"Where else can they land?" General Strek said in confusion: "If it hadn't landed in Sicily and the Tunisian Strait was under our blockade, then they... would have only landed in Greece!"

The officers at the command were shocked and turned their eyes to Rommel.

Rommel thought about it and nodded slightly and said, "Landing in Greece is indeed an option. They occupied Crete, which is a good base for advancement. In addition, they also have the Greek King George II, who can use George II to call the Greeks to rise and support them in the liberation of Greece!"

"More importantly, the Greeks hated the Italians!" Colonel Slein agreed: "And most of the occupied Greece were Italians, and the Greeks would eagerly hope that the king's troops would drive away the Italians, except for the guerrillas."

"How many troops do we have in Greece?" Rommel asked the staff around him.

"There are only three divisions, general!" the staff member replied.

The officers were stunned when they heard this, which almost meant that Greece was an unguarded country before the British army.

"Are the British worried about our oil?" Major General Streck said: "As I said before, the point is that we discovered oil. If the British landed in Greece, they would not be able to cut off our supply lines and of course they would not be able to stop us from developing oil fields, right?"

"They can!" Rommel pointed to the map and replied: "If they successfully occupy Greece, they can enter the Adriatic Sea with their sea and air superiority. Then they can use Greece as a sea and air base to land directly in Pescara, Italy, and then follow the road to take Rome, the capital of Italy..."

The officers couldn't help but nod. Pescara was only 210 kilometers away from Rome. It was such a short distance and the Italian army was defending, so they could reach the city of Rome in a few days.

In contrast, it is nearly a thousand kilometers to land from Sicily and then fight from southern Italy to the north. Moreover, the mountains and rivers are everywhere, and the terrain is complex and the terrain is not conducive to the combat of mechanized troops. It is conceivable that it will take longer to fight to Rome.

"Actually, there is no need to fight!" General Strek said with a serious expression: "As long as the Allies land in Pescara, the Italians may surrender. Once Italy surrenders, Sicily and Sardinia are mainly the key areas defended by the Italian army, and then our supply line..."

Needless to say, if the situation continues to develop according to this idea, the British would occupy two countries across the Mediterranean, namely Greece and Italy, and then trap the African legion tightly on the Mediterranean.

"More important!" Major General Foigert said: "Greece northward is Romania, that is... they may cut off another oil transportation line!"

"So..." Rommel nodded: "This is the real purpose of the British! I should report this idea to the Head of State..."

"No, General!" Qin Chuan stood up and said, "You shouldn't do this!"

"Why?" Rommel asked.

"Because if you do this, you will be fooled by the British!" Qin Chuan replied.

"What?" Rommel and the officers all looked at Qin Chuan in surprise.

"It's actually very simple!" Qin Chuan said: "The reason why British people expose their strategic goals so easily is that they hope you think so!"

"Captain!" said Major General Foigert, "You mean, all of us, including General Rommel, have all been fooled by the British?"

"Although I don't want to say that!" Qin Chuan looked at Rommel and said, "But I'm sorry, General, I think it's true!"

"It's okay, Captain!" Rommel replied: "You have embarrassed me more than once, and what makes me even more angry is that you are right every time!"

The generals couldn't help but laugh, only Major General Foigert's eyes showed a little jealousy that was not easy to detect.

Major General Foigert's words just now were obviously accusing of Rommel and Qin Chuan, but he didn't expect Rommel to face Qin Chuan's doubts with this attitude.

In fact, Major General Foigert knew too little about the matter between Qin Chuan and Rommel. If it were a few months ago, Major General Foigert might have been useful in this way, but after Qin Chuan's suggestions were proved to be correct, Rommel and even Colonel Slein and others formed an inertial trust in Qin Chuan.

"Then, Captain!" Rommel raised his hand at Qin Chuan and motioned him to the map: "Tell me why we were deceived by the British!"

"Yes, general!" Qin Chuan walked to the map and said, "It is not impossible to land from Greece, and landing in Greece can indeed capture Italy and even collapse Italy, but gentlemen... Three-quarters of Greece's areas are mountainous, and such terrain is also not suitable for mechanized troops to fight."

"Captain, you seem to have forgotten the many favorable conditions we just mentioned for the British landing in Greece!" Major General Foigert interrupted.

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "These favorable conditions do exist, such as they have kings, such as our weak forces in Greece, but gentlemen, you seem to have forgotten one thing, we can build tunnels on the mountains of Greece... For areas where three-quarters of the entire territory are mountainous, tunnel tactics will definitely be a nightmare for the British. The British have tried this on the Gabes defense line. Will they still jump into the quagmire of Greece?"

In fact, the British and American troops have never been able to adapt to combat in such complex terrain... Historically, they landed from Sicily, then landed from Sicily to Italy and pushed from the south to the north.

Montgomery recklessly thought that when the Italians surrendered, the Allied forces would liberate the entire Italy in a short time, so they named the operation the "Avalanche" plan, which means that this battle would liberate the entire Italy as quickly and unstoppable as a "Avalanche".

But the result surprised everyone... This battle lasted for a year and four months. With the Allied forces occupying absolute military strength and equipment, it took advantage of Italy for a year and four months.

It is conceivable that if the battlefield is replaced with Greece with more complex terrain and the German army also knows the tunnel defense tactics, it is obviously unknown how long it will take for the Allies to occupy Greece, and Greece may even become a quagmire for the Allies, just as deeply trapped in the US-Vietnam War.

"Then, Captain!" Rommel asked: "You think the British's goal is..."
