    When Qin Wei told Mountbatten the term "Ardennes", Mountbatten was actually not that anxious.  Because the German forces were divided into three parts, the German right wing, that is, General Bock's troops from the Netherlands and Belgium borders to Aachen, planned to break through the Dutch border defense line and occupy the entire Netherlands and northern Belgium.  Then move towards France.  The attacks along this route were very violent and rapid. Many fortresses that were thought to be able to hold for several months fell in one day. The British and French were panicked and judged that the main force of Germany was on the right wing, so they sent most of their troops to the right wing.  Mend the basket.  This was what Mountbatten had learned about the situation before.  But Qin Wei told Curley that the German armored group would cross the Ardennes.  This is what really scares Mountbatten.  Although he came from the navy and was not familiar with land offensive and defensive warfare, he knew very well where the weaknesses of the Maginot Line were.  The Ardennes are located at the end of the Maginot Line and are mountainous, so they are not suitable for armored forces to fight This is the most common sense.  But he discovered the word Qin Wei said: "cross over"!  If the armored cluster just wants to cross that mountainous area, isn't it possible?  Not to mention that the quality of the German army exceeds that of all European armies, but also with the ability of the British engineers, it is not difficult to open a road in the Ardennes that armored troops can pass through.  What's more, the armored forces themselves have strong cross-country capabilities. The mountains are just not suitable for them to fight, but they are not impossible for them to pass.  So, Mountbatten hurriedly sent the news to London.  He only hopes that this is his own delusion, and of course Qin Wei's delusion The Germans' rigidity should not let them think of this plan.  But even Mountbatten himself did not dare to have any confidence in this fantasy.  If the Germans cannot think of this plan, the Chinese should not even think of it.  ¡­ Time seems to have become extremely long.  After the debate with Curley about the need to retaliate against Qin Wei ended, Mountbatten felt that he had been waiting for a long, long time.  But there is still no news from London.  This kind of waiting made him extremely anxious, and made the fantasy in his heart become more and more solid.  But he didn't know that it was May 14th when Qin Wei told him the news.  It was on this day that the first echelon of German tank divisions and motorized divisions passed through the Ardennes, forcibly crossed the Meuse River in the Sedan area at the junction of the French Second and Ninth Group Armies, and severely damaged the British and French allies.  After that, the German army would occupy Sedan, advance westward at a speed of 20 to 40 kilometers per day and night, and occupy Abbeville on May 20.  On May 21, the German rapid forces will reach the English Channel.  Divide the strategic front of the British and French coalition forces, and use the Netherlands and Belgium as air force and submarine bases to block the Pas de Calais and prevent British reinforcements.  At this point, about 40 divisions of the British and French coalition forces will be surrounded in the Dunkirk area on the border between Belgium and France.  May 23rd.  Boulogne would fall to the Germans, and Calais would be captured on the 27th.  The British and French Allied forces will be surrounded by German troops on the seaside.  No matter how fast his telegram is transmitted.  It was simply too late.  ¡­ ¡°He insisted on waiting for news from London.¡± Curley went back alone to find Qin Wei. At this time, Qin Wei had already begun to pack his bags Two hours had passed, and Mountbatten refused to come to ¡°see¡± Qin Wei.  "He doesn't believe what I said?" Qin Wei didn't feel surprised. Looking at Ke Li's sweating profusely, he just smiled.  "He believed it, but there was still a trace of luck" Ke Li stared at Qin Wei closely.  "Actually, I am the same. And we all don't understand, how did you know that the Germans would pass through the Ardennes?" "Curley, do you know about the 'Schlieffen Plan'?" Qin Weixiao asked.  "Schlieffen? Are you talking about Alfred von Schlieffen? The German Marshal before World War I?" Curley asked.  "That's right." Qin Wei nodded, "Everyone who has studied World War I knows that Moltke's change of Schlieffen's genius plan was one of the reasons for Germany's defeat in World War I. Some even claim that if Moltke hadn't done so without authorization,  If the Schlieffen Plan was changed, France might have been captured by Germany not long after the start of World War I. Now, facing the impregnable Maginot Line, what else could the Germans do except attack at its weak points?  Attacking the fictitious with the real, making false claims to the east and attacking the west This kind of tactical and even strategic deception has been used very skillfully by some people thousands of years ago. The Germans have already reached the pinnacle of research on the art of war. How could they not know? " "You mean?  Is this just your guess?" Corley asked in astonishment.  "Yes, it's just a guess!" Qin Wei smiled, like a military master, "In fact, it's also a kind of gambling! I'm betting on the fate of the French!" "I don'tGot your point.  Curley said, "Even if the Maginot Line will be captured by the Germans, the French still have millions of troops!"  