Dewey saw the battlefield, and there was hardly a place where it was not defeated, and the Atlantic Fleet had returned from Newfoundland, but Mitchell was adamantly opposed to pulling troops to the Caribbean to fight the Germans in naval battles. Even the task of cutting off the supply lines or counteroffensive of the German army in South America, as promised at the beginning, was clearly opposed.

Mitchell had a good reason, because he only had two aircraft carriers on hand, the Germans had five, the American pilots were all rookies except for more than 100 with some experience, and the worst batch of carrier-based aircraft pilots in the German Navy were stronger than his best. Besides, the other three Essex class ships will be delivered in December, and the naval force will be even greater around Christmas, so why rush to attack?

Halsey expressed resolute opposition to this, believing that if he was trapped on the east coast, the situation in the Caribbean would gradually come to an end, although everyone understood his eagerness to avenge McCain, and also understood the terrible consequences of the erosion of the Caribbean war, but there were not many people who supported Mitchell, and Mitchell, who was forced to be anxious at the meeting, even slapped the table and scolded Halsey: "It's not enough for you to bury the Pacific Fleet?" And now it's coming to bury the Atlantic Fleet again? ”

The two who disagreed almost staged an all-out military parade in public for this, Turner and Spruinsla couldn't hold it back, and if it weren't for Clarke's advance arrangement of guards when he saw that the situation was not good, it was estimated that someone would have to go to the hospital after this scene.

Although Truman had not yet finally handed over power to Dewey, he had apparently fallen into a state of hysteria after witnessing the situation, and the meeting ended unhappily without reaching any binding resolution, and Mitchell returned to the fleet with a grunt.

On November 19, Bradley finally despaired when he learned through various sources that nearly 500,000 German troops were encircling and annihilating the Allied forces in South Africa. In order to reduce the damage to South Africa and urge Shi Mozi to surrender, Black Cat released the relevant information to the United States through secret channels, and at the same time sent a note again, demanding that all South African ministries immediately stop resisting and solve it by peaceful means.

But the voice of London is obviously beyond the reach of the whip at this time, and it is impossible for Shi Mozi, who is closely monitored by the US military, to surrender his troops in a real way, and after the announcement of the Attlee government, South Africa is even more volatile.

On the 20th, the Germans approached Kimberley, where the relevant troops had fled, and the German army, which had advanced vigorously, had occupied one-third of South Africa. In the face of the turbulent mood of the government and the opposition, Bradley didn't care so much, and forcefully asked the US military to disarm some of the South African troops who were in turmoil, and then prepared to flee with Shi Mozi and high-level officials, and the rest of the troops could only be handed over to his deputy, Major General Lauder, for scheduling.

On the night of 21 November, on the docks of Cape Town, under the cover of darkness, teams of gendarmes escorted supplies onto ships.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! The urging sound kept ringing.

MacArthur issued an order in the name of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to require Bradley to settle down properly, and now his most important task is to move the gold and diamond reserves of the South African treasury onto the submarine to be used as funds for the future government-in-exile, as for the rest, mainly some high-ranking members of the South African army and government and their families, and then more than 100 American military officers.

The only channel they used to retreat was 15 Shark-class submarines, and the other part of the US officers and men retreated along the route Nimitz had originally taken to Australia on cruise ships and freighters under the unified leadership of Lauder, and under the protection of some cruisers and destroyers.

The South African defenders surrendered?

"Yes, my Führer." "There has been a upheaval in Cape Town, South Africa, Bradley has taken Spoage and some of the top brass to retreat, and the interim head of the remaining government, Hakes, has telegraphed us to surrender, and they have made the same request to Guderian and announced that all South African troops will lay down their arms. ”

"Where is Heinz advancing?"

"The main force is about three days away from Cape Town, but he has already sent some troops and air cavalry to Cape Town to surrender."

"Good!" Hoffman happily walked around his office, "This not only means that Blitzkrieg 2.0 has been a brilliant success, but also that the next phase of the war is off to a good start." ”

"Yes, Führer, this battle is like a dream."

