"Forward this telegram to Jiaodong immediately. Be quick." Rowling handed the telegram to her personal guard female soldier. She stood up and walked to the window to look out. The telegram just now came from the United States and was sent by Old Rhodes.
war report on the war situation in Europe. Although the United States successfully assassinated Hitler with the help of Zhao Zhi, Goebbels, who succeeded Hitler in taking charge of Germany, was not a good person. He not only used the intrigue among the top German officials to bring Goering down.
, and also imprisoned Hess, Hitler's designated successor in the party.
If Hitler was a military madman, then Goebbels was a standard political madman. Goebbels, who graduated from the philosophy department of Heidelberg University, was a natural politician. After taking over from Hitler and taking over Germany, Goebbels, who knew that his commanding ability was weak, simply
After handing over power, all military command matters were left to the discretion of the military generals. He only controlled the Gestapo and the secret police. The SS, which was once regarded as a direct lineage by Hitler, now only exists in the German army as a military force to defend Germany.
in sequence.
Adopting Zhao Zhi's advice, the United States decided to launch a landing operation in France first, and then use France as a bridgehead to attack the German mainland. However, the actual battle situation was not optimistic. Although with the help and support of the French resistance organization, the US troops landing in France
It still suffered a fierce attack from the German army. After entering the Bay of Biscay, the U.S. fleet crossing the North Atlantic was attacked from both sides by the German army and the Spanish navy. In particular, the German submarine force caused the U.S. fleet to suffer heavy losses.
After finally landing on the French coast, the well-equipped German ground troops used strong firepower to attack the American troops. If it were not for the surprise attack from behind by the American airborne troops, perhaps the first batch of American troops who landed in France would have been driven into the sea to feed the fish.
After paying the sacrifice of thousands of people, the Americans finally opened up a landing site of their own. However, the poor start made politicians and interest group leaders on the other side of the ocean restless. They could not afford the large number of casualties among soldiers.
It can only be said that the Americans were very unlucky. The Soviets, who were stuck with the German army, lost their way at a critical moment. In the original plan, the Soviets were supposed to launch a major counterattack to contain the elite German troops after the US troops began to land in France. But in fact
This was not the case. After the French and British troops rebelled on the front line one after another, the German army, which had shrunk its defense lines, began to attack steadily. After successively carrying out powerful bombings on the areas controlled by the Soviets, the German army assembled thousands of heavy tanks to attack the Soviet Union.
The enemy's positions were attacked, and the defense line that Stalin finally built collapsed immediately.
The protracted war that Stalin wanted was aborted. The powerful German army did not give him such a chance. The German army, which had already spent a winter in the Soviet Union, did not want to spend the winter in a dilapidated house with drafts everywhere, so they had to speed up and strive to survive in the Soviet Union.
Before the onset of winter, the Slavs were driven into the mountains to graze. The combat tactics Zhao Zhi had developed for the German army in the early days were re-discussed and used. Elite troops were first used to assault and intercept the Soviet backup troops, and then heavy troops were mobilized to encircle the fighting area.
Then eat away at these places bit by bit, which can not only reduce the consumption of ammunition, but also effectively prevent the Soviets from continuously adding troops to the warring area.
After the U.S. troops entering France spent the darkest first half of the month on the coastline, they ushered in an even darker second half of the month. The German army urgently mobilized at least 15 divisions south to block the U.S. troops, facing thousands of enemy troops.
With the coordinated operations of fighter planes and the bombardment of thousands of heavy artillery, the US military, which was blocked at the front lines of Le Mans and Tours, seemed to be unable to move forward. The battle report sent by Old Rhodes was full of worries, and Rowling felt worried after reading it.
They were very anxious, but Zhao Zhi was still in Jiaodong, so they could only contact him by telegram.
"Let's see, the Americans seem to be fighting very hard." Zhao Zhi, who received the telegram, dismissed all the staff in the headquarters, leaving only Ye Kong and Yan Wudao who had returned to the team. The U.S. military was about to land in France.
Zhao Zhi intentionally disclosed the information to the German army. He did so simply to disrupt the situation of the war. Only by disrupting the situation would Thunder have a chance to get something out of the fire. However, he did not expect that the European battlefield would turn out like this.
"The Americans are too bad, aren't they? The main force of the German army is in the north and they are fighting with Lao Maozi. They haven't even taken Paris yet. It's too slow." Regarding the battle report handed over by Zhao Zhi, he only took a rough look at it.
After a few glances, Ye Kong was very disapproving. The group of people in the US military coordination group were so arrogant all day long, making it seem like only the US military was the best in the world, but they had been landing in France for so long, and they didn't hit HIA.
Paris, let's see if Marie and the others have anything to say.
"It can't be said that they are too bad. Germany has planned to start a war in Europe for a long time. The American army is full of new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. It is already very good to be able to fight like this. Our requirements cannot be too high.
