The navy has 5 destroyers, 52 submarines, 16 ocean minesweepers, 116 patrol ships, 309 minesweepers, 34 torpedo boats, and 42 gunboats. There are only 561 small and medium warships in total, and their strength is very weak. {3w.

These warships are not very useful in the English Channel. The widest part of the English Channel is only 200 nautical miles and the narrowest part is only 80 nautical miles. Without the cover of the Air Force, these small warships will only be slags in front of the British and American joint fleet.

Since the war started, although Li Mo successfully attacked most of its main battleships in its local fleet, Britain has strong shipbuilding capabilities. Over the past year, Britain has built a total of seven aircraft carriers and modified more than 20 aircraft carriers with large 10,000-ton merchant ships. At the same time, Britain has also completed the remaining construction projects of five battleships, and countless destroyers have been countless.

It can be said that the British navy after Li Mo's sneak attack was almost resurrected in full blood. In order to attack Britain's maritime transportation lines, the German navy launched many attacks, but it turned out to be a war of attrition with Britain. Only six of the sixteen aircraft carriers transformed by Li Mo with merchant ships were left. Fortunately, the Zeppelin aircraft carrier was still there and there was no loss, but he could only hide in Hamburg Port and dare not attack.

Almost all of Germany's battleships went to the seabed. Some of these battleships were sunk by Britain, while others were sunk by Britain and the United States. The German Navy could only be tofu in front of the British and American joint fleet.

The German air force deployed on the Western Front was the 3rd Air Force, with about 450 combat aircraft, including 160 fighter aircraft. Compared with the number of Allied combat aircraft, it is at an absolute disadvantage of 1:30. In the Normandy area, the defenders are 6 divisions and 3 regiments under the 7th Army, including 3 coastal defense divisions, with weak combat power; 2 infantry divisions and 1 armored division, with slightly stronger combat power; 3 regiments are 2 independent infantry regiments and 1 paratrooper regiment, with a total force of about 90,000.

The fortifications were also relatively weak, and only a few independent support points for reinforced concrete were built. Most of the fortifications were field fortifications, and only a small number of anti-aircraft obstacles were set up in depth. At this time, the German armoured troops deployed in France had only one full armored division, namely the 21st Armored Division.

Historically, Hitler judged in April 1944 that Normandy would be the landing site of the Allied forces and asked for additional troops to be sent. Rommel, based on this instruction, transferred the 352nd Infantry Division, which was formerly stationed in San Lo, to Normandy. It was this newly transferred elite division that brought a catastrophe to the US military at the beach of "Omaha".

(Hitler still has good judgment in some aspects, but Germany's comprehensive national strength is really unable to compete with Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. Moreover, it is a situation where it is surrounded by enemies on all sides. How can it be defeated?)

At noon the next day, several commanders above the army rushed to the Western Front Command. Everyone had a brief rest and immediately held a strategic meeting. According to Li Mo's request, all participants were not allowed to carry watches, notebooks, pens, and contents of the meeting were prohibited from recording or circulating. At this time, British and American spies were already everywhere, and Li Mo had to be extra careful.

Even the password book that Li Mo contacted Hitler was based on the "original password book" provided by Li Mo to Hitler, which could not be deciphered and changed every month. At least in the field of telecommunications, Britain and the United States would not know much about Germany's military operations as in history.

The senior commanders attending the meeting were:

Marshal Gluke, commanded by the 15th Army, commanded by General Salmut, commanded by the 7th Army, commanded by General Dorman, commanded by General Braskoviz, commanded by the 1st Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Shevaleri, commanded by the 19th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Sondstein,

There were only 7 people attending the meeting, and it was impossible to leak the secrets at such a small range. Li Mo planned not to hide anything, but to tell them directly where the United Kingdom and the United States would log in.

The meeting officially began at 2 pm on May 19, 1941, with Prime Minister Li Mo making a speech:

"Dear generals, because the situation is urgent, the great head of state ruled that the British and American coalition forces were about to land in France, so that they could attack us on both sides with the Soviet Union. Therefore, I took the entrustment of the head of state and came to work with all the generals to have a happy cooperation."

"Baoba...baoba..."

Applause immediately sounded below. In front of these generals, Li Mo was so young. It was not the time to rank according to seniority, but the capable people stepped forward. Li Mo believed that he could be competent for the position of commander-in-chief of the West and East. Even the dangerous situation on the East Front did not stump Li Mo, let alone the Western Front, which was relatively better.

"Warm welcome to Marshal Li Mo to our western front to command the battle."

"Yes! Marshal Li Mo's invincible record makes us look forward to it!"

"Yes, yes, under the command of Marshal Li Mo, we will definitely defeat the British and American coalition forces and flee in a panic."

Li Mo was not here to accept worship and praise, so he quickly raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down. Then Li Mo came to the huge map behind him and said:

"Dear generals, let's come to the map to discuss!"

These generals and marshals now knew that Li Mo was not so easy to fool, so they quickly got up and came to the front of the map. Li Mo began to talk:

"I think you all know our deployment on the Western Front, so I won't repeat it. We only have 59 divisions, which have to defend against more than 1,000 kilometers of coastline, while our coastal defense divisions have only 33. The average defense width of a division is at least more than 40 kilometers. Our anti-landing defense force is so weak.

With such a defensive strength, it is almost impossible to block the landing operations of the British and American coalition forces, because Britain and the United States have gathered 288,000 troops, with a total of 36 divisions in the army, including 23 infantry divisions, 10 armored divisions, 3 airborne divisions, and about 1.53 million people. The navy has invested about 5,300 warships, including 13 battleships, 47 cruisers, and 134 destroyers. About 1,200 landing ships, 4,126 landing ships, and more than 5,000 transport ships. 13,700 air force combat aircraft, including 5,800 bombers, 4,900 fighters, and 3,000 transport gliders."

"Ahhhh!...this...this..."

Even though these generals and marshals were in battle for a long time, their huge military strength still scared them. Compared with the German army on the Western Front, it was almost dozens of times the gap! It is difficult to have the confidence to win such a battle.

Li Mo continued with a relaxed look on his face:

"In response to this situation, the Head of State has transferred one million elite troops to the Western Front to fight in the Soviet Union, and at the same time, I can command any troops on the Western Front, including the German troops in Norway, Greece, Italy and other regions. There are 13 divisions in Norway, Sweden in Norway, 21 divisions in Italy, 25 divisions in Yugoslavia, 12 divisions in Greece, and 4 divisions in Hungary. The total strength of these troops is 1.15 million. They will be quickly transferred to the French Maginot Line.
