On Tuesday, December 19, the Hersmanns, who were returning from their morning run from the shores of the Königssee in Bechstegarden, at the foot of the Alps, saw Natalie Lesinskaya waiting in the hall with a newspaper.
"Ludwig, this is the Wall Street Journal that I just received."
Natalie handed the newspaper to Hersman, who was dressed in a tracksuit.
This newspaper was published on the 17th of American time, subscribed by the Roman Consulate General in New York, and then brought back to Europe with the class of Roman Imperial Airlines, and delivered to Hersmann as soon as possible.
With the exception of Hersmann, Hitler, Schleicher, and the German Emperor Wilhelm III all received the same copy of the Wall Street Journal.
The headline on the front page of today's Wall Street Journal reads: Harry Truman elected President of the United States In addition, Truman declared to the press: The United States will never accept humiliating peace, and the United States will adhere to the five major principles of peace, namely, "no land cession and no reparations," "the principle of national self-determination in the Americas and Australia," "open door," "help Europe in peaceful reconstruction," and "comprehensive disarmament and arms limitation."
Hersman told Chloe to take a shower for breakfast, and she sat down on the couch sweating profusely and began to read Truman's speech in the newspaper word for word.
It was probably Natalie who handed him a glass of juice and read the newspaper while he drank it.
The contents of the newspaper did not surprise Hersman at all, and Truman, who was lucky enough to win the election, did not dare to put forward politically incorrect conditions for peace, and there was no room for discussion of the five principles of peace.
It was clear that Germany would now have to implement the "Gochburg Plan".
At this time, Chloe, who had finished taking a shower, did not go to the restaurant, but went to Hersman's side: "Honey, is there any encouraging news" Hersman took a sip of juice and said, "I think Reinhardt is going to war, can this be considered encouraging news?"
Reinhardt, the second son of Hersmann, is 19 years old and has completed his studies at the Berlin Military Academy and is now studying at the School of the Armored Forces, graduating soon.
If the "Gochburg Plan" really had to be carried out, Reinhardt would definitely have been sent into battle.
"I think so," Chloe said with a smile.
"It would make him a real Heinsberg man."
This answer may seem a bit cruel, but it's normal for Chloe to come from her.
Her family has been in the army for generations since the time of Charlemagne, and I don't know how many ancestors died on the battlefield, and the illustrious family lineage and titles were dyed with blood And since marrying Hersman, Chloe has been working hard to have children, and has had a total of 6 children, 3 of which are boys.
This was enough to make the Heinsberg Hersmann family men less precious.
In addition, Hersman's eldest son, Rudolph, has now entered the middle ranks of the army, and is also a very valuable expert in the use of carrier-based aircraft in the navy and naval aviation, and has now been banned from flying in battle, so there is basically no risk of death.
Hersman closed the newspaper, threw it to Natalie, and instructed, "Change the schedule, I will go back to Tsosen after meeting with the Prime Minister today." ” Tsosen is home to the General Staff of the Wehrmacht, as well as the headquarters of the Navy, Air Force and SS, and is the brain of the Wehrmacht and the entire European Community army.
Hirschman was in a hurry to return to Cuossen, and naturally he was going to arrange for the implementation of the "Gochburg Plan" to attack the mainland of the United States.
When Hersmann and Natalie arrived at the Eagle's Nest in a Mercedes-Benz 770K car, Adolf Hitler was talking on the phone with Mussolini to exchange views on US policy.
"Yes, yes, we can't accept Truman's Five Principles, that's complete nonsense, the newly elected president of the United States must not have figured out the situation, he probably thought it was 1918, of course, of course, we will not drop the atomic bomb right away, we still welcome you and the peace of the Roman Empire, thank you."
Hitler hung up the phone and beckoned to Hersmann, who was being brought in by Martin Baumann: "Ludwig, it seems that we are really going to attack the North American continent. ” "Then attack," Hersmann said to Hitler, "we have been working out plans for a long time, and we have superiority in both weaponry and the quality of officers and men, so the offensive cannot fail." ” "If the United States borders on us, I'm not worried at all," the German chancellor said.
"But the enemy is separated from us by the ocean, more than 2,000 kilometers and almost 3,000 kilometers of water.
This is our worst enemy, Ludwig, and we can now transport as many troops to the Newfoundland landing at one time" "At full capacity, 45 divisional battle groups can be transported, including at least three regimental armored battle groups."
