Due to the pressure from Germany people, Prime Minister Churchill and the Canada royal government had to agree to German military's request for a tunnel. Now German military is powerful. If they don't agree, once German military becomes stronger, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.
However, the Canada government cannot refuse the Germany people's arrogance and unreasonableness. But they are not that easy to deal with. That night, Americans learned through secret channels that German military would use Canada to march towards United States on a large scale.
Strategy Director of the Intelligence Bureau Donovan immediately reported to United States Army General Staff, and at the same time rushed to White House in person to report the matter to President Roosevelt. Obviously, German military used Canada to attack United States, which will have a very big impact on the overall deployment of the US military.
"Your Excellency, the Commander of the Germany people have personally threatened the Churchill and Canada governments. If the Canada government refuses If German military demands it, they will send troops to destroy Canada. Therefore, Churchill and the Canada government have no choice but to agree to the Germany people's request," Donovan said.
President Roosevelt looked very ugly, which is undoubtedly bad news for United States and the US military. Perhaps it's because there has been so much bad news these days that President Roosevelt is almost numb.
"Alas! I can understand Prime Minister Churchill and the others. Under the strong coercion of the Germany people, they had no choice but to make such a choice. If it were me in that situation, I would probably have to make that choice too!" President Roosevelt sighed.
Although, what Britain people did made him a little angry. But he knew that Prime Minister Churchill there was nothing they could do. In order for their country to continue to exist, Prime Minister Churchill and others can only compromise.
"Your Excellency, the Germany people launched an attack through Canada, which will have a great impact on our overall deployment." Donovan said.
Previously, US Army did not think that German military would use Canada, so the main defense direction was placed on Maine. The main forces are also deployed at Maine. But now, German military uses Canada to launch an attack, which makes almost the entire northern border of United States become the target of German military's attack. This is undoubtedly a very big threat to the US military.
President Roosevelt nodded. "Come here, let the Chief of General Staff and Army Air Corps Commander come to see me!"
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." The secretary immediately went to make a call.
In fact, General Marshall, General Arnold and others knew the seriousness of the matter after learning the news from strategy Intelligence Bureau. Without being summoned by President Roosevelt, he had already rushed to White House.
Soon, General Marshall and others appeared in President Roosevelt's office.
President Roosevelt was not surprised that they arrived so quickly. After all, this is already considered an urgent matter.
"Gentlemen, I believe you already know what exactly happened. The Germany people once again exceeded our expectations. They used powerful force to directly subdue the Canada government and agreed to their request for a tunnel. This is also This means that the Germany people will attack us through Canada's territory. And our defense line will probably have to continue to expand. Now, do we have any countermeasures?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Your Excellency, our military strength in the Great Lakes region and upstate New York is relatively weak. If German military launches an attack from these areas, it may be difficult for us to resist Germany Therefore, we must mobilize our troops to strengthen the defense of these areas. Otherwise, the Germany people will easily invade our territory." General Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded, and it was very necessary to deploy troops to strengthen the defense of the Great Lakes region.
"After allocating troops, will it affect Maine's defense? After all, although the Germany people will attack us from Canada territory, they will not give up attacking from Maine." President Roosevelt was a little worried.
"Your Excellency, the defense power of Maine will decline, which is inevitable. However, our main force is still gathered on Maine. Even if Germany people are opposite Maine We have assembled elite troops, but it is not easy to invade Maine and defeat us. We have sent the main army and all Armored Forces to the battlefield," General Marshall said.
"That's good. We have no retreat in this battle. Defeating the Germany people may be able to win a decent peace for us. But if we are defeated by the Germany people, our country will definitely perish. Therefore, everyone must do their best for the next war. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." President Roosevelt said.
This battle is directly related to the fate of United States. It can even be said that the future of United States lies in this battle. President Roosevelt is naturally very concerned about it. If this battle is lost, then Germany people will definitely not let United States go. By then, United States may no longer exist. And this is something President Roosevelt absolutely does not want to see.
Although, the fact that United States is now in such a situation is inseparable from Roosevelt. If it weren't for Roosevelt insisting on having his own way and choosing to use military industry to stimulate industry and get out of the economic crisis. United States will not fall into the crazy and militaristic expansion of the army. The surge in military strength has made United States more and more ambitious, wanting to challenge Germany and pull Germany down from the throne of the world's hegemon.
But unfortunately, President Roosevelt and other United States leaders, who were blinded by their strength, did not realize that although United States's military strength expanded rapidly, the same thing was that German military's military strength grew faster. This also caused United States to be continuously defeated in this war. In the end, even the fate of the country depended on the war.
"Yes, Your Excellency President, we will definitely try our best." General Marshall said solemnly. They all know the importance of this battle. Therefore, everyone has to try their best.
On the morning of April 10, German military began to enter Canada on a large scale, advancing westward along the railway lines, roads and rivers of Canada.
At the same time, the US military also began to mobilize troops from the front line to reinforce the Great Lakes region, strengthen the defense forces in these areas, and prepare to defend against German offensive.
