"What the hell are the British doing? They actually took the initiative to shrink their forces. Doesn't this allow us to complete the landing without any worries? Even if they continue to hold out and then shell our landing ground with artillery, they will have to inflict considerable losses on us! Admiral Crook frowned.

"Who knows what the hell they're up to! However, it doesn't hurt for us. At the very least, several of our main corps have successfully landed. This is the real foothold in the UK. Next, if the British want to drive us into the sea again, it will be impossible! Admiral Birlow said.

"It doesn't matter what the British are going to do. We just need to go on the offensive according to the predetermined plan. I don't believe that the British, having gathered their forces, will be able to withstand our attack! Admiral Hausen was also in high spirits.

These German generals believed that the British army's shrinking of the defensive line and the accumulation of troops would certainly pose a certain threat to the German army. However, overall the threat is not too great. With the combat effectiveness of the German army, it was enough to deal with these British troops.

"General Ludendorff, what do you think?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

"Your Excellency, I think that the British are doing this in order to exploit their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Fighting along the coast, we can get fire support not only from naval warships. At the same time, it was able to receive air support from the Army Air Corps. Plus our original infantry firepower is much stronger than the British. So, fighting us on the coast, the British had no chance of winning at all. If we were fighting inland, our firepower superiority would be quite offset. The naval guns of the Navy, with the exception of the large-caliber main guns of the battleships, could hardly threaten Canterbury. The air force was able to continue bombing the British, but the British also had an air force. Although it is weaker than us, it is also not to be underestimated. In this way, the superiority of the British in military strength can be reflected in a concentrated manner. They may think that with enough military superiority, they can defeat us! Lieutenant General Ludendorff said.

Feng? Marshal Falkenhein nodded: "I also think that the British think so!" However, these factors alone are obviously impossible to defeat us. Even if the British have more troops, they are no match for us. ”

Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhain appeared very confident, he was very confident in the combat effectiveness of the German army.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Even if we don't get the fire support of the naval guns, the Army Air Force will be pinned down by them. However, we still have enough strength to defeat them! The British would be naïve to want to defeat us in this way. Admiral Crook said.

"Your Excellency, the most important thing now is that the British still have a large number of troops in London. If we are not able to defeat and annihilate the enemy quickly, the war will be at a stalemate as soon as the British reinforcements arrive. That would be very bad for us! Lieutenant General Ludendorff reminded.

Feng? The faces of Marshal Falkenhain and others became serious, and the Germans had invested a total of 4 corps and 5 divisions of the Marine Corps in their plans for attacking Britain, and did not plan to invest follow-up troops. Of course, if the situation really requires, one or two more legions can be drawn into the British to fight. But whether it is Feng? Field Marshal Falkenhein and the other generals didn't want the battle to go that far. In that case, it would undoubtedly seem that the war would be even more unfavorable to the German army. They all hoped that with 4 regiments and 5 marine divisions in their hands, they would defeat the British.

So far, with the exception of the more than 200,000 men of the 8th Army Corps, the rest of the units have appeared. Therefore, as soon as the British continued to throw more troops into the battlefield, the situation would be even more unfavorable for the German army.

"Guys, do you have any suggestions for this?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein asked.

"Your Excellency, what if the British were able to draw troops from London? All we had to do was strike quickly and annihilate the main British force entrenched in Canterbury. Then, we will be invincible in this battle. The British army assembled in Canterbury consisted of only five armies, less than a million men. The 1st and 2nd Corps, plus two Marine Divisions, also had nearly 700,000 men. In terms of troops, we are not much inferior to them. At the same time, our combat effectiveness occupies an absolute advantage. In addition, those battleships of the navy can also support us with naval guns. When we launched an attack on Canterbury, we asked the ten battleships of the Navy to launch artillery bombardment of Canterbury and the surrounding area around the clock, which would not only inflict considerable casualties on the British, but also further demoralize them. This will be very beneficial for our next battle! The Army Air Force could also constantly bomb the British to weaken their vital forces as much as possible. Create more favorable conditions for us to operate. Our army can be led by two armored divisions. Quickly penetrate the rear of Canterbury, divide and surround millions of British, and then annihilate them as quickly as possible. In this way, before the British have even reacted, we have an absolute advantage! Lieutenant General Ludendorff suggested.

"That's right, we also have powerful armored forces that can tear through the lines of the British. The 1st and 2nd Panzer Divisions, with more than 500 advanced tanks, were enough to penetrate the British line of defense in Canterbury. Admiral Hausen nodded repeatedly.

"General Ludendorff, I'm afraid the 8th Army will have to come in handy this time, right?" Feng? Marshal Falkenhein said.

"Yes, Your Excellency. How could the 8th Army miss such a big battle? Nevertheless, I propose to change the landing point of the 8th Corps. Previously, we were planning to land in Bournemouth. But it's too far away from the battlefield. I think we could have landed in Eastbourne. After the 3rd Army launched an offensive towards Maidstone, attracting the attention of the British, the 8th Army landed at Isbon as fast as it could. Then attack Maidstone, cooperate with the 3rd Army Corps, and take out Maidstone's British army. In that case, we would have enough reinforcements to Canterbury. At the same time, it is also possible to send strong troops to block British reinforcements from London. Lieutenant General Ludendorff elaborated.

Feng? After Marshal Falkenhein and the others heard this, they nodded again and again.
