Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2896 Cold Decision
When General Stimson, the Secretary of the Army of the United States, proposed this plan to solve the crisis on the battlefield on the southwest border, he certainly needed to make some explanations. Otherwise, even if the President did not get angry, other colleagues would spit on him.
"Yes, Mr. President, I will explain to the high command!" General Stimson said quickly. Under the pressure of Mr. President's knife-like gaze, he felt uncomfortable all over and his palms were sweating.
"On the battlefield on the southwest border, some of the troops blocked by the Germans turned to the west coast. It seemed risky, but it should be analyzed based on the specific situation. The current west coast area has very few Japanese troops. According to reliable information
According to the information, the Japanese commander, General Yamamoto, will use all his troops to attack our defense line in the Dilera Mountains and guard the Japanese troops on the west coast. The number of Japanese troops is only about 80,000!"
"Based on this intelligence, the Army Department made such a plan. At the same time, our approximately 150,000 troops, along the southern border of the United States and Mexico, after entering the west coast area, can attack the defense line of the Dilera Mountains.
The Japanese army's backside poses a great threat and will force the Japanese army to deploy its forces to turn back. This will also be a very powerful support for the American and Canadian troops who are fighting hard on the western battlefield!"
As soon as General Stimson finished speaking, the U.S. military leaders who attended the meeting suddenly showed expressions of realization. However, everyone understood that the 150,000 U.S. soldiers who had moved to the west coast were pawns crossing the river, and there was absolutely no turning back.
Perhaps, what awaits them is the fate of death in battle.
Everyone, including Roosevelt, understood General Stimson's intentions. Under the obstruction of more than one million German troops, it was unlikely that the isolated U.S. troops on the southwest battlefield could break through the obstruction and successfully withdraw to the second line of defense. Therefore,
, the plan of the Army Department is to utilize waste, or to be precise, discarded materials that have been used to their final value. But no one has said this.
There was silence in the conference room, an oppressive silence. After a long time, Roosevelt said: "What is the other part of the second package?" His tone was painful and weak.
General Stimson secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Listening to Mr. President's tone, he seemed to agree with the plan he proposed. He quickly said: "Use the troops west of Santa Fe to form a right army. The number of troops that can be assembled is about 130,000.
They quickly retreated eastward via Lubbock and Dallas, and assembled in the Beaumont area. Then, they boarded a ship in Port Arthur and retreated to the eastern region by sea!"
"Currently, Beaumont is occupied by the German army. But according to intelligence, the German troops occupying Beaumont only have the strength of one armored division. The main force of the German army is at least five days away from Beaumont. The assembled right route army is
It is completely possible to evacuate smoothly after annihilating this part of the German army!"
After General Stimson finished speaking, there was still silence in the conference room. Everyone's eyes were turned to Roosevelt. The only person who could make the decision here was the President, who had the power of American politics.
Roosevelt looked out the window blankly, as if he had not seen everyone's gaze. No one knew what the president was thinking about. After a long time, he finally said: "Jeffrey, your Joint Chiefs of Staff, what are your plans for the Army?"
There are two plans proposed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to solve the crisis on the battlefield on the southwest border, which one do you prefer?"
Before General Stimson came up with the two sets of plans, he had already reported them to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he and Stimson had repeatedly studied and weighed them and reached a consensus. Otherwise, it would not have been the turn of the Army Department to come up with them.
solution.
"Mr. President, before this, the Joint Chiefs of Staff has carefully reviewed the plan of the Department of the Army. Therefore, the Joint Chiefs of Staff prefers the second solution!" General Jefferfield was unwilling to say more. After all, more than ten people were asked to do so.
Thousands of U.S. soldiers are sent to die, which is not a glorious thing to do with peace of mind. "Of course, in the end, you still need your decision, Mr. President!" he added.
With a deep sigh in his heart, Roosevelt said in a dry voice: "Well, I don't know much about military matters. Since the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Department of the Army are leaning towards the second plan, let's implement it!"
"Today's meeting ends here!" Then, Roosevelt's skinny hands shook the wheelchair and slowly left.
Marshal Rommel's offensive quickly achieved its goal. In early February, the German army successively captured Phoenix, Santa Fe, Austin and other places, and continued to approach Denver, Oklahoma and Barutun Day, approaching the Americans.
The second line of defense, at the same time, a blocking force composed of some German troops completely blocked the troops on the southwestern border of the United States who were trying to retreat quickly in the southwestern border area.
The German troops on the second line were pressing over from the direction of Mexico. The fate of the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers sandwiched between the two German troops seemed to have been determined. The Southwest Border Guard Force of the United States had its headquarters in Oklahoma City.
The commander, General Sartland, received telegrams every day asking for help from troops blocked by the German army, and every unit was in dire need, as if they were facing annihilation!
