Jagged Germany

Chapter 1030: Punish the United States (ask for a monthly ticket)

??Because of the lack of fighting spirit, the battle of the German Marine Corps in the Azores went very smoothly. Lieutenant General Alexander Linsingen is even more optimistic, and he will be able to win the entire Azores within a week.

?? Especially the surrender of the main force of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps has shaken the will of other troops even more. Under the deliberate propaganda of the German army, many American officers and soldiers who were in desperate situations surrendered to the German army in an organized way, which greatly accelerated the German army's advance.

??Two days later, the remnants of the U.S. Marine Corps, which suffered heavy losses, also surrendered. This allowed the German army to concentrate its forces against Pico Island, which was occupied by the British Marine Corps.

??The fighting spirit of the thousands of British troops on the island is not much better than that of their American allies. When more than a dozen capital ships of the German Navy gathered off the coast of Pico Island, preparing to bombard the island, the British on the island were terrified.

??The commander of the 7th Brigade of the British Marine Corps directly issued an order to surrender. Obviously, he knew that if he continued to hold on, there would be only one result in the end, that is, he would suffer heavy losses from the bombardment of the German ships, and then be wiped out by the German marines who landed. Instead of that, Huanfa surrendered as soon as possible. In this case, a small life can be saved.

?? The Battle of the Azores ended with such an unexpected result. Germany easily won the battle. The Americans can be said to have lost their wife and lost their troops. They originally thought about forcibly occupying the Azores before the Germans reacted, resulting in a fait accompli. In this way, it will be able to gain a certain upper hand in the confrontation with Germany.

?? But unfortunately, the final result was not as good as they expected. In this battle, the United States not only lost all the main naval forces, but also lost two marine divisions, which can be described as heavy losses. At the same time, their British allies also lost a marine brigade. Moreover, it has almost made them an international laughing stock.

?? And Germany's strong military strength has once again attracted the attention of the international community, and it is a great deterrent to other countries. Let them know that Germany is now in its heyday, and any stupid behavior that wants to confront Germany will be directly crushed to pieces by Germany's powerful military power.

??The U.S. government not only suffered heavy losses this time, but also aroused public opposition in the country. In particular, the families and friends of the Marine Corps casualties on the Azores raised doubts about the government. For a while, President Woodrow Wilson's support almost dropped to freezing point.

However, the U.S. government's propaganda agency immediately took action. They hyped up the heroic combat of the Marine Corps, and at the same time exaggerated the brutality of the Germans, claiming that they had done their best and paid the greatest sincerity. To resolve this conflict peacefully. However, the Germans closed the door to peace talks with harsh conditions, which eventually led to such a tragic result.

??Under the propaganda of the US government, many American people who do not know the truth have become more and more hostile to Germany. They boycotted German goods and even besieged German embassies. Even many German-Americans have been affected by this. This also led to many German-Americans who eventually chose to leave the United States and return to live in Germany. By the outbreak of World War II, the number of German Americans living in the United States had decreased by almost 90 percent.

??Under such circumstances, the U.S. government breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it had finally passed the crisis. However, they never expected that Kaiser Qin Tian was not someone who would not fight back after being beaten.

?? This time, the United States took the initiative to provoke and attack the Azores. Then, if Germany just regained the Azores, it would not satisfy Qin Tian, ??nor would it make the German people vent their anger.

?? On March 4, Kaiser Qin Tian visited the Admiralty and listened to the plan of punishment for the United States drawn up by the Admiralty.

"Your Majesty, the Battle of the Azores is over. The Continental Fleet, the Atlantic Fleet and the Aircraft Carrier Fleet have completed supplies and rest, and are ready for combat. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, we can launch an attack on the continental United States at any time! "The eyes of Admiral Reinhardt Scheer, Minister of the Navy, were full of eagerness to try.

?? Obviously, for the Imperial Navy, if it can launch an attack on the mainland of the United States, it will undoubtedly be an honor to be proud of for a lifetime. They all hope that this time the plan can be successful in their hands.

??Qin Tian nodded: "What is the detailed battle plan like?"

"Your Majesty, with the capital ships of the U.S. Navy having been completely lost, the Home Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet will form a joint fleet to attack the coastal cities of the U.S. mainland. Of course, we will mainly destroy American ports and shipbuilding factory, further attacking the American shipbuilding capabilities, so that the Imperial Navy can maintain its superiority in the Atlantic Ocean for a longer period of time. The aircraft carrier fleet will be more behind the main fleet and bomb the coastal cities of the United States. Which cities to attack will be decided by The generals on the front line decide according to the situation." Marshal Reinhard Scheer said. This undoubtedly gave the front-line fleet commander a lot of autonomy.

??Qin Tian is still very tempted to attack the US shipbuilding strength. This time, the main force of the U.S. Navy was destroyed, allowing the German Navy to maintain its advantage in the Atlantic Ocean for another ten years. If the US shipbuilding strength is further destroyed, not to mention completely destroyed, it only needs to be severely damaged, then the German Navy's advantage may be extended to fifteen years. At that time, even if the Americans rebuild a powerful navy, the German navy has become even stronger. This is completely equivalent to giving the German navy a fifteen-year development time!

?? Now, the main force of the US Navy has been wiped out. For the German Navy, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity. If such an opportunity is missed, it may be difficult for the general to have such an opportunity again. Qin Tian didn't want such an opportunity to just slip away from his hands for nothing.

??Of course, if Germany implements this plan, it will be tantamount to completely tearing apart the Americans. At that time, there will be no room for the two countries to change. Even, it may trigger a war between the two countries!
