Can it be blocked? This is really a problem. None of the veterans present dared to pat their chests and say that they could defend Greenland.

Greenland is the largest island in the world with an area of ​​2166,086 square kilometers. It is 2,574 kilometers away from Pilidi in the north to Cape Fawell at the southern end, and the widest is about 1,290 kilometers. The coastline is more than 35,000 kilometers long.

If the geographical location is right, it is definitely a place with a large population, but in fact, it only has tens of thousands of people settled. The island is severely cold all year round, which is a typical cold climate. The temperature in coastal areas can reach above zero degrees in summer, while the inland parts are frozen all year round.

In such a place, it is impossible to arrange too many troops, and the supply will cause people to collapse.

Since it is impossible to deploy too many troops, once the Germans attack, as long as the Germans spare no expense, they will definitely be able to conquer them.

Greenland cannot be defended.

Arnold's plan, by now, is already very obvious.

Let the Germans attack Greenland first. Under the powerful attack of the Germans, Greenland was captured and the subsequent troops went up. In this way, the Germans' main fleet should retreat.

When they attack, their vigilance is definitely the highest, and sneak attacks are almost impossible, but it is different when they retreat. As long as they are careless, their bomber troops will achieve results!

Using Greenland at the cost of exchange for a destructive blow to the German fleet is like the Battle of Midway, losing the island and destroying the fleet. Is this transaction worth it?

The people present fell into deep thought again.

Greenland is of great importance, and it is impossible for German troops to station on a large scale, and it is also a springboard. For example, taking off fighter jets from Greenland's air force base can easily support their battles across the sea to land in Canada. This is the benefit of the springboard.

However, the problem is also very obvious now. As long as the Germans spare no expense, Greenland cannot be defended, at best, more people will die.

Many people die in Germany, and many people in the United States die in the United States. This is mutual.

Arnold has another view, aiming to attack the opponent's fleet, after the opponent successfully lands, especially after occupying the island's aviation base, he will definitely relax, and then it will be an opportunity.

Now, how to choose?

Roosevelt dared not make a choice directly. It was too much of a deal and had to consider whether to give up Greenland after making a major sacrifice, or give up on his own initiative, and then sneak attack on their fleet?

Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, Arnold spoke again: "Autumn has arrived, and winter will soon be. In addition to the natives of Greenland, our defenders are also suffering."

Arnold's words finally made Roosevelt make up his mind.

Yes, Greenland is a springboard, but it is a springboard for cold weather. In summer, the temperature is only above zero in the south. Now in autumn, the temperature has reached below zero.

If you don’t have experience in operating in cold areas, it’s useless to have Greenland. Although there are winters in Europe, there are warm currents from the North Atlantic Ocean, making the winters of the whole Europe warm, absolutely not like Greenland under the influence of the Arctic cold wind.

If the Germans occupied Greenland, they would have to hide in the fortifications and shivered in the winter that followed. Their guns would freeze and their planes would not be able to start. In this way, the existence of Greenland would have almost no meaning. With this winter, our side would have obtained a valuable buffer period.

The Germans are not that scary either.

On the contrary, if the sneak attack is successful, the gains will be even more.

The question Roosevelt has always considered is how to destroy the German navy. Now, it is time to seize this opportunity.

"Well, in this case, we can consider giving up Greenland after giving the Germans a painful lesson, and at the same time, making attacks on the German Navy the main mission target." Roosevelt said: "Transfer our main fighter jets to Canada, take off from the eastern Canadian base, and support the battle in Greenland. Even if we are forced to retreat in the end, we must let the Germans know our determination to defend our territory."

Roosevelt's words were considered to be agree with Arnold's proposal, which was actually quite infuriating. Although he knew the Germans' offensive target, he was powerless and had to continue to lose his territory.

Greenland is just a barren land. Although it is a springboard, it is just a useless springboard. In this winter, the Germans cannot use Greenland.

I would like to think about how to expand our fleet. I don’t know if the ice aircraft carrier can overcome technical problems and enter active service as soon as possible.

Roosevelt turned the wheels of his wheelchair and came outside the window. At this time, the sunset was slowly falling, and there was a special beauty. The land of America would soon enter darkness again.

On the other side of the ocean, Wolf Valley No. 2.

"Our intelligence system discovered that Americans were manufacturing ice aircraft carriers on a lake in Canada." Reinhardt came to report to Cialick with the information he had just obtained.

During this period, Reinhardt focused all his attention on the United States. Since he had been making arrangements for more than ten years in the early stage, the efficiency of reaping information is now very high.

The intelligence obtained by the Americans is just a few words and it feels like they have gained a treasure, but Germany is different. The specific content of the information was intercepted, a 2 million-ton ice aircraft carrier?

With this information, Cialek just glanced a few times and put it aside: "Not to be afraid."

Historically, the British and Americans have indeed tinkered with this thing, but there were too many technical problems and it ended up in the end. Moreover, 2 million tons, what size engine is that?

Americans are desperate, but unfortunately, they still haven't found the right direction. Isn't it better to build aircraft carriers in Canadian shipyards? Why do you have to engage in such an alien?

Cialek is not worried.

Even if the Americans finally make it work, there is no need to be afraid. The era of propeller aircraft is about to pass, and the future will be the era of jets. Take off and land jets on ice aircraft carriers? How stupid are you to think of it?

"The second piece of intelligence is that the island countries are planning to use high-altitude balloons to attack the United States." Reinhardt continued.

High-altitude balloon? This news attracted Reinhardt's attention. Well, it seems that the islanders are not that stupid, and they actually thought of this method in advance.

Americans will definitely close the news, making the islanders think that their tactics are ineffective, and they can just make some news.

"Find an opportunity to report on our European newspapers, especially the results of the battle, and summarize them once a day." Cialek said with a smile.
