"Marshal Manstein, the most important task of the empire in 1940 is to defeat Bu Russia and defeat them completely. However, this does not mean that the empire will not care about other battlefields. On the Pacific battlefield, the empire and the island countries have already started a war. Although the island countries have a home field advantage in the Pacific battlefield. But we deploy The troops in the Pacific also seem to be performing very well. Although we cannot send the main force to the Pacific in a short period of time, we must maintain the battle in the Pacific. After we win in Europe and other battlefields, we will increase our troops in the Pacific and defeat the islanders in one fell swoop!
"Yes, Your Majesty. I have been following Pacific Theater. Island Nation Navy is on Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet's men did not take advantage, but suffered heavy losses. Similarly, on the battlefield of Borneo, Southern Army of the Island Nation's Army was also fighting against the Imperial Army 23rd Army Group suffered heavy losses in the battle. Therefore, it can be clearly seen from these situations that the combat effectiveness of the Island Nation* army is weaker than we imagined. Empire's military forces deployed in the Pacific Ocean area should not have much of a problem. However, this may result in the loss of some territory," Field Marshal Manstein said.
Oscar nodded. "It doesn't matter if we lose some territory. As long as Empire can occupy some territory in South Seas and Australia, it will be enough for us to free up our hands to fight back. By then, Empire will massively increase its troops Pacific Ocean, which will be enough to crush the Island Nation people!"
With Germany's current strength, Oscar does not regard Island Nation as much of a threat at all. After all, although Island Nation can be regarded as one of the powerful countries, compared with Germany, the world hegemon, the gap is still too big. If German homeland was not too far away from Pacific Ocean, Germany would have perished Island Nation long ago. After Germany wins victory on other battlefields or gains an advantage, he can mobilize troops to increase Pacific Ocean's force at any time to achieve the final victory.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force, will also send some reinforcements appropriately to reinforce Pacific Theater." Field Marshal Manstein continued.
"In addition to Island Nation, Empire must also pay special attention to Americans this year! I think Americans will never look at helplessly Empire will destroy Buru this year, so we must prepare early, Americans is very likely to go to war with the Empire this year!" Oscar reminded.
The expressions of Field Marshal Manstein and others couldn't help but become serious. After all, to a certain extent, United States is undoubtedly Germany's biggest enemy. Atlantic Ocean's obstruction makes it difficult for Germany's military power to be deployed on United States, posing a real threat to United States. At the same time, United States's strong industrial strength and huge population enable United States to have extremely strong military strength. Although it cannot be compared with Germany, it is enough to pose a relatively large threat to Germany. Although, also blocked by Atlantic Ocean, even if United States goes to war with Germany, it will not threaten European continent for a while. However, the pressure on Imperial Navy may be very great.
"About United States, everyone does not need to worry for the time being. Imperial Navy will withstand Americans's attack. Before defeating Imperial Navy, Americans cannot threaten European continent. Therefore, Imperial Army and Sora The army must seize the time to severely damage Buru this year, so that Empire can gain a decisive advantage on the Buru battlefield. Only in this way can Empire be able to calmly deal with the threat of Americans!" Oscar continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" All the marshals and generals replied.
In the afternoon of the same day, Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire summoned several marshals and important generals of Imperial Navy in the palace, including Imperial Navy Minister Marshal Raeder, Commander of the Imperial Navy's Submarine Force Marshal Dönitz, Imperial Home Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens, Commander of the Imperial Atlantic Fleet General Rolf? Kars, Commander of the Imperial Mediterranean Fleet Hull General Mann? Boehm.
The reason why these naval marshals and generals were summoned separately is because on the Buru battlefield, the navy is basically unable to help. On the other hand, it is because in this year's war, Imperial Navy's combat mission is also very important.
"Everyone, I have said before that this year will be a critical year for the Empire. This is not only for the Imperial Army and the Air Force. The same is true for the Navy. So, I hope Imperial Navy can be ready to win for the Empire during this year!" Oscar said solemnly.
The marshals and generals of the navy also know very well what will happen this year. Each of them is ready. In fact, I have been looking forward to this for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Navy are ready. If any enemy dares to launch a war against the Empire, Imperial Navy will definitely be able to defeat them, defend Empire's maritime interests, and win the final victory of the war for the Empire!" First Sea Lord Marshal Raeder said.
Oscar nodded with satisfaction. Since the last war, Imperial Navy defeated British Navy and became the overlord of the sea. Imperial Navy's strength has surpassed the world. Now, despite facing challenges from American Navy and Island Nation Navy, Imperial Navy's overall strength is still stronger than them. Therefore, Imperial Navy has a very high chance of winning this war.
"On Pacific Theater, Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet have defeated Island Nation Navy's attack. However, Island Nation Navy is quickly recovering its strength. This is Don't underestimate it. Tell Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet, whether Empire can defend Pacific Theater depends on whether they can withstand Island Nation Navy's attack." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Raeder nodded.
"Then, the most critical battle is undoubtedly Atlantic Ocean. According to the Empire's analysis, United States is likely to go to war with the Empire this year. Then, Imperial Navy will undoubtedly become Americans will bear the brunt of the attack. It is even possible that Americans will first attack Imperial Navy and then declare war. Therefore, Imperial Navy's mission on Atlantic Ocean is very important." Oscar continued.
The native Fleet Commander Marshal Lütjens, Commander of the Atlantic Fleet Rolf? Kars generals all had solemn expressions on their faces. Once Empire and United States start a war, the navy will become the most important force. In particular, these two fleets will become the main force against American Navy. Mediterranean Fleet's strength is relatively weak, so it can only be used as a supplement.
