Chapter 822 Rush to Maginot

World War II broke out, and the world was in a panic.

Every day, countless people set foot on the land of America from the port. This is the last piece of pure land of civilization they saw.

Among these people are a large number of scientists, educators, artists, workers and front-line scientific research staff, bringing new changes to the development and growth of the United States.

Standing on the roof of the penthouse, looking at the ants-like mortal beings under his feet, Li Zitao turned his eyes to the east.

Regarding the report of the last meeting, Hans has already submitted it to Washington, but whether it will play a role is still unknown.

Roosevelt tried several times to mediate among Britain, France, and Germany to restore peace in Europe, but all of them ended in failure.

Even Li Zitao himself has no hope of what effect a meeting report from an entrepreneur can play.

The trend of history is still very similar to the previous life, except for the incidents that happened on the African continent, and Morocco is naturally indispensable.

Holding the right to issue currency is tantamount to controlling the country's economic lifeline. The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and Li's Holdings began to invest heavily in Morocco.

Someone found in the local area that many women would refine a plant called argan oil and use it to smear the face, body and hair.

Experiments have shown that this vegetable oil has high value, and it is a very good raw material whether it is used for food or skin care products.

What about cactus and rose water? Anyway, in Li Zitao's memory, as long as they can be named, they can eventually become women's skin care products.

In addition to investing in the cosmetics industry, the blue and white chamber of commerce is mainly involved in the export of agricultural products and aquatic salvage.

The most profitable ones are not these industries, but the gambling industry that is also legalized in Morocco.

In fact, the most profitable industry in Morocco at the stage of realization is the cannabis cultivation industry centered on 'Chefchaouen'.

This is one of the three most famous blue cities in the world. Santorini, which Li Zitao has been to, has white houses and blue roofs, giving people a holy and beautiful feeling.

And here are blue houses with white roofs, the whole city is like this, and it also makes people who have been here linger and forget to leave.

In Morocco, from the king to the common people, no one will do anything to threaten this industry.

Because 30% of Morocco's economy is driven entirely by kif.

As a local grower said: "Everything I have comes from kif. If there is no kif, I don't know how to live."

Kif is the local name for marijuana. People living in Chefchaouen will add kif to cigarettes, because it is as normal for them as eating and drinking.

So, if you are going to this North African country, please remember to bring enough cigarettes.

Here, even pretentious anti-drug operations will not be staged, although kif has been defined as a "drug" by Western countries and ordered to be banned.

But in North Africa, in Morocco, it's like a little spice in life.

If a tourist comes here, he will definitely feel inexplicably excited. At first he will think it is because of the new discovery of the journey.

After a few hours, the head is inexplicably dizzy, but the person is still excited, and he will clearly realize that this is the result of smoking too much second-hand kif.

Regarding the issue of kif planting and production in Morocco, Li Zitao did not kill it with a single blow, but asked people to supervise and record it from planting to transportation.

The interests here involve the economy of a whole country.

If he just wants to be a good person and destroy the kif industry directly, Li Zitao is sure that the Sultan who has just regained his 'freedom' will immediately fall into the embrace of Spain again.

Even if he had to be involved in the war because of this, he would not hesitate to become a victim of Franco's ambition to realize his power.

1940, May 10.

During the four months when the "yellow plan" was lost, the German army launched an attack on the entire territory of France with 3.35 million people and more than 2,000 tanks.

At this time on the front line,

The British and French allied forces deployed 3.3 million people, with a surplus of 3,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and 1,500 outdated FT-17 tanks were also sent to the front line.

Before the war, the number of tanks on the front line of the British and French coalition forces had reached an astonishing surplus of 5,800, which can be said to be the most powerful armored force in the world at that time.

At the same time, the tank armor thickness and firepower of the British and French allied forces have a considerable advantage, which is much stronger than the German tanks.

At this time, France was called "the world's most powerful country in the army," and it really didn't come out of its mouth.

As for the navy, regardless of submarines, the British can easily pull out a fleet to beat the German navy to the ground.

The air force is also dominated by the British and French allied forces. They have more than 2,000 planes on the front line, 1,000 planes in the UK for support, and hundreds of planes in the rear of France waiting for orders to take off at any time.

But judging from the data on paper, the British and French coalition forces were definitely the strongest military force in the world at that time, much stronger than De Guo.

It is no wonder that Britain and France will think that how the Germans really choose to go to war is tantamount to asking for trouble.

But subsequent signs have increasingly shown that the Germans really want to go to war.

And now, the war has really come.

The British and French allied forces found that the German troops were divided into two groups, and all the way, as stated in the "Yellow Plan", launched an attack on France through the Netherlands and Belgium.

In this direction, the most elite troops of the British and French allied forces are deployed.

The other line rushed towards the 'impenetrable' Maginot Line, which seemed to be a completely suicidal military operation.

No one could break through the Maginot Line, which even the generals of the little dwarfs affirmed. This line of defense, which has almost exhausted the French military resources, is too strong.

Otherwise, the original "Yellow Plan" would not have placed the offensive points in the Netherlands and Belgium, deliberately bypassing the Maginot Line.

And the reminder from the United States, the so-called "gap" Arden Forest, no news came.

While this made the British and French allied forces breathe a sigh of relief, they also believed that the Americans were making a fuss and making irresponsible inferences about future wars based entirely on guesswork.

How can the impenetrable Ardennes forest be used to pass through tanks? Is it necessary to give them all wings?

But in the Ardennes forest, which no one expected, the most elite German army, Group A, is heading to France under the leadership of General Guderian, the founder of the Blitzkrieg.

There are many difficulties encountered in order for the Panzer Corps to pass through the forest smoothly.

In order to formulate a reliable route, Guderian sent cavalry to explore the road ahead, looking for a flat road with the largest gap and the least obstruction.

At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy and concealment of the direction. Although the British and French allied forces are attracted by friendly forces, it is difficult to focus on this natural barrier. Guderian still thinks it is better to be careful.
