To the north of Washington, German military control area, German military's frontline headquarters.
German military's attack on Washington is becoming more and more successful, and Field Marshal Manstein has further moved its headquarters from New York to the front line. He believes that the US military has been extremely severely damaged. The current US military is no longer capable of confronting German military. Even if the headquarters is moved to the front line, there will not be any danger.
Marshal Blomberg, Marshal Guderian, Marshal Rommel and others also rushed here. Everyone knows very well that the attack on the US military has entered the final moment.
"Your Excellency Commander, Americans is desperate and has no fighting spirit. Now a large number of Americans surrender to us every day. This makes us have to temporarily set up multiple prisoner of war camps to detain these US soldier. It even once affected our attack on Washington." Marshal Blomberg complained.
"This is a good thing? Isn't it? If all the remaining Americans can surrender to us, then this battle will be over." Field Marshal Manstein said.
"Yes, Sir Commander, this is good news. However, I really didn't expect that Americans would be so vulnerable." Marshal Guderian said.
Field Marshal Manstein nodded. "Unfortunately, Empire has always regarded United States as its biggest enemy, but they are actually just paper tigers, and they were easily torn into pieces by us."
"United States's industry is indeed very powerful, and its technology is fairly advanced. Even if its war potential cannot be compared with the Empire's, the gap is still very limited. But what no one expected is that United States* soldiers would be so vulnerable." Marshal Rommel also shook his head.
Almost everyone thinks that the attack on United States will be a tough battle. Even German military's generals are ready to fight a protracted war. However, I didn't expect that Americans would be defeated so soon. Such a result even made German military's generals a little unbelievable. Everyone felt that happiness came too suddenly.
"It is estimated that Americans will not be able to hold on any longer soon. In order to further reduce our casualties, the offensive is suspended. However, the artillery and air force continue to shell and bomb Washington. The artillery shells and shells that transported us to North America are Throw out all the bombs so that we don't have to transport these shells and bombs back to the country. Perhaps, after we use up all these shells and bombs, Americans will surrender to us," Field Marshal Manstein said.
Marshal Guderian and others all laughed.
Previously, German military was ready to fight a protracted battle on North American continent. This also makes German military very well prepared in terms of war supplies. A large amount of war supplies arrived North American continent, and ammunition and the like were piled up in mountains. It would undoubtedly be very troublesome if these ammunition were to be transported back to German homeland. If it can be consumed on the battlefield, that would undoubtedly be the best. Moreover, Field Marshal Manstein has asked the country not to transport ammunition to North America for the time being.
If Americans's last fighting spirit could be directly destroyed through continuous shelling and bombing, that would undoubtedly be the best result. Although the US military now has little combat effectiveness left, if it continues to launch an attack, German military will suffer some casualties. Seeing that German military is about to win the final victory, under such circumstances, it is natural to try to ensure that the losses of the troops are not too great.
However, Field Marshal Manstein's plan was ultimately not implemented. Because, Americans begged for mercy much faster than he imagined.
On the morning of May 29, US Secretary of State Hull, under the protection of a group of Guard, drove a car with a white flag and left the US military position and headed for German military's position.
After German military on the front line discovered this situation, he did not fire, allowing US Secretary of State Hull to enter German military's position.
After learning the purpose of these Americans, the frontline officers immediately reported to the headquarters.
Field Marshal Manstein couldn't help but be stunned after receiving the adjutant's report.
"Americans wants to ask for peace? So soon?" Field Marshal Manstein couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, Americans why don't you hold on a little longer? We still have a lot of shells and bombs that haven't been used up!" Marshal Guderian also complained.
"Forget it, since Americans wants to ask for peace, let's see what they have to say." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Soon, US Secretary of State Hull arrived at the headquarters of German military.
"Your Excellency, on behalf of President Republic of America, I formally submit a request for peace to your country. I hope that we can formally launch peace negotiations with the German Empire and end this war." Hull said.
Field Marshal Manstein nodded. Although the summing speed of Americans is very fast, it is not incomprehensible. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable to United States. Summing is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Your Excellency Secretary of State, I already know about your country's request. I will report it to the country immediately. However, it is not up to me to decide what the best domestic decision will be." Field Marshal Manstein said.
Hull nodded. "Your Excellency, please convey to your country His Majesty the Emperor that Republic of America is very sincere in wanting to have peace talks and end this war."
"Okay, Your Excellency Secretary of State." Field Marshal Manstein replied. However, he was quite dissatisfied.
Americans Xiang lost the battle and couldn't wait to ask for peace. However, how could Germany easily let go of United States? Now that Germany has an absolute advantage, it will obviously take the opportunity to make a big move. In fact, Field Marshal Manstein has already guessed what kind of response the country will make.
The German Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire has said more than once that United States is the chosen country and the threat to Germany's world hegemony is too great. If Germany wins this war, United States will definitely be completely destroyed. Therefore, no matter how sincere Americans is, no matter how much he is willing to pay. However, their fate may be irreversible.
After Field Marshal Manstein's Telegram was delivered to Oscar's hands, Oscar couldn't help but smile. It has always been his goal to defeat United States, and now he has finally achieved it. This makes Oscar feel very accomplished.
"Everyone, Americans wants to ask for peace now. So, should we agree to have peace talks with Americans?" Oscar smiled and looked at the Empire's military and political ministers.
"Your Majesty, you have already made your decision, haven't you?" Prime Minister Wachth said with a smile.
"Yes, I have decided not to engage in peace talks with Americans. Americans has only one choice, and that is to surrender unconditionally!"
