Chapter 474 The Great Plan

"However, have you ever thought about how long we need to prepare to transport so many troops to South America and the various materials that are enough for them to use, and during the preparation process, the United States and Canada will not be informed of our plan. In addition , so many troops and supplies, how do we transport them to the Americas. According to the most basic estimate, we need at least 500 transport ships. Does the Navy have that many transport ships? Even if we can temporarily requisition merchant ships to undertake the transport The task, but who can guarantee that the United States and Canadians will not be discovered during this process? With so many troops, supplies and ships assembled, unless the Americans and Canadians are fools, they will definitely not know what we want to do " Xiao Jie pointed out the loopholes in Eke's plan one by one. Of course, this does not mean that he is unwilling to send troops to support Davout, after all, Davout has maintained a very good relationship with him. And whether the French 1st Army can persist in South America will also have a great impact on France's future strategy. The reason why he said this was entirely in the hope that Eke and the others could come up with a practical plan.

Both Eck and Dougal were silent. It's not that they haven't thought about this problem, but this problem is really too difficult to solve. And time is so urgent, the South American war may start at any time. These are forcing them to come up with solutions as soon as possible.

Seeing the embarrassment of Eke and Dougal, Xiao Jie knew that there was really no other way for them. So he smiled and said, "If you two don't have any good solutions, I can give you a suggestion." In Xiao Jie's mind, there are many ways to solve this problem. The most classic is the landing of the American and British coalition forces in Normandy during World War II. At that time, before launching the Normandy landing battle, the U.S. and British troops deployed a large number of suspicious soldiers on the opposite bank of Calais, France, and released many false news. It made Germany think that the American and British coalition forces would land in Calais, thus relaxing the defense of the Normandy area. This enabled the US-British Allied Forces to successfully land on the ground. France now faces a conundrum that is remarkably similar to that faced by the United States and Great Britain at the time. Xiao Jie believed that if France used the strategy used by the U.S. and British troops in person, it would be very possible to hide it from the U.S. and Canada and successfully land in South America.

"Your Majesty, what is the method?" Dougal asked hastily. Eke is also full of hope.

"In fact, this method is very simple. We can deploy a large number of troops in the Normandy Peninsula, the Calais area, the Netherlands and Norway, and make it look like we are going to attack the defense line established by the United States and Canada in the eastern North Atlantic. You said that the United States and Canada What do you think? At that time, we can justifiably assemble a large number of troops and ships in these three places. However, because the implementation of this plan requires too many troops. So we can only deploy a few in Calais, the Netherlands and Norway troops, but we must let the United States and Canada think that we have deployed a large number of troops in those places. And our troops that are actually going to land in South America are all deployed in the Normandy peninsula. Finally, in the eastern North Atlantic line of defense established by the United States and Canada Launch an attack. It's just that the destination of the troops deployed in Normandy is changed to South America. I think that when our troops appear on the coast of South America, the President of the United States will definitely order their intelligence chief to be shot. "Xiao Jie said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this plan is really great. You are truly a genius." Dugel admired sincerely. He is an honest person after all, and he generally doesn't praise others. But now, he was completely conquered by the plan proposed by Xiao Jie. He never thought that in Xiao Jie's hands, the problem that he thought was impossible to solve could be solved with such an understatement.

However, after hearing Xiao Jie's plan, Eke was shocked. However, they found that it is also very difficult for France to complete the plan Xiao Jie mentioned. "Your Majesty, although your plan is very shocking and perfect. However, judging from the situation we are facing now, it is almost impossible to complete such a plan." Eck said directly.

Xiao Jie was not unhappy about Eke's directness. On the contrary, he likes this way of ministers very much. This keeps him from making mistakes. For France, this is absolutely very important. Just like Napoleon at the beginning, although he established a huge empire, he did not do enough to appoint talents and correct his own mistakes. This has nothing to do with the destruction of the Napoleonic Empire.

