Chapter 743 The Army's Big Toy

The cold sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire spacious and luxurious room look bright. It was February, and Berlin was still shrouded in the cold winter, and the flames rose from the fireplaces of the various houses were endless; but a touch of tender green verdant blooming on the street trees showed people the arrival of another spring.

"Your Majesty, the Americans have retreated completely from Haiti Island. Just two hours ago, our army entered Port-au-Prince, west of Haiti Island, without any resistance. The Americans set fire to the building houses, blew up equipment and machinery, and blocked the port waterway with shipwrecks. This is undoubtedly the most obvious behavior to permanently give up the place." The gray-bearded Ludendolf reported the battle situation on the front line to Qingying in one breath, and his eyes were full of spirits. As the chief of staff, he was obviously very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers in the distant America. The German Army taught the scattered cowboys who dared to interfere in European affairs and achieved a great victory over the navy and air force. Facts have proved that the German Army is still the most crushing branch of the enemy country. Whether in mountains or plains, the Americans were defeated in the battle!

Qingying nodded slightly to show that, but he did not feel much surprise at the news. Under the blockade of his own sea and air forces, the US military on Haiti Island has become an isolated army. In order to preserve the vitality of tens of thousands of people, the Americans will definitely not fight to the end with their own side in a shortage of supplies. The only thing that surprised him was that the Anglo-Saxons seemed to have inherent talent in retreat, and they would always achieve a "miracle" that was unpredictable by the enemy commanders. Historically, the British were in the Dardanelles and Dunkirk.

The two withdrawals were as fast as the wind. The shameless face that could make the defeated escape into an epic victory was even more shameless. At present, the US evacuation was not at all dragged on. Its concealment, suddenness, and efficiency surprised the battle-torn Germans. In less than a week, all five American divisions on Haiti Island boarded the ship and left, and the Germans only captured more than 3,000 prisoners who had not had time to withdraw. Most of the heavy equipment such as American artillery, trucks and other retreats were destroyed by them before retreating, and the Germans' final capture was also very limited.

"It seems that the Americans have given up the unrealistic strategy of defending the enemy outside the Caribbean Sea. Their army combat power and naval lineup are not enough to support the island defense far away from the local area, and this undoubtedly opens the door to attack for our next action in Cuba. This land that once belonged to the Spanish is now the last barrier for the United States to defend the local area; if it seizes it, we can approach the United States, and the war has entered the final stage." Qingying spoke softly, and his tone couldn't help but express a bit of unspeakable sigh; the various layouts he made after the end of the battle finally ushered in the critical moment when it produced results!

"Please be relieved. The German Army will surely win a victory in Cuba like the French Battle." Rudendolf straightened his chest and responded with a strong sense of vigor. The weak combat power of the US Army has been completely exposed to the German Command from their attack in eastern Cuba. Even the troops composed of main ethnic groups in the Austro-Hungarian Army can stabilize the Americans with poor combat skills in the judgment of the senior German Army. At present, even if the Air Force cannot provide any direct support to the ground, Rudendolf is fully confident that he will tide the opponent's front line from the front; whether it is quality or heavy equipment, both sides have a cloud-like difference!

"Thanks to the powerful transportation of the navy, our army has gathered nearly 40 divisions of three armies on Puerto Rico and Haiti Island. The soldiers traveled across the ocean with fast cargo ships and cruise ships with speeds of more than 20 knots, and are closely protected by a large number of frigates. So far, no troop transport ship has been unexpected. Hundreds of thousands of tons of military supplies have also been gathered in massive quantities on the front line. As long as conditions allow, they can immediately go to the Cuban front line for unloading." Ludendorf again

He spoke with confidence and analyzed, "Although Cuba is narrow in the north and south, the terrain is mainly plains, which is an excellent stage for the Imperial Army to show its power. With the power of the Tiger tank, our armored troops can pierce the Americans' position defense line like a sharp knife, and then encircle and annihilate them like they did in France half a year ago! The mountains and jungles on Haiti Island have limited our army's combat effectiveness for too long, and now it is finally time to completely release this constraint."

