Chapter 1730: The final battle (ask for a monthly ticket)
President Roosevelt insisted on a final decisive battle with the German army in Washington, which can be regarded as gathering the remaining troops of the US Army here. If this battle can withstand the German attack, or even defeat the German army, a decent peace can be won. But if it fails, then immediately beg for surrender.
Of course, President Roosevelt still had a bit of extravagant hope in his heart, hoping that the U.S. military could burst out with strong combat power at the last moment and resist the German attack. I also hope that God can show up at this last critical moment and bless the United States.
However, most people know that it is almost impossible for the United States to win the final battle. The reason why everyone supported President Roosevelt's decision was completely unwilling. You know, the United States is the only powerful country in the world that can fight against Germany. But they are now collapsing under the onslaught of Germany. These officials and generals who hold the power of the United States will soon become subjugated slaves who have lost their power, which will naturally make these people very dissatisfied. That's why they want to fight one last time.
After President Roosevelt issued the order, Admiral Marshall immediately issued orders to the various units of the US Army. A large number of U.S. troops began to gather in Washington, not only the few remaining elite armies that had withdrawn from the front lines. There are also new recruits formed later. Soon, the U.S. Army assembled in Washington numbered more than three million. Moreover, more US troops are gathering here.
Washington is located at the confluence of the Potomac River and the Anacostia River. These two rivers are undoubtedly two natural barriers for Washington. Only a small amount of troops are needed to guard the two rivers to withstand the German attack. The rest of the troops can be deployed in northern Washington to build a solid line of defense to resist the German attack. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚w𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m
As long as the U.S. military can resist the German attack head-on, then they have hope for a decent peace. No matter how bad it is, it can ensure that the United States can continue to exist. And this is what President Roosevelt and senior military and political officials in the United States expected.
The changes of the US military are also under the control of the German army. As the U.S. army retreated in great strides, the German army's advance speed continued to accelerate. In particular, the transportation facilities in the United States are very good, which greatly speeds up the advance of the German army. Even when the U.S. military was retreating, it blew up some bridges. But this is nothing more than causing some minor troubles to the German army.
New York, German North American Theater Command.
After the German army occupied New York, the German army moved its headquarters here.
The commanders of the three German army groups gathered together again. Field Marshal Manstein summoned them and began to discuss the final battle.
"Everyone, the Americans are gathering troops to Washington. It is easy to see that they want to fight us to the death in Washington. If this is the case, then we will do what they wish and have a final battle with them! Marshal Manstein looked very relaxed with a smile on his face.
Indeed, with the loss of the main force of the U.S. Army almost the same, Marshal Manstein no longer took the U.S. military's stubborn resistance as a matter of course. With the current strength of the German army, there will be no problem in defeating the last remnants of the US military.
"Your Excellency, the Americans have gathered a lot of troops in Washington! According to preliminary estimates, it has reached 3 million. Even, it will eventually reach more than 4 million." Marshal Guderian said.
Marshal Manstein nodded: "The Americans have completely abandoned the defense of other areas and gathered all their troops in Washington. This naturally allows them to have a huge army in Washington. However, those troops I believe everyone is very clear about what kind of fighting power they have."
Several marshals couldn't help laughing. Through the previous battles, they also had a deep understanding of the combat effectiveness of the US military. It can be said that the elite troops of the U.S. Army are simply a joke in front of the elite German troops. Although the equipment is not bad, those American officers and soldiers are simply unable to display the combat effectiveness of these equipment. In addition, the will to fight is very fragile. Once the battle situation is unfavorable, they will be defeated or surrender. This makes the U.S. military vulnerable on the battlefield.
"Even so, the so-called elite troops of the U.S. military have already lost almost all of them. Most of the troops they assembled in Washington are recruits formed later. This makes them even though they have a huge army, they are still unbearable. One hit," Marshal Bromberg said.
"Yes, the combat effectiveness of the US military is not worth mentioning. It is not difficult to defeat them. Besides, this time, we can also gather troops to Washington." Marshal Rommel also said.
"Yes, gentlemen. Then, we will have a final decisive battle with the Americans in Washington, and smash the hopes of the Americans in one fell swoop! It is estimated that after the Battle of Washington is over, the war in North America will almost come to an end. "Marshal Manstein said.
Marshal Guderian and others nodded repeatedly.
The United States has gathered its remaining power in Washington, which of course makes Washington a tough bone. But for Germany and the German army, it is actually very beneficial. As long as they annihilate the remaining forces of the US military in Washington, then the United States is completely finished. There will be no surprises that Germany won the war.
On the contrary, if the U.S. military distributes its remaining forces to various parts of the United States, it will cause big trouble. The land area of ??the United States is very vast. If the German army wants to send troops to fight throughout the United States, they don't know how long it will take to win the final victory. Once the U.S. military is completely wiped out by the German army, even if the remaining territories of the U.S. want to oppose Germany, they will not be able to turn around because of the lack of troops and force.
"Everyone, give an order to march to Washington. Defeat the United States as soon as possible and end this **** war!" Marshal Manstein ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." All three marshals replied.
After the order was issued, the German Army Group A, Army Group B, and Army Group C began to accelerate their march towards Washington. At the same time, in addition to leaving a part of the support logistics supply line for the German servant army, the rest of the troops also rushed to Washington to participate in the final decisive battle.
