Chapter 60 June 6
June 6th is the time when the famous "Operation Overlord" began in history. In fact, the "Normandy Landing" in history began in the early morning of June 6th. At 0:16 am, the US 101st Airborne Division and the British 6th Paratrooper Division were already deployed to the Normandy area.
So what is the difference between the Normandy landing commanded by General Douglas MacArthur? The difference is that the scale of this operation is unprecedented. As mentioned earlier, due to the rise of the Chinese Federation, technological competition in the entire world is becoming increasingly fierce. In this case, if you want to attack the English Channel, it will not be enough if you follow the concentrated forces in history.
In addition, the Pacific War gave the Allies a lot of convenience due to the rebellion of the Japanese Empire. They could draw out enough Marines to come to the English Channel to fight against the Germans. Of course, General Douglas MacArthur considered a lot about casualties. Therefore, on the eve of the battle, he was secretly worried in front of the electronic map, looking at the battlefield situation map.
Up to now, the "Atlantic Barrier" built entirely by the Chinese Federation is still a mystery to the Allied forces. After all, the United States did not have satellites at this time, and the preventive measures taken by the "Atlantic Barrier" constructed by the Chinese Federation also made the Allied forces unable to get any news at all. The construction units of the Chinese Federation were not allowed to go out during construction, and returned to the Federation immediately after construction.
They accepted the "hush money" from the German government, and at the same time, the "First-line" operating company was told that the remarks of these people are absolutely not allowed to appear in the "First-line" media. Because the top-secret information about national defense projects in other countries is related to other countries, this does not constitute an incident of infringing on the "absolute rights" of citizens of the Chinese federal government. Without information from the Chinese federal government, the French internal intelligence personnel were not allowed to enter. After the construction of the entire "Atlantic Barrier", the ground was covered with artificial turf, and it was impossible to tell where the Germans were at the position.
As the Germans knew that the Allied attack was imminent and 50 coastal defense divisions entered the main position of the "Atlantic Barrier", some agents reported that the Allied forces heard about the appearance of the Atlantic Barrier.
The coastal defense division's base is still 10 to 25 kilometers away from the combat location, and there is a subway with a current 160 kilometers below the ground. This distance allows the coastal defense division to quickly move to the place where the Allied attacks. Moreover, the entire front is modularly controlled, and the bunker group can rise at any time and become a stronghold for combat. However, when people enter the complex underground passage, no one knows their correct location.
Everyone only knows their residence and the battle positions they may go to. As for things like observation, the staff departments of each division are responsible for, and the staff are different from ordinary soldiers' living areas. Especially in the entire "Atlantic Barrier", the Chinese Federation uses a large number of circuit controls. If it is said, this thing is as complicated as a large computer motherboard.
As for General Douglas MacArthur, the entire "Atlantic Barrier" project, the construction units of the Chinese Federation mobilized more than 3 million people and nearly 800,000 machines to be completed for six months. Looking around the world, it is probably only in a country with a population of 800 million and a territory of 20 million square kilometers that can concentrate so many construction units.
Moreover, the construction industry of the Chinese Federation is also the largest construction group in the world and has an absolute monopoly position in the whole world. Because they have mastered many high-tech technologies in the construction industry, their technology is the best in the global construction industry. In the past five years, all the famous buildings in the world have been completed by the construction units of the Chinese Federation. The reason is that the world's best top 200 architectural designers are citizens of the Chinese Federation. Their uniqueness is that they do not need to be built by non-China Federation.
"My God, what did those guys from the Chinese Federation build on the French coast!"
Admiral Douglas MacArthur sat in his office with a glass of wine in his hand. He looked at the electronic map on the wall in the war room and the huge sand tables in all directions on the ground. The sand tables were made very large and quite detailed. So much so that the signs to be arranged on it, or the model to be put down, all need a robot to do. Although it is a little troublesome, the advantage is that the situation on the entire battlefield can be clearly seen at a glance.
He got the corn cob pipe from his mouth and then took a sip of the spirits. At this moment, when all the plans were meticulous and complete, he was indeed not much. His only hope was that when he used a whole air fleet composed of "Washington-class winged air warships" to carry out a devastating blow, part or most of the "Atlantic Barriers" would be destructive.
In fact, he knew that this idea was a bit too optimistic. No one could know what was under the artificial turf, and no one knew what the "fast front" to build the "Atlantic Barrier" looked like. But just mentioning it one thing, I believe everyone would understand how much "surgery" was passed on on the entire French coast.
During the construction of the Chinese Federation's project, it excavated a depth of up to 100 meters. Moreover, the entire "Atlantic Barrier" module has extremely special structures. When the battle officially begins, everyone will understand these.
"12,000 ships carrying up to 1.5 million troops to land. At this scale... This is definitely the largest battle in the world, and I want to send those soldiers to an almost completely unfamiliar coast!"
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel worried. He originally wanted to reconnaise again, know more about the residence of the "Atlantic Barriers" before launching a full-scale attack. But there was not much time, because the battle of Stalingrad was about to end. At that time, Ukraine, Poland, the Netherlands, and the Chinese Federation might launch an attack on the Soviet Union.
As an allied army, we should support the Soviet Union in time so that Joseph Stalin and his comrades could last longer. This is a helpless thing. If we could not mobilize troops to aid the Soviet Union at that time and deploy enough troops on Japan Island, the war might have been lost. As long as the Chinese Federation conquered the Japanese archipelago, the war would be almost impossible to continue.
In this context, Douglas MacArthur knew that he could not delay any further because it had nothing to do with the victory of the "Battle of Overlords", but with the end of the war. As long as the Allied fleet and Australian troops on the Japanese archipelago were destroyed, the war would not have to be fought again, because the Allied forces no longer had the possibility of victory.

At this moment, the German submarines in the English Channel have been completely removed, which is unquestionable. This also includes the Mediterranean and some of the French coastlines. Moreover, the b29 heavy bombers have bombed the coast many times while suffering huge losses. Many of the turfs have been lifted, but nothing has been seen.
To this end, all the British local fleets were dispatched, and a large number of various types of fast warships made of the standard hull of the "Ganjiang II" produced by the Chinese Federation appeared at the forefront of the fleet. This medium-sized catamaran warship has the best adaptability to the sea, and their attack efficiency is also very good. Whether it is air defense, tide reflux or ground attack, they all have the best performance.
In addition, 25 battleships formed a support group with many transformed "simple aircraft carriers". Just as they appeared in the Sicily landing war, a large number of rocket launchers appeared to an extremely dense level here. Moreover, this landing was not just an infantry landing. Amphibious tanks and tanks were not a secret to the Allied forces. Although they may not be more capable than the amphibious tanks of the Chinese Federation, the number is large enough. Everyone should remember that the US military once used a large number of "straw sandals" landing assistance system on the Pacific battlefield, and various combat vehicles also have such systems here.
On the eve of the world's largest landing battle, a phone call came to him, but it made him immediately happy.
"Sir, our Grand Monarch system is operating well and I believe we can achieve the expected goals!"
"Yeah, very good!"
