Guderian didn’t understand this truth, and the Eagle Sauce government in the north was also a little confused!
When the remnants of the US military fled back to the north, the news that the US military had suffered an epic defeat in the south quickly spread throughout the Eagle Sauce and quickly spread to the world!
“Did General MacArthur die in the line of duty?”
Unlike the previous disastrous defeat, this disastrous defeat caused great panic in the Eagle Sauce!
Before, the German army only had one army group in the south, so the threat to them was not very great. Even in the Battle of St. Marys, the losses of the US military were no less than this time, but the German army could only occupy and rule Florida, and could not threaten most of the Eagle Sauce area!
However, this time the German army actually invested two army groups, which doubled the threat to the US military! This is also the case. After the US military suffered another disastrous defeat this time, the German army was not limited to Florida, but quickly went north and conquered several states in the south. At this time, the area controlled by the German army has exceeded 2 million square kilometers, and the population controlled is approaching the 30 million mark!
For the Eagle Sauce, this is already a real danger of national destruction!
Although the Eagle Sauce has more than 9 million square kilometers of land, considering that there are a lot of deserts and mountains in the Rocky Mountains in the Midwest, these areas are deserted and uninhabited due to the harsh geographical and climatic conditions, and are almost worthless land despite their vast area.
Therefore, among the 9 million square kilometers of territory of the Eagle Sauce, the truly valuable land may only be these plains and coastal areas in the east, and a small part of the coastal areas in the west.
The area of these areas added up may be only about 5 million square kilometers, while the area of these areas occupied by the German army at this time has exceeded 2 million square kilometers, and without exception they are all the best areas of the Eagle Sauce!
Therefore, the national strength of the Eagle Sauce has been greatly affected by this battle. It was a severe blow. Not only did they lose nearly 40% of their prime areas, but they also lost 30 million people. Considering that nearly 18 million German immigrants had defected to the Third Reich early on, the population in the area controlled by the German army at this time was even the total population under the rule of the Eagle Sauce government!
These figures were coldly placed in front of them, and no one could be optimistic!
Therefore, even though MacArthur had an unshirkable responsibility in this battle, no one in the Eagle Sauce wanted to hold him accountable. Everyone even hoped that he was still alive, so that he could continue to lead the US military to fight against the German army!
After all, after MacArthur and Lee’s famous generals were killed and captured one after another, the US military no longer had any outstanding generals to show for themselves!
Without outstanding generals to lead , The commander of the team, and the army in his hands is a group of deserters who have been defeated, or they are rookies with no combat experience. Even the Eagle Sauce people themselves feel hopeless when they expect the army to fight against the German army!
Therefore, when they learned that Guderian’s First Army had conquered Tennessee, the Eagle Sauce was shocked all over the country!
They all felt an unprecedented crisis. If they could not stop the German army from continuing to advance, they might not even survive this year and would soon be overthrown by the German army!
If they want to stop the German army, they must integrate the army and let a respected and capable person take charge of the army and lead them to fight bravely. Otherwise, with the current situation of the US military, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to expect them to stop or even defeat the German army! However
, this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to do!
Let me ask, after Eisenhower and MacArthur, who else in the Eagle Sauce army has such great prestige and strength?
“If all else fails, we can ask General Pershing to come back. With General Pershing’s prestige, I think those people in the army will naturally not disobey his orders!”
In desperation, because there really is no way to find a famous and capable general to serve as the current commander-in-chief of the US military, someone simply selected one from the retired veterans.
They pushed out Admiral Pershing, who led the US military to victory in World War I, and believed that Admiral Pershing’s ability and prestige were enough to integrate the US military, which is now almost in disarray!
Admiral Pershing’s reputation is indeed enough.
After all, he is the first admiral of the Eagle Sauce, and in World War I, he once led a group of US recruits to defeat the arrogant German army, so in terms of fighting the German army, Admiral Pershing is still very capable.
However, Admiral Pershing has already retired, and he is really too old. Born in 1860, he is nearly 70 years old this year. It is crazy to let a 70-year-old man go to the front line to lead troops to fight!
After all, the average age of his opponents, the German generals, is under 35 years old!
Moreover, although Admiral Pershing’s record against the German army is good, that German army was the German army of the Second Empire era.
The current German army has evolved to the Third Reich era.
Compared with the German army of the Second Empire era, their capabilities have improved a lot, not to mention how much of Admiral Pershing’s previous experience can still be used.
Even if his experience still works, facing the German army that has been fully strengthened and led by many talented generals, it is hard to say how much chance of victory the American army led by him will have when facing the opponent!
At the beginning, Pan Admiral Pershing had more than half a year to train his troops in Europe, but that was because the British and Gaul armies were blocking the German army in front, and at that time both sides were fighting trench warfare, and the advancement speed between each other was extremely slow. The US military did not have to rush at all and could calmly prepare for war!
However, today is different from the past. The German army is coming with great momentum, and Guderian is a famous blitzkrieg general!
The German army will not advance slowly bit by bit like in World War I. They will definitely use their speed to launch a thundering attack. In this case, the US military needs to face the strong enemy alone. They have no allies to help them share the pressure. Everything depends on themselves!
Admiral Pershing has no time to train his troops. He must take such a group of rabble-rousers to stop the German army!
