Chapter 1095
For the Eagle Sauce, the news that the northern part of Michigan was attacked by the German army was absolutely terrible news!
Admiral Pershing was worried about how to hold back the German army on the front battlefield and survive this winter. Unexpectedly, the problem on the front battlefield has not been solved yet, and the backyard is on fire first!
The Eagle Sauce controls very little territory at this time. Michigan has become their last rear because of its special geographical location.
Before the German army attacked here, it was at least a safe place that could be reassured.
However, this illusion of safety was completely broken after the German troops landed on the shore!
The intelligence in the rear is very confusing. The US military has not figured out how many troops the enemy has sent to attack, and even does not know how many armies the German army has prepared and where to land. At present, the intelligence they know is that the German army has landed in the two cities of Petoskey and Traverston.
The distance between the two places is nearly 200 kilometers. The fact that the German army can attack these two places at the same time shows that the German army has definitely sent a lot of troops.
Since the German army has sent a large number of troops, it is very likely that they will attack the third or even the fourth and fifth cities!
As the commander of the U.S. Army, Admiral Pershing is very clear about the current weakness of the U.S. Army!
Their territory is too small, their troops are too few, and their strength is too weak to cope with the enemy’s multi-point attack!
So if the German army lands everywhere, the U.S. Army will not be able to defend against it. They don’t have many troops left, and the main force has to stay in the south to resist the threat of the German army in the south. It is impossible to transfer the main force!
In this case, they will have very few troops to put out the fire, and they will definitely not be able to prevent the German attack! And facing such a difficult situation, even Admiral Pershing can only sigh in despair!
After half a year of fighting, Admiral Pershing’s heart has long been ashen!
He deeply felt a kind of despair, a kind of helplessness, and a feeling of being unable to use his strength!
The desperate Eagle Sauce Empire could not hold on under such a fierce attack by the Third Reich. The fierce attack of the enemy made their defense line retreat again and again, and the defensive means they arranged were also disintegrated layer by layer under the fierce attack of the enemy!
At this point, the total number of troops under General Pershing is less than 800,000, and the German army in the south alone has at least 1.2 million people. In the west and east, across Lake Erie and Lake Michigan, the hundreds of thousands of German troops on the left and right wings are also eyeing them covetously, and may cross the lake to attack them at any time!
Just like now!
Once this happens, the Eagle Sauce will really come to an end!
“General, the president wants you to come over!”
Just as Admiral Pershing was sighing, news came from the White House that President Roosevelt wanted to see him.
“”Okay, got it!”
Thinking of the upcoming meeting with the president, Admiral Pershing cheered up a little.
Although he felt despair in his heart, he knew very well that he was the hope in the hearts of others. If everyone saw that he was desperate, then others would lose hope and follow suit, which would only make the situation worse!
Moreover, the cooperation and work over the past six months has made Admiral Pershing admire President Roosevelt sincerely!
It must be said that President Roosevelt is a very good president. If it weren’t for this helpless situation, the Eagle Sauce Empire might have been able to go to a higher level in his hands and reach new heights!
And despite the unfavorable situation, President Roosevelt did not complain at all. Under such difficult circumstances, he still tried to maintain the situation and provide the greatest support possible for the operations in the front!
It can be said that if it weren’t for President Roosevelt’s efforts, the war might have ended before winter, and they would have either died on the battlefield or become prisoners of the enemy!
So for such a president, Admiral Pershing still maintained his respect.
“Mr. President, do you have anything to talk to me about?” Admiral
Pershing was wearing a neat military uniform. Although his face looked a little haggard due to staying up late for a long time and lack of rest, he still stood straight, like a tall pine tree, giving people a feeling of tenacity and unyielding.
“General, you are here. Thank you for your hard work!
President Roosevelt smiled apologetically at Admiral Pershing and raised his hand to signal him to sit down and talk.
Admiral Pershing sat down. The secretary brought them a cup of coffee, then left and closed the door of the office.
Only the general and the president were left in the president’s office.
Neither of them spoke, and the office fell into silence.
“General, I heard that our rear was attacked, right?”
Although the news had not been passed to Pershing for a long time, the president would definitely get the news of such a major event, so Pershing was not surprised that the other party would know.
Seeing President Roosevelt’s white hair due to overwork, he wanted to deny the news, but he knew it was impossible.
Things have already happened, and denial can’t change anything.
“Yes, that’s right!”
He nodded with difficulty and acknowledged the news.
“So, does the military have any way to deal with this situation?”
President Roosevelt’s face turned even worse. His pale face, which was already caused by overwork, now looked even more bloodless.
Admiral Pershing was even worried that the president would faint after being hit by such news.
At this time, should he tell the truth?
The US military might not be able to cope with the current situation. The enemy was divided into two groups and attacked the north and south. Their current troops could only rescue one of them. If they only rescued one group, it would mean that the German army would gain a foothold in the north of Michigan!
Once the German army gained a foothold, the subsequent large German forces would continuously land on the shore. At that time, it would be even more difficult for them to drive the other side into the sea. They would be threatened with being attacked from the front and back!
Should we tell the president the truth about this matter?
If we tell him, can the president bear it?
What kind of despair is this!
Admiral Pershing hesitated in his heart, so he did not answer for a long time.
And not answering is the best answer. President Roosevelt is not a fool. Seeing the other party’s hesitant expression, he roughly understood what was going on.
So, he showed a miserable smile on his face and said,”Is that so? That’s good, that’s good too.……”
“Mr. President……”
Admiral Pershing stood up, took a step forward, and looked at his president with some concern.
“I’m fine, I’m fine!”
President Roosevelt waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Suddenly, as if he had made a decision, his eyes became firm and he said:
