According to the original history, the British and American Allied forces should have completed their torch landing operations at the end of 1942, and then continued to occupy Morocco and Algiers in 1943.

Then the Battle of Sicily was launched in July 1943 with the goal of occupying the Italian mainland.

Of course, all these combat plans were led by Churchill, which led them to Churchill's strategic battle in the Mediterranean, allowing the US military to follow the British pace to occupy North Africa first, and then Sicily and Italy...

This result is contrary to the US military's original combat plan to attack Sardinia, Corsica, and land in France to open up the second battlefield in Europe.

However, the US military was cleverly bullied by Churchill. As the operation commander of the Battle of Sicily, the British general Harold Alexander, who had average combat capabilities, was a famous retreat general who commanded the Great Retreat of Guo Kerk.

However, no matter what Churchill's wishful thinking was at that time, when the British and American troops commanded by Alexander and Eisenhower were defeated by Chen Yanlong in the Battle of Sicily, all Churchill's follow-up plans were also ruined.

So this time Eisenhower planned to take the risk and launch a surprise attack on the German defensive forces in Italy again to achieve a surprise attack.

As for Chen Yanlong's idea of ​​surprise attacks by British and American troops, he knew nothing about it.

But his current intuition told him that when he dispatched Rommel to Morocco and Guderian to the Middle East, he must re-deploy Italy's defense and never lose its native Italian territory and endanger Germany's local security.

So when he finished discussing with Kesseling and Churchill, he hurriedly took the car to the Gustav defense line, Bernhard defense line, and Hitler defense line to observe the defense deployment of the front line.

Although he could send Rommel and Guderian back at any time to station in Italy without him personally commanding the battle.

But for Chen Yanlong, he really needs oil from Libya, North Africa and the Middle East.

With a lot of oil, he can do a lot of things and get a lot of money to invest in Germany's national defense construction and economic and livelihood development.

In the later years, when the huge income of Russian natural gas and oil could give huge support to the treasury, it can be seen that a large amount of oil could obtain a large amount of money, and many mechanized troops could be mass-produced and used.

Half a day later, Chen Yanlong, accompanied by Kesselin, came to the Gustav defense line Casino Town for inspection.

In the original historical time and space, it took tens of thousands of troops to be killed and killed by British and American troops, and it took 4 months to occupy it.

The person who made the British and American Allies pay such a long time and the huge casualties was the German troops commanded by Kesseling, and of course the natural defensive terrain in the town of Cassino was also indispensable.

Both Cassino Town and Cassino Mountain are suitable for mountain warfare. Moreover, the German army only needs to set up hidden artillery observation posts on each hilltop to easily grasp the every move of the British and American combat forces, and thus use artillery fire to suppress and annihilate the British and American forces.

At the same time, the German army set up dams and channels at the source of the Rapidor River north of Casino; when the fierce stormy season in Italy arrives, the plains in the entire Casino area will become a vast ocean of water.

This will make all the plans to rely on mechanized troops and tank groups to attack Casino town be forced to pass through a few mountain roads, and these tanks and mechanized troops become prey for German anti-tank guns.

When Chen Yanlong arrived at Casino Town, he did not go to the famous Casino Monastery first, but went directly to the front line to inspect the underground passages that soldiers and workers were building, concrete underground bunkers, rotatable machine gun mounts and other defensive buildings, as well as the combat awareness of the officers and soldiers there.

Of course, after inspecting these, Chen Yanlong would still go to Casino Monastery, because there were many valuable oil paintings, cultural relics and other valuable things there.

Moreover, in the original history, Hermann William Goring also asked his Hermann Goring armored master to secretly steal more than 20 boxes of valuable oil paintings and cultural relics from there, and Ali celebrated his birthday.

Chen Yanlong felt that he needed to learn and carry forward the methods of making money like Hermann William Goring; because he now needs money and needs a lot of money to build more troops and more advanced weapons and equipment...

"How sure are you to keep Casino Town and Casino Mountain? Or how many days can you hold on to me?"

When Chen Yanlong inspected the construction of fortifications in Casino Town and Casino Mountain, he stared at Kesseling beside him with satisfaction and asked.

"Based on the current military strength and weapon equipment, I can hold on for half a year; of course, I also need to know the combat effectiveness and weapon equipment of the British and American troops, as well as the comprehensive situation of our air supremacy and other factors to make a judgment!"

Keseling was satisfied with the complete boast of all, but said his true thoughts.

"Well! We must obtain air supremacy, so in the air force, you need to do everything possible to get air supremacy on the European battlefield, especially the Italian local air supremacy that British and American forces may attack, we need to obtain it even more!"

"Without air supremacy, we have no victory!"

Chen Yanlong nodded in agreement.

"Yes! Head of State!"

Keseling agreed.

"In addition, I will draw more mountain infantry divisions from Edward's mountain troops to defend against Casino Town and Casino Mountain; because this is the most critical and important part of the entire Gustav defense line. If it is lost, the entire Gustav defense line will be almost ruined."

"So no matter what the price is paid, we must stick to the Gustav defense line, and also make the British and American troops pay a heavy blow to let them know what the outcome of the sneak attack is like!"

"Of course, before the war begins, I will give your troops enough weapons, equipment and ammunition, as well as logistics supplies!"

"So you can absolutely be sure to command the troops and fight against British and American troops!"

Chen Yanlong continued.

"Thank you! Head! I will definitely win!"

Keselin agreed happily.
Chapter completed!
