Eisenhower’s actions have achieved great success in the five eastern states. With the support of Vanelk, the German army not only restored the local economy, but also stabilized the local security situation.
With the end of this wave of large-scale arrests, the identity information of tens of millions of American soldiers in the occupied areas is almost entirely in the hands of the German army!
This allows the Empire to have a clear grasp of the situation of these people, and can also accurately strike and capture any organization or individual among them!
Not only that, this information is also crucial to the subsequent economic recovery in North America
“During the three-month operation from April to July, our army captured a total of 465,000 people, including 280,000 defeated US deserters, 30,000 American militants who infiltrated from the north, and most of the rest were criminals, rednecks and extreme American patriots.
In this operation, our army suffered a total of 1,782 casualties, including 762 deaths and 1,020 injuries. Most of the deaths and injuries were caused by armed resistance during the arrest operation, and a small number were caused by sneak attacks by militants.
Our army confiscated a total of about 54 million guns and about 2.45 billion rounds of ammunition. In addition, it also seized more than 200 radio stations and communication equipment of various types.……”
The initial results of the security war can be said to be very fruitful. Although it took the German army three months, it was worth it in exchange for the safety and stability of the rear. This price was worth it in the eyes of both Mainz and Manstein.
Moreover, after this successful operation, their currency, banking and financial reforms can proceed smoothly. Otherwise, if the large number of militants and tens of millions of guns in the civilian population are allowed to exist, the Empire will definitely encounter extremely fierce resistance if it wants to promote its own currency and financial system in North America. At that time, the casualties caused will not only be as small as they are now!
“Well done, General Eisenhower. I will report all the achievements of your unit in the past three months to the Imperial Headquarters and present them to the Führer for review. I believe that it won’t be long before the commendation from Berlin arrives. I hope you will not be too arrogant and keep up the good work and make more contributions to the Empire!”
Manstein encouraged the other party, and then painted a big pie.
When Eisenhower heard that his battle results were presented to the head of state, he was immediately excited!
The head of state is busy with all kinds of things, and not everything can alarm him!
What he did was mediocre, and compared with those famous generals of the empire who galloped on the battlefield and achieved one brilliant victory after another, it was almost not worth mentioning!
His contribution, after all, was just doing some work of a sheriff. As for fighting some militants and confiscating civilian weapons, these were neither technically demanding nor a big deal in Eisenhower’s eyes. Even if he was not there, there were others to complete them, so he was doing an irreplaceable job!
In this case, even Eisenhower himself did not think that it would be heard by the head of state, so he was naturally very excited!
“Yes, General, I will not let the Führer and you down!”
Watching Eisenhower walk away with his head held high, Manstein nodded slightly and said to Vanelk beside him:”What do you think of this young man?”
Vanelk stared at Eisenhower’s back, thought for a moment, and then said:”I actually heard of him when I first came to Eagle Sauce!”
“Oh? Is that true?”
Manstein seemed very interested in what Vanelk said and pretended to listen attentively.
Vanelk originally came to North America with Mainz, Guderian and others.
That was when World War I had just ended and the German army was downsizing and reorganizing in the Weimar Republic. Mainz offended many Junker nobles in the country because of his radical measures. In order to protect him, Marshal Hindenburg asked him to go on a global tour to temporarily avoid the limelight. During that global tour, Mainz and others visited many places, and Eagle Sauce was the second to last stop after the British Empire.
Although seven or eight years have passed, Vanelk still remembers that trip vividly.
After all, that can be regarded as the starting point for several of them.
But unlike Guderian and others, Vanelk arrived in Eagle Sauce. Afterwards, he did not return to Europe with the main force, but stayed in North America, lurking, and acted as Mainz’s eyes and ears in North America.
Not only that, through his relationship with Goldman Sachs, Vanelk began to get involved in the financial and economic fields of the Eagle Sauce, and grew little by little, and finally became the leading financial group in North America.
In this process, Vanelk used various means to transfer a large amount of funds to the empire and helped the empire through the most difficult period.
Manstein had heard of this history, but he didn’t know much. In addition, Vanelk had been lurking in North America for a long time and had never returned to Europe, so the two had almost no intersection.
So he was naturally very interested in this matter. After all, as the richest man in North America, who would not be interested in the colorful world of the rich?
“Haha, people say that the empire is a country owned by soldiers, and the Eagle Sauce is a country owned by capitalists. In the Eagle Sauce, the rich are above the country, so if you want to ask me how it feels to be the richest man in the Eagle Sauce?
Then I can only say that it feels great. This feeling is probably more refreshing than that of the president in the White House!”
Vanelke is not bragging. He has a good relationship with the previous president of the Eagle Sauce, President Hack. President Hack has received a lot of benefits from him and helped him do a lot of private work. For example, the Azores were bought from the hands of the Portuguese country with the help of President Hack!
If it weren’t for the help of President Hack, the archipelago would have fallen into the hands of the Eagle Sauce Navy at the first time, and once the navy controlled it, the Allied control over the Atlantic would definitely be greatly improved, and the German army would never be so easy to cross their blockade and land on the North American mainland!
It can be said that the glorious victory of the war in North America was largely due to Vanelke!
“But don’t think too much, I was forced to spend money because of my job, but I’m not interested in money!”
