Chapter 228 In Great Britain (End)

The 600,000 losses are not like the German army on the Eastern Front, which is a cumulative casualty, which is a little loss and a little loss and then a little loss and then a little replenishment. 80% of the troops are lost in one go. Even if they are rebuilt, they only have numbers but no souls. This is a devastating blow to combat power.

Although this group of troops only accounts for 10% of the 6 million army forces, they are all troops with certain combat effectiveness in the army. Now, in addition to the nearly 200,000 troops Li Qiwei commanded in Recife, more than 100,000 troops on the front line of Australia and New Zealand, and tens of thousands on the front line of Central America, the country is full of new recruits with excellent equipment, excellent logistics, and good physical fitness, but they have no combat experience.

This is why at every critical moment, the US military can only find a way to protect the officers' retreat first. Washington also knows that this behavior hurts morale, but it has no choice but to be determined if even the officers cannot be saved, who will command these junior brothers? To put it bluntly, not to mention the elite Germans who have fought for five years and experienced many battles, even the American Army of the SS who are currently fighting on the Eastern Front, can now be considered a first-class elite in the United States.

Only the two airborne divisions of Commander Li Qiwei fought with the German army several times in a row, and the scene was not inferior. They were also reorganized, and the opportunity to make up and learn was growing very fast. They were the only troops that could face the enemy head-on with the German army, but there were too few such troops, less than 1% of the 6 million US Army. No matter how high MacArthur was, he could not do anything.

So as soon as General Jin launched his attack, the army was speechless and finally had to wait and drag.

Of course, the Navy did not say anything. The Navy was still ready to compete with the Axis Combined Fleet, but the time was initially scheduled to be held in April 1945. At that time, the Atlantic Fleet could collect about 10 Essex-class aircraft carriers, related warships and supporting pilots. At the same time, Spruins and Turner estimated that the Axis Fleet aircraft carriers in the Atlantic direction should not exceed 7 (currently 5), and the United States has an advantage of about 50%. At the same time, if there is no major change in the Air Force, it can recover to at least 5,000 groups of troops, which will greatly alleviate the pressure.

The unanimous opinion of the Joint Conference was similar to General Jin's consideration: in May 1945, the attack on the German fleet was launched, and the "both losses" battle was fought. After excluding the German reinforcements and maritime advantages, the sufficient army forces were used to siege and fight against some strongholds that they really could not obtain. If the atomic weapons studied by the "Manhattan Project" were initially mature, they would be prepared to test a "final solution" (the US military does not understand the power of the atomic bomb yet.

The United States will only treat it as a special bomb with great lethality), strive to use a refreshing South American counterattack to make Germany realize the power of the United States, and then the two sides will sit down and sign a more decent peace treaty. The United States will try its best to save warships and planes to deal with Japan for 12 years, and strive to push the other side to the front line of Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia. This way, when Dewey's first term ended and was about to seek re-election, the United States can obtain a good strategic pattern and facilitate Dewey to seek re-election.

As for whether Japan can be completely defeated, it depends on the situation of the war and Germany's attitude. In the vision of the Joint Conference, it is impossible to reverse Germany. It is probably a relatively ideal result for both sides to challenge each other across the Atlantic (southern South America acquiesced to the German army retaining the American Republic).

Japan is relatively more fragile and easier to solve. Once the US military gains the upper hand and can resume material assistance to Japan and China, it will strive to arm China and Eastern Russia again and use their continuous power to deal with the Japanese army. The United States only focuses on dealing with the joint fleet.

In the future, Japan may be eliminated or defeated so that it no longer poses a threat. At that time, the United States can take Russia and China to compete with the European Union. It takes 1,020 years to use the United States' huge industrial and economic strength to fight a "soft war" with the European Union. The first-class situation will be favorable to counterattack.

The subsequent "magnificent" idea is too far away for Dewey, but the idea of ​​turning the situation around and restoring rough balance before the end of his first term is still attractive, which is also the reason why he finally pinched his nose and decided to be a turtle with his head shrunk.

Unfortunately, the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny: Hawaii can't hold on for more than a day now. During the day on December 23, the Japanese army completely occupied Lanai Island and Molokai Island. Thousands of US troops stationed on the two islands died or surrendered. Japan thus divided and surrounded the US troops in Oahu and Hawaii Island. Now the US only has three major islands, Lake Wa, Hawaii and Maui. The next target of attack by the Japanese army, which was newly replenished and supplemented by reinforcements and materials, is obviously Maui.

