No one dares to underestimate a powerful country with extremely powerful industry. This is especially true when this powerful country is facing an existential crisis. Such a powerful country will inevitably explode with extremely powerful combat effectiveness at the last moment. Even if Germany is the most powerful country in the world, it still has to deal with it carefully. Otherwise, you will definitely pay a heavy price.
"Marshal Redl's worry is understandable. However, we are fully prepared. In addition to the three army groups A, B, and C, Army Group D is also on standby. If necessary, they will ship to the United States to fight in the shortest possible time. The newly formed group armies can also be dispatched to fight in the United States. We can even dispatch more troops from other slave countries to the North American continent," Qin Tian said.
Marshal Raeder nodded. If this is the case, then German military is very well prepared. Army Group has three armies. In addition, there are 12 domestic group armies on standby. Although 10 of them are newly formed group armies, it can be seen from the performance of 25th Army Corps and 26th Army Corps on the North American continent battlefield that they also have very strong combat effectiveness.
In addition, Germany and Puppet Troops from mainland China can be mobilized. Then, once German military's war on North American continent goes wrong, more reinforcements can be sent to land on North American continent in time. The U. S. military's war potential has basically been tapped. Once they suffer losses, it is not that easy to replenish them.
"Field Marshal Manstein, this battle is also very important to the Empire. Therefore, we need to send a capable person to take charge of North America. Who do you think is suitable?" Oscar asked.
Field Marshal Manstein couldn't help but frowned, A Army Group Commander Marshal Blomberg, B Army Group Commander Marshal Guderian, C Army Group Commander Marshal Rommel, but they are all representatives of the Imperial Army, and they are all marshal-level people. Plus there is the Navy and Air Force that need to be coordinated. Ordinary people are simply not qualified to persuade them.
"Your Majesty, let me go to North America myself!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
Field Marshal Manstein, as Minister of War and Chief of Staff, is unrivaled in terms of official position, military rank, and qualifications. It is undoubtedly the most suitable for him to personally take charge of the army, navy and air force of German military in North America.
Oscar nodded, he thought so too. Now, there is indeed no more suitable candidate than Field Marshal Manstein.
"Okay, Field Marshal Manstein, you will be the North American theater Commander. I hope you can win this time and defeat United States, the biggest enemy for the Empire." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Field Marshal Manstein replied.
"Everyone, although Empire is currently fighting against United States and Island Nation at the same time, United States is the biggest enemy of the Empire. As long as we can defeat United States in one fell swoop on the North American battlefield, then we will be able to win this war. I hope that we can defeat United States in the shortest time and at the lowest cost. This time the battle against United States requires the full cooperation of Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force." Oscar said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone replied.
"Everyone, get ready. Go to the airport tomorrow and go to a place with me. There is something that I need you to take a look at. It can make you feel at ease." Oscar said.
The three marshals were a little surprised, but still said nothing. They know that Oscar just wants to keep it secret for the time being.
The next day, Field Marshal Manstein, Marshal Raeder, Albert Field Marshal Kesselring, and a group of Imperial Army, Navy, and Air Force's senior generals in the country, and Empire Cabinet's senior officials, a group of dozens of people, took five transport planes and took off from Berlin under the protection of a brigade of TA-152 fighter jets from German Air Force.
The fleet headed south, flew over European continent, and after passing Mediterranean Sea, landed at a field airport in the middle of Libya.
When everyone passed through the porthole and saw the yellow sand in the sky, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Where is this? Africa The Sahara Desert? His Majesty the Emperor What did you bring us here to do?" Many people have a doubt in their minds.
After everyone got off the plane, they changed to cars. After traveling for dozens of kilometers through the desert, we arrived at a camp.
"Your Majesty, where is this?" Field Marshal Manstein asked the question in everyone's mind.
Oscar smiled, and then said to everyone, "This is a secret scientific research institution of the Empire. I brought you here today just to see their results."
Field Marshal Manstein and a few other people immediately knew what it was. Among the entire Empire, only a few people know that Germany is conducting research in this area.
"Doctor, are everything ready?" Oscar asked.
"Your Majesty is ready." said Dr. Oppenheimer, who is in charge of this scientific research plan.
"Then, let's start!" Oscar said. His time is precious and he cannot stay in this desert for long.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Please follow me." Dr. Oppenheimer led the way.
The group of people came to an underground fortification made of reinforced concrete. Through special windows, you can see outside. The entire underground fortification is made of reinforced concrete on the outside and isolated on the inside by lead sheets.
The staff distributed special radiation-proof glasses to everyone.
"Start!" Dr. Oppenheimer ordered.
At this moment, more than ten kilometers away from the camp, there is a high platform of more than ten meters. On the high platform, there is a cylindrical metal container.
Suddenly, this metal container burst into dazzling light, just like a sun bursting out here.
Along with the violent explosion, a black cloud like a mushroom shot straight into the sky.
The shock wave spread to all directions, and there was a burst of flying sand and rocks.
The abandoned locomotives, tanks, armored vehicles and Truck placed around the high platform were all overturned by the shock wave.
In addition, some pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock were also burned to charcoal in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the underground fortification was shocked by this scene. Even though they were far apart, they could still feel the devastating power.
"God! What exactly did we study?" Even the project leader, Dr. Oppenheimer, was also shocked.
"This is a weapon capable of destroying a city." Field Marshal Manstein looked serious.
"This is also a weapon that makes Empire invincible." Oscar said with a smile.
