Chapter 1091

In the office of the president of the White House in Washington, D.C., Roosevelt coughed and did not speak. His aides were reporting on the ongoing naval battles in the Pacific and Atlantic.

"On the Pacific battlefield, Japan put in suicide attack aircraft troops and launched a fierce battle with our warships in the sea area near the island of bismarcen. As of two hours ago, our army had already injured seven warships, and Japanese warships also suffered heavy losses. The specific combat situation is still further developing. " The assistant put the telegram on President Roosevelt's desk.

Recently, President Roosevelt has been questioned more and more, and many politicians have begun to open their views against Roosevelt's war policy. These people put forward a new plan that is more in line with the interests of the United States: to reach a peace agreement with the European Axis group, abandon the collapsed Britain, and make up for their lost interests in the Pacific battlefield.

Some Jews began to support this view, because a truly neutral Jewish state has been born in the Middle East. The country established with the support of Germany did not turn to the axis powers, but chose an independent development path.

This choice has left a very good impression on the Jews in the United States and other parts of the world. More and more people support Enrique, who is now the first president of the state of Israel, while Bowman, who has made a lot of promises among American Jews, has to face more and more pressure.

"Is there any news from general Nimitz that our fleet will annihilate the Japanese fleet in the sea area near the island of bismecon Roosevelt's recent health is not good, he coughed two times, and then asked just stopped assistant.

"After all, in the vast sea, it seems impossible to annihilate the cunning Japanese fleet. If there is no accident, this time we can hit the enemy hard and create a very good environment for the next attack on New Guinea. " The assistant told his president what a naval liaison officer had just told him. Now the fighting is still going on, and the most optimistic promise can only be said to this extent.

Sure enough, Roosevelt nodded. He was no longer interested in asking this question. He looked at the huge Pacific Ocean on the map and didn't know what he was thinking. Silence spreads in the president's office, with a suffocating sense of depression. Finally, Roosevelt himself broke the silence and continued to ask, "well, what's going on in the Atlantic?"

The assistant was obviously embarrassed to mention this. Because within the framework of Anglo American cooperation, Atlantic defense has always been entrusted to the Royal Navy. The main force of the US Navy has always been in the Pacific, which is also the fundamental reason why it can crush the Japanese Navy in quantity.

However, in the recent action concerning Italy, the United States forced Britain to take out its coffin book with coercion and inducement, and the two fleets jointly dispatched to escort the landing forces in an attempt to stab the Germans in Italy by sneak attack. However, this huge plan was doomed to be difficult to succeed, so the huge United British and American fleet was forced by the equally powerful German high seas fleet to travel around the South Atlantic.

The most direct consequence of this labor cost tourism is that Iceland's maritime defense force is empty, and a German sub fleet takes advantage of it. Under the cover of several cruisers, the German battleship field marshal Reidel shelled the empty Icelandic coastal facilities, which made the British King blush.

The shelling of Iceland sent too many messages to the top management of the United States and Britain, to the extent that Roosevelt was a little desperate. First of all, the German heavy warships have been dispatched intensively again, which indicates that the German Navy has solved its practical problem of oil shortage. Solving the problem of oil shortage means that the five aircraft carriers in German hands can be dispatched at any time to threaten the east coast of the United States.

At the same time, the fact that the battleships approached Iceland also showed that the German Navy psychologically got rid of the curse of being weak when meeting with Britain, and that the German Navy had all the conditions to take the initiative. This was also not good news for the Allied forces whose forces were scattered in the two oceans.

These signals are dangerous and terrible, because the Allied forces lack the fleet against the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean. Once Germany starts to attack and seek naval warfare, the American fleet in the Atlantic Ocean will be in danger.

"Mr. President, four hours ago, the German battleships that shelled Iceland had left. The British side was just mobilizing their main fleet to make operational arrangements to guard Iceland." The assistant answered President Roosevelt's question in a low voice, and even he could see that the Royal Navy was not strong enough.