Compared with the precarious defensive situation that may collapse at any time, it is currently more difficult to transport materials to Hawaii. Submarine transport has only been once, but I am afraid it will be too late to become another next time.

According to Turner's suggestion, the US military imitated the Japanese army during the Guadalone era and used high-speed destroyers to dispatch the "San Francisco Express" and "Los Angeles Express". I don't know if it was bad luck or the US Navy's night vision ability was too poor. In short, the eight destroyers participating in the operation were sunk by the Japanese army, and 2 returned without success. Only 3 of them rushed into the target range and successfully transported materials. However, rushing in could only bring comfort and could not solve the fundamental problem.

Now it is covered with sad clouds and mist. It is said that some people are crying and begging the Japanese on the island to tell them to write "welcome" Japanese slogans and other ways of greeting, and even secretly hoarding Japanese flags to show their identity as "good citizens". For this behavior that shakes the morale of the military, Dorit and others do not want to seriously investigate whether it is interesting to blame the civilians? It is a shame for the soldiers to not protect the civilians!

As for organizing guerrilla warfare, he never thought that with Hawaii's area and population, fighting guerrilla warfare is completely seeking death. Of course, Dorit is a hero who bombed Tokyo and will not surrender even if he dies!

On December 24, on Christmas Eve, a greater blow to the US government followed one after another. German Propaganda Minister Goebbels delivered a speech through the Voice of Europe, which caused a stormy shock:

"The German government has called for peace to the US government through various channels more than once, especially after the establishment of the new Dewey government, and has communicated more closely, expressing its willingness to sign a peace treaty with the United States that will not cede land and pay compensation. But how did the US government repay our goodwill?

They used a small group of terrorists they raised and bought through conspirators lurking in Great Britain to launch terrorist attacks during the head of state's visit to the UK. They not only used such unfair means of assassination, but also pointed the finger at the head of state and his wife themselves!

They gathered all the forces they could gather, and used all despicable means such as car bombs, suicide attacks, poisoning, etc. to launch a terrorist attack on the head of state, Buckingham Palace, and the head of state to collapse!

When the first and second assassination conspiracies were exposed one after another, the unrepentant American conspirators gathered nearly 100 terrorists again in the evening of the same day to siege the hospital where British and German soldiers were injured in the first two defense battles, causing hundreds of innocent civilians to be killed or killed.

Recalling the actions of their ulterior motives for the ulterior motive of snatching the Royal Navy warships, kidnapping the British royal family, kidnapping the heads of the British armed forces, and killing Marshal Pound in public fully demonstrate how crazy these unrepentant war criminals are! For such a morally depressed war government, the knightly demeanor and moral persuasion are no longer effective. They can only "for tooth and for blood!" and can only give the most fierce counterattack!

It is impolite to come but not come. On behalf of the German government, I solemnly announce:

From now on, the war will escalate in full swing. The relevant targets in the United States will not distinguish between military and civilians. As long as Germany believes that it is useful for punishing criminals and ending the war, it will be included in the scope of attack and exert the most violent means of retaliation!

From now on, all countries in the Axis will use all attacks on the United States and all weapons of war. No prior warnings or reminders will be given!

From now on, Germany will send 300,000 troops, 4,000 tanks, 5,000 aircraft and 10,000 rockets to the American battlefield to ensure that all the war resources it has are used to fight the US military!

I firmly believe that in this decisive battle that determines the fate of mankind, the German people who have been educated and trained by the state socialism can bear all the truth and price, and will unite more closely around the party with the head of state as the core, and win the war with all their wisdom, strength and blood. In the end, the country will stand tall and the storm will disappear!”

47 Axis allies including Japan, Italy, Britain, France, Russia (Western Russia), Romania, Hungary, Ukraine, etc. sent telegrams of support, condemning the United States and its accomplices' alleged attacks, and ensuring that all their war resources are used to fight against the United States until their final victory; young people from European countries actively signed up to participate in the SS and were willing to use "life and loyalty" to defend the head of state!

Neutral countries such as the Pope, Switzerland, Sweden, etc. expressed condolences to the head of state and called on the United States to abandon such inhumane war and quickly punish the parties involved!

As the news spread, Dewey himself and the members of the Association were as disgusting as if they had swallowed a fly.
