"The British gave in so cowardly. Faced with our list of 2,000 artillery pieces, 2,000 machine guns, 100,000 tons of ammunition, 2,000,000 tons of merchant ships, and all combat ships of more than 10,000 tons, the British accepted them all, and the only condition was that we and our allies immediately cease military attacks against them in various parts of the world. Not to mention that the armies of the allies are now steadily advancing in Africa, Central Asia and East Asia, the Imperial General Staff had already made plans to land in Britain five years ago, and conducted many joint exercises of the three services in the Baltic Sea, and the soldiers were more eager for the honor of occupying LinkedIn than ever. Yes, I really hope that Mr. Churchill will remain in power, and call on his people to continue to resist 'strongly', if so, we will be able to complete the coffin of this empire that has been at its peak for more than 300 years by an epic cross-sea landing! ”

In the makeshift base camp in Compiègne, the gray-haired Ludendorff spoke with regret. As the supreme commander of the German Army and the entire officer corps collective, he had every reason to be reluctant to be reconciled to the current abrupt end of the war against the British: the British Army had been completely wiped out in the encirclement of Dunkirk, and its remaining main forces had been sent to the French battlefield, and it was only a matter of time before they were annihilated in the face of the German Army and Air Force. And when this qiē is completed, Britain itself will also lose its last means of defending against invasion. With the intensive trampling of the German boots, this country, which has plagued the European continent for hundreds of years, will get the shameful end that all the people of the European continent eagerly await in their hearts!

"If you can achieve the goal by political means. Then we should not engage in military action. The Empire's intention in landing in England was still to force them out of the war, and now that the authorities in London have yielded, we no longer have to pay nearly ten billion marks for war and tens of thousands of soldiers' lives to achieve this. In the face of the expected attitude of the Chief of the General Staff. Qingying said helplessly. Historically, Ludendorff was a pure soldier, and his idea of serving the war was undoubtedly evident in his book "Total War"; If he had had a clear political consciousness and an overall mind based on grand strategy, he should have seized the last chance to make peace with Britain and France at the beginning of 1917, instead of stubbornly choosing war and finally pushing Germany into the abyss of defeat.

"It's sunset in the UK. The empire, which occupied the western and northern ports of France and had absolute maritime superiority, had more than ten ways to conquer the island nation. Our eyes should not be limited to Europe, a familiar land that has been disputed for more than a thousand years, but to the wider world. The great enemy that Germany now needs to deal with is the multi-ethnic amalgamation of North America. They are the only beings today who are able to stop the will of the Empire; If we can launch a decisive landing in North America, it will be ten times more effective than the capture of the former world hegemon Britain. Qingying looked at the huge world map on the wall and said with emotion and longing.

Since the end of the last war. The idea of defeating the chosen nation of America was already brewing in Qingying's mind. As long as there is the slightest possibility, as a traverser, I cannot tolerate the emergence of tensions like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations; Rather than pinning one's fate on the other party's calm restraint that won't press the nuclear button, it's better to firmly control it in your own hands!

While the United States still has a fantastic geographical location and industrial power, it is still important for Germany, which is now almost all of Europe. But it is definitely not an unattainable deity. Moreover, Germany already has Guyana as a springboard in the Americas. The blocking effect of the rough Atlantic Ocean has been greatly reduced. From here, it is only 3,000 kilometers to Florida, the southernmost state of the United States, which is more than double the 6,600 kilometers between mainland Germany and the United States. More crucially, the stretch from Guyana to the southern United States was no longer an endless ocean, and there were plenty of islands in the Caribbean Sea for the Germans to advance into. As long as Germany occupies Cuba, there will be only a strait no more than 250 kilometers wide from the mainland of the United States, a distance that even transport ships can send from day to night, enough to carry the needs of a large-scale landing campaign!

"What about the attitude of the Italians. Are they willing to bring their navy into the framework of the Allied Combined Fleet and throw themselves into the war against the United States? Qingying turned her head and asked Raeder beside her. Due to industrial power and national habits. A month after the start of the war, the Italian navy was still not fully prepared for war, but flaunted its might in the air in the Mediterranean, where the Allies had long since withdrawn, and took on some inconsequential troop transport missions to the North African colonies. Although Qingying was eager to get rid of them and fight Austria-Hungary alone, the Italian fleet, with its good lineup, was still an indispensable force; Taking a step back, with the addition of the Italian fleet, it could also help the German Navy share more of the enemy's firepower.

