"How many divisions are there in the Italian and French troops now? Do you know?"

Lundsteady looked at the happy Kluge and Chief of Staff Gint Blumentrit and suddenly asked.

"It seems to be 60 divisions, but if Rommel's troops back to France are added together, it will probably have more than 60 divisions of troops!"

Before Cluge and Chief of Staff Gint Blumentrit and the others answered, General Vallimont, who was beside him, replied first.

"60 divisions, even more troops?"

"Where did the head of state send so many troops to Italy and France?"

After hearing the powerful troops beyond his expectations, Lundstedt, who was still alive just now, was slightly stunned and said in surprise.

"Because the head of state commander General Edward Dieter, hundreds of thousands of troops, and most of the stationed troops in all overseas occupied areas, as well as where to draw a large number of recruits from the reserves to supplement the Italian defense campaign!"

"That's why there are 2 so many troops, and if the Italian surrendered troops are counted together with the troops of other vassal countries, there will be more troops!"

General Vallimont explained.

"Well! Are the remnants of Italy and the troops of those servants all sent by the heads of state to the Eastern Front to fight against the Soviet army? So there are these troops here on the Western Front?"

After hearing this, Lundstedt was stunned again and said in surprise.

"The head of state only dispatched most of the Italian remnants and the vassal forces to the Eastern Front. However, in the Italian battle where Marshal Kesselin personally commanded the battle, there were still a small number of the vassal forces and the Italian troops assisting in the battle!"

"And even some elite SS troops were dispatched here to conduct assault operations, and caught the British and American Allies off guard!"

General Vallimont smiled happily.

"Hey! No wonder Kesseling didn't look panicked or nervous when facing the invasion of the British and American troops!"

"So that's the case! The Head of State seems to attach great importance to the battle in Italy!"

"There will actually be a transfer of so many troops from each front to Keselin to command the operation and conduct counterattack!"

After hearing this, Lundstedt said a little enviously.

Because Chen Yanlong attached so much importance to Keselin, he remembered that when he was in charge of the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, he had not yet obtained so many troops and new weapons and equipment support!

Therefore, the grapes that cannot be eaten are sour. As a high-level German officer, Lundstedt also has such envy and jealousy.

"What's wrong with Lundstedt? Are you jealous of Kesseling being valued and valued by the Head of State?"

Seeing Lundstedt's subtle changing expression, Klug said with a sarcastic smile.

"So what? So what if not?"

"Are you much better than me?"

Lundstedt retorted at Klug's provocative and sarcastic words.

"you......"

Klug said in a silence after being attacked by Lundstedt.

"Okay! I'm not here today to have these meaningless arguments with you. Let's discuss the head of state who gave us a phone call late last night and said we wanted us to find a way to assist Keselin's Italian troops, plus Rommel's troops, from the southern border of Italy to the northern border of our empire!"

Lundstedt sneered at Klug who was angry with him.

"I feel that the head of state's proposal cannot be completed, because the coastline we are about to defend is at least 3,000 miles. With Keseling assisting the troops of more than 60 divisions that can be commanded, it is simply too weak to achieve it!"

"Even if Kesseling's reserve forces are counted together, it is necessary to defend more than 3,000 miles of coastline, which means that every imperial division must defend against 60 miles of defense. Such a difficult task is simply impossible to complete!"

"Because, based on the line that a division in our empire can defend at most, that is, each division can be about 6 to 8 miles at most!"

"If we still have to face the battle between the sea and air supremacy of the British and American troops, we may only be able to defend the defense line within 4 miles. Otherwise, the battle between our divisions will definitely have huge gaps in weak forces, allowing the British and American troops to take advantage of the opportunity to break through all our defense lines, thus making our troops more dispersed, and a huge disadvantage will appear, and even defeat our troops!"

Klug immediately came to his senses and responded seriously to Lundstedt's words suddenly back to the point.

"Then what are our heads now thinking about it? The Battle of Casino in Italy, the Battle of Gustav and Sicily are not over yet, and they are still fighting fiercely! But he suddenly gave us these nonsensical new combat plans and asked us to publicize it extensively, so that the whole world would know the military operations we are about to carry out!"

"I really don't know what he wants to do with his stupid plan!"

Lundstedt complained in confusion about this.

"I think the purpose of the head of state doing this may be to distract the attention of the British, American and Soviet troops, especially the intelligence gathering work of the spies lurking around us!"

Before Cluge could reply, General Vallimont suddenly interrupted.

"I think so too! Otherwise, the strategies that the head of state, who is still relatively smart, shouldn't have such bad strategic and tactical orders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief of Staff Gint Blumentrit, who had been watching the changes, immediately nodded in agreement.
