"Gentlemen, it is not an easy task tounch an attack on North America. Even though our navy has obtained themand of the sea in the Antic Ocean, it is still not an easy task to defeat the United States and Britain. Our The enemy is very powerful." Qin Tian said.
Marshal Manstein and the others nodded repeatedly. They were also very clear about the strength of the enemy on the other side of the ocean.
"Your Majesty, ording to the information we have, the U.S. Navy is actively rebuilding its strength. The strength of the U.S. Army has expanded to more than five million. Twelve armored divisions have been formed. And, more armored units are being formed. Except for the U.S. In addition, the strength of the United Kingdom cannot be underestimated. The British Navy currently has six battleships and four battlecruisers, all of which are cutting-edge capital ships. In the British shipyard, there are four more powerful battleships and four A more powerful battlecruiser is about to enter service. In addition, the British Navy has already served as many as eight aircraft carriers. Although they are all medium-sized aircraft carriers, they are still very strong. There are also many aircraft carriers in the British Navy''s shipyard It is under construction. It can be seen that the British have not been idle for more than 20 years." Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian''s expression couldn''t help bing serious. Through Manstein''s narration, he finally understood how powerful the military strength of the United States and Britain is. But this is obviously not a good thing for Germany.
"It seems that we were lucky to be able to defeat the U.S. Navy in the Azores naval battle. If the British Navy also joins in, then even if we can win, I''m afraid we will have to pay a greater price." Qin Tian said .
"Yes, Your Majesty. Although I don''t know why the British didn''t join in at the time. However, if the British really joined the war at that time, they would indeed pose a huge threat to us." Marshal Raeder said.
"Then, is the navy capable of controlling the sea in the Antic and ensuring the safety of our troopsnding in North America, taking the British navy into consideration?" Qin Tian asked.
"Your Majesty, beforending in North America, the Navy ns to fight another naval battle to destroy the remaining forces of the British Navy and the US Navy in one fell swoop. In this way, we will be able topletely control the sea in the Antic Ocean!" Marshal Lütjens said.
"Does the navy have a chance of winning?" Qin Tian asked. After all, the enemy''s strength is still not weak.
"Your Majesty, our chances of winning are still very high! In the Antic Ocean, if our three major fleets unite, other countries will definitely not be our opponents!" Marshal Raeder said.
Qin Tian nodded: "Then implement ording to your n. I hope you can win again."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The navy''s generals all replied.
"Landing in North America requires a lot of transport ships andnding ships. When will these transport ships andnding ships be ready?" Qin Tian asked. After all, the Antic Ocean is thousands of kilometers long. It is undoubtedly very difficult to cross thousands of kilometers of ocean and send arge number of troops and huge logistics materials to the other side of the Antic Ocean.
"Your Majesty, we have already prepared a lot of transport ships. After the sessfulnding, we can recruit merchant ships from various European countries to transport troops and supplies. In this regard, we have no problem. The dedicatednding ships have also been prepared. I have served a lot. And, the preparations can bepleted in half a year!" Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian nodded. When the war just broke out, Germany had already started preparations fornding in North America. For this reason, under the leadership of Qin Tian, ??the naval shipyard took up a lot of berths to build various types ofnding ships, including tanknding ships for transporting heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, and docknding ships for transporting personnel andnding craft. Arge number of helicopters, amphibious assault ships to provide fire support for troops and conduct verticalnding operations, etc.
Although, thesending ships are not as powerful and tall as those ofter generations. However, it at least solves the problem of presence or absence. When the German army begins tond in North America, these dedicatednding ships will y a huge role. It can even be used in future attacks on the maind of the ind country.
"If this is the case, then, thending in North America should be nned in half a year! I hope that our troops will be able to win the battle by then!" Qin Tian said.
Although, half a yearter, the Antic Ocean is in a cold January. This season is undoubtedly not conducive tounching anding operation. But as long as the preparations are sufficient, the Germannding operations must be victorious.
Of course, beforeunching thending operation, the Navy had to find a way to severely damage the US Navy and the British Navy again, and prepare for the Germannding in North America.
"Your Majesty, the inders have also begunrge-scale reinforcements to Southeast Asia. If we focus on North America, we will have to take a defensive position in the Pacific Ocean for a long time. For this reason, we need to send more troops to the Pacific Ocean." The strength of the army is enough." Marshal Manstein said.
Qin Tian nodded, although the strength of the ind country was not considered by the German army. However, once the ind countries further invest more military power in Nanyang, the German defenders in Nanyang and Australia will obviously be at a disadvantage. Therefore, before Germany solves the United States and Britain, it is necessary to send more troops to the Pacific to strengthen the strength of the defenders.
"General Lundstedt, I intend to send Army Group E to Nanyang for reinforcements. Do you have any objections to this?" Qin Tian looked at General Lundstedt, themander of Army Group E.
"Your Majesty, it is my honor!" Admiral Lundstedt replied immediately. He knew that Qin Tian wanted him to sit in Nanyang. And this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for him.
"Very good. Then, Army Group E led by General Lundstedt will reinforce Nanyang. The troops deployed in Nanyang will be merged into Army Group E. In addition, the 8th Aviation Group will be dispatched to reinforce Nanyang!" Qin Tian ordered .
"Yes, Your Majesty." A group of generals replied.
"Marshal Raeder, regarding the navy, is trying to find a way to deploy a group of warships to reinforce the Pacific Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet. The navy of the ind country they are going to face is also very strong." Qin Tian continued.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marshal Raeder replied.
After appointing Rundstedt to sit in Nanyang andmand the German army there to deal with Germany, Qin Tian then also promoted Rundstedt to be the Imperial Army Field Marshal.
