    General Jeff Field, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff and Chief of Staff of the Supreme Wartime Command, did not notice that when he said this, a light flashed in President Roosevelt's eyes.

    "Jeffrey, what is your conclusion?" Roosevelt asked. This sentence is somewhat vague and very general. It can be understood as an explanation of the German actions, or it can also be understood as an explanation of the more than 100,000 American troops.  What will be the future and destiny of the soldiers?

    General Jefferfield, who had followed Roosevelt for many years, naturally understood what Mr. President wanted to know, "Mr. President, according to my judgment, the troops that are moving towards Oklahoma City will not be able to break through the German blockade."  , it is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out!" He replied in a serious tone.

    Roosevelt's face dimmed for a moment, and then he asked: "Jeffrey, according to the judgment of the staff, after the Germans complete the encirclement of our army, what will be their next move?"

    "There are two directions. First, go north from Phoenix to attack Salt Lake City, Denver, Cheyenne and other places, and assist the Japanese army to break through our Dellera Mountains defense line and occupy the central region of our country. Second, go towards our southwest location.  The second line of defense on the border, launch an all-out attack and try to occupy the eastern part of our country!" General Jefferfield answered simply. So far, the situation between the enemy and us on the American battlefield has been very obvious. It is difficult to judge the German army's next move.  One step of action is not difficult.

    "Jeffrey, you must tell me carefully, in which direction will the Germans choose to take action first?" Roosevelt's eyes stared at General Jefferfield like a hawk, and asked a question  The hardest question to answer.

    This issue is indeed difficult. According to General Jefferfield's understanding, Mr. President is trying to determine the direction of action of the Germans in advance.  Then he took countermeasures, but he didn't dare to speak openly, because this was a military suggestion to Mr. President.  If you make a mistake in judgment, the consequences will be disastrous.

    therefore.  General Jefferfield could only speak accurately, "This" He pondered for a long time, and then said carefully: "Mr. President, please forgive me, it is really difficult to judge. The Germans may  Focusing on attacking in one direction, it is also possible to assist the Japanese to break through our defense line in the Dilera Mountains, and then attack the eastern region!"

    "Or, launch an attack on the second line of defense on our southwest border, and go north to help the Japanese break through our western line of defense. Do both at the same time. As you know, the Germans have such a huge force. They also have this ability!"

    General Jefferfield's answer did not have any substantive meaning. He dismissed all possibilities of Rommel.  They all judged, but they were not very sure in which direction the Germans would take action first. In fact, they did not answer Roosevelt's question.

    Because he knew that the German commander Rommel was an extremely difficult guy among the senior German commanders.  He has always been known for his cunning and changeable command style, the way and angle of his attacks.  It is extremely difficult to predict and judge the next move of such an opponent.  With my own wisdom and brains, it is obviously impossible!

    A look of disappointment flashed across Roosevelt's eyes, but he concealed it well, changed the subject, and asked: "Jeffrey, according to your staff's judgment, is it possible that the German navy is on the east coast again and it is possible to land?"  "

    Admiral Jefferfield knew this question well, and he immediately replied: "Mr. President, in the next few months, there is no such possibility. According to intelligence, the main strength of the German Navy is  They are all ships and combat aircraft, and their marine forces have not been assembled off the east coast and in the Greater Antilles!"

    "Okay, I basically understand the situation on the battlefield!" Roosevelt said calmly: "But, Jefferfield, your staff's attention must be focused on the German troops in the Phoenix area. The German troops in that direction, regardless of  If there is any action, you must report it to me immediately, remember, no matter what time!¡±

    Coming out of the President's Office, General Jefferfield was still confused. He couldn't figure out that from the reality of the American battlefield, whether it was the Dillera Mountains battlefield in the west or the second line of defense on the southwest border,  No matter what, it is more important than the German troops in the direction of Phoenix.

    No matter what countermeasures Mr. President has, it is impossible to stop the German troops in the direction of Phoenix from moving north to attack Salt Lake City and Denver and occupy the central region. It is a dead place. No matter how many troops are sent, they will fall to the Germans and Japanese.  Caught between two sides, if Mr. President really wants to do that, I must resolutely stop him!

    "But Mr. President, why are you so concerned about the direction of Phoenix?" General Jefferfield shook his head and left with a head full of doubts!

      In the office, Roosevelt rolled his wheelchair and came to the large military map on the wall. He stared at it for a long time, holding hands with exposed veins, "That point, the point where the explosion must occur, is the key to saving the fate of the United States.  The only chance, this is a big gamble! I have to make this bet!" He gritted his teeth and thought to himself.

