"Northern France!" Rommel said the answer.

In fact, this answer is not difficult to guess. Not to mention that Britain had tried to land in northern France before, the Soviet Union had always asked Britain to fight back to Europe. More importantly, it was just as soon as you open the map to know that if the Allies wanted to shift their center of gravity, they had to move to northern France.

(Note: Historically, the Allies had other choices after winning the North African battle, such as southern France, Italy, and Greece, but the protagonist defended Sicily and Gabes' defense line, and the Allies had only two choices, Greece and northern France)

The German army even knew that one day Britain would land on the north shore of France, so since 1940, it has been building fortifications on the north shore of France. This fortification is also called the Atlantic Fortress.

After a while of silence, Rommel said worriedly: "If the Allies landed from northern France... we will be in trouble!"

Qin Chuan knew what Rommel was worried about. Germany was fighting fiercely with the Soviet Union on the eastern front. At this time, millions of troops were attacking Moscow. If the Allies landed on the northern shore of France with Britain as a base, and the Allied forces had a strong sea and air force, especially at this time, only a small part of the "Atlantic Barrier" (until the Allies landed in Normandy in 1944, the most complete part of the "Atlantic Barrier" project was only 68%).

So, if the Allies chose to land from northern France at this time, it would indeed be as Rommel said... "In trouble"!

At this time, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

You should know that the reason why the Allies did not land in Normandy in northern France until 1944 was not because the Allies had no conditions, but because Britain and the United States had a mentality of watching the tiger fight... The United States was actually hesitant and swaying in the middle. They had interests at both ends. Landing could improve their international status and suppress Britain. If they did not landing, they could watch both the Soviet Union and Germany suffer losses.

The reason why Britain and the United States were able to watch the tiger fight was because they had a good excuse, which was to fight against Italy in the Mediterranean direction.

This allows Britain and the United States to tell the whole world, especially the Soviet Union... Britain and the United States are not without combat, but they are fighting against the German army in Sicily.

So the Soviet Union also took Britain, but the United States had no choice.

But now, Qin Chuan defended the Gabes defense line and also defended Sicily. Even Greece's defense would add tunnel fortifications.

As a result, almost all the channels of the Allied attacks from the Mediterranean were blocked, so Britain, the United States, especially the British, no longer had any mistakes to open up a second battlefield.

Sometimes, Qin Chuan didn't know whether what he did helped Germany or harmed Germany.

I said I had helped Germany, but I have always been giving advice for Germany.

If you say you have harmed Germany, your own actions will likely accelerate the demise of Germany.

Qin Chuan was right, the failure of the Sicily Battle caused a great shock to the Allies and also affected their next strategy.

The Allied forces' post-war meeting was chaotic, and even officers from Britain and the United States almost started to fight in the conference room.

"The United States should bear the main responsibility for this failure!" De Gangaganyi's fist slammed his head on the desk: "Because it is obvious that the Germans broke through the defense line of the 1st American Infantry Division and completely defeated the division. It is precisely because of this that the weak flanks of the British army were exposed to the enemy's armored and mechanized forces!"

"Oh, is that?" Patton replied angrily, "What about the German main force is Enna? Why don't you flip the battle records? I have been telling you that the German main force is Enna, and in Enna, but no one listens to me! The 1st Infantry Division faces four German divisions with one division's strength, including two armored divisions. What about you? Your four main divisions deal with an infantry division, but now they are laughing at the 1st Infantry Division being defeated by the enemy?!"

"But we are about to hit Messina! We are advancing towards the enemy..."

"Sorry, you are pushing towards the enemy's trap. The reason you can move forward is because the Germans want you to move forward!"

"The fact is that your defeat leads to the defeat of the entire army!"

"So who denied my plan and made this extremely stupid plan?" General Patton angrily slapped the meeting record on the table: "Open it and see what the meeting record says. See how our commander judges the situation on the battlefield. It turns out that everything he said is wrong. The fact is that our commander was fooled by the Germans..."

"Joe!" Eisenhower interrupted Patton's words with an ugly expression.

Compared with Montgomery, Patton is indeed inappropriate. Patton is straightforward and can't suppress the complaints in his heart. Especially when it was clearly a mistake made by the British, they tried to put the blame on the American army... Patton couldn't swallow this tone.

But Montgomery knew that he should remain silent at this time and acted like he was brave enough to take responsibility and bear it. As for arguments and shirking responsibilities, he would naturally have his subordinates to do it.

But to be honest, the United States also had mistakes in this battle: at the last critical moment, Patton and Eisenhower were deceived by Qin Chuan, thinking that the German army would attack the beachheads stationed by the United States with all their might... As the saying goes, care is chaotic, because they are too worried about this and cannot afford the losses in case such a situation occurs, so they can only separate from the British army and only care about themselves.

The result of this was that the British army suffered heavy losses by the German army with all their might.

"We should clearly realize one thing!" Alexander spoke: "There are both wrong in this battle, and both Britain and the United States. There are serious problems such as command and coordination between us, which ultimately led to the failure of this battle..."

Although this is correct, it tastes different from the mouth of a British commander... Idiots know that most of the responsibility lies in the UK. Alexander's words obviously gave the UK the fault, and the US and the United States jointly bear it.

In the conference room, all the American officers were indignant and filled in with fakes, but they had no choice.

"And I know!" Alexander continued: "We can't continue like this. Now is not the time to argue. Do you understand? If we continue like this, we will have the next failure similar to Sicily, and then there will be the next!"