." Zhao Zhi was magnanimous, but he forgot that if he hadn't revealed the information to the Germans, the Americans might have been sitting outside Notre Dame Cathedral drinking beer to celebrate their victory.
But one thing Zhao Zhi said is right. The proportion of veterans in the US troops that landed in France was very low, and most of the landing troops were new recruits. They were fine when they were training with heavy loads in the training camp, but if they faced the overwhelming German army
It's pretty good that these rookies on the battlefield can guarantee their survival when hit by strong firepower. "I think the Americans are just good at weapons. If they were given Japanese weapons, they might have been driven back to their hometowns by the Germans."
"Yan Wu smashed Yahuazi with his sword. He was not very interested in the guys in the US military coordination group, so his good temper naturally disappeared when he spoke.
"Sir, what does Madam mean by sending the telegram to us? Does it mean that we Thunderbolts are asking us to send troops to help the Americans fight the German army in Europe?" Ye Kong was really confused about the purpose of Luo Lin's telegram. Although Joey was in Vietnam
They have begun to gradually withdraw there, but after all, the Thunder are now fighting on two fronts: the north and the south. If troops from the Thunder are mobilized to participate in the European battlefield at this time, the Thunder does not seem to have such strength.
"Is that possible?" Zhao Zhi's answer made Ye Kong feel relieved. "Luo Lin just sent the European battle report to let us know about it. Once the United States reacts, we can also deal with it. The European war is on the plate.
It's too big. We Thunderbolts should not rush to participate in the cooperation. The Germans are not as easy to deal with as the Japanese army. A large-caliber howitzer can hit you immediately and wipe out your whole company. In such a battle, it is better for the Americans to deal with it themselves.
"
Zhao Zhi never advocated the supremacy of firepower, but in fact, firepower on the battlefield can determine the success of the war. Zhao Zhi knew exactly what kind of heavy equipment the German army had. Facing the strong firepower of the German army, Zhao Zhi held his own.
There is no effective defense method yet. Zhao Zhi just wants to muddy the waters so that he can get the benefits that should belong to Thunder. He will not be stupid enough to let his troops go all the way to Europe to die. Besides, the war in Europe is none of his business.
The war report sent by Old Rhodes to Europe was just because Zhao Zhi knew what he knew. After reading the telegram, Zhao Zhi completely forgot about the matter. It was not until Mary, who followed the second batch of 74th Army troops to land in Jiaodong, arrived that the matter was brought to light.
Mention it again. "Zhao, our troops landing in France are in trouble now. Do you have any good way to help us?" Mary went straight to the topic as always, and took the initiative to mention the war in Europe as soon as they met.
"Mary, look at my place. It's already a mess. There is still time to participate in European affairs." Zhao Zhi seemed helpless and spread his hands towards Mary. Indeed, Jiaodong now has troops from the 74th Army, and Thunder's
Jewish troops, Burmese mercenary troops, mercenary troops, so many troops were mixed together, and things naturally became much more complicated. Mary had not been in Zhao Zhi's headquarters for a long time, and the flow of people coming in and out had already changed several times.
Even the dozen combat staff officers under Zhao Zhi have been busy.
"Actually, your industrial base in the United States is not weak. The Germans used their heavy weapons to intercept your landing troops with strong firepower. Can you just fight back as usual?" Zhao Zhi started to add fuel to the fire at the right time.
Although the Rockman family is not as good as an arms giant like DuPont, a large share of the infantry weapons equipped by the US military has been taken over by Old Rhodes. As long as the European War continues, the Rockman family's arms business will continue
To create profits, as for who will win the European war, it is not very important to Zhao Zhi and Old Rhodes.
"But the French don't agree with our use of weapons of mass destruction. They say they are afraid of damaging the buildings in their country. Now they are even firing their naval guns to cover the landing troops." Mary's answer made Zhao Zhi dumbfounded. Both Britain and France were dumbfounded.
The country's government-in-exile begged the Americans to send troops for help. The US troops here had just begun landing operations. In order to protect their buildings, the French actually refused to allow the US military to use strong firepower to fight back. This is simply a strange thing in the world. It was Zhao Zhi who traveled to
The biggest joke I've heard in this era.
"Don't Britain and France have colonies overseas? Then let them assemble their own troops and go back to fight the Germans. See if their troops can defeat the Germans with only rifles." Zhao said it had nothing to do with him.
Zhi smiled very happily. He did not believe that the US government would make such a stupid move. Compared with this, it was a piece of shit done by the so-called "elites" in Congress. As long as the number of US military casualties reached
If a certain proportion is reached, I believe this extremely bad order will be changed.
"Don't look at me. You also know that we are about to fight the Japanese army in Shandong. Now I can't spare time to deal with other things with the troops. I'm sorry, I really can't help you." Ignore Mary's pleading.
, Zhao Zhi still politely rejected Mary's request.
