Chapter 1701: Make a circle
The eastern part of Mexico is the Gulf of Mexico, which is a peaceful and peaceful bay surrounded by the United States in the north, the Florida peninsula in the east, and the Mexican peninsula in the south. The two peninsulas almost surround the harbor. Get up, leaving the Yucatan Strait.
The sea passage in the middle was blocked by the islands of Cuba and the Bahamas, that is to say, there are islands all around!
Under this circumstance, it is quite difficult for a large number of German landing ships to cross the star-studded sea area of ??this island and successfully land in Mexico.
From a distance, it can be discovered. Even if the Americans do not react at first, they will react immediately in the follow-up. The army's mobilization will take time, the aviation will be fast, and the route will be easily blocked.
You know, to conquer the United States, it will require millions of troops. Even if it is an early stage, at least more than half a million troops must be sent. The ammunition supplies for these troops are all astronomical. Therefore, cargo ships need to go back and forth and continue to transport.
Now, this route is easily blocked, which means that even if the landing is completed in advance, it will face the risk of failure due to poor supply in the later stage.
As the first general to follow Cyric and as the father of blitzkrieg Guderian who led the reform of the army and created a new style of blitzkrieg, his worries are not unreasonable.
Now Guderian said his worries.
I heard that everyone nodded frequently. If you go to Mexico by sea, it seems that there are these risks. Some of them don't work. Looking at the dense islands in that sea, many people are surprised.
Impossible, why can't Führer Cyric see such an obvious question?
Cyric also nodded.
When I chose Mexico as a springboard, I have already noticed this problem. Landing on the east coast of Mexico is quite cumbersome and not conducive to concealment. But who stipulates that landing from the east coast of Mexico is required?
Just turn your gaze again and look at the west coast of Mexico, which is near the Pacific Ocean, where it is extremely empty and unobstructed!
Now, everyone present is at the highest level of the empire, and they already know the level of their next plan. Now that they know that Mexico has obeyed, the next ones can be announced.
"We walked in the South Atlantic Ocean, first assembled in Argentina, then, from Argentina, turned around into the Pacific Ocean, and landed from the west of Mexico." Cyric's words immediately made everyone present suddenly start.
Landing from eastern Mexico is definitely unrealistic. The follow-up supplies were cut off. The troops who landed earlier were the turtles in the urn.
On the contrary, the line formulated by the head of Cyric has great reality.
In the eyes of the Americans, Germany mainly intends to land from Canada, so the focus will be on the North Atlantic, while Germany, a large number of landing ships and transport ships, have left the South Atlantic. In this way, the Americans do not know anything.
Regardless of the mighty and mighty fleet, when it was placed in the ocean, it was a small spot that was impossible to detect at all. It would be a problem in later generations, let alone now.
Argentina, Germany's closest partner in South America, has long made various promises, waiting for Germany's needs.
Argentina will become a temporary stop for the fleet, a supply point, and even various strategic materials can be stored in Argentina in advance.
Even if the U.S. intelligence system pays attention, it will not care. After all, if it is pushed back from Argentina, South America will be able to fight for a few months, and the United States has plenty of time to respond.
As a result, the German team appeared in Mexico.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Guderian’s face. In this case, his own landing would have peace of mind. The strength of the American navy, even the control of the Atlantic, would not be able to take over, let alone a slip in South America. Circled.
The poor Americans spent a lot of money to build defense projects along the Atlantic coast.
Führer Cyric was the wisest and planned everything.
"Do you have any comments about my plan?" Cyric asked.
This is a sincere inquiry. In the past, every plan Cyric made was proved to be absolutely correct. Unconsciously, Cyric had become a god-like existence.
That was before, Cyric had known history to refer to, but now, there is no more reference. Every step must be considered carefully.
The others did not speak, not even Scherner had any opinion. When Cyric's eyes fell on Reinhardt, Reinhardt added a few words.
"We should contact local merchants now to store a large amount of food and other materials, and transport them from Europe ~www.novelhall.com~ It is more convenient to buy them locally," Reinhardt said.
Argentina has a lot of Germans, and quite a few of them are businessmen. It's too easy to contact them.
Cyric nodded.
"Also, in the southern part of Argentina, in the Drake Strait, the natural environment is quite harsh. We must be psychologically prepared."
If you want to shuttle between the Atlantic and the Pacific, you must either take the Panama Canal or you can only take this strait. The passage indicated by Cyric is to go around here.
The Drake Strait is located between the southernmost point of South America and the South Shetland Islands in Antarctica. It is adjacent to Chile and Argentina. It is an important strait connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean in the south, as well as the boundary between South America and Antarctica.
The strait is about 300 kilometers long from east to west and 970 kilometers wide from north to south. It is an important passage from all over the world to Antarctica. Due to the influence of polar cyclones, there are often squally winds and waves in the strait, sometimes as high as 10-20 meters. Icebergs that slide down from Antarctica often float in the strait, which brings difficulties to navigation.
It can be said that the sailing conditions are harsh. If you wait until February, which happens to be the summer in the southern hemisphere, there will be less ice floes there. Now, those floating ice floes are a test for passing ships.
"Yeah, we can't be too anxious about this matter. We must be fully prepared." Cyric said, "From now on, make a detailed plan!"
If you want to start a nationwide war, the plan started even a few years ago. Now, Germany has been waiting for Mexico's response. Now that Mexico has agreed, it will focus on Mexico and make detailed plans.
"Code name, ice cubes flowing." Cyric said again, looking at the large-scale map of the world. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
