"Can it be understood as a necessary wartime control measure, like the food rationing system?"

"You can think of it that way, or you can normalize it, and in the end it's a matter of adaptability, which is not a big deal for more than 90 percent of the people, and for the other 10 percent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Edgar Hoover made a decision with great confidence, "Who minds what they think?" And even if they were, most of them would change after witnessing reality, and at the end of the day - bread, work, safety, and order trumped the importance of other illusory things. ”

Roosevelt shuddered at the word "reality" as he accentuated the word: concentration camps, secret police, censorship of communications and the press, loyalty regulations......

"How many resources will be needed to get there?"

"An additional 150,000-200,000 federal employees are needed, more than 90 percent of which must be Anglo-Saxon, and the rest of the informants, agents, and press censors can be held by other ethnic groups, and an additional $5-1 billion budget is needed." Hoover seemed confident, "but not through open channels, otherwise it would cause an uproar in Congress, and some regulations would not be promoted in the form of legislation, and it would be more decent to enforce administrative regulations." All in all, this is a national policy that is difficult to put into words, but actions speak far more than words. ”

Roosevelt was silent: Pandora's box was easy to open, but it would be troublesome to take it back, and he didn't know whether he should start this way, whether he should make such a determination when the election was more than a year away.

"What if someone accuses the government of abuse of power or something else?"

"It's very simple......," Hoover had already countered, "if this is just a bad-brained and overly naïve figure, we will 'educate' him in appropriate ways; if it is a dissident with ulterior motives who is trying to attack us politically, it is obviously a traitor or a traitor, and he can be dealt with on various terms; if it is a big man who is unhappy with this, it must be that some interests have been harmed, and we can adjust and compensate for it--for the capitalists, There is no difference between earning $1 from here and earning $1 there; For politicians, there is nothing that cannot be traded and coordinated. ”

"If ......," Hoover lowered his voice, "there are still people who are not interested, and we have a way to clean him up, economic, political, legal, administrative, public opinion, and even ......"

"Even" Later, Hoover quietly made a throat-slitting motion with his hand, and the subtext was self-evident.

Roosevelt hesitated to feel a cold air rise up his back, but soon the scales of faith wavered: Admiral King called to inform him that the Axis land, sea, and air clusters were attacking Madagascar.

"Can they fly? Didn't the enemy fleet that took part in the Panamanian campaign just return to the Azores? Roosevelt was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his chair.

"It's another group of troops, which has that Japanese super battleship, 3 Veneto-class battleships of the Italian Navy, and the German Gneisenau - who knows when this guy slipped into the Mediterranean, and they launched a heavy artillery bombardment of the landing site, and the British did not have many planes deployed on the island, so they did not pose a real threat at all, and the enemy also had aircraft carriers, and they took the lead in bombing airfields, ports, and air defense positions." Admiral King's tone was very sad, "The enemy has slightly fewer planes than us, but it is completely crushing in terms of technology and performance, the army has landed, including quite a few tanks, the defenders are losing and retreating, it seems that it is only a matter of time before the island is lost, and the British hope that our four-engine bombers in Central Africa can help." ”

Roosevelt shook his head dejectedly: What are you kidding? During this time, Guderian had been fighting in the African theater of operations, and Eisenhower's troops could not resist the aggressive offensive of the armored forces of the African Army Group, and they all retreated from Mombasa to Nairobi.

"If the British really can't hold on, let them evacuate the most important personnel to South Africa......" Speaking of South Africa, Roosevelt couldn't help but look up at the map, Madagascar is only 1500-2000 kilometers away from South Africa, if the Germans attack South Africa again, the Allies really have no place to stand on the African continent. But he had no way at all now, except to get some escort aircraft carriers to cover the merchant ships to transport planes and supplies to South Africa, and he could not mobilize a fleet to fight the Germans head-to-head.

If Roosevelt had known that the three Axis aircraft carriers attacking Madagascar this time were only light aircraft carriers with a capacity of no more than 30 aircraft, he would probably have fainted.

Putting down the phone, he said with a solemn face: "I agree with your ideas and suggestions, and will find a way to provide all necessary resources, but I can't use any laws or written things to teach the truth, and there are ......"

He paused for a long time: "This is a temporary measure after all, we and the Nazis are two different people after all, and we should withdraw from the radical position as soon as victory and peace are achieved in the future, right?" ”

Hoover nodded: "This is the price that must be paid to ensure the war and achieve final victory, and the United States can only have one voice and one will!" ”

Roosevelt sighed: "I don't know what the American people will think of us and this thing in the future......"

