The war of the great powers begins with the first attack on the industrial base of the other side, and only by destroying the industrial capacity of the other side can there be any hope of victory.

The industrial base of the United States is quite strong, and the reason why the Pheasant 56 opposed a war with the United States at the beginning was because the industrial capacity of the United States was too strong and could not be compared with that of the island countries, and if the island countries destroyed one of the Pacific Fleets of the United States, the Americans would build another one in less than two years, on the contrary, if the navy of the island country was destroyed in a naval battle, the navy of the island country would be finished.

As long as the United States does not interfere in the affairs of the island countries and allows the islanders to expand their territory in Southeast Asia with peace of mind, this is enough.

But not in Germany.

As far as Germany is concerned, if the United States is not defeated, the war will never end, and the United States is the last base of those remnants, and it must be fought to the United States!

Washington, White House.

It was already dark, no one could spin around, and those who worked until the latest also went home at eight o'clock, but, as soon as they got home, they were called back again.

When Marshall was the last to walk in, he didn't know what had happened, but everyone had a stiff face, as if someone's father had died.

"The war of the Germans against our homeland has officially begun." Roosevelt said: "Just half an hour ago, our Newport News shipyard was bombed by the Germans and suffered heavy losses, and even an aircraft carrier under construction was destroyed. ”

Hearing this, Marshall was stunned for a moment, and his intuitive reaction was, how is this possible?

"The Germans used bombers?" Marshall asked, "Aren't we having an aviation base near there?" Although most of the recruits are rookies, the number of Germans who come from afar is definitely not large! ”

"Not a bomber." Ernst, the Minister of the Admiralty, said: "The Germans are using their missiles. ”

"German missiles, can fly so far?" Now, it was Marshall's turn to ask.

This doubt, Ernst had heard too much just now, and in fact, when he heard the news, he had the same question, but in the end it was all confirmed.

"Yes. The Germans have developed a powerful space system, and their missiles have been able to cross the Atlantic. Ernst said: "From now on, we will always face the German missile attacks." ”

The Americans have never attached importance to missiles, for them, this thing is useless, historically, the Americans did not have any technical reserves during World War II, and the American rocket technology was completely brought over from the German team after the end of World War II.

The United States brought Braun and others to the United States, while the Soviets brought back the technical data of the train wagon back to the Soviet Union, and the technology of the United States and the Soviet Union almost all started with the German V-2 missile, and Braun was the father of American rocketry.

Even when it came to the Apollo moon landing, Braun was at the helm.

And now, the United States does not have any technical reserves, and the American rocket expert of that year, Robert Goddard, as an American professor, engineer and inventor, inventor of liquid rockets. He launched the world's first liquid rocket on March 16, 1926!

If the United States could pay attention to it, there would have been a full-fledged rocket a long time ago, but unfortunately, there were voices everywhere that ridiculed him, thinking that he was a clown, and as a result, he was taken to Germany by Ciric.

To say that from the perspective of confrontation, if the United States had the same technology, it would shoot at the Germans and hit Germany with missiles, but now, the Americans don't have it!

"If we look at it from the point of view of a counterattack, we can use our B-29 bombers, starting from the air base in Greenland, to bomb the German capital Berlin and then back home, but the strong air defense capabilities of the Germans will bring terrible casualties to our bomber forces."

At the beginning, when the Pacific War broke out, the B-29 had not yet been developed, so the U.S. Navy had to use its own aircraft carrier to carry the B-25 to complete the first attack on the mainland of the island country.

Now that the B-29 is in service, it is summer again, the base in Greenland can be used, and it is not difficult to bomb the German capital.

However, Roosevelt shook his head: "No. ”

That would make the situation worse.

The Germans are attacking their own shipyards, not their own capital, if they run over and fight back now, hit the German capital, not to mention how much they lose, this will definitely anger the Germans, the Germans' missiles will fly towards their own capital, and when the time comes, even the White House will not be able to stay, and they need to hide in the basement all day.

That's not good.

Now, Roosevelt's concern is not unreasonable, and at the same time, it is also sad that the United States should make such a consideration!

"Bomb their missile launch positions." Roosevelt said, "Find their missile launch positions, send our bombers out, and blow them up, no matter what the cost!" ”

At present, the German attack is aimed at weakening the war potential of the United States and paralyzing the American industry, and at the same time, the United States counterattacks to make it impossible for the Germans to launch missiles.

It can't be expanded yet, the United States needs to accumulate strength, and the longer it takes, the better the recovery of the United States, and at the same time, the Germans will not expand the scale of the war until the end of the Soviet-German war, it can only be regarded as an attack.

Finding the opponent's missile launch position is not something that can be done immediately, after all, when the opponent's missile is discovered, it is already time to fall, and where it flew from is the efforts of intelligence officers.

"Right now, our industries on the East Coast are at risk of being hit." "My personal suggestion is that it's time for us to move to the West Coast, especially shipbuilding, and it's more appropriate to focus on the West Coast," Roosevelt said. ”

If you can't afford to fight, then you can only hide, in the current situation, the east coast is not safe, fortunately the United States faces the sea on both sides, since the east coast is in danger, it is better to exert force from the west coast.

However, in this case, the industrial output value of the United States will be greatly reduced in a short period of time, especially in the shipbuilding industry, and if the shipbuilding industry on the East Coast is abandoned, then the United States' ongoing plan to build ships on a large scale will be greatly affected.

This is also a helpless choice, the German missile attack, which successfully curbed the US shipbuilding program, makes people feel as disgusting as eating.

"Mr. President, there is good news from the Soviet side." At this moment, suddenly, the Secretary of State hurried over: "The Soviets have succeeded in developing the same large bomb that can destroy an entire city like the Germans." ”
