"Gentlemen, it is already the end of October. Ournding n is about to start. However, we have not yet made it clear where we choose as thending point." German Minister of War and Chief of the General Staff Marshal Manstein Said.


    This is a military meeting attended by senior generals of the German army, navy and air force. The key topic of this meeting is the uingnding operations in North America.


    "This time, we are crossing thousands of kilometers of the Antic Ocean andnding in North America. For us, it will be a huge test. Therefore, we have to be fully prepared. Otherwise, this will be a huge challenge for us. Bring a failure." Marshal Raeder reminded.


    Although, the German Navy has won aprehensive victory in the Antic naval battle. However, inunching anding operation against North America, the German Navy also did not dare to take it lightly. This is about Germany''splete defeat of the United States and victory in this war. The navy has to do its best. Otherwise, once this attack fails, not only will Germany suffer heavy losses, but it will even affect everyone''s confidence in defeating the United States across the sea. This will have an extremely profound impact on subsequent strategies.


    All the generals of the German army, navy and air force nodded repeatedly.


    "The Americans have stopped bombing the Bermuda Inds. We have expanded the two airports on the ind. The Air Force has sent two fighter jet wings to the Bermuda Inds. Next, we will also build on the ind Five airports. In this case, we can send up to a thousand aircraft to Bermuda." Air Force Minister Albert Kesselring said.


    "Although Bermuda is a good bridgehead, it is still too far away from the maind of the United States. The distance of more than 900 kilometers is still a natural barrier. In addition, the area of ??Bermuda is too small to amodaterge troops." General Georg von Küchler, deputy chief of staff, said.


    Indeed, Bermuda is suitable as an air base. The Luftwaffe could use it to take off heavy bombers to bomb the continental United States. The cooperation of long-range fighter jets and heavy bombers canpletely include the entire east coast of the United States within the strike radius. Even the most important industrial base in the Northeast of the United States will be within their bombing range. But if you want to start from here andnd directly on the maind of the United States, it will undoubtedly be more difficult.


    "Bermuda is really not suitable. If you abandon this direction, there are only two directions. One direction is to go south,nd on those inds in the Caribbean Sea, and then find a way tond on the Florida Penins or the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. However, The Americans have also been prepared in this direction. They have deployed heavy troops on the inds in the Caribbean Sea. They have also left a huge army on the Florida penins. It will be very difficult to make a breakthrough in this direction. Difficult," said Admiral Ernst von Busch,mander of the Marine Corps.


    "ording to the information we have obtained, the U.S. military has deployed more than one million troops in the Caribbean Sea. In addition, the U.S. Army Air Force has also deployed more than 2,000bat aircraft on the inds in the Caribbean Sea. In addition, the inds in the Caribbean Sea The location is veryplicated. Even if we can gain a firm foothold on one or two inds, we will be attacked by US troops from other inds. If we want topete with the Americans ind by ind, it will undoubtedly be It will be very difficult, and the loss of the troops will be veryrge." Admiral Küchler said.


    "Another point is that the Americans have been operating in the Caribbean for a very long time. It is very difficult for us to defeat the Americans there. The price we pay will be very high. In addition, even if we work hard and pay heavy losses , escaped the inds in the Caribbean Sea from the Americans. It is also very difficult to attack the maind United States from these inds. Although the Strait of Florida is not wide, the Americans have already taken the iron barrel of the Florida penins. Even It is about to turn the entire Florida penins into a fortress. It is not easy to open up the situation there. What''s more, even if yound on the Florida penins and then advance northward, it will be very difficult to fight until the United States admits defeat Yes. The South has never been the center of gravity of the United States." Marshal Raeder said.


    Marshal Manstein nodded, he understood what everyone meant. In the three directions listed beforeunching thending in North America, in fact, everyone is not optimistic about the central direction and the southern direction. Therefore, there is only one direction left in the end, that is, the north direction.


    "So, are you optimistic aboutnding from the north?" Marshal Manstein asked.


    "Yes, Marshal. Judging from the current situation,nding from the north is undoubtedly the best choice." Admiral Ernst von Busch said.


    "We can directlyunch an attack on Newfounnd. After taking Newfounnd, we can directly threaten the maind of Canada. Whether it is crossing the Gulf of St. Lawrence, attacking the Nova Scotia penins, or attacking New Brunswick in Canada The difficulty is rtively small in Ontario. More importantly, we are facing the British in the initial stage of the attack, not the Americans. Compared with the Americans, the strength of the British is undoubtedly weaker. Weunched The possibility of a sessful attack is rtively greater." Admiral Küchler said.


    "The area of ??Newfounnd isrge enough, although the terrain is not t. But there are still many ins along the coast. We can vigorously build airfields and field airports on Newfounnd. If the supporting facilities can keep up, we can even build a Thousands ofbat aircraft are deployed on the ind of Find. In this way, we can take off from Newfounnd and directly support the army. We can even directly attack important industrial centers in the United States.” Air Force Deputy Commander and Strategic Air Force Commander Edward ? Marshal Milch said.


    "If we can defeat the United Kingdom, then we can start from Canada and directly attack the strategic center of gravity of the United States. As long as the Americans are defeated in the Northeast of the United States and the Great Lakes area, the Americans will lose most of their industrial base. In that Under the circumstances, apart from surrendering to us, the Americans simply can''t hold on." Marshal Raeder also said.


    "In this case, let''s choose Newfounnd as ournding point!" Marshal Manstein finally decided.
