Do we have to fight this battle?
After conquering New Orleans, Model had planned to return to Florida.
But just as he was about to go back, Vanelk suddenly found him and suggested that he march to Texas, and stated that he must at least fight a battle with the rednecks in Texas.
This suggestion made Model a little confused. He didn’t know why the other party wanted to do this. In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary!
Well, this battle is necessary!
Faced with Model’s doubts, Vanelk’s attitude was very firm!
Can you give me a reason? After all, the troops I brought with me this time are not many, and there are many American troops in Texas. In addition, this is where the rednecks gather. If we fight here, the difficulties we face will be much greater than in Louisiana!
Since there are not many American troops in Louisiana, Model only brought two armies this time, less than 150,000 people. There is no problem using these troops to deal with the American troops in Louisiana. After all, the total strength of the American troops here is only about 100,000, and the area of Louisiana is not large, which is completely different from Texas next door!
Texas ranks among the top in terms of area among the 50 states of the United States. It is one of the top states. It has a large population and a tough folk customs. The US military is much stronger than Louisiana.
In Model’s view, if the German army wants to attack Texas, it must mobilize at least 300,000 troops.
Although he is confident that he can defeat the US troops here with 100,000 troops, in the face of the harassment of the rednecks, the German army must allocate a large number of troops to protect its railway transportation lines to avoid destruction.
In the Battle of New Orleans, the actions of the rednecks have shown that they have a targeted destruction plan for the German logistics system. If they do not want their troops’ retreat and supply lines to be cut off, they must send heavy troops to We need to protect these important transportation routes, which is why we need a large number of soldiers!
To be honest, Model is not interested in fighting this kind of war. The rednecks in Texas are not easy to mess with. They are not regular troops that can be killed all at once on the battlefield. They are just a group of civilian armed elements, so it is difficult to catch them all in one fell swoop!
The result of not being able to catch them all in one fell swoop is that even if the German army occupies Texas, they will only get a Texas full of resistance and attacks everywhere. They will immediately fall into the quagmire of security war!
If Model had millions of troops at this time, he would not mind fighting a security war with the rednecks in Texas.
But at this time, he has insufficient troops, and there is a bigger enemy, the Eagle Sauce government army, that has not been resolved. It would not be a rational decision to get involved in Texas at this time.
And this point has been discussed very clearly between Vanelk and him before, so he is very curious. He doesn’t know why the other party suddenly changed his mind. Did something happen?
The reason is simple. We only need to win this battle, and we will never have to fight the rednecks again. And maybe they will become Gurkhas in our hands!
Gurkhas are a minority mercenary army at the foot of the Himalayas in the South Asian subcontinent. They serve under the British Empire and are a very famous mercenary army in the British Army’s battle sequence. They are good at mountain warfare and special operations, with strong combat capabilities and tenacious fighting will. They are a feared force!
After serving the British Army, the Gurkha mercenaries have participated in dozens of wars, large and small. They are active in every colony of the British Empire, and countless enemies have died under their guns and scimitars. This has also made their reputation spread all over the world, and they are a terrifying existence!
So at this time, after hearing what Vanelk said, Model’s eyes immediately lit up, and he instantly understood what the other party meant!
You mean, recruit the rednecks in Texas?
Model’s tone revealed his undisguised excitement and anticipation, but he soon had a question.
Judging from the performance of these rednecks before, they are like stones in the toilet, smelly and hard. Do you think they are really willing to accept our amnesty?
The number of rednecks captured by the German army on the battlefield is very small, and most of them were captured by the German army after being injured in the battle and unable to escape. There are very few who voluntarily surrender to the German army, almost non-existent!
It is hard to imagine that such a stubborn enemy would accept amnesty. In Model’s view, these enemies will definitely fight to the death!
Haha, if they are really so loyal to their motherland, it is impossible for us to recruit them. However, the rednecks in Texas are not loyal to the Eagle Sauce government, at least the current Northern government!
Vanelk sneered, and then told Model the intelligence he had obtained from the plans of his spies in Texas.
After listening to Vanelk’s description, Model suddenly realized it!
So there is such a thing! It has been so many years since the civil war in the Eagle Sauce, and they still can’t let it go. This is really curious. However, you are right. This is a rare opportunity for us. We must not miss this opportunity!
Although Model did not say it explicitly, his meaning was very clear. He was willing to cooperate with Vanelk’s plan and march to Texas.
Very good, I thought I couldn’t convince you, but I didn’t expect you to agree so quickly. This saves me a lot of trouble!
Vanelk breathed a sigh of relief.
Stop talking nonsense and tell me your plan!
Model waved his hand, signaling him not to waste time sighing and to get down to business.
Although he did not bring many troops from Florida, the German army was not strong to begin with. After several reinforcements, the number of troops was only 450,000. He took away 150,000 elite troops this time, and the German army in Florida was reduced by one third.
If the US troops in the north take the opportunity to go south at this time, Florida will be in trouble!
So they must fight quickly and decisively, and cannot drag on outside for too long. If they drag on for too long, the Eagle Sauce government will definitely react!
It’s very simple. My people will build momentum inside Texas, creating the illusion that we are preparing for a large-scale invasion and attacking Texas. Then we will mobilize them to march eastward, while we will march westward and defeat the rednecks head-on on the battlefield once, letting the rednecks know how powerful we are!
Houston is not far from Louisiana. If we march, why not just go all the way to Houston?
