Chapter 1775: Draw up the army (2/2)
Generally speaking, Canada is not suitable for German landing. The Labrador Peninsula in eastern Canada has a cold climate and most of it is virgin forest, which is not suitable for German armored forces. At the same time, the area bordering Canada and the United States is In the Great Lakes basin, as long as a few key points are guarded, the German attack can be blocked.
If the Germans choose to land from Canada, it is destined to be a tortuous route. Look at the Germans in Europe and Asia. They just like to advance in the wilderness. When they reach the Ural Mountains, they give up. They are afraid of complexity. terrain.
However, we must not use common sense to speculate. The more impossible it is, the more likely it is. This is the experience on the European battlefield.
Now when Admiral Jin made the argument that he would land from Canada, everyone present nodded one after another. This inference is very possible.
”It seems that we need to mobilize our troops to Canada to defend the Labrador Peninsula.” Marshall also agreed with this thesis, and then there must be actual actions.
The case of the Germans landing in the UK tells everyone that the best way to deal with the Germans’ landing in the UK is to drive them directly into the sea. Once they have successfully established a beachhead position, it will be impossible to push them down.
The army must be mobilized!
But where is the transfer?
”Let's pass our West Coast transfer~~ someone suggested.
”No.” Marshall shook his head: ”Recently, the island nation’s balloon bomb attacks have intensified. Our troops on the Pacific coast are tasked with maintaining public order. Once the troops are deployed and the people panic, they will not be able to respond. Now, God knows if the islanders will take advantage of the emptiness.”
It would be easy if there weren't those **** balloons.
The Atlantic coast cannot be transferred, nor the Pacific coast. There are not many inland. The National Guards of the states are now being reorganized into the army, which is not enough.
”Why don't we transfer the southern provinces?” someone suggested.
There are threats on both sides of the east and west, as well as in the north. The south is still a bit more stable. Next to Mexico, there are at most some illegal immigrants, which is not to be feared.
This proposal made many people present nod their heads. After careful consideration, Roosevelt nodded: ”Then draw troops from Texas to defend the Canadian Labrador Peninsula. At the same time, we should urge Canada more. , Let them send more troops to Labrador.”
Canada is quite weird in the entire world. Their territory is huge, but the number of troops is quite scarce. Before the outbreak of World War II, the total number of troops was only more than 4,600.
Canada does not need an army. The south is the United States. Except for the war between the United States and Canada in the early days of the founding of the country, there will be almost no conflicts since then. Canada does not need to guard against anyone.
It was not until World War II that Canada began to mobilize civilians to join the army. The most dazzling one was the Air Force. When the Second World War ended, Canada was already the fourth largest Royal Air Force in the world.
Now Canada is also expanding its military, but this speed cannot satisfy Roosevelt.
