Chapter 1670 Rapid Reinforcement

"Gentlemen, how did this happen? Didn't everyone conclude before that the Germans would attack the Caribbean? But now, the Germans have given us another slap in the face! They have actually attacked Newfoundland." President Roosevelt looked very surprised anger.

This is an emergency meeting held by the U.S. Army Staff, and all the main generals of the Army attended this meeting.

The U.S. Army was also shocked to learn that the German army had actually landed in Newfoundland. And it's not just because a lot of people have been slapped. It is even more because the actions of the German army have posed a fatal threat to the United States.

"Your Excellency, I am very sorry. The Germans are too cunning. So, we have all been fooled by them again." Admiral Marshall looked ashamed.

As the saying goes, one cannot fall twice in the same place. However, the United States is already in the hands of the Germans, and has been fooled more than twice. I don't know whether the Germans are too cunning or they are too stupid.

"Your Excellency, it is useless to pursue responsibility now. The most important thing is, how can we resist the German attack? Once the Germans take Newfoundland, we will be even more dangerous ’ said Secretary Henry Stimson.

President Roosevelt nodded: "General Marshall, what does the Army plan to do?"

"Your Excellency, we must defend Newfoundland. In other words, we must not only resist the Germans' attack in Newfoundland, but also drive them into the sea. Let them have a bloody blow in Newfoundland. said Admiral Marshall.

President Roosevelt couldn't help frowning: "Can it be achieved?"

Obviously, President Roosevelt was skeptical.

"Your Excellency, we will do our best to achieve it," said Admiral Marshall.

"The Army Air Force will immediately dispatch bombers to bomb the German landing field in Newfoundland." Army Air Force Commander General Henry Arnold said.

"The Americans must have quite a few aircraft carriers near Newfoundland. If the Army Air Force dispatched fighter planes to bomb, they would definitely be intercepted by German carrier-based planes," President Roosevelt said.

"Your Excellency, the Germans have already launched a landing operation in North America. No matter how much the loss is, we have to stop them!" Admiral Arnold's attitude was very firm.

President Roosevelt nodded. Now is indeed the time to do our best. The casualties will certainly be great, but no matter how great they are, they have to persevere. Otherwise, once the Germans have gained a firm foothold in North America. At that time, they will pay a greater price.

"How long can the British last on Newfoundland? Will it be enough for us to send reinforcements north?" President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency, the British do not have many troops on Newfoundland. According to the news we just received, they only have three infantry divisions on Newfoundland. They promised to increase their troops to Newfoundland before." .However, because the Germans seem to be launching an attack on the Caribbean Sea, they will suspend the increase of troops to Newfoundland." Admiral Marshall replied.

"Idiot! Are those British people confused? At this moment, they are still thinking of luck! Now, it's time for them to suffer!" President Roosevelt was very angry.

But unfortunately, the British will suffer for themselves. But at the same time, it will also pull the United States into it!

"Yes, Your Excellency. We have strictly demanded that the British increase their troops to Newfoundland. They are required to resist the German attack in Newfoundland no matter what." Admiral Marshall said.

"The Germans are ready. Even if the British start to reinforce now, it may be difficult to stop the Germans." President Roosevelt sighed.

Admiral Marshall was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Excellency, no matter what, our army must be prepared and go north to reinforce the British. It is impossible to resist the German attack by relying on the strength of the British alone. "

President Roosevelt nodded and accepted the suggestion.

Although this time the British made a big mistake. But the United States cannot sit back and watch Britain and Germany desperately. Because, they know very well that once Britain is finished, it will be their turn next. Everyone understands the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Therefore, the United States must reinforce the United Kingdom before the United Kingdom collapses, so that they can persist.

However, although the United States is next to Canada. At the same time, the transportation facilities are also very perfect. It is not difficult to send troops from the United States to reinforce Canada.

However, the main force of the US military is now deployed in the South and the Caribbean. On the Atlantic line of defense, there are still a large number of troops. It will take time to deploy troops now. Also, the weather is very bad right now. There was a heavy snowfall just now, which greatly affected the railway transportation. If the U.S. Army wants to go north to reinforce the United Kingdom, it will take a lot of time.

However, the United States issued the most stringent requirements to the British side. They demanded that the British army quickly reinforce Newfoundland and must resist the German attack in Newfoundland.

At the same time, the U.S. government also promised the British government that the U.S. military would send reinforcements northward to reinforce the British troops as soon as possible.

After Prime Minister Churchill received the telegram from the US government, without much hesitation, he issued an order for the British Army to fully reinforce Newfoundland.

Although, some people worry that the so-called reinforcements by the Americans are just a cover. They actually want to see the United Kingdom and Germany desperately, so that they can pick up the bargain later.

But did Prime Minister Churchill and the British government have any other options? They can only pin their hopes on the timely dispatch of reinforcements by the Americans. Otherwise, once Newfoundland falls into the hands of the Germans, Britain will inevitably bear the brunt of the attack.

Under Churchill's order, the British Army mobilized quickly. Troops deployed in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia began scrambling to board ships for delivery to Newfoundland.

Although the Royal Navy was almost wiped out. But they also have some cruisers and destroyers, and torpedo boats and things like that. Submarines have some too. There are even more merchant ships. In this case, they can still ensure safety in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

In addition, the Royal Air Force also dispatched a large number of fighter planes to provide escort for them. This made the British Army begin to boldly reinforce Newfoundland with confidence.
