Hot recommendation:、

The navy has 5 destroyers, 52 submarines, 16 ocean-going minesweepers, 116 patrol ships, 309 minesweepers, 34 torpedo boats, and 42 gunboats, making a total of only 561 small and medium-sized warships.

These warships are of little use in the English Channel, which is only 200 nautical miles at its widest point and 80 nautical miles at its narrowest point.

Since the start of the war, although the British Navy has been successfully attacked by Li Mo once, and most of the main battleships of its home fleet have been destroyed, but Britain has a strong shipbuilding capacity, and in the past year, Britain has built a total of seven aircraft carriers, and converted more than 20 aircraft carriers with large 10,000-ton merchant ships, and at the same time, Britain has also completed the remaining construction of five battleships, and there are countless destroyers.

It can be said that the British Navy after Li Mo's sneak attack was almost resurrected in situ, and the German Navy attacked many times in order to hit Britain's sea transportation lines, and as a result, it became a war of attrition with Britain.

Several German battleships also almost all went to the bottom of the sea, some of these battleships were sunk by the British, and some were sunk by the British and American forces, and the German Navy could only be tofu scum in front of the Anglo-American combined fleet.

Germany's air force deployed on the Western Front was the 3rd Air Force, which had about 450 combat aircraft, including 160 fighters. Compared with the number of Allied combat aircraft, it is at an absolute disadvantage of 1:30. The defenders in the Normandy area were 6 divisions and 3 regiments belonging to the 7th Army, including 3 coastal defense divisions, which were weak in combat effectiveness; 2 infantry divisions, 1 armored division. Slightly stronger in combat; The 3 regiments are 2 separate infantry regiments and 1 paratrooper regiment, with a total strength of about 90,000 people.

The fortifications were also relatively weak, with only a few independent support points of reinforced concrete. Most of the fortifications were field fortifications, and only a few anti-aircraft landing obstacles were set up in depth. At this time, the German armored forces deployed in France had only one fully manned panzer division. i.e. the 21st Panzer Division.

Historically, in April 1944, Hitler judged that Normandy would be the landing site of the Allied forces and asked for additional troops, and Rommel transferred the 352nd Infantry Division originally stationed in Saint-Lo to Normandy in accordance with this instruction.

(Hitler still had good judgment in some aspects, but Germany's comprehensive national strength was really unable to compete with Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, and it was in a situation where it was attacked from all sides, so it could not be defeated.)

The next day at noon. Several commanders above the group army rushed to the general headquarters of the Western Front, and after a short rest, they immediately convened a strategic meeting, according to Li Mo's requirements, all participants were not allowed to carry watches, notebooks, pens, and the content of the meeting was forbidden for anyone to record and circulate, at this time British and American spies were already pervasive. Li Mo had to be extra careful.

Even the codebook in which Limmer contacted Hitler was based on the "original codebook" that Limmer provided to Hitler. This original code is undecipherable and changes every month. At least in the telecommunications section, Britain and the United States will not know as much about German military operations as they have historically.

The senior commanders in attendance were:

Field Marshal Gluck of Army Group B, under the command of the 15th Army, commanded by General Salmut, commanded by the 7th Army, commanded by General Dorman, Army Group G, commanded by General Blaskovice, under the command of the 1st Army. The commander is Lieutenant General Chevaleri, who is in charge of the 19th Army. The commander is Lieutenant General Sundstein,

There were only 7 people in attendance. It is already impossible to leak secrets in such a small area, and Li Mo intends not to hide anything, but to directly tell them where Britain and the United States will land.

The meeting officially opened at 2 p.m. on May 19, 1941, with Prime Minister Li Mo speaking:

"Generals, because the situation is urgent, the great Führer has judged that the Anglo-American coalition is about to land in France, so that the Soviet Union can attack us on both sides, so I have received the entrustment of the Führer and come to work with the generals and cooperate happily."

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang ......"

There was applause below, in front of these generals, how young Li Mo is, this is not the time to rank according to seniority, but the capable person stepped forward, Li Mo believed that he was fully qualified for the position of commander-in-chief of the West and East, and the sinister situation on the Eastern Front did not stump Li Mo, not to mention the situation on the Western Front, which was much better.

"Warmly welcome Marshal Li Mo to our Western Front to command the battle."

"Yes! Marshal Li Mo's invincible record makes us look forward to it! "

"Yes, yes, under the command of Marshal Li Mo, we will definitely beat the British and American forces into a mess and flee."

Li Mo didn't come to accept worship and praise, so he hurriedly raised his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then Li Mo came to the huge map behind him and said:

"Generals, let's come to the map and discuss!"

These generals and marshals knew that Li Mo was not so easy to fool, so they hurriedly got up and came to the front of the map, and Li Mo began to talk eloquently:

"I think you all know our deployment on the Western Front, I won't repeat it, we only have 59 divisions, and we have to defend more than 1,000 kilometers of coastline, while our coastal defense division only has 33, and the average defense width of a division is at least 40 kilometers or more, and our anti-landing defense force is so weak.

With such defensive intensity, it is almost impossible to block the landing operation of the British and American coalition forces, because the British and Americans have gathered 2.88 million troops, and the army has a total of 36 divisions, including 23 infantry divisions and 10 divisions. [,！ Armored divisions, 3 airborne divisions, about 1.53 million people. The Navy has about 5,300 warships in operation, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, 134 destroyers, about 1,200 destroyers, 4,126 landing ships, and more than 5,000 transport ships. The Air Force has 13,700 combat aircraft, including 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters, and 3,000 transport aircraft and gliders."

"Ahh …… This...... This ......"

Even if these generals and marshals have been on the battlefield for a long time, such a huge force still frightened them, which is almost dozens of times the gap compared with the German army on the Western Front! It is difficult to win such a battle.

Li Mo looked relaxed and continued:

"In response to this situation, the Führer has transferred to us on the Western Front a million elite troops fighting in the Soviet Union, and at the same time authorized me to command any troops on the Western Front, including the German troops in Norway, Greece, Italy, etc., 13 divisions in Norway and Sweden in Northern Europe, 21 divisions in Italy, 25 divisions in Yugoslavia, 12 divisions in Greece, and 4 divisions in Hungary, for a total strength of 1.15 million troops, and they will soon be transferred to the Maginot Line in France.
