Chapter 1716: Forcibly borrow
"Gentlemen, the combat plan for the U.S. military this time is as follows. Army Group B, together with the 1st and 2nd Army Groups of the Army of England and Wales, will attack Maine from New Brunswick and move along the coast to Push south and hit Washington!" Marshal Manstein ordered.
This journey, in addition to the one million German troops, also included two million people from the Kingdom of England and Wales, a total of three million troops.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Marshal Guderian replied.
"Army Group, through Quebec Province, Canada, entered Vermont and New York State of the United States. Then it crossed the Appalachian Mountains to the south and attacked Washington. The 1st Army Group of the Kingdom of Ukraine, and the 1st Army Group of the Kingdom of Poland, cooperated Army Group B is fighting," Marshal Manstein continued.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander!" Marshal Bromberg, commander of Army Group A, replied.
The troops along the way are also one million German troops plus two million servants.
"Army Group C, through Ontario, from the south of Toronto, attack Michigan, and other Great Lakes areas. After succeeding, attack south. Cut off the retreat of the US army. Irish 1st Army, Scottish 1st Army, Bohemia The 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the Finnish 1st Army will cooperate with Army Group C." Marshal Manstein ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Marshal Rommel replied.
The troops along the way include one million German troops plus one million servants. Compared with the other two troops, the force is slightly less. But at the same time, the areas they attacked were areas where the US military's defenses were weak. The British side has always assured the United States that although they surrendered to Germany, they will not participate in this war. This also gave the Americans a false impression, as if the German army would not attack the United States from the Canadian side. The main force of the US military is deployed in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and other places. In the Great Lakes region, there were relatively few troops. If the German Army Group C launches an offensive, it will be very easy to tear through the defenses of the US military there, and then drive straight in and capture several nearby states.
"Everyone, we must win this battle, and we must wipe out the main force of the US military in one fell swoop." Marshal Manstein emphasized.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Everyone replied. They are also full of confidence in the next battle.
"Your Excellency, Commander, both Army Group A and Army Group C need to move westward in Canada and then attack the United States. In this case, I am afraid it will not be possible to keep it secret." Marshal Rommel said. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
After all, the United States and Britain were allies before. Even now that Britain has surrendered to Germany. But the United States must have a lot of eyes and ears in the United Kingdom. Once the German army advances westward on a large scale, it will inevitably be known by the US military. At that time, the Americans will definitely mobilize the army to take precautions. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m
Marshal Manstein nodded: "It is simply unrealistic to hide the Americans. However, now we have an absolute advantage. Even if we fight them openly, we will not be weaker than them at all. It is very easy to defeat them. Even if the Americans know about our deployment, so what?"
Obviously, now that they have an absolute advantage, the German army doesn't have to be afraid that the U.S. military will know their deployment.
Marshal Rommel nodded, and it was indeed the case. The advantage of the German army is already very obvious.
"Your Excellency, Commander, this time we are going through the United Kingdom. Will the British agree? The armistice agreement we signed with the United Kingdom before does not seem to include this clause." Marshal Bromberg said.
In order to keep their own country, the British had to surrender to Germany. However, this does not mean that the British will cooperate with the German army honestly.
"They didn't agree, so we forcibly borrowed it. However, I don't think the British dare to refuse our request. Otherwise, it would be very easy for us to kill them by the way." Marshal Manstein said.
Although, Britain has surrendered. Two signed an armistice. However, in order to defeat the United States in the next war, Germany will of course do everything possible. Then those who hinder Germany from realizing this strategic goal are all enemies of Germany. If the British are ignorant, just find an excuse to tear up the treaty. Who made Germany strong now, and the initiative has always been in the hands of Germany?
Marshal Bromberg nodded, this is undoubtedly a typical example of the jungle. However, from a German perspective, there is nothing wrong with this. This war is related to the victory or defeat of Germany on the North American battlefield. Therefore, the German army must ensure the final victory.
After the meeting, Marshal Manstein flew to Toronto in person and had a meeting with Prime Minister Churchill.
During the meeting, Marshal Manstein did not hide his intentions, and proposed to Prime Minister Churchill and others that the German army would use Canada to attack the United States. Moreover, the follow-up supplies of the German army will also pass through Canada. The roads, railways, and waterways in southern Canada were all used by the German army.
Canada's Foreign Minister David Magson rejected Germany's request. They claim that the original armistice treaty did not include this. In addition, they also worried that the German army would anger the United States through Canada, causing the US military to launch an attack on Canada.
However, the German side expressed a very tough attitude towards the rejection of the Kingdom of Canada.
Marshal Manstein proposed that regardless of whether Canada agrees or not, the German army must use Canada. If the Kingdom of Canada sends troops to stop it, then the Kingdom of Canada will bear the consequences.
Marshal Manstein is threatening the Kingdom of Canada. In this regard, the senior military and political officials of the Kingdom of Canada were very angry and aggrieved. They knew that if the German army wanted to force a way, they would have no way to stop it. Moreover, they did not dare to send troops to stop it. In that case, it will only give Germany more excuses, and even take this opportunity to destroy the Kingdom of Canada in one fell swoop.
In the end, Prime Minister Churchill had to choose to accept the conditions of Germany, allowing the German army to attack the United States through Canada. Prime Minister Churchill was clearly a little further ahead than others thought.
The Kingdom of Canada has surrendered to Germany, which is already parting ways with the United States. If the German army fails to defeat the United States, the Americans will definitely make a comeback. At that time, the Kingdom of Canada will not end well.