    The war that took place in the United States lasted until mid-May. In the western battlefield of the United States, General Yamamoto, commander of Japan's North American Combat Command, was still trapped by the U.S. military's Dellera Mountains defense line. During this period, General Yamamoto changed his position.  Various offensive methods still failed to break through the US military positions. More than 600,000 Canadian soldiers and more than 500,000 US soldiers joined forces to create an insurmountable obstacle for the Japanese army in the Deillera Mountains.

    General Yamamoto became increasingly anxious. The war against the United States had reached this level, and he had lost his former calmness. Although with the mediation of General Minamino, the conflict between himself and Ito Genzaburo, the supervisor of the North American battlefield at the base camp, was resolved, but  The telegrams from the base camp came almost every two days, and the content was the same. They asked themselves, "When will the Imperial Army break through the U.S. military's western defense line and then conquer the central region of the United States?"

    General Yamamoto was almost driven crazy by the telegram from the base camp, but he had no good solution. He even dismissed a large number of army generals and replaced them with people from the navy on the charge of provoking a feud between the imperial army and navy.  To no avail.

    General Yamamoto was also frustrated to find that the American and Canadian soldiers who had been fighting with the Imperial Army for several months on the Dillera Mountains defense line seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Starting from the second stage of the landing battle, the American soldiers eliminated by the Imperial Army  There are probably more than 200,000 Canadian soldiers, but the remaining enemies are getting stronger and stronger with each passing day. In some areas, they can even launch local counterattacks!

    For the Imperial North American Combat Command, this is definitely not a good phenomenon. The combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers on both sides are gradually narrowing the distance, and the Imperial Army, which continues to maintain a high-density offensive posture, is obviously losing its spirit day by day!

    During this period, General Yamamoto returned to the base camp and sent a new combat plan. The core of the plan was to use about 300,000 troops to turn north and attack Vancouver, Edmonton and other places in southern Canada. Then,  Cross the Rocky Mountains, transfer to Canada, and attack the U.S. military's defense line in the Dellera Mountains from behind. In this way, the U.S. military's western defense line can be quickly disintegrated, and more than one million U.S. and Canadian troops can be wiped out!

    This plan was completely made by General Yamamoto, who was almost driven crazy. Even his close friend Minami Chief of Staff did not know the inside story. If you look at the plan itself, it is very maneuverable and can bypass the US military's Di.  The defense line of Lela Mountain is indeed a clever tactic that avoids reality and replaces it with falsehood.

    However, after the new combat plan was submitted, a response was quickly received, and it was a telegram personally written by His Majesty the Emperor. In a few words, "This crazy idea must be given up, and we must do our best to break through the US military's western defense line and become the first  Top priority!"

    Although Emperor Hirohito's reply did not reprimand, the rejection was so straightforward that it was beyond General Yamamoto's expectation and suppressed the crazy thoughts in his heart. At the same time, General Yamamoto could not help but feel a little resentful towards His Majesty the Emperor.  Understand, what are the concerns of His Majesty the Emperor?

    General Yamamoto was the most outstanding tactician among the senior officers of the Japanese army, but he was not a brilliant strategist. With Hirohito¡¯s greed and ambition for territory, he didn¡¯t want to swallow up Canada and the western and central regions of the United States.

    But Hirohito has not gone crazy yet. He knows that with the current national strength of the Empire of Japan, maintaining the war against the United States is already a busy job. The troops used on the American battlefield have reached their limit. If the battlefield is expanded to Canada,  The more than one million troops of the North American Combat Command are deployed in the vast areas of Canada and the western United States. The battle front may be tens of thousands of kilometers, which is simply not enough.

    The mainland's troops to continue to reinforce the American battlefield are extremely limited, and the garrison strength in the Southwest Pacific occupied area cannot be weakened. After all, in the Indo-China Peninsula, there is still a China-American Tang Qiuli, who is the sworn enemy of the empire.  !

    If Yamamoto's new battle plan is followed, the most likely possibility is that the Imperial Army will not be able to break through the US military's western defense line, and the troops that enter Canada to fight are trapped in the Canadian battlefield and cannot complete the roundabout attack plan. What else can they do to fight the Germans?  , seize the central United States?

    Sooner or later, the Japanese Empire will swallow Canada, but not now. Therefore, Emperor Hirohito, who has not yet had a fever, based on the above constraints, did not hesitate to deny General Yamamoto's crazy plan.

    Therefore, the new combat plan was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor, and General Yamamoto, who had nothing to do, could only continue to fight against the US and Canadian forces on the Dillera Mountains defense line, maintaining a high-density offensive posture, with nearly 10,000 casualties every day.Price, looking forward to smashing several holes in the US military's defense line.
