Chapter 1679 God Bless America (Plus 14)
Bomb Germany? Arnold was stunned. The president had made a request before. He planned to blow up the German coastal shipyards and weaken the German shipbuilding ability before the war started, so as to provide himself with more time and restore the navy. strength.
However, bombing German shipyards is not easy, and the United States has no missiles. Now, is the president impatient?
Arnold understands the president's difficulties. Since it is too late to build more warships, he can simply level the German shipbuilding level to the same level as his own. This can be done.
"Mr. President, I am blunt." Arnold said: "Even if the Germans feel that we are fighting against the islanders and have no energy to take into account Europe, the Germans will not be paralyzed. The German shipyards are already in the In the inland waters, there are also a large number of fighter jets, including the guards of night fighter jets. If we want to attack the shipyard in Germany, it may be difficult. It is not that we have no courage, but the price is too high and we cannot bear it.
The German fighter jets are quite terrifying, especially the night fighter jets. If we go to bomb a Midway Island at night, we still have a safe grasp. If we go to bomb the German mainland, I am afraid we have to prepare for the same outcome as today. The bombers that go out, a Neither came back.
"Yeah, the Germans' air defense is too powerful." Roosevelt said: "Especially in Germany, now we don't have that capability at all, but we don't have to go to Germany to find trouble. Now, the whole of Europe is In working for Germany, there are other places besides German shipyards!"
Roosevelt said it well.
The whole of Europe has been integrated by Germany. Among them, the shipbuilding industry in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain is also in full swing. Even in the British shipyard, several attack aircraft carriers are still being built for Germany.
It is not a piece of cake to fight against the German mainland and these servant countries?
Hearing Roosevelt's words, Arnold nodded cautiously: "If we fly on a civil aviation route, form a dense formation, and pretend to be a civil airliner, we may still be able to sneak attack. Also, what bombs do we use?"
When he asked this, Roosevelt also had a serious expression on his face. He looked at the blooming leaves on the big trees outside, and looked at the garden full of vitality, and said, "Use ordinary bombs."
To deal with island countries, they have already decided to use thermobaric bombs. This is the easiest and most effective method. You don't need to make any sacrifices, just do it directly. Anyway, the island people will not do the same, even if they have bombs, there is no corresponding In this regard, don't point to Germany for help, Germany will not leak this bomb technology.
However, it is impossible to deal with Germany. Although this kind of bomb is powerful, the United States has it, and Germany also has it. If the United States uses it, then Germany will definitely use it. In this way, just like the chemical weapons and biological weapons in the past, everyone If you have a tacit understanding, no one needs to use it. If you use it, it is definitely a double-edged sword. When you deal with harm, you are also hurting yourself.
That's what the Germans did in Moscow. In retaliation for the Soviets' use of such bombs, they blew the suburbs of Moscow to the ground, killing and burning hundreds of thousands of Moscow defenders, shocking everyone.
Roosevelt was not so stupid and took the initiative to use this weapon. He only hoped that the Germans would abide by this unwritten agreement and not use it against the United States. Otherwise, the United States could only use it without hesitation until both sides became scorched earth.
"Understood, in this case, we can start bombing at the same time, the bombing of Britain, Spain and other countries, we use ordinary bombs, during the day, on Midway, it happens to be night, we can use the latest bombs, all Midway Smooth it out, leaving no life behind," Arnold said.
It can only be like this. If Germany cannot be bombed, first bomb other surrounding countries and see if they dare to continue to build warships for Germany!
After accepting the assignment, Arnold left the White House, passing several people as he went out.
"General, are you busy?" a man greeted him.
Arnold glanced at him, and he knew that the well-known journalist who had come from exile in the United Kingdom was a senior intelligence officer of MI5, Jeffrey Pike.
Behind him, the few people who were still following him didn't know each other.
"Yes, do you want to report to the president? The president is idle now and has time," Arnold said.
"Yes, General, God will bless us, and we believe that justice will prevail," Jeffrey said, brushing past him.
Justice must prevail? In this era, only a fool would believe this sentence!
With this thought in mind, Arnold left, and Jeffrey knocked on the president's door with a few people behind him.
"Mr. President, I'm here this time with hope of victory," Jeffrey said. "We've found the right material, a way to overcome the lack of strength of ice cubes, and it won't be long before we have the power again. A mighty fleet."
Looking at Jeffrey, Roosevelt's eyes lit up: "Quick, talk about it."
This was one of Roosevelt's hopes of victory.
If there is not enough navy, then the United States can only defend on the coast. Although the Atlantic Defense Line project is the top priority, Roosevelt knows better than anyone that relying on a fixed line of defense to defend against the enemy is quite Stupid, Maginot line is the best example, only offense is the best defense.
If you can't defeat Germany on the ocean, you can only wait to die. All efforts now are like dying.
The Germans also know this truth. The last time they used rockets to attack the US shipbuilding base, this was the idea to destroy the US shipbuilding industry, and the Germans succeeded.
The fleet that was about to be restored with great difficulty dissipated at once. In the words of later generations, it was called a return to before liberation.
Although the shipbuilding bases on the Pacific coast are stepping up shipbuilding, it is far from enough to deal with the huge German fleet. At this moment, finally, God gave Roosevelt a hope.
Geoffrey, the Englishman, came up with an idea of the Arabian Nights.
Build an aircraft carrier out of ice.
This is absolutely whimsical, and when Roosevelt first heard the proposal, he sneered.
Building a warship requires a lot of steel, a lot of personnel, and countless man-hours. For example, it takes at least a year to build an attack aircraft carrier.
But if it's made from ice, it's easy.
