Third Reich: I took over power

Washington, inside the underground headquarters of the garrison headquarters.

The garrison commander, Admiral Hugh Drum, was sitting behind his desk, frowning.

Overhead, the dim lights were swaying, making the light in the office increasingly dimmer.

Admiral Hugh Drum held a battle damage report in his hand, although there were cold numbers on it. But every number means a living life. This is undoubtedly a huge loss for them

"well! The firepower of the Third Reich was so powerful and sharp. I don’t know how many of our soldiers can hold on when they launch a general attack!"Admiral Hugh Drum sighed.

Every night, he would receive a battle damage report, recording the losses of the Eagle Army during the day.

Although the large-scale offensive of the Third Reich Army has not yet begun. However, The continuous shelling and bombing alone have caused the Eagle Army to suffer a lot. Countless soldiers were killed. Not to mention a large number of defense fortifications were destroyed. This made Washington The combat effectiveness of the garrison was greatly weakened.

More importantly, the morale of the troops was also greatly affected. Admiral Hugh Drum was worried that once the Third Reich Army launched an attack , I don’t know how many armies will be defeated directly. Or even directly surrender to the troops of the Third Reich.

Such a phenomenon may sound incredible. But in fact, it has happened many times on the battlefield. So much so that Hugh Drum The admiral is very frustrated about the upcoming battle. It can even be said that he doesn’t have much confidence anymore.

"Bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door of the office, which also interrupted Admiral Hugh Drum's meditation.

"Please come in!"General Hugh Drum said.

Immediately, the door opened. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley, chief of staff of the Eastern Theater Command and chief of staff of the Washington Garrison Command, walked in

"Your Excellency, Commander! Lieutenant General Omar Bradley saluted

"Take a seat, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff. It's so late and you haven't rested yet?"Admiral Hugh Drum asked.

"Commander, I can't sleep! The current situation is really too bad for us."Lieutenant General Omar Bradley seemed a little anxious.

General Hugh Drum nodded. As the commander, of course he knew how bad the situation was. However, there was nothing that could be done about it! Who could do it? Let their enemies be so powerful. Is it difficult for them to win this battle?

"The situation is difficult. But in the face of the Third Reich's attack, do we have any other choice besides standing up to resist? If we don't resist, our great country will be completely doomed."Admiral Hugh Drum said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I personally support resistance to the end. However, the prerequisite is that our resistance must be valuable and we must be able to win. Otherwise, these resistances are simply in vain and a waste of effort. It will only increase our casualties."Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.

Admiral Hugh Drum couldn't help but frowned. He was a little confused about Lieutenant General Omar Bradley's true intention.

He knew very well that as the Eagle Country The constant defeats on the battlefield caused many generals of the Eagle Kingdom to have serious doubts about the future and victory. In order to save their own lives and even their own interests, many people did not hesitate to become traitors and betray the third party. The empire surrendered.

Although he despised the behavior of these people, Admiral Hugh Drum could understand it.

It is normal for people to have their own ambitions and consider their own interests. This is also in line with the universal values ​​of the Western world.

But General Hugh Drum seemed not to have thought that even Lieutenant General Omar Bradley had this tendency. This was his most trusted chief of staff!

He could not directly order Omar Bradley to be Lieutenant General, arrest him. If that happens, I don’t know how big a shock it will cause in the army. It will even make other betrayers take risks. Lieutenant General

Omar Bradley is also a smart man, Hugh Drew The change in Admiral Mu's face made him guess what he was thinking.

So, he quickly explained

"Commander, please don't get me wrong, I am loyal to our country and people. It's just that someone expressed another opinion to me. I personally think that this makes sense. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.

Admiral Hugh Drum nodded and was no longer as embarrassed as before.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have now become an outcast, abandoned. Our task is to hold back the troops of the Third Reich and buy enough time for the battle in the central and western regions. Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said.

Admiral Hugh Drum was silent for a while and did not answer.

In fact, he knew that what Lieutenant General Omar Bradley said was right. Now they have indeed become They were abandoned sons. The Franklin administration asked them to hold on as long as possible in Washington to resist the attack of the Third Reich, so as to buy time for the Eagle Country to mobilize its troops to the western mountains. From the standpoint of the country, this The request is understandable and appropriate.

However, for the more than two million troops stationed in Washington, this is very unfair. Because it is equivalent to asking them to die!

This is undoubtedly An extremely cruel order, and one that the people below are very resistant to.

After all, in the Western world, the first priority is personal interests. Secondly, the interests of the country.

"Commander, do you think we can really succeed? Lieutenant General Omar Bradley then asked.

Admiral Hugh Drum thought about it seriously and then shook his head.

"Although, many people hope that we can succeed and resist the invasion of the Third Reich. However, judging from the current situation. The Third Reich was too powerful. It is basically impossible for us to resist their attack. The possibility of failure will be very high. Unless a miracle happens. For example, Hess suddenly died of illness, the Third Reich fell into civil strife and could no longer attack us, etc."Admiral Hugh Drum said.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. But we all know that this is almost impossible!"Lieutenant General Omar Bradley Shudu

"yes! it's out of the question. So, we are destined to fail this time!"Admiral Hugh Drum looked a little frustrated.
