Chapter 1675 No choice

Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island, next to Canada. In particular, Cape Breton Island is only separated from the Nova Scotia Peninsula by a strait of about one kilometer. If the German army can capture Cape Breton Island, it will undoubtedly be much easier for them to land further on the Nova Scotia Peninsula.

After Kaiser Qin Tian approved the launch of the landing operations on Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island, the German army became busy again. The five marine divisions of the German Marine Corps in Newfoundland were all in action. In addition, the 1st Army, which has arrived in the theater, is also ready for battle.

This time, the British Army has deployed heavy troops on Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island. It will be very difficult to completely occupy these two islands with just a few marine divisions. What's more, once the Germans launch an attack, the British will definitely work hard. They will continue to put reinforcements on the battlefield. This will further increase the difficulty for the German army to capture these two islands.

Therefore, if the German army wants to successfully capture these two islands, and even go further to the Nova Scotia Peninsula, it has to prepare more troops.

Fortunately, the other two armies of the German Army Group A, namely the 4th Army and the 10th Army, are almost on the battlefield. The General Staff even planned to incorporate the later formed 25th and 26th Army into Army Group A.

In addition, Army Group B and Army Group C will also participate in the offensive after the war has entered a stable stage. Many of Germany's vassal states are also gearing up.

After the demise of Russia, the slave countries that followed the German army to defeat Russia on the Russian battlefield received a lot of benefits. Once Germany can defeat the United States and Britain this time, they will definitely be able to gain more benefits.

Marshal Bromberg, the commander of the German Army Group A and the commander of the 1st Army, set up his headquarters in Tripesy. After his arrival, he has become the supreme commander of the German army in this battle. The three major fleets of the navy will also fully cooperate with them in combat.

"Your Excellency, Marshal, when the 4th Army arrives, we can start attacking. The British have deployed more than 100,000 people on Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island respectively. But if we can invest in two Army Groups to launch Offensively, it would be very easy to defeat them," said Marine Corps Commander Admiral Ernst von Busch.

Marshal Bromberg nodded: "The 4th Army will arrive in two days. However, the Marine Corps will need to launch an offensive first to seize the beachhead. It will be easier for the Army to land after that."

"Your Excellency Marshal, this is the duty of the Marine Corps, and we will definitely complete the task." Admiral Ernst von Busch patted his chest and promised. The mission of the Marine Corps is to launch a landing operation. In this regard, they are experts, much more proficient than the Army.

Afterwards, Marshal Bromberg discussed with the commanders of the Navy's Home Fleet, Atlantic Fleet, and Mediterranean Fleet, and confirmed that the Navy's fleet will fully support them in the next offensive. This made Marshal Bromberg make relevant preparations.

The date of the attack on Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island was placed on November 30. At this time, the 4th Army has arrived. With the addition of the five divisions of the Marine Corps, the number of German troops that can be used for attack in Newfoundland has reached 500,000.

Although, compared with the strength of the British Army, the German army is completely at a disadvantage. Before the war, the British Army maintained a size of one million troops. Now, the British Army has also begun a crazy military expansion. Seeing that their army size is about to expand to two million. It's just that most of the recruits have not undergone systematic training, and they haven't even assembled enough weapons and equipment, let alone participating in actual combat. It is also conceivable what kind of performance it will have once it is sent to the battlefield. Therefore, these recruits can't be counted on for a while.

Now the main forces of the British Army are concentrated in Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec City.

After the German army completely occupied Newfoundland, the British Army obviously did not have the strength to retake the island. Especially in the absence of command of the sea and the air, launching a counterattack to Newfoundland at this time is completely death. In previous battles, the British army had already lost hundreds of thousands of people. Whether it is the generals of the British Army or Prime Minister Churchill, they are reluctant to let the troops be wasted in vain.

"Your Excellency, the current situation is very unfavorable to us. After the Germans captured Newfoundland, they continued to increase their troops there. According to the intelligence obtained by our reconnaissance plane, the Germans may have assembled dozens of people in Newfoundland. There are tens of thousands of troops," said Minister David Magson.

Prime Minister Churchill frowned tightly, and the German army sent troops to Newfoundland on such a large scale. Obviously there is only one purpose, and that is to prepare for further attacks.

Once the preparations of the German army are completed, the offensive will inevitably be launched again. This is undoubtedly a great challenge for the British Army.

"Where would the Germans attack if they attacked?" Prime Minister Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency, once the Germans attack again, Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick will all be the key targets of the Germans. Fortunately, we are here More than half a million troops have been assembled in several places. If the Germans really launch an attack, they can barely resist their attack." David Magson said.

"Can it really be resisted?" Prime Minister Churchill was not so relieved about this. After all, on the island of Newfoundland, the British Army was vulnerable to the German Marine Corps.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we will do our best. However, the Germans' combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. Especially in the case of receiving a large amount of fire support from the sea and the air, it is very difficult for us to resist their attack." David Magson said.

Prime Minister Churchill nodded. The German army's combat effectiveness was already very strong. Coupled with the German army's superiority in sea and air, the British Army was no match for the German army.

"Your Excellency Magson, I know it is very difficult to fight the Germans. But now we have no choice." Churchill said.
