United States, Washington, White House.
Inside President Roosevelt's office, a group of senior US government and military officials had gathered.
"Gentlemen, what you hold in your hands is the War Game I ordered the Army Staff Department and the Navy Operations Department to conduct regarding the military strength of Germany and Russia. The final result is that Buru probably will not be able to hold out for long. Once Buru falls, the consequences will be extremely severe. Therefore, I'm afraid our original plan must be changed!" President Roosevelt said solemnly to the officials.
"Mr. President, it is truly hard to believe. Such a vast country as Buru can only hold out for a year and a half? Have the Germans really become this powerful?" Secretary of State Hull was full of shock.
Even before the war broke out, they had anticipated that Germany would be extremely formidable. Germany had already been powerful during the last World War. Otherwise, they could not possibly have won the World War. But after more than twenty years of development, Germany had evidently become even stronger. So strong that even if several other great powers joined forces, they would likely find it difficult to defeat Germany. This undoubtedly placed immense pressure on these senior American officials.
"Mr. Secretary of State, this is the result obtained from our War Game based on precise data. The troop strength, weapons and equipment Germany has committed to the battlefield, as well as its tactics and morale, all far surpass those of Buru. In addition, they have deployed large numbers of Puppet Troops, leaving Buru completely at a disadvantage in this war, with no advantage left to speak of. Therefore, under the German military's lightning-like offensive, it is only understandable that Buru has suffered devastating losses and been beaten back
