At this time, Chen Yanlong was considering where he could take out the army to form his own new army.

The first thing he thought of was the German anti-aircraft artillery troops. Moreover, in the historical data of later generations, he knew very well that at least 1.2 million soldiers of the German army were dispatched to the ground air defense front in the late war.

Why this happened is because of the outbreak of World War II. Until 1944, Britain and the United States had more than 6,000 aircraft, which were shot down by German anti-aircraft guns, and about 30,000 aircraft were damaged.

Because the German 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns can fire howitzers weighing up to 17 pounds, and these howitzers can be launched to a height of thousands of feet in a few seconds, explode into a large number of debris, bombarding aircraft within 200 meters.

Although the German army would need at least 10,000 88mm shells to shoot down a heavy bomber from British and American troops, even so, air defense artillery has become one of the main air defense methods of the German army and a weapon to effectively shoot down enemy aircraft.

However, when Chen Yanlong came over, the new jets and piston fighters he redeemed with the mobile phone mall system were able to more effectively seize the air supremacy of local and European airspace.

To this end, Chen Yanlong thought about it and decided to withdraw 600,000 soldiers from these air defense units to form his new B Army Group, and another reserve F Army to station in Berlin and carry out guard tasks.

Because the German army's full divisions generally range from 14,000 to 18,000, while an army group has at least 100,000, or even more than 300,000.

Now Chen Yanlong has almost 1 million extra troops on hand, so he can directly form several army groups and invest in different combat areas.

Of course, even so, he is not satisfied yet and still has to continue to loot more troops to serve as reserves in case of any situation.

So he decided to withdraw some German troops overseas, including Norway, Sweden, Yugoslavia, Romania, France, the Baltic Sea and other places.

Moreover, the troops fighting on the front line must find ways to draw more troops from the minion country to assist in the battle.

Of course, if those servants need to send more troops, they must find ways to use new weapons and equipment and sub-occupied areas to conduct cooperation and exchanges, so that these servants can be more obedient and cooperative.

There is no free lunch in the world, so Chen Yanlong must find a way to maintain the cooperative relationship between countries. Just like Eisenhower, he is also working hard to maintain the cooperative combat relationship between allies such as Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and Canada.

While Chen Yanlong was trying his best to plunder the troops, Rommel had already led his seven armored divisions, 13 infantry regiments, 3,000 artillery, 1,200 tanks and assault guns to station at all the passes in the Alps on the German-Italy border and the French-Italy border.

As for the combat orders of leading troops across the border into northern Italy to support the eight German divisions stationed in Marshal Kesselin in southern Italy, we have to wait for Chen Yanlong's orders.

Because Chen Yanlong knew the original history. The British and American troops' attempts to fight in southern Italy were stipulated that the British 8th Army planned to force the crossing of the Messina Strait, seize the landing ground in the Calabriareggio area at the southern end of the Apennine Peninsula, and then use the US 5th Army to carry out landing operations from ships, occupy the landing ground near Salerno, and then carry out opposite attacks from the two landing grounds to capture the entire southern Italy, including Naples.

The attempts of British and American troops in the battle in northern Italy stipulated that the British 8th Army and the 5th Army carried out assaults east and southwest of Bologna, breaking through the German defense, smashing the basic forces of the 10th and 14th Army, and capturing Bologna.

After that, the British and American troops will continue to attack towards the Po River, attacking the Po River area, and force crossing the river, and then advance along the Gulf of Venice with the forces of the British 8th Army until the captured city of Trieste and Yugoslavia. Finally, the main force of the US 5th Army occupied northwestern Italy, as well as the large industrial centers of Milan and Turin, and then dispatched troops to continue to advance northward, occupying places such as the Brenna Pass.

Now Chen Yanlong dispatched Rommel's troops to Italy's border area in advance to station. Not only should he prevent the Italian royal family from joining forces with other forces to drive Mussolini down and imprison him; but he would also wipe out the British and American troops who were conducting the operation of the north and south of Italy.

However, Chen Yanlong's trouble is that the British and American troops have not launched the landing battle of the Sicily Battle in accordance with the original historical time, so he did not know how to mobilize Rommel's troops for a while, so he can only let them stay still and watch the changes.

When Rommel saw that his troops had settled in their respective areas, he took his intelligence officer, Schodobwasser, and his private staff Major Albert Hard Wolflame, as well as General Alfred Gauss and Chief of the Combat Staff.

At this moment, General Alfred Gauss and his wife have not yet had a quarrel with Rommel's wife Lucy, so they have not been removed from office by the couple.

Of course, the new chief of staff, Hans Spidal, who convinced Rommel to rebel, has not been dispatched from the German General Staff.

This man was a famous figure who assassinated Hitler and betrayed Rommel to save his life, and later became the commander-in-chief of NATO.

So Chen Yanlong had already focused on dealing with this person when he heard the Great Purge.

Even Marshal Longdestedt and the Chief of the German Supreme Command, Keitel and others, were very helpless, and Chen Yanlong personally ordered Himmler to deal with it.

"How is the movement of the British and American troops recently? Have you launched the Battle of Sicily as the Head of State said?"

Looking at the green mountains around, Rommel asked eagerly at the intelligence officer Shidowbwasse.

"I haven't received much noise yet! On the contrary, the Soviet army on the Eastern Front is gathering a large number of troops to fight back against Kharkov and other occupied areas on the Eastern Front! And I also received Marshal Model from the officers and friends over there, and Marshal Manstein and others are already retreating!"

Intelligence officer Shidowbwasse replied honestly.

"They are retreating? What's wrong? Didn't they win several big battles on the Eastern Front? Didn't they fight well? Why did they suddenly retreat?"

Upon hearing this, Rommel asked in confusion.

"This is the order of the head of state!"

Intelligence officer Shidowbwasse replied.

"The order of the head of state? How could he issue such an order?"

After listening to it, Rommel was even more puzzled and shocked.

At the same time, his mind was beautiful and suddenly remembered some of the words Chen Yanlong had said to him when he parted with him.

"War is undoubtedly a test of the endurance of both parties involved in the war. When the will and patience of whom are exhausted, success or failure will be determined. Our most important task now is not only to destroy the enemy's live power on a large scale, but also to completely destroy the enemy's combat will."

"Let them be defeated, so no matter what method we need to use, we must continue to fight. For the production of our empire and the happy life of the people, we must continue to fight to the death and never stop until the enemy is completely defeated..."

When Rommel thought of what Chen Yanlong said to him above, he really couldn't believe that he would let the troops on the Eastern Front evacuate for no reason. Did he not know about the bad situation in the Eastern Front?

"How is the battle on the Eastern Front?"

Thinking of this, Rommel asked with concern.

"Apart from the Soviet army gathering on a large scale, no major war has happened yet!"

Intelligence officer Shidowbwasse replied.

"That's good! So what happened to Guderian and he and he heard about the situation in Sicily recently?"

After hearing this, Rommel put down his heart and changed the subject.

"He is still training the troops as usual! No special situation has ever happened!"

Intelligence officer Shidowbwasse continued to answer.

"That's depressed. When can we fight against the British and American forces? I haven't avenged Montgomery yet!"

After saying that, Rommel sighed to the sky in a depressed mood.
Chapter completed!
