November 19, 192, the vanguard of the German army arrived in the Nebigon area in the north of Eiffel Tower and launched an attack on the French troops stationed there, and the Battle of Eiffel Tower broke out!
This battle is related to the safety of Eiffel Tower, and is also directly related to the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in northern Gaul, the ownership of nearly 20 million people and thousands of factories.
Whoever wins this battle will be able to control the northern part of Gaul and everything here!
So after the outbreak of this battle, it immediately attracted the attention of the world!
North America, Washington, the capital of the United States!
The United States is holding a presidential election at this time. While President Harding is busy competing with his opponents, he also does not forget to keep an eye on the war situation in Europe.
“I didn’t expect the German army’s attack power to be so strong. Moreover, this move of unexpectedly passing through the Gaulish defense line from the Ardennes Forest, avoiding the hard bone of the Maginot Line in front, and surrounding more than one million coalition forces in the three regions of Benelux at once was simply a stroke of genius. Mainz, this guy, is really good!”
When he thought that the British army lost hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield in just ten days, President Harding felt so happy that it was indescribable!
“Yes, the performance of the German army in this war, at least the initial performance, was indeed refreshing!”
MacArthur, Eisenhower and others were also very emotional. They did not treat this war with the mentality of gloating over the British Empire like President Harding.
The two of them were completely out of the standpoint of soldiers. They seriously studied and summarized the outstanding performance and shortcomings of the three warring powers in this war, analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each other, and then learned lessons, and selectively absorbed their advantages and applied them to their own army!
The two were no strangers to the German blitzkrieg tactics. As early as 1923, the German army had used this tactic in the German-Polish War.
However, because the tank weapon was not very perfect at that time, this tactic was not recognized by various countries. Although it attracted the attention of various countries, few people followed their example!
However, this war is completely different from the war five years ago.
The German army is equipped with more and more powerful tanks. Their field armies were almost entirely formed in accordance with the combat needs of the armored forces.
Among the German Army’s First to Seventh Armies, except for the Sixth Army, which was reorganized from the cavalry and therefore lacked an armored division, all other armies had at least one armored corps and two fully staffed armored divisions, each with at least 400 tanks!
The First Army even had two armored corps, four armored divisions, and 1,600 tanks, all of which were Type 4 tanks!
It was precisely because of such a terrifying armored force that the combat effectiveness of the First Army was so fierce. This army was almost unbeatable on the battlefield. The millions of Allied troops could not stop them at all, and they could not even find an enemy to match them! The
First Army was not only raging like fire, but also had excellent offensive capabilities, and the most important thing was that the speed of this unit was too fast!
In front of them, the Allied forces were as slow as a snail.
So, although the Allied forces had the advantage in terms of manpower, every time the German army launched an attack, they could use their speed to create a situation where they had more people against fewer people in local areas, causing every point under attack to collapse instantly because they could not withstand the huge pressure!
After such collapses happened many times, the Allied forces developed a fear of the German army.
MacArthur noticed that the Allied forces in the Bruges area had not moved south for at least five days and had not attempted to break out!
Obviously, the main force of the German army had left Dunkirk at this time. If they tried, they might have a chance to take Dunkirk back from the Germans. As long as they could take it back, they still had a chance. There is a chance to jump out of the German encirclement!
However, these allied forces seemed to have not noticed this good opportunity, turning a blind eye to it, letting the Germans attack their allies in the Lille area, but doing nothing themselves, it seems like they have given up treatment!
This situation is very telling!
Eagle sauce has fought side by side with the British Empire and the Gauls, so they are very clear about the true combat effectiveness of the armies of these two countries.
As an old power, their army’s combat effectiveness is actually very strong. Although it is not as strong as the traditional army power Hans, the gap between the two sides will not be too big. At least during the First World War, this gap was not irreparable!
However, this time, the situation seems to be one-sided.
The British Empire and the Gauls seemed to suddenly become unable to fight. Under the attack of a set of combined punches from the German army, they became extremely dull and extremely confused, and did not find any way to deal with the German army at all.
Since the beginning of the war, the initiative of the war has been completely in the hands of the German army. Except for Dai Gaole’s army’s counterattack against Sedan, the Allied forces have hardly performed well in other places. They look like patients with terminal illnesses who have given up treatment and are ready to lie down and wait for death!
This made MacArthur and Eisenhower very curious: Is it that the armies of these two countries have degenerated too seriously, or that the combat effectiveness of the German army has made a qualitative leap and become so powerful?
There is no answer to this question, unless they personally go down and fight with both sides, and then make a judgment by comparing the strength of both sides!
But both of them are very smart and can see the answer to this question!
The German army is too strong!
“Fortunately, such a country is our ally. If this country is our enemy, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with them!”
Eisenhower said with emotion. He is a German immigrant, so he naturally has a certain good impression of Hans.
At that time, the entire Eagle Sauce was extremely exclusive to the German population because of its involvement in the First World War. A large number of Germans were even arrested and isolated, which hurt these German immigrants very much.
Many German immigrants only remembered their distant homeland at that time, and their distant homeland. At that time, the fate of their homeland was the same as their own. Because of the defeat, they were surrounded and bullied by a large group of countries. This made it easy for German immigrants to sympathize with their homeland. Many people left North America and returned to their homeland.
Eisenhower’s family immigrated early, so they had a weaker feeling for their homeland, but some of his friends in the army, such as Spruance and Nimitz, immigrated later, and they were severely excluded in the army, so they left in the first few days. In 2002, they immigrated back to Europe and returned to Hans.
It is said that the two joined the German navy. I don’t know if they were involved in this war this time…
MacArthur is not of German descent, so he is not as sentimental as Eisenhower.
What he cares most about is how the German armored tactics were formulated, how they were trained, how they fought, and whether the Eagle Sauce can learn these things and use them themselves?
If possible, what type of tank should they develop? Should they start with Hans’s No. 1 tank like the Russian bear, or directly imitate the No. 4 tank?
In other words, they use their allies and simply ask Hans for some tanks and then copy them directly?
