Chapter 95: The Axis Attack (5)

"First of the People, the Japanese have conquered Christmas Island."

Hoffman nodded: "Master Hori is doing this very well. The US military has no naval power in the Pacific now. If Japan wants to occupy the island, the Americans cannot stop it."

"But the losses of the Joint Fleet were greater than expected, and Tokyo bluntly told us that it had lost 400,000 tons of ships."

"Is it an American submarine?"

"There are not many submarines, with a score of about 30,000 to 40,000 tons, and Japan has also sunk several submarines, mainly caused by US aircraft." Keitel reported, "The Japanese claimed that they shot down more than 1,200 US troops with 4-round heavy bombers (actually 826 were shot down, and another 203 were scrapped after returning), 500 twin-engine medium attack aircraft (actually 391) and at least 300 fighter aircraft (actually 178). A total of more than 2,000 aircraft have suffered heavy losses, which has severely damaged the US Army and Navy. After analysis, Air Force experts believed that it is more credible to get a 70-20% off."

"How much does it take to win the battle in South America?"

"This... may also have to be 20% off." Kettle's old face turned red. A report jointly submitted by Marshall, Rommel and Garland (the commander of the South American theater Air Force) claimed that it would be destroyed in half a month, shooting down 3,500 US aircraft of various types, and the losses were only more than 400. And half of the crew were eventually rescued.

Keitel thought it was very watery, but he was a smart man and knew that there was no need to expose it. The battle was so smooth and fast in South America, which means that the battle was very successful. What's the harm of being a little more exaggerated? In fact, the accuracy of the German army's statistics was a little higher than that of the Japanese army. Japan's 20% off was an accurate number. The German army could basically 10% off. The US army lost 3,064 aircraft in total.

After clarifying the priority of the battlefield in South America, in order to cover the army's operations and protect one of the few skilled crews, Arnold sent a large number of rookies to the front line. Especially in the past week, only 20% of the skilled crews in the front line of the US military pilots, and the remaining 80% are novices who have never been on the battlefield or have only performed limited security patrol missions in the war zone.

Arnold knew that they could not deal with the old German birds, but given that half of the skydiving crew could be rescued, he hoped that they could accumulate experience in the fierce battle. Now, if they did not accumulate experience through actual combat, it would be even more difficult in the future.

German pilots, especially fighter pilots, instantly found the pleasure of making achievements on the Eastern Front, and even fought for the attack mission regardless of fatigue. No one who can serve as fighter pilots and survive to this day is a fool. Everyone knows clearly that with the end of the European war, Germany's war road will soon come to an end. South America and South Africa will be the concentration of the last few major battles. If you don't take advantage of this time to make achievements and achieve military achievements, will you still wait for the hardship after the truce?

Nowadays, military achievements are no longer a cold medal or a reward from superiors, nor are they just military honors and social status. They are linked to oil funds. The higher the military achievements, the more shares they have, the more dividends they will be in the future. Ordinary people do not understand that oil funds are powerful. How can pilots who deal with fuel every day still know how precious and profitable oil is?

The heads that come to the door should not be vain. Anyway, the points in the next plane are accumulated. Who can tell which points are old birds and which points are rookies? Perhaps only a proud super ace like Marseille will only fight fighters and not attack aircraft. But Marseilleille has only one in Germany. Even HNA's number one ace Hartman is trying hard to accumulate results and want to replace his medal with the Diamond Knight Cross Medal? Not to mention that a domestic night fight fighter ace heard that they were going abroad to fight in South America, they just shrunk their heads to Garland to petition the card position and ask for battle. There are many smart people!

Hoffman smiled: "The American Airlines is going to have a problem, and they lose 5,500 aircraft in half a month? Even if they get a 60% discount, they will need more than 300 aircraft. I don't doubt that Americans can produce so many aircraft, but they can train more than 3,000 units in half a month?"

"This is absolutely impossible!" Keitel flatly denied that he had fought with the Russians on the Eastern Front for three years and worked hard to train more than 10,000 units. If he could train 3,000 units in half a month, why wouldn't I double the Air Force? Anyway, we can build 50,000 aircraft in full capacity a year."

Hoffman nodded: "Tell Rommel, eat the Fifth Army first, and the US troops in Recife should not eat it so quickly. We will consume their pilots first, so that if we want to fight the Caribbean next time, it will be much better."

"I really want to fight the Caribbean?" Keitel was stunned. "I thought it would be wise to admit defeat to the South American Americans."

