Chapter 864: Operational Plan Against the United States

On the St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, the German engineering troops were busy.

The Canadians built a military base here before. There are many ports, airports and campsites. Because of the warning from the Germans, they did not dare to damage these facilities and retreated to the mainland in despair. The Germans who easily occupied the island only needed to expand on these original foundations.

Several heavy-duty rollers rolled over the airport runway over and over again. The engineers behind them laid "Marston Pads" perforated steel plates on the ground and fixed them with U-shaped buckles.

Looking at the increasingly longer runway, the German officer on the tower said. "The day after tomorrow, heavy bombers will be able to take off from here." By then, the ME-264D high-altitude bombers taking off from here can cover the entire United States and even fly to Mexico. If Mexico hadn't been very aware of current affairs and remained neutral, their cities would have been bombed into rubble.

At the mention of Mexico, the officer spat disdainfully.

The trigger for the United States' entry into the war during the last World War was the "Zimmerman Telegram." On January 16, 1917, British intelligence intercepted a secret message from German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann to German Ambassador to Mexico Heinrich von Eckard. This encrypted telegram suggested that Mexico could enter into a confrontation with Germany. America's military alliance, Zimmerman also spoke of Germany's military and financial support for Mexico's attack on the United States. In order to allow Mexico to deal with the United States, Germany stated that it would support Mexico in acquiring Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Britain made the contents of the telegram public on March 1, 1917. Since the United States was a neutral country at the time, Germany's actions aroused the anger of the United States, which led the United States to cut off diplomatic relations with Germany on April 6 of the same year and declare war on Germany.

These damn Americans, they just go to war, and they make such disgusting excuses to treat people like fools? No matter how pig-headed the high-level officials at that time were, they couldn't possibly believe that Mexico could defeat the United States, right? Besides, what benefit does attacking the United States bring to Germany? Maybe this secret message was made up by Britain itself, or it was simply a show jointly led by Britain and the United States.

Just as he was despising these shameless Americans, another officer sighed. "These Americans can really hold on, so why don't they surrender? Why did the higher-ups agree to the neutrality of the Canadians? Look at how cowardly Canada is. We can easily land in Canada and attack the United States directly."

"You and I can't figure out the thoughts of the higher-ups. I heard that the Canadians spent a lot of money to fight for this neutrality."

What they never dreamed of was that Yannick still had no definite plan for attacking the American mainland. Because Germany in the original time and space had at least an unreliable "Barbarossa Plan" to deal with the Soviet Union, and it could still be used after modification. Even if there were any loopholes and shortcomings, they were forcibly made up for by the powerful combat effectiveness of the German army.

But for the United States, let alone Germany, even the islanders who launched the Pearl Harbor surprise attack had no relevant plan. They themselves also knew that they did not have the strength to compete with the United States. The main purpose of the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was to defeat the U.S. Pacific Fleet in one blow and negotiate to resolve their worries. The so-called "balloon burning the United States" plan is just a vicious and desperate revenge method before their defeat.

As a result, Yannick has taken all U.S. combat operations step by step without any systematic and mature combat plan. The high command has not considered this issue, and seems to have decided that Yannick already has a plan in mind and they don't need to worry about it.

Perhaps it is not difficult to come up with a combat plan, but what troubles Yannick the most is whether it is from Canada, the Atlantic or the Pacific, if it really invades the United States in the near future, will it fall into The vast ocean of people’s war

At the end of World War II in the original time and space, the United States did not directly land on the island country's mainland, but dropped atomic eggs. This was largely because it was afraid of the island country's "100 million pieces of jade."

At the end of World War II, Italy had long since surrendered, Germany had been wiped out, and only the island nation remained. Knowing that the end was over, the top leaders of the island country were unwilling to fail and surrender. When faced with the continuous bombing of their homeland by the US military, the emperor still did not crazily shout "100 million pieces of jade" and wanted to fight the Allies to the end.

The citizens of the island country actively responded to the call for independence. Young and children stepped up training, while women, children, the elderly and the weak picked up brooms, hoes, etc. as weapons, trying to turn the entire island country into a battlefield, making it difficult for the Allied forces to move even after landing. The purpose of the top leaders of the island country is also very clear. Prime Minister Anan Weiji knows very well that they can no longer win World War II. He hopes that ordinary people will cause huge losses to the Allies, thereby delaying the Allies to agree to an armistice and avoiding a complete defeat. . As of August 14, 1945, the Japanese army still assembled 53 integrated infantry divisions with a total of 2.35 million soldiers to guard the country, and hastily trained more than 30 million reserves as a supplement.

And although the area of ​​the island country is not small (about 400,000 square kilometers), it has extremely many mountains and very few coastal plains. For a landing battle, there is no suitable landing site in the skinny terrain of the island country. The only place where landing is possible is the Kanto Plain, where you will face heavy troops from the "capital" as soon as you land. It is equivalent to the Normandy landing. You can imagine how difficult it is to attack Berlin as soon as you land.

The US military authorities assumed at the time that "the resistance encountered in the offensive will not only come from organized military forces, but also from fanatical hostile people." The US military was not afraid of fully armed Japanese soldiers, but was afraid that the soldiers would take off their uniforms to fight, and that some civilians would take up arms to attack the US military; because in that case, the US military would be in a desperate situation with no distinction between soldiers and civilians: they would be in the open, while the enemy would be in the dark, and they could only passively take the beating. After all, they could not carry out the crazy Three Alls Policy like the Japanese army.

The Americans finally chose to drop the atomic egg and give up deposing the emperor to win the surrender of the island country as soon as possible.

Yannick felt that Americans should not be as crazy as the islanders, but the population of the United States is 300 million. If one percent of them wanted to fight to the death with the "invaders", that would be 1.3 million people, and even if it was one thousandth, there would still be 130,000 people. In addition, guns are rampant in the United States. Almost everyone owns a gun. Even the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution clearly states: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

If they really want to invade the U.S. mainland, how many casualties will it cost? !
