Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 848 Alaska (1)
Patton was so humiliated that he was so angry that he was so angry that if he hadn't been held down by two soldiers, he would have rushed forward and fought with Major General Achim.
Major General Achim ignored Patton's cannibalistic look, took a leisurely sip of tea and waved his hand. "Looking at how lively you are, you should be good at doing heavy work. Send him and the first batch of prisoners of war to Unalaska Island to participate in the construction of the base there."
The adjutant on the side warned in a low voice. "General, the Geneva Convention..." The Geneva Convention does not allow captured officers to participate in labor.
Major General Achim smiled disapprovingly. "At first glance, this is a good general who loves his soldiers as much as his son. Since he strongly demands to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, we have no reason to refuse, right?"
Although there was an international convention to protect prisoners of war in 1929, when a war of unprecedented scale broke out, even the personal safety and personal dignity of both warring parties could not be well protected, let alone prisoners of war?
However, in World War II in the original time and space, although the German army could be said to be inhumane in its treatment of the Jews and the Soviets, it still treated most British and American prisoners of war well. Especially before and during the war, as long as you didn't try to escape from the prisoner of war camp and stayed in the prisoner of war camp, your life was basically not in danger, and you didn't even have to work in some places.
In terms of food, the food and clothing of British and American prisoners of war can also be guaranteed. In the later film "Hart's War" shot in the United States, there was a scene where American soldiers threw bread at Soviet prisoners of war. At least British and American prisoners of war would not go hungry in German prisoner-of-war camps, and there would even be extra food that could be thrown to Soviet prisoners of war.
In another American movie "The Great Escape", in a German prisoner-of-war camp in France, in order to boost morale, a German officer came up with an ingenious idea: to hold an international football match in the prisoner-of-war camp. The German national team played against British and American prisoners of war. As a result, the British and American prisoners of war took the opportunity to prepare for a collective escape from prison on the day of the competition...
Of course, German prisoner-of-war camps were by no means a "paradise". Generally speaking, after being captured by the German army, the vast majority of British and American prisoners of war had no problem with their personal safety. Unless you are unlucky and the person on the stall is an SS officer full of perverted ideas, or a ruthless officer, the possibility of being executed for no reason is very high (basically there are not many American, British and French prisoners of war) Such bad luck).
However, Yannick did not have any Aryan race theory with a mustache. He took measures to treat these equally. Soviet prisoners of war had to work, and British and American prisoners of war naturally had to work (by this time, most of the British prisoners of war had been released home). Who There is no special treatment either.
Unalaska Island is the second largest island in the Aleutian Islands. It has extremely high strategic value in the military and has always been the most important naval and air force base in the North Pacific of the United States.
Just as the top U.S. officials feared, after conquering the Soviet Far East, the Germans turned their attention to Alaska. They successively occupied Atka, Nikolsky, Unalaska Akutan and other islands, and pressed forward step by step towards Alaska.
This has caused a sense of crisis among the top leaders of the United States. If Alaska is really captured by the Germans, the political crisis will be far greater than the military crisis. After all, Canada is separated from Alaska and the "continental United States", a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers. If the Germans want to fight all the way from Alaska to the mainland of the United States, they might as well launch a landing operation directly from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.
Once the Germans captured Alaska, it would be the first piece of American soil to be captured by an enemy. Although the previous Midway Islands and Hawaiian Islands had long been occupied by the Germans, strictly speaking they were just "overseas territories", and their meaning was completely different from that of the United States.
Once Alaska falls, what impact will it have on the people and how will they react?
Are the people passionate and sharing the same hatred against the enemy, or are they depressed and have no fighting spirit?
For a while, everyone quarreled. Some people advocated holding on to Alaska, while others suggested withdrawing all Alaska garrison troops to ensure the defense of the mainland.
President Wilkie was still in a coma, and the Vice President decided to stick to Alaska after discussing with a group of senior officials. "We need precise information now, and we also need the military to come up with a precise defense plan..." The vice president issued a series of orders, and ordered all departments to execute them quickly. "Also, when will the riots in Detroit be completely quelled?!"
"A week at most."
As mentioned earlier, because the German agents evacuated the city, the thugs below became a bunch of headless flies. But they also seemed to have a premonition that the end was coming (even if they wanted to surrender, the American soldiers would not accept it and shot them dead on the spot), and they became even more crazy and unscrupulous. In addition, what they were holding were not fire sticks, which still caused a lot of casualties to the American soldiers.
On the other side, a group of German high-altitude bombers taking off from Adak Island flew over Alaska and dropped tons of leaflets on several cities.
The content of the leaflet is to warn Alaska residents that Alaska will be bombed indiscriminately in three days, so that Alaska residents should leave here as soon as possible. The whole of Alaska was in chaos. Until now, no one would regard the Germans as a joke. Residents fled their hometowns with their families, taking all the means of transportation they could find, carrying all their belongings with them. I just want to leave the city that is about to be bombed as soon as I can take away my belongings.
On the fourth day, German high-altitude bombers flew over Alaska as scheduled and dropped hundreds of tons of bombs.
On the fifth day, a fleet came to the waters off Alaska, and carrier-based attack aircraft bombed the coastal defenses indiscriminately.
On the sixth day, the radarman on the bridge of the German fleet's flagship let out an exclamation. "Sir, the air radar has detected an abnormality, you'd better take a look for yourself!!"
"What's going on?!" Captain Bergmann, the commander of the fleet, walked quickly to the radar screen and suddenly saw the dense white dots on the radar screen, and he broke out in a cold sweat. "The Americans are going all out!" Look, there are at least six to seven hundred aircraft, maybe even more, and they only have two aircraft carriers and 100 fighter jets.
"How did these Americans gather so many fighter planes?" After muttering, Colonel Bergmann gradually calmed down and ordered the fleet to sound the battle alarm and prepare for air defense. The fleet retreated at full speed to allow the fighters to take off.
Although there are only two aircraft carriers in this fleet, there is one "Warrior" anti-aircraft battleship. Coupled with the anti-aircraft firepower of other battleships, Colonel Bergman is still confident to defend against these American aircraft groups.
