Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Rumanlin, Qin Chuan soon became Rommel and Longdstedt in the command of the underground fortifications.

At this time, Rommel and Ronderstedt's relationship looked much better.

This aspect is a fact that Rommel's previous speculation and strategy were correct, so the nobleman Longdestedt dared to underestimate Rommel, a grassroots marshal.

On the other hand, there is a saying that "brothers play on the wall and guard the outside". Before the Allies came, they "frolicked on the wall". Now that the Allies have reached the gates of the German country, they should "froze on the outside". Of course, they should "fight on the outside".

Of course, this also includes some favors that Rommel preserved Ronderstedt's face... There is no need to say who wins and who loses the bet between Rommel and Ronderstedt about whether the Allies will land in Normandy.

But Rommel claimed to the public that the bet was a scam he and Longdstedt designed from the beginning, with the purpose of making the Allies fooled.

You should know that Longdestedt is the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, and he has always regarded himself as the winner and occupier of France. If people know that he has made a major misjudgment in the landing of the Allied forces, his reputation for life will no longer exist.

So, this favor is quite good, so naturally Longdestedt will not make any awkward things with Rommel.

"Oh!" When Longdstedt saw Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein come in, he said, "Look, our hero is here!"

Rommel waved to the two with a proud smile and asked politely: "Is the journey still going well?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" Qin Chuan and Colonel Slein replied.

"Look!" Rommel's next sentence immediately came to the point. He raised his head to the map on the table and said, "Everything went according to the plan, and the retreat went very smoothly!"

"The only thing that surprised us!" said Longdstedt, "is that the enemy is much slower than we thought!"

"Is it because of liquidation and arrest?" Colonel Slain asked, and he had also heard some related news.

"No!" Rommel shook his head and replied: "Liquidation and arrest are the affairs of the French, and the British and American troops are just their backing!"

“That’s…”

"On the one hand, it's because we retreat step by step!" Longdstedt answered: "You know, blowing up bridges and blowing up roads will delay their actions. On the other hand, it's because they plan to enjoy something in France!"

Colonel Slain couldn't help but say "Oh" and nodded explicitly.

Colonel Slain, like Qin Chuan, has fought with Americans in Africa, so he knows the problems of Americans' lifestyle.

Moreover, it was in Africa before, and now the US military is still in France, with beautiful women everywhere, especially they helped France liberate their country, so it is natural to enjoy something in France.

This is true. In fact, American soldiers are not just Paris in Paris. Any place they occupy or pass by is entering and leaving the house like their own homes, and they ask the people and their families to sleep with them at will.

If this happens a lot, several French men will inevitably resist, so there will be vicious incidents of American soldiers shooting French people at close range.

Of course, these incidents will be reported to the top leaders of the US military, but the top leaders of the US military are unwilling to punish soldiers to slash morale or have a worse impact... You should know that this is the battlefield, and soldiers always face the threat of death. Sending those US soldiers to military courts is a matter of fear that more soldiers will intentionally commit such crimes and return to China.

Therefore, the top U.S. military officials turned a blind eye to this, at most they would scold and then shut up for a period of time.

This directly caused the French people to be dissatisfied with the Charles de Gaulle government... because the Charles de Gaulle government was just a verbal protest and could not do anything else. This made the French people feel that the Charles de Gaulle government was just a puppet.

Obviously, this is very beneficial to the French regiment stationed in southern France.

Moreover, as long as Germany can defend the "Magino Line of Defense", as the war grows longer and longer, the pressure on the US military will become greater and greater, and such vicious incidents will only increase, which will eventually make the French people unbearable and crush their already asymmetrical ally relationship.

"We are guessing where the Allies will attack next!" Rommel said: "Whether to attack southern France, or to attack the 'Magino Line', or to attack the Arden Mountains!"

"I think they might attack southern France!" Qin Chuan said: "But that's just a small-scale war and most of it is undertaken by French troops!"

Rommel agreed with this: "Because it is the French that liberates the entire territory of France, and the British and Americans are the Germans!"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "What's more, as long as you attack Germany, you will encircle southern France and even the Alps, and then they can win without a fight!"

"So, will they attack the 'Magino Line'?" Lieutenant General Rumanlin asked, with a little excitement on his face: "I have long wanted to see how they were defeated in front of the 'Magino' defense!"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "They may attack 'Magino', but I think it's just a small-scale temptation!"

"It's right!" Marshal Longdestedt said: "I think they have long since received the information that the 'Magino' has been re-activated!"

This is not surprising at all. Lieutenant General Rumanlin used many Frenchmen when he restored the "Magino" defense line, and there must be British spies among these Frenchmen.

"So, does this mean that we have been wasting our efforts!" Lieutenant General Rumanlin was a little disappointed.

"No, General!" Longdstedt replied: "We build it, just don't want them to pass there!"

"Then there is only one last possibility left!" Rommel said: "Belgium goes to the Netherlands and attack our Ruhr industrial zone!"

"But the Arden Mountains are not suitable for them to pass!" Longdstedt said: "The same is true in the Netherlands!"

Needless to say, the Arden Mountains is known as the lowest altitude area in the world. More than half of the land is lower than sea level. Any pit dug here is filled with water, and tanks can only line up along the road in long lines.

It can be imagined that in such an area, as long as the German army guards an intersection or a bridge, it can block the pace of the Allies' advance.

"So!" Qin Chuan said: "If it were us, how would we fight this battle?"
