"The supply at the port of Morocco's Ceuta is indeed a big problem, and there are also landing crafts, transport boats, torpedo aircraft and other weapons and equipment that conduct amphibious operations, which are also a headache!"

"Although I have many landing crafts that can be put into the Port of Ceuta to conduct amphibious landing operations to attack the English Channel!"

"But what I lack most now is amphibious landing combat troops with rich combat experience! Especially the commanding officers who command these landing troops to carry out landing combat!"

While the high-level officers stationed in the English Channel were discussing, Chen Yanlong, who was far away in the Prime Minister's Office in Berlin, frowned deeply and said depressedly.

I'm really careless!

When he asked Rommel to lead the army to attack the port of Ceuta, he forgot these important preparations before landings, but he did not intend to attack the English Channel where the British troops were stationed.

Instead, he planned to invade North Africa and take the oil from Libya for himself, and use air strikes.

As for letting Rommel arrive at Port Hugh, it was just a cover-up, and the killing of British and American troops was caught off guard.

Because the countries in North Africa include Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, etc. Egypt, Libya and Sudan are also called Northeast Africa; Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco are called Northwest Africa.

These countries contain petroleum, phosphate, natural gas, etc., and agricultural products include cotton; gum arabic, crust, olives, figs, dates, etc. Natural resources such as camels.

"Forget it! I will use airborne to deal with the British troops stationed in the English Channel! And all large-scale missiles can also bomb the British troops. Although I do not have a large-scale amphibious landing force with experience in combat, I have advanced weapons and equipment, and also elite airborne troops!"

"I want to enter Libya as soon as possible to get the oil there!"

But after thinking for a while, Chen Yanlong immediately made up his mind to first deal with the English Channel and occupy it.

What's the use of occupying the English Channel?

The United Kingdom is an island country on the Atlantic Ocean, and its area is not as large as Japan.

Because the English Channel is the French that separates Britain from the European continent and connects the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea; it is also a natural maritime barrier for the British Empire, protecting Britain from invasion by the elite German armored divisions and army.

Moreover, at that time, the Great Retreat of Guo Kerk relied on the marine natural barriers of the English Channel to allow the 600,000 British and French forces to successfully complete the evacuation, fleeing the German air raids and the army's pursuit.

In short, the English Channel is a strait that isolates the UK and the European continent, and is also a sea area where Britain connects European land. It is a strategic location for military strategists.

It is also the British army that can transport various military supplies and American aid from the British colonies and the United States through the Atlantic Ocean, and can continuously transport them to the British mainland.

It was with the naval advantages they had accumulated over hundreds of years that Britain made the narrow English Channel a natural barrier to block German land and air attacks, and that the Germans could not cross the sea to attack the British mainland.

Of course, the reason why Hitler did not cross the sea to attack Britain was not only because of the lack of powerful navy and landing troops, but also a large number of landing crafts; the other hand, Hitler did not intend to completely annihilate Britain at that time, and suddenly launched a war against the Soviet Union, which was several times stronger than Germany's land area and population base. Therefore, Germany, which mainly deals with wolves and submarine warfare, could not launch the sea lion plan and British landing operations in such an environment.

However, it does not mean that the English Channel can completely block the German army from crossing the sea to attack the British mainland, because if Germany fully prepares amphibious landing operations and fully understands and prepares for the English Channel and the British local environment and military strength, then it is still possible to have a realistic amphibious landing operation.

Especially if Chen Yanlong now has a powerful naval, land and air force, as well as enough amphibious landing craft, transport ship, and powerful aircraft carrier fleet, it is completely possible to capture the English Channel and even conduct amphibious landing operations on the British mainland.
