Chapter 430: Roosevelt's Death Order and Chen Yanlong's Economic Resolve

"Are these the latest German jets? General Arnold! ”

When President Roosevelt came to Boeing's aircraft manufacturing plant in Wichita, Kansas, he went to a secret storage room inside the factory with Marshall and others, staring up intently at the wreckage of a German Me262 jet fighter and the fuselage of an Ar-234 jet bomber.

"Yes! Your Excellency, President! ”

General Arnold, who was standing next to Marshall, also observed the German planes in front of him intently and responded.

General Arnold was the commander of the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II and the Deputy Chief of Staff for Air Forces. Commander of the Army Air Corps, with the rank of five-star general, he is known as the father of the modern American Air Force.

So his answer was a very valuable and valuable opinion for President Roosevelt.

Otherwise, Roosevelt would not have been the first to ask him, not Admiral Marshall, or other generals beside him.

"Can we make a jet that is even more powerful than these jets of the German army?"

President Roosevelt looked back at General Arnold and asked a little anxiously.

"It takes time! If we have enough time and can thoroughly study these two German jets, then we can make jets that are more powerful than German jets and fighter jets! ”

General Arnold replied cautiously.

"How long will it take? Can I do it within the three I requested? ”

President Roosevelt continued to ask.

"As much as possible!"

General Arnold replied a little embarrassed.

"Can the FJ-1 Nemesis jet and the F9F Leopard carrier-based fighter be completed ahead of schedule?"

President Roosevelt asked eagerly.

"The FJ-1 "Nemesis" jet will try to be completed within the time required by His Excellency the President, but the combat effectiveness is still unknown, because the production time is too urgent, so there will be more loopholes that need to be improved!"

"Actually, I am more eager than you to hope that our aviation unit will soon have jet planes with superior combat performance than the German army, so that they can enter the air battle and gain strategic air supremacy! Your Excellency, President! ”

General Arnold sighed and said helplessly.

Because Arnold's long-term strategic thinking was to use a large number of advanced aircraft to enter the enemy's airspace to surprise the enemy's ground forces and surface ships, and penetrate deep into the enemy's strategic rear, destroy the enemy's rear supplies, industrial economy, transportation hubs, and even densely populated central cities, and destroy the enemy's will to resist as a whole.

Because in this way, he was able to make his country not need to send land forces to invade and occupy the territory of the enemy, as long as he had a large number of advanced air forces, he could win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and he could force the enemy to surrender and end the war.

And his favorite mode of combat is called "strategic bombing", this type of bombing method is not only attacking military targets, that is, troops, military bases, military facilities, etc.; In addition, they have launched a thorough attack on the enemy's rear production facilities, transportation facilities, and even ordinary residential areas, with the aim of completely destroying the enemy's ability to wage war and causing the enemy's government and people to lose the will to continue the war. As recorded in later online sources, in July and August 1943, the US and British air forces carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombing of Hamburg, Germany.

Hamburg, Germany, a city with a population of 1.76 million, suffered three large-scale air raids in July, and British and American air forces dropped a large number of high-performance bombs and magnesium incendiary bombs during the day and night bombing, thus causing serious damage to 55 percent to 60 percent of the urban area of Hamburg, Germany, and causing 450,000 casualties in Hamburg, Germany.

Therefore, he is now more anxious than Roosevelt to get a new jet that can defeat the German army, because as General Arnold, who can command the world's largest air force, including 15 air groups (under the jurisdiction of 234 combat aviation groups), a total of 2.5 million people, and about 70,000 aircraft, is absolutely unwilling to be suppressed by the German air force and defeat him.

"Whatever the cost, I hope you'll get our engineers and jet research department and team of experts to produce our first FJ-1 Nemesis jet within three months!"

"As for the F9F "Leopard" carrier-based fighter, I will give you a death order, and the first one must be produced before January 30, 19944, otherwise I will severely punish it, and I will definitely not punish all the personnel who fail to make it, and the person in charge!"

"Because this war is gradually beyond our grasp, if we can't find a way to restrain Hitler's endless new weapons and equipment, I am afraid that the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, will be shrouded in the shadow of his dark aggression!"

"Our world is running out, we must win this damn World War II in 1944, get rid of Hitler and his fascist Germany, and rebuild world peace for the anti-fascist people all over the world!"

Hearing this, President Roosevelt immediately said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression on his face.

"Yes! Your Excellency, I will do my best to complete the task you have given me! ”

In this regard, General Arnold could only agree with his head.

At this time in Germany, Chen Yanlong was pacing around the Berlin Chancellery, anxiously thinking about whether to go to Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

He wanted to restore Bavaria as a thriving industrial center and set a new benchmark for German urban development.

Bavaria is one of the richest regions in Germany, and in the last few decades it has undergone a dramatic transformation from a predominantly agricultural to a high-tech industry, with automotive manufacturing being one of the core industries in Bavaria.

Of course, the textile, machine and wood industries, as well as the printing industry, the plastics industry, and the toy industry, as well as the food industry, are also well-known industrial economic incomes.

In addition to these industries, agriculture is also the main economic income sector of Bavaria.

The aircraft industry, the electrical and electronics industry, the insurance industry and the publishing industry are also major sources of income.

"It seems that I want to build an army of capable economic talents to build Germany's economy for me, and make suggestions to embark on the road to a strong country, otherwise I have no way to rebuild Germany's economy quickly with my own ability!"

"Whether it is fighting a war or defending the country, it takes a lot of money and wealth to back it up, so a country's economic development and income are the top priority!"

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yanlong immediately decided to reorganize Germany's economic forces on the same day and recruit a large number of talents with economic ability and brains; to take off the German economy, increase national income, and stabilize people's livelihood at home.
