“The Azores have been captured by us!”

After Dönitz’s telegram was sent back, everyone, including Manstein and the mustache, breathed a sigh of relief!

“Fortunately, we took action in advance, otherwise it would be hard to say who would own this island. Our troops had just arrived, and the Eagle Sauce Navy came right after. It can be seen that the other side had been planning this for a long time!”

“The Eagles and the British had been in private contact a long time ago, but our intelligence personnel in North America did not discover this in advance, which put us in a passive position. I suggest that we strengthen intelligence reconnaissance work in North America to prevent such a situation from happening again in the future!”

The Eagles’ sudden declaration of war made the Third Reich very passive, and such a big thing, the intelligence personnel stationed in the Eagles did not discover it in advance and issue a warning, which can only be said to be a dereliction of duty!

If they informed the Empire of this information in advance, the German navy would have more time to prepare, and by then, let alone the Azores, even Bermuda might be occupied!

The significance of these two islands to the Empire is completely different. The Azores is a defensive island to prevent the US military from getting too close to the European continent and the core area of Hans.

Bermuda is a bridgehead for attack. If it can be taken here, it will be the turn of the Eagles to worry about the German invasion of their territorial waters.!

The failure to learn this intelligence in advance caused the German army to lose the opportunity to occupy Bermuda, which made the mustache very dissatisfied with Himmler’s work in North America!

After Himmler heard what the mustache said, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. The SS did not do a good job in this matter, and there was no way to wash it off, but the responsibility for this matter was not entirely on them.

Because the SS’s power in North America was not particularly strong, their main intelligence work was actually provided by Goldman Sachs. After all, Hans’ activities in North America were actually mainly carried out by Goldman Sachs. If Goldman Sachs failed to provide accurate intelligence, then they would naturally not be able to gain anything.

“There has been no intelligence from Vanelke for a long time. Could there be some problems on his side?”

A tall tree attracts the wind. As Hans’s spokesperson in the Eagle Sauce, Goldman Sachs Group is easily targeted by the CIA.

When President Harding was president, Goldman Sachs had a very good relationship with him because it was his sponsor. Vanelke could use his personal relationship to obtain intelligence from the top of the Eagle Sauce government.

But since President Harding left office, such good days are gone.

Roosevelt is different from President Harding. The other party has his own financial group to support him and does not need to rely on the support of Goldman Sachs. In addition, Goldman Sachs supported President Harding, so… He was not very popular with Roosevelt, which made it difficult for Vanelk to continue to obtain intelligence from the White House.

As for his infiltration of the high-level government of the Eagle Sauce, it also collapsed with the coming of President Roosevelt and his drastic replacement of the high-level leadership!

In a short period of time, it is still difficult to find a suitable bribe, especially when the CIA has already set its sights on them. Vanelk has not made any obvious moves in the past six months. After all, he had already aroused suspicion from the agency when he operated the two famous generals Nimitz and Spruance to go to Hans!

“His intelligence work is not easy to do, so we have to send spies to lurk in again, and at the same time avoid contact with Vanelk!”

Mainz is very determined. The intelligence of Eagle Sauce must be mastered as soon as possible. This is very important for future operations. If there is not enough intelligence, the next battle will not be easy to fight!

“Yes, Führer, I will specially select the most outstanding candidates to go to North America to carry out this mission!”

Himmler knew very well that this was his chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service. At the same time, if he failed to do this, his impression in the Führer’s mind would probably become much worse!

Therefore, this matter must succeed and not fail!

After explaining the intelligence infiltration work on the Eagle Sauce, everyone’s focus was on the air strike on the Eagle Sauce’s homeland!

“Today is September 25th, and there are still five days until October. In October, the cold waves in the North Atlantic will increase, the climate at sea will become more severe, and we will lose the opportunity to launch air strikes on the Eagle Sauce mainland. So, how is the construction of the airport in Greenland going now?”

Speer has returned to Hans from Greenland. After he arrived in Greenland with a large number of prisoners of war, he had already planned the construction of the airport and subsequent barracks and fortifications. What those people have to do next is to complete his plan step by step.

“The runway of the airport has been paved and is currently waiting for the cement to solidify. At the earliest, it will be ready for use on the 27th!”

With the labor of 200,000 workers, the construction plan of the Greenland Airport is quite fast.

However, it is not enough to have an airport alone. If the weather conditions do not allow it, they will not be able to go to war!

“What are the local climate conditions in Greenland now?”

The antifreeze technology of this era is relatively poor. During World War I, the temperature was too low in winter, causing the engines of fighter planes on both sides to fail to start and unable to take off for combat.

Although this problem has been slightly alleviated now, considering the extremely low temperature and extreme climate conditions in Greenland, this problem is still possible.

Therefore, if you want to use Greenland as a transit station, the climate conditions here must meet the standards!

“The situation is not good. When I was beating, the temperature in Greenland had dropped to 12 degrees Celsius. This is the southernmost coastal area. The temperature in the northern mountainous areas has dropped to below minus 40 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, even steel will be frozen and cracked!”In extremely low temperature conditions, the brittleness of steel will be magnified. If it is exposed to low temperatures for too long, the steel will easily break.

Bombers are made of metal all over their bodies, so they certainly have such risks. Once there is a slight problem with the structure of their fuselage, they are very likely to disintegrate in the air while flying in the air, causing the aircraft to be destroyed and people to die!

“Can we take off and fight in minus twelve degrees Celsius?”

Mainz looked at the Air Force Commander Goering and asked him.

Goering gritted his teeth and said,”If there is enough antifreeze, I think we can give it a try!”

He was not very sure, after all, no one had ever taken off and landed on Greenland so far!

“Well, let’s attack the day after tomorrow. The antifreeze will be provided to you later!”

Mainz was unwilling to wait any longer. If he continued to wait, the weather would only get worse. He could buy antifreeze from the system mall, but the opportunity to bomb the Eagle Sauce homeland could not be bought with money! On
