Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth problem
Paul guessed right, and Treskov used a relationship as a colonel named Schmoring who served in the Supreme Command.
As the commander of the Supreme Command, Hitler directly commanded the front line troops through the Supreme Command through the German Army Command.
Therefore, Hitler often went in and out of the Supreme Command and stood in front of the sand table and used his "military genius" to decide on the frontline war with his staff.
On this day, after Hitler's almost crazy sand table deduction, Colonel Schmoring handed a document to Hitler as if he had remembered something.
"Dear Head!" said Schmoring: "You have signed a document before, the Maginot Line of Defense Renovation Plan, and I tracked it and found that the plan was in trouble..."
Hitler took the document, flipped through it casually, and asked, "What's the dilemma?"
"General Rumanlin is not keen on the transformation of the defense line!" Schmorlin replied: "They reported..."
Schmoring paused and continued: "General Rumanlin seemed to care more about dances and hunting, so the personnel and supplies were not effectively mobilized!"
What Schmoring said is true. Colonel Paul tried to persuade General Rumanlin to carry out the transformation plan, but General Rumanlin refused on the grounds that there was insufficient supply.
Hitler thought about it, closed the document and said, "Our focus now is on the Eastern Front. All manpower and material resources must be on the Eastern Front. Even if France is in danger, we should focus on building the Atlantic barrier. The Maginot Line is a backup plan. I believe that as long as we do enough equipment, the Americans and the British will never be able to fight there!"
As he said that, he handed the documents back to Schmoring.
Schmolin sighed inwardly, knowing that he had failed in this matter.
The news soon reached Colonel Paul, and Paul immediately found Qin Chuan.
"No surprise!" said Paul, "We were unable to convince the head of state!"
Qin Chuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He didn't expect that everything had been planned to reach this point, but he would be stuck and unable to move by a bastard who was greedy for pleasure.
Moreover, the renovation plan for the Maginot Line is only the first step, and the next step is to be done for the construction of Alpine fortifications and the deployment of fortifications in the Arden Mountains of Belgium.
Among them, fortifications in the Alps are not urgent. After all, as long as there are enough helicopters and mountain troops, fighting on the Alps will not be a problem... The US and British troops are both maritime power units. At this time, they do not have mountain troops, so they are basically impossible to attack in the direction of the Alps. If they do this, they will undoubtedly be defeated by the German troops familiar with the terrain and have helicopters.
(Note: The first mountain unit of the US military was trained by a light infantry division in 1943, and the first mountain unit of the British army began training in the autumn of 1942)
The Arden Mountains are not a big problem, because there are jungles, swamps, and highlands everywhere. Such terrain is most suitable for fighting and killing German troops rather than US troops... Especially the German troops were equipped with a large number of STG44 at this time.
You should know that in modern times, the US military equipped with M16 had no choice but to the Vietnamese army equipped with AK47 in the jungle of Vietnam. What's more, the US military would use M1 to semi-automatically to counter the German STG44 and bazooka in the jungle... These two can almost be said to be magical tools for jungle warfare.
What Qin Chuan is most worried about is the Maginot Line of Defense, although it has underground fortifications and most of the terrain is also not suitable for the attack of the US mechanized troops.
The reason is very simple. The Maginot Line was originally designed and built toward Germany, so its bunkers, castles, armored tower castles, etc. all occupy a favorable position towards Germany and open the perforation.
It is conceivable that if the German army was not prepared, the US military would occupy any bunker. The castle only needed to build a machine gun to become a powerful fire point for them, and then rely on the cover of this fire point to attack around one by one, and soon occupied the entire defense line and quickly made it work.
At that time, the US military had a complete line of defense that could advance, attack, retreat and defend... It could not only ensure the security of France, but also become a forward base for the US and British Allied Forces to attack Germany.
On the contrary, if the German army completes its transformation and deploys its troops, it is actually not necessary to deploy troops, because the troops retreating from France will soon fill the Maginot Line.
Then, this line of defense that can be attacked and defended is in the hands of the German army, that is, the German army has the strategic initiative, and the US, British and French troops located in France will be in a state of ease because the German army can launch a counterattack from any point to carry out a "blitz war" against them as before.
But... all of this was stranded because of Lieutenant General Rumanlin.
"I'll try again!" said Colonel Paul, "I hope to convince General Rumanlin!"
"No!" Qin Chuan stopped Colonel Paul: "You are wasting your time, Colonel!"
"But what can we do!" said Colonel Paul. "We have tried all the methods we can try, and we even know that General Rumanlin delayed the plan because he was going to build another villa in Berlin!"
"What?" Qin Chuan raised his head and looked at Colonel Paul in shock.
"Yes!" Colonel Paul replied: "As I said before, General Rumanlin did not think that the Americans and the British could fight here, but he was not thinking about how to block them, but ensuring that there would be such an example after he returned to Germany!"
This is a way for Hitler to reward his confidants. He actually knew that they were crazy about devouring national property, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
For example, Goren owns a manor that can be said to be even the most luxurious private residence in the country, full of precious paintings and antiques. He is also keen on collecting treasures from various countries, and he is almost obsessed with it.
Rumanlin is like another Gorene, who has been neglected by Hitler in politics and military terms, but because of his "meritorship" that helped Hitler before, he can squander at will.
After thinking about it, Qin Chuan said to Paul: "Col. We have another way!"
"What's the solution?"
"I think..." Qin Chuan said: "In these days General Rumanlin enjoyed in France, it is impossible for the only people who hate him like us!"
"Of course!" Colonel Paul replied: "The French people hate him equally, because he always tries his best to squeeze more wealth from them, but what can they do?"
"Hmm!" Qin Chuan said: "What else?"
