Akado stood up, walked to Marshal Brauchitsch, put his hand on the Marshal's shoulder, and smiled at him. He turned his head, glanced at his generals, and then said slowly: "You all did a good job, and I am very satisfied with your preparations."

This sentence made all the generals here breathe a sigh of relief. After all, it is very difficult to be foolproof in front of a powerful Yuan who is proficient in war. Yuan's current praise is an affirmation of the hard work of these soldiers.

But on the other hand, Akado himself knew his weight. He was not dazzled by victory and dictatorship. On the contrary, he maintained the caution and vigilance of a small person in some small details. He kept reminding himself to avoid another time and space where Hitler dictated the military. He allowed himself to respect the decisions of the generals as much as possible, and only put forward his opinions when he was very dissatisfied.

Akado's grasp of the details of the army is obviously not as good as those German generals with professional background. When to resupply, when to rest, what kind of troops can fight, what kind of troops should be reorganized, what kind of shells does the 11th Infantry Corps need, how many barrels of gasoline does the 2nd Armored Division need, and which troops advance where and how much they lose Soldiers... He didn't need to know these things, so Akado asked Marshal Brauchitsch all these questions.

His efforts have obviously paid off. The tense relationship between the Supreme Command and the generals in World War II has not appeared for the time being, and the famous assassination that changed the attitude of both parties has also disappeared. Now the Wehrmacht is obedient to Yuan Ma's words, and the entire German military machine turns quickly and efficiently.

"The next step is to fight for real strength." Akado pointed to the map near Sedan, and said helplessly: "There is no room for opportunism, real swords and guns, and the time to test the combat capabilities of our troops has come. They are faster than the French, fiercer than them, stronger than them."

"Long live Yuan! We will prove it to you! The German Army is invincible!" Brauchitsch raised his head at attention and raised his chin.

"Our army has a high fighting spirit. Although many of the newly formed troops are still using old-fashioned equipment, such as the sealed Mauser 98k rifles, only half of them are equipped with semi-automatic G43 and new MP-44 assault rifles, but looking at the world , we are still well equipped." Chief of Staff General Bork said firmly.

He has every reason to say this, because so far, the German Army has been equipped with the largest number of cars, armored vehicles, and tanks in Europe and the world, and nearly half of the troops use G42 machine guns, G43 rifles, MP-44 assault rifles, etc. automatic weapon. If you count mortars, howitzers, rocket launchers and other equipment, plus the understanding of the use of sniper teams, this force can be said to be an armed force that is closest to the standard of mechanized troops in later generations.

in addition,

Among the infantry, Germany has divided elite special forces such as mountain troops and airborne infantry. Most of the soldiers in these troops have special skills and can fight independently or even independently.

Of course, compared with the whole world, the most advanced part of the German armed forces comes from Sickert Accardo's "Pluto Project". This plan allowed the German Wehrmacht to retain nearly 500,000 qualified non-commissioned officers. The current army has expanded tenfold, and these personnel still become the backbone of the entire German army with elites and leaders.

Looking back at the French Army, they have long lost the fighting spirit of World War I. These troops are not sufficiently prepared for combat, and even their British counterparts can't stand it anymore. In a report written by a British military officer to the country, the French soldiers were described as follows: "The soldiers were not shaved, the horses were of poor quality, and they were not ready for war at all. The soldiers were disheveled, the vehicles were scarce and dirty, It can be seen that they lack confidence in themselves, in the entire army, and even in the entire war situation."

France's high-level planning was also completely messed up. They only prepared 150,000 defensive troops in the Sedan area where the Germans focused on attacking, but they had to face Rommel and Guderian's 4 armored divisions with 1,200 tanks .

They were spread out over a 95-mile radius, criss-crossing the German forces advancing on Sedan. And to their southeast, on the Maginot Line, 40 French divisions were pinned to death by the bluffing German Army Group C, unable to move at all.

Moreover, in terms of the comparison of the main battle weapons and equipment between the two countries, French fighters are far inferior to German fw-190d fighters; while French b1 tanks and Mas35 tanks are not opponents of German Leopard tanks at all. , they can't even suppress the German tanks that have fallen behind.

