Chapter 262: Crazy Pursuit (4)
After the British naval fleet broke away from the German submarine forces and was temporarily safe, the British operation to block the German troops in the African colonies was basically over, and Rommel's armored forces had advanced to the coast of South Africa, and the British resistance was basically routed.

Until Rommel's Panzer Division advanced to the coast, there were still many people boarding the ships to evacuate, but they were strafed and bombed by the Germans, and most of them were buried on the seashore except for a few who took advantage of the chaos to flee farther.
Suddenly, the beach was like a slaughterhouse, and the sea was also dyed red, and the waves washed the red water onto the sand, and the beach also dyed red.
And this also indicates that the British fled thousands of miles for the time being, and the Germans failed to annihilate the British, nor did they behead Churchill and the royal family, and the British retained a little seed for the former British Empire at a huge cost.
After the temporary end of the German-British battles, in the northern part of the Atlantic, the German pursuit of the Americans did not stop. Since there was no landing site in the north like in Africa, the Germans only had naval forces, which was the main reason why the Germans invested two-thirds of their naval forces in the past.
The German army's combat method was very simple, constantly sending heavy bombers from Britain to bomb various ports along the coast of Iceland, bombing the exposed US troops and other targets indiscriminately, and at the same time sending naval fleets to approach Iceland and then launch a powerful attack.
Fortunately, Iceland is a large island surrounded by the sea, so the Americans chose many retreat positions, and they also knew that they could not collide with the German navy here, so they scattered their personnel to retreat as much as possible.
If any of the evacuation points were targeted by the Germans, they would have to either wait for the Germans to vent before looking for an opportunity to evacuate, or they would have to move to other evacuation points.
As for the American transport ships that had already left by boat, the Germans sent submarines and some fast destroyers and cruisers to pursue them all the way.
This pursuit was only a few hundred kilometers away from the US mainland, but all that could be pursued here were submarines, and the surface fleet stopped at a distance of about 1,500 kilometers, because it had already entered the bombing range of the US land-based heavy bombers.
Although it failed to really threaten the American mainland, the Germans chased them all the way here, and they did scare the Americans, and the whole United States panicked, and the news that the Germans were going to land in the United States did not go away.
The retreat of the Americans, escorted by the Germans all the way, was also over, but it was ruthlessly stripped of a layer of skin.
After these people returned to the United States with great difficulty, after statistics, they only returned, less than 200,000 people, that is, nearly 200,000 people were lost on the way from Iceland to the United States. And this withdrew less than 200,000 people, less than 150,000 Americans, and the rest were people from other countries with them.
You must know that at the beginning, the United States used so much force, not only in terms of materials, but also in terms of troops, and more than one million troops were sent one after another, and now it has come back with less than a fraction of it. As for the supplies, not to mention, in order to facilitate the retreat, the supplies were basically discarded, leaving only some dry rations and some individual weapons.
This is definitely the biggest loss since the founding of the United States, and the whole United States is grieving and worrying about the future of the United States.
The American people cannot blame the government for its incompetence, after all, the mighty British Empire, even the country has been destroyed, and I heard that the number of people they have withdrawn is pitiful, and it is not much better than them.
Yes, the British were indeed no better than the Americans, and when the British landed in Australia in early June, they simply counted the number of people who landed and collected more than 280,000 people.
This seems to be a lot more evacuated than the Americans, but you must know that the British still have so many colonial troops lost in the process of retreating, and the Royal Navy, which was once the world's first, has also suffered heavy losses, and its strength is less than one-third of what it was before the war.
With the complete withdrawal of Allied forces from the European continent, the war in Europe has also come to an end, and there is no longer any force on the entire European continent that can threaten the Greater German Empire.
All countries, including neutral countries, either surrendered to Germany or promised to provide Germany with loans and resources as a guarantee against their annihilation.
In Africa, France-Bissa and other colonial countries had surrendered to the Germans, and Britain, the largest colony, did not even want its own territory and African colonies, so the whole of Africa immediately became the world of the Germans.
With a vast area and resource supply, while the Germans stepped up their military development, the next goal was naturally to enter the American continent. However, the distance is a bit far, and this kind of large-scale operation is naturally not achieved overnight, and it takes time to prepare.
It seems that the whole world is quiet for the time being, but Asia is still fighting, the Germans are feasting in Europe, and the little devils are also grabbing soup in Asia.
Since there is no strong resistance in Southeast Asia, little Japan has already entered India, as one of the most important colonies of the British, the current British are indeed a little powerless, after all, they can't even keep their own territory, and the vast colonies can only watch being eaten away piece by piece.
The British, who had withdrawn to Australia, only hoped for more time to recover, and did not think about confronting little Japan in India, so they did not send reinforcements to India and left the colonial army to fight hard.
"The Chinese army has surrounded the concession and is heading straight for Hong Kong. There was a message from the Chinese side that it hoped that all our personnel in China would need to surrender unconditionally to them. At this time, another bad news came, and Churchill had a headache, but this was to be expected.
Churchill already knew that the Germans' military strength was advancing so rapidly that it was absolutely inseparable from Wei Qidong, and at the beginning, the British and the Americans, and even the Soviet Union also coveted what Wei Qidong and Tang Xinyi had in their hands, and as a result, they got nothing.
Now it seems that the Germans, who were not involved at that time, were directly cheaper.
I knew that I would not have used that kind of means to persecute in the first place, and if I had supported China when it was fighting hard against Japan, and won over China to completely side with their Britain and the United States, then I am afraid the end would not be like this.
But then again, how many countries were able to look down on China, which was backward at that time? Only Germany, which has been sanctioned, has taken a fancy to China's resources and needs exports to restore its economy to cooperate with China, which is purely picked up by Germany.
It is too late to say anything now, and after in-depth cooperation with Germany, not only has it succeeded in forcing the Japanese out of China, but it has also developed rapidly, and it is no longer the backward country it once was.
