Although the civil strife in the Eagle Sauce has happened from time to time in later generations, such a large-scale riot is really unheard of. With the population proportion of German immigrants and the range of their distribution, this kind of riot will definitely sweep the country!

Mainz has been to the battlefield in person, so he knows better than anyone the destructive power of war on the economy and property!

The main reason why the Gauls were severely injured in World War I was that their northern core areas became a ruin after the devastation of war. Not only were various factories, buildings and properties burned in the war, but even the local population was almost killed and injured. The rest of the people also fled to the south to avoid the war!

As a result, the Gauls wanted to restore and rebuild here after the war, which cost a huge price. They needed to repair the towns here, rebuild bridges, roads and railways, etc., and clean up the destroyed farms and deal with a large number of unexploded mines and shells!

All of these require time and money. They were already in debt because of the war, so they had no money to recover quickly. Even if they did all this, the population here would flee in large numbers. How to convince those people who fled because of fear of war to return to their homeland is also a big problem. So even ten years after World War I, these areas in northern Gaul that had been burned by war have not recovered to the level of the year!

The reason why the Eagle Sauce can become the world’s number one power in history is directly related to the fact that their homeland has not been involved in the war and has not suffered serious damage!

And if their homeland also encounters a fierce war that sweeps the country and beats them everywhere, it will be very difficult for the Eagle Sauce to become the world hegemon!

Now, this opportunity is in front of Mainz!

If the resistance of German immigrants is quickly quelled, the Eagle Sauce homeland will not suffer too much damage. They still have the strength to participate in a world war and are still able to pose a huge threat to Hans!

On the contrary, if the scale of the civil war within the Eagle Sauce is expanded and the time is prolonged, then even if the Eagle Sauce can eventually quell the internal rebellion, they will suffer heavy losses in the civil war, and their national strength will be greatly damaged. They will not be able to use troops externally for a long time, and can only stay at home and lick their wounds silently!

Therefore, the benefits of sending troops to North America are huge. If German immigrants can establish an independent country and completely split the Eagle Sauce, the benefits will be even greater!

So after hearing what Manstein said, Mainz finally made up his mind:”In this case, how many troops do you think we should send to North America?” After all, the distance between the Eagle Sauce and North America is still too far.

Such a long distance makes the transportation of personnel and supplies very difficult, not to mention that the Eagle Sauce’s navy has not been eliminated.

In this case, the German army actually has to bear great risks in transporting supplies and troops from Europe to North America by sea.

If their troops were encountered by the Eagle Sauce Navy during transportation, the two sides would inevitably fight. If the German Navy won, it would be fine. If they lost, the troops and a large amount of supplies they transported would fall into the hands of the Eagle Sauce!

At sea, the most elite German army had no fighting power at all. They couldn’t rely on their rifles to fight against enemy warships, right?

Therefore, transporting troops and supplies to North America was extremely risky. With such a big risk, the German army would definitely not be able to send many troops there.

“I think Model’s Second Army should be sent there!”

Manstein thought for a moment and then replied.

“What’s the reason?”

In fact, Mainz thought that Model was the most suitable candidate. The reason was very simple. Model’s Second Army was elite enough and they had rich combat experience. They had been fighting since 1919 and had been fighting for nearly ten years! The

Eagles’ army had not experienced any battles since World War I. The army formed by President Harding was almost entirely made up of recruits. Their combat experience was not on the same level as the Second Army!

Another reason was that Model was the most defensive general in the German army. He was very good at defense when facing strong enemies, and his tactics were not conservative at all. He was definitely not the kind of person who would rigidly defend his position!

His flexible defense paid great attention to active offense, and he could often launch counterattacks unexpectedly and hit the enemy. Being caught off guard, the enemy is often defeated by the German army on the defensive even though it is the enemy that is attacking.

This tactic is very suitable for the North American battlefield. After all, even with the support of the Third Reich, the strength of the German immigrants in North America is still far behind that of the American government. This means that they are destined to be on the defensive for a long time and cannot take the initiative to attack!

There are many generals in the German army who are good at attacking, but not many who are good at defending. Model has the strongest defensive ability, so it is most suitable to send him over. It was just as

Mainz expected, and Manstein thought so too. After hearing Manstein’s explanation, Mainz nodded and said to Secretary Bormann,”Let Model come over, ask for his opinion, and see what conditions he has!”

Based on Mainz’s understanding of Model, this guy is a good fighter and is never vague when asking for things.

The situation in North America is complicated, and it is far away from the empire, so the mission Model is performing is extremely difficult and dangerous. In this case, if he has any requests, Mainz will certainly try his best to meet him. After all, you can’t really let them die, right?

……

After the Battle of the British Empire, Model’s Second Army was stationed in the British Empire.

This is the closest place to the United States, so Model is very concerned about the situation in the United States.

After hearing the summons from the Führer of Berlin, Model immediately realized that the Führer might have a mission for him!

So, he immediately took a plane to Berlin to prepare for the Führer’s summons.

“Commander-in-Chief Model of the Second Army salutes you!”

“General Model, the Supreme Command has decided to send you and your Second Army to fight in North America. Do you have anything to say?”

Mainz got straight to the point and didn’t waste time, directly stating his arrangements.

Model was delighted when he heard this, and couldn’t help rubbing his hands:”Hey, Führer, the Type 3 tank equipped by Rommel’s North African Corps looks good, with firepower not inferior to the Type 4 tank, but with faster speed, lighter tonnage, and more flexibility. Do you think it’s possible to replace all four armored divisions of my Second Army with Type 3 tanks?”

Model was also shameless. He was not polite at all when he heard the Führer’s words, and immediately put forward his own request.
