Operation Ewigensieg

Rudolf Hausser:

Through Operation Ewigensieg, the Reich shall retake Beanie and take Babushka. Babushka has continuoully supported the enemy and this time they have caused us to lose Beanie; therefore it is time that they be exterminated.

This attack may very likely bring in Mongolasia and Napon, and if we prevail may even bring in other parties not related to the fight, such as the Church. We must be prepared to take on these powers.

Strategy
Phase 1
The Luftwaffe will attack air bases, radar, and anti-air systems; aircraft on the ground and in the air; fortifications and artillery; bridges and railways; missile sites; and command-and-control centers. If necessary, they shall attack the aircraft carrier.

Arleigh Burke destroyers shall be destroyed with submarines before they can pose a threat to the Luftwaffe.

Phase 2
The Kriegsmarine with a large fleet will leave Australis and sail to Beanie. There it shall destroy all naval threats. It will then separate into three groups that shall go to eastern Beanie, western Beanie, and southern Babushka. The Kriegsmarine will bombard the coast before the invasion.

Phase 3
Paratroopers will be inserted into Beanie to wreak havoc.

Tanks, infantry, artillery, etc will leave the cargo ships and take the shore, creating fortifications if necessary. As soon as possible the tanks will move swiftly forward with a wide front and crush everything in their path. The ultimate destination is Beanie City.


Drebkau military commanders may suggest and deviate from these instructions as seen fit.

Deutschlander has 60,000 troops, and has placed into effect a draft for the purpose of training so that reserves may be called up at any moment.

Deutschlander is willing to donate the following:
40,000 troops
600 battle tanks
100 aircraft
1/3 of the navy

In the case that Mongolasia and/or Napon gets involved, Deutschlander will pledge the whole military.

What is Drebkau willing to donate? And please note any questions or suggestions.

Sieg Heil!

Gen. Eckhard Dietrich:

This sounds like an excelent plan...but since my mind is faulty currently, who is occupying beanie?

Drebkau will start a draft. Drebkau will donate:

20,000 troops
200 Tanks
60 fighter aircraft
20 bombers
20 Miscelaneous aircraft.
1 Fleet consisting of 2 Subs, 2 Cruisers, 6 Destroyers, 1 small carrier, 1 minesweeper, and 1 hospital ship.

Drebkau will begin flying near Beanie/Babushka to gather electronic intel.

Rudolf Hausser:

The Barbarians are occupying Beanie and holding the former Count's family hostage

Gen. Eckhard Dietrich:

Ah yes. We shall see what kind of military strength they have shortly

The barbarians have 2500 troops in there...very meager.

I don't suppose that includes the ones in Babushka...

Would any Drebkau generals like to volunteer to lead the attack on one of the three landing zones?

Gen. Eckhard Dietrich at your disposal...

No that doesn't, but they don't have anything over 10,000 pretty sure...

Yes, you're probably right.

Does General Dietrich have any preferences?

Yes, the navy and the air should coordinate strikes so that the navy hits the AA and the air hits artillery...

Also it might be good to have attack helicopters or ground attack aircraft to engage the AA while the bombers etc do their work...

What is the typical range of naval bombardment?

12 mi.

Good. That, I believe, is sufficient.
Sounds like a plan.
The jungle will probably be the main challenge

With sufficient men and a blitzcreig like attitude, it shouldn't be a problem Can it start anytime? I will make sure it goes smoothly
