Biwan's strategic deception can be said to be amazing, but if the confidentiality work cannot be done well and the true feelings are revealed, then not only will the carefully planned strategic deception be of no use, but it will also bring a catastrophe to the landing. Therefore, the UK has taken unprecedented confidentiality measures, code-named "The Stubborn Program".

First, in order to prevent Germany and Italy from obtaining intelligence from Ireland, Britain and the United States forced Ireland to close the German and Italian embassy in Ireland and confiscate its radio equipment. From February 9, 1941, Britain interrupted all civil exchanges with Ireland. On March 17, it further announced the blockade of Ireland and intercepted all aircraft and ships leaving Ireland without permission.

Secondly, in order to prevent diplomats from obtaining intelligence from foreign affairs, starting from April 17, the UK announced that it would temporarily cancel diplomatic privileges and prohibit diplomats from traveling and entering and leaving the UK; prohibit the use of diplomatic mail; prohibit the diplomatic embassy from using radio stations to communicate with their own countries. If there is an emergency, only radio stations and radio operators provided by the UK can be used; and comprehensive vigilance is imposed on diplomatic embassies of various countries.

Again, strict news inspections are implemented for civil news reports, and all reports must be inspected multiple times before they can be published in the newspapers. Reporter is prohibited from sending newspapers overseas and exporting newspapers and magazines is prohibited in case Germany obtains information from them. From May 25, all letters sent from the UK will be postponed. Except for necessary personnel, citizens are restricted from entering and leaving the UK.

Confidential measures for participating troops were unprecedented. On April 1, the ten miles off the southern coast of England where landing troops were gathered were announced as a military restricted area. The troops canceled their leave from April 6, and all official documents and letters of soldiers and civil servants were inspected. US military personnel were prohibited from using cross-border telephones without authorization, and telegrams were contacted with the United States.

Starting from May 28, all participating troops in the early stage of landing shall not leave the battalion surrounded by barbed wire and inspected by military police without authorization. The login plan shall always be limited to the range of carefully selected officers. Seven days before the day d (the code name of the login day) shall be issued to the division-level commander. Three days before the day d, the login area map, nautical chart and other enemy information shall be issued to the battalion-level commander. Two days before the day d, combat orders shall be issued to each unit. At the same time, 2,000 intelligence personnel shall be closely monitored and inspected by the officers and soldiers at all levels of the participating troops.

Despite such unprecedented confidentiality measures, leaks still occur from time to time. Fortunately, the German army did not know the truth.

On March 22, 1941, staff from the Chicago Post Office in the United States opened a military postal bag with a login combat plan without permission. The relevant personnel were immediately reviewed and monitored by the FBI, and finally found out that it was just an accident.

On April 18, 1941, US Army Major General Henry Miller claimed at a cocktail party in London, England that the Allies would attack France in early June. He was immediately removed from office. He was demoted to lieutenant colonel and sent back to China.

On May 28, 1941, twelve top-secret documents about landing operations were blown to the street from the street window of the British General Staff, scattered onto the street. At this time, everyone in the General Staff, from senior officers to low-level clerks, rushed out to find the documents scattered on the street. But only eleven were retrieved. Just when everyone was anxious, a passerby handed over the twelfth document to the sentry on duty, which was a false alarm.

So, how effective did the deception and confidentiality measures that exhausted the Allies' minds achieve? The Allies used "super secrets" to decipher the German password and closely monitor the German reaction.

There are two types of passwords in the Limo Command, one is the Engel code used by the German army, and the other is the original code. The Allied forces have deciphered the Engel code. From the deciphered intelligence analysis, the German commander on the Western Front, Limo, the "villain" who sneaked into the British local fleet, has been deceived because at least seven German infantry divisions and three armored divisions were moving towards the Calais area. In fact, the Allied forces did not know at all. These troops were also fake. Only those troops were supplementary training regiments in the Far East. The main force of the division did not move at all, just kept the radio silent.

At this time, an accident happened. The German army found two bodies of US officers on the beach where the Allied forces landed, carrying all the combat plans of the 5th and 7th Army of the US that were not as good as destroying. When this combat plan was handed over to Li Mo, Li Mo looked carefully and felt that this should be a real Allied landing plan, but how could it appear on the body of US officers on the beach of Normandy, and it was extremely dissatisfied. Li Mo immediately asked Major General Ronner, director of the German Western Front Intelligence Department, to be responsible for the handling.

Li Mo's principle was to make the Allies believe as much as possible that they had deceived themselves. The Allies' landing in Normandy was just a feint, and the real landing was still in the Calais region.

Subsequently, General Marshall, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, rushed to London and worked with the Supreme Command and the London Oversight Office to closely monitor the German dynamics. He was discussing whether to bomb all bridges on the Seine, including those in Paris, to prevent the German reinforcements. At midnight, the confidential secretary sent the news that he had just received:

Li Mo had ordered the 15th Army to return to Calais, and German troops from other parts of Western Europe quickly reinforced Calais. - Everyone was relieved. Although the battle in Normandy was still in full swing, everyone knew that the landing was already invincible.

The most surprising thing was Biwan. He never thought that the "Guards Plan" would achieve such great success. Marshal Brooke, the chief of staff of the British Army, said: "Since Li Mo is such a fool, how could we defeat him with such a long time and energy?" Then, British Prime Minister Churchill and British Intelligence Director Menzies came to the Supreme Command and highly praised the organization and implementation of the "Guards Plan": in the long history of the British intelligence department, this has reached its peak!

But for Li Mo, a time traveler, they were just a clown-like performance, and they didn't even know who was a fool. It would be clear soon.

The assault echelon of the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army was composed of the 505,507,508th Paratrooper Regiment and the Strengthening Detachment, with a total of 6,800 people, commanded by the division commander Major General Liqiwei, and boarded 369 transport planes. It was planned to airborne the west bank of the Metler River west of St. Mahjongris. The mission was to capture St. Mahjongris, control the bridge and ferry between the Metler River from Rafiel to Schefdupon, and ensure that the US 7th Army passes through the Metler River.

The 505th Regiment was commanded by Colonel William Ekman and planned to land on the east bank of the Metler River, and to capture Rafiel, Nowel Oprah, and St. Maune Igris with three paratrooper battalions. The 1st Battalion was extremely scattered when airborne due to the plane deviating from the route. After landing, the battalion commander Major Keiram only gathered a very small number of people and was blocked by the German army while advancing towards Rafiel. The battalion commander and acting battalion commander were killed one after another and failed to complete the scheduled mission to occupy Rafiel.