"Indeed, there are certain problems in completing this plan with our current strength. However, it is definitely not impossible." Xiao Jie said with certainty.

"Then, Your Majesty, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer." Eck said.

"Tell me." Xiao Jie looked at Eke with great interest. Regarding Eke's question, he also didn't think that it was because Eke didn't give him face. He knew that Eke was completely for the sake of the country.

"Your Majesty, according to your plan, how many troops do we have to use? The European war has just ended, and we simply don't have so much strength to complete this plan. In addition, many legions are still distributed in other parts of Europe. It is basically impossible to rush back to France in time. And the war in South America may break out at any time. Our time is simply too late." Eck asked first.

"Yes. We are slightly understrength. However, we only need to build up the main force in Normandy, and other places can use tactics to make the United States and Canada think that we have a lot of troops deployed. Of course, deliberately building very large forces. A large military camp, let the troops go out of the city and turn back quietly, and then go out of the city again. In this way, those American and Canadian spies will definitely not know the real strength of our troops. They will only think that we have sent a large number of troops In addition, for the troops deployed in the Netherlands and Calais, there is no need for us to use elite regiments. We can use the newly formed French 4th and 5th regiments. As long as the logos of the regiments are changed, who knows which regiment they belong to. As for the army in Norway, we can completely let the French 3rd Army enter Norway from Sweden. Anyway, Sweden is almost pacified now. I believe they can play this scene well. As for the army deployed in Normandy, that is Troops sent to South America. I personally think that the 89th Army and the Iberian 2nd Army deployed in Central Europe can be used." Xiao Jie said.

Eck was silent, and then said: "But the 89th Army and the Iberian 2nd Army were sent to South America. How can we guarantee the safety of France and the stability of Central Europe?"

"I'm not worried at all about France. With the existence of the 88th Army, I don't believe that any country can endanger France. Although the 88th Army has not participated in the war for many years, their combat effectiveness is absolutely no one dares to underestimate Yes. If the United States and Canada take advantage of this period to attack France, let alone whether they can break through the naval blockade. Even if they can break through the naval blockade, it will just give the 88th Army a chance to test it." Xiao Jie smiled. Said. He has always been full of confidence in the 88th Army.

"As for the stability of Central Europe. We can definitely transfer the French 2nd Army from Poland to Central Europe. Poland is now our strongest ally, and we don't need to station so many troops in Poland. And now Eastern Europe is basically calm Now, occasionally there are some opposing forces, and the French 4th Army and the Iberian 3rd Army are also completely capable of destroying each other." Xiao Jie continued.

Eke nodded, he was still very satisfied with Xiao Jie's answer.

"Then Your Majesty~www.novelbuddy.com~ follow the plan you mentioned. Then we have to deploy a large number of transport fleets in Normandy, Calais, the Netherlands and Norway. Where can we find so many transport ships at once? What? If merchant ships are recruited, it will inevitably have a great impact on our country's economy, and it is also very likely to cause dissatisfaction among merchants. It will be very detrimental to us if we do this before the war comes." Eck asked with some concern.

"Well, the navy definitely doesn't have enough transport ships. We can only recruit merchant ships. However, we can try our best to mobilize the patriotic enthusiasm of the merchants. Starting tomorrow, the Imperial Daily will start to publicize our conflicts with the United States. And the United States The fact that it has already reached our door. I believe the merchants will fully cooperate with our actions." Xiao Jie said with a frown. For this, he can not fully guarantee.

"Your Majesty, if it is a businessman from this country, I fully believe in their patriotic enthusiasm. But, don't forget. There are still a large number of Jewish businessmen. They are all mercenary guys. I am afraid they will find it difficult to cooperate with us." Eck was a little worried.

"It's really not easy to handle. But businessmen value profits. Jewish businessmen are even more so. As long as we promise them certain benefits, then I think they will be very willing to cooperate with us. It's just that it will cost a lot of money. Expenses." Xiao Jie said with some heartache.
