Chapter 1110: The United States Breathes a Sigh of Relief (Supplement 2)
The construction of the German Navy is really too strong and overwhelming the United States.
The United States is a new continent, and its biggest advantage is its geographical location, and it is not close to anyone, and in World War II in history, it is also because of its superior geographical location that the United States can calmly stay out of the matter, fight if it wants, and ignore it if it wants.
However, there was a premise for that, and that was the weak German navy.
Historically, the German Navy has always been constrained by the British Navy, which led to the destruction of submarines as the main means in the end, and as a result, the wolves in the Atlantic Ocean were easily defeated by the United States.
But now it is different, Germany has become the hegemon of Europe, integrating the forces of various European countries, and Germany's naval construction is simply turned upside down, and the aircraft carriers and battleships are constantly launched, which makes the United States feel great pressure.
Therefore, although in the Pacific Ocean, the United States was beaten badly by the island countries, but the United States just cannot use all its naval forces to fight the island countries, and the United States must also allocate half of its fleet to defend in the Atlantic.
In recent times, the German Navy has been constantly wandering in the Atlantic, causing the US Navy to even avoid war, and going around in circles with the German Navy in the Atlantic, just for fear of being crippled by the German Navy.
In that case, the United States will be completely finished.
Now, at last, I am no longer afraid.
Germany launched an attack on the Soviet Union, and the two fierce beasts on land finally fought.
There will be a war between Germany and the Soviet Union, which is also the inference of the American leadership, but the question is, when will the war start? If the Germans plan to destroy the United States first and then fight the Soviet Union, then the prospects for the United States are absolutely not optimistic.
Now, the situation is finally starting to improve, and the Germans are actually on the bar with the USSR!
This is definitely good news for the United States, allowing the Soviets to consume the strength of the Germans and prepare for their own counteroffensive!
As if a gust of wind had blown away the gloom of the past few days, Roosevelt had a rare smile on his face: "Next, let's watch the war in the Old World, watch the battle between the two behemoths, and at the same time, we must be ready to support the Soviets." ”
If the war between the two sides is in Belarus and in Ukraine, then the United States just needs to watch from the sidelines, but such a situation is very difficult to happen, and the most likely scenario is that the Germans will be overwhelmed and use the advantage of the blitzkrieg to defeat the Soviet Union.
At this time, the United States must hurry up to give the Soviet Union a blood transfusion, and it can't watch Germany win, right? If the Soviet Union loses, then the United States may not be able to win the duel with Germany, and if the Soviet Union is integrated, then Germany will really be invincible in the world.
Now, the United States finally does not have to worry about the situation in the Atlantic Ocean and can concentrate on dealing with the island countries, and now it seems that the situation in the Pacific Ocean is already quite bad.
After the defeat in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the siege of Australia by the island nation did not stop, and once the islanders captured Australia, it would be quite dangerous for George VI, who is still in India.
This group of people is so stubborn that they have to wait for the opportunity to counterattack in India, but they are unwilling to retreat anymore.
Roosevelt began to frown again.
The Indian subcontinent is really thrilling.
Originally, Germany had reached a secret agreement with the Soviet Union to divide the Indian subcontinent and give the Soviets access to the Indian Ocean.
For the Soviet Union, this was a great attraction, but this plan was not put into action in the end, because the Soviet Union's thunderstorm plan required the concentration of national forces, and the Soviet Union was really unable to open up a new battlefield when the Finnish problem had not been solved and the Iranian war was defeated.
So it dragged on, and Churchill and others were able to stay in India to resist.
When he heard that the Germans had begun to invade the Soviet Union, Churchill was also extremely excited, and hurriedly jumped out to give a speech, but unfortunately he was already in the world situation and could not play much role.
Now the eyes of the whole world are looking at Eastern Europe, at the areas where the Soviet Union and Germany were at war.
Brest, fired the first shot of the war against the USSR.
When the shelling was over, and it was still pitch black all around, the troops behind Brest continued to pass through the fortress and enter the territory of the Soviet Union.
The huge second armored cluster, through the fortress, one tank after another, crushed the Soviet land.
The 2nd Panzer Group was an important fist of the Central Route Army, with the 1st SS Panzer Corps as the sharp knife, and also under the jurisdiction of the 3rd, 17th, and 18th Panzer Divisions, which totaled about 3,800 battle tanks.
This armored cluster is almost the number of all the first armored forces of the German attack on the Soviet Union in history, and unlike the historical situation with No. 3 and No. 4 tanks as the main force, the current tank cluster is quite strong in combat.
Most of the tank divisions are equipped with Panther 3 tanks, and some sharp knife units have begun to replace with Tiger tanks.
For example, the 1st Panzer Army.
The 1st Panzer Division of the Waffen-SS, named after the great Führer Hitler, was expanded into the Panzer Corps!
And Joseph Dietrich, who became the commander of the 1st Panzer Army, commanded his troops during the last Brest conflict, rushed through the forest, surrounded the city of Brest, and captured Pavlov.
After that, his troops pretended to leave the place, but in fact continued to stay, until now, finally, they could no longer be afraid and could do a good job!
And now, Dietrich went one step further and became the commander of the entire 2nd Panzer Group, and as an experienced tank commander, he did not stay in the rear, but in the 1st Panzer Army in front, charging with his own troops.
The essence of Blitzkrieg is high mobility, they have to complete an unprecedented tank encirclement, together with the third armored group in the north, encircle hundreds of thousands of people in the Western Special Military District of the Soviet Union in Belarus, and then eat them.
Thinking of this goal, Dietrich felt his blood boiling, in contrast, in Poland, in France, it was all a small fight, now it is their big stage!
Overhead, the rumble of airplanes was heard, and in order to support the dispatch of tank troops, the air force carried out high-intensity bombing, and they wanted to completely destroy the opposing air force.
At the forefront of the armored division, it was still their fist unit, the Tiger tank of the 1st Heavy Armored Battalion, running fast.
By daybreak, they had already rushed to Kobrin, the first line of defense in the rear of the Soviet border guards.
