Dover, United Kingdom.

It is the closest place to mainland Europe and is the top priority of the British Army's home defense. Dense fortifications have already been built on the beach. There were trenches, barbed wire, mines and firing points everywhere.

Over the past few months, the British have completely turned this place into a fortress. On the one hand, the determination of the British to defend their homeland was demonstrated. In addition, their fear is also expressed. After all, the opponent was the German Army, which was the number one in the world. Whether it could withstand the German attack or not, the British Army was not at all sure from top to bottom.

Although, the total strength of the British Army has expanded to more than four million men. But the troops they can arm are only more than 3 million. The rest of the troops, none of which were equipped with any decent weapons. Moreover, those troops that are armed are also seriously lacking in heavy weapons. There are only a small number of elite troops, which are relatively well equipped. But even so, it is still not very difficult to confront the elite German Army decently.

Several cars drove up to the beach in Dover, but the beach was empty. It was too hot, the soldiers were hiding in the shade, and no one was going to stay on the beach. Originally, Dover was supposed to be crowded in the summer, with many people coming here to enjoy the beach and sun. But when the clouds of war hung over the British Isles, no one had such idleness anymore. Everyone hoped that the war would end sooner. That way, they won't have to suffer from the ravages of war.

Some people stepped out of the car, led by a tall man. He is none other than Winston Churchill, the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. By his side, followed by Secretary of War Richard? Haldan, Commander of the British Army's Home Forces, Ian ? Admiral Hamilton. There are other high-ranking generals of the British Army, and their glittering epaulettes can undoubtedly tell that these people are very high-status, and they can be described as shining stars.

"Well, these fortifications are well built. If the Germans dare to attack from here, we will definitely make them pay an unimaginable price! Churchill put down his binoculars and looked satisfied.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, over the past few months, we have been repairing the fortifications in the coastal areas. However, our coast is too long, so we can only build fortifications in key places. In our opinion, the landing of the Germans in these areas is undoubtedly the most likely. "Ian? Hamilton said.

"Which areas could become the places where the Germans landed?" Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency, judging from the information we have so far, the line from Eastbourne to Margate is likely to be a key target for the Germans. It was the closest to France, and the Germans had to cross the strait if they wanted to land. In addition, the three main army groups of the Germans, all deployed opposite. So, we can conclude that this line will be their main landing strip if the Germans are going to land! Hamilton continued.

Although, he was not able to become the commander of the expeditionary force as he wished, and was preempted by Sir French. However, while staying on his homeland, he became the commander of the native army, commanding millions of troops to prepare for the German landing. This is also a high-ranking position. Even, in the case of war, Hamilton's status was further raised.

"Are we capable of stopping the landing of the Germans?" Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency, the main forces of the Home Army are currently concentrated in the South-East and London. The Lord Chancellor and I were to be the Commanders of the South-East and the London Theater respectively. If the Germans were really preparing to land in the southeast, I believe we would have been able to make them pay a very heavy price! 'Hamilton looked confident.

A landing battle is inherently a battle with very heavy casualties, especially as the landing party, when sending troops to land, they will be directly exposed to the heavy firepower of the defender. This will cause them to suffer heavy casualties in the process of landing. It would be better if the defender could build strong fortifications. With any luck, it's not impossible to have the beach red with blood and a mountain of corpses.

"Well, that's good!" Churchill nodded repeatedly.

"Gentlemen, though in this war the Germans have the upper hand. The Royal Navy has been completely lost. But the British Empire would never have yielded to the barbaric Germans in this way. We will continue to fight and make them pay heavy losses in the battle against the British mainland. I believe that when the Germans' losses were too great to bear, they would compromise. When the time comes, we will reach a peace that is beneficial to us. Churchill said to the crowd. And this is also the goal he has always adhered to.

Churchill knew that it was impossible to defeat Germany in this war. Therefore, he actively began to plan for the next war. This includes retreating to Canada once the mainland cannot be defended, and secretly forming alliances with the Americans. These were all preparations for the future of the British Empire.

Of course, Churchill also hoped that he would be able to keep his homeland. This is undoubtedly the best outcome for them. If Britain could keep its homeland, even if it lost all its overseas colonies, it would still be able to hold on. Tens of millions of British people will be provided with enough soldiers. After the war broke out in the future, it was entirely possible for Britain to unite with the United States and other countries to defeat Germany.

If the homeland cannot be defended, then Britain, which has lost its homeland, will lose its strength greatly. Even if it is a combination with other countries, it will not make much difference. If their strength is weak, the war dividends they can share after the war will naturally be pitiful.

Therefore, Churchill hoped that the Home Army would resist the German attack no matter what. In this way, they will be able to keep their homeland. In future wars, they will have a better chance of winning. He would never want to give up his homeland unless he had to.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Prime Minister!" The generals also replied. They also knew what the situation was like for the British Empire. If we don't work hard, there will be no future for the British Empire. Therefore, these generals will also do their best in this war.

Of course, it is very difficult to say whether it will work or not.
