"Your Majesty, Imperial Air Force and the navy's strategic bombing of United States have achieved initial results. United States Many northeastern states have suffered heavy losses. Not only the airport and a large number of military facilities were destroyed, but many factories were also bombed into ruins. United States's heavy industry suffered great losses.. This will inevitably affect United States's industrial strength and military potential. Now, our strategic bombing is continuing. It is expected that by the end of March, United States's industry, especially its heavy industry, will be dealt a devastating blow." Imperial Air Force Minister Albert Field Marshal Kesselring said to Oscar.
Oscar nodded, it was worth it that he spent so much resources and energy to build Strategic Air Force. You know, those heavy-duty Bomber are very expensive. To be able to maintain its current huge scale, Germany has invested a huge amount of money. Now, it's finally time to see results. If we say that the strategic bombing of Russia back then was a small test for Strategic Air Force. So, this time the strategic bombing of United States can be regarded as full firepower. It also really let the world see how powerful Strategic Air Force is.
"The strategic bombing of United States will continue. After destroying their industries, the bombing can continue. The bombing targets will be expanded to civilian facilities. This war is related to the life and death of the Empire. It's a life-and-death war. Therefore, we don't need to be merciful to Americans. Empire must try our best to win the final victory of this war." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Albert Field Marshal Kesselring nodded.
Of course, bombing civilian facilities will cause a lot of casualties. However, those are the casualties of Americans, what does it have to do with Germany? As long as Germany can win the final victory in this war, then everything will be worth it. Even if you get some notoriety, what does it matter? History will be written by the victors.
"How long will it take for Army Group B and Army Group C to be deployed?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty, Army Group B have all arrived at North American continent. Army Group C is heading to North American continent. Preliminary It is expected that all of them will arrive around mid-March. The rest of Puppet Troops will also start shipping. It is expected that we will be ready in early April." Field Marshal Manstein said.
For this attack on United States, German military assembled 3 Army Group, 15 army groups, and more than three million people. Although, compared to the US Army, it is still at a disadvantage in terms of military strength. However, no matter how many troops US Army has, there are not many elites. Except for a few elites, most of the rest are newly formed troops. You can imagine how much combat effectiveness they can have.
In addition, in addition to the three million elite German military, those who launched the attack on United States this time also included the armies of many slave countries of Germany. The last time we fought against Russia, it was mainly the slave country in the east of Germany that sent troops. This time, it was mainly the western slave states that were involved. Kingdom of England and Wales alone sent an additional two million troops to assist in the war. Including other slave countries, Germany can use as many as five million Puppet Troops people on North American continent. This makes the force that German military can utilize no less than that of the US military.
Although the combat effectiveness of these Puppet Troops may not be as good as the elite troops among the US Army. But compared to the US Army's second-line troops, they can still keep up. In this case, German military will have enough troops to confront the US military. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it is entirely possible to defeat United States.
"So, when will the general attack on United States be decided? I hope that we can defeat United States in one fell swoop through a large-scale attack. In this attack, it will really have the effect of deciding the outcome in one battle." Oscar said.
Although United States is one of the powerful countries in the world, even second only to Germany. However, under the continuous weakening of Germany, United States's war strength is no longer as good as before. It is not impossible if German Army can win a large-scale victory on North American continent and defeat United States in one fell swoop.
"Your Majesty, we have formulated an attack plan. If the plan succeeds, it will be enough to wipe out millions of American troops. We can even capture Washington in one fell swoop. By then, Americans probably doesn't have much strength to fight us anymore. Even if they choose to resist, Empire's strength will be enough to completely destroy United States soon," Field Marshal Manstein said.
Oscar nodded. In order to fight against the increasingly powerful German military, US Army was also desperately gathering troops to the northeast.
Although, US Army's total military strength has now reached more than eight million. But the number of truly elite troops with strong combat effectiveness is probably less than five million. Among them, hundreds of thousands have been wiped out by German military on the Canada battlefield. The remaining US troops can at most serve as some second-line troops protecting the rear.
As long as German military can win this battle, US Army's main force can be eliminated. The remaining U. S. troops are naturally nothing to worry about.
Even if the US military suffers heavy losses, it is a question whether US government has the confidence to continue to confront Germany. Otherwise, they will choose to surrender to Germany like Canada. In that case, Germany can destroy United States at the minimum cost. Of course, even if Americans is a little tougher, he will continue to resist. But after the main force is eliminated, can Americans still be able to withstand the elite German offensive?
Besides, by that time United States, even heavy industry will no longer exist. What else do they use to arm the army, and what do they use to fight against German military? Germany only needs to dispatch those Puppet Troops, which is enough to kill all the Americans who are stubbornly resisting.
"Your Majesty, this time we choose to put our hope in a big war. Will it be a bit risky? Americans will definitely not sit still and wait for death. They will choose to fight us desperately. If we are not so eager and attack step by step, we can still win. It just takes a little more time." First Sea Lord Marshal Raeder is a little worried.
United States is not a weakling after all. Especially now that the country is facing a critical moment of life and death, Americans will definitely do his best.
"It is not impossible to adopt a more secure method. However, this war has been going on for too long. If it drags on any longer, it will be very detrimental to us. If we can defeat United States in one battle, that would be the best!" Oscar said.
