Chapter 1701 go around in a circle
The eastern part of Mexico is the Gulf of Mexico, which is a peaceful and peaceful bay surrounded by American territory in the north, the eastern part is surrounded by the protruding Florida Peninsula, and the southern part is the Mexican peninsula. The two peninsulas almost surrounded the harbor, leaving behind the Yucatan Strait.
The sea passage in the middle is blocked by islands such as Cuba and the Bahamas, which means that there are islands around it!
Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult for a large number of German landing ships to cross the vast seas of this island and to successfully land in Mexico.
It can be discovered from afar. Even if the Americans did not react at first, they would immediately react in the future. The army's mobilization will take time, and the aviation force will be faster and it is easy to block the route.
You should know that conquering the United States requires millions of troops. Even in advance, at least more than 500,000 troops must be sent. The ammunition and supplies of these troops are all astronomical, so cargo ships need to be transported back and forth and continuously.
Now, this route is easily blocked, which means that even if you can complete the login in advance, you will face the risk of failure due to poor supply in the later stage.
As the first general to follow Cialek, as the father of the blitz who led the army reform and created a new style of blitzkrieg, his worries are reasonable.
Now, Goodrian expressed his worries.
Everyone nodded frequently. If you go to Mexico by sea, you may have these risks and some of them will not work. Looking at the densely packed islands in the sea, many people are surprised.
It's impossible. Why can't Head of Cialick see such an obvious problem?
Cialek nodded as well.
When I chose Mexico as a springboard, I had already noticed this problem. Landing on the east coast of Mexico was quite cumbersome and was not conducive to concealment. However, who stipulated that it was necessary to land on the east coast of Mexico?
Just turn your eyes and look at the west coast of Mexico, near the Pacific Ocean, where it is extremely empty and has a clear view!
Now, all present are the highest levels of the empire, and they already know their next plan. Since they know that Mexico has obeyed, the next one can be announced.
"We walked to the Southern Atlantic Ocean, first gathered in Argentina, then turned around and entered the Pacific Ocean, and landed from the west of Mexico." Cirick's words immediately made everyone present suddenly realize.
It is definitely unrealistic to land in eastern Mexico. The subsequent supplies were cut off, and the troops that landed in advance were in the turtle in the jar.
On the contrary, the route formulated by Head of Cialek is very realistic.
In the eyes of Americans, Germany mainly intends to land from Canada, so it will focus on the North Atlantic Ocean. Germany, a large number of landing ships and transport ships, have all gone to the South Atlantic Ocean. In this way, Americans don’t know anything.
Although the fleet is vast and placed in the ocean, it is just small dots that cannot be noticed at all. It will be a difficult problem in future generations, let alone now.
Argentina, Germany's closest partner in South America, has long made various promises waiting for Germany's needs.
Argentina will become a temporary stop and supply point for the fleet, and even store all kinds of strategic materials in Argentina in advance.
Even if the US intelligence system pays attention, it won’t care. After all, if it is pushed from Argentina, South America will be able to fight for a few months, and the United States will have plenty of time to react.
As a result, the German army appeared in Mexico.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Guderian's face. In this way, his own landing would be at ease. The strength of the American Navy could not even rob the control of the Atlantic Ocean, let alone take a walk in South America.
Poor Americans spent a lot of money and built defense projects along the Atlantic coast, which was in vain.
The head of state Cialick was the wisest thing to do, and planned everything.
"Do you have any comments on my plan?" asked Cialek.
This is a sincere inquiry. In the past, every plan formulated by Cialek was proven to be absolutely correct. Unconsciously, Cialek had become a god-like existence.
That was before, and Cialek had known history to refer to, but now, there is no reference anymore. Every step you take must be considered clearly.
The others didn't speak, and even Scherner had no objection. When Cyric's eyes fell on Reinhardt, Reinhardt added a few words.
"We should contact local merchants now to store large quantities of food and other materials, and transport them from Europe. It is more convenient than buying them from the local area," said Reinhardt.
Argentina has many Germans, a considerable number of them are businessmen, so it is too simple to contact them.
Cialek nodded.
"Also, in the southern part of Argentina, the Drake Strait, the natural environment is quite harsh, so we must be mentally prepared."
If you want to travel between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, you either walk the Panama Canal or you can only walk through this strait. The passage indicated by Cialek is to go around here.
The Drake Strait is located between the southernmost tip of South America and the Southern Shetland Islands of Antarctica, close to Chile and Argentina. It is an important strait for the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean to communicate with each other in the south, and it is also the place where the boundary between South America and Antarctica.
The strait is about 00 kilometers long from east to west and 970 kilometers wide from north to south. It is an important channel from all over the world to Antarctica. Due to the influence of polar whirlwinds, there are often strong winds and huge waves in the straits, and sometimes the waves can reach 10-20 meters high. Icebergs that slide down from Antarctica often float in the straits, which brings difficulties to navigation.
It can be said that the navigation conditions are harsh. If February is the summer in the southern hemisphere, there are still less floes there. Now, those floating floes are a test for passing ships.
"Yes, you can't be too anxious about this matter. We must be fully prepared." Cialick said: "From now on, make a detailed plan!"
The plan was even started a few years ago when I wanted to launch a national war. Now, Germany has been waiting for Mexico's response. Since Mexico has agreed, let's plan in detail with Mexico as the core.
"Code name, ice flowing." Cialick said again, looking at the large scale of the world map.
