Chapter 1676: I have to work hard (ask for a monthly ticket)
"Gentlemen, I have to admit that before the Germans attacked Newfoundland, I fantasized that the Germans could fight the Americans desperately in the Caribbean. This is very useful for preserving our strength. After all, now The British Empire is not what it was 30 years ago. It is very difficult for us to accumulate such a small fortune.
However, now that the Germans have captured Newfoundland. Then, we will undoubtedly become the first target of the Germans to be eliminated. This leaves us with no choice. If you want to keep the British Empire, you have to fight the Germans, or even fight the Germans desperately. Only in this way can we possibly continue to preserve our country. Otherwise, our country will cease to exist! "
Churchill said to the marshals and generals of the British Army, Navy and Air Force with a serious face.
All the generals nodded again and again. If they could, they certainly didn't want to go to war with the Germans. The Germans are too tough, even stronger than the last world war. This makes many people full of fear about Germany. They are ahead, and they also hope that the Americans can be at the top. In this way, they can preserve their strength.
But unfortunately, who made the Germans choose to attack Newfoundland? That made the battle inevitable. As Prime Minister Churchill said, if you don't want the British Empire to be destroyed, you must fight the Germans desperately.
"I know that our enemy is very powerful. With our strength, it is not enough to fight against the Germans. However, we must try our best to resist the German attack. Our American allies will also do their best to assist us Yes. The combination of our two countries may not be without strength against the Germans. After all, this is North America, and this is our home field. We have a great advantage." Prime Minister Churchill said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. We are now expanding our military strength. Once our army is expanded to two million. And our American allies can expand their army to ten million. In that case, on the battlefield in North America, we It will occupy a huge advantage. If it goes well, it is not impossible to defeat the Germans on the North American battlefield." Sir Cyril John de Frere said.
"As long as the Americans don't want to use us as cannon fodder and our two countries can unite, it is entirely possible to defeat the Germans." Baron Ironside also said.
The other generals also nodded repeatedly.
"Very well, it would be best if everyone is confident. I believe that at such a critical juncture, the United States will no longer have reservations. After all, this battle is not only related to our life and death, but also to the The life and death of the United States. No matter what, the Americans will do their best just like us." Prime Minister Churchill said.
"Gentlemen, the 1st Army of the U.S. Army is almost here. The 2nd Army they dispatched is already on the way. It's all due to the **** snowstorm, which has greatly affected the railway capacity. Otherwise, the U.S. Army will easily We will send more reinforcements to arrive. In that case, we will have enough strength to deal with the Germans." David Magson said.
The generals of the British Army, Navy and Air Force are very concerned about the support of the United States. They know very well that without the support of the United States, it is impossible for them to confront Germany. Therefore, the support of the United States is very important to them, and it has even become a source of confidence in confronting Germany.
"Your Excellency, General Marshall has arrived." The secretary reported.
"Everyone, let's end the meeting here. Your Excellency Magson, Sir Defrier and Baron Ironside stay here, and everyone else returns to their posts." Prime Minister Churchill ordered.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister." All the generals, those who were not named, left the meeting room.
Soon, General Marshall, Chief of Staff of the US Army, and Major General Eisenhower, Chief of Operations of the US Army Staff, walked into Prime Minister Churchill's office.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, welcome to Toronto." Prime Minister Churchill said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am very happy to come to Toronto as a guest. But if I change the time, I am afraid I would be more happy to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Toronto. But unfortunately, I don't have that time and mood now." Admiral Marshall said.
"Blame those **** Germans! If it weren't for them, what's wrong with world peace?" Prime Minister Churchill cursed.
"Yeah, blame the Germans!" Admiral Marshall also sighed.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the Germans are massively increasing their troops to Newfoundland. It is very likely that they will continue to attack. However, it may be very difficult to stop the Germans with our army alone. Therefore, we need the United States The Chinese side can send us more reinforcements," said Prime Minister Churchill.
"Your Excellency, there is no problem. We have already dispatched the 1st Army to Canada, and the 2nd Army is about to leave. The follow-up 3rd Army and 4th Army will also set off soon. However, this The **** weather has greatly affected the marching speed of our army. Therefore, before our large troops arrive, I am afraid that the British side will need to do their best to resist the German attack." Admiral Marshall said with some helplessness.
This is not that the United States wants to borrow a knife to kill people. At this juncture, they have no longer cared about being cautious. Once Britain collapses, they will have to deal with the Germans alone, which is definitely not what they like to see. Therefore, the United States also hopes to fight side by side with the British and defeat the Germans.historical
Prime Minister Churchill nodded, he knew that Admiral Marshall was telling the truth.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we are ready to fight the Germans desperately. But the Germans are too strong. Therefore, even if we work hard, we may not be able to withstand their attack." Prime Minister Churchill said.
"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. Not only you have to work hard, but we also have to work hard." Admiral Marshall said.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I hope that your country can send more troops to reinforce us as soon as possible." Prime Minister Churchill said.
"Of course, we will do our best." Admiral Marshall said.
"After the arrival of your country's 1st Army, we hope to be able to deploy to the Nova Scotia peninsula. There, I am afraid that it will become the main target of the German attack."
Admiral Marshall nodded with a serious face.
