Third Reich: I took over power

Albany is nearly 400 kilometers away from Washington.

In order to rush for time, General Douglas MacArthur took a plane directly to Washington, regardless of the risks.

Now the entire Northern War Zone and the entire Eagle Country are in crisis, even at a critical juncture of life and death. He must seize the time and not waste any time. Otherwise, the situation will be very unfavorable for Eagle Sauce Country.

After arriving in Washington, General Douglas MacArthur went directly to the Army Staff. He first needed to win the support of General George Marshall. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to convince Franklin to govern.

Even though Franklin was in power and trusted him very much, he even had great expectations for him at one time. But with the performance of the Northern Theater in this war, Franklin's administration has become suspicious of him.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the Northern Theater needs your help. In other words, the entire Eagle Sauce Country also needs you to save it. Otherwise, once we are defeated miserably in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The consequences will be very serious. The entire northern theater would be defeated. As a result, the entire defense line in the northern part of the Eagle Sauce Country was completely lost. At that time, the troops of the Third Reich will be able to march straight in."General Douglas MacArthur looked anxious.

Now he is really forced into a desperate situation. Once he fails this time, he may never have a chance to stand up again. General

George Marshall also frowned. The situation the Northern Theater currently faces is indeed too dangerous. Such a large army was defeated by the Third Reich's Northern Army Group with inferior forces. It is even possible that even the main force will be surrounded and annihilated. This will make the Eagle There is a huge hole in the country's defense line in the north.

"General, what are you going to do? asked Gen. George Marshall.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we need to send reinforcements again. At least three to four army groups must be deployed to reinforce the front line. In this case, the situation can be changed. The Third Reich's Northern Army Group only had a total of 1.5 million people. Moreover, these troops have already been put into the battlefield. In a short period of time, it was impossible for them to invest more troops. This will be an excellent opportunity for us. If you can seize this opportunity, you may be able to defeat them in one fell swoop!" said General Douglas MacArthur.

"Three or four armies? Are you going to make a desperate move and devote all the troops in the northern theater to the battlefield? In that case, what will you do in the northern defense zone? There will be a serious shortage of troops. What's more, there are only three armies left in the northern theater, and they are already seriously short of troops. General George Marshall frowned.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, so we need your help. The Northern Theater Command can send the 14th Group Army northward. However, to ensure the defense of coastal areas. I hope it would be best if three armies could be mobilized from the Eastern Theater to reinforce us. In this case, we will have enough troops to go north." said General Douglas MacArthur.

"Deploy three armies from the Eastern Theater? I'm afraid this is unlikely. General Hugh Drum is not that easy to talk to."General George Marshall shook his head.

You know, General Hugh Drum is also a veteran general with deep qualifications in the Eagle Country Army. He has a very large influence in the army. He wants to be transferred from the Eastern Theater. How could he agree to assign as many as three armies to the command of the Northern Theater Command? Once these troops were transferred away, leaving the defense line in the Eastern Theater empty, and once the Third Reich came to attack and suffered a failure, this responsibility was not Whose? Who will bear the blame?

Even if General George Marshall is the Chief of Staff of the Eagle Army, he does not want to force General Hugh Drum to obey orders. In this case, it will be very stiff.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, those three armies are only temporarily assigned to my command. After this battle is over, we will return to the organizational structure of Dongfangfang War Zone. What's more, the northern war zone is now at a critical moment of life and death. As a friendly force, we can't just ignore it. Once the Northern Theater is finished, can the Eastern Theater withstand the Third Reich's attack? At that time, the entire country will be in a state of life and death!"General Douglas MacArthur suddenly became anxious.

General George Marshall nodded.

He must admit that the current situation is indeed very dangerous for the Eagle Country. If the Northern Theater really loses 7 armies, then The consequences will be very serious. By then, it may be difficult for the entire Eagle Sauce Country to persevere.

"Well, I personally support you. However, we need to communicate well with Admiral Hugh Drum."Admiral George Marshall proposed

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, we have no time, we must seize the time. Let us go to the White Palace and report all this to the Consul. I believe that your Excellency will make the right judgment. Gen. Douglas MacArthur urged. Gen.

George Marshall thought for a moment, then nodded.

"It is also appropriate for the ruling Excellency to issue orders."

After all, Franklin was the nominal commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy of the United States. He was the supreme commander of the army. All armies must obey his orders.

Immediately, General Douglas MacArthur and General George Marshall immediately He rushed to the White Palace and asked to see Governor Franklin.

After learning that the two men were visiting, Governor Franklin put down other work and took time to meet with them.

In fact, Governor Franklin was also troubled by the bad situation of the northern war situation. He There had even been doubts about General Douglas MacArthur, believing that he did not have the ability to command so many troops.

However, Franklin had not made up his mind for a while in office whether General Douglas MacArthur should be replaced.

Now it is the front line At the most critical moment, if the generals are changed before the battle, it may seriously affect the morale of the troops and have the opposite effect.

Therefore, the Franklin administration also wanted to see what General Douglas MacArthur wanted to say, and whether it could Change the bad perception in his mind.

If General Douglas MacArthur's performance cannot satisfy him, he will make up his mind to replace him.

After all, as the ruler of the Eagle Country, he must serve the Eagle Country. For the sake of consideration, personal feelings cannot be mixed in.
