And the million troops of Army Group South will be hidden in the Ardennes Forest. In addition, Germany itself will send 1 million reserve troops to us, and our total strength will reach 3.79 million. Of course, the number of our aircraft, tanks and other weapons is still at an absolute disadvantage, but if we put the battlefield on the Maginot Line on the Franco-French border, we will have the right time, place and people. The only thing we should pay attention to is to deploy a large number of radars on the border to prevent the British and American air forces from sneaking up on our industrial areas.

Our strategy is to wait for the British and American forces to land and inflict a large number of casualties, and then resist step by step, retreat step by step, lead them to the Maginot Line, and then arrange a huge encirclement in front of the Maginot Line to annihilate these landing British and French forces in one fell swoop.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of Britain and the United States, none of the coastal defense divisions arranged on the Atlantic barrier did not move, and we only quietly transferred the four armored divisions around Normandy, because I judged that the British and American forces were about to land in Normandy. ”

"Commander-in-chief, in addition to the coastal defense division, we also have field troops! I don't think each group army is sending an infantry division to the Normandy area, so that there are four infantry divisions to reinforce it, and we have 10 infantry divisions and 4 armored divisions in the entire Normandy area, with a strength of 200,000 troops. ”

Li Mo thought about it too, the main thing is that the British and American coalition forces will use airborne operations, and the Normandy area does need some troops to guard their backs, and the Normandy defense troops can use all their 90,000 troops for beach defense, so that they can use it. The German division in Normandy was to be defended from 40 km to 20 km, and the strength of the defense was almost doubled.

"Commander-in-chief, many of our Normandy fortresses have not been completed, should we use this time to complete Jiajing."

"Of course you can, it's just that our construction can be put at night, and we should try to camouflage it as much as possible."

Marshal Gluck was in charge of Normandy, so it was his duty to build the unfinished fortress quickly, and the building materials and 380 mm cannons used in the construction of the fortress were sufficient.

Because Li Mo only needs to build the defenses of Normandy, and the fortresses of the other defensive sections can be temporarily suspended, and of course they can also be pretended. Deceive the Allied reconnaissance planes with one. If the Allies choose and the period of history landed. Then more than a month was enough for Li Mo to prepare, and Hitler's decisiveness did not hesitate to transfer Li Mo from the strangled Eastern Front to the Western Front. It undoubtedly adds variables to the re-emergence of a major inflection point in history.

Most of the deployments of the German army. No changes have been made. Only four armored divisions close to Normandy quietly advanced thirty kilometers from Normandy, and then used the local forests to cleverly hide.

There is also a reason why Li Mo did not place his tanks on the beach, and the first beach was not suitable for armored combat. In addition, there are countless naval guns of the British and American coalition forces, in order to avoid the naval guns of the British and American coalition forces, Li Mo can only arrange the tank cluster thirty kilometers away from the coast.

After Li Mo arranged all the tasks, he immediately flew to the Maginot Line to inspect the Maginot Line on the spot, and at the same time asked Hitler to transfer Marshal Moder to the Western Front as the commander-in-chief of the Maginot Line.

As soon as Moder arrived at the Maginot Line, the works began, because the number of one million reservists drawn from the German mainland had reached more than 100,000, and with these soldiers, it was enough to start the reconstruction project.

At the same time, the 75 German divisions stationed in Western European countries also received Limer's order to start changing guards with the EU troops, which will take more time to transfer troops, and it is conservatively estimated that it can be completed within a month.

In short, all the work on the Western Front is running efficiently under the command of Li Mo, and all the goals are working hard to build a huge encirclement.

……

As early as September 1940, Stalin proposed to Churchill the request to open a second theater in Europe to carry out a strategic flanking attack on Germany, but at that time the United States had not yet entered the war, and Britain was simply unable to organize such a large-scale strategic landing operation. In response to the Soviet Union's suggestion, Britain responded only by sending small forces to carry out sneak attacks and harassment on the European continent.

Seeing that the Soviet Union could not bear it anymore and that the United States had already joined the "Atlantic Charter" organization, the Soviet Union and the United States and Britain issued a joint communiqué and reached a full understanding and consensus on opening up a second battlefield in Europe, but Britain made some reservations about the obligations it undertook in the memorandum.

In March 1941, the Anglo-American London Conference, but at this time the Soviet-German battlefield situation was very serious, the German army had advanced to Stalingrad, and the Soviet Union strongly requested Britain and the United States to launch a landing operation in Europe to contain the German army and reduce the pressure on the Soviet army. Britain hastily dispatched an assault force of 6,018 men to land in Diep, France, but suffered a crushing defeat with 5,810 casualties, or 96.5%.

In April 1941, the Anglo-American Conference of Casablanca, which adopted the decision to land in Sicily in the first half of the year, at this meeting, Britain insisted on postponing the landing on the European continent on the grounds that the complexity and danger of a large-scale amphibious landing must be carried out with caution. In fact, Britain wanted to take advantage of the Soviet-German rivalry, and on the other hand, it wanted to use the power of the United States to restore the traditional power of the British Empire in North Africa and southern Europe before the war.

Of course, it was opposed by the United States, and as a compromise, Britain agreed to set up a Anglo-American Special Planning Staff to be responsible for drawing up landing plans in Europe. British Army Lieutenant General F. Morgan served as Chief of Staff. Immediately after Morgan took office, he formed the "Kausak", which was the Supreme Staff of the Allied European Expeditionary Force, and the main members were the deputy chief of staff, Brigadier General Ray of the United States Army. Vice Admiral Mountbatten, commander of the British Joint Operations Command, who commanded the sneak attack and harassment operations on the European continent, was also an ex officio member of Barker, the representative of the Army, Navy, Air Force and all branches of the armed forces involved in the landing.

According to the lessons learned from previous landing operations, the landing site must meet the following three conditions: First, it must be within the radius of fighters taking off from British airfields, second, the crossing distance should be as short as possible, and third, there should be a large port nearby. The 480-kilometre stretch of coastline from Vlissingen in the Netherlands to Cherbourg in France is a good place to measure: the Contantine Peninsula, Calais and Normandy. In further comparison, the narrow terrain of the Constantine Peninsula made it inconvenient to deploy large forces, and was the first to be rejected. (To be continued......)
