But they knew better that the most dangerous thing was that once the English Channel was fully controlled by the German navy, air and army forces; then their rear British land would be directly exposed to the German attack.

Including the capital of England, London, and cities and ports such as Plymouth (also translated as Portsmouth), Southampton, Brighton, Torquay, Bournemouth, Weymouth; Bristol, as well as London, Wells, and other cities and ports will be attacked by the German army at will.

The English Channel where the German army landed on and fought now is the Channel Islands. The island was originally part of the Duke of Normandy. It has been the territory of the King of England since the Norman Dynasty conquered England in 1066. It consists of four major islands - Jersey, Guernsey, Ordeni and Sack, as well as some islands and crisscrossing rocks and reefs, with a total area of ​​194 square kilometers.

The island is close to Normandy in France and is called "Normandy Islands" in French; the main islands in the sea area include the Isle of Wight, the Scile Islands, the Channel Islands, and the Weisan Islands.

"Is our British mainland going to be amphibious landing operations by the German army this time?"

Looking at the silence of the audience, Chief of Staff John murmured to himself indifferently.

But in fact, what he is most worried about now is that the Channel Islands where they are now are not very far away from the British land, but why did Churchill never send his naval and air forces to support him?

Even the parachute troops and submarine troops were not one, which made him puzzled.

If the distance is too far, it is understandable that there is no way to dispatch a large number of troops to aid in a short time, but at such a close distance, it is still slow to go.

This made Chief of Staff John very dissatisfied and angry Churchill.

In fact, what he didn't know was that the fleet that Churchill wanted to dispatch from the local area was delayed by the German army's large number of Iran 400 series submarine groups and new mine formations, and in addition to the air strikes from German aviation troops in Shanghai, as well as guerrilla operations by some fleets.

This led to the Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet, which could have appeared soon, being delayed.

Moreover, the army troops that Churchill wanted to dispatch were lacking a large number of transport aircraft and escort fighter aircraft, so they did not partially land in the Channel Islands for support operations.

It also takes a certain amount of time to dispatch army troops, especially now I don’t know that once the German army has occupied the islands located in the English Channel, they will attack the British city or port.

So in the face of such a complex series of things, Churchill was more worried and irritable than Chief of Staff John.

In particular, a large number of British officers such as Montgomery and Alexander were still preparing for the Italian counterattack in the Algiers area.

A lot of British troops have been dispatched to gather there, which means that there are only a handful of elite troops that can be mobilized in the British mainland!

Although a large number of British people can be mobilized immediately to participate in the local landing defense war, most of the soldiers who were brought to participate in the battle will be recruits and have little practical experience.

"Damn Hitler! Damn German!"

So when Chief of Staff John sighed in disappointment, Churchill even furiously waved his fists and roared in a bad mood at his Prime Minister's residence.

Because he doesn't know how to arrange the local defense forces, and the worst thing is that he doesn't know what the real purpose of the German army this time was to raid the English Channel.

"Hitler! Are you going to attack the land of our empire this time? Or is it just a bluff? Or is there another purpose?"

Churchill was wearing clothes to inspect Portsmouth. He had already prepared the second aircraft carrier fleet, submarine troops, and he also needed to inspect the deployment of mines there in major British ports.

In short, we must do a good job in defensive efforts to prevent the Germans from landing on the British mainland, especially to increase recruitment and form new troops to resist the invasion.

So even though it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, Churchill was still not sleepy at all and was still nervously patrolling the major ports.