"This operation will be completed by Rommel's 7th Panzer Corps, breaking through the French defense here and here. At the village of Hawkes, General Rommel's troops will cross the river in full, defeat the French army, and then advance to Britain and France The rear of the coalition forces, cut off the enemy's supply line." Brauchitsch pointed to the map and said.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Akado, and found that his own Yuan was staring at the map with his chin and didn't speak. He continued to introduce the entire battle plan with interest: "Then General Guderian's 1st Armored Army will strengthen this line of defense. To prevent the counterattack of the French and British troops."

"What about the specific plan for crossing the river? I can't expect 1,000 tanks to swim across the river." Akado asked suddenly.

"We concentrated 4 engineer battalions and erected pontoon bridges here and here at the same time. The air force will cover these troops. We overwhelm the French in the number of aircraft and artillery, and the French defense forces on the other side can only be forced to retreat." A person in charge The colonel who communicated with the front line stood up and replied.

"Tell Catherine that I need his air force to ensure the absolute safety of these bridges." Akado thought for a while and said, "Also, order General Rundstedt to deploy air defense nets near these bridges. The absolute security of the logistical support of the armored forces."

"My Yuan! This is no problem for the Air Force." An Air Force liaison officer stood up and answered Akado's order: "If necessary, we will mobilize 100 fighter jets to ensure local absolute air supremacy."

He couldn't help being less confident. A month ago, Germany's new fw-190d liquid-cooled fighter jet production line was fully completed. The production speed of the German fw-190 fighter jets has been fully increased. As of the day of January 5th, a full 150 brand-new fighter jets were shipped from the rear and equipped with the air force, which immediately increased the number of Catherine's troops.

The strengthened Luftwaffe found the weakness of the British dreadnought fighters in several air battles. The Luftwaffe broke through the short-lived "dreadnought phobia" of only a few days and shot down the British dreadnoughts on January 6th. With 47 various aircraft of the French Air Force, they dominated the skies of northern France.

Akado nodded, and then looked at the battle map again. Suddenly he said to Anna who was standing aside: "Write it down, and send a telegram to Rommel in my name later, telling him that I am waiting for news of his victory."

"Obey, Yuan." Anna maintained her proper attitude in front of the officers, and did not cause trouble for Akado. This is why Akado admired this beautiful girl. She could tell when she was enchanting and when she was cautious.

After this explanation, Akado asked about the logistics and supply situation of the entire army, borrowing the wind from the "Pluto Project" plan "White Dove Project", the traffic situation in Germany is the best in the world. The expressway connects every important city, and countless highways criss-cross like capillaries. Of course, the railway system with huge transport capacity is punctual and powerful operated by Acado's Deutsche Bahn Group.

So so far, the troops on the entire western front have sufficient supplies, and countless shells and food have been sent to each army through efficient distribution. Although the food quality is still poor and some supplies are still in short supply, it is already thousands of times stronger than the chaotic French logistics on the opposite side.

After Yuan finished asking questions about logistics and supplies, he took his secretary Anna and left the conference room, leaving behind a group of military leaders to discuss the next specific actions with each other in whispers. Bock hoped that Brauchitsch could change the combat plan and let the German armored forces slow down slightly, waiting for the infantry behind to catch up and act together, while Brauchitsch was more inclined to let Guderi Ann and Rommel advanced at full speed, playing the perfect effect of blitzkrieg.

And just a few hours after the German 3rd Armored Division built a bridge to cross the river in Sedan, the belated French commanders finally paid attention to the German attack from near the Ardennes Forest. To be precise, the original German army advanced in all directions, so that Britain and France had to defend in an all-round way, so Gan Molin really had no way of judging the main direction of the German army's attack.

But not long ago, the British and French allied forces prevented the rapid German assault in Belgium and stabilized the war situation. When the fighting in all areas has become a static line of defense, it is inevitable that someone will notice the only German unit that is still moving. So Gan Molin also decided to send some forces to deal with the still advancing German army in Setang.

It can be said that the current situation on the German Western Front is very good, and what everyone is waiting for is just a victory news from the front line. But this battle must be fought by someone, and this seamless plan must be implemented by someone—to turn the combat content that is still on paper into reality.

Ever since, almost at the same time, the commander of the British and French coalition forces Gan Molin and the commander of the German army Brauchitsch set up a station and dispatched their own proud men. The German army selected Guderian and Rommel, the godfathers of armor with the reputation of the empire's double jade, and the French found their trump card in the vast crowd, the most experienced commander of the French armored forces, Charles de Gaulle.
