"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, Germany people have assembled quite strong forces in Bermuda Islands. Their Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet have already appeared in the nearby waters. According to the intelligence we have obtained, at least one army group has landed on Bermuda Islands. In addition, there are more troops embarking on the Western Europe seaport. It can be concluded that their target is still Bermuda Islands. There are general signs that the Germany people will launch an attack on the Caribbean Sea soon." General MacArthur looked worried.
Previously, General MacArthur served as the US military stationed at Philippine Islands Commander. However, after United States took the initiative to surrender Philippine Islands to Island Nation, General MacArthur, the US military stationed at Philippine Islands, withdrew from the country. His current position is at the US military station Caribbean Sea Commander.
Although, the army controlled by General MacArthur is already very large. But when German military looked like he was going to attack Caribbean Sea, he still felt that he didn't have enough troops and was not strong enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to resist German offensive.
General Marshall's brows were already frowning tightly. Originally, they judged that German military would not launch an attack until next spring. But now, German military's actions surprised them.
"Do the Germany people really plan to attack Caribbean Sea? Is this another trap for the Germany people?" Major General Eisenhower asked.
"Trap? How is that possible? The Germany people have deployed heavy troops on Bermuda Islands. If they don't want to attack Caribbean Sea, they want to directly attack our homeland. However, attacking our homeland It's too difficult. The Germany people also know that we have deployed heavy troops along the Atlantic Ocean coast. Therefore, it is certain that they chose to attack Caribbean Sea." General MacArthur said.
"Bermuda Islands is not close to the Caribbean Sea. It is not easy for Germany people to land on the islands on the Caribbean Sea. Especially since we have deployed millions of troops and more than two thousand combat aircraft on the Caribbean Sea." General Arnold said.
"Yes, we did deploy heavy troops on the Caribbean Sea. But don't forget, these troops are scattered on various islands. Among them, more than half of the troops are deployed on Cuba. The other troops are scattered on various islands. Once the Germany people launch an attack, we are very likely to be defeated by them individually." General MacArthur insisted.
"Everyone, is it possible for Germany people to launch an attack in the Caribbean Sea?" General Marshall asked.
"Chief of Staff, we have to guard against this. If the Germany people win on the Caribbean Sea, then they can use the islands on the Caribbean Sea as a springboard to launch landing operations towards the Florida Peninsula or the south of United States. In that case, they will face much fewer difficulties." Lieutenant General Delos E Mons said.
General Marshall frowned and thought for a while, then said, "In that case, then we will send another 500,000 reinforcements to the Caribbean Sea. Army Air Corps will find a way to send another thousand combat aircraft to the Caribbean Sea."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff." the generals replied.
General MacArthur looked happy. With the addition of half a million troops and thousands of combat aircraft, his strength will be greatly increased. If German military really wants to launch an attack on the Caribbean Sea, he firmly believes that he can resist German offensive. Even, it can defeat Germany people's attack in one fell swoop. In this case, he can become the hero of United States. Getting further promotion and reaching a higher position is no longer a dream!
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, if you once again mobilize 500,000 people to join the Caribbean Sea defense zone, we will have almost assembled more than 2.5 million troops in the Caribbean Sea and the Florida Peninsula and along the Mexico Gulf. This will account for almost half of our current strength. And our Atlantic Defensive Line is not completed yet." Major General Eisenhower reminded.
The expression on General Marshall's face suddenly became more solemn.
"Is our recruitment work going smoothly?" General Marshall asked.
In the end, the news of American Navy's fiasco could not be concealed, and it was soon known to United States the whole society. This caused the entire United States society to be in an uproar. Everyone thought that United States would probably lose this war.
However, under the government's vigorous propaganda, many United States young people still flocked to the recruitment points, signed up to join US Army and Army Air Corps, and contributed their strength to the following war.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the recruitment process is very smooth. In the past two weeks, we have recruited 1.5 million soldiers. However, they still need to receive systematic training before they can truly join the army. In addition, the production of weapons and equipment must also be stepped up. We lack large-caliber artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, etc." said General Marlin Craig, chairman of the Army Reserve Forces Committee. US Army is responsible for the recruitment and training of new recruits.
"Speed up the training and equipment of the troops. Try to get the major arms industry companies to speed up production. Provide us with more weapons and equipment!" General Marshall said.
"Yes, your Excellency, Chief of Staff." General Marlin Craig and Lieutenant General Brian Somerville, who was in charge of logistics, replied.
"Everyone, since the Germany people are very likely to launch a landing operation against North America earlier than we expected, we must further step up our preparations. We must not only reinforce the direction of the Caribbean Sea, but also speed up The construction of Atlantic Defensive Line. In addition, the construction of the new Armored Forces must also be accelerated. By then, we must have enough Armored Forces to resist the Steel Torrent of the Germany people!" General Marshall ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff." All the generals replied.
Although, US Army's strength has been greatly improved compared to before the war. But there is undoubtedly still a long way to go to resist German offensive. Especially in terms of armor strength, M26 heavy tank has begun mass production, and the matching M5 light tank has also begun mass production. But the main force of the US Army and Armored Forces is still a large number of M4 medium tank, M3 Lee medium tank and M3 light tank. It is undoubtedly very difficult to fight against German military's 'Tiger-Panther tanks'.
Facing the threat that German military was about to launch a landing operation, the entire US Army and Army Air Corps acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy and tried their best to prepare for war.
