Chapter 1569 Successful Containment

The war between great powers begins by first attacking the other side's industrial base. Only by destroying the other side's industrial capacity can there be hope of victory.

The industrial base of the United States is quite strong. At the beginning, Pheasant Fifty-six opposed war with the United States because the industrial capabilities of the United States were too strong, not comparable to island countries. The island countries destroyed a Pacific fleet of the United States. Another one will be built in 2010, and conversely, if the island nation's navy is destroyed in a naval battle, the island nation's navy is doomed.

The island country does not have the strength to challenge the United States, and the island people have never thought of hitting the mainland of the United States. As long as the United States does not interfere in the affairs of the island country, it is enough for the island people to expand their territories in Southeast Asia with peace of mind.

But not Germany.

For Germany, unless the United States is defeated, the war will never end. The United States is the last base of those remnant forces, and they must fight against the United States!

Washington, White House.

It was already dark, and no one could keep going. The person who worked the last time also went home at 8 o'clock, but as soon as he got home, he was called back again.

When Marshall was the last to walk in, he didn't know what happened, but everyone was sullen, as if their father had died.

"The German war on our homeland has officially begun." Roosevelt said: "Just half an hour ago, our Newport News shipyard was bombed by the Germans and suffered heavy losses. Even the construction was underway. One of the aircraft carriers was also destroyed."

Hearing this, Marshall was stunned for a moment, and his intuitive reaction was, how is this possible?

"The Germans used bombers?" Marshall asked. "Don't we have an aviation base nearby? Although most of the recruits are rookies, the Germans have come from a long distance, and there will never be many!"

"Not a bomber," said Navy Minister Ernst. "The Germans used their missiles."

"Can the German missiles fly so far?" Now it was Marshall's turn to question.

Ernst had heard too much about this question just now. In fact, when he heard the news, he had the same question, but it was finally confirmed.

"Yes. The Germans have developed a powerful aerospace system, and their missiles have been able to cross the Atlantic Ocean." Ernst said: "From now on, we will always face German missile attacks."

Americans have never paid attention to missiles. For them, this thing is a thing that is not useful. Historically, Americans did not have any technical reserves during World War II. American rocket technology was completely from the end of World War II. Later, the German team was brought over.

The U.S. brought Braun and others to the U.S., while the Soviets brought back the technical materials of the train skins to the Soviet Union. The technologies of the U.S. and the Soviet Union almost all started from the German V-2 missile. Braun The father of American rockets.

Even when Apollo landed on the moon, Braun was at the helm.

Now, the United States does not have any technical reserves. The American rocket expert, Robert Goddard, as an American professor, engineer and inventor, was the inventor of liquid rockets. He launched the world's first liquid rocket on March 16, 1926!

If the United States could take it seriously, there would have been mature rockets long ago, but unfortunately, there were voices mocking him everywhere, thinking he was a clown, and as a result, Cyric took him to Germany.

From the perspective of confrontation, if the United States has the same technology, it will shoot at the Germans and hit the Germans with missiles, but now, the Americans do not have it!

"If we look at the counterattack, we can use our B-29 bombers, from the air base in Greenland, we can bomb to the German capital Berlin, and then come back, but the strong air defense capabilities of the Germans will give us horrific casualties of the bomber force."

At the beginning, when the Pacific War broke out, the B-29 had not yet been developed, so the U.S. Navy had to use its own aircraft carrier to carry the B-25 to complete the first attack on the mainland of the island country. If there was a B-29 at that time , it is definitely much easier, it is enough to take off from Nanjing.

Now that the B-29 has entered service, it is summer, and the base in Greenland can be used, and it is not difficult to bomb the German capital.

However, Roosevelt shook his head: "No."

That would make the situation worse.

The Germans attacked their own shipyards, not their own capital yet. If the Germans attacked the German capital now, not to mention how much they lost, it would definitely anger the Germans, the German missiles, It will fly towards its own capital. At that time, even the White House will not be able to stay, and will need to hide in the basement all day.

This is not good.

Now, Roosevelt's concern is not unreasonable, and at the same time, it is also sad that the United States has to consider such a consideration!

"Bomb their missile site," Roosevelt said. "Find their missile site, send our bombers, and blow it up, no matter the cost!"

The war between great powers requires attention to strategy. Now, the Germans' attack is to weaken the war potential of the United States and paralyze American industries. At the same time, the United States' counterattack is to prevent the Germans from launching missiles.

It cannot be expanded yet. The United States needs to accumulate strength. The longer it takes, the better the recovery of the United States. At the same time, the Germans will not expand the scale of the war before the end of the Soviet-German war. It can only be regarded as a harassment.

Finding the opponent's missile launch position is not something that can be done immediately. After all, when the opponent's missile is found, it is already time to fall. Where did it fly from? It requires the efforts of the intelligence personnel. .

"Right now, our industries on the East Coast are at risk of being hit," Roosevelt said. "My personal suggestion is that we should move to the West Coast, especially shipbuilding. It's more appropriate to focus on the West Coast."

If you can't fight, you can only hide. Under the current circumstances, the east coast is not safe. Fortunately, the United States faces the sea on both sides. Since the east coast is in danger, it is better to start from the west coast.

However, in this case, the industrial output value of the United States will be greatly reduced in a short period of time, especially the shipbuilding industry. If the shipbuilding industry on the east coast is abandoned, the plan of large shipbuilding in the United States will be greatly affected.

This is also a helpless choice. The missile attack of the Germans successfully curbed the US shipbuilding plan, which makes people feel as disgusting as eating shit.

"Mr. President, there is good news from the Soviet Union." At this moment, the Secretary of State hurried over: "The Soviets have successfully developed a big bomb that can destroy an entire city like the Germans."