Admiral Sartland was almost overwhelmed by a flurry of emergency and rescue telegrams. He was going crazy with anxiety. He had troops in hand, and there were more than 500,000 defensive troops on the second line of defense.
But he has no right to use it. It is the only barrier in the central and eastern regions of the United States. Without orders from the highest wartime headquarters, no soldier is allowed to mobilize without authorization, and neither can he, the commander of the Southwest Border Guard Force!
It’s no wonder that the commanders of these American troops cried for help and asked for help again and again. The order to retreat was issued as scheduled, but it was a day and a half late. Within this day and a half, the Germans ran to themselves
We went to the front, but before the retreating troops had gone very far, they were blocked by the Germans. A hail of shells and bullets hit our heads. In addition, the sky was full of German planes, and bombs could be dropped on our heads at any time.
Under such circumstances, the breakout operations of the U.S. military units all ended in failure. As for sticking to the spot and waiting for reinforcements, the Americans did not have such a tradition. How about the 14th Group Army, relying on the city of Phoenix to hold on, it was not defeated by the Germans.
Eaten, how about the Seventh Army, which fought bloody battles with the Germans in Santa Fe for three days and three nights, but in the end, the whole army was not wiped out!
The commanders of the various US military units who were unable to advance or retreat were well aware of the situation they were facing. They sent out countless distress telegrams, but the command's reply was just one sentence, "Wait patiently. The wartime high command is studying countermeasures!"
Admiral Satlan, who was driven to his core by the urgent telegram from his subordinates, finally received the order from the wartime high command, and a major general officer from the Joint Chiefs of Staff was specially sent to deliver it.
Admiral Satran opened the document bag as if he had found a treasure. After reading all the orders, his mouth suddenly opened. The troops east of Santa Fe formed a right route army to retreat from the sea. He had no objection, and he also believed that the battle
The Supreme Command made wise decisions at that time.
But the troops west of Santa Fe formed the left army and moved to the west coast area, which gave him a huge impact. General Satlan was neither stupid nor a military idiot. He knew very well that the left army
After the army moves to the west coast area, what will be the final outcome? I am afraid that it is a luxury to hope that hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be dead!
If the messenger from Washington was not someone he happened to know, Admiral Sartland would even suspect that this guy was an undercover agent of the Japanese, who was falsely delivering an imperial edict to take the lives of more than 100,000 U.S. soldiers!
Convinced that it was an order from the highest wartime headquarters, Admiral Sartland followed it. However, in the orders given to the commanders of the various units of the left army, which was destined to never return, he particularly emphasized tactics, "
After your troops move into the west coast area, you must spread out your troops as much as possible, with battalions and companies as units, dispersed in the vast mountains and forests of the west coast area, and strive to reduce the target!"
"The goal is not to annihilate many Japanese soldiers, but to preserve ourselves as the first priority, let alone to hope to recapture certain targets!"
The core meaning is that if you are lucky, after arriving in the west coast area, quickly find a place to hide where no one is. Don't think about fighting the Japanese. It is important to save your life. Admiral Satlan's subordinates can do this.
Yes, that’s all. For the rest, let’s pray for God’s blessing!
Hundreds of thousands of U.S. soldiers were divided into two groups. Their movements were completely directional and could not be concealed by the reconnaissance of German reconnaissance planes. Information about the abnormal movements of the U.S. military was continuously gathered into Marshal Rommel's headquarters.
Marshal Rommel frowned. He didn't understand. The U.S. Army, caught in the dilemma of blocking in front and pursuing troops in the back, was divided into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right. What on earth was it going to do?
It is easy to understand that the US troops turning towards Barutunri are trying to break through to the east. That is the only way to survive. But after Austin, the forces of the three armies can be mobilized freely, and they will break through at any time.
The U.S. military intercepted it, but the Americans still couldn't escape!
However, Marshal Rommel racked his brains and couldn't figure out what the purpose of the U.S. troops moving toward the west coast was and what they wanted to do.
The current west coast area has been occupied by the Japanese. There are hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops. Wouldn't they just throw themselves into a trap and die? Anyone with a little military knowledge knows this, but the Americans don't
Stupid, meaningless things, I won’t do them!
It was completely dark, and the guards had reminded him several times to invite the Commander to dinner, but Marshal Rommel had no appetite at all. He just frowned and stared at the military map, as if he wanted to see something from it.
Rommel was a very persistent person. If he didn't figure out the enemy's movements, he would have trouble sleeping and eating. He would stand for hours in front of a large military map. The map had been drawn with red and blue pencils with criss-crossing lines.
The staff members walked in and out very lightly, for fear of disturbing the commander who was deep in thought. Suddenly, Rommel's frown relaxed, with a look of realization on his face, "Staff staff!" he shouted loudly.
