Chapter 1778 Steal the Plane

I have to send the Secretary of State to Canada again to discuss with those scumbags and apply some pressure. With the German occupation of Greenland, the whole of Canada is within the bombing range of the Germans, especially Baffin Island, and Gotthob. It is almost across the strait. If there is a super cannon on the opposite side, it can come directly.

In this case, Canada has to act fast!

After negotiating this matter, there are still many things that need to be resolved.

"This time, the success was close to success, mainly because the Germans invested in the jet unit." Arnold analyzed the battle process sorted out ahead. At the most critical time, the Germans invested in the most correct reserve team, which was still a terrible jet. The reserve team, this is the key. Without this jet force, our own bombers would definitely be able to successfully complete the bombing mission. In the end, this sneak attack with heavy losses did not achieve results, all because of the jet force!

That terrifying speed, terrifying climb, terrifying interception of rockets, is simply a nemesis tailored for the bomber force.

"What about our jets? How far is the research?" Roosevelt asked Hoover.

Hearing Roosevelt's question, Hoover's head was full of confusion: "Mr. President, we have found Dr. Hein-Constant, with him as the core, we have established a jet design unit, and now, they are covering the stars and the moon, fighting for Early completion of the design of the first jet."

"How long will it take?" Roosevelt asked. "Will it be in shape next month?"

Roosevelt was also in a hurry. Every time, the Germans crossed the times. They had just caught up in the propeller planes, and the Germans were actually jets.

If you can't catch up, your side will still be suppressed and beaten. Without air dominance, nothing will happen.

Hearing Roosevelt's question, Hoover smiled bitterly: "Mr. President, that's a jet we don't have any technical reserves! It's not a truck, we don't even have an engine. Under the auspices of Dr. Hein-Constant, it may take a year or two to complete the development, and as for the whole machine, it will probably take three to five years.”

Three to five years? At that time, I am afraid that America will be gone! Roosevelt immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not."

America can't wait that long.

In fact, three to five years, this is still a conservative estimate. How many years has Germany used it?

When the BF109 came out, Dr. Messerschmitt took a large number of experts to start the research and development of the jet, and Junkers and BMW also started the long engine development process. It took seven or eight years, together with British technical experts, to be considered to have matured the jet.

Historically, the United States does not have the technical reserves of jets, and they are all taken directly from the United Kingdom, such as engines. If the Americans develop their own, they don’t know how long it will take.

This is the background of the old country. In later generations, even if the United Kingdom has declined, the Spey aircraft engine, the naval gas turbine, the NATO standard 105 tank gun, etc. are all developed by the United Kingdom.

Americans have no technology and are starting from scratch.

But not without jets.

Arnold frowned and thought about it seriously. According to the report, the other party can fly at will at an altitude of 14,000 or 5000 meters, and has a terrible speed. Some technologies, experts, are too long to work out, so there is only one shortcut.

"I suggest, Mr. President, that we steal a German jet," Arnold said.

What should we do if we cannot create it in a short period of time and we need it especially?

Of course it was stolen! Steal it and copy it.

Historically, the Soviet Union was greedy for the American B-29, and if it refused to come, it simply seized the one that was forced to land on its own continent, copied it directly, and quickly fiddled with it.

steal?

Hearing Arnold's proposal, Donovan couldn't help but snort: "What a joke, how could we steal their most advanced aircraft under the eyes of the Gestapo!"

The Germans had a powerful intelligence system, and the Gestapo were all-pervasive. Many agents were caught out and died miserably. Hoover didn't have that ability.

Arnold gave an opinion. This is very light, and it is enough to make a move, but in actual action, the intelligence personnel are required to take great risks, which is almost an impossible task.

Hearing Donovan say this, Hoover immediately showed indifference: "This is the responsibility of the Strategic Intelligence Agency. As the director, I don't even have this responsibility, why don't we change it?"

Donovan is external, Hoover is internal, the relationship between the two has long been at odds, and now, hearing Donovan retreat, Hoover can't help but start mocking him.

Hearing Hoover's sarcasm, Donovan suddenly changed his face and wanted to argue with him.

"Enough." Roosevelt interrupted the possible quarrel between the two and said to Arnold: "Arnold, you continue."

Originally, the U.S. intelligence system was decentralized. In order to better carry out intelligence work, a unified Strategic Intelligence Agency was established. In fact, Roosevelt’s cunning and cunning did not want the intelligence system to be mastered by one person, while Hoover and Arnold The open and secret struggle between them made Roosevelt even more at ease.

And now, while expressing his dissatisfaction, Roosevelt asked Arnold, he knew, Arnold must have a better idea.

Sure enough, Arnold said: "If it is in Europe, we certainly have no chance. However, if the Germans want to attack us, they must gradually establish forward bases. They have deployed jets to Iceland. I think, Soon, they will be deployed to Greenland, and in these newly occupied areas, the effect of their Gestapo activities is greatly reduced, and this is our opportunity."

Arnold's words made the eyes of the people present shine brightly. Even Donovan knew that this proposal must be successful. For example, Greenland has developed a lot of eyeliners on the island, and has also deployed certain intelligence officer.

So, there is one last question left.

Even with access to the plane, who could steal it back? You must know that it is impossible for ordinary people to fly a plane, especially a jet, it must be a dedicated pilot!

It's not that easy. Among the agents, very few can fly a plane. If one is not careful, even if it is stolen, it may be broken when landing.
