Chapter 1529 No Choice
World War II was a terrible war, resulting in the disappearance of a large number of people, and how many people died in the war. For civilians, war is terrible, but for politicians, sometimes war is to achieve national goals. must be selected.
Now, many people have a keen insight that the benefits of this war to the United States are huge, all European countries have disappeared, and a lot of wealth has been transferred to the United States. If nothing else, when the war is over, the United States will become the western world. To say that the United States is far from Europe and is prevalent in isolationism, it is definitely just an ordinary person. As a national leader, he hopes that the country will command the world and become a world hegemon.
Now, the United States is taking this step. Although it may seem difficult, as long as the war is won, the United States will establish its hegemony for future generations.
America will not fail, and God will bless America.
And now, Nimitz's words made the people in front of him shine. Yes, this is a good idea.
The Western world has always been hostile to the Soviet Union. After all, the ideology is different. The West regards the Soviet Union as a thorn in its side, but now, with the rise of Germany, the United States has begun to support the Soviet Union.
Leasing weapons and equipment, supplies, etc. At the same time, the United States also directly sent troops to help the Soviet Union defend Moscow. The United States and the Soviet Union have become very close.
At sea, the Soviets' transportation lines are always at risk of interruption, and the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War is also facing failure. At this time, the support of the United States is very important. The United States helps them stationed in the Kamchatka Peninsula and guards the An important route, why not?
Even if the Soviets felt it was inappropriate, they had no chance of refusing, because they had no choice.
In this way, we can expand the power of the United States to the Far East of the Soviet Union. After the Second World War is won, we can also have some demands on the territory of the Soviet Union.
We will talk about it later, but for now, they are helping the Soviets with good intentions.
"Also, the Soviets wanted us to provide Bazooka's technology," Hull said.
On the Soviet battlefield, Bazooka showed terrifying combat effectiveness in the first battle. They penetrated the main armor of German tanks and successfully stopped the attack of the German tank army.
Later, the Soviet Union asked the United States for a large number of bazookas. This simple-structured weapon can be mass-produced in the United States at any time, so the United States produced a ship of bazooka.
As a result, they all sank in the Pacific Ocean.
I don't know when the next batch will arrive. At this time, it is normal for the Soviets to ask for bazooka technology.
"You can give it to them," Roosevelt said. "Even if we don't give it, they can reverse engineer it based on the bazooka we provided."
This thing is not a high-tech weapon at all, it is just a clever idea. Once it is dismantled, it is quite easy to imitate.
The Soviets faced the German tank sea, no matter what anti-tank weapons, they had to give them priority.
In the eyes of Roosevelt, this matter is not particularly important. At present, the most urgent thing for his side is the war with the island country.
"When will the turning point of the Pacific War usher in?" Roosevelt's eyes focused on the Hawaiian Islands and asked his staff.
"We still lack enough strength." Nimitz said: "The warships built in our rear will take time. We will have a large-scale counter-offensive at least next year, and now, we are still seeking cooperation with the islanders. The main fleet is in a decisive battle, as long as we destroy the main fleet of the islanders in a key battle, we will be able to lay the groundwork for a counteroffensive."
In the Battle of Midway, the islanders won the landing battle, and by tactical deception, they managed to gain a firm foothold on Midway.
However, at sea, their fleet suffered heavy losses, and the main aircraft carriers suffered heavy blows.
Although the losses were huge, the navy of the island nation still had the ability to fight. For example, their Yamato was still there, and they also had a German escort aircraft carrier. At the same time, their routes were quite cunning.
The number of navies in the United States is also insufficient. The idea of seeking a decisive battle with the navies of the island countries has always been there, but it has never been realized.
Now, the Pacific battlefield is still in a stalemate.
Moscow.
The three-way army is pressing on Moscow. This pressure is simply beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even Stalin speaks less now. He smokes very fiercely, and the cigarette pot in his hand is almost non-stop.
After taking two puffs, he listened to the reports of his subordinates amid the smoke.
"Our transportation route in the Pacific Ocean has suffered heavy losses. This time, all the fleet, along with the escort ships, sank." The expression on Kuznetsov, the People's Commissar of the Navy was also very serious: " This shows that in the Pacific region, there are already more than ten submarines in it. We are no longer facing one or two submarines, but a group of submarines. When our fleet sails, these submarines are like wolves. The same group, come up and bite us, unless we have a large number of anti-submarine ships, we can't crack it at all."
The losses were heavy, the Soviets were in desperate need of these goods, and the front line was hit hard, especially the bazooka. Every unit was eagerly waiting for it, and even the commander of the front was reporting every day.
The results of it? disappeared into the Pacific Ocean.
Since getting the news, Stalin's face has been ugly.
If American reinforcements can't be brought in all the time, what a shit!
"At present, our navy does not have this strength." When Kuznetsov was talking, he was quite unwilling. Indeed, he did not have this strength.
The Northern Fleet has shrunk in the Arctic Circle and dare not come out. The Black Sea Fleet has disappeared, and only the Far East Fleet remains. They are all junk from the Tsarist Russia period. What can they use to fight the Germans?
The current resources of the Soviet Union are not enough to deal with the war on land, and it is impossible to share the burden with the navy. The navy even needs to become infantry and participate in the war on the ground.
It is ironic that the Soviet navy has no ability to deal with German submarines.
"In other words, we have to agree to the American proposal?"
When the Americans said they were willing to help the anti-submarine aircraft, the Soviet Union was happy, but when it came to stationing in the Kamchatka Peninsula, the Soviet Union had to think clearly.
The reality is cruel, the Soviet Union has no choice.
"Then ask them to enter." Stalin said: "We have no time to wait, and the next fleet must set sail immediately."
After speaking, the whole conference room was silent again, only the clock was clicking, and almost half an hour later, Stalin said: "If these submarines are all German, then, do they need an overseas base? ?"
