I recommend a friend’s book: The Third Reich of the East China Hero. By the way, I would like to ask for monthly votes. I’m still thirty votes away and I’m back to the top. Brothers, let’s have another one?

Hearing this, Rommel was stunned. After a while, Rommel said, "You mean..."

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you keep bombing with naval guns and continuously drop bombs with aircraft, it is only a matter of time before the coastal fortifications and obstacles are flattened, right?"

After pausing, Qin Chuan added: "Including armored troops!"

This is actually evidence. There was such a situation in the Battle of Sicily... The armored troops launched a counterattack on the landing US troops, but the tanks were quickly bombarded by the US military's ships and into parts.

If this is not profound enough for the German army, then there are examples on the Pacific battlefield... The Japanese army also wanted to eliminate the US army on the beach again and again, but most of these Japanese troops were eliminated without even seeing the US army at all, because the US army used naval guns and bombers to bomb the small islands stationed by the Japanese army for several days and nights as soon as it came up.

Of course, Rommel may not have paid attention to these battles, but Qin Chuan knew it clearly.

Qin Chuan even knew that the US military had gained experience in fighting the Japanese in the Pacific, and they even had accurate calculations on what angle and distance to achieve good killing and destruction.

What's more serious is...

"The Allies may have a clear understanding of the deployment of our Atlantic barriers!" Qin Chuan said.

Rommel nodded in agreement.

Rommel still knows the skills of the British MI5. After all, the UK is an old country of intelligence and has considerable power in the world at this time.

But in fact, this is the meme left by Longdested... A French painter named René Duchet accidentally stole the entire Atlantic barrier design drawing of the German army and handed it to the Allies.

Of course, Longdestedt knew about this. After all, there was a lack of design drawings and a worker ran away. As long as you have a little brain, you will know what happened.

But Longdstedt dared not make this public.

This approach is very smart. If Longdestedt reports it up, he will inevitably be punished for this matter. This took several years to invest countless resources in the 2,700-kilometer defense line and actually lost the complete design drawings?!

If Hitler knew about this, he would definitely not be good.

But if you don't say it... then you can make an excuse to say that the British MI5 has great supernatural powers and has obtained this information through his own power.

"Lt. Colonel!" said Rommel: "But we have no choice!"

"I know!" Qin Chuan replied: "If you use the deep defense strategy as Marshal Longdestedt said... of course, it will not work, because without air supremacy, these armored troops and infantry deployed in the rear cannot reach the coastal frontline at all, or if you arrive, you will be bombarded by the Allied air forces and lose their combat effectiveness!"

"Yes, that's what I want to say!" Rommel replied: "Don't we take the least of the two evils? Instead of letting the tanks be blown up before they even see the enemy on the road, it's better to deploy them on the coastal front!"

"So..." Qin Chuan spread his hands: "I don't agree with these two defense strategies!"

"You have a better way?" Rommel asked.

"Marson Marshal!" Qin Chuan replied: "In the final analysis, this question is that our army has lost air supremacy. Without air supremacy, any strategy or tactics are meaningless, unless..."

"What?"

"Like the Gabes defense line!" Qin Chuan replied: "Only mountains and complex mountains can eliminate the enemy's advantage in air supremacy as much as possible. In plain areas... the outcome has been decided from the beginning!"

In fact, another meaning of Qin Chuan's words is that the German army will not fight a war that loses air supremacy, so the defeat in Normandy was a crushing defeat.

Rommel couldn't help but say "Oh" and then turned his eyes to the map.

Then he raised his head in shock and looked at Qin Chuan: "This means we have to give up the entire northern France?!"

Qin Chuan didn't say anything.

Colonel Slein understood something when he heard this. He looked at Qin Chuan blankly and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel, I want to know... have you been prepared long ago?"

Qin Chuan knew what Colonel Slain was saying. Colonel Slain also participated in a series of arrangements of the Maginot Line of Defense, but he did not know Qin Chuan's true intention to run this line of defense before, and thought it was really like the order said... as the second line of defense against the Allied offensive.

"What are you ready?" Rommel looked confused. He obviously didn't know the deployment of the Maginot line.

This is normal, it is actually the result of Hitler's order... The officer does not need to know too much information that is not related to the mission.

Colonel Slain glanced at Qin Chuan and replied: "His Excellency Marshal, we received an order to serve as an advisor to the Maginot Line for a period of time. Lieutenant Colonel made a series of deployments in the Maginot Line and nearby!"

"Oh? What kind of deployment?" Rommel was surprised and happy when he heard this. He was worried that it would be too late to start thinking about Magino now.

Colonel Slain turned his attention to Qin Chuan, meaning that this is more suitable for Qin Chuan.

"Marson Marshal!" Qin Chuan continued: "To be precise, it was a deployment made with the help of Lieutenant General Rumanlin!"

"Rumanlin?" Rommel said: "Seffert von Rumanlin?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan thought about it before giving a positive answer, because he didn't remember Lieutenant General Rumanlin's full name very clearly.

"Will he actually help you?" Rommel looked surprised.

"Lieutenant Colonel saved his life!" said Colonel Slain.

"Even so, he won't help anyone!" Rommel said: "He is a bastard who only considers himself!"

It sounds like Rommel and Rumanlin have some holidays.

After pausing, Rommel said, "Forget it, tell me what you have done on the Maginot Line!"

"Actually, nothing was done!" Qin Chuan replied: "We just...reactivated the Maginot Line!"

"What, you mean... the Maginot line can be used normally now?" Rommel's eyes widened. Of course he knew that this was not an easy task.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "We made some transformations to it, just toward France rather than Germany as before."

Rommel looked at Qin Chuan in disbelief, and then looked at Colonel Slein.

Colonel Slain nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

"Then..." Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said: "We have also made some preparations in the defense of the Alps and the Ardennes area to connect them to the Maginot Line. Then some air defense systems are added..."
