Chapter 1776: Stealing the plane

I have to send the secretary of state to Canada again, discuss with those dirt buns, and exert some pressure, with the Germans occupying Greenland, the whole of Canada is within the bombing range of the Germans, especially Baffin Island, and Gotthob is almost across the strait, if there is a super cannon on the opposite side, it can be smashed directly.

In this case, Canada must also act quickly!

After deliberating on this matter, there is still a lot to be resolved.

"The failure was mainly due to the fact that the Germans threw in the jet troops." Arnold analyzed the battle process sorted out in front of him, the Germans put in the most correct reserves at the most critical time, or the terrible jet reserves, this is the key, if there is no jet force, their own bombers, will definitely be able to successfully complete the bombing mission, in the end, this sneak attack with heavy losses, did not achieve results, all because of the jet troops!

That terrible speed, terrible climb, terrible interceptor rockets, is simply a tailor-made nemesis for bomber troops.

"What about our jets? To what extent has it been studied? Roosevelt asked Hoover.

Hearing Roosevelt's question, Hoover's mind was full of circles: "Mr. President, we have found Dr. Hayne-Constant, with him as the core, we have established a jet design unit, and now, they are wearing the stars and the moon to strive to complete the design of the first jet as soon as possible." ”

"How long will it take?" Roosevelt asked, "Will it be finalized next month?" ”

Roosevelt was also in a hurry, every time, the Germans crossed the era, and they had just caught up in the propeller plane, and the Germans were actually jets.

If you can't catch up, then your own side will still be pressed and beaten, and without air supremacy, there will be nothing.

Hearing Roosevelt's question, Hoover immediately showed a wry smile: "Mr. President, that's a jet that we don't have any technical reserves!" It's not about building a truck, we don't even have an engine, and now we're investing a lot of money, and under the auspices of Dr. Hein-Constant, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to complete the development, and as for the whole machine, it will probably take three to five years. ”

Three to five years? At that time, I'm afraid the United States will be gone! Roosevelt immediately shook his head: "No, absolutely not." ”

The United States could not wait that long.

In fact, three or five years, this is still a conservative estimate, how many years has it been used in Germany?

When the BF109 came out, Dr. Messerschmitt took a large number of experts to start the research and development of the jet, and Junkers and BMW also began a long process of engine development.

Historically, the United States did not have technical reserves for jet aircraft, and they were all taken directly from the United Kingdom, such as engines, and if the Americans developed them themselves, they don't know how long it would take.

This is the heritage of the old country, in later generations, even if Britain declined, Spey aero engines, ship gas turbines, NATO standard 105 tank guns or something, all developed by Britain.

Americans have no technology and are starting from scratch.

However, it is not enough to do without jets.

Arnold frowned, and seriously considered it, according to the report, the other party can fly at will at an altitude of 14,500 meters, and there is a terrible speed, jets are necessary for their own side, but, relying on the existing technology, experts, it is too long to figure it out, then, there is only one shortcut.

"Mr. President, I suggest, let's steal a German jet out." Arnold said.

What if you can't make it in a short period of time and you need it in particular?

Stole, of course! Steal it and copy it.

Historically, the Soviet Union was greedy for the American B-29, and if it didn't come, it simply seized and forced the landing on its own continent, directly copied it, and soon made it out.

Steal?

Hearing Arnold's proposal, Donovan couldn't help but nunu's mouth: "What are you kidding, how can we steal their most advanced plane under the nose of the Gestapo!" ”

The Germans had a powerful intelligence system, the Gestapo were everywhere, and many agents were found out and died miserably, and Hoover didn't have that ability.

Arnold made an opinion, this is very light, just move your mouth, but the actual action requires the intelligence personnel to take great risks, which is almost an impossible task.

Hearing Donovan say this, Hoover immediately acted nonchalant: "This is the responsibility of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, as the director, I don't even have this responsibility, why don't we change it?" ”

Donovan is external, Hoover is internal, the relationship between the two has long been discordant, and now, hearing Donovan retreat, Hoover can't help but start sarcastically mocking him.

Hearing Hoover's sarcasm, Donovan's face suddenly changed and he wanted to argue with him.

"That's enough." Roosevelt interrupted a possible argument between the two and said to Arnold, "Arnold, you go on. ”

Originally, the US intelligence system was scattered, and in order to better carry out intelligence work, a unified strategic intelligence bureau was established; in fact, Roosevelt's cunning and cunning did not want the intelligence system to be mastered by one person, and the open and secret struggle between Hoover and Arnold made Roosevelt feel more at ease.

And now, while expressing his displeasure, Roosevelt asked Arnold, who he knew must have a better idea.

Sure enough, Arnold spoke: "If it were in Europe, we would definitely not have a chance." But if the Germans want to attack us, they have to build up a forward base gradually, and they have already deployed their jets to Iceland, and I think that soon, they will be deployed to Greenland, and in these newly occupied areas, their Gestapo activities are much less effective, and that's our chance. ”

Arnold's words made the eyes of those present light up, and even Donovan knew that this proposal must have the possibility of success, such as Greenland, where he has developed a lot of eyelines and deployed certain intelligence officers.

So, that's the last question that remains.

Even if they have access to the plane, who can steal it back? You know, it's impossible for ordinary people to fly airplanes, especially jets, and that must be a specialized pilot!

It's not that easy, among the agents, there are very few who can fly the plane, and if one is not careful, even if it is stolen back, it may be broken when landing.