They can definitely hold on.  Just like during World War I, they can drag the Germans into the quagmire of war!  "    "Yeah?  Qin Wei smiled and said, "Then do you dare to make a bet with me?"  " "Betting?  " "Yes," Qin Wei nodded, "Let's make a bet. I bet that the French will surrender this time, to the Germans!  And this surrender will not last longtwo months!  what do you think?  The bet is 10% of the copper mine shares!  "    "This is impossible!  Corley shook his head repeatedly, "That's France."  Even though they are not as good as Germany, their army is still one of the most powerful armies in the world.  Two months?  God?  Do you think France is Poland?  " "The Germans conquered Poland in 27 days, defeated Denmark in 4 hours, and conquered Norway in 23 days I bet that two months have already made me think highly of France!  I even suspect that they may not be able to last even a month and a half.  "Qin Wei laughed. "I'll bet with you!  "Corley was quite confident in himself at first, but after hearing these words, he felt a little unsure Can the French really be so useless? Only last a few days longer than the Poles? He doesn't  Knowing whether he should agree to this gambling request, Qin Wei's gambling money was tempting enough, but he also remembered that since he knew Qin Wei, this guy had never lost in anything similar. If he lost, he would.  He was really just a wage earner from Qin Wei. But at this moment, the sound of loud footsteps interrupted his hesitation, and Mountbatten in a navy uniform strode in. "It's not that you don't intend to.  Came here?  "Kelly glanced at this man dissatisfied. "I just came to make a bet.  "Mountbatten ignored Curley and just stared at Qin Wei with a gloomy face. "The tutors of the British royal family are indeed well-deserved.  "Qin Wei shrugged, "You can bet if you want.  But I gave out 10% of the Letpadaung Copper Mine shares, what else can you give me?  " "Aren't you going to negotiate with me about investment in India?  I am the Governor-General of India, can" "Sorry!  I don't plan to talk about this matter anymore.  Qin Wei smiled, "Because you are late!"  Your Majesty the Governor!  " "You don't dare to bet with me?  "Mountbatten asked. "Are you stimulated, sir?  Qin Wei looked at the other party with a smile: "You were scolded by London?"  Or was he simply dismissed?  " "General, are you delusional?  I am the Viceroy of India.  And the rank of Commodore, when have you ever heard of someone like me being dismissed so easily?  "Mountbatten snorted coldly. "A guy who doesn't even understand the most basic courtesy, or a commodore of the Royal Navy?  Even the Japanese are more polite than you.  Qin Wei made a sound and looked at Mountbatten seriously: "Mr. Brigadier General, do you know what the principle of military rank treatment is?"  " "You" Mountbatten was suffocated upon hearing this. Why did he delay meeting Qin Wei? Isn't it just because of Dorman's words "Do you want to salute Qin Wei?" He is a descendant of the British royal family. Again  The always arrogant British Royal Navy general was unwilling to express his respect to a Chinese general, but now Qin Wei actually made this request again. What should he do if he refuses?  Could it be that he doesn¡¯t even have any tutoring? ¡°I know you¡¯re not happy.  You don¡¯t have to salute either.  Qin Wei smiled and said, "I don't think anyone will say you are arrogant or anything like this even if word spreads about it."  Because you are British and I am Chinese The gap between countries has caused this phenomenon.  But I have to tell you, if you don't salute me, I won't make this bet with you This opportunity is rare.  Whether the French are really as incompetent as I think they are depends on your choice.  Mr. Governor!  " "If I don't make this bet with you, will someone say that I also think France will surrender in less than two months?  "Mountbatten asked coldly. "Maybe.  "Qin Wei laughed. "Is this another trick?  "Mountbatten asked bitterly. "That's right.  Ever since you walked through this door, you have actually fallen into the trap.  Qin Wei did not deny it, "But now the problem is.  What choices will you make.  " "Of course I believe in my allies.  "Mountbatten said. "Do you think France can survive two months?  "Qin Wei asked. "France will continue to fight the Germans!  Until the final victory!  "Mountbatten said word by word. "Your statement is so interesting.  Because even if there is only one Frenchman left, as long as he declares that he will not surrender, the British government will still think that he is the bestLegitimate representative of France!  Unless the British Isles are also captured by the Germans.  "Qin Wei shook his head and smiled. "Then what do you want?  "Mountbatten asked. "I thinkif the French government that occupies most of France's European territory surrenders, it means that France has been defeated!  how?  "Qin Wei asked. "Okay.  "Mountbatten didn't think about it and nodded directly in agreement. "My gambling capital is 10% of the shares of the Letpadaun Copper Mine. What about you, General?  "Qin Wei asked. "I don't have that much money.  "Mountbatten said. "I don't lack your money either.  Qin Wei thought for a while: "I think so."  If I win, you, Louis Mountbatten, will not be allowed to come within a hundred kilometers of me from now on!  If you violate it, I can beat you, but you must not resist!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
