitler was tempted, and he was just hesitating.

Qin Chuan finally added another fire: "Your Excellency, we fought from Africa to the Eastern Front, and from the Eastern Front to the Western Front. In the course of this operation, we fully realized the difference between the Soviet Union and the British and American allies in their combat methods! ”

"What's the difference?" Hitler asked.

"The Soviets, the most important thing for them is industry and equipment!" Qin Chuan replied: "They lack this, so they are always desperate to protect their factories, machines, tanks, etc., but they are not short of people, so there are always soldiers armed with only one rifle on the battlefield charging at us in batches." ”

Hitler nodded in agreement: "So we fought with the Soviets, and the most important thing was to capture their industrial areas and oil fields, such as Baku, Stalingrad!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Qin Chuan did not forget to flatter Hitler: "So, you are a very wise commander on the Eastern Front, although we finally withdrew from Stalingrad, but destroyed Stalingrad's industry...... Almost half of all tanks in the USSR were produced by the Stalingrad Tractor Plant. The most important thing is that we occupied Baku, which not only made us no longer short of oil, but also limited Soviet industry to a considerable extent, making the Soviets unable to organize a large-scale counteroffensive in a short time! ”

As the saying goes, "Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear", these originally belonged to Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan put it firmly on Hitler's head.

Hitler's self-proclaimed "military genius" certainly sounds very useful. His face couldn't help but soften, and he asked, "What about the British and the Americans?" ”

"The British and the Americans are completely different!" Qin Chuan replied: "Their industries are all islands, we can't threaten their industries, and of course we can't attack their homeland, especially the United States!" ”

Hitler couldn't help but nod...... If Britain can still bomb with planes and V1s, then the United States is almost on the other side of the world.

"So!" Qin Chuan came to the conclusion: "Our battle on the Western Front is completely opposite to the east...... The Soviets did not lack equipment and personnel, while Britain and the United States did not lack equipment and personnel. Then our war against Britain and the United States should not be directed against their equipment, but against their living forces, that is, people! ”

After a pause, Qin Chuan continued: "If we defend the 'Atlantic Barrier', it is equivalent to fighting against British and American machines instead of people, they only need to produce shells and bombs from the factory, and then transport them in front of us or drop them overhead." There is no end to this, because they have countless resources and machines, and with one shell they can produce two, and with one bomb they can produce two! We can't win if we go on like this, we can only let them in, and then beat them in and around them, and teach these pampered guys who only know how to hide away from the cannons and drop bombs, so that they can know our history! ”

Hitler raised his head, his eyes shining with a blazing light, and replied: "You convinced me, lieutenant colonel!" Great advice! ”