If we put it in the previous era, any enemy warship that dares to challenge the authority of the Royal Navy will be encircled by the huge fleet deployed by the Royal Navy all over the world, and will pursue count Spey and the Bismarck in another time and space.

But now, the overall strength of the German high seas fleet has surpassed that of the main fleet of the Royal Navy. The huge aircraft carrier fleet can rely on more advanced carrier based aircraft and more perfect electronic equipment to sink the battleships that the British Empire is proud of. I don't know when it will start. The glorious tradition of the British Royal Navy, which "must fight when it meets the enemy", has become a "passive avoidance" that has been criticized by people. It can be said that in the so-called mood, the British navy has been defeated.

Although the old general Dudley pound still maintains the last trace of dignity of the Royal Navy; Although the huge British Royal Navy still has the capital to fight against the German Navy in quantity and training; Although this former empire has been occupied, and there are countless loyal people who believe that it can be reborn from Nirvana... But it does not have much capital, enough for its decision-makers to spend again“ If we can't bring out something to strengthen the strength of the British Icelandic base, Britain may be squeezed out of the war... "Roosevelt frowned and murmured his own ideas. He knew that the last chip to maintain the British resistance was the good strength of the Royal Navy. If the Royal Navy loses, then Britain is likely to collapse. Without Britain, the United States is likely to be forced to make peace with the third empire, and the bargaining chip for peace is the collapsing Middle East and the interests in the Atlantic. The United States will be forced to withdraw from the world hegemony arena and hand over the alliance established by itself to Germany. And in that state of forced peace, it was not only a British government in exile in Iceland that collapsed, but also Charles de Gaulle's French government in exile. As long as the United States lost the Atlantic Ocean, these exiled governments from Europe would be destroyed, and even a piece of waste paper would not be left“ While we still have overwhelming power in Congress, we should give Britain a few preferential policies, and then try to strengthen the fighting capacity of the Atlantic Fleet. " After thinking for a while, Roosevelt said, "call the arms dealers who support us and ask them to provide a support plan for the reconstruction of the Icelandic air force base." After that, he fixed his eyes on the location of Iceland on the map. At last, he didn't know whether he was persuading his assistant or himself, saying: "to strengthen this base and use bombers to destroy Norwegian iron ore at any cost is our only chance." Just when the president of the United States was worried in his office, on the bridge of the Royal ark of the Royal Navy, Dudley pound and his officers were carefully studying the route of the fleet of German warships“ There are so many routes available to the enemy that we have no way to track down their battleship Marshal Ryder A naval aviation officer with his hands behind his back said to his immediate superior, "they can go straight east to the Norwegian port, and they can enter the protection area of Norwegian land-based aviation only half the way." As he spoke, he pulled out his hand from behind and pointed to the relevant position on the map: "if they are heading southeast, they can enter the air defense area of the three British Islands... There is the North British air force of Chamberlain, and there are often me-109c fighters patrolling there. Of course, if they have enough fuel, they can go back to Port William directly. We can't catch up with them either. "“ The distance is too subtle. If their aircraft carrier fleet is within the operational radius of land-based aircraft, it can take off aircraft to cover this fleet. If we rashly attack, we will suffer losses. " The current situation of Dudley pound is that it is difficult for a typical cunning woman to make a meal without rice. Most of the sea areas nearby are within the operational radius of German land-based aircraft. It is really difficult for his Navy to make a difference“ We have to find a way to lure the German naval fleet to the east coast of the United States, so that we can encircle and annihilate it in the vast ocean. " The captain of the Royal ark stood beside Dudley pound and said, "it's too small a chance. The Germans will only be fooled if they are stupid." The officer in charge of the submarine unit of the Navy shook his head and denied the plan to lure the German Fleet: "even if we put out enough bait, it will only be the damned submarines under Donitz. The surface ships of the German navy are much more cautious than their submarine forces. They have not entered the middle of the North Atlantic so far. "“ It's still a matter of long-term consideration. " "What we need to do now is to prevent the German Navy from continuing to threaten Iceland," he said with a sigh. Other things, waiting for the news from the Americans. " For mobile users, please visit M
