No one dared underestimate a great power with an immensely formidable industrial base, especially when that power faced a crisis of life and death. Such a nation would inevitably unleash extraordinarily fierce fighting strength at the final moment. Even Germany, the strongest nation in the world, had to respond with caution. Otherwise, it would surely pay a grievous price.
"Marshal Raeder's concerns are understandable. However, we have already made thorough preparations. Apart from Army Groups A, B, and C, Army Group D is also standing by. If necessary, they will embark for the United States in the shortest possible time to join the fighting. Those newly formed armies can likewise be sent to fight in the United States. We can even draw more troops from our other puppet states and deploy them to the North American continent once again," Oscar said.
Marshal Raeder nodded. If that was the case, then the German military's preparations were indeed extremely comprehensive. Army Group D had three armies. In addition, twelve armies were standing by at home. Although ten of them were newly formed, the performance of the 25th Army Corps and the 26th Army Corps on the North American continent battlefield showed that they possessed equally formidable combat strength.
Moreover, Germany could still mobilize puppet troops from the continent. Thus, if the German military's campaign on the North American continent did not go smoothly, more reinforcements could be dispatched to land there in time. The United States' war potential, meanwhile, had basically been squeezed dry. Once they suffered losses, replenishing them would not be so easy.
"Field Marshal Manstein, this battle is likewise extremely important to the Empire. Therefore, we need to send a capable man to take command in North America. Who do you think would be suitable?" Oscar asked.