Raeder replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Italian leader has sent a telegram three hours ago. He extolled the Reich's ongoing war against the United States, and declared that Italy was fully obliged to devote itself to the great mission of destroying the remaining Saxon powers. It is expected that they will soon agree with us on the matter of sending a fleet. With that last sentence, Raeder's heart couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain that bordered on pity. Half a month after the outbreak of the war, the Italian dictator who came to power by coup d'état did not have the courage to have a direct showdown with the United States and Britain, and his declaration of war and attack were limited to France, a weak neighbor who was in danger of fighting under the German army. It was not until the German army and navy won decisive victories on two battlefields, and the British and French took the initiative to sue for peace, that the Italians finally let go of their scruples and were ready to put the bet on the side of the victor. Julius Caesar's glory was disgraced by these weak descendants.

Qingying snorted lightly and said, "The Italians are still on the boat after all." This cowardly gambler will only rush their chips into the betting pool of one side if one side has already opened a winning version of 3 aces, and try his best to get the dealer to settle with him at the original odds! It's only that we still need this weak wall grass now, which makes their ambitions succeed! Now that the gates of Gibraltar were open, both they and the Austrians were able to move in and out of the Mediterranean and Atlantic normally; You go to the Italians and ask them to complete the rearmament of the fleet within a month, and sail all to Saint-Nazaire in the west of France. After the arrival of the High Seas Fleet, it immediately went to the Georgetown Military Port in Guyana, South America. ”

"Your Majesty, can't we use the ports of Canada?" Hearing the deployment of the British, Raeder was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Now that the British are already seeking a truce with the Empire, if we add the condition of using Canadian ports to the treaty, the British, who are already desperate, will definitely not refuse our wish." With Canada as a springboard, our Army would be able to directly threaten the U.S. mainland, which would be much more convenient in any way than Guyana in South America. ”

"If Canada is still under the control of the forces loyal to London, then the easiest route is naturally from the north. However, we cannot expect the Americans to turn a blind eye to the imminent threat. It is highly likely that they will take over the eastern coast of Canada in the near future, and we do not yet have the necessary means to intervene in the United States military to carry out this operation. Qingying sighed, her words full of helplessness, "In fact, even if we use Guyana as a springboard, the conservative estimate of attacking the US mainland will be a year and a half later, in 1939. Because the empire had almost no industry in South America, every liter of fuel and every shell needed for the front-line war had to be transported from the European mainland, and even from the western ports of France would be a nearly 7,000-kilometer ocean journey. The reason why I wanted the British to surrender 2 million tons of merchant ships in the armistice treaty was precisely to be able to connect more effectively with the European mainland and the South American colonies, so as to establish a continuous logistical supply line between the two. ”

Hearing the clear British explanation of the time of the future war, both Raeder and Ludendorff couldn't help but be shocked. They thought that the war against the United States would end in just a few months, and they never imagined that the war would last longer than the last war. After a brief moment of consternation, Ludendorff, who had only war in his mind, had a bright eye and was eager to try; However, Raeder, who had a higher sense of the overall situation, looked solemn and pondered silently. Judging from this timetable, what Qingying wanted was not a partial victory, but a complete defeat of the United States, a country with a strong industry and a large population, and then it would face a situation that was far more difficult than previously expected. Regardless of the economic and social danger of the protracted war, the necessity of pouring so much force into the complete conquest of a distant country is doubtful; Wouldn't it be better for both sides to take a step back in comparison?

"General Raeder, I fully understand your concerns. However, for the sake of Germany's future, we must completely destroy the last bastion of the Saxons. The Japanese are about to join the reich, and the power we have never been greater, and this is the perfect opportunity to eliminate the American threat once and for all. Qingying spoke slowly, but there was a decisive firmness in her words, "Our choice today will be proven by history to be a completely necessary and wise move. (To be continued......)
