Chapter 1557 The New Manhattan Project

On the one hand, he planned to arrange his position, just like his years of experience in the past, but on the other hand, he planned to use new ways to solve the problem by relying on air force. Now, Eisenhower's words make everyone present feel lost.

When the Germans fought, they always led the trend of the entire era. Although the failure of Britain and France was due to various political factors, in military terms, the Germans dominated military technology and promoted military reforms. On the other hand, the French defended the Maginot Line and suffered a complete defeat in front of the Germans' blitzkrieg.

If the Germans attacked the United States, they would definitely adopt this new tactic. If they only defended their territory in the past, they would definitely die miserably.

The solution proposed by Eisenhower is a low-cost and high-efficiency solution.

The American people have been carrying out extensive flight activities for a long time. There are a large number of pilots and various flight clubs among the people. This method of the Americans is to hide soldiers from the people.

Just like the United States cannot resist guns, it appears to be a symbol of freedom and democracy, but in fact, it is to prepare for war. Once it really develops into the war of destruction, every American people will be a warrior and can fight by raising the gun, while other countries need training.

This will undoubtedly allow them to have strong counterattack ability when necessary.

The same is true for aviation.

In this era, the cost of building fighter jets was very low. Building a fighter jet was similar to building a tank, so the aircraft of various countries were often tens of thousands, as dense as locusts.

It was not the case in later generations. Aircraft are high-tech products, with low output and high cost. Moreover, a large amount of capital will be consumed if it rises and falls. Even a strong country will maintain a scale of thousands, while a small country will only have hundreds.

Using planes to resist enemy invasion is the best way.

When the German fleet arrives, they will face attacks from tens of thousands of American fighter jets. Even if the Germans have a huge aircraft carrier formation, it will not be comparable to the aviation power on land.

Imagine the scene where your fighter planes are everywhere to fight against the enemy fleet, and Roosevelt actually smiles.

During this period, the haze has been shrouding Roosevelt. The Soviets don’t know how long they can last or how much German force can be consumed. When the Germans turn around and attack the United States, they will have a great deterrent effect on the United States. In short, the United States will usher in a terrible war for the first time.

Many times, Roosevelt couldn't sleep. Thinking that the United States was about to face the overwhelming fleet of Germans, he felt anxious from his heart. Today, this was the first time he was a little calmer.

If you compete in aviation, you may be able to compete with them. This is the only chance for the United States to defeat the Germans!

"Let our General Staff make a more argument," said Roosevelt. "I personally think it should be better to use the power of the Air Force."

After saying that, Roosevelt said, "Marshall and Groves, you stay, everyone else can go."

Roosevelt's words did not arouse any doubts. Since Marshall's plan was denied, Roosevelt always wanted to comfort Marshall. Groves, the deputy secretary of the American construction department, was the large-scale buildings of the Atlantic Defense Line, and he was the pipeline.

But the two of them understood it, of course it had nothing to do with this matter.

When everyone left, Roosevelt said slowly: "How is our project going?"

Hearing Roosevelt's words, Groves said: "Our project is progressing slowly. After losing a large number of scientists, we have gathered a small number of experts again. So far, the design of the nuclear reactor has not been completed."

Groves was anxious.

He is the head of Manhattan Engineering.

At that time, for some reason, the Germans actually knew about the Oak Ridge Base and carried out a terrible bombing, almost cleaning up all American experts in nuclear physics. Even those who were not in the Oak Ridge Base were assassinated.

The Manhattan project suffered a terrible blow and was almost stopped, but Roosevelt, who was determined to continue to advance.

The Germans did not hesitate to dispatch long-range bombers to destroy their Oak Ridge base and assassinate nuclear physicists, which shows that the Germans were afraid that the terrible weapon that could destroy the entire city could be made.

Therefore, under the promotion of Roosevelt, Groves continued to preside over the Manhattan project, with the location more secret and fewer people knowing about it. Moreover, the local meteorological conditions determined that it was not suitable for air strikes at all, and it was fog all year round.

However, now it seems that the progress is not fast.

"We can already confirm that German submarines that appear in the Arctic Ocean must be nuclear-powered. They have unlimited endurance and can hide in the ice for a long time. We can even guess that they have not gone anywhere else, just cross the sea water below the Arctic, and go directly to the Bering Sea from the German port." Marshall also said: "The Germans have overcome many technical difficulties, and in this regard, we are far behind."

The United States is behind, and the backward United States means that the Germans will be left far behind. Once the Germans detonate the nuclear bomb, the United States has no other choice but to surrender obediently.

Unlike cloud bombs, cloud bombs can blow up a city, but they have to drop hundreds of them at the same time. This kind of terrible nuclear bomb can only be thrown by one bomber.

We are far behind because the main nuclear physics scientists have been killed.

The dark clouds reappeared on Roosevelt's brow. He silently lit the smoke pot and smoked, and the conference room was filled with smoke again.

When the smoke pot went out, Roosevelt finally made up his mind: "Since we can't do it ourselves, we might as well invite more scientists."

After hearing Roosevelt's words, the two people present looked embarrassed. In order to regroup the team, they even brought the students who had heard the Fermi report once to make up the numbers. Where can I find scientists in nuclear physics? From the Germans?

"Follow the Soviet Union." Roosevelt said: "I don't believe that there are no nuclear physics experts in the Soviet Union."

When they heard Roosevelt's words, the two were even more shocked. What's wrong with the president? Is his brain short-circuited?

The Manhattan Project is a project that requires extreme confidentiality. The fewer people know, the better. Now, do the Soviets join in?
