With the help of the fleet, 1st Marine Division occupied the entire Bermuda Islands in just half a day. Moreover, Bermuda Islands was captured at a small cost. This undoubtedly shows that the new landing tactics adopted by German Marine Corps are very successful. Even such tactics can be applied to the landing of North America in the future.
However, successfully occupying Bermuda Islands is only the first step. There is still a long way to go to turn Bermuda Islands into a bridgehead for Germany to launch an attack on North America.
After German military occupies Bermuda Islands, it is necessary to deploy more troops on the island and build more military facilities. As more construction machinery is transported to the island, German military will launch large-scale construction on the island. Rebuild air defense positions and Radar stations on the islands, expand airports, coastal defense fortresses, build various defensive positions, etc.
Americans will definitely not give up when German military captures Bermuda Islands. If German Navy can create American Navy in one fell swoop, or even eliminate American Navy. Americans is not yet able to retaliate against Bermuda Islands. But if German Navy's attack does not go smoothly, then American Navy will definitely attack Bermuda Islands. This makes it necessary for German military to deploy sufficient troops on Bermuda Islands and build enough defenses to withstand the US military's attack.
However, in a short period of time, Bermuda Islands's defense still has to be left to German Navy. With their presence, it would be almost impossible for United States to send troops to land on Bermuda Islands.
When German Navy attacked Bermuda Islands and German Marine Corps landed on Bermuda Islands, US government was still in a meeting. German Navy's Main Force Appears was in Bermuda Islands, and launched an attack, which undoubtedly caught them off guard.
"Gentlemen, what should we do now? The main force of our navy and that of the Britain people are concentrated in the north. Do we want them to go south and fight German Navy?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Your Excellency, if we let our fleet and British Navy go south to Bermuda Islands, it will take at least two days. During this time, the Germany people must have occupied Bermuda Islands. In addition, Bermuda Islands appeared in The ones in the sea near must be the main force of German Navy. Even if we join forces with British Navy, it will be very difficult to defeat the main force of German Navy there," said Harold Admiral Stark.
There is no doubt that after German Navy occupies Bermuda Islands, he can rely on this place to wait for work and engage in a decisive battle with American and British fleets. Even German fleet, which appeared in the southeastern waters of Greenland, will also participate in this decisive battle. By then, American and British fleets will be under attack from both sides. In such a decisive battle at sea, it is undoubtedly very difficult for American and British fleets to win.
"Are we just going to sit back and watch Bermuda Islands fall into the hands of the Germany people? Once the Germany people build a large number of military facilities on Bermuda Islands, they can even turn Bermuda Islands into It will become a military base. At that time, Germany people can take off heavy Bomber directly from Bermuda Islands and launch an attack on our homeland. That will be a disaster for us!" General Marshall said.
President Roosevelt's face also became very serious. United States In this war, although it was defeated in the early stage. However, for the United States people, perhaps because the bomb did not fall on their heads, they could still endure it. However, once German Air Force uses Bermuda Islands to send heavy Bomber to bomb United States's homeland, the consequences will be very serious. At that time, the entire United States society will be in turmoil. Even the government's rule will be affected by this.
"No matter what, we cannot let the Germany people build Bermuda Islands into a bridgehead to attack us!" President Roosevelt said firmly.
"Yes, Your Excellency," everyone replied.
However, although they already know President Roosevelt's determination. But they have no specific method on how to stop the actions of Germany people, or how to recover Bermuda Islands.
"Your Excellency, the Germany people's fierce shelling and the subsequent battle will destroy all the military facilities on Bermuda Islands. In this case, the Germany people want to build Bermuda Islands into a military Building a base is not that easy, it takes a long time. We still have enough time to stop the Germany people," US Army Air Corps Commander Henry? General Arnold said.
President Roosevelt nodded. "That's true. However, the current situation is still very unfavorable to us. Therefore, we need to do our best to stop the Germany people."
"Your Excellency, if you want to stop the Germany people, there is only one way, and that is to defeat German Navy. As long as we can defeat German Navy, then we can calmly gather our forces and retake Bermuda Islands." Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox said.
Everyone else nodded. Indeed, if German Navy can be defeated, then all crises will be resolved. However, everyone knows very well that it is not easy to defeat German Navy. Especially when American Navy has already suffered heavy losses, even with the addition of British Navy, their chances of winning are very slim.
"General Stark, is the Navy confident in winning this battle?" President Roosevelt asked.
Now, President Roosevelt can be said to have placed all its hopes on the navy.
"Your Excellency, I have to admit, this is very difficult." Harold Admiral Stark said with a wry smile.
President Roosevelt thought for a while, and then said, "I will not put any restrictions on how to fight this battle. I only hope that the navy can do its best to defeat the Germany people."
Harold Admiral Stark thought for a moment, then nodded. "Your Excellency, the Navy will do its best. However, I will have further discussions with the Navy generals on how to fight. We will report to the President as soon as possible."
"Very good, General Stark, I believe the navy will defeat the Germany people and win. God will definitely bless us!" President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency, the Germany people have occupied the entire Bermuda Islands." Suddenly, President Roosevelt's secretary entered the office and reported to them.
