Jagged Germany

Chapter 1621: The only hope (ask for a monthly ticket)

?? With the help of the fleet, the 1st Division of the German Marine Corps occupied the entire Bermuda Islands in just half a day. Moreover, the Bermuda Islands were occupied at a small cost. This undoubtedly shows that the new landing tactics adopted by the German Marine Corps are very successful. Even, such tactics can also be applied to the landing in North America in the future.

?? However, the successful occupation of Bermuda is only the first step. It was a long way from turning Bermuda into a bridgehead for a German attack on North America.

??After the German army occupied Bermuda, it was necessary to deploy more troops and build more military facilities on the island. As more construction machinery is transported to the island, the German army will start large-scale construction on the island. Re-build air defense positions and radar stations on the islands, expand airports, coastal defense fortresses, build various defensive positions, and so on.

??The Americans will definitely not give up on the German army's capture of Bermuda. If the German Navy can hit the U.S. Navy in one fell swoop, or even destroy the U.S. Navy. The Americans have not yet been able to retaliate against Bermuda. But if the German Navy's attack does not go well, then the U.S. Navy will definitely attack Bermuda. This made it necessary for the German army to deploy sufficient troops on the Bermuda Islands and build sufficient fortifications to withstand the attack of the US military.

??However, in a short period of time, the defense of Bermuda has to be handed over to the German Navy. With their existence, it is almost impossible for the United States to send troops to land on Bermuda.

??When the German navy attacked Bermuda and the German marines landed in Bermuda, the U.S. government was still in a meeting. The main force of the German navy appeared in Bermuda and launched an attack, which undoubtedly caught them by surprise.

?? "Gentlemen, what should we do now? The main force of our navy and the main force of the British navy are concentrated in the north. Should we let them go south and fight the German navy?" President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency, it will take at least two days for our fleet and the British Navy to go south to the Bermuda Islands. During this time, the Germans must have occupied the Bermuda Islands. In addition, those who appear in the waters near the Bermuda Islands must It is the main force of the German navy. Even if we join hands with the British navy, it will be very difficult to defeat the main force of the German navy there." Admiral Harold Stark said.

?? There is no doubt that after the German navy occupied Bermuda, it could rely on it to wait for work and fight a decisive battle with the US and British fleets. Even the German fleet that appeared in the southeastern waters of Greenland will participate in this decisive battle. At that time, the US and British fleets will face the enemy. In such a decisive battle at sea, it is undoubtedly very difficult for the US and British fleets to win.

"Are we just sitting back and watching Bermuda fall into the hands of the Germans? Once the Germans build a large number of military facilities on the Bermuda Islands, they can even turn Bermuda Islands into a military base. At that time, the Germans can directly from Bermuda Islands Take off heavy bombers to attack our homeland. That will be a disaster for us!" Admiral Marshall said.

??President Roosevelt's face also became very serious. Although the United States lost in this war at an early stage. However, for the American people, perhaps because the bomb did not fall on their heads, they can still bear it. However, once the German Air Force uses the Bermuda Islands to send heavy bombers to bomb the continental United States, the consequences will be very serious. At that time, the entire American society will be in turmoil. Even, even the rule of the government will be affected by this.

?? "In any case, the Germans cannot be allowed to build the Bermuda Islands into a bridgehead to attack us!" President Roosevelt said firmly.

?? "Yes, Your Excellency the President." Everyone replied.

??However, although they already know President Roosevelt's determination. But they had no concrete idea of ??how to stop the Germans, or how to retake Bermuda.

"Your Excellency, the heavy shelling by the Germans and the ensuing battle will destroy all the military installations on the Bermuda Islands. In this case, it will not be so easy for the Germans to build Bermuda into a military base. A long time. We still have plenty of time to stop the Germans," said U.S. Army Air Corps commander General Henry Arnold.

??President Roosevelt nodded: "That is indeed the case. However, the current situation is still very unfavorable to us. Therefore, we need to do our best to stop the Germans."

"Your Excellency, there is only one way to stop the Germans, and that is to defeat the German navy. As long as we can defeat the German navy, then we can calmly assemble our forces and retake the Bermuda Islands." Secretary of the Navy Frank Nock S said.

??Others nodded again and again. Indeed, if the German Navy can be defeated, then all crises can be resolved. However, everyone is also very clear that it is not an easy task to defeat the German Navy. Especially when the U.S. Navy has suffered heavy losses, even with the addition of the British Navy, their chances of winning are very small.

?? "General Stark, is the Navy confident of winning this battle?" President Roosevelt asked.

?? Now, President Roosevelt can be said to have put all his hopes on the Navy.

?? "Your Excellency, I have to admit that this is very difficult." Admiral Harold Stark said with a wry smile.

??President Roosevelt thought for a while, and then said: "I don't make any restrictions on how to fight this battle. I only hope that the Navy can do its best to defeat the Germans."

Admiral Harold Stark thought for a while, then nodded: "Your Excellency, the navy will do its best. However, I will have further discussions with the generals of the navy on how to fight. We will In the shortest possible time, it was reported to His Excellency the President."

?? "Very good, General Stark, I believe the Navy will defeat the Germans and win. God will bless us!" President Roosevelt said.

?? "Your Excellency, the Germans have occupied the entire Bermuda Islands." Suddenly, President Roosevelt's secretary entered the office and reported to them.
