Marshall introduced the two armies, he turned the baton to the last German army in the east!
“Although theoretically, the German army in the east is the strongest, because this German army includes the Third Army and the Fourth Army, as well as the First Army of the rebels brought from the south by the traitor Eisenhower. The German army has concentrated three armies in this area in the east, with a strength of millions of people!”
Hearing this number, everyone couldn’t help but take a breath!
Millions of German troops, what a terrible number!
From beginning to end, they have never faced such a strong enemy. When they fought with the German army before, they always had an advantage in manpower, and they have never been at a disadvantage on the battlefield. What is even more disturbing is that they couldn’t beat the German army when they had an absolute advantage in manpower. So now that they are at a disadvantage in manpower, how can they fight against the German army?
Thinking of this, many American generals have lost confidence in their hearts. They don’t know why Marshall and the President said that this is an opportunity to turn the tables?
In their opinion, this is not an opportunity at all. This… There is no chance at all, right?
Marshall saw the reactions of the crowd, and to be honest, he was not surprised at the expressions on everyone’s faces.
Because not only were they unsure, even Marshall himself felt very uncertain!
Although the German army was divided, resulting in the German forces being dispersed more than before, it more or less gave them some opportunities to take advantage of.
However, things are different now. The current German army is not comparable to the German army that just landed in North America half a year ago!
After the German army won the naval battle and gained control of the sea, the restrictions restricting their deployment of troops to North America were completely gone, which led to a large number of German troops landing in North America. The German army’s strength suddenly increased from one army group to four army groups. What’s more deadly is that this The four armies are the most elite troops of the German Army!
They were established the earliest and experienced the most battles. Each of them can make the US Army envious. As a result, the German Army gathered four of them at once, which made the US Army only sigh in despair!
There is no way, there is really no way, how to fight this!
The opponent has strong combat effectiveness, good equipment, a large number of people, and high morale. This battle cannot be won!
Therefore, Marshall expressed his understanding of everyone’s performance!
However, no matter how much they understand, it does not mean that they have to give up this opportunity, even if this opportunity is indeed not as good as the previous one. However, in this absolutely unfavorable and passive situation, the opponent can give them a chance. This is already quite rare. Do they still have the capital to pick? Pick and choose?
You know, if the German army continues to attack, it may not take long for all their key areas in the eastern coastal areas to fall!
And once the eastern coastal areas fall, then the Great Lakes region as an industrial base will definitely not be able to be saved! The
Great Lakes region is already their absolute rear. Further north is the territory of the Maple Leaf Country. Once the US military retreats to the Great Lakes region, they will have no way out.
Therefore, in order to prevent themselves from being completely forced into a desperate situation, they must seize the opportunity to reverse the situation before the German army reaches the Great Lakes region!
Although it is difficult to achieve this step in the current situation, they have no choice but to do so, otherwise they can only wait for destruction!
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have received intelligence that the German army has recently dispatched its troops to various places to clear out those scattered soldiers of our army. They have given up the plan to continue the offensive in the frontline areas. I think this is the best good news for us, right?”
Although the German army had transferred Guderian and his First Army before, Manstein still had the Third Army and the Fourth Army in his hands. With these two armies, the German army can still launch a large-scale offensive, so everyone present did not think that the German army would stop and not attack them.
Therefore, after Roosevelt announced the news, everyone was very suspicious. They all thought that the news was false because it was a bit abnormal!
“Whether it is fake news or not, everyone will soon know it. However, if it is true, then we must seize this opportunity. While the German army is busy cleaning up our soldiers inside, we must seize the opportunity to strengthen our army’s combat effectiveness and start a local counterattack to actively contain the German army’s actions!”
Passive defense is simply waiting for death. President Roosevelt has not completely given up the attempt to save his country, so he has been insisting on counterattacking, even if it is difficult to do so!
“But, Mr. President, what should we do? Our army is simply unable to compete with the German army on the battlefield. When faced with the German attack, the army that can persist and not flee is already considered elite, not to mention expecting them to defeat the German army. We don’t have the capital to fight against the German army!”
After MacArthur’s death, the U.S. military had lost confidence, so even if President Roosevelt personally stood up to cheer everyone up, everyone still lacked confidence.
They really didn’t know how to face the German army, let alone how to defeat the German army.
How to defeat the German army is simply a global problem, because the German army seems to have never encountered failure!
“If we can’t defeat the Germans on the front battlefield, I think we can learn from the Chinese and fight guerrilla warfare with the Germans!”
Marshall said. Countless previous battles have proved that in a head-on confrontation, the US military is no match for the Germans at all. The opponent is much stronger than them.
Continuing to confront head-on is a dead end for them, so they must change their thinking and think of other ways!
“Fight guerrilla warfare?”
“How to fight? We don’t know how!”
“Yes, except during the War of Independence, we have never fought guerrilla warfare, especially the guerrilla warfare in modern warfare, we don’t know how to do it at all!”
Everyone was stunned when they heard Marshall’s words.
Guerrilla warfare can indeed defeat the strong with the weak if used well, but the key is that you have to know how to do it!
“If you don’t know how to do it, you can learn slowly. Besides, we have the advantage of playing at home and have plenty of opportunities to try and make mistakes!”
