Chapter 87 Return to the Eagle's Nest
The process of persuading the top allied forces went smoothly beyond Josie's expectations.

To be precise, the proposal made by the Bavarian-Austrian group represented by Ophelia just scratched the itch of the high-level Allied forces.

It's just that compared to Ophelia's original proposal to attack the Alpine defense line with the Italian Allies, the Allied generals changed the combat plan after discussion.

According to the original plan of the Allied Forces, it was going to attack all the way north, through Belgium and the Netherlands, and invade the German mainland, just like Germany defeated France.

Because there are the fewest obstacles on this front.

On the east side of the Alsace-Lorraine line, the Maginot Line built by the French back then has also become a difficult bone in the hands of the Germans. In addition to Germany's original Siegfried Line of Defense, the entire The zone has completely become a line of defense.

So neither the U.S. Army nor the British Army wants to touch this brow with their own soldiers.

For this reason, the U.S. and British troops did not even want to fight Paris in the east.

In the original time and space, Paris was where General Charles de Gaulle led his own army and joined forces with the French resistance to force-land the German defenders in Paris. The British and American troops did not participate.

But if Austria and Bavaria revolt, then the situation is completely different.

Because half of the border between Germany and France belongs to the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Behind Baden-Württemberg is Bavaria.

And most of them are wrapped in Bavaria.

Once Fabalia's rebels go straight into Baden-Wurttemberg from behind and the Allies attack from the front, they can easily break through the Maginot Line and the Siegfried Line.

At that time, the Allied forces can use France as the rear, attack the mustache in the north, and reject Hydra in the east.

Far more than what Ophelia mentioned before, it makes sense to capture the Alpine defense line with the Italian Allies.

And this offensive line was especially approved by Montgomery, the British commander-in-chief, and Charles de Gaulle, the French commander-in-chief who were also present.

Because this offensive route can not only attack Paris along the way, but also attack the German mainland faster.

Eisenhower, who was the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, could not think of any reason to refuse.

Of course, Ophelia also raised a little objection to this.

That is, the number of Austrian and Bavarian legions they instigated is limited, only about 60 people. If they only attack the Alpine defense line, it is enough because the distance is short.

But if they want to fight Baden-Wurttemberg, the front line will be longer, and their strength alone may not be enough.

Regarding this point, the Allied Forces also gave countermeasures.

That's Airborne!
Before Ophelia and Josie appeared, the Allied Army Headquarters was actually planning a large-scale airborne operation in the original history—Operation Market Garden.

That is to send a large-scale airborne force into the Netherlands, snatch many bridges on the Rhine River, so as to seize the road to enter Germany, and the follow-up armored forces will rush forward as quickly as possible, enter Germany together, and end the war as soon as possible.

But this airborne operation was a failure.

A few years ago, the mustache who defeated France from this route, how could he not know the importance of this area?
Therefore, the German troops along the line were ordered to try their best to block the Allied armored forces. In the end, without support, the airborne troops suffered heavy losses.

But now, Montgomery, who originally planned the airborne operation, turned his attention to the Western Front.

And quickly put forward a preliminary plan.

That is to capture Paris as soon as possible, hide the main force after consolidating the western front, and launch a fierce offensive on the northern front at the same time, making the illusion of preparing to attack from the northern front to attract the attention of the German army.

When Austria and Bavaria worked together, they immediately dispatched air forces to bombard the Western Front, and then dispatched all airborne forces to seize strategic locations in the Baden-Württemberg area, creating favorable conditions for the Baden-Austrian Army to advance.

At the same time, the Allies launched a fierce attack from the front.

Be sure to take down this front and complete the siege of Mustache before he reacts.

At the same time, it is also necessary to say hello to Mao Xiong, so that they can maintain their offensive against the Hydra Legion during this period of time, in case Schmidt rushes to help.

In the end, General Montgomery named this plan Return to the Eagle's Nest - because just at the foothills of the Alps on the border between Bavaria and Austria, there is a hilltop villa specially built for the mustache, called the Eagle's Nest.

Mustache likes that villa very much, but since it was built in 1939, he has only been there about 10 times, and the time spent each time basically does not exceed 10 minutes.

The reason is very nonsense and very practical, that is, the mustache is afraid of heights...

This preliminary battle plan was quickly recorded and sent to the United States and London by telegram respectively.

Because apart from de Gaulle who was on the scene, it was Roosevelt and Churchill who could really finalize the plan.

However, although the real decision has not yet been made, it does not prevent the Allied forces from starting to make various preparations.

And Ophelia, as a contact person, must also return to Austria to report the situation as soon as possible-the one who can really make the decision is the future Austrian founding father, Karl Renner, and a group of Hydra generals.

"Can't this thing be taken off?" Ophelia asked Josie with a dark face before leaving.

"What are you in a hurry for? Things haven't been fully settled yet. We are only potential allies. When things really start, no matter whether the battle is successful or not, you have proved your loyalty to the allies, and I will naturally help you Take it down!" Josie said with a smile, tear it down?It is impossible to disassemble it in this life, so you can work hard for me!
Ophelia was helpless, she could only think about going back to see if her group of scientists could do anything.

"By the way, when you go back this time, remember to ask your people to bring Aldo back to me!" Josie added.

"I see!" Ophelia gave Josie a hard look, and then boarded the bomber.

During this period of time, the Allied forces bombed important strategic targets in the rear of the German army and Hydra every day, so as long as she took a chance, she could bring the encrypted radio station prepared by the Allied forces and directly parachute to Bavaria without having to Take risks and walk slowly through the long war zone.

As a super spy not weaker than Black Widow, parachute jumping is not too difficult for Ophelia.

And as long as she brought the radio back, the rebels could use this encrypted radio to directly contact the Allied High Command.

After Ophelia left, Josie was free in an instant.

On the battle plan side, Josie has a good relationship with the military, but he is not a soldier after all, so he can't get involved.

Do business?Don't make trouble, although the Allied forces captured several cities in the war zone, they were all reduced to ruins. The rich French people ran away as much as they could, and the rest were basically bombed into abject poverty.

Josie is almost doing charity at this time, and still wants to make money?

Ever since, Josie suddenly found that he couldn't seem to find anything to do.

How about... go back to London?
