Burma, Yangon, Imperial Army E Army Group Commander.
Originally, Lion City was the headquarters of the Imperial Army's troops stationed in South Seas, and it was also the home port of Imperial Navy Pacific Fleet. However, as the war progressed, after Dutch East Indies had completely fallen into the hands of the Island Nation's Army, Lion City had become a battlefield. Island Nation's Army once wanted to cross Malacca Strait and launch an attack on Malay Peninsula and Lion City. German military Army Group's subordinate 11th Army Corps confronts Island Nation's Army across Malacca Strait. In that case, Army Group's headquarters moved to Yangon.
With a large number of German military entering South Seas and Australia, German military's military strength in this area has become stronger and stronger. German Army newly formed three Army Group, among which Army Group and Army Group H were both logged in at Burma. Army Group landed in Australia. As for the six Army Group, 11th Army Corps, 21st Army Corps and 23rd Army Group subordinate to Army Group, they fight on Indochina. The remaining 12th Army Corps, 22nd Army Corps and 24th Army Corps are fighting in Australia.
In comparison, Indochina is also the key offensive direction of the Island Nation's Army. And German Counterattack will mainly start from here.
On July 20, 1941, all the additional troops sent by German military to fight at Far East had all arrived at the scheduled battlefield from Europe. Several Army Group Commanders from the German Army, Commanders from the Navy's three Grand Fleets, and Commanders from various aviation groups of the Air Force were all concentrated in Yangon. Empire Chief of General Staff Field Marshal Manstein rushed here personally from the mainland and held a pre-war meeting. At this meeting, various arrangements for combating Island Nation will be made, and then implemented according to the arrangements, so that German military can destroy Island Nation in the shortest possible time.
"Everyone, all ministries have arrived at the predetermined area. And now there are only five months until Christmas. Therefore, we do not have much time. All ministries must seize the time. Otherwise, I am afraid that the tasks assigned by Your Majesty will not be completed." Field Marshal Manstein said.
The marshals and generals who attended the meeting all had serious expressions. Emperor Qin Tian of the Empire said that he would end this war before Christmas. Then, the time left for them is only five months. They must destroy Island Nation in one fell swoop within five months. Otherwise, if you fail to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, there may not be any punishment, but everyone's face will not look good. Therefore, these generals made up their minds to launch an attack with all their strength in the next few months.
Moreover, now Germany has deployed a large number of troops in South Seas and Australia, which can be said to be a strong force. With German military's current strength, killing Island Nation shouldn't be a big problem. No matter how cruel Island Nation's Army is, it is almost impossible to fight against German military.
"Now, the enemies we have to deal with are mainly concentrated in Nanyang and the mainland of the island country. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the army of the island country has nearly three million troops in Nanyang. And there are another three million troops on the mainland of the island country. Moreover, the army of the island country has started a new round of troop reinforcements on the mainland. Even Therefore, they also made harsh words, and they will arm men, women and children to fight to the death. Therefore, the strength of the island country's army will be very large. However, I believe that those ragtag groups cannot be the opponent of the elite troops of the empire." Marshal Manstein said with certainty.
Imperial Army's generals also nodded. After all, although Island Nation's Army can further expand more troops, it is not so easy to arm these troops. You know, Island Nation's Mainland is very lacking in resources. Although Island Nation's Army currently occupies Dutch East Indies and Philippine Islands, both have abundant resources. But it takes time to mine these resources and then transport them back to Island Nation's Mainland. In the past period of time, although Island Nation was frantically plundering the resources in these areas, they had almost consumed them and not much was left. Once German military launches an attack on the Indonesian Islands and Philippine Islands, Island Nation will no longer be able to use these resources. By then, they simply would not have enough resources to arm the newly formed troops. Perhaps most of what German military has to face are just unarmed civilians.
"However, Your Majesty has specifically warned us. We must not take the battle against Island Nation lightly this time. Especially the grassroots troops cannot throw away their lives because of kindness. Your Majesty has authorized that once our troops land "Island Nation's Mainland, officers and soldiers can attack anyone who poses a threat to the Empire* army. Empire soldiers will not kill innocent people indiscriminately," Field Marshal Manstein continued.
Imperial Army's generals all had very solemn expressions. They know better what Field Marshal Manstein means. In other words, once Imperial Army logs into Island Nation's Mainland, he can go on a killing spree. However, these generals who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood would not feel pity. If you become Empire's enemy, Island Nation is destined to be destroyed.
"Our attack will first start from the Indonesian Islands and Philippine Islands. After solving Island Nation's Army Southern Army here, attack Island Nation's Mainland. Destroy Island Nation in one fell swoop!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff!" everyone replied.
"Kars Your Excellency, Island Nation Navy is left to you. Can the navy kill Island Nation Navy before attacking Island Nation's Mainland?" Field Marshal Manstein asked.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Navy will look for opportunities in the near future to find a way to kill Island Nation Navy!" Marshal Rolf Kars said.
Although, Island Nation Navy is very powerful and now has more than twenty aircraft carriers of various types. German Atlantic Fleet, Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet add up to only 16 aircraft carriers. However, these 16 aircraft carriers of German Navy are almost all large aircraft carriers. The Carrier-based aircraft carried on board are definitely more Carrier-based aircraft than the more than twenty aircraft carriers carrying Island Nation Navy. Coupled with the performance gap between the two Carrier-based aircraft, German Navy definitely has the absolute advantage. Even though Island Nation Navy has four Battleships, which are said to be the most powerful in the world, they are definitely no match for German Navy.
"Special General Spee, the next battle, air support and strategic bombing of Island Nation's Mainland depends on the Air Force!" Field Marshal Manstein said.
"No problem at all!" Air Force Chief of Staff Hu Ge? Spee Special Admiral replied.
