More than 3 million German troops suddenly made a strong attack, and the intensity of the offensive exceeded the previous estimates of Soviet Russia.

Faced with a series of onslaughts, the Russians did not react adequately.

The time for their planned counteroffensive was set for around December, and before that, a series of arrangements were under heavy pressure from the Germans, some of whom were ill-prepared, and the Germans quickly took the initiative.

In the north, with the help of the foothold of the ice-free port of Murmansk, with the assistance of the fleet of the H-class battleship Prussia, the German army attacked from the land, sea and air sides, captured Arkhangelsk, an important port for Britain and the United States to support Soviet Russia, and then took control of the White Sea coast.

With the abundant oil and material supplies accumulated in Moscow, the German troops in the center once again hit the city of Gorky in one go.

In the south, the Germans, who had already repaired the oil wells near Grozny and erected the oil pipes, received enough oil to charge south, continued their march to Baku. This time, the Germans intended to rush directly over the Caucasus Mountains and annihilate the three hundred thousand Soviet troops in the south, who from time to time threatened the nearby oil fields.

Britain and the United States are now also taking care of themselves, and the Germans have not reduced the pressure on the Western Front.

The fighting on the island of Great Britain has never stopped, and the Germans, who have conquered London and have initially gained a foothold, can greatly alleviate the logistical pressure by relying on all kinds of supplies on British soil. Although the German navy still did not have an advantage in the English Channel, the Junkers and prehistoric giants obtained from Huaxia and Shanzhai companies supported Germany's air lifeline to London.

With an airfield near London and enough temporary airfields, the Luftwaffe did not need to cross the English Channel to intercept the British and American warhawks very quickly.

Although the American pilots are involved in a large number, at least in front of the battle-hardened trump cards of the Germans, and in front of the super-powerful fighters that have been catalyzed in advance by the bases, they still do not have much advantage, at least when the European center of gravity of the Americans is not placed here.

When things went wrong in Italy, the Americans focused on it.

Like the Germans, war looted wealth and more technology.

Although the Italian army was noodle, it followed the Germans and also against many countries in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Even France and other places have carried out looting, and even on the island of Great Britain and the land of Soviet Russia, there are noodle troops.

In later generations, when the world's eyes were drawn to the war wealth of Germany and Japan, several people thought of the battle trophies of the Italian army.

Not wealth, but technology, post-war Italy's success in light weapons, naval artillery and automobiles was not just based on its own accumulation.

In the aura of pre-World War II Europe, a technological mecca, even those small countries had some high-tech skills. Even if the Germans had the majority, the Italians, who were the second force at the time, would have been able to get a piece of the pie.

Whether it's wealth or technology. As well as the interests in the numerous colonies in the hands of the Italians, all wanted by the Americans.

Although the Holy See can still turn the clouds near the core territory, it is weakened after all, and as long as they retain enough interests, they will compromise.

Mussolini's arrest was a case in point, and if the Americans go one step further, they may be able to get more.

For many years, Americans' peep into Europe has been blocked by the old Anglo-French empires.

Even now the French are down. The British are fragile and can't even keep their home, but the land snakes naturally have their own rules of the game.

At least on the island of Great Britain, the Americans were still crushed by the British. It can also be said that it was crushed by the entire European natives, led by the British.

Although the whole of Europe fell under the iron heel of the Germans, no matter which European country it hoped to receive strong support from the Americans, it did not want the Americans to press on the heads of the Europeans who were intoxicated with the glory of the past. …,

Even the American navy in Europe was constrained by the British navy and could not exert its full combat power.

And at this time, the opening of the second battlefield, among which there was no lack of ideas in which the Americans wanted to take the lead independently.

The Americans also want to show their muscles alone in front of the whole world and lay the foundation for world hegemony in the future. Otherwise, they are just rich and rich, relying on their former second-rate army level as evaluated by the world. It is not convincing, so the cost of conquest is too high.

In the previous life, the Americans had half of the world's industrial power, but they had to fight a cold war with the Soviet Russians, except for the element of erecting targets. It also has something to do with the soft feet of the American Army, which did not achieve as good a record as Soviet Russia in World War II.

But at this time, the Americans were still bent on a battle that shocked the whole world.

In fact, the Americans also gradually gained most of the right to speak on the second battlefield, shaking off the shackles of the British.

