"Gelbe pl?ne?" Maurice Gustave Gammelin, Commander-in-Chief of the French Army and Commander of the British Expeditionary Force, asked the adjutant beside him, frowning at the wrinkled plan book in his hand. Said, "This is the German war plan you told me about?"

"Uh, yes, General!" The adjutant saluted.

"Where did this thing come from?"

"Report to General, this thing was captured by the Belgian Allies." The adjutant replied respectfully, "The Royal Belgian Air Force shot down a German fast liaison plane in Belgium that was lost in bad weather and entered Belgium. This plan is Captured from this plane."

"The German fast liaison plane? Was it shot down by the Royal Belgian Air Force?" Kammelin pondered for a while, "Why do I feel that something is wrong? With the few broken planes of the Royal Belgian Air Force, can the German fast liaison plane be shot down?"

"I don't know about that, General." The adjutant lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's what the Belgian side gave us anyway."

Gan Morin didn't speak any more, but silently opened the plan and read it.

More than half an hour later, Gan Morin closed the book he had read, and rubbed his forehead.

"Although I doubt its authenticity, this plan was written in great detail. From the beginning to the end of the attack, there was not a single omission." Gan Melin said slowly, "Maybe I was too suspicious."

"General, I also think this should be true." The adjutant said in agreement.

"Oh?" Gan Molin smiled when he heard the words, "You also think it's true? How did you see it?"

"General, can I use the map?" The adjutant pointed to the map hanging on the wall of the combat headquarters and asked.

"Of course." Gan Morin smiled and made a gesture of begging.

The adjutant nodded, picked up a stick and walked to the map, and said slowly: "General, on the way to deliver this book to you, I also took a general look. I think the main point of this book is It's just one word - get around!"

After listening to the adjutant's words, Gan Morin nodded with great interest and motioned the adjutant to continue.

"General, the Chinese often say that wars are fought at the right time and place. I think this is very correct! Up to now, it can well reflect the strategic situation of both sides."

Saying that, he pointed to a long line on the map with the stick in his hand, representing the fortress group.

"Look, we have the most powerful line of defense in the world on the German-French border - the Maginot Line! General, you must know it better than I do. It is made of reinforced concrete and equipped with various cannons. , trenches, fortresses, kitchens, power stations, hospitals, factories, etc., with access in all directions, and even a tramway in the larger fortifications! It has the ability to operate completely independently, even if the Germans stormed for a century, I bet it Nor will it fall."

"Then let's look at the center." After speaking, the adjutant pointed to Luxembourg, "We don't have to worry about the central part. As we all know, the reason why the Germans can swept Poland and is rampant for a while is because of his powerful armored troops, and Luxembourg In the back is the Ardennes Plateau, where the traffic is extremely poor, which is very unfavorable to the performance of the armored forces. Down is our Maginot line of defense, so how can it be regarded as the main attack area? Lyon is not stupid, he will never Concentrate your combat power in an area that is extremely unfavorable to you."

"So, I think the main attack area of ​​the German army will definitely be placed here!" The adjutant slammed his stick on a spot on the map, "Belgium! The terrain here is open, and 2/3 of the country is hilly or flat. The lowlands, although not comparable to the plains of Poland, are definitely suitable for the assault of the German armored groups! And you also know that due to money and Belgian idiots, our Maginot line could not be repaired to the Fabien border, so the German army Once a breakthrough is made in that place, it can launch an attack on the defenseless motherland!"

"That's right!" Cammelin nodded in appreciation, "So you also think they will choose to attack from Belgium?"

"Yes!" the adjutant said firmly. "In my opinion, they will definitely launch an attack from Belgium, and that's what the plan says."

"After listening to your words, I think my suspicions are more wrong." Gan Morin said with a smile, and walked up to pat the adjutant's shoulder, "Your vision is very unique, much better than your predecessor. It's gone!"

"Thank you for the compliment, General!"

"I'm just stating the facts." Gan Morin waved his hand and said.

"General, since Germany is going to attack from Belgium, what should we do?" the adjutant asked.

"What do you think we should do?" Gan Morin seemed to be interested.

"I think our elite and all the British expeditionary forces should be transferred to Belgium. Since the Germans want to invade from Belgium, then we will give them a beautiful defensive counterattack there to destroy Lyon's arrogance and teach Who among them is the number one army in the world!" the adjutant said confidently.

"It's pretty much what I thought." Gammelin nodded and said, "We'll let the Germans and Leon know how great they are!"

"Well. By the way, General, the plan I submitted last time..."

"That report on the construction of mechanized troops?" Gan Molin was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

"I'm still considering that plan."

"What's there to consider?" The adjutant was anxious. "Have you not seen the power of the German mechanized troops, General?"

"Charles de Gaulle! The situation is different, do you understand? The situation is different!" Gammelin looked impatient, "We are not Germany! Not even Poland! Do you understand? Germany's mechanized troops are great, but that doesn't mean we are suitable! Poland being swept by German tanks doesn't mean we will be swept away!"

"But..." Charles wanted to say something.

"Charle, I know that you were born in the tank army and have a soft spot for mechanized forces, but you have to consider the actual situation!" Gan Morin advised, "Now that we are in a state of war, we don't have the money to test Germany's mechanization. Is it suitable for us?"

Ciel lowered his head and remained silent.

"Okay, you go down. Go and call General Gott for me. I want to discuss with him the battle in Belgium." Cammelin waved his hand and motioned Charles to go down.

"Yes, my general." Ciel nodded and retreated with a displeased face.

Two days later, France's most elite First Army (35 divisions) began to enter Belgium in batches. The Ninth Army, which was originally defending the French coastal area, also began to advance to Belgium, and all 10 elite British expeditionary divisions were also in Goth. Assembled to Belgium under the command of the general.

In addition to Belgium's own 22 divisions, the number of Allied troops in Belgium has reached 1.5 million, and these 1.5 million are all elites and are the most combat-effective part of the Allies.
