    The cool sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the entire spacious and luxurious room.  It was February, and Berlin was still shrouded in the midwinter chill, and the flames in the fireplaces were blazing; only a touch of green blooming on the street trees signaled the arrival of another spring.  "Your Majesty, the Americans have fully withdrawn from the island of Haiti. Just two hours ago, our army fully entered Port-au-Prince, located in the west of the island of Haiti, without any resistance along the way. The Americans set fire to buildings and bombed buildings.  Destroying equipment and machinery and blocking the port channel with sunken ships is undoubtedly the most obvious act of intending to permanently abandon this place." The gray-haired Ludendorff reported the battle situation on the front line to Qingying in one breath, with a bright look in his eyes.  Feiyang; as the chief of general staff, he was obviously very satisfied with the performance of his soldiers in distant America.  The German Army gave a hard lesson to those undisciplined cowboys who dared to interfere in European affairs, and achieved a huge victory over the navy and air forces.  Facts have proved that the German Army is still the most crushing military branch of the most enemy country. Whether in the mountains or on the plains, the Americans were completely defeated in the battle!  Qingying nodded slightly to show her understanding, but she was not too surprised by the news in her heart.  Under the intense blockade of our own naval and air forces, the U.S. military on the island of Haiti has become a lone force. In order to preserve these tens of thousands of fresh troops, the Americans will inevitably not fight to the death with their own side despite a lack of supplies.  .  The only thing that surprised him was that the Anglo-Saxons seemed to have an innate talent for retreat, and they would often achieve eye-catching "miracles" under circumstances that the enemy commander could not predict.  historically.  The British's two withdrawals from the Dardanelles and Dunkirk were as swift as the wind.  There is no one else who can boast the shameless escape after defeat as an epic victory; and at present.  The evacuation of the US military was not sloppy at all. Its concealment, suddenness, and efficiency surprised even the experienced German troops.  In less than a week, all five American divisions on the island of Haiti boarded ships and left. The Germans only captured more than 3,000 prisoners who had not had time to evacuate.  Most of the US military's artillery, trucks and other heavy equipment were destroyed before they retreated, and the Germans' final capture was also very limited.  "It seems that the Americans have given up on the unrealistic strategy of defending enemies outside the Caribbean. Their army combat capabilities and naval lineup are not enough to support the defense of islands far from the mainland, and this undoubtedly creates a problem for us in Cuba.  The next move opened the door to attack. This land that once belonged to the Spanish is now the last barrier for the United States to defend the mainland; by seizing it, we will be able to advance directly to the American mainland, and this war will enter the final stage.  stage." Qingying spoke softly, with a bit of unspeakable relief in her tone; all the arrangements she had made after the last battle finally came to fruition at the critical moment!  "Your Majesty, please be at ease. The German Army will definitely win a victory in Cuba just like the Battle of France." Ludendorff straightened his chest and responded vigorously.  The weak combat capability of the U.S. Army has been completely exposed to the eyes of the German high command from their offensive in eastern Cuba. Even the troops of the Austro-Hungarian Army, which are composed of the main ethnic groups, can defeat the German Army in the judgment of the top brass.  Americans with poor skills stabilize the front line.  current.  Even if the Air Force cannot provide any direct ground support, Ludendorff is fully confident in leveling the opponent's front from the front; whether it is quality or heavy equipment.  Both sides are as different as clouds and mud!  "Thanks to the powerful transportation of the navy, our army has currently assembled nearly 40 divisions of three armies in Puerto Rico and Haiti; the soldiers crossing the ocean are all fast cargo ships and cruise ships with a speed of more than 20 knots.  , and are closely protected by a large number of escort ships. So far, no accident has occurred to a troop transport ship, and hundreds of thousands of tons of ordnance supplies have also been assembled on the front line. As long as conditions permit, they can be immediately sent to the Cuban front line for unloading.  " Ludendorff spoke again, analyzing with confidence, "Although the distance between the north and the south of Cuba is narrow, 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 armor.  The troops can pierce through the American defense lines like sharp knives, and then encircle and annihilate them like they did in France half a year ago! The mountains and jungles on the island of Haiti have restricted the combat effectiveness of our army for too long, and now it is finally  It¡¯s time to completely release this shackles.¡± Qingying said unhurriedly: ¡°The German Army has the longest history of glory among all military services. I have never had any doubts about its power.  . It¡¯s just that this cross-ocean war no longer involves just the army. The navy¡¯s protection of transportation lines and the air force¡¯s suppression of enemy aviation will have a direct and far-reaching impact on the war situation.  The various military services of the empire can work together in the next Cuban campaign and jointly implement??This mission is of great significance to Germany.  In this battle, Air Force General Kesselring still unified and controlled all the armies; he had already proven his ability with previous actions, and he was able to shoulder the central command of a theater.  " Hearing that Qingying handed over the command to the air force general again, Ludendorff felt a little unhappy, but he accepted it calmly. As the number of members of each country continued to decrease, and Hohendorf  The power of the Sauron family has increased dramatically after the European War. The emperor in front of him, who is as upright as before, has become the most powerful monarch after Frederick the Great. Even though he led Germany from weak to strong and won the European  Even the victorious Emperor William could not compare with him. In addition, the Kesselring he appointed was indeed worthy of the important task. Even Ludendorff himself felt that Kesselring was quite appropriate in handling the army battles.  He didn't look like an Air Force general, but like an Army veteran who had been trained in the General Staff for more than twenty years. Ludendorff already regretted letting him transfer from his subordinates to the Air Force. If it hadn't been the case.  I'm afraid the army now has another commander as talented as his deputy Manstein, right? Ludendorff calmed down, cleared these unrealistic thoughts from his mind, and said: "Your Majesty.  , the Peenem¨¹nde Rocket Base recently made a revolutionary improvement to the new rocket, which greatly increased its range. I think this weapon should be able to fulfill its irreplaceable mission in the subsequent attack on Cuba.  After testing, the maximum range of this V3 rocket has reached an astonishing 550 kilometers. However, with the correction of the new gyro stabilizer, its hit dispersion has not been significantly improved compared to the previous V2 rocket with a range of 380 kilometers, and it still remains at 3 kilometers.  The following error range.  If more than two hundred rockets of this type can be launched at a U.S. military airport in a concentrated salvo, it will not only paralyze the use of the airport for a considerable period of time, but also directly blow up a large number of U.S. fighter planes on the ground, greatly reducing their ability to  threats to our military forces.  According to battle reports sent back by our frontline troops, the U.S. Army relies almost entirely on air support for its battles. Once they lose air supremacy, they will be unable to face the sharp front of the German army.  " "The range is 550 kilometers, and the error is only within 3 kilometers?  "Qingying was startled, and his calm face finally showed obvious expression fluctuations. As a "prophet" with the memory of later generations, he has a clear understanding of the difficulties in improving the range and control accuracy of missiles.  : Although the William Royal Academy of Sciences, which he invested heavily in, has greatly promoted the advancement of science and technology, the missile engines of the current era are obviously different from those of later generations. Whether it is thrust, working time, or restart interval, the current engines are still at the same level.  The initial level, and the engine performance directly determines the missile's range. In addition, the missile's hit accuracy is extremely difficult to control. After all, an object that can travel at a high speed of more than 15 kilometers per second only appears in flight time.  Any slight deviation will cause the impact point to deviate significantly from the intended location. In the current era of semiconductors, the performance of missile guidance equipment is also unsatisfactory. A missile with such performance is almost unbelievable!  He nodded and couldn't hide the smile on his face. This research base in Peenem¨¹nde was one of the core projects funded and responsible for by the Army. Seeing Qingying acting so surprised, he was a little relieved.  Explained: "As far as I know, the huge leap in the range of the V3 rocket is the result of the dedication 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 around him, but instead made a unique choice to reduce its fuel load; final calculations and facts proved that his idea was completely  correct.  Since most of the rocket's weight is made up of liquid fuel, pouring out a portion of the fuel will allow the rocket to achieve a more ideal balance in terms of weight, resistance, and endurance.  It is no exaggeration to say that we have been 20 years ahead of other countries in the world in this field. Their small rockets are the difference between beggars and kings in front of v3.  " "Notify Deputy State Secretary Speer of the Ministry of Arms Production so that he can allocate some manpower and resources to produce this missile.  "After pondering for a moment, Qingying immediately issued the order. The biggest advantage of ballistic missiles compared to bombers is that they cannot be intercepted by fighter planes and guns, and there is no time for ground evacuation and related preparations; although its cost is high, as long as it is used  Properly used, it can still produce irreplaceable effects (To be continued) ps: Thank you to the middle-aged book friend for his monthly ticket support, and zhouyu1976 for the reward~~~?¡­
