"Is it really beginning?" Almost at the same time as Roosevelt, Meng Xiang, who received the start of the Normandy landings, still had a little disbelief on his face.

This overlord plan was known to Meng Xiang at the beginning of its establishment, but Meng Xiang has always taken a cautious attitude towards it.

The Battle of Normandy in another time and space was the largest landing operation in the world. At that time, Britain had not lost its homeland, the German army suffered heavy losses on the Eastern Front, Britain and the United States were well prepared, and there was a series of conditions such as the follow-up support of nearly three million troops.

Although Britain and the United States also kept their information strictly secret this time, they were much worse in terms of preparation and conditions

If nothing else, the English Channel alone is dangerous.

The British and American navies in another time and space had already controlled the English Channel and were able to cross smoothly. At this time, although the control of the German fleet in the English Channel was greatly reduced due to the increasing involvement of the US Navy, the German warships still stayed in the English Channel.

Like the Chinese airlift to Australia, relying only on air to supply the German army on the front line, whether it is fuel consumption, or in the face of the British and American air forces and ground artillery interception losses, as well as daily wear and tear, the cost is too high for the Germans to bear.

Therefore, the Germans still pinned their hopes on opening up the English Channel as a convenient passage.

As a result, the naval battles between the two sides near the English Channel continued, and the intensity of the battles even exceeded the naval battlefields in the Atlantic, North Sea, and Mediterranean.

While the British and American navies often attacked the logistical shipping lines of the German landing force, the German warships also posed a great threat to the British and American landing combat ships.

Moreover, although the German army did not have many troops near Normandy, the Germans stationed heavy troops in Calais in order to send troops to the British mainland in time, and also stationed German troops in Zeebrugge, Belgium and other places. If you are not careful, the landing ship can be blocked by German battleships and land defense forces. The result was even worse than the situation in Dunkirk.

But Roosevelt and the Americans gambled.

The factors facing the pressure of the election are slightly worse, and his own physical condition is one of the reasons why Roosevelt wants to make a breakthrough as soon as possible. Even though Roosevelt knew it wasn't the best time, he couldn't wait to crush the Germans step by step.

And the many predators behind it, in addition to those arms dealers, there are many other powerful capital predators who do not want the war to continue.

The European war does not stop, without the impetus of the original world's largest consumer market, and even the world market has been affected, many of their products cannot be sold. A vicious circle can crush them.

The predators behind the US regime are not only controlled by arms giants, but also by many industrial giants, whose power is so important that once they are united, they are enough to influence the US landscape and urge the US government to take the risk of ending the chaos of the European war ahead of schedule.

And even some of the giants who are related to the war. Tempted by the interests of Europe, he is also in favor of starting with the French.

Shot from Normandy, whether in the north of France, or in Belgium. There are opportunities to make a lot of money from it.

And in Great Britain, even if the Americans are sending more and more reinforcements. But the biggest voices are the British.

The arrogant British, although they took advantage of the assistance of the Americans, would never let the Americans do anything extra on the island of Great Britain at will.

With the financial and manpower of many colonies at the bottom, and the choice of many shadow companies such as umbrellas, it is difficult for the British to even let a large number of American troops on the island if it were not for the need to rely on the power of the Americans.

Equally. Both ends of the Mediterranean are stuck in the hands of the British, and the British, who have been crisscrossing the world for two or three hundred years, have fallen. Even in critical moments, it is necessary to stumble the Americans.

If you really think that there is a mess of harmony within the Allied Forces, it would be wrong to think that Britain and the United States were fighting for the initiative of the Allies from the beginning, if it were not for the dominance of the United States later, and the Soviet and Russian systems could be quickly twisted into a rope, I am afraid that it would be in the sound of conflict. It is also possible for Europe to fight for another year or two.

Coupled with the stalemate in the Italian attack, it is necessary to fight to the end with at least half of Italy. And with the support of the German army, it will not be effective in a short time.

And the U.S. military in Europe also needs to make a difference.

Although the U.S. military in Asia suffered a lot at the hands of the Japanese, after all, they won victories one after another and recovered many islands. This put a lot of pressure on the US military in Europe.

There are many contradictions within the United States, and the US military is also not in harmony. The struggle between the navy and the army, between the Pacific Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet, between the North and the South armies, and even between the states has a long history. After the United States entered the war, the interests of the European expeditionary forces and the Asian expeditionary forces were also not small.