Hersmann sat down across from Hitler's desk and gave a detailed account of the preparations for the landing in the "Gochburg Plan."
It is not easy to land across the ocean, this is not a troop transport, there are unity ships and high-speed cruise ships, and it is necessary to transport troops to Newfoundland with various large and medium landing ships.
The countries of the European Community, on the other hand, have a limited number of large and medium-sized landing ships.
Including the "Baltic"-class amphibious landing ships, the "Faroe Islands"-class dock landing ships, and the T-type landing ships, the total number is only 166, and even if all of them are used for the "Fort Gauch" project, it will be difficult to transport as many as five heavy divisions of troops, all equipment, and a large number of supplies to Newfoundland at one time.
However, the German Navy still has several "Blue Ribbon aircraft carriers" that have taken a back seat as training aircraft carriers, which are aircraft carriers converted from luxury cruise ships.
Although this kind of aircraft carrier cannot carry many carrier-based aircraft, its displacement is full, and the Bremen and Europa have a huge displacement of 47,000 tons, which has the value of being refitted again.
So after the decision was made to attack North America, the Bremen and Europa entered the factory again for refit.
From an aircraft carrier to a special amphibious landing ship, this is a special landing ship that is different from ordinary amphibious assault ships, which can carry a large number of soldiers, supplies, equipment and combat aircraft, as well as landing craft.
However, there is no design for the bow and stern doors, and landing craft and amphibious vehicles cannot enter the water directly, but can only be lowered into the water by booms.
The boom on the aircraft carrier has a limited ability to lift the aircraft, and it cannot lift equipment that is too heavy.
Therefore, the total weight of the landing craft and amphibious vehicles aboard the Bremen and Europa cannot exceed 20 tons.
However, the huge displacement and the large number of cabins that could be used by soldiers made the Bremen and Europa extremely valuable.
After the completion of the refit, the two ships can jointly carry a lightweight marine division or panzergrenadier division that replaces all vehicles of more than 20 tons with vehicles of less than 20 tons. class landing ships.
As long as these two special amphibious landing ships can be delivered to the European Combined Fleet in a timely manner, the plan to deliver five division-level combat clusters to Newfoundland at one time can be fully realized.
"Five divisional combat clusters are not huge, but once they land on Newfoundland, it is impossible for the Americans to drive them away."
Hersmann assured Hitler.
The first batch of troops sent to Newfoundland must be the elite of the elite, with 780,000 men in five divisional clusters and hundreds of tanks and artillery pieces.
"How to solve air supremacy" Adolf Hitler was not a layman in the military, and immediately asked the most critical question.
"I'm not worried about the problems at sea and on land right now, as long as there is air superiority, 100,000 German soldiers will have no problem defeating 1 million American troops.

But how many fighters will the Americans deploy on Newfoundland and the nearby peninsula of Nova Scotia, can we defeat them?"
"The Americans may have thousands of warplanes in the fight on Newfoundland," Hersmann told Hitler, "because Newfoundland is so close to the continental United States, the Americans can muster a large number of planes at any time to replenish the war damage."
Therefore, we must take the destruction of US airfields as the main means of seizing air supremacy. ” "What to use to destroy the airfield" "With missiles and 264 and JU288," Hersman said, "we have airfields in the Azores, 2,500 kilometers from Newfoundland, and Nuuk, Greenland, 1,700 kilometers from Newfoundland, with the former taking off and landing 264 and the latter landing on JU288."
E264 and JU288.
This will make it possible to deliver up to 350 high-precision missiles and remotely guided glide bombs at a time. ” "The Americans have a lot of fighter jets on the island of Newfoundland," Hitler continued, "what are you going to do?"
"Shot down with a Type 262T jet fighter," Hirschman explained, "in fact the numerical superiority of the Americans was not as great as imagined."
Because the performance of a fighter is limited by altitude and visibility.
It is usually divided into three categories: "daytime high altitude", "mid-low altitude during the day", and "nighttime".
Each category has many special requirements, so it is unlikely that they will be able to do both.
Therefore, the US military has deployed three types of fighters on the island of Newfoundland.
And the 264 and JU288 that we plan to use are both high-altitude bombers, and guided munitions can also be dropped from high altitudes.
The E262HG is fighting for air supremacy over 10,000 meters during the day, and at this altitude, the Americans' 51 has little room to play, and the 61 is no match for the 262HG during the day.
The E262HG is mainly dealing with the Type 47 day fighter that can operate at high altitudes. ” t1706231537:
