Chapter 493: The Dawn of Victory

"I promise that I will not interfere in the war in the Old Continent, and this has nothing to do with us, the United States. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After two hours of accountability from Congress, Roosevelt, exhausted, finally made this promise to the delegates.

What does not interfere in the Old Continent has nothing to do with the United States, and the current war in the Old Continent is self-inflicted by Britain and France.

"I will strictly abide by the Act of Independence." Roosevelt said, "We are now only looking at the war in Europe." ”

This group of idiots, with only interests in their eyes, Germany has given a lot of benefits to American companies, but after all, if Germany is dominant, it will not do any good to the United States, and if Germany unifies Europe, it will be a disaster for the United States.

Although Roosevelt could see it, he couldn't show it now, the United States didn't need militants to come to power, he still wanted to be president for another round!

After staggering back to his office, he saw his assistant Hull.

"Mr. President, the German army is moving extremely fast." "Their attacks on Belgium and the McMahon Line were feints, and their main forces, through the Ardennes Forest, penetrated into French territory, and now the British expeditionary forces remaining in Belgium and Holland, as well as the main French forces, are at risk of being surrounded!" ”

Germany, having not made the mistakes of the First World War, their war in France itself, went quite well.

"Also, we have just received news that the main British fleet has been routed in a duel between the Atlantic and the German fleet."

Both news, both bad news! Roosevelt looked out the window at the sunset and muttered, "America, how long can you stay out?" If Germany subdues Britain, will the United States be able to stand alone? ”

Although the last paragraph of Ciric's speech on the Deutschland was extremely sincere, as if he was courting the United States, Roosevelt knew that once Germany conquered Britain, a united Europe under the leadership of Germany would definitely be the greatest threat to the United States.

It's a pity that now, I can't help Britain right away!

Berlin.

After finishing his speech on the Deutschland, Ciric returned to Berlin again, his itinerary was very busy, after all, the current war is related to Germany's national fortunes for a hundred years!

"Our entire Army Group A has crossed the Maas River, and now, there is nothing left to stop our advance." General Keitel said to Ciric.

It was Rommel's troops who were the first to cross the Maas River, and after Rommel's time, the British and French tried to turn the tide with air raids, and within a few days, an air battle of unprecedented scale broke out over the Maas River.

Under the cover of fighter planes, British and French bombers went straight to the crossing of the Maas River, while the Germans dispatched about five wings of fighters to intercept them, and each side put in more than 500 planes. After two days of fighting, the British and French air forces, which suffered heavy losses, had to withdraw from the battle, and the German pontoon bridges were all intact.

With the help of these pontoon bridges, the German troops completely crossed the Maas River, which was a great victory!

The Maas River was also a natural barrier between Britain and France, and when the Maas River moat was overcome, there was nothing left to stop the German army from attacking.

After crossing the Maas River, the 1st Panzer Division advanced rapidly westward, crossing the Ardennes Canal at dusk on the 14th, cutting off the connection between the French 2nd and 9th Armies.

And Rommel's Panzer Division, the vanguard, swooped towards the English Channel, and the target was Dunkirk! The speed of the advance of the armored forces was unexpected, and the tank units in full force, advancing in the empty rear of the British and French, were almost like crossing the road on their own territory.

The French, as well as the British and Belgian heavy armies, were encircled in the narrow strip between Dunkirk and Matz, and their connection with the south of France was completely severed, which meant that the whole French war situation was irretrievable.

The whole conference room was filled with a happy atmosphere, before the start of the war, many commanders were hesitating, after all, Germany lost to France in the first war, and this time, Germany could not afford to lose at all.

And now, victory is already in sight!

"Great Führer, this conquest of France, you will go down in history as our greatest leader!" Brauchitsch said to Ciric.

In the past, Ciric has been behind the scenes, and the Germans admired the Führer Hitler the most, and now, with the conquest of France, Ciric's status will be truly doomed!

Not only the fanatical people, but also the loyal Waffen-SS, even the Wehrmacht, were full of admiration and absolute respect for Ciric, and now, even if Ciric wanted them to die, they would not hesitate to carry it out!

The time is ripe.

When the French campaign is over, Ciric will vigorously promote the generals who reassure him, and some of the Wehrmacht will be promoted, and at the same time, others will be retired.

The 720 incident in the future, the list of those people, is still in Ciric's mind, this kind of disloyal person, no matter how much he supports Cirek now, Cirek will never use it again.

In the past, he didn't continue to play with the matter of spies, because Ciric's foundation was not solid enough, but now, he is absolutely raising his arms, and the ringers are gathered.

"Now, we don't have to worry about the victory of the French campaign, we are worried about the retreat of the British and French troops." "After we have surrounded the main forces of the British and French, they will definitely break through, and our goal is to completely destroy them!" ”

The historical retreat of Dunkirk was still in Ciric's mind, originally, the German army could completely kill the British and French troops, but unfortunately, they were all disrupted by Goering.

At the critical moment, the German Army was ordered to suspend its advance and give Goering's air force a stage to show, but as a result, the air force was simply unable to stop the determination of the British, and a large number of troops under the command of Churchill retreated to the British mainland.

Without the retreat of these armies, then the German plan to attack Britain would have been greatly reduced, and it can be said that this group of new forces kept Britain, and, later, crossed the English Channel again, set foot on the European continent, and destroyed Germany.

Of course, Ciric will not let this happen again, and Ciric's goal is to hit the British mainland! Only by occupying Britain could we avoid fighting on two fronts and launch an offensive to the east with confidence.

"Regardless of the south of France, our Waffen-SS and our Army Group A will have the main objective of eating the Anglo-French forces in the north." "At the same time, in order to prevent them from breaking through, we want to set up a joint command structure of the three armed services," Ciric said. ”
