Plymouth is a British naval base and port city.

It is located in the center of Plymouth Bay in southwest England, between Plymouth River and Tema River, and near the English Channel. As early as 1690, a naval shipyard was built here. At the same time, Devon port in the south is an important port of the British navy.

How can such an important military port be used for landing? Even if it's to find a beach to land, it's better than here!

However, everyone had a kind of worship for Shrek. No matter what strange ideas Shrek put forward, they would implement them without hesitation.

Like now.

After the initial surprise passed, field marshal ketel, as the host, began to analyze. Since he was promoted to field marshal, he worked harder.

"It's not easy to land at Plymouth military port. There are at least 30000 British troops stationed here. According to our prior calculation, the defenders have an advantage in landing operations. We need at least a ratio of 10 to 1 to win."

When they landed in Brest, France, the German Navy showed great strength. However, it was just a surprise. The other party was unprepared and wanted to land in the British military port, which was different.

"Judging from our current capability, we can send up to one Marine Division at a time." "Even with airborne troops, the number of troops that can be delivered at one time will not exceed 30000. This is a one-to-one ratio. In landing operations, this is definitely a dangerous ratio," ketter said

Although the shipyard is at full power, it is impossible to build the ship at once. Even if it is to integrate the French shipbuilding enterprises, it will take time. Now, it is this embarrassing time.

The delivery capacity is simply insufficient. If ordinary merchant ships are included, there are many. However, for the first shock wave, it must be a special landing ship.

Not enough, not enough at all.

"If we can't accumulate more power, why don't we want to weaken the British?" "We made a fake move to make the British think we were going to land in Dover, so what should the British do?"

Unlike in history, the British Expeditionary Forces have surrendered to Germany! Before Britain was able to pay the ransom, these prisoners of war were sent to Speer. The mines controlled by Germany lacked sufficient labor.

Therefore, the current military strength in Britain is very poor. Although they claim to have millions of troops, the real team is still about 200000 troops stationed at home, and the rest are just Boy Scouts recruited.

Therefore, if it can be determined that the landing place of Germany is Dover, in order to strengthen the defense there, the British have to dispatch from other places, such as Plymouth, there is no need to maintain the scale of 30000 people, and 10000 people are enough.

Hilrick gradually opened up his mind for them. In this way, we can consider all of a sudden and put on a fierce posture to deceive the British. The mobility of the British army is very poor. In this way, when our side attacks in Plymouth, the other side can't mobilize at all!

It can be said that the important task of the first batch of landing troops is to stick to their positions until the arrival of the second batch of troops. If we directly occupy the port, it will be more convenient to load and unload goods, and the attack will be more rapid and effective.

Another advantage of choosing Plymouth is, of course, that you don't have to worry about those mines!

As an important British port, there will be no mines near Plymouth. After all, the British can't seal themselves up.

With Chirac's proposal, the scene became active again, and everyone spoke enthusiastically, including army officers.

"I think we should deploy a large number of suspected soldiers in Calais and other places, or even dispatch them once or twice to stimulate the British and make the news that we intend to land in Dover more reliable." Said Manstein.

Cross service! What did the army say about the Navy! At this, Randall frowned.

Navy, not enough! Considering the Atlantic Ocean and the landing, how much power can the navy have? If we deploy more suspected soldiers in the front line of Calais, we simply don't have so much power on hand.

"This time, when we landed in Britain, we were also helping the French revenge." Chirac said magnanimously: "this time we cross the sea and land, France can't be idle. Well, I suggest that we should organize a French volunteer division to fight across the strait with us."

Foreign support soldiers! Herek has thought about this plan for a long time.

With the continuous progress of war and the continuous expansion of territory, Germany will certainly face the problem of soldiers. How to solve this problem? Of course, I'm looking for foreign volunteers!

The spineless French surrendered and the French army was disbanded. At this time, those soldiers who are used to rifles must be willing to return to the army. Give them this chance!

Form a French army and fight to Britain! Just think about it, you can know how pleasant it is!

Impossible? Of course not! Now that the British navy has opened fire on the French navy, the two sides are no longer friends, but enemies!

In Dunkirk, the British betrayed their French allies, and in North Africa, Britain opened fire on France. This is a deep blood feud!

When I heard the French volunteer, everyone showed a knowing smile. Yes, it's really a way! Moreover, in this way, the news about our landing in Dover will be easier to spread to the British!

Therefore, the general policy was decided, and the detailed plan was naturally completed by his subordinates.

The landing site is only one aspect. How the various arms cooperate and how to quickly seize air control once the battle starts are very important. Germany already has rich experience. Of course, Chirac does not need to do everything himself.

Hilrick also took advantage of these days to check how the integration of French industry is going.

France is the fifth largest industrial country in the world. Moreover, due to the rapid progress of the French war, French industry has hardly suffered any losses. Now, the industrial areas in the north have been directly occupied by Germany. Accordingly, these industries have been completely accepted by Germany.

Germany's violent soldiers began from then on! The full mechanization of the main force, dumplings under various warships and aircraft to expand production are inseparable from French industry!

As Germany's Quartermaster minister in charge of production, Speer has been in France all this time.
