Chapter 433 D Plan 2)

Time has entered May 39 years, and it is not a hot summer.

In Paris, France, an important military conference is being held, and the theme of the conference is of course how to deal with the German offensive!

After the First World War, although France was a victorious country, it began to build an unbreakable Maginot Line of Defense. France did not want to fight, and France wanted peace. In this way, the Maginot Line of Defense used for defense is the most important thing.

France invested a lot of time and money to build the Macino line of defense unbreakable, but this line of defense only covers the southern border.

In the northern part of France, France and Belgium are critical, while in the eastern part of Belgium, Germany is the eastern part of Belgium.

In other words, Belgium is located between Germany and France, and is a buffer zone between France and Germany.

Although Belgium has a small land area, its strength is not weak, and it is also among the top 20 countries in the world.

On the surface, Belgium has always strictly adhered to neutrality and declared itself a "permanent neutral country". However, in the war, no neutral country could survive.

Before World War I, Belgium was very close to Germany, and after World War I, it was relatively close to France. Belgium even followed France to occupy the German Ruhr industrial zone, creating the Ruhr crisis and causing hatred among the Germans.

However, with Germany's strength, Belgium began to weigh the trade-offs again. For Germany, Belgium is a small country that is not afraid of at all.

For the sake of its own security, Belgium refused to cooperate with France and refused to strengthen its arms in order not to stimulate Germany.

Although there is a solid Maginot line of defense on the German-French border, Belgium in the west has only some temporary field fortifications, and the Germans' current strategy is to break through from Belgium.

It is absolutely too late to build a defense line in Belgium, so we can only use other solutions.

The person who presided over the meeting was General Morris Gammerlin of France. Now he is already a white-bearded old man.

He was born in 1872 and is now almost sixty years old.

He graduated from Saint-Sil Military Academy in 1893. During World War I, he was promoted to brigade general in 1916. After the war, he served as commander of the French army in Syria and chief of staff of the army. He served as the Chief of Staff of the Army since 1935. Since 1938, he served as the Chief of Staff of the French army.

Historically, on September 3, 1940, he served as commander-in-chief of the French Army and commander-in-chief of the British and French coalition forces, and formulated a plan to fight against the main force of the German army in Belgium. At the same time, he urged Wei Gang to actively organize the Eastern Army and attempt to open a second battlefield in the Balkans.

Now, Gan Molin is the backbone of the French team. Although the dark clouds of the battle are covering the entire Europe, Gan Molin does not hesitate or hesitate.

What are you afraid of? The French Army is the most powerful in Europe!

Now, Gan Molin is the commander-in-chief of the British and French coalition forces, and he will formulate an action plan to prevent the German offensive.

"We have already obtained the yellow plan for the German attack, and at the same time, we have also investigated the recent transfer of the German team, which is consistent with the yellow plan." Gan Molin said: "So, we must carry out further targeted counterattacks on the yellow plan."

Until now, France's action plan is still defense. They never seemed to have thought of taking the initiative to attack. If they attacked from the Maginot line and made a large-scale attack, they would be able to break through the German line and even attack Berlin.

Our side has already obtained the other side's intelligence. Even if the other side knows that the intelligence has been leaked, they have no choice. Unless they are preparing to attack the Maginot line, it is impossible to change.

"Our plan is to deploy our main force to Belgium once war begins." Gan Molin said: "Belgium is now preparing to build a solid line of defense. We want to stop the German armored forces in Belgium."

"It includes our First French Army and the Ninth Army and the British Expeditionary Force to form our First Army Group, ready to rush to Belgium, and build the main defense line along the river Del and Yance, through Ruwen, Namuir and Giver to Mezier." Ganmolin pointed to the large-scale map on the wall and said to the officers present.

"But why don't we deploy our troops directly to Belgium now? Once the war begins, Belgium may not be able to hold on to our arrival." said an officer present.

Gan Molin glanced at him. Why did this British official ask such a stupid question?

The commander of the 3rd Division, Bernard Law Montgomery, was looking at him with his eyes wide open, with expectations in his eyes.

Montgomery is not as famous as later generations. Now he is just a division commander. As one of the main forces of the British Expeditionary Force, his troops crossed the English Channel and entered France and also participated in this military conference.

"Because Belgium is still neutral now, the German soldiers have not declared war on Belgium." Looking at this guy as if he was an idiot, Gan Molin had to tell the answer.

Now, Belgium is still a neutral country, and they still have fantasies. In order not to anger Germany, Belgium now does not agree to the entry of British and French troops.

Belgium is also a two-faced person. On the one hand, he promised France to step up the construction of fortifications and deployed Belgian troops to the border to deal with possible German invasions. On the other hand, Belgium rejected the proposal of British and French troops to enter Belgian territory and protect them.

"We can only be behind the Belgians," Ganmolin continued: "Belgium has two lines of defense, along the Meuse River and the Albert Canal, with the main forces of Belgium."

"Once Belgium is attacked by Germany, we will immediately advance eastward, and General Bjöt commands the First Army Group, and set up the Meuse-Luwan-Antwerp defense line behind the Belgians. No matter how incompetent the Belgians are, they should be able to persevere until our arrival."

Gan Molin was quite satisfied with his plan. If the Belgians agreed, of course they would enter immediately, but now, they cannot enter Belgian territory directly. Otherwise, it would be an invasion. What should I do if I annoy Belgium and throw myself into Germany's arms?

Gan Molin was a very famous strategist during the First World War. He developed the battle plan for the Masi Battle and achieved success. Now, he is the pillar of the entire French team. He firmly believes that his plan is completely fine and will definitely block the Germans!
