Chapter 1738: America is over
"General, the third line of defense was broken by the Germans. The defenders were either wiped out by the Germans, or surrendered to the Germans. Now, the Germans are not far from downtown Washington." Major General Eisenhower said dejectedly. Admiral Marshall reported.
Admiral Marshall and other generals of the US Army General Staff also had very ugly faces. They are also very clear about the situation on the front line. Under the fierce attack of the German army, a large number of U.S. troops surrendered to the German army in an organized manner, which also accelerated the defeat of the U.S. military. Faced with such a situation, the U.S. Army General Staff simply cannot stop it.
Although they have issued a strict order prohibiting the US military from surrendering to the German army. Even the military police were sent to supervise. But the final result is often that the gendarmes also surrendered to the German army.
Admiral Marshall frowned tightly. At this time, he knew very well that the United States was over. It is already impossible to rely on military means to resist the German attack. The current US military has suffered heavy losses, and has completely lost its fighting spirit. Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to expect the US military to resist the German attack? That is simply impossible!
It is President Roosevelt's request to defend Washington DC and fight the German army here for the final decisive battle. Of course, President Roosevelt did this for the future of the United States, hoping to strive for a decent peace. But who would have thought that the U.S. military is so vulnerable now?
"Everyone, what suggestions do you have for the current situation?" Admiral Marshall asked. There was obvious helplessness in his words. Regarding the current battle situation, even he, the chief of staff, is helpless.
"General, the current situation is beyond our control. Although we still have a lot of troops. However, no matter how many troops we have, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the Germans. If we continue to fight, we will only lose It's even more ugly." Deputy Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney said.
"Yes, General. The battle is over. Our troops are dwindling every moment. The Germans only need to close in on our lines, not even to attack. Our troops will swarm surrendered to the Germans, who now have no will to fight and no shame. Everyone wants to survive. They have completely abandoned the American Republic." Assistant Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Leslie McNair Said.
Admiral Marshall couldn't help but smiled wryly. Everyone knows the current situation very well! Everyone thinks America is doomed. America has no future.
"It seems that we have no other choice but to surrender to the Germans. I hope God can have mercy on the American Republic!" Admiral Marshall sighed.
In desperate situations, seeking peace from the Germans undoubtedly became the last option. It's a pity that the Germans will definitely not let the United States go. If you think about it with your toes, the Germans will definitely put forward very harsh conditions this time, so that the United States will never have a chance to stand up again. After all, before the war broke out, the United States had been aggressive and wanted to challenge Germany's world dominance. As a result, it turned out that the seemingly powerful United States was nothing more than a paper tiger. In fact, it was completely vulnerable and was easily defeated by the German army. But now the United States needs to pay the price for its arrogance. The Germans will not let go of this opportunity, and they will definitely kill the United States severely. Even, the United States may cease to exist and become a historical term.
Although, all of this is definitely not what Americans want to see. It is even more a disgrace to these soldiers. But now, they have no other choice. Who made them lose in this war?
Now America is no different from meat on a chopping board. The Germans have raised their butcher knives high, ready to slaughter them at any time. This is also impossible! As long as there is a chance, the United States will not fall into such a field.
"General, report to His Excellency the President. The army, there is no way to continue fighting." Major General Eisenhower said.
Joseph? McNerney Lieutenant General and Leslie? McNair Lieutenant General both nodded.
Everyone is very clear that if they continue to fight, they will only pay more casualties. Even, it will not cause any loss to the German army at all. Because there will be more and more American troops surrendering.
Admiral Marshall nodded. He also knew that he needed to help President Roosevelt make up his mind.
At this moment, there were dense explosions above their heads. The ceiling of the entire basement began to tremble, and the dust kept falling down, making these generals feel ashamed one by one.
"Bombardment, this is the Germans starting a large-scale bombardment of Washington!" Major General Eisenhower paled.
"The Germans have occupied our third line of defense, and they can already use artillery to directly bombard downtown Washington." Lieutenant General Joseph McNerney said.
"It is absolutely impossible to continue the fight. Otherwise, the Germans will be able to kill all our troops by shelling alone." Lieutenant General Leslie McNair also said.
Obviously, the current situation has become even more unfavorable to the US military. It can be said that judging from the current situation, the US military has no hope of making a comeback. If they choose to continue to resist, then what awaits them will be death. The Germans will kill them all without mercy. The current German army is fully capable of doing all this.
"After the German shelling is over, I will go to see Your Excellency the President." Admiral Marshall said.
The heavy shelling by the German army lasted for several hours. Although, before the German army launched a large-scale bombing, Washington had already been bombed into ruins by the Luftwaffe. However, the U.S. military built a large number of fortifications and deployed a large number of troops in the ruins. But now, amidst the overwhelming German bombardment, the U.S. military has once again paid a heavy price. Not only were the fortifications nearly destroyed, but the casualties of the troops were even more terrifying. This also caused the already sluggish morale of the US military to drop directly to the bottom. If the German army continues to attack, most of the American soldiers will definitely put down their weapons and surrender to the Germans.
