(I almost couldn't catch up, the dormitory typing environment is too harsh...)

"Full master the North Sea and paralyze the British East Coast shipping; submarines and attack ships strangle the blood transfusion line between Britain and its colonies, weakening the potential of Britain's war; ocean fleets frequently raid Britain's mainland, encircle and suppress large fleets, destroying ports and shipbuilding facilities. This is all about the suffocation plan."

Wang Heidi took the Scapa Bay landing plan that was modified by Wolfgang Wegener, and for the first time he revealed the chess game he had been brewing for a long time in front of people outside the Navy.

"While the suffocation plan, the Navy will implement the Scapa Bay landing plan, forcing the British to divert more energy to the local area and to the fortifications in northern Scotland."

"But the British have stored a large fleet in the English Channel. Perhaps they can't fight against the Ocean Fleet, but it should be a problem for landing fleets." Falkenhein's eyes fell on the English Channel. Although the Battle of Portsmouth allowed the whole world to see through the reality of the English Channel's defense line, Falkenhein was still worried about the outdated Strait fleet.

"General, the Ocean Fleet is like the sword of Damos hanging above the British. Whether it is guarding the local area or maintaining the dominance of the sea, the panic British can only put the main battleship construction plan first. This is our opportunity to break through the English Channel!"

Wang Heidi pointed to a series of British shipbuilding data calculated by the staff of the Admiralty, smiled happily, and explained to the Chief of Staff of the Army's Chief of Staff the origin of his confidence:

"The British Empire never lacked shipyards and skilled technical workers, but the resources were their Achilles ankles. The suffocation plan was the suffocation of the British Empire's hematopoietic ability. The Scapa Bay landing plan was the forbidden fruit of the British Empire's acceleration of its main ship shipbuilding plan. In fact, the British Navy needs not only the main ships, but also a large number of modern cruisers and destroyers at this stage. Since the war started, British light surface ships have suffered heavy losses. After the navy shelled London in April, Britain dared not take the defense of the Thames light river light defense. Newcastle, Harrich, Fers Bay, Scapa Bay and Willis Bay on the east coast also needed a large number of light warships to guard. In order to avoid strangulation of submarines, the ocean-going fleet needed light ship escort. The stretched British Navy could only draw or waste precious gold reserves from the Straits fleet and buy from foreign countries."

Wang Heidi stopped the topic at the right time. The Chief of Staff of the Army and the Deputy Commander of the Ocean Fleet and the Commander of the First Reconnaissance Fleet looked at each other, because everything was silent.

"General Silame, there is nothing to say about the naval battle part of the 'Overlord Plan'. But the key to land war is really fucked!"

The Chief of Staff nodded and continued to look through the "Overlord Plan". The plan written by Wang Heidi and Redell was very detailed. Falkenhein took out his treasured cigar box and threw two cigarettes for Wang Heidi and Weigener.

After skillfully cutting the cigar, Falkenhein held the cigar in his arms, compared the plan, and deduced it on the continental map through the air. Soon, Falkenhein was not satisfied with his eyes and thought of it. He removed the documents on the table, pulled off the map hanging on the wall and spread it on the desk. He picked up the pencil and started the real deduction.

After skipping the naval battle part and coming to Falkenhein's land battle, the Chief of Staff shook his head with a little annoyance, as if complaining that the navy's rough army literacy had destroyed this wonderful plan. He threw down the pencil and let the pencil roll on the map. He sucked a cigar held by his left hand in a small mouth, and pressed the index finger of his right hand into the gap between Normandy Beach and Paris on the map, and said in confusion:

"Also, since breaking through the English Channel is not a problem, why not send more troops at once. Although the rear of France is extremely empty, what can a mere 40,000 people do in the heart of France? If we cannot send troops with decisive power at one time, I am worried that the lonely landing will not only not stir up the Western Front battlefield, but will redirect the positional war into a mobile war that is beneficial to us, but will instead make these 40,000 people a delicious meal for the French."

"Chief of Staff, the Navy is indeed capable of sending more than 80,000 troops to Normandy, but the larger the mobilization scale, the greater the risk of the battle leakage; furthermore, completing the landing and sea supply are completely different. Once we complete the landing in the rear of France, the British will definitely attack the sea supply line regardless of the losses, and the Navy may not be able to guarantee the 80,000 troops' supplies by then."

After all, Wang Heidi is not a monster who is proficient in naval and land warfare at the same time. The admiral's face turned slightly red, and he was determined to pull Max Hoffman, who was frustrated on the Eastern Front battlefield to improve the land warfare process that copied the landing plan of a landing war in World War II. Carefully change the topic, Wang Heidi pointed to the Arongwa protrusion less than 100 kilometers away from Paris and said lightly:

"Furthermore, the French hoarded heavy troops on the front line, and there were only a few reserve divisions from Normandy to Paris at most. Once the empire successfully landed, even if there were only 40,000 people, the French had to mobilize troops from the front line. With land cruisers and gaps after the troops were drawn, it would be appropriate for the Western Front heavy troops to break through the French position!"

The land cruiser is not only the pinnacle of the crossing passengers who open their golden fingers, but also the last resort to Falkenhein insisting on the western front as the center of gravity in the face of complaints from the commander of the Eastern Front. Falkenhein's view of young people changed drastically. The two people who thought they had a little research on the land cruiser both left the Overlord Plan and discussed the correct way to use the land cruiser.

