These 600,000 losses are not like the German army on the Eastern Front, which is a cumulative casualty of a little loss, a little supplement, and then a loss, 80% of the 600,000 troops are lost at one time, and even if they are rebuilt, they only have a number and no soul, which is a devastating blow to combat effectiveness.

Although these units account for only 10 percent of the 6 million army strength, they are all units in the army that can barely be called to have a certain combat effectiveness. At present, in addition to the nearly 200,000 troops commanded by Ridgway in Recife, the more than 100,000 troops on the front line in Australia and New Zealand, and the tens of thousands of troops on the front line in Central America, the US army is full of well-equipped, logistically excellent, and physically fit recruits who have little combat experience.

This is also why at every critical moment, the US military can only find a way to protect the retreat of the officers first, Washington also knows that this kind of behavior hurts morale, but there is a complete unavoidable hardship, if even the officers can't be saved, who will command this group of junior brothers? To put it bluntly, not to mention the elite of the German army, which has been fighting for five years and has experienced a hundred battles, it is the SS Army Group America that is currently fighting soy sauce with the German army on the Eastern Front, and now it can be regarded as a first-class elite in the United States.

Only the two airborne divisions under the command of Ridgway have fought with the German army several times in a row, and the scene is not down, and they have also been given the opportunity to reorganize, reorganize, and learn, and they have grown very fast, and they can be regarded as the only troops that can face the German army head-on, but this kind of force is too few, not even 1% of the 6 million US Army, and MacArthur can't help it no matter how high his morale is.

Therefore, as soon as General Jin provoked the law to come out, the army side was speechless, and in the end there was only waiting and delaying.

Of course, the Navy didn't say anything to death, the Navy was still ready to compete with the Axis Combined Fleet, but the time was tentatively set at 1945 months, when the Atlantic Fleet could probably gather 10 Essex-class aircraft carriers and related warships and supporting pilots, while Spruance and Turner estimated that the Axis Fleet aircraft carriers in the Atlantic direction should not exceed 7 (currently 5), and the United States had about 50% advantage; At the same time, if there are no major changes, the Air Force can at least recover to more than 5,000 groups, which will greatly relieve the pressure.

The unanimous opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was similar to that of Admiral King: to launch an attack on the German fleet in May 1945, to strive for a decisive battle of "losing both sides", to eliminate the follow-up reinforcements and maritime superiority of the German army, and then to use sufficient army forces to encircle and fight, and to deal with individual strongholds that could not be taken, if the atomic weapons studied by the "Manhattan Project" were initially mature, they would be prepared to try to seek a "final solution" (the US military does not understand the power of the atomic bomb yet, and only regards it as a special bomb with great lethality). Strive to make Germany realize the power of the United States by fighting a hearty South American counterattack, and then the two sides sit down and sign a more decent peace treaty. The United States will desperately save up 12 years of warships and planes to deal with Japan, and strive to push the other side to the front line in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia, so that when Dewey's first term ends and he is about to seek re-election, the United States can obtain a good strategic pattern, and it will also be convenient for Dewey to seek re-election.

As for whether Japan can be completely defeated, it depends on the war situation and Germany's attitude. In the assumption of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, it was no longer possible to push back Germany, and it was probably a more ideal result for the two sides to call each other across the Atlantic (southern South America acquiesced to the German army to retain the American republics),

Once the U.S. military gains the upper hand and can resume material assistance to Japan and China, it will strive to arm China and East Russia again and use their steady forces to deal with the Japanese Army, while the United States will only concentrate on dealing with the Combined Fleet.

In the future, Japan will either be eliminated or defeated so that it no longer poses a threat, and then the United States can take Russia and China together to confront the European Union, spend 1020 years, use the huge industrial and economic power of the United States to fight a "soft war" with the European Union, and then launch a counteroffensive when the situation is favorable.

The latter "grand" idea was too far for Dewey, but the idea of turning the tables and restoring a rough balance before the end of his first term was still appealing, which is why he finally pinched his nose and decided to be a shrunken turtle.

It's a pity that the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny: the Hawaiian side can't hold on for more than a day now, and during the day on December 23, the Japanese army completely occupied Lanai Island and Molokai Island, and thousands of American troops stationed on the two islands died or surrendered, and Japan thus divided and surrounded the American troops in the two directions of Oahu and Hawaii Island, and now the United States only has three large islands, Lake Wa, Hawaii and Maui, and the next target of the Japanese army, which has newly received reinforcements and supplies, is obviously Maui.

