Chapter 1662： Atlantic Line of Defense (seeking monthly pass)

"General Marshall, General Arnold, next we will focus on the Army and the Army Air Force in terms of resources. I only have one request, and that is to win the next war!" President Roosevelt said.

There is no doubt that the next war is a matter of life and death for the United States. The President of the United States will support the Army and the Army Air Force at all costs, and strive to improve their strength in a short period of time. In that case, Germany may be defeated in one fell swoop, thereby forcing Germany to accept their armistice conditions and strive for a decent peace.

As for completely defeating Germany in this war and winning the war, no one dares to think that way. Because that is simply unrealistic. The navy has suffered a complete defeat, and they have lost the ability to attack Germany on the other side of the Atlantic. Not to mention, Germany still has an absolute advantage in this war. It is very difficult to defeat Germany at home, let alone cross the Atlantic to fight on the European continent.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Both Admiral Marshall and Admiral Arnold replied.

Harold? Admiral Stark did not speak on the side. Although he knows that President Roosevelt may transfer many resources originally used for the navy to the army and the army air force in the future. However, he still had nothing to say. Who made the Navy lose so badly? What's more, judging from the current situation, the most important thing is to first support the Army and the Army Air Force, resist the German attack, and even defeat the Germans at home. Only by keeping the United States can the U.S. Navy have a chance to rise again.

After the meeting, Admiral Marshall and Admiral Arnold went straight to the General Staff and called together a group of senior generals from the Army and the Army Air Force to discuss countermeasures.

When the generals of the Army and Army Air Force learned that the navy had suffered a disastrous defeat and that the Germans might soon launch an attack on the continental United States, they were equally dumbfounded. Some people even showed panic in their eyes.

Although the U.S. Navy suffered a disastrous defeat before, it still exists after all. This made them not worried that the German army would launch an attack on the United States. But the situation is different now. After the Germans completely control the Atlantic Ocean, they may soon launch a landing operation on the mainland of the United States, which is undoubtedly a very terrible thing.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we must stop bombing Bermuda now. It is nothing more than a waste of our planes and pilots and crews! Now we need greater strength to defend our homeland, and this must end. Unnecessary waste,” said Lt. Gen. Delos Emmons, Army Air Corps Combat Component Commander.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff. The Army Air Corps suffered great losses in the battle against Bermuda. We can't let the troops go on in vain like this." Major General Barney Giles, Chief of Staff of the Army Air Corps also said Said.

Admiral Marshall nodded. He also believed that it was meaningless to bomb the Bermuda Islands now that the German Navy had won an absolute victory in the Atlantic naval battle. In that case, it will only further damage their strength.

"Then, from now on, let's stop bombing the Bermuda Islands. The Army Air Force will be fully prepared in the future. Once the German army launches a landing operation in North America, the Army Air Force will be our guarantee of air supremacy and the landing of the German army. The main force for the troops to launch an air strike!" Admiral Marshall said.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff." All the generals of the Army Air Corps replied.

In the bombing of Bermuda, the loss of the US Army Air Forces was too great. This is enough to make these generals of the Army Air Corps feel distressed. It is undoubtedly the best thing to be able to stop this kind of meaningless consumption.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, winter is coming soon. Judging from the current situation, the Germans should wait until spring before launching a landing. Well, now we still have a few months, enough to build an Atlantic defense line on the east coast , to prevent the Germans from attacking. Even, it can make the Germans smash their heads in front of our defense line!" General MacArthur said.

"I agree with General MacArthur's opinion. We now have an army of 5 million, and we are still recruiting further troops. We have also formed 18 armored divisions for the armored force. Next, we will form more armored forces. Therefore, we have enough strength to build the Atlantic line of defense. It is not so easy for the Germans to cross the Atlantic and land in North America. At that time, we can even gather superior forces to annihilate the German troops landing in North America and completely eliminate them from destroying the United States. The unrealistic idea of ​​​​the Republic." Major General Eisenhower also said.

Admiral Marshall nodded, the German army was very powerful and brought great pressure to them. But at the same time, they also have great confidence in the US Army. The current U.S. Army is equally powerful. With millions of troops and a huge number of armored forces, it is enough to be regarded as the second strongest army in the world after the German Army.

At the same time, they also have a geographical advantage. No matter how strong the German army is, it is very difficult to project its forces to the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean. This severely restricted the German Army's strength. In this case, it is not impossible for the US Army to defeat the German Army.

"During the War of Independence, the British Empire was also the most powerful country in the world. But after our hard work, we defeated the British and gained independence. Now, history is repeating itself again. We can also Defeat the Germans and win the war." Lieutenant General George Patton also said.

The generals of the U.S. Army gradually became full of confidence in future wars. Even though they know it, the enemy is strong. But they believe that if they do their best, they can also win. After all, the United States is not what it used to be. Huge armored force, various advanced equipment, plus the right time, place and people. The possibility of winning this battle is still very high.

"If everyone has no objections, then we will start to build the Atlantic line of defense. Let the British join in. They are responsible for the section in Canada, and we are responsible for the section in the United States. Now, it has come to a matter of our life and death. Time, Everyone must do their best!" Admiral Marshall said.
