“Well, very good, then do you have any good suggestions?”

Manstein asked as he simply flipped through the intelligence.

The five states controlled by the German army in the eastern part of the Eagle Sauce are North Carolina, South Carolina, George, Florida, and Virginia.

These states have one thing in common, that is, they are located east of the Appalachian Mountains.

This mountain range stretches from north to south across the central and eastern parts of the Eagle Sauce.

Together with the Rocky Mountains in the west, it divides the Eagle Sauce into three regions: the east, the middle, and the west.

The eastern region, that is, the coastal area east of the Appalachian Mountains, was the first place where European immigrants arrived.

It is also the place where they have been operating for the longest time, and where wealth and population density are most concentrated.

These five states have a population of about 26 million, which is about 25% of the current total population of the Eagle Sauce.

Because of the dense population and prosperous economy here, it is a battleground for the German army and the Eagle Sauce. If the Americans control this place

, they can obtain a wealth of reserve troops. The population of more than 20 million can provide them with millions of conscripts. In addition, the prosperous economy and a large number of factories here can also provide them with all kinds of materials urgently needed for war, which can greatly enhance their war capabilities.

As for the German army, if they occupy this place, they can use it to provide themselves with supplies, greatly reducing the burden of logistics supply in mainland Europe.

At present, Vanelk’s industrialization process in Florida is relatively smooth, but with the continuous expansion of the German army and the Southern Army, the number of weapons, ammunition and various military supplies needed on the front line has begun to rise rapidly. In this case, it is completely unrealistic to rely entirely on Florida for supply.

Therefore, at this time, many of the German army’s weapons, equipment and supplies were transported all the way from Europe.

Although after the Battle of Bermuda, the sea transportation lines from Europe to North America have been completely opened, and the risks of sea transportation have been greatly reduced.

At present, in addition to some US submarines posing a slight threat to the German sea transportation lines, the only thing the German sea transportation lines need to worry about is shipwrecks caused by bad weather!

However, the distance between North America and Europe is relatively far after all. Transporting supplies across such an ocean has caused a lot of pressure on the empire’s logistics. Moreover, if the factories in Europe are busy producing and preparing supplies for the North American army, it will inevitably affect the combat readiness of the local European army.

When the European coalition forces and the Soviet Union had already started fighting, the calls for the use of force against the Soviet Union had become louder and louder within the Third Reich. In this case, what the empire needs to do is That is to seize the time to prepare materials and prepare for large-scale military operations in the future.

Against this background, the negative impact of North America is increasing.

Therefore, Manstein must rely on himself to strengthen the self-sufficiency of the North American army.

The importance of the factories and rich population in the five states in the eastern region of Eagle Sauce is fully reflected at this time.

Once the German army has complete control here, they can completely transform these factories into military factories for the German army to produce weapons and equipment and various materials.

As for the huge population here, on the one hand, it can meet the living needs of the factory, and on the other hand, it can also provide a large number of human resources for the German army, allowing them to replace many things that the German army needs to do personally, thereby completely liberating the German army and allowing them to devote more energy to combat operations!

Under this consideration, Manstein attached great importance to this military operation.

Even more than Guderian’s siege in the central region!

“I think that if we want to completely eliminate the local militants, the first thing we need to do is to restore the local living order as soon as possible, let people recover from the panic of the war, and get their lives back on track as soon as possible. In this way, most people will not think about resisting us, and we will eliminate a large number of potential enemies, and by the way, we will also clean up the soil for the militants to live!”

Eisenhower’s proposal made Manstein very satisfied. This method is actually to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot, and it is a fundamental solution.

Sending troops to attack the militants can only be regarded as a temporary solution. Even if a group of militants are eliminated, as long as the social order is not restored and the local people can not return to normal life as soon as possible, then the ordinary people in the previous second may become new militants in the next second!

This should be a very profound experience of the Eagle Sauce in the Middle East battlefield in later generations. During the Second Gulf War in 2003, the US military only paid the price of 10 deaths, just like cutting melons and vegetables, and easily solved the stupid big The regular army of the United States and the United States invaded the country.

However, in the following seven or eight years, they were mired in the quagmire of war in this country. Those enemies who were once vulnerable on the battlefield suddenly turned into terrorists, and they had no way to deal with them.

Although they eliminated batches of terrorists, they were unable to end this air defense war that seemed to have no end.

On the contrary, due to the continuous expansion of the scope of the war and the extension of its duration, the social life order of the invaded country was completely paralyzed. A large number of cities were destroyed in the war. The people were displaced, hungry, and lost their jobs, their loved ones, and their means of livelihood.

So, the great A large number of people who are desperate are forced to join the ranks of terrorists, making it impossible for the US military to completely eliminate the terrorists on the opposite side!

If it weren’t for the timely withdrawal of the troops by President Obama, the US military would have to struggle in the quagmire of war for several more years!

For the Eagle Sauce, it is easy to invade a country and it is also easy to defeat the government forces of a country.

However, helping the country to recover and rebuild and allowing their people to live and work in peace is not that simple!

However, if this cannot be done, it is equivalent to destroying the original living order of other countries without establishing a new order. The result is huge chaos and confusion. The chaos brought a wave of refugees, extreme terrorism, and endless wars.

In this case, the war on terror will not only not end, but will get worse!

Although Manstein has not experienced such a war, he knows very well that in the industrial age, a large number of urban residents who have lost their land rely on the normal operation of the city to survive. If order cannot be restored as soon as possible, they will definitely not survive!

Once these people can’t survive, they will definitely not sit and wait to die, and they will definitely fight hard to resist!
