Floor-to-ceiling windows let in the cool sunlight and brighten up the spacious and luxurious room. It's February, and Berlin is still shrouded in the chill of winter, with flames rising from the fireplaces; It's just a touch of tender green and verdant blooming on those street trees, showing people that another spring is coming.

"Your Majesty, the Americans have made a total retreat from the island of Haiti. Just two hours earlier, our troops had fully entered Port-au-Prince, located in the western part of the island of Haiti, without any resistance along the way. The Americans set fire to the houses they had built, blew up the equipment and machinery, and blocked the harbor channel with sunken ships, which was undoubtedly the most obvious act of intent to abandon the place permanently." The gray-bearded Ludendorff reported the battle situation on the front line to Qingying in one breath, and his eyes were bright; As chief of the general staff, he was obviously very satisfied with the appearance of his soldiers in the distant Americas. The German 6th Army taught a hard lesson to those loose cowboys who dared to meddle in European affairs, and won a great victory over both the naval and air forces. Facts have proved that the German 6th Army is still the most crushing branch of the enemy's army, whether it is mountains or plains, the Americans have been defeated in the battle!

Qingying nodded slightly, showing that she was clear, but she didn't have too much surprise in her heart about this news. Under the blockade of their own naval and air forces, the US troops on the island of Haiti have become ∑a lone army, and in order to preserve these tens of thousands of fresh troops, the Americans will certainly not fight to the end with their own side in the face of lack of materials. The only thing that surprised him a little was that the Anglo-Saxons seemed to have an innate talent for retreat, and they would always achieve remarkable "miracles" in situations that enemy commanders could not have predicted. The two withdrawals of the British in the Dardanelles and Dunkirk were swift. The cheekiness to be able to boast of a great victory over the defeat of the wolf bèi is unmatched; And in the current . The withdrawal of the American troops was also without the slightest drag, and its concealment, suddenness, and efficiency surprised the battle-hardened German army. In less than a week, all five American divisions on the island of Haiti boarded and left, and the Germans captured only more than 3,000 prisoners who had not had time to evacuate. Most of the artillery, trucks and other heavy equipment of the American army were also destroyed by them before retreating, and the final capture of the German army was also very limited.

"It seems that the Americans have abandoned this unrealistic strategy of keeping the enemy out of the Caribbean. Their 6th Army and naval lineup were not enough to support the defense of the islands far from the mainland, and this undoubtedly opened the door for our next move in Cuba. This land that once belonged to the Spaniards. It is now the last barrier for the United States to defend its homeland; If we seize it, we will be able to reach the United States mainland, and the war will enter its final phase." Qingying spoke softly, and her tone couldn't help but reveal a bit of unspeakable anger; The various layouts that I carried out after the end of the last battle finally ushered in the critical moment when it came to fruition!

"Please rest assured, the German 6th Army will surely win a victory in Cuba like the Battle of France." Ludendorff straightened his chest and replied with a neutral voice. The weak combat strength of the US Sixth Army has been completely exposed to the eyes of the German high command from its offensive in eastern Cuba, and even the units of the Austro-Hungarian Sixth Army composed of the main nation can stabilize the Americans with poor combat skills in the judgment of the top brass of the German Sixth Army. Current. Even if the Air Force could not provide any direct ground support, Ludendorff was fully confident that he would level the opposing front from the front; Whether it's plain zhì or heavy equipment. There is a muddy difference between the two sides!

"Thanks to the strong transportation of the navy, our army has now assembled the strength of nearly 4o divisions of 3 army groups in Puerto Rico and the island of Haiti; The soldiers crossed the ocean on fast cargo ships and cruise ships that sailed more than 2o knots, and a large number of frigates were closely protected, and so far there has not been an accident on a troop carrier. Hundreds of thousands of tons of ordnance and materiel have also been massively assembled on the front line, and as long as conditions permit, they can be immediately driven to the front line in Cuba for unloading." Ludendorff spoke again, and said confidently, "Although the distance between the north and south of Cuba is narrow, the terrain is dominated by plains, which is an excellent stage for the Imperial 6th Army to show its might. With the power of the Tiger tank, our armored forces can pierce through the defensive lines of the Americans like sharp knives, and then outflank and annihilate them like they did in France more than half a year ago! The mountains and jungles of the island of Haiti have limited the combat effectiveness of our army for too long, and now it is finally time to release this shackle completely."

Qingying said unhurriedly: "The German 6th Army has the longest splendid glory among all branches of the military. I've never had any doubts about its power. It's just that this war across the ocean no longer involves only the 6th Army, the navy's support of transportation lines, and the air force's suppression of the enemy's air force, which will have a direct and far-reaching impact on the war situation. I hope that the various branches of the Reich will work together in the next campaign of Cuba to achieve this mission, which is of great importance to Germany. In this campaign, Air General Kesselring still controlled the armies in a unified manner; He has already proven his ability with his previous actions, and he is good enough to shoulder the central command in a war zone."

Hearing that Qingying handed over the command to the air force general, Ludendorff accepted it calmly although he was a little unhappy in his heart. With the continuous reduction of the members of the various states, and the rapid increase in the power of the Hohenzollern family after the European war, the emperor in front of him has become the most powerful monarch after Frederick the Great, even the first emperor Wilhelm, who led Germany from weak to strong and won the European war. In addition, the Kesselring he appointed was indeed up to the task, and even Ludendorff himself felt that his handling of the battle of the 6th Army was quite appropriate. In many cases, Kesselring does not look like an air force general, but like the veteran general of the 6th Army, who has been honed in the General Staff for more than 20 years, Ludendorff. [,！ I already regret letting him transfer from his own to the Air Force back then. If not, I'm afraid that the 6th Army now has another commander like his deputy Manstein, right?

Ludendorff froze his mind of these unrealistic thoughts, and said: "Your Majesty, the Penemünde Rocket Base has recently made a revolutionary improvement to the new rocket, greatly increasing its range, and I think this weapon should be able to complete its irreplaceable mission in the next attack on Cuba. After testing, the maximum range of this V3 rocket reached an astonishing 55O km, and under the correction of the new gyroscope, its hit dispersion was not significantly improved compared with the previous V2 rocket with a range of 38O km, and remained within the error range of less than 3 km. If more than 200 rockets of this type can be fired at US airfields in a concentrated salvo, they will not only be able to paralyze the use of their airfields for a considerable period of time, but will also be able to directly blow up a large number of US fighters on the ground, thus greatly reducing the threat they can pose to our troops. According to the battle reports of our front-line troops, the US Sixth Army also relied almost entirely on air support for the battle, and once it lost air supremacy, it was completely powerless to face the fierce front of the German army."

"The range is 55o km, and the error is only within 3 km?" Qingying was taken aback, and her face, which had been unwavering, finally showed obvious fluctuations. As a "prophet" with the memory of later generations, he had a clear understanding of the difficulties of missiles in improving range and accuracy: although the Royal William Academy of Sciences, which was devoted to gold, greatly promoted the progress of science and technology, the motivation of missiles in the current era is obviously not the same as that of later generations. Whether it is thrust, working time, or restart interval, the current motivation is still at a fairly initial level, and the motivation performance directly determines the range of the missile. In addition, the accuracy of the missile's hit is extremely difficult to control, after all, a high-moving object that can cross more than 15km per second, as long as there is any slight deviation in the flight time, it will cause the impact point to deviate greatly from the predetermined location. At present, which has not yet entered the semiconductor era, the performance of the missile's guidance equipment is not satisfactory, and the missile with such performance is almost incredible!

Ludendorff nodded, the smile on his face could not be concealed, this research base in Peneminde is one of the core projects funded and responsible for by the 6th Army. Seeing that Qing Ying was so surprised, he explained a little: "As far as I know, the great leap in range of the V3 rocket is the result of the dedication of that young Braun researcher. When he encountered a range bottleneck, he did not continue to increase the weight and volume of the rocket like the researchers next to him, but chose to reduce its fuel load. In the end, both calculations and facts proved that his idea was completely correct. Since most of the weight of the rocket is composed of liquid fuel, after pouring out a part of the fuel, the rocket achieves a more ideal balance in weight, drag, and endurance. It is no exaggeration to say that we have been 2o years ahead of the rest of the world in this field, and their small rockets are the difference between beggars and kings in front of V3."

"Inform Speer, Deputy Secretary of State for Armaments Production, so that he can allocate some manpower and resources to produce this missile." After a moment of silence, Qingying immediately gave the order. The biggest advantage of ballistic missiles over bombers is that they cannot be intercepted by fighters and guns, and they do not have time for ground evacuation and related preparations. Although it is expensive, as long as it is applied properly, it can still produce irreplaceable effects! (To be continued)
