Chapter 2017 The Crown Prince and Pershing 1

According to Taft's thinking, the first thing he would talk about after seeing Pershing was how to get rid of America's dependence on Germany in the future Pacific War. General Xing is discussing with Crown Prince Ruprecht how to fight the land battle in the Pacific War in the future. No way, in the entire United States, you can't find someone who is as proficient in large-scale military service as the crown prince. * Speaking of the combat effectiveness of the German Army, it can make any other country bow down.

Someone may ask, why did Crown Prince Ruprecht have time to discuss the Pacific War with the Americans before the outbreak of the war? There must be time, not to mention the need to prepare for the decisive battle in the future. In fact, if the French cooperate, then Germany's heavy damage to the British Expeditionary Force will be a top-notch situation. The real difficulty is not fighting on the battlefield, but letting The French admit their counsel, but what if the French do not admit their counsel? The crown prince has also made arrangements, that is to directly kill the rhythm of the French. Now it seems that the French are almost unable to hold on, and maybe a fierce demonstration can make the French succumb.

And now? How to control the future relationship between Germany and the United States is actually more important than fighting on the battlefield! After all, the things on the battlefield and the planning for several months can be described as coming naturally. And what about the current German-American relations? It is jumping to a very important node. In Ruprecht’s view, the end of the war must not signal the end of the friendly period of German-US relations. The relationship between the two parties must be suspended for at least 7 to 8 years, until Germany recovers from the wounds of the war and roughly digests the new situation. After occupying the colonies, Germany has enough confidence.

And now, although there are hidden mysteries in the relationship between the United States and Germany, Ruprecht is also willing to give the Americans advice in the future Pacific War when everyone is an ally. In Dali, it is the country's strategic situation, but in Dali, it is related to how much Germany can benefit from it!

In Ruprecht's living room, there is a huge sand table, and this sand table describes the situation of New Guinea, the second largest island in the world. In this area, less than a quarter of the place was colonized by the British, while the remaining three-quarters were occupied by the Japanese. The west of Zhiyu was formerly Dutch, while the northeast was It was originally intended to be ceded to the United States by Germany.

Pershing directly studied the situation in New Guinea, and did not consider places such as the Bismarck Islands and Truk Atoll, because in his opinion, these places are the problems that the fox needs to solve, and if the Yongguo Fox helps, Then this problem is not a problem!

"To be honest, in the current state of the United States of America, it is very difficult to achieve your goal-to completely drive Japan out of the Netherlands, because the military force you are going to mobilize now is too weak. Fox, the German fleet The Fleet of the United States can guarantee a huge advantage in the decisive battle of the fleet, but it is difficult to ensure the smooth flow of the route. As for the land battle? Even if you exclude the areas controlled by the British, you have to fight in a dense forest and complex terrain. An area larger than France engaged in a large-scale battle with hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops."

"I don't know how many troops your country can mobilize in the end, but from my point of view, if you want to completely eliminate your opponents from a military perspective, it is impossible to have an army of more than 400,000 troops at the front. It means that there are at least 400,000 troops behind. People are serving the frontline army." Earl Caliput said.

"How many troops can Japan transfer from the mainland to here?" the black old man said dissatisfiedly. He thought the German earl's words were a bit exaggerated.

"In the Russo-Japanese War (in this plane) the Japanese concentrated more than 500,000 first-line legions, and now they have been operating in New Guinea for more than a year,

If you wait until you officially go to war, I guess the Japanese have been preparing for 3 years, and the most terrible thing is that you can't cut off the Japanese supply line. "Caliput said.

"Are you talking about the British? Damn it, we should join forces to go to London, and then we can completely solve the Far East issue." Pershing said, the Chinese control the southeastern part of New Guinea after all, and the British It is an ally of the Japanese, so from this perspective, it is impossible to cut off the Japanese supply line on New Guinea. Because the United States will never fight against Britain and Japan at the same time!

Of course, if the United States declares war on the United Kingdom at this time, and then completely defeats the United Kingdom with the German fox, then this problem will naturally be solved, but in fact, in the eyes of the United States, this Yang is impossible. Political reasons tied the hands and feet of the United States and Germany, so the war on New Guinea was quite difficult. From the perspective of the army, it is very difficult to solve these problems.

"If we want to fight for islands one by one, then this battle will be very long, and it will exceed the endurance of our two countries. After all, your country does not intend to fight a protracted all-out war. The German Empire has just experienced After a great war, we need to recuperate. Therefore, this kind of thinking must be abandoned, and then we need to use a different way of thinking to fight the war." At this time, Crown Prince Ruprecht walked into the conference room and said.

"All ears." For the supreme commander of the German army, Pershing was full of respect, even a little humble. After all, their record can definitely be called shining through the ages.

"The purpose of war is to make the opponent submit. There are two types of submission. The first is that we seize their territory piece by piece and make it impossible for them to regain it. The other is that in the protracted war of attrition, the opponent first I couldn't hold it anymore, and then I was forced to admit defeat. The way of fighting to seize the islands one by one is obviously the first, and this tactic is not good. The price of the protracted tug-of-war is really high."

"Therefore, the strategy we adopt should be the second one, forcing the Japanese to surrender through an all-round war of attrition. Take New Guinea as an example. In fact, we don't need to occupy every inch of land on the island and wipe out all the Japanese. In the war in the Far East, the key is the fox, and if we want to defeat Japan, we must establish a supply line stretching from Pearl Harbor to the Netherlands. Therefore, from this point of view, the island of New Guinea is really valuable to us. Only those important islands, port cities, and some special points along the coast, as long as we can occupy these areas, we can meet our strategic needs, and there is no need to go deeper." Ruprecht said.
