Chapter 1709： Reliable information

Balloons are very easy to deal with. Just shoot a few shots at it with a fighter jet, and a few bullets can be solved. If you have to say a problem, how to find it, after all, this thing is at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

In short, since the existence of this weapon has been discovered, a solution to it will definitely be found. Roosevelt does not need to give instructions on any details, just mention the macro treatment.

To appease one's own emotions, not to cause panic, and at the same time to deceive the islanders and make them think that these balloons are of no use. This is Roosevelt's countermeasure.

Some small balloons are not worth worrying too much about Roosevelt. For Roosevelt, the most important thing is still the duel with Germany. Solving the Midway Island will solve the trouble on the back and concentrate on dealing with the Germans!

"Our intelligence system has observed that the Germans are planning a major military operation recently. The operation code is called Operation Ice." Donovan said to Roosevelt.

"Is the information true?" Roosevelt asked with deep meaning.

Donovan is in charge of all military intelligence. Every time he thinks he has found exactly what he needs. As a result, he was brought into the ditch by the Germans and fought against the young fellow Reinhardt, Donovan. Always suffer.

Now, the President asked suspiciously, making Donovan's face blush in an instant: "Mr. President, if the intelligence is still wrong this time, then transfer me away and send me to the battlefield."

Can't always be fooled, right? Donovan is already very careful. If the intelligence is wrong again this time, then he should just go to the front line as a death squad, and there is no need to engage in intelligence.

"You know it," Roosevelt said, "Let's talk about it."

"The following is our guess." Donovan continued.

"Wait, what about your intelligence?" Roosevelt asked, just saying a few words. What follows is a guess?

"Our intelligence is Operation Ice." Donovan said: "So far, we can only determine the name of this intelligence."

After a long time, intelligence is Operation Ice? Roosevelt's brows frowned, and he knew himself and the enemy in order to win every battle. Although the old Roosevelt had not learned Sun Tzu's art of war, he knew the truth. Now his eyes were darkened and he knew nothing!

"Let's talk about it." After waiting for a few minutes, Roosevelt came over and said to Donovan.

"We think that the Germans are about to land on Greenland, and then use Greenland as a springboard to attack Canada. We must strengthen the defense of the north." Donovan said.

These inferences of Donovan can not be called inferences. These days, in the White House, research is being carried out every day. What is the strategic goal of the Germans?

After everyone's unanimous judgment, it is the most convenient and effective way to take Greenland.

Greenland, next to Iceland, the German plane took off from Iceland, and the warship departed from Iceland, just like walking around at your own door. Greenland is freezing cold and it is impossible to have too many soldiers stationed. If the Germans take off Offensive, Greenland can definitely be conquered.

In this way, with the springboard of Greenland, you can continue to fight Canada. After landing from Canada, the German army can stage a scene in Europe.

In the past, they just inferred that after the Germans occupied Iceland, the plan seemed to be getting closer and closer. Now Donovan has obtained the exact information called Operation Ice.

Where are the ice cubes? Of course it is Greenland! So, when he got the name, Donovan knew that the next step for the Germans was definitely to occupy Greenland.

The Germans traveled through Canada. In this way, even if the Atlantic defense line that has been so painstakingly laid out in the United States lost its function, everyone on the scene hated it: "Our Atlantic defense line!"

"Only relying on the line of defense is not going to work." Roosevelt was very open, expecting that project to block the Germans is simply whimsical. Just look at Europe.

Through that project, it is an important goal to have so many funds flow to where they are really needed.

"Now is a good opportunity." Arnold, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: "Didn't we always look forward to destroying the German Navy? Now, the opportunity to hit the German Navy harder has arrived!"

Greenland is not so easy to conquer. Iceland used to be caught off guard just because the United States did not notice. Now, it will definitely not make the mistakes it made before.

The United States also has experience. In the last naval battle on Midway, although Midway was eventually occupied by the island nation, it sank the island nation’s main fleet. When its own bomber formations appeared with special bombs, they were The strikes of the surface ships are quite effective.

The last tactics can be repeated this time!

The U.S. Navy suffered heavy losses, but the Army Aviation Corps has been expanding. Now that you know the Germans' next goal and prepare in advance, you can definitely achieve your goal.

"No, the Germans are very vigilant, their naval formations are also very strong, and they have enough land-based long-range fighters. If we dispatch the bombers directly, we will definitely lose a lot." At this moment, Marshall on the side proposed. Objections.

If the attack on the island country can be successful, it won’t work on Germany The two are not an order of magnitude at all. Before the American bombers flew, there must be a large number of German fighters to intercept them.

One cannot despise the enemy. This is a lesson in exchange for blood and life. Whoever despises the Germans will die miserably.

At the beginning, Nimitz proposed to deploy a large number of fighter planes in Greenland, and when the Germans came and attacked the Germans, what was the result? The German bombers came first and blew up the air force base in Greenland. It was freezing cold and has not been repaired until now. If you want support, you can only take off from a nearby Canadian base.

"Yes, even if we took off and bombed before the German navy arrived, we would fail because the other side was too vigilant." Arnold is good at summarizing. Some recent experiences have proved the vigilance of the Germans: " If we want to succeed in the attack, we can only wait for them to attack when they return to the voyage after they land on Greenland."

After landing, when these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. If the Germans were allowed to land on Greenland, would it be worth it? The whole of Greenland will become the territory of the Germans, and then use it as a springboard?

If Greenland is lost, then the continental United States will face a direct threat, the typical lip and teeth are cold.

Now, Arnold is saying that there is hope after giving up Greenland, which is unacceptable.

"No, absolutely not. In anti-landing operations, the enemy must be blocked on the beach. If the enemy lands, there is almost no hope of winning." Nimitz said.

This is the simplest reason. You can't even guard a beach. When the Germans' most elite infantry come up, you still expect to push the enemy back into the sea?

"Then can we stop it?" Arnold asked rhetorically. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
