Chapter 1677 God bless America 14)
Bombing Germany? Arnold was stunned. The president had made a request before, intending to bomb all the German coastal shipyards before the war began, weakening the German shipbuilding capabilities, so that he could provide more time to restore his naval strength.
However, bombing German shipyards is not easy, and the United States has no missiles. Now, is the president unable to wait?
Arnold understood the president's difficulties. Since he had no time to build more warships, he might as well level Germany's shipbuilding level to the same level as his own. This is possible.
"Mr. President, I'm frank," said Arnold. "Even if the Germans now think that we are fighting against the islanders and do not have the energy to take care of Europe, the Germans will not be careless. The Germans' local shipyards are already in the inland seas, and there are a large number of fighter jets, including the guards of night fighter jets. It may be difficult for us to attack the local shipyards in Germany. It is not that we don't have the courage, but that the cost is too high and we can't bear it."
The German fighter jets are quite terrible, especially the night fighter jets. If you go to bomb Midway Island at night, you will have a safe grasp of bombing the German mainland. You may have to prepare for the same ending as today. None of the bombers that went out came back.
"Yes, the Germans' air defense operations are too powerful." Roosevelt said: "Especially in Germany, we don't have that ability at all now, but we don't have to go to Germany to cause trouble. Now, the whole of Europe is serving Germany, and there are other places besides the German shipyards!"
Roosevelt said this well.
The entire Europe was integrated by Germany, among which the shipbuilding industries in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain are also fully engaged in operation, and even in the British shipyards, they are still building several attack aircraft carriers for Germany.
If you can't fight Germany, isn't that a piece of cake to fight these servants?
Hearing Roosevelt's words, Arnold nodded cautiously: "If we fly on the civil aviation route, intensify formations, and pretend to be civil aviation passenger planes, we may still be able to attack. Also, what bombs should we use?"
When he asked, Roosevelt's expression also made a serious look on his face. He looked at the blooming leaves on the big tree outside, looked at the vibrant garden, and said, "Use ordinary bombs."
To deal with island countries, they have decided to use temperature-pressure bombs. This is the easiest and most effective method. There is no need to make any sacrifices, just do it directly. Anyway, the islanders will not do the same. Even if they have bombs, they do not have corresponding bombers. In this regard, don’t point to Germany for help. Germany will not leak this kind of bomb technology.
However, it is impossible to deal with Germany. Although this kind of bomb is powerful, it has it in the United States and Germany. If the United States uses it, then Germany will definitely use it. In this way, just like the former chemical weapons and biological weapons, everyone has a tacit understanding and no one uses it. If it is used, it is definitely a double-edged sword, which is also hurting itself when it is hurting.
The Germans did this in Moscow. Out of retaliation against the Soviets, they blew up the outskirts of Moscow to flatland, killed, and burned hundreds of thousands of Moscow defenders, shocking everyone.
Roosevelt was not that 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 on the United States. Otherwise, the United States would have to use it without hesitation until both sides turned into scorched earth.
"I understand, if we do this, we can start bombing at the same time, bombing the United Kingdom, Spain and other countries. We use ordinary bombs to carry out during the day. On Midway, it happens to be night. We can use the latest bombs to smooth out Midway without leaving any life." Arnold said.
This is the only way. If you can't blow up Germany, you will first blow up other countries around you to see if they dare to continue building warships for Germany!
After accepting the mission, Arnold left the White House and just as he went out, he passed by several people.
"General, are you busy?" a man greeted him.
Arnold glanced and knew the famous journalist who had come from exile from Britain. His real identity was Jeffrey Parker, a senior intelligence officer at MI5.
The few people who were following him were no longer aware of him.
"Yes, are you going to report to the president? The president is idle now and has time," said Arnold.
"Yes, General, God will bless us, and we believe that justice will win." Jeffrey said, passing by him.
Justice will win? In this era, only fools believe this sentence!
With this idea, Arnold left, and Jeffrey, with the few people behind him, knocked on the president's door.
"Mr. President, I'm here this time, and I'm going to bring hope for victory," said Jeffrey. "We have found the right materials to overcome the lack of strength of the ice. It won't take long to get a strong fleet again."
Looking at Jeffrey, Roosevelt's eyes lit up: "Hurry, tell me."
This is one of the hopes of Roosevelt's victory.
If there is not enough naval, the United States can only defend the coast. Although the Atlantic defense line project is the top priority now, Roosevelt knows better than anyone else that it is quite stupid to rely on a fixed defense line to defend the enemy from the outside. The Maginot line is the best example, and only offense is the best defense.
If you can't defeat Germany on the ocean, you can only wait for death. All your efforts now are like dying struggles.
The Germans also knew this truth. The last time they used rockets to attack the US shipbuilding base, this was the idea that they destroyed the US shipbuilding industry, and the Germans succeeded.
The fleet that was finally restored disappeared in an instant, and in the words of later generations, it was called returning to before liberation.
Although shipbuilding bases along the Pacific coast are stepping up shipbuilding, it is far from enough to deal with Germany's huge fleet. At this moment, God finally gave Roosevelt a hope.
Jeffrey, the British, came up with a fantasy idea.
Build an aircraft carrier with ice.
This was definitely a whim. When Roosevelt heard this proposal, he also sneered.
Building a warship requires a large amount of steel, a large number of personnel, and countless man-hours. For example, it takes at least a year to build an attack aircraft carrier.
