The powers of foreign affairs and defence are not important to Iceland right now.

In the case that Germany has troops stationed, the powers of diplomacy and defense, of course, are in the hands of Germany, and now they are only given to Denmark in name, and don't the Germans speak later?

This is what Germany wants, and at the same time, the real benefits Iceland gets, the fishery resources, the jobs, these will significantly improve the Icelandic economy, compared to the Americans who only garrison troops, the Germans give a huge advantage, enough to make neutral Iceland completely subordinate to Germany.

As long as they agree first, the parliament will basically pass it, which is good for Iceland after all, and after the Americans have done this, the Icelandic parliament should know who is more reliable.

From the time of the German attack to the time when Iceland was under German control, it did not take more than 36 hours before and after, and Germany once again performed a miracle.

After all, unlike before, this was a real cross-sea landing, and even a rehearsal for attacking the United States, and the landing method of the German Navy was even more eye-opening and unheard of.

The use of hovercraft to rush to the beach at high speed and the use of helicopters to quickly open up the battlefield behind enemy lines have completely left behind the traditional landing operations of the past.

The Americans were surprised that they cared more about the way of landing than Iceland changed hands. Just as Germany used tanks to organize a blitzkrieg and created a new military theory, the Germans also opened up a new era in cross-sea landings.

"Damn, what's going on with the Germans, they can come up with so many new tricks." Eisenhower said, "What about our technocrats? When will the same one be made? ”

As an important staff officer of the military high command, he came to personally report to the president the great progress he had made in the field of anti-tanks, and just after he finished the report, he heard the latest news about the Icelandic campaign, everything could not be hidden, and the German methods were exposed.

Hearing this, Eisenhower couldn't help but sigh.

The 56-year-old General Nimitz was also deeply touched: "Yes, the landing of the Germans in Iceland was like a rehearsal. ”

Everyone understands what he means, the Germans can land in Iceland today, maybe Greenland tomorrow, and the American mainland the day after tomorrow!

"Our Atlantic defense line is very vulnerable in the face of such a landing operation." Marshall is also very big.

Although the aircraft carrier of the island nation was sunk, the landing of the island people on Midway was like a nail under the noses of the Americans, which made people very unhappy.

The United States was preparing to continue fighting at Midway Island and drive out the islanders, but in the Atlantic, there was such bad news: Are the Germans going to take advantage of the tension in the Pacific to launch a war against the American mainland?

Before the war in the Soviet Union was over, the Germans dared to fight on two fronts and start the mode of war with the United States? It's just arrogant, it's terrible.

The United States has a long coastline in the Atlantic, and if it were to defend it, it would involve a huge amount of energy from the United States, and at the same time, they would be powerless at all.

The helicopter landed directly behind your line of defense, and put the troops down in formation, although it did not carry tanks, but the helicopter was enough to be used as a flying tank to provide fire support, such a combination is quite terrifying.

How should the United States respond?

Roosevelt did not speak, there was only determination in his eyes, the situation was not so bad, and, no matter how bad, he believed that there was a solution, and that God would not abandon this last free world.

"I think we should invest more in aviation." At this moment, Arnold, who had not spoken, spoke.

As far as the United States is concerned, it has vigorously developed its navy, but it has been held back by the islanders, and no matter how many newly built warships are sent to the Pacific Ocean, I originally thought that the Germans would not start the mode of destroying the United States before defeating the Soviet Union, who knew that the Germans would dare to be so arrogant.

Naval brutality takes time, in comparison, aviation is much easier, in this day and age, the cost of building an airplane and a tank is about the same.

Arnold is a supporter of the power of aviation, in his opinion, aviation will dominate the future, and at the same time, practice is beginning to prove this truth, in the Pacific Ocean, battleships did not play much of a role, the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft became the mainstream, and several naval battles were fought almost like this.

As long as you deploy a large number of fighters, you can hinder the landing of the Germans, how can their helicopters fight against the fighters?

"Go on." Roosevelt's eyes lit up.

"As long as we are within a hundred kilometers of the coastline and arrange a forward aviation base, we can effectively prevent their landing, and at the same time, it is easy to take care of each other, in case an airfield is bombed, other airfields can also take off to meet the enemy, or even a field airfield, so that the Germans cannot find it, and the Germans want to land across the sea, it is not so easy, our land-based fighters will make the Germans suffer heavy losses. Isn't that what we do when it comes to naval formations dealing with the islanders? ”

Yes, the situation in Iceland is different from that of the United States, Iceland is defenseless, it is surrounded by sea water, the Germans are easy to hide, and at that time there was a lack of water reconnaissance planes, and there was a lack of focused observation.

The US mainland is different, there is no problem at all to monitor the waters of the coastline five hundred kilometers in front of the coastline, and there is no problem with arranging a large number of aviation bases, and if the Germans dare to come, they will greet them with their own fighters!

Even if it is not enough to use a guided bomb, at least the tactics of fighting in the water have been proven to be successfully used in real combat.

Building warships consumes a lot of man-hours, and aviation takes much less time.

"For now, we still need to face the island nation first." Roosevelt spoke: "Although the Germans have conquered Iceland, it is impossible to attack our homeland immediately, their land forces are all in the Soviet Union, we will concentrate our naval forces, continue to deal with the island countries, and at the same time divide the air forces, first guard our Atlantic coastline, and wait until the island countries are solved, and then we will fight a decisive battle with the German navy." ”

Roosevelt's visionary, such a strategy, is completely in line with the current United States.

At the same time, it was no problem to rely on aviation, and it was not so easy for the Germans to land on their own territory.

It's a pity that he would never have thought that the Germans had already had a plan of action that was completely beyond their imagination, and now all this is completely misleading the Americans.