Hoover stood up: "History will have a fair conclusion about this, and some people may be ruined, but it can only be me, I am using my power to act recklessly, and you will be the greatest president -- who endured humiliation and hardship to lead the American people to win the war." ”

Roosevelt looked at Hoover, his eyes slightly moist - he had worked with Hoover for more than ten years, and knew that these words were not lame expressions of loyalty, but sincere words from the bottom of his heart. No matter what small abacus the other party has in his heart, at least the two sides have a consensus on this point, he held the other party's hand and explained softly: "Let it go, don't worry too much, everything has me!" ”

Berlin was six hours ahead of Washington, and Roosevelt's conversation with Hoover was 9 o'clock in the morning, and Berlin was exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and Hoffmann received a phone call from Senior General Jeshunek, chief of the General Staff of the Air Force, at the Chancellery: "Führer, the Americans have been dispatched, and the Dutch radar station shows that the US military has dispatched at least 1,000 bombers, and nearly 400 escort fighters, which have now entered the territory of Germany. ”

"Have you figured out where they're going?"

"It is not possible to judge at the moment, but it is likely to be Berlin, and the Greater Berlin air defense zone has prepared a full 500 FW-190 high-altitude fighters, which are taking off one after another."

"Further monitoring will be carried out according to the predetermined plan."

"In the event of an enemy vacuum attack on Berlin, I request that the Storm Bird Special Air Force be used as well, and I ordered them to be ready for battle 10 minutes ago."

Hoffman pondered and said, "Yes, it's time to show Americans something different." ”

Putting down the phone, Jeshunek breathed a sigh of relief -- after learning that the mobile fleet had successfully bombed New York, he knew that the Americans would definitely retaliate, and he had been prepared accordingly since yesterday, and he happened to collide today.

"The Führer has agreed to use the Storm Birds, it's up to you next......"

"Yay!" Lieutenant General Garland, the commander of the fighter, jumped for joy and waved his fist, and the director of air defense, Admiral Kamhuber, also looked happy.

After the dismissal of Field Marshal Hugo Sperler, the Air Force underwent another round of personnel changes, and Jeshunek's prestige and management authority were further increased, while Kamhuber and Garland were promoted by one rank each for their long-standing exploits. The former was responsible for the overall air defense of the Western Front, but focused on the management of night troops, the latter was responsible for daytime air defense and was directly in charge of the Stormbird Special Air Force, and the Imperial Air Force, which was stationed on the mainland and was responsible for air defense, was directly managed by Jeshunek himself.

"But I'm going to say well, the Stormbird can be dispatched, you can't go up to the sky, the guards ......" Jeshunek dragged out his voice, "pass my order, if General Garland and the others are going to fly the plane, you can be detained on the spot and locked up!" ”

"Okay." Garand was like a popped balloon, deflated at once, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

The Storm Bird Special Air Force is a jet fighter air force that has been established for a long time and is managed by Garland himself, all of which are instructors from the top Air Force aces, with the fewest achievers shooting down more than 50 and the top of the list more than 200, including the famous African star Marseilleu.

According to the arrangement of the Ministry of Armaments, the Messerschmitt company will go into mass production of the ME-262C in July, the model number ME-262C, which has already produced a batch of pre-production ME-262C and 262B, which are jointly equipped with improved Jumo-004C engines, and the Stormbird special aviation team is equipped with this batch of pre-production models.

Compared with the historical ME-262A, the new model has been greatly improved, the thrust of a single engine has increased from 8.8 kN to 10 kN, the weight has decreased by more than 30 kg, the average time between failures has risen to 250 hours, the maximum speed has exceeded 930 km / h, the maximum range is 1250 km (1500 km after adding auxiliary fuel tanks), the maximum ceiling is 12500 meters, and it is equipped with 4 20mm MG213 cannons (200 rounds for a single ammunition) and 48 R4M rockets.

The aircraft actually has the ability to install 4 30MMMck108 cannons, and around the different types of cannons, the ME-262C has two sub-models, one is called the instructor version and the other is called the cadet version. These two versions were derived by the veterans based on many experiments, and they believed that although the power of the MK108 was huge, there were always problems with the trajectory, and that it would be better to use the MG213 when attacking with BZ, but it would be better and easier for novice students to use the powerful MK108 to attack head-to-head.
