Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward islands, next to Canada. Especially Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia peninsula is only separated by a strait of about one kilometer. If German military can capture Cape Breton Island, it will undoubtedly be much easier for them to further land on Nova Scotia peninsula.
After German Emperor Qin Tian approved the launch of the landing operations on Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward islands, German military became busy again. German Marine Corps and the five Marine Division in Newfoundland all took action. In addition, 1st Army Corps, who has arrived in the war zone, is also ready for battle.
This time, British Army has deployed heavy troops on Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island. It will be very difficult to completely occupy these two islands with just a few Marine Division. What's more, once German military launches an attack, Britain people will definitely fight tooth and nail. They will continue to put reinforcements on the battlefield. This will further increase the difficulty for German military to capture these two islands.
Therefore, if German military wants to successfully capture these two islands, or even go further to capture Nova Scotia peninsula, it must prepare more troops.
Fortunately, German military Army Group A's other two armies, namely 4th Army Corps and 10th Army Corps, were almost on the battlefield. General Staff Headquarters even plans to incorporate 25th Army Corps and 26th Army Corps, which were later formed, into Army Group A.
In addition, Army Group B and Army Group C will also participate in the attack after the war enters a stable stage. Germany's many servant countries are also gearing up.
After Russia was destroyed, and German military defeated Russia's slave countries on Russian front, each of them received a lot of benefits. Once Germany can defeat United States and Britain this time, they will definitely get more benefits.
Field Marshal Bromberg, commander of the German Army Group A and commander of the 1st Army, set up his headquarters in Tripesi. After his arrival, he became the top commander of the German army in this battle. The three major fleets of the navy will also fully cooperate with their operations.
"Your Excellency, when 4th Army Corps arrives, we can devote ourselves to the attack. Britain people are on Prince Edward Island and There are more than 100,000 people deployed on Cape Breton Island. But if we can launch two armies to attack, it will be very easy to defeat them," Marine Corps Commander General Ernst von Busch said.
Marshal Blomberg nodded. "4th Army Corps can arrive in two days. However, Marine Corps will need to launch an attack first to seize the beachhead position. Then it will be easier for the army to land."
"Your Excellency, this is originally the responsibility of Marine Corps. We will definitely complete the task." General Ernst von Busch assured, patting his chest. Marine Corps's mission is to initiate landing operations. In this regard, they are experts, much more proficient than the army.
Afterwards, Marshal Blomberg discussed with the Navy's Home Fleet, Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet's Commander and determined that the Navy's fleet would fully support them in the next attack. Only then did Marshal Blomberg make relevant preparations.
The date of the attack on Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island was placed on November 30th. At this time, 4th Army Corps has arrived. Including Marine Corps's five divisions, German military and Newfoundland can use offensive troops to reach 500,000.
Although, compared to the British Army's military strength, German military is completely at a disadvantage. Before the war started, British Army maintained an army of one million. Now, British Army has also started crazy expansion. Seeing that the size of their army is about to expand to two million. However, most of the new recruits have not undergone systematic training and have not even collected enough weapons and equipment, let alone participate in actual combat. It is also conceivable what kind of performance it will have once it is sent to the battlefield. Therefore, these new recruits cannot be counted on for a while.
Now British Army's main forces are concentrated in Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick province and Quebec City.
After German military completely occupied Newfoundland, British Army obviously did not have the strength to recapture the island. Especially when neither sea control nor air control is mastered, launching a counterattack against Newfoundland at this time is simply a matter of death. In previous battles, the British army had lost hundreds of thousands of people. Neither British Army's generals nor Prime Minister Churchill could bear to let their troops be wasted like this.
"Prime Minister, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. After the Germany people captured Newfoundland, they continued to increase troops there. The intelligence obtained by our Reconnaissance Aircraft adventure shows that the Germany people may have assembled hundreds of thousands of troops in Newfoundland." Minister David Magson said.
Prime Minister Churchill frowned tightly, German military sent troops to Newfoundland on such a large scale. Obviously there is only one purpose, and that is to prepare for further attacks.
Once German military's preparations are completed, he will definitely launch another attack. This is undoubtedly a great challenge for the British Army.
"Once the Germany people launch an attack, where will they attack?" Prime Minister Churchill asked.
"Prime Minister, once the Germany people attack again, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick province will all become The Germany people are focused on attacking. Fortunately, we have gathered more than half a million troops in these places. If the Germany people really launch an attack, they can barely resist their attack." David Magson said.
"Can you really withstand it?" Prime Minister Churchill is not so assured about this. After all, on Newfoundland, British Army is vulnerable in front of German Marine Corps.
"Prime Minister, we will try our best. However, the combat effectiveness of the Germany people is indeed very strong. Especially when we receive a large amount of fire support from the sea and the air, it is very difficult for us to resist their attack." David Magson said.
Prime Minister Churchill nodded. German military's combat effectiveness was already very strong. In addition, German military had gained advantages at sea and in the air. British Army was no longer the opponent of German military.
"Your Excellency Magson, I know that it is very difficult to fight the Germany people. But now we have no choice." Churchill said.
