Chapter 704 (1/2)

”If the Germans use a large number of amphibious tanks to attack at night, we can't block the German main force on the beach with our existing strength.” Archibald said to Churchill.

Britain is safe because it is across the English Channel. Therefore, in the first World War, Britain was not affected. Britain mainly sent troops to fight side by side with France.

But now it's different. Obviously, the goal of the Germans is to cross the Strait!

Because the German army is too strong, one of the most important bottom lines to protect Britain is that the Germans can't seize the beach and land, and can't get a good harbor. If the Germans occupy the beach position, they will continuously transport their army. It can be imagined that in that case, the Germans will occupy Britain, It's a certainty.

On the beach, it will be a drunken and tragic battle. If Britain can push the German soldiers who have landed into the sea before the arrival of the German landing troops in the next wave, Britain will win. If the Germans hold on and backup continues to come, the Germans will win.

”In other words, we must strengthen our garrison in Dover and other places.” Churchill frowned.

Now that it has been determined that the Germans will land in Dover, the most important thing for our side is to strengthen Dover's defense. At that time, even if it is filled with life, it will push the Germans into the sea as in World War I!

However, unlike in history, those British Expeditionary Forces are now working in German mines. There are quite few British troops. Although they are constantly recruiting troops, not a civilian can become a soldier at any time. They must strengthen training, especially now, if civilians are allowed to go up with guns, That's not much different from dying.

The best way is to transfer from the existing troops!

Churchill looked at the map and said, ”mobilize some of the garrison troops to Dover. At the same time, call up a reserve team to form a second line of defense between London and Dover. Once the Germans break through our beach position, we will continue to fight later.”

Britain, an island country, seriously lacks strategic depth. If the Germans land from here, they can come to London in a few days!

At that time, we have to think about how to retreat backward.

Churchill has felt a lot of pressure, but he will never give in. Finally, it's a big deal, just sleep with Britain. In short, Churchill is determined.

The order of troop mobilization was issued soon. Almost before dawn, there were troops and they were ordered to move out.

For example.

Plymouth.

The high meter flag was flying in the open square. The garrison commander Sir nelty Ramsey stood under the flagpole, looked at the last truck, carried his soldiers and left the base here.

There are 30000 defenders in the whole port. Now, with a transfer order, 20000 defenders have to be transferred to Dover. Facing this transfer order, he has no indication.

It is the duty of a soldier to carry out orders, and now the British Empire has long been shaken.

The superior judged that the German's expected landing place was Dover, so the defenders here had to be transferred. Of course, it was a high-level secret. Only people at his level would know the inside story.
