Chapter 1710： Winter soon

Can you stop it? This is really a problem. None of the veterans present dare to pat their chests and say that they can hold Greenland.

Greenland is the largest island in the world with an area of ​​66086 square kilometers. The distance from Piridi in the north to Cape Fawell in the south is 2,574 kilometers, and the widest point 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 whole island is cold all year round, which is a typical cold zone climate. The summer temperature in coastal areas can reach above zero, and the inland parts are frozen all year round.

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

Since it is impossible to deploy too many troops, once the Germans come to attack, as long as the Germans do not hesitate to spend their money, they will definitely be able to defeat them.

Greenland can't hold it.

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

Let the Germans attack Greenland first. Under the strong German offensive, Greenland was captured and the follow-up troops went up. In this way, the German 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 own bomber forces will be able to achieve results!

Using Greenland as the price in exchange for a devastating blow to the German fleet is like the battle of Midway Island. Losing the island and destroying the fleet is worth it?

Those present were lost in thought again.

Greenland is of great importance. It is impossible for the German team to be stationed on a large scale. It is also a springboard. For example, taking off fighter planes from the Air Force base in Greenland can easily support their cross-sea landing in Canada. This is the advantage of the springboard.

However, the problem now is also obvious. As long as the Germans do not hesitate to pay, Greenland will not be able to defend it. At best, more people will die.

There are too many deaths in Germany, and so many deaths in the United States. This is mutual.

Arnold takes another view. It is aimed at attacking the opponent's fleet. After the opponent has successfully landed, especially after occupying the aviation base on the island, he will definitely relax. Then it will be an opportunity.

Now, how to choose?

Roosevelt did not dare to make a direct choice. The relationship was too great. He had to consider whether he would abandon Greenland after making a major sacrifice, or would he give up and attack their fleet?

Time passed a little bit, and half an hour later, Arnold spoke again: "Autumn has arrived, and winter will soon be. In addition to the indigenous people of Greenland, our defenders also suffer a lot."

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

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

If there is no operating experience in the cold region, Greenland is useless. Although Europe also has winter, there is the warm current of the North Atlantic, which makes the winter in Europe warm, absolutely unlike the cold Arctic wind. Greenland.

If the Germans occupied Greenland, they would have to hide in the fortifications and shiver in the winter that followed. Their guns would freeze and their planes would not be able to start. In this way, there would be almost no existence of Greenland. It's too meaningful, and with this winter, we have gained a precious buffer period.

The Germans are not so scary.

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

The question Roosevelt had always considered was how to destroy the German navy. Now, this opportunity should be grasped.

"Well, in this case, we can consider giving up Greenland after giving the Germans a bitter lesson, and at the same time, making the attack on the German navy our main mission." Roosevelt said: "Transfer our main fighter to Canada. Taking off from a base in eastern Canada to 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 in the United States."

Roosevelt’s remarks agreed with Arnold’s proposal, which was actually quite irritating. Although he knew the German's offensive target, he was powerless and would continue to lose his country.

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

Still think about how to expand our own fleet, that ice aircraft carrier, I wonder if it can overcome technical problems and enter active service as soon as possible.

Roosevelt turned the wheel of his wheelchair and came out of the window. At this time, the setting sun was slowly setting down. There was an exceptional beauty. The American land would soon enter the darkness again.

Across the ocean, Wolf Valley No. 2.

"Our intelligence system has discovered that Americans are building ice aircraft carriers on a lake in Canada." Reinhardt took the information he had just received and reported to Cyric .

During this period of time, Reinhardt put all his attention on the United States. Since the early deployment has been carried out for more than ten years, the efficiency of collecting intelligence is now very high.

The intelligence that the Americans obtained is just a few words, and it is like a treasure, but Germany is different, intercepting the specific content of the intelligence, 2 million tons of ice aircraft carrier?

With this information, Cyric just glanced at it and put it aside: "Not to be afraid."

In history, the British and Americans have indeed fiddled with this stuff, but there are too many technical problems, and they will not be solved in the end. Moreover, 2 million tons, how big an engine?

The Americans are jumping the wall in a hurry, but unfortunately, they still haven't found the right direction. Wouldn't it be better to build an aircraft carrier in a Canadian shipyard? Why do we have to engage in such an alien?

Cyric was not worried.

Even if the Americans finally made it up, don’t be afraid. The era of propeller planes is about to pass, and the future will be the era of jets. Jets taking off and landing on ice carriers? How can I figure it out?

"In the second piece of information, the island nations are planning to use high-altitude balloons to strike against the United States." Reinhardt continued.

High-altitude balloon? This news attracted Reinhardt's attention. Well, it seems that the islanders weren't that stupid yet, they thought of this way in advance.

The Americans will definitely close the news, making the islanders think that their tactics are ineffective, and their own side, just poke some news.

"Look for an opportunity to let our European newspapers report, especially the results of the battle, sum up once a day." Cyric said with a smile. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
