Nova Scotia peninsula, New Glasgow.
This has now become German military North America Theater Headquarters. Minister of War and Chief of Staff Field Marshal Manstein, who concurrently serves as the war zone Commander, also arrived here from China and officially took over the command authority of the entire war zone.
At the same time, German Army Group B and Army Group C have also arrived at Nova Scotia peninsula and New Brunswick province, ready for battle. Germany's many servant countries also sent a large number of troops to assist in the battle. In particular, Kingdom of England and Wales dispatched ten armies with two million people.
On April 9, Field Marshal Manstein held a combat meeting at the headquarters. Imperial Army, Army Group Commander, Army Group Commander, Puppet Troops, and Army Group Commander all attended this meeting. You know, German military and Puppet Troops add up to eight million people. A group army of 200,000 people would have a total of forty armies. Such a huge force is no less than US Army. In addition to the generals of the army, the marshals and generals of German Navy, as well as the marshals and generals of the Air Force, also attended this meeting. In this large-scale decisive battle against United States, the navy and air force must also participate and give full play to their strengths.
Of course, in order to ensure that such a large army fights in North America, the pressure on logistical supplies is also very high. Fortunately, over the years, Germany's shipping capabilities have made great progress. After replacing British Empire as the maritime overlord, Germany's shipping strength has continued to rise. After requisitioning a large number of merchant ships, it was enough to ensure the consumption of troops on North American continent.
"Everyone, after a whole winter of preparations, we have completed the pre-war preparations. Now, Imperial Army has assembled eight million troops in North American continent. All the required war materials have been fully prepared. The weather conditions have also improved. So, I decided to launch an attack in three days!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
All the generals looked excited. This time, German military and Puppet Troops alone have eight million people. And the number of US troops will not be less than this. This also means that in this war, both sides will invest more than 15 million troops. This is definitely the largest decisive battle in history. For these generals, being able to participate in such a large-scale decisive battle made them very excited. It can be regarded as a famous name in history.
"Everyone, this battle is related to our victory or defeat on North American continent. Although, with the current strength of the Empire, even if we are defeated, Empire will not really be like that. However, Imperial Army is known as the best in the world. Since the war started, we must win every battle! The same goes for this time. We must defeat Americans, destroy United States, and win this battle. At least, in my opinion, we should never lose this battle!" Field Marshal Manstein said solemnly.
With Germany's current strength, even if he loses this war, he can start over soon. However, for these proud German military generals, they will never allow failure.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Everyone replied loudly. You can tell from their voices that they have great confidence.
After all, in this large-scale decisive battle between the two sides. German military undoubtedly occupies a very big advantage. In terms of military strength, the two sides are evenly matched. But it is obviously impossible for Americans to devote all its troops to this battle. They still have the southern area to defend, and East Coast also needs to defend it to prevent Germany from launching a landing operation and reopening the battlefield. German military's powerful landing combat capability was fully demonstrated in this battle. Americans will definitely not fail to guard against this. This would tie down a considerable portion of their troops. This gives German military a considerable advantage in terms of military strength.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of both armies, German military also has the advantage. Although the elite German military only has three Army Group, there are three million people. But German military is well-equipped and the troops are well-trained. Previous battles have proven that even US Army's most elite troops cannot compare with German military. Although the combat effectiveness of those Puppet Troops from Germany is much inferior to German military. But compared with the US military, the gap is not too big. Even compared to many US military units, it is not weaker. With the assistance of German military elite troops, it is entirely possible to defeat the US military.
Coupled with the absolute advantages German military occupies at sea and in the air. If Americans wants to make a comeback in this battle, the possibility will be very small.
Of course, even that is the case. German military also has to be careful. This is fighting on the land of United States. If you are not careful, it may cause the boat to capsize in the gutter.
"Everyone, this war is related to the life and death of United States. You don't have to think about it to know that Americans will definitely try its best. And the same is true for us. If we want to end the war, we must defeat United States, or even destroy them. Only in this way can we have an absolute advantage in this war and win this war. Therefore, we must also do our best to defeat Americans in one fell swoop." Field Marshal Manstein said.
There is no doubt that this war is equivalent to the final battle between Germany and United States. Although there is another country that is fighting against Germany. But they were simply not a concern. After solving United States, the generals of German military believed that solving Island Nation would be easy. Compared to Island Nation, United States is Germany's biggest enemy.
In this decisive battle, both sides will invest more than 10 million troops. No matter who you are, you have to be very cautious. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, no one will be able to bear the responsibility.
"According to the intelligence we have now obtained, the US military has deployed five million troops in the entire northeastern region. Almost all of US Army Air Corps's surviving forces are gathered here. Therefore, as long as we can defeat the US military and win this battle, then this war is considered over. Americans will no longer be able to save their country. We will be the final winner of this war." Field Marshal Manstein said.
It can be said that if German military can eliminate the main force of the US military in this battle. Then, there will no longer be any surprises in the outcome of this war. Even God cannot save United States.
