After the time entered 1940, the scale of the world war expanded again. Russia and the ind countries have dered war on Germany one after another. Germany had to fight on two fronts.
However, Germany deserves to be the world hegemon. Its powerful military power was fully demonstrated in this world war. The main force of the several million German army and air force rampaged on the Russian battlefield, causing heavy losses to the Russian army, almost on the verge of extinction. The two fleets of the German Navy and part of the army also caused heavy losses to the army and navy of the ind country on the Pacific battlefield. It can be said that on these two battlefields, Germany won the final victory, almost without any idents.
Of course, this refers to the absence of external force interference. In fact, Germany''s other rival is also its biggest enemy, the United States. They will never stand by and watch Germany win so easily. Especially if the German army wins the Russian battlefield, then the United States will have to face Germany''s powerful military power. Although the military power of the United States is also steadily improving. But they still have no confidence to beat Germany. Therefore, the United States hopes that Russia and the ind countries can continue to fight and hold back part of Germany''s military power. It even drags down Germany''s main military force and creates opportunities for the United States to defeat Germany.
The German army runched a fierce offensive against Bu Russia today, and won a series of huge victories, which shocked the United States.
On May 1, 1940, President Roosevelt convened a military meeting at the White House attended by major generals of the army and navy. The main topic of this military meeting is what should the United States do in the next war? Whether to dere war on Germany as soon as possible, or ording to the scheduled n, wait until their military preparations arepleted before dering war on Germany.
"His Excellency is here!"
When the announcement sounded outside the door, all the generals in the conference room stood up and saluted.
President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the meeting room by the waiter. US Secretary of State Hull, Secretary of War Henry Stimson, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox also attended this meeting.
"Everyone, please sit down!" President Roosevelt said to the crowd.
A group of generals immediately sat in their seats.
"Generals, our enemy is invincible on the battlefield and continues to win. Our allies are struggling under the enemy''s iron heel and suffering heavy losses. This is not good news for the American Republic. Once our If our allies are defeated, we may have to face a powerful enemy alone. Therefore, we may have to make some changes in our strategy." President Roosevelt said.
The US military generals who participated in this meeting all had serious faces. They also know what this war means to the United States. If the United States loses the war, the United States is finished. In other words, the United States will cease to exist. Therefore, they must try their best to defeat Germany.
However, the powerfulbat power shown by the German army in this war did frighten the generals of the US military. It can be said that the performance of the German army was amazing. So much so that the generals of the US military had to be amazed.
This also worried many US military generals, once they dered war on Germany. Can their army really withstand the German attack? Let alone wanting to defeat the German army.
"General Marshall, please exin the specific situation to everyone!" President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Admiral Marshall nodded.
"Gentlemen, first of all, let me introduce to you the real situation on the Russian battlefield. The Germans invested a total of 20 army groups and four million people on the Russian battlefield. If you add the troops of the ve countries invested by Germany, the total strength exceeds one year." There are tens of millions of people. However, the number of Russian troops they wiped out in this war has exceeded 7 million. It can be seen how much the Russian army suffered under the German attack." Admiral Marshall Said.
The faces of many generals changed. It has only been a little over half a year since the war broke out. The Russian army has already lost 7 million people. Is this because the German army is too strong, or the Russian army is too rubbish! You know, the total poption of the United States is only 130 million people. Even if it is an extreme mobilization, it can mobilize at most 15 million troops. If the United States had lost as much as Germany after entering the war, then this battle might not have to be fought at all. They will soon be defeated by the Germans.
"Just in the past half a month, the German army once againunched a fierce attack on Russia. The Russian Southwest Front Army, Northwest Front Army, Western Front Army, Caucasus Front Army and Southern Front Army were sessively wiped out by the German army. The remaining main forces of the Russian Army , all gathered in Moscow and Josephgrad. However, the German army also invested heavily in the siege of these two cities. Once the German armyunched arge-scale attack, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for the Russian army to resist the German army''s attack Difficult. Once Moscow and Josephgrad fall, Russia may not be able to hold on." Marshall continued.
Many generals nodded, and they also knew that once the Russian army lost Moscow and Josephgrad, among other things, even the army was almost exhausted, so how could they continue to fight?
"On the Pacific battlefield, the ind countriesunched an attack on Germany''s forces in the Pacific at our request. But unfortunately, the German army''s military strength in the Pacific is also not weak. In other words, we overestimated the ind countries The fighting power of the people is gone. The aircraft carriers and capital ships of the ind navy have almost been lost under thebined attack of the German Navy''s Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet. For this reason, we have to give up the Philippine Inds to the ind nation, so that They used the Philippine Inds as a springboard to attack Germany. Unfortunately, the army of the ind country also suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Borneo. From what we know, the army of the ind country has lost more than 70 troops in Borneo Ten thousand people. And this is only in the case of facing a group army of the German Army. Therefore, it may be very difficult for the ind army to defeat the German army and capture Southeast Asia and Australia." Admiral Marshall continued.
All the generals had serious expressions on their faces. They all understood that thebat effectiveness of the German army was probably stronger than they had expected.
