Chapter 992: American Strategy (16)

President Camacho wanted to lend the road to the Germans in exchange for some benefits. Of course, there is no need to think about getting back all the 2.4 million square kilometers of land swallowed up by the United States. It may be possible to get back a little bit. Anyway, they have nothing to lose by lending roads to the Germans.

However, Defense Secretary Cardenas felt that something was wrong.

Whether it is luring a wolf into the house or seeking skin from a tiger, the initiative is always in the hands of the strong; as the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. Millions of European coalition troops poured into Mexico and invaded the United States. After the war, if What should we do if we leave a group of people behind and refuse to leave?

It's impossible for them to expel them by force, right? If they really had that courage and strength, would they have been robbed of so much land by the Americans?

And the most important point is that if the Germans really planned to land in Mexico, they would have come to them long ago. But now the European coalition forces may launch a landing operation at any time, but there is no movement; it is obvious that the Germans have no intention of landing from this side. "Maybe the Germans will launch a landing from Canada." Regardless of the terrain or the length of the border, Canada is much more powerful than Mexico.

"..." President Camacho, who calmed down, also felt that he was a little whimsical. I couldn't help but mutter in my heart that if I had known better, I would have stood in line as early as possible. It's a pity that declaring neutrality was a very wise decision. Who would have thought that the United States would be so vulnerable. But even so, the United States can easily destroy them if they stand in line too early.

No matter what, he still didn't want to give up this rare opportunity easily. "Maybe we can talk to the Germans and if the price they offer is not too outrageous we can agree."

Cardenas was speechless. "What if the price they offer is too outrageous?" Can we simply refuse it? Wouldn't that anger the Germans? Isn't this setting fire to one's body?

President Camacho sighed, "What can be done? Isn't this the tragedy of a weak country?"

"..." After a long silence, Cardenas agreed to talk to the German ambassador first.

At this time, senior officials in Washington also received news that the Germans had dropped bombs.

"Did a bomb really destroy a city?!"

The secretary's face turned pale. "Yes, Mr. Vice President, the smoke from the explosion could be seen hundreds of kilometers away in Houston; the entire city was in flames."

"Oh God!" Vice President Truman suddenly felt overwhelmed. If the Germans dropped such a terrible "super bomb" on Washington... The city of Washington is already in ruins, and the Germans should not be so wasteful. But if the Germans used this "super bomb" to bomb this military base, would they still be safe? !

He seemed to feel the burning sensation of the fire burning above his head, and couldn't help but ask. "How far is the vent here?" He also knew that no matter how far the vent was, it couldn't be farther than a city. Once the vents were covered with fire, blocking the air from entering, wouldn't they all suffocate to death?

Seeing that the other people's faces were also quite ugly, the secretary quickly replied. "Please rest assured, even if the vent is damaged, there are a large number of high-pressure air bottles stored in the underground storage room. The air in them is enough to last this underground fortification for seven days."

Vice President Truman was somewhat relieved to hear that at least they wouldn't suffocate to death. "Everyone, the Germans..." Before he could finish his words, the panic-stricken Secretary of State rushed into the conference room and shouted. "Everyone! The European fleet has departed! I just received an urgent message from the ambassador to Sweden. All fleets in European military ports have departed!!"

"!!" Everyone was shocked. The German just dropped a "super bomb" and the fleet set off? As for these fleets, no need to ask, they must have come to the United States to launch a landing campaign.

Marshall couldn't help but feel a little thankful. "It seems like what I expected. The Germans cannot produce this kind of 'super bomb' on a large scale." If they could produce it, the Germans would never drop just one bomb. "Obviously they want to use this 'super bomb' and the fleet to force us to surrender. They also underestimate our determination!"

Vice President Truman was still a little confused. Why did the Germans not drop this super bomb on the defense line, but in an empty city? A bomb destroying a city is scary enough, but it didn't scare them into surrendering, right?

After much deliberation, I couldn't figure out the Germans' intentions, so I could only worry about the immediate problem first. "How is our defense going?"

"It's barely completed, and we have deployed a large number of mines near the coastline. It will not be easy for the European coalition forces to land."

"..." Vice President Truman could only pray in his heart that as Marshall said, their defense line could block two or three waves of attacks by the European coalition forces and strive for a decent peace.

"Of course there will be no decent peace." In the Berlin Palace, Yannick held Alice in one hand and gently tapped the United States on the huge map on the ground with the other hand, and said to Queen Elizabeth who was holding Auston next to her. "The United States can only end up like the Soviet Union, divided into dozens of pieces."

If the Americans had surrendered before, they might have left them some assets. Now that the whole of Europe has been mobilized, they have to strip the Americans of their assets. "If you want to leave them a piece of land, leave Kansas and Oklahoma." These are two adjacent states located in the center of the United States. When the time comes, European countries will divide the remaining states and surround these two states to see how they can still jump around. "I admire these guys. They didn't surrender even after being hit by an atomic egg." Is it because there were no casualties?

In the original time and space, Hiroshima suffered as many as 100,000 casualties after being hit by an atomic egg. This time, the atomic egg thrown at San Antonio caused almost no casualties. He heard that the residents in the city had already fled, and even if some people stayed, they were only a few.

"Will the landing operation go smoothly? Will there be a lot of casualties?" Queen Elizabeth asked with some concern. This time, Britain sent 200,000 expeditionary forces, and she didn't want to see these soldiers suffer heavy casualties.

Yannick said easily. "Of course it will go smoothly. A nuclear bomb will be used in the landing battle."

"To bomb the US defense line?"

"No, just throw one into the sea. The shock wave of the explosion will form a terrible tsunami, clearing the mines deployed by the Americans and flooding their defense lines." When the American soldiers on the defense line see the bombers, they will hide in the underground fortifications. What they will wait for is not bombs, but terrible tsunamis. I'm afraid those poor soldiers will all be buried in the underground fortifications.
