Claude stood up and continued, “Just now, I talked about the necessity of helping Britain to defend the English Channel.
Now, let me say it again.
My prediction for the upcoming European war.
However, this time the Allied forces, led by the British and French forces, suffered a crushing defeat in France.
This also surprised me.
The French Army did lose too much to the German Army.
In terms of the army, the German army was inferior in terms of the command level of generals, the quality of soldiers, and weapons and equipment.
They are already the best in the world.
With the troop strength being almost the same, I think no one can defeat the German army on land at this time.
Including us.”
Although Claude's words were not pleasant to hear, no one at the scene, including Roosevelt and others, refuted him.
The German army's previous blitzkrieg in Poland had already amazed the world.
And now, the German army defeated the British and French forces in just two months, and France was on the verge of collapse.
It shocked the world.
The strength of the German Army shocked Roosevelt and other American senior officials.
“But the German navy is not strong.
Next, the German army wanted to cross the English Channel and land on the British mainland.
It is not enough to have a strong army, they must be supported by a strong navy and air force.
Only then can we fight against the powerful British Royal Navy fleet.
Britain's Royal Navy fleet is now definitely the strongest naval fleet in the world.
As long as the German army failed to deal with the British Royal Navy fleet, it was nothing for them to annihilate hundreds of thousands of British troops.
The possibility of German troops landing on the British mainland is still not very high.
Of course, we are preparing in advance to be prepared for a rainy day.
Prevent something like the French Maginot Line from happening.
So, my opinion is to increase support for British fighter planes and artillery.
We will not send troops for the time being, but we must speed up domestic conscription and training.
If the German army shows signs of breaking through the English Channel, we can ensure that we have the ability to send troops to support the British mainland in a timely manner. "
"I'm done."
clap clap!
Roosevelt led the applause, and other senior American officials also stood up and applauded.
“Claude said it very well.
Just do as he says.
Tell Churchill that our conscription training has not been completed yet, so we cannot send troops for the time being.
But he asked for assistance, and I agreed.
From now on, the number of fighter jets and artillery aid to them every month will be doubled.
Tell all the major military factories in the country to start up all the machines.”
Roosevelt's decision soon spread to Britain.
When Fatty Qiu learned that the United States was temporarily unwilling to send troops, he cursed the Americans in his heart.
How could a person like Fatty Qiu not see that the Americans were up to no good?
But there's nothing we can do about it.
This is an open conspiracy by the Americans, and there is no solution.
Between being betrayed by the Americans and being conquered by Germany and completely destroying the country.
Fatty Qiu knew how to choose.
Fortunately, in a later telegram, Roosevelt said that the number of fighter planes and artillery supporting them would be doubled.
Finally, Fatty Qiu looked better.
"Send a message to the navy and air force. The next task of defending the English Channel will be handed over to them."
Time passed quickly and it was late June when France officially surrendered.
“The French surrendered.
I don’t know if this fattened up little mustache can make it to the British Isles.
If we can get in, it will be a lot of fun.”
Ye Qingshan looked at the new information sent by Ning Yongchen and smiled to himself.
According to later speculation, there were many reasons why the German army failed to capture the British Isles in history.
Among them, strength is the main reason.
In the final analysis, the German naval strength was too weak compared to that of the British, which prevented the German army from carrying out sea landing operations.
The only way is to find another way, use the air force as the main force and seize air superiority.
Find a way to log in again.
According to the memoirs of later generations, Fatty Qiu and others.
Historically, the Germans almost succeeded in the air battle, but something went wrong among the Germans, which gave the British Air Force a break.
The Germans ultimately failed.
Only Ye Qingshan, a person from later generations, knows these things.
However, now that Ye Qingshan has made two moves, the flapping of his wings has already caused a considerable impact on the European battlefield.
Ye Qingshan wanted to see the German army’s strengthened strength and the British army’s weakened strength in this time and space.
Will there be different results?
Ye Qingshan has been quite free during this period.
In addition to the battle near Changsha, the National Army and the Japanese were also engaged in a larger-scale battle.
Other war zones are basically calm.
Small-scale fighting also broke out.
The national army was accumulating strength and replacing weapons and equipment sent from the Americans in preparation for the subsequent counterattack.
The same thing happened to the Japanese. They were digesting the occupied areas and consolidating their own territory.
When things are quiet in the Chinese war zone.
On the contrary, the confrontations between the Allied forces in the Southeast Asian and Pacific theaters and the Japanese became increasingly fierce.

At the end of June, Ye Qingshan received a telegram from Zhou Pingkou from Myanmar.
"Commander, Commander Zhou said in the telegram.
The more than 60,000 local indigenous people you asked them to recruit have now all been recruited.
Training is being carried out in batches.”
The young martial artist stood behind Ye Qingshan and read the contents of the telegram.
"anything else?"
"It is also said that the Japanese 25th Army has also transferred a large number of Japanese soldiers from the country.
At present, the strength of the Japanese 25th Army has expanded from 50,000 to 60,000 at the beginning to more than 100,000.
As the Japanese 25th Army was replenished with troops.
They have already begun to make moves and have fought with our defenders in Toungoo and Pegu many times in an attempt to counterattack.
Now, all four armies of our expeditionary force have set off for the front line.
Only the new recruits were still being trained in the rear.
The British also sent 300,000 new soldiers into Burma, but they are still in training and have not been put into battle.
“It seems like the devils still refuse to give up.
They still don't want to give up Myanmar. After all, Myanmar's geographical location is indeed important.
However, as long as Stilwell commands properly.
With the strength of the Allied forces in Burma at this time, it is impossible for the Japanese to turn the tables."
"By the way, how are the British recovering at the Yenangyaung Oilfield?
When will oil be produced?
Ye Qingshan is more concerned about the Yenangyaung oil field.
Their refinery in Lashio is also under construction overtime.
“Well, Commander Zhou said that the Yenangyaung oil field has been mostly restored.
Two oil wells have started producing oil again.
It is estimated that it will take another two to three months for all other oil wells to recover.”
“The British were quite efficient this time.
It seems that the British want to resume oil production in the Yenangyaung oil field as soon as possible more than we do!
Call the 86th Army back and ask the workers responsible for the construction of the Lashio refinery to speed up the construction progress.
The Yenangyaung oil field is already producing oil.
Our supporting refinery cannot be delayed."
Ye Qingshan instructed.