The focus is on whether to use land cruisers in a concentrated manner as a scattered weapon as infantry cover weapons. Army Chief of Staff Falkenhein prefers the latter, but he was convinced by Wang Heidi: it was not that Wang Heidi had Raush's talent in land combat, nor that he had carefully studied tank warfare tactics in his previous life, but that he valued the breakthrough point - the front of the Avarong protrusion in the Compière District in northeastern Paris was too compact and could only be used in the direction of Paris.

Controversy abounded, veterans were experienced, and young people were wildly imaginative, so the old and young lay on the map without any personality and chatting endlessly. The ashtray pressed on the battlefield on the eastern front of the map was soon filled with cigarette butts, and the office of the Chief of Staff with doors and windows closed was smoky, and it was about to become the heaven and earth. The one-armed general was quite unbearable, so he had to retreat near the windowsill and breathe heavily.

The exchange had to be terminated early after more than an hour. Falkenhein's private secretary knocked in and was shocked by the scene of the guests and guests having fun. You should know that when the Admiral met with the Chief of Staff of the Army, Falkenhein almost wrote his impatience on his face. The secretary who came to his senses was almost smoky by the choking smell of smoke in the room, and coughed a few times. He could finally speak.

"General Sileme, General Wegener, the Admiralty called. His Majesty William held an emergency meeting of the Navy and Army in Charlottemberg, and Marshal Schell asked the General to return to the Admiralty as soon as possible."

The one-armed general who could not resist the smell of smoke smiled like a flower, but Wang Heidi, who rubbed a lot of cigarettes, was a little reluctant. The young man put his hands in his pockets and shrugged at Falkenhein awkwardly.

"If Hindenburg and Rudendolph learned about the navy's landing plan, they would definitely complain about why the navy chose to venture across the English Channel to land in Normandy, rather than the Baltic lowlands - the Bay of Riga." Falkenhein waved his hand to let the secretary clean up the mess on the table, and handed Wang Heidi his right hand, joking with the legendary narrow-minded young man.

"Chief of Staff, the Russians on the Eastern Front seem weak, but we should not forget the lessons of Napoleon's expedition, let alone the solution to France is the best choice for the empire fighting on both sides!"

Unlike the perfunctory handshakes when they first met, Wang Heidi felt something different from the Chief of Staff of the Army. The veteran in 1861 and the newest in 1879 shook their arms, repeatedly staged scenes of forcing the palace. Wang Heidi, who was regarded as a threat to the existing system by the army officers loyal to the emperor, was finally willing to tell the reason for his strength.

"Whether the army is willing to admit it, the Empire has been deeply trapped in positional warfare. The Battle of Jutland can only give the Empire more than a year to break the window for positional warfare. In 1917, the Great Fleet will inevitably rise again. Given the Empire's natural terrain disadvantage, before the Ocean Fleet launched a decisive battle and completely crushed the British Navy, the Empire's maritime blood transfusion line is likely to be interrupted again, so I have always insisted on using France as the first object to solve."

Falkenhein unconsciously paused when he sent the two generals out. Through more than an hour of exchange, the Chief of Staff found that many of his views coincided with Wang Heidi, but before that, he only considered the land perspective, Wang Heidi interpreted all this from the sea situation. Not only did he bring him a spiritual shock, but he also felt urgency.

Perhaps only this young man in the empire understands the essence of position war and attrition. This is precisely because of his understanding, he seems a little impetuous and alternative. Falkenhein began to understand some of his doubts.

"France is an old industrial power. It is true that their army has rigid tactics and conservative ideas, but in terms of individual soldiers' quality and weapons, they are no worse than the empire. After the outbreak of the European War, the war was always in France. In addition, the northwest region with relatively developed industries fell, so its war potential has been greatly weakened. If it weren't for the British's timely blood transfusion, France might have fallen long ago. After the Battle of Jutland, the navy began to threaten the British mainland, forcing the British government to focus on the domestic and reduce blood supply to France, so France is now weaker."

Wang Heidi did not notice that the Army Chief of Staff had fallen behind. He walked forward and continued his speech:

"We should defeat the French in one go, use the French industry to strengthen the power of the emperor, shock and win over neutral countries, and finally turn the gun against Russia. If we concentrate our efforts on seemingly weak Russia at this stage, once we are held back by Russia's huge national strategic depth and the cold winter, the French with strong industrial heritage will definitely take the opportunity to restore their strength and make a comeback."

Ha! It’s not like Prince Henry’s exaggeration or Rudendolf’s complaints. This is the real strength of the undefeated Ares, right?!

Falkenhein was already behind him, and he looked at the lonely but straight back of the young man, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

The young man's speech continues:

"Chief of Staff, in fact, the best way to deal with the Russians is to let it self-destruct. The European road rollers were already at a loss, and the contradictions between workers and capitalists, peasants and landlords, and nations were almost irreconcilable. Before the illusory war dividends were obtained, these contradictions would tear apart this country that was about to go bankrupt. Instead of invading the heart of Russia, uniting the Russians, and repeating the miracle of Napoleon's eastward expedition, we would rather maintain pressure on Russia in three directions, consuming their resources, and keeping space, allowing the Russians to flee... to death with physical weakness!"
