Before I knew it, it was September 20, 1941. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Rommel was ostensibly busy every day to ascend the throne and become emperor, but in fact he had secretly transferred his two hardcore brothers back to Berlin, and now that the Moscow front had stabilized, Zhukov's remnants of the defeated army also jumped out of something.

Germany still has half of Moscow left behind in order to create the illusion that the main force of the German army is attracted to the Soviet Union by the Soviet army.

It is also too late to mobilize troops on a large scale in France, but in this case, the United States is likely to abandon its strategic plan to land in France, and in order to annihilate the living forces of Britain and the United States, it is necessary to allow the Anglo-American coalition to land successfully.

If you want to achieve this tactic, you must not mobilize a large number of troops to the Atlantic defense line, so if the British and American forces want to land, they can land! Otherwise, Germany would have no chance of annihilating them.

It's just that Rommel has to properly adjust the strength of the coastal defense division, so that the landed Anglo-American coalition forces will pay a heavy price, and then annihilate them in the French Maginot Line, and then the Anglo-American coalition forces will not be able to run if they want to.

Germany at this time had 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.

On the Atlantic coast, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands have a total of 59 divisions, accounting for about 18 percent of their total strength, and of these 59 divisions, 23 are deployed in Calais, France, only 6 divisions and 3 regiments are deployed in Normandy, where the Allies are about to land, 16 divisions are deployed in the Netherlands and Belgium, and 14 divisions are deployed in other parts of the entire Atlantic defense line.

Of course, this is also the consequence of Germany's expansion everywhere, and it has to deploy troops everywhere, not because of Rommel's blind command, but in order to confuse the Anglo-American coalition forces and make them think that the landing place judged by Germany to be Calais.

The landing battle of the Anglo-American coalition is within the next half a month, and Rommel has no intention of reinforcing the 59 German divisions deployed on the Atlantic defense line, as long as these 59 German elite divisions are reasonably deployed, 760,000 troops are still enough for the Anglo-American coalition to drink.

After careful discussion between Rommel, Manstein, and others, it was decided that the 23 German divisions stationed in Calais would not move, so that the Anglo-American forces always believed that the landing point of the Anglo-American coalition forces judged by Germany was Calais.

Rommel only decided to quietly transfer four German divisions from the Netherlands and Belgium to reinforce Normandy, leaving Normandy with ten elite German divisions and three regiments, including two armored divisions.

Rommel also did not dare to deploy too many troops to Normandy, in case the Anglo-American coalition found out and changed the landing site, then Rommel did a little bit of everything.

……

Rommel held a strategic meeting in the basement of the Chancellery on September 23, 1941, according to Rommel'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.

Even the codebook of Rommel's contacts with the armies was based on the "original codebook" provided by Rommel. "The original code is indecipherable, and it changes every month, at least in the case of telecommunications, and Britain and the United States will not know as much about German military operations as they have historically.

The senior commanders in attendance were:

Marshal Manstein, Marshal Guderian, Marshal Moder, Marshal Gluck, Marshal Rundstedt, Marshal Paulus, Marshal Bock,

There were only seven people attending the meeting, and it was impossible to leak secrets on such a small scale, and Rommel planned not to hide anything, but to directly tell them where Britain and the United States would land.

Prime Minister Rommel's statement:

"Marshals, because of the urgency of the situation, I judge that the Anglo-American forces are about to land in France, because they think that this is the time when our main forces are mired in the quagmire of war in the Soviet Union, and it is also the best time for Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union to attack us from both sides.

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

Immediately applause rang out below, where is Rommel's record, they can't help but disagree, saying that since Rommel became the head of state, he has delegated a lot of all his strength, which has made their command a lot less restrictive, and the economy of the whole Europe is also fully revived under Rommel's governance, all of which are the merits of the Führer Rommel.

"Hey! Rommel. ”

"Führer Rommel's invincible record makes us look forward to it!"

"Yes, yes, under the command of Führer Rommel, we will definitely beat the Anglo-American coalition to the ground."

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

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

These generals and marshals knew that Rommel was not so easy to fool, so they quickly got up and came to the front of the map, and Rommel 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 136 divisions, including 123 infantry divisions, 10 armored divisions, and 3 airborne divisions, about 1.53 million people.

The Navy has about 5,300 warships in operation, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, and 134 destroyers.

The British and French forces also have more than 5,000 transport ships and 13,700 combat aircraft of the Air Force, including 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters and 3,000 transport aircraft ******. ”

"Ahh …… This...... This ......"

There were a few marshals who didn't know the situation, and when they heard that the British and American coalition forces had such a huge landing force, they were really shocked, and compared with the German army on the Western Front, it was almost dozens of times the difference! It is difficult to be sure of victory in such a battle.

Rommel, however, looked relaxed and continued:

"In response to this situation, I have secretly rotated two million elite troops from the Soviet Union, and these two million elite troops will soon quietly enter the designated ambush area, and the ambush site is here - the Ardennes Forest.

At the same time, 1.8 million German second-line troops entered the Maginot Line, and they were to assemble a strong Maginot Line to block the attack of the British and American forces.

In addition, we have 21 divisions in Italy, 13 divisions, and 25 divisions in Yugoslavia, and we can use more than half of these troops for sabotage tactics.

When the Anglo-American coalition attacked the Maginot Line, our more than 2 million elite troops in ambush in the Ardennes Forest immediately came out, first cutting off the enemy's rear route, and then encircling and annihilating them.

And our troops in southern Italy and Greece also fought at the same time, attacking and destroying all roads and bridges from Normandy to the Maginot Line, thus leaving the Anglo-American army in a dilemma.