Qingying said slowly: "The German Army has the longest brilliant glory among all the military branches. I have never had any doubts about its power. However, this war across the ocean involves no longer just the army. The navy's support for transportation lines and the air force's suppression of enemy aviation will have a direct and far-reaching impact on the battle situation. I hope that the various military branches of the empire can work together in the next battle of Cuba to achieve this mission of great significance to Germany. This battle will still be unified by the General Kesseling Air Force; he has proved his ability with his previous actions and can shoulder the central command of a war zone."

Hearing that Qingying handed over the command to the Air Force general, Rudendolf felt a little unhappy, but he also accepted it calmly. With the continuous reduction of the sexuality of the members of various states and the rapid increase in the power of the Hohenzollern family after the European War, the emperor who stood upright in front of him had become the most powerful monarch after Frederick the Great. Even the late emperor William, who led Germany from weak to strong and won the European War, could not match it. In addition, what he did

Kesseling, who is destined to be responsible for his duty, even Rudendolf himself felt that it was quite appropriate to deal with the army's battles. Many times, Kesseling was not like an air force general, but like a general in the General Staff who had been tempered for more than 20 years. Rudendolf already regretted that he had transferred from his own hands to the Air Force. If not, I am afraid that the army would now have another commander-in-chief like his deputy Manstein?

Rudendolf calmed down and cleared these unrealistic thoughts from his mind, and said: "Your Majesty, the Penemide Rocket Base recently made a revolutionary improvement on the new rocket, greatly improving its range. I think this weapon should be able to complete its irreplaceable mission in the next attack on Cuba. After testing, the maximum range of this v3 rocket reached an astonishing 550 kilometers. Under the correction of the new gyro stabilizer, its hit spread was not as good as that of the previous v2 rocket with a range of 380 kilometers.

It has been significantly improved and remains at an error range of less than 3 kilometers. If more than 200 rockets of this type can carry out centralized volleys at US airports, it will not only paralyze the use of its airports for a considerable period of time, but also directly blow up a large number of US fighter jets on the ground, greatly reducing the threat they can pose to our troops. According to the battle reports sent by our front-line troops, the US Army's combat relies almost entirely on air support. Once the air control is lost, they will be unable to face the fierce front of the German army."

"The range is 550 kilometers, the error is only within 3 kilometers?" Qingying was surprised. His face, which had been calm, finally showed obvious fluctuations in his expression. As a "prophet" who has the memory of later generations, he has a clear understanding of the difficulties of missiles in improving range and control accuracy: Although the Royal William Academy of Sciences, which he devoted a lot of money, greatly promoted the advancement of science and technology, the missile engines in the current era are obviously incomparable to later generations. Whether it is thrust, working hours, or restart intervals, when

The previous engines are still at a very initial level, and the engine performance directly determines the range of the missile. In addition, the hit accuracy of the missile is extremely difficult to control. After all, an object that can move over an ultra-high speed of more than 15km per second will cause any slight deviation in flight time to cause the bullet point to deviate significantly from the predetermined location. In the current situation where the semiconductor era has not yet entered the semiconductor era, the performance of the missile's guidance equipment is not satisfactory, and such a missile is almost incredible!

Rudendolf nodded, and the smile on his face could not be concealed. This research base in Penemide is one of the core projects invested and responsible for the Army. Seeing that Qingying was so surprised, he explained slightly: "As far as I know, the huge leap in range of the V3 rocket was the result of the young researcher Braun. When he encountered a range bottleneck, he did not continue to increase the weight and volume of the rocket like the researchers beside him.

It is a unique choice to reduce its fuel load; the final calculations and facts prove that his idea is completely correct. Since most of the weight of the rocket is composed of liquid fuel, after pouring out a part of the fuel, the rocket has achieved a more ideal balance in weight, resistance, and battery life. It is no exaggeration to say that we have been ahead of countries around the world in this field for 20 years. Their small rockets are the difference between beggars and kings in front of V3."

"I notified Spell, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Military Production, to allow him to allocate some manpower and resources to produce this kind of missile." After pondering for a while, Qingying immediately issued an order. The biggest advantage of ballistic missiles over bombers is that they cannot be intercepted by fighter jets and guns, and they do not have time to evacuate the ground and prevent related defenses; although it is expensive, as long as it is used properly, it can still have an irreplaceable effect!
