"If the Germans use a large number of amphibious tanks to attack at night, we can't block the German main force on the beach with our existing strength." Archibald said to Churchill.

Britain is safe because it is across the English Channel. Therefore, in the first World War, Britain was not affected. Britain mainly sent troops to fight side by side with France.

But now it's different. Obviously, the goal of the Germans is to cross the Strait!

Because the German army is too strong, one of the most important bottom lines to protect Britain is that the Germans can't seize the beach and land, and can't get a good harbor. If the Germans occupy the beach position, they will continuously transport their army. It can be imagined that in that case, the Germans will occupy Britain, It's a certainty.

On the beach, it will be a drunken and tragic battle. If Britain can push the German soldiers who have landed into the sea before the arrival of the German landing troops in the next wave, Britain will win. If the Germans hold on and backup continues to come, the Germans will win.

"In other words, we must strengthen our garrison in Dover and other places." Churchill frowned.

Now that it has been determined that the Germans will land in Dover, the most important thing for our side is to strengthen Dover's defense. At that time, even if it is filled with life, it will push the Germans into the sea as in World War I!

However, unlike in history, those British Expeditionary Forces are now working in German mines. There are quite few British troops. Although they are constantly recruiting troops, not a civilian can become a soldier at any time. They must strengthen training, especially now, if civilians are allowed to go up with guns, That's not much different from dying.

The best way is to transfer from the existing troops!

Churchill looked at the map and said, "mobilize some of the garrison troops to Dover. At the same time, call up a reserve team to form a second line of defense between London and Dover. Once the Germans break through our beach position, we will continue to fight later."

Britain, an island country, seriously lacks strategic depth. If the Germans land from here, they can come to London in a few days!

At that time, we have to think about how to retreat backward.

Churchill has felt a lot of pressure, but he will never give in. Finally, it's a big deal, just sleep with Britain. In short, Churchill is determined.

The order of troop mobilization was issued soon. Almost before dawn, there were troops and they were ordered to move out.

For example.

Plymouth.

The high meter flag was flying in the open square. The garrison commander Sir nelty Ramsey stood under the flagpole, looked at the last truck, carried his soldiers and left the base here.

There are 30000 defenders in the whole port. Now, with a transfer order, 20000 defenders have to be transferred to Dover. Facing this transfer order, he has no indication.

It is the duty of a soldier to carry out orders, and now the British Empire has long been shaken.

The superior judged that the German's expected landing place was Dover, so the defenders here had to be transferred. Of course, it was a high-level secret. Only people at his level would know the inside story.

It is conceivable that a terrible war will break out in Dover, and what he sent away now may not live for a week. It is like the Verdun meat grinder in World War I, and many people will die.

I don't feel sad and angry. Maybe I will go on this road myself?

In the distance is the port. Once, when the Empire was at its strongest, the port was lined with masts and warships, but now there are less than ten warships in the port, not even a warship with a displacement of more than 5000 tons.

Precious warships, not bases on this side of the Strait, are all in the west of the British island.

The war is approaching day by day. The war officially broke out. It is estimated that it will not exceed a week!

The sun rises slowly. It seems that today is a good weather. In that case, enjoy the peace now!

……

Paris.

He dealt with the mentally ill Goering with a quick knife. Xierik returned to Paris again and dealt with it in person, which is enough to show xierik's importance to Goering. He personally sent Goering to the mental hospital, which is enough to show xierik's concern for Goering!

"In the French volunteer army, there were British spies." Reinhart reported to hiricht: "a spy swam across the channel and ran to report to the British. The British believed our plan to land in Dover. Now, 20000 troops are being transferred from all over Dover and from Plymouth."

These thirty-six tricks of the older generation can be used now. It's really good to use them! Hilrick thought in his heart that it would be easier for his side to attack Plymouth after successfully mobilizing the garrison of Plymouth.

"The head of state of Chirac, Krupp, has carefully studied the KV-1 tank. The detailed data show that the protective power of this tank is quite good. The 50mm tank gun we used last time just broke through." After Reinhart finished his report, field marshal Keitel reported to Shrek.

After the KV-1 tank was acquired from the battlefield, the technicians of Krupp company carefully studied the tank and found that their 50mm anti tank gun was just able to break through!

The Soviets have learned a lesson. In the next attack, they will certainly continue to thicken their tanks. Even if they are not processed in the factory in the rear, but only in the battlefield, it is easy to install track shoes in the front to increase the protective force. In this way, the anti tank guns in Finland will not be able to penetrate them!

This is dangerous. Once the Soviet tanks broke through the Finnish defense line and entered the rear, where the road network was everywhere, the Soviets were likely to copy the experience of German Blitzkrieg!

Such a situation must not happen!

So, what kind of equipment should Finland provide? In fact, the penetration depth of 50mm caliber can continue to be improved, that is, sub caliber armor piercing projectile! But this thing is absolutely confidential at present.

Do you want to provide Finland with 75mm anti tank guns? Of course not! This anti tank gun, now the German troops do not have a lot of equipment! Excellent and advanced weapons cannot be provided in this way.

So what should Finland offer?

Suddenly, what came to his mind: "have we provided 88mm anti-aircraft guns to Finland?"
