Chapter 1656 The Brain Hole Is Wide Open

It takes time to build a warship. After all, even if it is an escort aircraft carrier, the shortest construction period is a few months, and attacking an aircraft carrier takes seven or eight months without a year, which is already the fastest.

Several ships were about to be built, but they were bombed again. The U.S. Navy was about to cry without tears. Now, Nimitz gave an idea.

Since we can't get enough naval fleets in a short period of time to make the U.S. Navy as strong as Germany, let's just pull the German Navy to the same level as ours.

It takes a long time to build a warship, but it takes a long time to build a plane.

In this era, building aircraft and tanks are almost the same, but it is not as expensive as the aircraft of later generations. A country is a big country with a few hundred aircraft, and there are tens of thousands of aircraft at every turn.

The next step for the Germans is definitely to attack Greenland. Then, simply set up an ambush in Greenland or set up an ambush nearby to attack the German fleet!

Nimitz's proposal won everyone's approval, and Roosevelt was even more inspired. In this case, let's not copy some German battle examples. In the past, the German air raid on Scapa Flow was definitely the most exciting. Yes!

Why don't we organize a similar air strike from Greenland and blow up the German naval base? As long as a few of their aircraft carriers are bombed and sunk, then the United States will usher in a short period of peace, and there will be enough respite.

When Roosevelt thought of this, he was all excited, and his face flushed, as if his life had a second spring, that is, why didn't he think of it?

Attack the German fleet and turn the tide in one fell swoop!

In Roosevelt's heart, this idea suddenly popped up, and he couldn't take it back. Looking at his staff, Roosevelt blurted out: "How about we attack the German naval base? We sunk the main German warship in the port. inside."

Recently, Roosevelt seems to be a little too eager for quick success, and his mind is full of wild ideas. For example, he was going to bomb Moscow at the beginning. Fortunately, he was good at it and finally changed it to interception on the route.

Now, the facts have proved that they have fallen into a trap. The Germans have long been aware of their own actions, and they have been attacked by sneak attacks. If they go to bomb Moscow, I don’t know how much they will lose their precious strategic bombers!

Now, Roosevelt did not learn his lesson and went to attack the German naval base!

Will this work?

Germany attacked Scapa Flow because it was isolated and helpless, far away from the British mainland, surrounded by water on three sides, and its geographical location determined that it was easy to be attacked.

However, the German bases are different. The German naval bases are mainly located in the north of Germany and the coast of the North Sea. Since the United Kingdom, Denmark and other countries have been conquered by Germany, this is considered the depth of the territory. Flying all the way from Greenland, it must have been spotted from afar.

Along the way, Germany had enough to deploy six or seven lines of interception to inflict heavy losses on the American bomber force.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you fly to the German naval base, what can you do? You may not be able to find the German warships. Now, the vicinity of the German port is tightly sealed, and you have no idea how many ships are parked inside. I don't know if there is an aircraft carrier, unless an aerial reconnaissance is dispatched.

But as long as it is dispatched, it will definitely startle the snake.

Where can the classic German tactics be easily copied!

Nimitz frowned and explained the various problems to Roosevelt. Fortunately, Roosevelt frowned and listened.

"Yes, it seems that we must be cautious." Roosevelt said: "Then the navy has to demonstrate how likely it is to attack German bases. When necessary, we cannot fear sacrifice, just like when Doolittle went to Like the surprise attack on Tokyo, if our operation is successful, it will greatly boost our morale."

Roosevelt looked at it from a political point of view. After Germany conquered the Soviet Union, I am afraid that there is also an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment in the United States. Once everyone thinks that it is impossible to win, it is very likely that it will really lose.

A victory must be used to boost people's self-confidence!

"Mr. President, I still have a good idea." Nimitz's brain has long been brewing a plan: "We imported technology from the Soviet Union to develop an inter-generational bomb, although it cannot be used in battle with the Germans, It's only for deterrence, but it should be fine for the island country, Midway Island, which we were invaded by, right? After solving the island country's problem, we can deal with Germany with all our strength."

Everyone opened their mouths wide, with incredible eyes.

...

The meeting went on for several hours, various courses of action were determined, and when everyone else was gone, Roosevelt again left Marshall and Groves behind.

"Mr. President, our Manhattan project has been restarted." Groves said: "Those Russians are now fully committed to their work, and they are working hard to build our nuclear bomb as soon as possible."

Roosevelt nodded: "We are running out of time. Now, I look forward to our nuclear bomb every day. Once the Germans build it first, then we will completely lose hope of victory."

If there is a nuclear bomb, the German thermobaric bomb will definitely be thrown down without any scruples. Now it is just a new balance. The United States does not use it, nor does Germany use it, just like the previous poison gas bombs.

But a nuclear bomb would upset that balance.

"In addition to nuclear bombs, we have to develop rockets." Roosevelt said: "The Germans paraded in Moscow and showed their latest missiles, which can hit us halfway across the world, and we have to have the same weapons. Row."

Roosevelt already had a hunch that if this ballistic missile was equipped with a nuclear warhead, or a thermobaric warhead, it would definitely be a disaster, because this thing could not be intercepted at all!

Originally, Robert Goddard could be the leader of American rockets. Unfortunately, he was taken away by the Germans more than ten years ago. At that time, the Germans began to develop rockets, but they knew nothing about it. !

Unfortunately, the United States has no experts in this area.

In later generations, American rocket technology started from the German V-2 missile. It is ironic that Braun, a scientist who has worked for Germany for more than ten years, has transformed himself into the father of American rockets. .

"We lack experts in this area, but we have already heard that the Soviets have experts in this area, and they are also working on rocket development in secret, and two of them, named Korolev and Glushko, are The leader in rockets and engines." Marshall said: "If we can get them here, we can put up this stall."

Although a large number of Soviet scientists have been invited to the United States for inspection, the prisoners in the prison are not counted. Now, both of them are still working in the No. 4 prison in Siberia.

Roosevelt rolled his eyes: "Well, we can find a way to get them here! Stalin needs our support even more now, and the Soviets don't have the ability to do scientific research now, only we can do this kind of thing. come out!"
