After the time entered 1940, the scale of World War expanded again. Russia and Island Nation both declared war on Germany. Germany had to fight on two fronts.
However, Germany is worthy of being the world's dominant player. Its powerful military power was vividly demonstrated in this World War. Millions of the German Army and the main force of the air force rampaged on the Buru battlefield, inflicting heavy losses on the Russian army and almost reaching the edge of annihilation. The two fleets of German Navy and part of the army also caused heavy losses to the Island Nation's Army and the navy on Pacific Theater. It can be said that in these two battlefields, it is almost no surprise that Germany won the final victory.
Of course, this is without external interference. In fact, another opponent of Germany is also the biggest enemy United States. I will never watch Germany win so easily. Especially if German military wins on the Buru battlefield, then United States will have to face the powerful military power of Germany. Although United States's military strength is also steadily improving. But they still have no confidence in defeating Germany. Therefore, United States hopes that Russia and Island Nation can keep fighting and hold back part of Germany's military power. It even held back Germany's main military force, creating opportunities for United States to defeat Germany.
German military launched a fierce attack on Buru today and won a series of huge victories, which shocked United States.
On May 1, 1940, President Roosevelt held a military meeting attended by Army and Navy's main generals in White House. The main topic of this military meeting is what should United States do in the next war? Should they declare war on Germany as soon as possible, or should they follow the predetermined plan and wait until their military preparations are completed before declaring war on Germany.
"His Excellency the President has arrived!"
When the announcement sounded outside the door, all the US Army generals people in the conference room stood up and saluted.
President Roosevelt was in a wheelchair and was pushed into the conference room by Servant. US government Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of War Henry? Stilson, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox also attended this meeting.
"Everyone, please take a seat!" President Roosevelt said to everyone.
The generals immediately sat down in their seats.
"Generals, our enemies are invincible on the battlefield and are constantly winning. However, our allies are struggling to support themselves under the iron heel of the enemy and have suffered heavy losses. This is not good news for Republic of America. Once our allies are defeated, we may have to face the powerful enemy alone. Therefore, we may have to make some changes in our strategy." President Roosevelt said.
The US Army generalss who participated in this meeting all had serious faces. They also know what this war means to United States. If United States is defeated in the war, United States will be finished. In other words, United States will no longer exist. Therefore, they must try their best to defeat Germany.
However, the powerful combat power displayed by German military in this war really frightened the US military generals. It can be said that the performance of German military is amazing. So much so that the US military generals had to marvel.
This also worries many US military generals once they Germany declare war. Can their army really resist German offensive? Let alone wanting to defeat German military.
"General Marshall, please explain the specific situation to everyone!" President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" General Marshall nodded.
"Gentlemen, first of all, let me introduce to you the real situation of Russian front. The Germany people invested a total of 20 army groups and four million people on Russian front. If we add the investment of Germany The total strength of the slave country's army exceeds 10 million. However, the number of Russian troops they destroyed in this war has exceeded 7 million. This shows how much the Russian army suffered under the attack of Germany." General Marshall said.
The expressions of many generals changed. The war broke out now, only a little over half a year ago. The Russian army alone has lost seven million people. Is this German military too strong, or is the Russian army too rubbish? You know, the current total population of United States is only 130 million. Even if extreme mobilization is carried out, a maximum of 15 million troops can be mobilized. If after United States joins the war, the losses are as great as Germany's, then this battle may not have to be fought at all. They will be defeated by the Germany people soon.
"In just the past half month, German military once again launched a fierce attack on Russia, Russian Southwestern Front Army, Northwestern Front Army, Western Front, Caucasian Front Army and Southern Front Army were successively eliminated by German military. The remaining main forces of the Russian army were gathered at Moscow and Yuzefgrad. However, German military also invested heavy troops to surround the two cities. Once German military launched a large-scale attack, the Russian army wanted to resist German offensive, it will undoubtedly be very difficult. Once Moscow and Yuzefgrad are lost, Russia may not be able to hold on," Marshall continued.
Many generals nodded. They also knew that once the Russian army lost Moscow and Yuzefgrad, if nothing else, even the army was almost exhausted. How could they continue to fight?
"On the Pacific battlefield, at our request, the island nation launched an attack on Germany's forces in the Pacific. But unfortunately, the German military strength in the Pacific was not weak either. In other words, we overestimated the combat effectiveness of the island nation. The aircraft carriers and capital ships of the island nation's navy were almost completely lost under the joint attack of the German Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet. For this reason, we had to give up the Philippine Islands to The island nation used the Philippine Islands as a springboard to attack Germany. Unfortunately, the island nation's army also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Borneo. From what we know, the island nation's army lost more than 700,000 troops in Borneo. And this is only when facing a German army. Therefore, it may be very difficult for the island nation's army to defeat the German army and capture Southeast Asia and Australia.
All the generals had very solemn expressions on their faces. They all already understood that German military's combat power was probably even stronger than they had previously expected.
