Colonel Slain certainly would not have any problems. He spread his hands and echoed Rommel: "Of course we have to deploy the armored forces on the front line. The marshals and generals in Paris only know how to eat, drink, play and have fun. Many of them have not even entered the tank cabin!"

Colonel Slein was alluding to Ronderstedt... Because Ronderstedt lives in a luxurious villa in Paris, and at a fixed time every day, he and his men seemed to have forgotten the war in full swing.

Another strange thing is that as an expert in armored soldiers, Longdestedt can even be said to be one of the founders of "Blitzkrieg", but he never got on a tank in his life because as a nobleman, he couldn't stand the dirty, greasy and noise.

Therefore, this is not only a strategic difference between the two German marshals, but also a difference between aristocratic officers and officers like Rommel, who are from grassroots classes.

Although Colonel Slain said this well, Rommel obviously did not need such advice, so he turned his attention to Qin Chuan, raised his coffee cup, and asked, "What do you think, Lieutenant Colonel?"

Qin Chuan is very familiar with Rommel and also respects Rommel very much. He feels that any roundaboutness or whitewashing is an insult to Rommel, so he said straightforwardly: "I am sorry, Marshal, these two defensive strategies...that is, your coastal defense and Marshal Longdestedt's in-depth defense, I don't agree with it!"

"Oh?" Rommel raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and then smiled: "It's much better than I thought, Lieutenant Colonel! I just saw you not saying a word, I thought you were standing with that guy Longdstedt!"

"Do you know?" Rommel continued: "If you think the same way he wants, I'll kill you!"

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein couldn't help but laugh, and Rommel never lost his humor when discussing the issue.

"Tell me what you think!" After laughing for a while, Rommel said seriously: "That is why you are not optimistic about these two defensive strategies!"

"Before this, can I ask a question?" Qin Chuan said.

"certainly!"

"I want to know the comparison of the navy and air force between the enemy and us!"

Rommel winked at the staff officer, who immediately went to the documents on the desk not far away to search for a while, then took out one of them and sent it to Qin Chuan.

While Qin Chuan was looking through, Rommel said: "I really can't tell you the answer, because the gap between them is so big that it doesn't make any sense if I see it... Or, when I see it, I doubt whether I can win this battle!"

Things are indeed as Rommel said.

In the air force, German intelligence showed that the Allied forces may have 10,000 aircraft (actually 13,000), while the German troops only had only 400.

"Why do we have only 400 planes?" Qin Chuan almost exclaimed: "Even if we face the Soviets on the Eastern Front, there are not so few people!"

Although Qin Chuan was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect there would be such a big gap.

"This is still mobilized from all over the place!" Rommel replied helplessly: "The Eastern Front needs planes, and the Germans also need planes, and the so-called Imperial Marshal... was actually organizing the Air Force to bomb the British mainland at this time!"

"Bombing the British mainland?" Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein looked at Rommel at the same time.

"Yes!" Rommel replied: "We originally had a thousand bombers, but... Marshal Gorene believed that we should resume bombings against Britain to blow up Allied planes in the airport, and even push the front line to Britain or limit it to sea. So he sent these bombers to Britain in several batches under the cover of fighters. A total of 29 air strikes were carried out in total, and 14 air strikes were carried out on London alone, with an average of 200 each. But the result was not to be thought about... In the end, there were only 181 bombers and fighters left, of which only 107 were still able to participate in the war!"

Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein were stunned when they heard this. They did not expect that Goring, the Air Marshal, would be so stupid, and they did not expect that Hitler would allow Goring to do so.

“They call it ‘Air Blitz’,” Rommel said. “But we all call it ‘Baby Blitz’!”

Qin Chuan understood the term "flash war" a little. Hitler and Goering actually did not dare to face reality, or it could be said that they lived in the dream of the German army fighting all over Europe with "flash war" a few years ago, even the Soviet Union caught them off guard. So he wishfully fantasized that as long as they were "surprising", they would definitely "win".

"But this doesn't seem to be much different!" Qin Chuan said: "One thousand five hundred or four hundred... In fact, it's all a result, handing over air supremacy!"

Rommel did not speak and agreed to Qin Chuan's statement.

After all, there are ten thousand enemies, and there are various high-performance aircraft, while these German aircraft are even used to make up the numbers.

Then Qin Chuan turned his attention to the Navy of Documents.

In fact, the navy does not need to compare. The German Navy only focuses on the development of submarines and ignores large surface ships. After several years of war consumption, at this time, except for the Toulon fleet located in the Mediterranean, there are very few large surface ships left, and they can only use submarines and small ships to resist landing.

"We have prepared 41 submarines!" Rommel said: "There are 50 torpedo boats of various types, and three pseudo cruisers are ready to cooperate with our landing operations to block the Allied forces!"

The so-called pseudo cruiser is a warship modified from a merchant ship. It can be disguised as a neutral merchant ship... The appearance is no different from a merchant ship, but the ship is equipped with a large caliber naval gun, and when it approaches the target, it suddenly launches an attack.

"But we obviously cannot pin our hopes on them!" Rommel said: "Because the British organized powerful interceptor and anti-submarine fleets, they may not even be able to enter the English Channel!"

"That is to say..." Qin Chuan closed the document: "We have no doubt that this battle has lost air and sea control from the beginning!"

"Yes!" Rommel nodded: "No doubt!"

"And the Allies also stored a large amount of ammunition!" Qin Chuan said: "These ammunition includes naval guns and aviation bombs!"

"Of course!" said Rommel: "The Americans even moved the factories to Britain, and from the bombing they are now stating that they cannot be short of ammunition!"