Hoffmann picked up the phone and called Himmler: "Comrade Himmler, let the secret SS troops go to South Africa and see if there is anything worth noting...... This will be important for us in the future. ”

As soon as Himmler heard it, he understood that the Führer was eyeing the gold and diamond producing areas of the South Africans, and he immediately nodded in understanding, and this matter had to be preempted before the arrival of the British, and once the Black Cat sent people, some things would not be done blatantly.

The front line collapsed, the commander and the leader ran away, and the remaining South African troops certainly did not have the determination to fight to the end, and now the question was how the British could control South Africa, but the Dutch were overjoyed. Not only has Dutch Guiana declared its submission to the Amsterdam government in recent days, but this new republic of Boer descendants will be inextricably linked with the Netherlands in the future.

The Dutch government immediately issued a statement recognizing the Dutch Republic of Boer as an overseas possession of the Netherlands, politically under the direction of the Dutch government, and militarily under the protection of the German garrison – which facilitated the German stationing in the Horn of South Africa in an open and honest manner.

On November 29, in his presidential inaugural speech (his inauguration went through special procedures, Truman proposed his resignation, the Senate and House of Representatives unanimously agreed to hold an early referendum of the citizens' corps and announced Dewey's succession), Dewey reluctantly admitted that the South African troops had no choice but to surrender under the condition that the enemy forces were several times more powerful, and there were no supplies inside and no rescuers outside, and they faithfully fulfilled their promise and fought until the last moment.

When he said this, he must not have known that more than 60,000 American officers and soldiers had already entered the German prisoner of war camps - because the Germans were moving too fast, Lauder arranged for less than 20,000 troops to leave Cape Town and sail to Australia, and the rest were all disarmed on the spot and became German prisoners of war. However, the fate of the fleeing American troops was worse than that of surrendering, and after Guderian knew that someone had escaped by boat, he directly sent a note to Japan, asking the Japanese Indian Ocean Theater to send troops to intercept it.

Dewey even more consciously or unconsciously ignored the fact that Vice Admiral Bradley, who had repeatedly said that he had fought to the end, was now hiding in a submarine with men and making a difficult long journey towards Recife.

Had it not been for Hoffmann's lack of interest in expanding the SS now, and the creation of a second SS Army Group, Washington would have been filled with despair – and the whole of November would have been a nightmare month for the United States.

"Very well, now that the troops have finally been liberated......," Hoffman laughed, "let Winck prepare to receive New Guinea, and then send the rest of the troops to South America in order, Dewey doesn't want to agree to our terms?" This is easy to do, let Erwin and Mashal use artillery and planes to tell him, inform Comrade Ribbentrop to increase the bargaining price, the Americans are no longer interested, I will use South African tactics against Ridgway in Recife. ”

Everyone knows that this is a joke of the Führer, and the supply routes in South America cannot support a Blitzkrieg 2.0, but it is good to scare the Americans.

The settlement of the South African issue shocked the US government and the opposition, and even more shocked the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which not only meant that Germany had completely mastered Europe and the African continent, but could also suppress all its forces.

Dewey was forced to retreat from his original position and agreed to Germany's control of South Africa and Brazil, but this time it was obvious that Germany was asking for a higher price, and Ribbentrop, who understood it, arrogantly pointed out: It is not enough to give Brazil alone, the whole of South America must be handed over to Germany, Panama will be governed by the European countries, the Caribbean will be divided, Cuba and Puerto Rico will be independent from the United Kingdom, Haiti can continue to be given to the United States, and the rest will be given to the European countries to rule by mandate.

Italy's new Prime Minister Ciano is eager to try this and resolutely supports it, because Hoffman has always said that St. Kitts, Antigua and other islands will be handed over to Italy, so that Italy can enjoy the sphere of influence in South America and the Caribbean as a great power, which makes the Italians very satisfied, and even Mussolini, who has not appeared for a long time, has been pushed out to publicly gesture to express his firm support.

These conditions were intolerable to the Americans, and neither the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Capitol Hill, nor the oligarchs behind the scenes could agree to lose so many rights and interests, so the Dewey administration adopted a procrastination tactic, intending to let the Atlantic Fleet compete with the Germans in real arms after it regained its strength in December.

However, the Atlantic Fleet still has a way to recover one or two, and in the Pacific and Hawaiian directions, the Americans are really worried that there is no way out......