"Why not fight?" Hoffman said, "If you don't fight, do you expect the Americans to hand over Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Honduras, the Bahamas, Granada, Trinidad, Dominican Republic and other territories? The Cairo Declaration will not make Cuba and Puerto Rico realize their own implementation?"

Keitel took a breath. As the war not only pushed to victory, the head of state's appetite grew bigger and bigger. The first thing he said was that the Americans were willing to truce the war, both sides each occupied half of the forces in South America; the current condition was that South America would be dominated by Germany, and Venezuela and Guyana must be dominated by Germany; if the battle continued, the Americans would even separate Central America and the Caribbean from Germany...

Hoffman did not pay attention to Kettle's stunned expression, but instead called Goebbels: "Dr., I need to give a radio speech to North America in two days, and you need to prepare some information for me."

“What kind of information do you need?”

"If the Americans still refuse to surrender, I am determined to fulfill Mr. Zimmerman's promise in the telegram to the Mexican people and help them get back the land occupied by the Americans. We never recognize the legitimacy of the United States' annexation of Mexican territory, including Texas!" Hoffman smiled, "Tell them that since the Americans were going to fight us for this telegram more than 20 years ago, we will accompany us to the end! The London government and the Paris government in this war Central American and Caribbean territories occupied by the United States in this war.

The land must be returned, and the dignity of Europe cannot be violated! At the same time, I will reiterate the protection of Canada and its territorial integrity and not harmed by the US regime. The British people on both sides of the Atlantic recognize that there is only one Britain in the world, Canada and Newfoundland are the indivisible sacred territory of the United Kingdom, and the London government is the only legal government representing Great Britain! The European Union countries and the Axis countries led by Germany have always adhered to the principle of one Britain and opposed any form of two Britain or one British and one Canadian..."

The Zimmerman Telegram was the most sensational news in World War I. At that time, Arthur Zimmerman, the diplomatic secretary of the German Empire, sent an encrypted telegram to the German ambassador to Mexico on January 16, 1917, suggesting to negotiate with Mexico to form a military alliance against the United States, but was intercepted by British intelligence agencies, which later became an excuse for the United States to incite public opinion to declare war on Germany.

Goebbels laughed on the phone: "First of the People's Republic of China, I understand, I understand what you mean."

Keitel asked in confusion: "Listen to your tone, South America, Central America and the Caribbean you are not going to be occupied by Germany."

"No, if this happens, we will be in a direct opposition with the United States. Once we have conflicts with the United States in the future, other European countries will be pleased and even compete with each other. I must bring Britain and France in, and even consider giving Italians some sweetness to achieve shared interests in Europe. On the one hand, we can use these territories to exchange for obedience and cooperation between Britain, France and Italy to the German-dominated European and world order, and on the other hand, we will also tie them to our side." Hoffman smiled, "For example, can I hand over Panama's administrative affairs to the British to control, and send European joint forces in the canal area, and share the remaining economic interests of Europe. As part of the joint forces' military expenditure and EU administrative expenses, are there any British politicians willing to hand over Panama to the United States?"

Seeing Ketel still confused, Hoffman explained another example: "Look, this time the Japanese wanted oil tankers and asked European countries to find solutions. The Japanese originally wanted to break through each one and negotiate separately, but after we intervened, it turned into a package deal between the European group and Japan. Without my approval, the Greeks, Romanians, Turks, Frenchmen, and Spanish could of course sell their oil tankers, but can the price they sold the same as the price dominated by Germany?"

"This time you finally killed Hori Teiki."

"You underestimated Hori Teiki. He is a smart man. This time he was willing to let me kill him. If you don't offer such a price, the Japanese will not be given priority to the four giant-class aircraft carriers. In the future, who will guarantee the supply of tankers, petroleum products, and aircraft? As long as I get a little card, Japan will be tight in the Pacific Ocean. So, the Japanese are much more flexible than you think. Didn't he go to Stalin to buy tankers and succeed?"

Keitel suddenly realized why Japan could get a Giant-class aircraft carrier this time. It turned out that the head of state was pushing it behind it. The purpose must be to waste the Americans and meet the head of state. It would be really unlucky.

"By the same reason, the more countries involved in Central America and the Caribbean, the easier it is to exert the power of Germany and the EU. Britain, France and Italy are isolated and can only be eaten by the United States one by one. Only by uniting under the EU dominated by Germany can their interests be guaranteed! You must remember that if there is World War III, it will not be a national war between Germany and the United States, but an alliance war between the North American and the European Union." Hoffman said confidently, "What I have to do now is to make this North American alliance not form. Who said that Mexico and Canada must go with the Americans? Don't Americans pretentiously like isolationism? This time they can finally understand it deeply..."
