Age of Rebirth

"General Stimson, please calm down! The staff has no choice but to deal with it like this!" Admiral Jeffrey calmed down the matter and persuaded that the decision was made by the President, but the telegram to the Southwest Border Defense Command was I, the Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command during the war, ordered it, and the scapegoat is definitely on my back.

However, such persuasion obviously couldn't extinguish Admiral Stimson's anger, "I can't calm down... 10,000+ soldiers were completely ruined just because of a telegram from your General Jeffrey, you said , can I still calm down?"

Admiral Stimson was indeed unable to calm down, and was so angry that he could hardly control his emotions. According to his own plan, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the first line of defense on the southwestern border were divided into two, and one of them was sent to the Jedi—— On the west coast, in the Japanese-occupied area, he has already got the wrong number of "Cruel Minister", and there are many criticisms behind it.

Another part of the troops took the sea route, retreated to the eastern region, sacrificed one part, and saved the other part of the troops. If it succeeded, it would be a satisfactory result. This was the original intention of the plan. Tian was chased like a rabbit by the Japanese army several times its size, and it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.

The 10,000+ troops that broke through to the east were encircled by the Germans in the Dallas area, and then the entire army was wiped out. The reason turned out to be that the staff of the Supreme Command during the war did not allow the Southwest Border Defense Command to send troops to rescue. This is a good thing, Southwest All the troops on the first line of defense at the border were completely wiped out!

A plan to break out.I took it out by myself, and all the hundreds of thousands of soldiers were wiped out by the German army, and the responsibility will fall on myself.How could Admiral Stimson not be extremely angry in his heart, not to mention, among the breakout troops on the East Road, including his own brother, he served as the commander of an infantry division, and now only God knows whether he was killed in battle or captured!

Admiral Stimson continued to roar: "General Jeffrey. As the chief of staff, you must be responsible for this matter. Sit back and watch. More than [-] troops less than three days away from Oklahoma City were surrounded by the German army. You It's dereliction of duty, it's a crime..." But then, his words came to an abrupt end, as if cut off by a gate.Because he sees it.President Roosevelt rocked his wheelchair and entered the war room.

"Stimson, why don't you growl?" Roosevelt's sallow face was full of chills, and his tone was as cold as ice, "It was my decision not to rescue the Ninth Army, do you want to Hold me accountable?"

Roosevelt's words.With a huge coercion, the momentum of power.It’s not something Admiral Stimson can resist. The current President Roosevelt, without the restraint and constraints of Congress, will move the interest groups that control the political, military and economic lifelines of the United States to Canada and put them in a cage. It's a trivial matter for a centralized figure covering the sky with one hand to deal with a minister of the army!

"Mr. President, you, you are serious!" Admiral Stimson said with a sip, "I didn't mean that..."

"Okay!" Roosevelt raised his hand, not intending to get entangled in this matter any longer, and turned his face to ask: "Jeffrey, are the German troops currently on the southwestern border doing anything?"

When Roosevelt appeared, he immediately extinguished Admiral Stimson's anger. Admiral Jeffrey breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly replied: "Mr. President, the German army has not made any obvious moves so far!"

"Where's the Japanese army on the defense line of the Delela Mountains in the west? What's new?" Roosevelt asked again.

"Still maintaining a strong offensive posture, but the line of defense is still in our hands!" Admiral Jeffrey replied succinctly.

"It's impossible to be so calm!" Roosevelt's eyes flashed with thought, and he said: "From now on, all the attention of the staff department will be on the movement of the German troops in the direction of Phoenix, and any changes must be reported in time. Give me!"

At 200 o'clock in the morning of the next day, nearly [-] million German troops who had stopped attacking the inland of the United States began to act according to the order of the headquarters. Among them, the three army troops deployed in the direction of Phoenix quickly went north to attack, The vanguard moved out of Grants, and together with an army unit on the front line of Santa Fe, the troops headed straight for Denver.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Duluth, the wartime capital of the United States, was still immersed in the twilight of dawn. President Roosevelt was temporarily stationed. The phone in the living room rang suddenly. A staff officer on duty answered the phone. After hearing a few words, he hurried to Mr. President's bedroom. The call was from General Jeffrey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

"Mr. President! Mr. President!" The staff officer yelled in a low voice, "General Jeffrey is calling with an urgent military report!"

Roosevelt, who had a very light sleep, suddenly woke up. With the help of the guards, he went to the living room in a wheelchair, picked up the phone, and said calmly, "I am Roosevelt, Jeffrey. What is the emergency?"

"Mr. President, the staff received exact information 10 minutes ago!" Admiral Jeffrey took a breath and continued: "The German troops in the direction of Phoenix, together with the German troops in the direction of Santa Fe, went north to attack. , Judging from the route of the German attack, the target is Denver and Cheyenne and other places!"

"Are you sure? The Germans are attacking Denver and Cheyenne, not Salt Lake City?" President Roosevelt's eyes suddenly glowed brightly, and his body leaned forward suddenly, as if he wanted to swallow the phone in his stomach.

"It is certain that traces of German armored troops have been found in Raton, Alamosa and other places south of Denver. Our local garrison troops are being ordered to retreat!" Admiral Jeffrey replied affirmatively.

A huge dizziness enveloped Roosevelt in an instant. He held the phone tightly in his hand and felt that he was so nervous that he could hardly breathe. The Germans finally made a move, not to attack Salt Lake City, but to attack Denver And Cheyenne, that flashpoint, the flashpoint that could save America from subjugation, finally appeared!

His desperate gamble finally had a chance of winning. For a while, Roosevelt's thinking was a little confused.

On the other end of the phone, Admiral Jeffrey held his breath and did not say a word. He could hear the rapid breathing of the President. He did not know what the President was thinking, but as far as he knew, the President at this moment, A difficult and important decision is being made and should not be interrupted.

After a while, Roosevelt finally said, "Jeffrey, first, in the name of the supreme wartime command, immediately order the American troops on the front lines of Denver and Cheyenne not to block the advance of the German army, but to retreat quickly to Peel and Bismarck must retreat without hesitation!"

"Second, in the name of the wartime supreme command, give an order to Custer, the commander of the Western Delera Mountains Defense Line. From now on, all troops on the western defense line, including the Canadian forces, must obey the wartime supreme commander. Thirdly, the communications department of the Supreme Headquarters during the war, immediately communicate with the headquarters of each division of the western battlefield forces, to ensure that I can directly communicate with those division commanders!"

"Fourth, from now on, the movement of the German troops going northward in Phoenix will be collected every two hours, and the staff will summarize and judge, and I will rush to the headquarters immediately!"

The German troops attacking Denver from Phoenix to the north went very smoothly, because along the way, the U.S. military gave up all blocking and resistance, and quickly retreated towards the southern border of Canada. The vanguard of the German Seventh Army, the No.15 Mechanized Army, with the cooperation of a tank division, occupied Denver without bloodshed.

At this moment, Denver has basically become an empty city. There is no American soldier in the city, only a few citizens who are unwilling to relocate to Canada, hiding behind the windows of their homes, looking at the German tanks in horror. , trucks and artillery, as well as infantry in neat formations, drove into the urban area. I don't know what fate they will face next?

With a murderous look, the elite German troops rushed to Denver. They planned to be on the front line of Denver and teach the Americans a lesson. However, the enemy has run away without a trace, which makes the Seventh Army No. Lieutenant General Erich, commander of the 15th Mechanized Army, was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

Gathering up all his strength, he punched out without any target being hit, quite a sense of weightlessness. The No.15 mechanized army has been stationed in the Phoenix area for too long, and it has been lonely for too long!

"Damn Americans, they run faster than rabbits!" Lieutenant General Erich muttered, "Report to Commander Rommel immediately, my No.15 mechanized army has successfully occupied Denver, and the US military abandoned Denver, therefore, Our department did not engage in any form of fighting with the U.S. military!"

After receiving the report, Marshal Rommel couldn't help being puzzled. Denver is the defender of the defense line of the Dillerah Mountains in the west of the US military. Once it falls, it will threaten the safety of Salt Lake City. As long as he sends a few divisions to attack Salt Lake City The western defense line of the US military that blocked the Japanese for several months will collapse in an instant, but I will not send troops to attack Salt Lake City.

"The Americans actually gave up defending Denver. Why did they do that?" Marshal Rommel thought hard for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out, but the abnormal behavior of the Americans did not affect his established plan.

Lieutenant General Erich, commander of the No.15 Mechanized Corps of the German Seventh Army, directly received an order from the Supreme Commander, Marshal Rommel, "Occupy Denver with a small number of your troops, and immediately march northward to attack Cheyenne! "

More than two days later, Cheyenne fell into the hands of the German army in the same way. The city that had not been devastated by the war welcomed the German army's entry into the city intact.
