November 24, London, Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force.

A high-level military meeting is taking place, and the generals participating in the meeting are:

Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, Ted, Supreme Deputy Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, and Smith, Chief of Staff of the General Command;

Spaatz, commander of the U.S. Air Force Strategic European Command, and Harris, commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force's bomber force;

Ramsay, commander-in-chief of the Allied Expeditionary Force Navy, Commander-in-Chief Air Force Mallory of the Allied Expeditionary Force, and Commander-in-Chief Montgomery of the 21st Army Group.

These people are basically the highest command level of the Allied forces on the Western Front.

The strategic bombing campaign against the Third Reich and its occupying powers that began in early November achieved impressive results.

Judging from the intelligence department's reports, the Third Reich's industrial production and the mobilization of materials and soldiers suffered a sharp decline due to the impact of strategic bombing.

The production of steel, tanks and aircraft has been reduced by at least 30%.

The Allied forces on the Western Front are also earnestly fulfilling their commitments at the Baghdad Conference. They have a complete operational plan for landing in Western Europe, which they reported to Washington and obtained the latter's consent.

The work of opening up the second battlefield is in full swing, and the pre-war preparations for a million-strong army are becoming increasingly complete.

The First and Second Expeditionary Fleets of Zhongxia rushed to Great Britain from Djibouti and have officially joined the Allied forces' combat sequence on the Western Front.

This meeting is mainly to report on the preparations of each army and determine the final landing plan.

General Smith, Chief of Staff of the Headquarters, said:

"Based on factors such as geography, humanities, our army's preparations, and the enemy's defensive strength, we believe that the previously finalized operational plan for landing in Normandy is feasible!"

"All ministries should immediately launch relevant deductions and drills with the theme of the Normandy landing."

"The landing time is tentatively scheduled for mid-February next year!"

Eisenhower, Montgomery and others nodded slightly. This was a plan that had been decided a long time ago. Because they were not reassured, the General Staff made a new argument.

Smith continued:

"Each force has its own combat direction and combat missions. The two fleets that have not yet been determined are mainly Zhongxia's two fleets. What do you think?"

After hearing this, many people's eyes narrowed involuntarily, showing a state of vigilance.

Zhongxia has become the protagonist of the Eastern battlefield, and now it has reached out to Western Europe. The senior generals present were a little worried.

This was a blatant act of global expansion, but the imperialist countries suffered heavy losses in this war, especially their overseas colonies, which were basically destroyed, so they were unable to stop it.

After a moment of silence, Montgomery said:

"The First and Second Expeditionary Fleets of the Zhongxia people have two brand new super aircraft carriers, which seem to be called Qin Jin and Bashu."

When talking about the words Qin, Jin and Bashu, Montgomery's pronunciation was very strange, and he himself felt very awkward.

But everyone around me understood.

Montgomery stuck out his tongue and continued:

"Except for the two super aircraft carriers, the most eye-catching thing in the Zhongxia fleet is naturally the two so-called amphibious assault ships."

"There are also enviable missile destroyers, frigates and cruisers."

Ramsay, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Naval Expeditionary Force, added silently in his mind:

‘There are also armed helicopters, the most advanced second-generation carrier-based aircraft.



Everyone looked at Montgomery and seemed to understand what he meant.

Although the two Zhongxia fleets that arrived on the island of Great Britain were nominally expeditionary fleets, their strength was comparable to that of the entire Royal Navy.

It would be too wasteful to leave such a powerful maritime force unused.

Montgomery glanced at Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, and said:

"I think it is necessary to include the Zhongxia Navy and even allow them to serve as the vanguard of the maritime fleet at critical times."

After Montgomery finished speaking, the conference room fell into silence again. Everyone showed thoughtful expressions, but it could be seen that a large number of people did not agree with including the Zhongxia Navy in the main attack sequence.

In this world war, Zhongxia has already stolen the limelight. If they are allowed to succeed in the military operation to open up the second battlefield, they will probably consider themselves the liberators of the world.

What is threatened is not only interests, but also some indescribable aspects.

Eisenhower had an insight into people's hearts. He frowned slightly and said:

"Zhongxia's navy is indeed very powerful, and it is a force that cannot be ignored."

"However, I think that the most critical forces do not necessarily have to be arranged in the main attack sequence. Perhaps they can play a greater role in other directions, which is more beneficial to the success of the battle."

"Like our General Patton!"

Everyone suddenly became enlightened and exclaimed in their hearts that it was wonderful.

The landing site has been determined to be Normandy, but the actual situation cannot be known to the Third Reich, and some signals must be actively released to cause the enemy to misjudge.

A deception plan came into being.

And General Patton was the protagonist of the deception plan.

The deception plan is one of several key factors for a successful landing. Putting the troops in this plan cannot be said to be a lack of attention and distrust.

Ramchi clapped his hands involuntarily and said:

"If Rommel knew that the two super aircraft carriers in Zhongxia were under the command of General Patton, then he would definitely misjudge and not know our true landing point."

"After all, there are two super aircraft carrier battle groups, hundreds of advanced carrier-based aircraft, and dozens of missile ships."

"Even if he is the famous general Rommel, he will be confused when he looks like this."

The depressing atmosphere was swept away, and smiles filled everyone's faces again.

This arrangement resulted in two gains, and everyone admired Eisenhower very much.

After smiling, it was still Ramchi who said:

"But the two fleet commanders in Zhongxia must be assigned a position in the Allied command system."

Chief of Staff Smith nodded and said:

"Well, firstly, it shows the importance to the people of Zhongxia, and secondly, it increases the authenticity of the deception plan."

He pondered for a while,

"How about appointing one of them as the deputy commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force Navy."

No one had any other ideas, Eisenhower agreed, and the matter was settled.

The meeting continued, and the next main discussion was to increase the intensity of strategic bombing and improve the deception plan and combat plan.

In mid-summer, the 1st and 2nd Expeditionary Fleets were stationed at Plymouth along with other Allied naval fleets.

This is an important military port on the island of Great Britain, where the main fleet is located.

When the Third Reich invaded, Plymouth Harbor was severely damaged.

The new port of Plymouth was rebuilt with help from the United States.

The Allied forces deployed a large number of air and sea radars around Plymouth Harbor, as well as stationed Royal Air Force advanced fighter squadrons.

Ensure the absolute safety of Plymouth Harbor.

After the First and Second Expeditionary Fleets entered Plymouth Harbor, Allied naval officers would find various reasons to visit the warships from time to time.

In name, it is a visit, but in reality it is for investigation and intelligence.

Today, only the Zhongxia people have mastered the technology of missile miniaturization and can directly create guided missile destroyers.

At the same time, only Zhongxia's aircraft carrier is equipped with second-generation jet carrier-based aircraft.

These technologies are all coveted by the Allied forces, and perhaps a second glance can provide new research ideas to the scientific researchers at the rear.

Therefore, there is an endless stream of naval officers coming to visit and visit.

The First and Second Expeditionary Fleets were open to this and showed a selfless appearance. There were even dedicated people leading allied naval officers to visit the warships.

Of course, these people cannot see the core technology. At most, they can only take a quick look at it.

When anchored in Plymouth Port, Xiong Yuanchun, commander of the First Expeditionary Fleet, and Mao Shangqing, commander of the Second Expeditionary Fleet, gave the soldiers holidays in batches.

Allowing naval officers and soldiers on expeditions to temporarily leave their warships and go ashore to experience the customs and customs of Great Britain.

But the scope is limited to Plymouth, and the maximum vacation is only two days.
