ps: This is a make up for only one update one day. Thanks for your support. The third update is completed today...

In the evening that day, Crank, who was leading the fleet to stay in the port of Florianopolis, received information from the submarine. The reinforcement fleet he led was combined with the original Xinz's fleet, and had just completed the task of transporting personnel and materials. Since his military rank was higher than Xinz and his position was higher than Xinz, the combined fleet was controlled by Crank as the supreme commander. Xinz originally volunteered to command the artillery fleet, but Crank believed that the artillery fleet and the aircraft carrier formation were no longer needed to separate the artillery fleet and operate together, especially the powerful air defense firepower of Richelieu was simply a waste if it was used for the artillery fleet.

Of course, Hinz is more willing to command aircraft carrier forces: although none of the German naval generals came from aircraft carriers, this did not stop their yearning for commanding aircraft carrier formations. Looking at the aircraft carriers on the ship platform (not distinguishing between regular aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers) and empty battleships, fools know what kind of war trends will be in the future.

Not to mention that the head of state has summarized very insightful words: "The future of the navy lies in air, submarine, and fast." When Hoffman said "air submarine fast", the "fast" actually refers to S-boats, but guided missile cruisers, missile destroyers, missile frigates and other new warships. However, others think that fast refers to fast troops similar to S-boats, which is at best just an intermediate officer. If you want to become a senior officer or even a naval marshal, only air and submarine can have hope.

Now Crank lets himself stay and command together and let the battleships accompany him, which shows that he will have the opportunity to stand alone in the future. So many aircraft carriers in the shipyard cannot have only one or two commanders.

Crank asked, "Do you think this fleet is coming to our fleet or the American Republic?"

"This is not good." Xinz pondered for a moment, "I think both are possible. The most urgent thing is to understand the strength of the enemy. In fact, the enemy is generally clear about how much strength our army has. If they really plan to deal with the fleet, they will not only draw a small amount of troops. Before there is no strong enough counter-proof, I personally think that this fleet is for us because the Americans will never launch a counter-attack in Brazil without taking down our fleet."

Krank nodded, and Hinz's judgment coincided with him: Now the Eastern Front, the battlefield of Britain ended, the European war has come to an end, South America will be the main battlefield in the next stage, and the last link of the final victory of this war. Although there are still South Africa's factors, both Hinz and he believe that this is not difficult for Germany: Stalin's 10 million troops on the Eastern Front have been wiped out, and the only 300,000 enemy troops in South Africa can't deal with it?

"General Mashar and Marshal Kettle sent me one after another: the head of state has agreed to continue to increase troops to South America, but it will take some time: on the one hand, our army has just received two British armored aircraft carriers, and we need to be familiar with the ship's conditions and launch sea trials. On the other hand, the army is replenishing and changing clothes, which also takes time." Crank thought for a while, "I want to talk to General Shaoken and hear what he has to consider for the next stage of the war."

Shaoken didn't know that reinforcements would continue to be sent in the country, so he hurriedly asked for details.

The South American reinforcement plan formulated by Yodel is code-named "Watch": it plans to increase South American troops to more than 400,000 through 2-3 large-scale reinforcements. The entire operation involves a large scale, including at least three marshals: Hort and Rommel, and even Paulus.

Rommel's appointment is easy to understand. He was already responsible for the American Republic, but Yodel couldn't figure out why the head of state added Hort and Paulus.

Keitel said in one sentence: "Hot is the Minister of Defense of the future Republic of America, and Paulus will be the Chief of General Staff! This country is a bridgehead for the German people in South America. Without effective people and troops, can the head of state sit safely? As for Shoken and Mandofir, they will be the commanders of the two armies of this country in the future."

"Why wasn't Rommel the Secretary of Defense?"

Keitel smiled and shook his head: "The Head of State thinks he is not suitable."

"I understand!"

Yodel immediately came to his senses: Hot had outstanding diplomatic skills, was peaceful, and was good at dealing with complex situations. Rommel was good at fighting, but he was not qualified to be the Minister of Defense. As for Paulus, he has always been the head of state's confidant general. He served as the deputy chief of staff and the chief of staff of the American Republic, which was considered to be the best use of it.

Hoffmann's feelings for Paulus have undergone a very complicated change: at first he hated him for ruining the Sixth Army in history, and then easily became a tainted witness. Guo Zongduan moved south from the position of commander of the Sixth Army and exiled him to the Western Front. However, after really reaching the Western Front, Paulus did not recover, but instead figured out more tricks. On the one hand, he stared at Longdstedt for Hoffman, and on the other hand, he organized the imaginary enemy headquarters, and did a great job in all aspects, which made Hoffman nod and commended again.

Especially in the process of seizing the Gibraltar Fortress, Paulus performed well and successfully achieved the goal, making Hoffman feel that this person could still be used to control troops on the front line. However, the comprehensive planning of the Chief of General Staff should be good. After repeated consideration, he decided to put him in the position of Chief of General Staff of the American Republic. He believed that Paulus could complete this task.

"400,000?" Hearing such a huge number, Shaoken couldn't help but gasp and asked in surprise, "Is the Head of State planning to occupy the entire Brazil?"

"No, the head of state didn't say that when he told me." Crank smiled, "and the 400,000 troops are not only focused on the present, but also on the needs of defending the American Republic in the next few years."

Before departure, Hoffman's instructions to Crank were very clear. Before a new batch of reinforcements arrived, the Navy must cooperate with Shoken to maintain the situation in South America:

The best option is to consolidate the defense of the American Republic and expand its influence on Montero. Now that Montero has successfully couped, it is to expand the control of the Montero Brazilian government;

The suboptimal choice is to help Montero preserve Sao Paulo and Rio, two densely populated and psychologically significant areas;

The Brazilian government must be abandoned whenever it is necessary, but the American Republic must be preserved.

But after really arriving in South America, Crank found that the situation was more optimistic than expected, and the asking price for the situation in South America was increased a little further, explaining: "From the attitude of the head of state, after the battle of South America and the South Africa, the war between the United States and Germany should be able to achieve a truce. I guess the psychological asking price of the head of state is nothing more than the following five points:
