Age of Rebirth

Marshal Rommel was no longer surprised by the occupation of Cheyenne without firing a single shot. The US military abandoned Denver, and the Americans would not stick to Cheyenne, which is only more than 100 kilometers away. Not as good as it is not conducive to defense.

Now that the Americans moved out of the way, Marshal Rommel was happy to reap the rewards. Occupying Denver and Cheyenne was the sole purpose of this attack. He ordered the troops to continue the northward attack, aiming to capture Peel and Bismarck and reach the southern border of Canada. Final goal.

The wartime capital of the United States, a small town on the northeast border—Duluth, the War Room of the U.S. Wartime Supreme Command, except for President Roosevelt, almost all the generals of the wartime Supreme Command were concentrated here. It is these People hold the destiny of America in their hands.

"Mr. President, our army has successively abandoned Denver and Cheyenne and other places, which has made the German army advance northward at an extremely fast speed. Now, the German troops occupying Cheyenne have begun to cross the Platte River one after another. The intention to attack Peel is very obvious. !” General Jeffrey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command during the war, swallowed hard after reporting the battle situation, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"Also, the current second line of defense on the southwestern border is being heavily attacked by the German army. Among them, the German army's attack is the most violent in the direction of Oklahoma City. In addition, Baton Rouge and Monroe are also The main target of the German army's attack, the staff is worried that the German army that successfully occupied the central region will turn around and attack eastward, breaking through our second line of defense from the flank!" Admiral Jeffrey reported to the southwestern border. The situation on the second line of defense.

In general.The situation on the battlefield is very severe. Fortunately, the Japanese are still blocked on the west side of the defense line of the Dilela Mountains in the west.Otherwise, the situation will be even worse, but once the German army completely occupies the central region, the defense line of the Dillerah Mountains in the west will be placed between the front and rear of the Germans and Japanese, and it will be a matter of time before they fall!

Not just Admiral Jeffrey, but the faces of other senior generals of the Supreme Command during the war.They are all ugly to death. They don't understand why President Roosevelt made such a decision.Abandoning Denver and Cheyenne in succession allowed the Germans to drive straight into the Midlands, and now Peale was under the attack of the Germans again.Duluth, the wartime capital.It is not safe anymore. What is Mr. President thinking?

If it weren't for Roosevelt's current concentration of power, these professional soldiers would definitely jump up and accuse him. In the eyes of these senior US military generals, the series of decisions made by Mr. President are just people who don't understand military affairs and are directing blindly.

From Phoenix in the south to Denver and Cheyenne in the middle.The battlefield is thousands of kilometers deep, and it is entirely possible to adopt the tactics of resisting every step and blocking every step.Gradually consume the offensive momentum and strength of the German army, and slow down the advance speed of the German army. After the Germans hit Denver and Cheyenne and other places, they have almost become exhausted soldiers. Then, we will study the next step of countermeasures!

Fortunately, Mr. President gave an order to abandon Denver and Cheyenne. The central region is tantamount to opening the door. The Germans marched northward without bloodshed. Now, Peel is about to face the German attack again. There is something wrong with the look in his eyes!

It is equal to the eyes and inner thoughts of the generals. President Roosevelt naturally knows the meaning contained in it. He does not want to explain, and there is no need to explain, "Jeffrey, your staff should pay close attention to the leading troops of the German army. Report to me as soon as the Germans arrive at Merriman, southwest of Peel!"

"An order is issued. From now on, the Supreme Wartime Command will take over the command of the Western Defense Command. The Defense Command will be abolished. The commander, Lieutenant General Custer, will be reassigned as the executive inspector of the Western Front. On the Western Battlefield The commanders of all divisions, including the Canadian Forces, immediately activate the communication code and report the situation on the battlefield to the Supreme Staff!"

The senior generals of the Supreme Command during the war almost fainted, and these words almost popped out of their minds, "What is Mr. President doing? Isn't this a random manipulation?"

The wartime Supreme Command, which was thousands of kilometers away, could have Lieutenant General Custer, the commander of the Western Defense Command, who was on the front line. A unified command structure, with the wartime supreme command directly commanding the divisions?

Wait, isn't it Mr. President, who doesn't understand military affairs, who wants to command the troops on the western battlefield to fight?If this is the case, there will be more than 100 million U.S. and Canadian troops on the western battlefield, but they will all be accounted for!

General Stimson, Secretary of the Army Department, is the most important senior general in the US Army except General Jeffrey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He couldn't help saying: "Mr. President, please think twice. At such a critical moment, withdraw The unified command organization on the battlefield, the Western Defense Command, is unwise in the first place!"

"Now, the wartime supreme command has to directly command troops thousands of kilometers away. I personally think that this is absolutely impossible. The wartime supreme command does not know the specific situation on the front line. How can it be based on the battlefield situation? The actual situation, make the most accurate judgment? Issue the correct order?"

It is also because of Roosevelt's strong prestige, otherwise, Admiral Stimson would definitely accuse him of being nonsense. How could you, a civilian president, be proficient in military command and treat yourself as a superman?

Roosevelt glanced coldly at the general, but he didn't speak. It was this glance that made the veteran general Stimson feel chills. He saw that there was a murderous intent in Mr. President's eyes. Don't look at yourself as a paralyzed man in a wheelchair, but this person holds the military and political power of the United States, and life and death are just a matter of words!

"Listen up, all of you. In the name of the commander of the Supreme Command during the war, I announce that General Jeffrey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is fully responsible for all matters on the western battlefield and executes my orders! During this period, I I don’t want to hear any voices of opposition and interference!” Roosevelt said sharply, then shook his wheelchair and left.

Now that Roosevelt has spoken, other senior generals can muster up the courage to sing against the president. Of course not, the communication between the US Supreme Command and the US and Canadian divisional commanders on the western battlefield will be opened immediately. From this moment on, the fate of more than one million soldiers of the US and Canadian troops on the defense line of the Delera Mountains was all tied to Roosevelt who was thousands of kilometers away!

"Baga! Despicable Germans!" Admiral Yamamoto roared angrily, and slammed a piece of information on the face of a rear admiral, "This is the intelligence headquarters of your fleet, the information you gave to me? Why did the Germans advance so quickly after they had already taken Denver and Cheyenne?"

General Yamamoto was going crazy. According to his original idea, thousands of bombers would blow up the bridges and highways leading to Denver and Cheyenne. Time, don't even think about getting close to places like Denver.

But now the news is that the Germans occupied Denver and Cheyenne in just over nine days. After receiving the report, General Yamamoto was almost stunned. The plan to attack Salt Lake City clearly shows their ambition to monopolize the central region of the United States!

In fact, no matter what method the Germans used, it took only about nine days to occupy Denver and Cheyenne. For General Yamamoto, it didn't make much sense. Blocked on the west side of the defense line of the Delela Mountains, I can only watch helplessly. The Germans marched northward, occupied the central region of the United States, and lost their temper with Rear Admiral Tada, the head of the Joint Fleet Intelligence Headquarters. It's just a helpless performance!

Major General Tada, who was slapped in the face by General Yamamoto, didn't know the commander's true thoughts at the moment. He stood up straight and replied: "According to the intelligence, the Germans used a large number of new road construction machines, and they also With the great assistance of the Mexicans, the damaged roads and bridges can be repaired in the shortest possible time!"

"In addition, we also received information that the US troops in Denver and Cheyenne did not resist at all. Therefore, the speed of the Germans' northward advance is so fast!"

"Huh?" General Yamamoto's face suddenly changed, and countless possibilities emerged in his mind. He waved his hand and told Major General Tada, who had been scolded, to leave quickly. Then, he looked at General Nanye who had never said a word. , asked: "Nanye-kun, what do you think?"

"Alas!" General Nanye sighed, shook his head and said, "Yamamoto-kun, it seems that we are still a step too late. After the Germans occupied Denver and Cheyenne, they had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the central United States. It's unstoppable!"

"In the next step, the Germans will definitely take advantage of us being blocked on the west side of the Delera Mountains to speed up the pace of occupying the central part of the United States. They will definitely continue to advance northward. The only chance to stop the Germans is the Imperial Army. Today, the * team has completely broken through the American defenses and marched into the central region of the United States, the time is not too late!"

"But, Yamamoto-kun, do we have this possibility?" Admiral Minano asked rhetorically.

General Yamamoto shook his head bitterly. Both of them were silent. The pain and loss, helplessness and anger in their hearts were biting like poisonous snakes. An insurmountable obstacle blocked the advance of the imperial army of the Japanese Empire, and they watched the Germans effortlessly take the central region of the United States into their pockets!

General Yamamoto and General Minamino both thought of the same question, "The Germans occupied the central part of the United States first, how should I explain to His Majesty the Emperor?"
