German Navy has built a large number of landing ships of various types, all in preparation for landing in North America. Germany Supreme Command knows very well that once German military logs in on North America, Americans and British will fight tooth and nail to resist German offensive and ensure its own safety.
Although, Germany's military strength is far more powerful than United States and Britain combined. Atlantic Ocean's obstruction has limited the projection of Germany's powerful military strength. If Germany is adjacent to United States, Germany can easily destroy United States. But the problem is that if Germany wants to defeat United States, or even destroy United States, it must send troops to cross Atlantic Ocean and land on United States's homeland.
Landing operations have always been very brutal, especially for the landing party. If you want to successfully land, you will often pay a very high price. The defensive side can gather superior forces to launch a counterattack and drive the enemy's landing troops into the sea.
It is precisely because of this that German military hopes to invest a strong enough force in the first round of landing. In this case, the U. S. military's counterattack can be resisted. After that, German military will be able to log in continuously. As long as United States has a firm foothold in its homeland, it will not be easy for United States to defeat Germany in one fell swoop.
Oscar is quite satisfied with these landing ships prepared by the navy. If the tank landing ship, dock landing ship and amphibious assault ship are all dispatched, five Marine Division and three Armored Division can be invested at one time. Marine Division launched the landing first, and after consolidating the beachhead position, the tank landing ship can be dispatched. Once German armored forces comes ashore, can the US military still be able to resist it?
Of course, more infantry can also travel to North America on merchant ships and transport ships. After arriving, go ashore to join the battle. The shipping capacity of Europe is enough to ensure that millions of German military and its allies fight on the North American continent.
However, if you want to launch a landing operation against North America, the most important issue is to obtain sea control over Atlantic Ocean. Although through Battle of the Azores, German Navy has obtained the sea control of Atlantic Ocean. However, this mainly refers to most of the sea areas of Atlantic Ocean. The western sea area of Atlantic Ocean is still firmly in the hands of Americans and British.
American Navy is among Battle of the Azores, although the loss is huge. But the remaining power, coupled with the support of shore-based aircraft, can still control Western Atlantic. Not to mention that British Navy is relatively powerful.
If you want to log in successfully, you must first clear American Navy and British Navy. Otherwise, German military's landing ship and transport ship heading to North America East Coast will only become the target of massacre by American Navy and British Navy. At that time, no matter how many landing troops Germany sends, they will only die.
How to defeat American Navy and British Navy has become the goal of the three Grand Fleets deployed by the German Naval Ministry in the direction of Atlantic Ocean.
In mid-September 1940, German Naval Ministry submitted a combat plan. Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire, participated in the review of this plan. Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Manstein, Air Force Minister Albert? Field Marshal Kesselring also attended the meeting.
"Your Majesty, the Navy hopes to launch an attack on Bermuda controlled by Americans, in order to attract American Navy and British Navy to go to sea to fight us! If American Navy and If British Navy does not go out to sea to fight us, we can take advantage of the situation and build it into an important base. We can even deploy a large number of aircraft in Bermuda and directly attack United States East Coast." Marshal Raeder said.
Bermuda Islands is more than 900 kilometers away from North America, covering an area of 71.7 square kilometers. Moreover, the terrain of this archipelago is flat. If German military captures it, it can build airports on several major islands and deploy a large number of combat aircraft. You can even turn this place into a bridgehead for launching a landing operation against North America.
Oscar nodded. "If we can capture Bermuda Islands, we can even deploy heavy Bomber here to directly attack United States East Coast launched the bombing. Once our bomb falls on Mir's head, it will undoubtedly be a great shock to Americans and even cause turmoil in United States society."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our H-11 medium Bomber and H-21 heavy Bomber can both depart from Bermuda Islands and bomb the United States homeland. No. However, considering that United States has very powerful air defense forces and fighter units, it may only be able to carry out night bombing without gaining an advantage, and the loss rate will be very alarming." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said.
He did not want Oscar to force the Bomber troops of the Air Force to launch an attack. In that case, the loss would be so great that it would make him bleed with heartache.
Oscar nodded, of course he knew this clearly. The strength of US Army Air Corps is not as good as German Air Force. But they have already begun to equip P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets. These can pose a great threat to German Air Force and Bomber. Due to range issues, German Air Force's FW-190 fighter jets are unable to provide cover for these Bomber throughout the entire journey. Once an attack is launched, it is very likely to cause heavy losses. As for the BF-110 fighter jet, its air combat capability is relatively weak.
"If Empire pretends to capture Bermuda, Americans will definitely not let us successfully capture it. By then, American Navy and British Navy will most likely come out in force. This will give us Provide an opportunity for a decisive battle. If Imperial Navy can seize this opportunity, he can defeat American Navy and British Navy in one fell swoop and clear the way for landing in North America!" Marshal Lütjens said.
"Yes, in order to ensure the security of the homeland, Americans will not be willing to see Bermuda fall into our hands. When the time comes, they will definitely dispatch the navy to fight us decisively." Admiral Rolf Kars also said.
Oscar nodded. "No matter whether American Navy and British Navy play or not. We all need to win Bermuda. If we can take this opportunity to solve American Navy and British Navy, that would be the best. After winning Bermuda, we will gain We now have a bridgehead to attack North America. We don't even need to directly attack the mainland of United States, but launch an attack on the islands on the Caribbean Sea to further establish an advantage around United States and create favorable conditions for landing on United States."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied.
"Then, let's implement it according to the navy's plan!" Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