What is involved in this is not just the issue of one or two victories, but also many higher-level struggles, such as the tilt of military spending and the distribution of interests among the interest groups behind it.

Eisenhower, who later fought in Europe, broke the rule of the Democratic Party under Roosevelt's prestige for many years, and overwhelmed many representatives of the Asia-Pacific Navy with the five-star admiral of the US Army, and ascended to the US presidential throne.

As a result, Roosevelt wanted to fight, the US military in Europe wanted to fight, the US coveted the fat of the European continent and the capital predators who needed to end the European continent as soon as possible wanted to fight, and the American people needed this news that their own troops were stepping on the European continent to satisfy the vanity of the American people, and finally the Americans fought.

For this Normandy landing, Britain and the United States have also been planning for a long time.

The intensification of the war in Italy required the attention of the Germans;

The islands of Sardinia and Corsica in the Mediterranean were constantly revealing that they were going to attack, and the Germans needed to strengthen their defenses;

Turkey's neutrality is a bit biased towards Britain and the United States, and there is some chaos in the Balkans from time to time, especially Romania, a large oil producer, which has been bombed by Britain and the United States on the one hand, and there are resistance groups and agents and spies on the other hand, and Germany also needs to send troops to suppress it;

The Allies in North Africa made a gesture of attacking and suppressing Spain and Portugal, and Germany had to make promises to Franco and Salazar, and focus on taking care of them;

Britain and the United States also revealed the news of landing on the southern coast of France, although it was not credible, but it still made the German army dare not be careless;

As the weather warmed up, the United States also made a gesture of attacking Norway, which caused the German army to increase the defense of the North Sea;

The U.S. Navy intensified its attacks on German submarines and warships in the Atlantic, trying its best to break the blockade of the German sea wolves on the British sea lifeline, and had to let the German army transfer manpower to continue to strangle;

The greatest pressure on the Germans still came from Soviet Russia, even if the weather warmed up and the German chariots roared again, the Russians, who had been stimulated by the many benefits given to Britain and the United States, still desperately entangled the German army. Not to mention that the Germans continued to expand their victories, even if they wanted to maintain the current front, the Germans needed to continuously draw large armies to fill the loopholes.

Even if it was mixed with the true news of the landing and attack in the English Channel, the Germans could not distinguish it, let alone care about it.

Moreover, even in the English Channel, Britain and the United States also vigorously suppressed the original passage of the German army in the sea east of London, and opened the passage of Calais, so that the passage of the German army to attack the British mainland was concentrated in Calais.

On land, it is also slowing down the defense in the southwest of England and stepping up the counterattack on the east of London.

In fact, at first, the Allies also wanted to use the southwest where Britain was still resisting to cross the English Channel and land in Cherbourg, France. It's a pity that because the German army has always attached great importance to Plymouth and other places, it has also become a place where the German army gathers heavy troops, and it is difficult to gather a large army at all.

The Americans had no choice but to re-consolidate Colchester and other areas that had not yet been completely conquered, and on the pretext of advancing from these places to London, a large number of American reinforcements were ready to make a series of preparations for the crossing of the Strait of Dover.

In the end, under the escort of the British and American navies, which had the advantage in the nearby seas, they blocked the German fleet in the direction of Calais and Rotterdam, and cleared a passage to attack Normandy.

All that remains is to take advantage of the German army's unpreparedness, land quickly, and hold it under the German attack.

By '44, the Germans were also tired, and the strength of the army was much worse than it was at its peak last year. In the face of the German counteroffensive of 43 years, this landing operation of the Allies is undoubtedly a death. But now, the outcome is hard to predict.

Meng Xiang couldn't tell whether this plan of Britain and the United States could really be implemented in the end, so naturally he wouldn't tell the Germans.

Even if he had accurate information, he would not have told the Germans.

Again, no matter whether China eats Germany with the Allies in the future, or forms an alliance with Germany, a weak Germany is the most beneficial to China. Germany alone, which protects the European continent, has made China lose a lot of opportunities.

When the Chinese peacekeepers came to Europe, the Germans refused to allow the Chinese troops to enter France. Now that the war in France is together, under the banner of protecting overseas Chinese, the Chinese army can also take the lead in it.

"Let's see!" So when Meng Xiang got the news that the Allies had launched the Normandy landings, he just said something lightly.

Of course, this look still makes Huaxia's intelligence departments and various think tanks focus part of their energy here, constantly observing, deducing and analyzing.

And this look at it, from beginning to end, I watched the entire Normandy campaign.