With constant support from the American war machine. The Americans have already made a strong presence in Tunisia and Sicily. However, this light was obscured by the strong aura of the German chariot, and even this scale was not comparable to the Soviet Russians who charged fiercely, not to mention that they were slapped in the face by the Japanese and China respectively in Asia.

The Americans are not convinced, and they want to kick the boot of Europe in Italy.

But apparently the Germans reacted faster, and Mussolini was quickly rescued and stranded in northern Italy, which was under the full control of the German army. Not only did he blackmail the princes, but at least Mussolini understood his crisis, and under his frantic counterattack, the Italian army loyal to him cooperated with the Germans and began to sweep through Italy.

Mussolini was rescued in advance, which also changed the history of the successful landing of the Allied troops in Italy, with the timely support of the Italian army, the German troops evacuated from Sicily, under the command of Marshal Kesselring, actually blocked the landing of the Americans, and dragged until the German reinforcements continued to arrive.

In order not to make the end of the second battlefield a joke, the Americans began to lean more towards here, especially the navy and air force, which are more capable of attacking.

It also delayed the actions that the Americans intended to do in Asia.

It is clear that with the large-scale war that the Germans have set off in Europe, the Chinese strategy of delaying has once again taken effect.

To be precise, as long as China does not fall to Germany, and the Japanese are greedy and unwilling to spit out the interests of Southeast Asia, Britain and the United States will not completely tear their faces with China.

Although even the Americans have noticed the threat from Huaxia and no longer sell some sensitive high-tech and equipment to Huaxia, at least in the face of the immediate threat, the Americans do not want to directly tear their faces with Huaxia.

As for future threats, at least for the short term, the number one target for the Americans is not them.

Although the Chinese army and air force showed a strong posture, they still did not worry the Americans too much.

The main thing is that the Chinese navy has fallen.

The effect of the Japanese blockade of China has been seen by Britain and the United States.

The Americans are confident that they will be able to do better than the Japanese in the future, and even the Chinese air force will fold its wings under the powerful anti-aircraft artillery system and air force system of the Americans.

The Americans are also confident that they will be able to completely block Australia, which is occupied by China, after tearing their faces in the future. Of course, this will not be until the great scourge in Europe is eliminated.

After Australia was occupied by China, although the Americans did not have a complete showdown with China, they still wanted to organize a large-scale battle in Asia and show off their muscles.

However, due to the tension of the war in Europe, the actions used by the Americans to break the situation in Asia were somewhat reduced, and they could no longer bear the wrath of the Chinese and could only choose the Japanese as the target. …,

In fact, the Americans' primary target in Asia is still the Japanese.

From the very beginning, the Americans had the intention of using the Japanese as swords, following the Japanese attack route, and seizing the colonies of the British and Dutch. In order not to turn against the UK, they had no intention of attacking Australia from the beginning. Not to mention that the relationship with the British is not worth the loss, just the residents of Australia will also be a great headache for the Americans.

They don't need such a colony, what they need is a market, and with Australian Prime Minister Curtin taking the initiative to come up, the interests of the United States are enough to be guaranteed.

Their goal of controlling the colonies was chosen in Southeast Asia from the outset.

At this time, Southeast Asia was still mainly in the hands of the Japanese, including the Philippines, which the Japanese had been reluctant to let go.

Of course, the Americans did not directly attack the Philippines, which the world recognized as their own, but chose to target Britain or other colonies of the Netherlands.

The reason for the Chinese is the same as that of the Chinese, to fight the Japanese, the invaders and fascists. Moreover, the preemptive clause in the Atlantic Treaty, signed by the Americans and Britain and other countries, is more legal.

As a result, the Americans chose to target other islands in Australia for this time.

In addition to the convenience of the US military to transfer troops from New Zealand and East Samoa, it also has the meaning of arranging the island chain to suppress the Australian mainland occupied by China, so as to prepare for a future turnaround.

It's just that the Americans, in choosing the first target for attack, did not choose Fiji, Vanuatu, etc.

"We can attack here!" Nimitz pointed to the Solomon Islands on the map, "As long as we control the Coral Sea, we can not only attack Irian Island and the Carolingian Islands in the north, but also block the supply lines of Vanuatu and Fiji occupied by the Japanese, and here we can also cut off the Chinese people's attempts to land on Irian Island from Australia to the north!" ”

So with the final approval of Washington, the long-overdue Battle of the Coral Sea began. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come - (.) Vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )……，