Compared with the precarious defensive situation that could collapse at any time, the current delivery of materials to the direction of Hawaii is more difficult, and the submarine transportation has only become one time, and I am afraid that it will be too late to succeed next time.

According to Turner's suggestion, the US military imitated the Japanese army during the Kuah Island period and used high-speed destroyers to dispatch the "San Francisco Express" and the "Los Angeles Express." I don't know whether it was bad luck or the US Navy's night vision capability was too poor, in short, the effect was very bad, and the eight destroyers involved in the operation were sunk by the Japanese army, and two returned in vain, and only three rushed into the target range and successfully delivered supplies.

It is said that some people have cried and begged the Japanese people on the island to tell them to write slogans "welcome" the Japanese army and other ways to greet them, and even secretly hoarded Japanese flags to show their status as "good citizens". Failure to protect civilians is the shame of soldiers!

As for organizing guerrilla warfare, he never thought about it, because with the size and population of Hawaii, fighting guerrilla warfare is completely seeking death. Of course, he Doolittle is a hero who bombed Tokyo, and he will not surrender even if he dies!

On December 24, Christmas Eve, an even bigger blow to the U.S. government followed, and German Propaganda Minister Goebbels delivered a speech through the "Voice of Europe", which caused a shock:

"The German government has appealed to the US government for peace through various channels on more than one occasion, especially after the establishment of the new Dewey administration, and has communicated more closely, expressing its willingness to conclude a peace treaty with the United States without cession of land and no compensation, but how does the US government repay our goodwill?

Through the conspirators lurking in Great Britain, they used a handful of terrorists they had raised and bought to carry out terrorist attacks during the Führer's visit to Britain, not only by the dishonorable means of assassination, but also by the Führer and his wife!

They gathered all the forces they could muster and used car bombs, suicide attacks, poisoning and all other despicable means to launch terrorist attacks on the Führer's convoy, Buckingham Palace, and the Führer's collapse!

When the first and second assassination plots were revealed, the unrepentant American conspirators gathered nearly 100 terrorists again in the evening of the same day to besiege the hospital where the British and German soldiers who had been wounded in the first two battles were located, causing hundreds of innocent civilian casualties

Thinking of the acts of snatching the warships of the Royal Navy, kidnapping the British royal family, kidnapping the heads of the British armed forces, and killing Marshal Pound in public for ulterior purposes a few months ago, it fully shows how mad these unscrupulous war criminals have become! Chivalry and moral exhortation are completely ineffective against such a morally degraded war government, and can only be "tooth for tooth and blood for blood!" ", can only give the most violent counterattack!

On behalf of the German Government, I solemnly declare:

From now on, the war will escalate in an all-round way, and the relevant targets in the United States, regardless of military and civilian use, will be included in the scope of attack as long as Germany deems it useful to punish the criminals and end the war, and the most violent means of retaliation will be applied!

From now on, the Axis countries will use all means of attack and all weapons of war against the US mainland, and will no longer give prior warning or warning!

From now on, Germany will send an additional 300,000 troops, 4,000 tanks, 5,000 planes and 10,000 rockets to the American theater of operations, guaranteeing that all the war resources it has will be used to fight the US military!

I am convinced that in this decisive battle that will determine the fate of mankind, the German people, educated and trained in National Socialism, will bear the full truth and the price, will rally more closely around the party with the Führer at the core, and win the war with all their wisdom, strength and blood, and in the end the country will stand tall and the storm will disappear! ”

Forty-seven Axis allies, including Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Russia (Western Russia), Romania, Hungary, and Ukraine, sent messages of solidarity, condemning the unscrupulous attacks of the United States and its accomplices, and pledging to devote all their war resources to the war against the United States until the final victory; Young people from all over Europe enthusiastically signed up for the SS and were willing to defend the Führer with "life and loyalty"!

Neutral countries such as the Papal States, Switzerland, and Sweden expressed their condolences to the Führer and called on the United States to renounce this inhumane act of war and quickly punish the parties involved!

When the news spread, Dewey himself and the people in the Communion were as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly.
