Chapter 495 Dawn of Victory
"I promise that I will not interfere in the war in the Old World, which has nothing to do with us in the United States." After accepting two hours of accountability from Congress, Roosevelt, exhausted, finally made this promise to the delegates.
The non-interference in the old continent has nothing to do with the United States. Now the war in the old continent is brought about by Britain and France.
"I will strictly abide by the Act of Independence," Roosevelt said. "For now, let's just watch the war in Europe."
These idiots only focus on interests. Germany has given American companies a lot of benefits, but after all, if Germany is the only one, it will not be of any benefit to the United States. If Germany is allowed to unify Europe, for the United States, That was more of a disaster.
Although Roosevelt could see it, but now he can't show it, the United States does not need militants to come to power, and he still wants to be president again!
After staggering back to his office, he saw his assistant Hull.
"Mr. President, the German army is progressing very rapidly." Hull said: "Their attacks in Belgium and the McMahon Line were feints. The British Expeditionary Force in Belgium and Holland, as well as the French main force, risk being surrounded!"
Germany did not make the mistakes of World War I, and their war on the French mainland went quite smoothly.
"Also, we have just received news that the main British fleet has been routed in the confrontation between the Atlantic and German fleets."
Both news, both bad news! Roosevelt looked at the setting sun outside the window and murmured, "How long can the United States stay out of the way? If Germany overwhelms Britain, will the United States be able to survive on its own?"
Now Germany is showing goodwill in every possible way. Although the last paragraph of Cyric's speech on the Deutsche was extremely sincere and seemed to be showing goodwill to the United States, Roosevelt knew that once Germany conquered Britain, then a unified Europe, led by Germany, is definitely the greatest threat to the United States.
It's a pity, now, I can't help the UK right away!
Berlin.
After finishing his speech on the Deutsche, Cyric returned to Berlin again. His schedule was very busy. After all, the current war is related to Germany's national fortune for a hundred years!
"Our entire Army Group A has passed the Maas River, and now, nothing can stop us from advancing." General Keitel said to Cyric.
Rommel's troops were the first to cross the Meuse River. After Rommel passed, Britain and France tried to reverse the crisis through air strikes. Within a few days, an unprecedented air battle broke out over the Meuse River.
Under the cover of fighter jets, the British and French bombers went straight to the crossing of the Maas River, while the German army dispatched about 5 wing fighter jets to intercept it. The two sides invested more than 500 aircraft each. After two days of fighting, the heavy losses of the British and French air forces had to withdraw from the battle, and the German pontoons were all intact.
With the help of these pontoons, the German army completely crossed the Meuse River, which is a huge victory!
The Maas is also a natural barrier for Britain and France. When the Maas River is overcome, nothing can stop the German army from attacking.
After crossing the Meuse River, the Army's 1st Armoured Division moved rapidly westward and crossed the Ardennes Canal at dusk on the 14th, cutting off the link between the French 2nd and 9th armies.
And Rommel's armored division of the vanguard swooped towards the English Channel, and the target was Dunkirk! The forward speed of the armored troops was unexpected by the British and French. The tank troops that were fully activated, advancing in the empty rear of Britain and France, were almost the same as off-roading on their own soil.
The heavy troops of France, Britain and Belgium were encircled in the narrow strip between Dunkirk and Metz, and their connection with southern France was completely cut off, which meant that the entire French war situation was irreversible.
The entire conference room was filled with a happy atmosphere. Before the war, many commanders were hesitant. After all, Germany lost to France in World War I. This time, Germany could not afford to lose at all.
And now, victory is in sight!
"Great head of state, this time conquered France, you will go down in history as our greatest leader!" Brausich said to Cyric.
In the past, Cyric was behind the scenes, and the Germans most admired Hitler, the Führer, but now, with the conquest of France, Cyric's status will be truly doomed!
Not only the fanatical people, the loyal Waffen SS, even the Wehrmacht, are full of admiration and absolute respect for Cyric, and now, even if Cyric wants them to die, they will not hesitate execute!
The time has come.
When the French campaign is over, Cyric will vigorously promote those generals who reassure him. Some of the Wehrmacht will be promoted, while others will be retired.
The 720 incident in later generations, the list of those people, is still in Cyric's mind. This kind of disloyal person, no matter how much support Cyric is now, Cyric will never use it again.
He didn't use the spy thing to continue to play before, because Cyric's foundation was not solid enough. Now, he is absolutely raising his arms, and the crowd gathers.
"Now, we don't have to worry about the victory of the French campaign, we worry about the withdrawal of the British and French troops." Cyric said: "After we surrounded the main British and French forces, they will definitely break through, and our goal is to completely eliminate them! "
The Dunkirk retreat in history is still in Cyric's mind. Originally, the German army was able to completely kill the British and French troops. Unfortunately, it was disturbed by Goering.
At a critical moment, the German Army was ordered to suspend its advance to allow Goering's Air Force a stage to display. As a result, the Air Force was unable to stop the British's determination. Under Churchill's command, a large number of troops retreated to the British mainland.
If there is no retreat of these troops, then the German plan to attack the United Kingdom will reduce a lot of resistance. It can be said that these new forces have kept the United Kingdom, and, later, they have crossed the English Channel again and set foot on the British Channel. Continent Europe, the destruction of Germany.
Of course Cyric will not let such a thing happen again, and Cyric's goal is to hit the British mainland! Only by occupying Britain can we avoid fighting on two fronts and launch an offensive eastward with confidence.
"Don't worry about the south of France, our Waffen SS, and our A-Army, all have to eat the British and French coalition forces in the north as the main combat goal." Cyric said: "At the same time, in order to prevent them from breaking through, we must Create a joint command structure of the three armed forces."
