Chapter 1126: Joining the War in Advance (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency, the Navy's carrier-based aircraft are also experiencing the same problems as the fighters of the Army Air Corps. The carrier-based aircraft of the Navy of the Germans, the fighters were mainly the carrier-based version of the BF-109 fighter. The carrier-based version of the F-190 fighter, although it has not yet entered service, is expected to be in service soon. And at present, our F4F fighter is inferior to the carrier-based BF-109 fighter in terms of performance, let alone the carrier-based F-190 fighter. In the event of a war between the Navy and the German Navy, this will put us at a disadvantage! "Chief of Naval Operations Harold? Admiral Stark said.
The main carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy is the F4F fighter, which is a carrier-based aircraft that has just entered service. However, in terms of performance, it seriously lagged behind the carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy.
The attack power of aircraft carriers is mainly reflected in carrier-based aircraft. If the carrier-based aircraft cannot compare with the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, even if the aircraft carrier has the same performance, it will also be at a disadvantage in naval warfare.
"Our SBD dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft are not big in terms of performance with the dive battleships and torpedo attack aircraft of the German Navy, even if there is a certain gap. If our carrier-based fighters were able to defeat the carrier-based fighters of the Germans, they would be able to cover the attacks of dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft on the ships of the Germans, thereby sinking them. But now it seems that our F4F fighters, apparently, will be difficult to accomplish this task! "Harold? Admiral Stark said.
"Does the Navy have a follow-up plan?" President Roosevelt asked.
"The Navy is developing the F4U fighter. However, there are still many problems that cannot be solved. If we can further increase investment, we may be able to enter service with the F4U fighter as soon as possible. "Harold? Admiral Stark said.
In another time and space, the U.S. Navy's F4F was beaten by the islanders' carrier-based Zero Battle in the Pacific Ocean and suffered heavy losses. It wasn't until after the F4U was put into service that it gradually regained its disadvantage. At this time, under the threat of carrier-based aircraft of the German Navy, the development of the F4U fighter of the US Navy was also advanced. It's just that even if the F4U fighter is in service, its performance is comparable to that of the German Navy's carrier-based BF-109 fighter. Once the carrier-based F-190 fighter enters service, the F4U fighter is at a disadvantage.
President Roosevelt nodded: "Gentlemen, the gap between us and the Germans in terms of weapons and equipment is indeed very large and shocking. However, it is a good thing for us to see these gaps now, so that we can have more advanced weapons and equipment to fight the Germans when we are involved in the war.
The war had already begun, and the Germans showed great combat effectiveness. This is also a huge threat to us. The time is not far off for us to be involved in the war. I hope that in the last period of time, we will be able to seize the time and develop more advanced equipment so that we can defeat the Germans after participating in the war! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!" The generals replied one after another.
Although, the strong combat effectiveness displayed by the German* army has made the senior military and political officials of the United States feel a lot of pressure. However, they also believed that with the strength of the United States, even if it was inferior to Germany in the war, the gap would not be too large. At that time, relying on the strength of other allies, they also have a good chance of defeating Germany.
"Your Excellency, this time Russia has suffered heavy losses in the war, and the pressure on them is very great. I am afraid that the Russian envoy came to the United States this time not only to ask for help from us. Hopkins said.
"And what might their other demands be?" President Roosevelt asked.
"We promised Russia that we would join the war two years after it began. That is, to enter the war no later than September 1941 at the latest. But now it seems that it is very difficult to say whether the Burussians will be able to withstand the onslaught of the Germans for two years. Therefore, I am afraid that the Russian government will ask us to enter the war in advance! Hopkins said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, it is possible. Given the strength shown by the Germans, I also doubt that the Burussians would be able to hold out for two years under the onslaught of the Germans. Even if they were lucky enough to hold out for so long, they would have suffered heavy losses from the Germans, and there would be no longer a threat to the Germans. In that case, we will probably have to face Germany, which is at the peak of its power. At that time, we will also be very stressed. Secretary of State Hull said.
President Roosevelt couldn't help frowning, he promised the Russian government to participate in the war within two years after the outbreak of the war, and the U.S. government had two purposes, one was to have more time to prepare for the war, so that they could prepare more fully, and carry out targeted development and deployment according to the performance of the Germans in the war, so as to have an advantage in the future war. Another purpose is to make Germany and Russia lose both, so that the United States can win the war at the lowest cost. Thus, ensuring that they can smoothly seize the leadership of the world after the end of the war.
But now it seems that the fighting power shown by Germany is too strong, and I am afraid that Burussia will not be able to hold out for two years. In other words, the strength of the Burenos and Russia was exhausted in two years, but it could not play a role in depleting the strength of Germany. In that case, even if the United States were to participate in the war itself, it would probably not be able to defeat Germany. At that time, I am afraid that all the plans of the United States will come to an end.
"Gentlemen, what do you think?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Your Excellency the President, if the Russians really can't hold on, in addition to providing them with more support, I'm afraid we will have to enter the war in advance. Taking advantage of the fact that Burussia still has a strong strength, it will attack Germany from another direction. In this way, the Germans could face the dilemma of fighting on two fronts. Of course, in that case, our losses will be a little greater. However, the possibility of defeating Germany will be a little greater. "George? Admiral Marshall said.
Other senior military and political officials in the United States also nodded their heads one after another. The United States really wants to wait for Russia and Germany to fight for both sides before participating in the war, so that it can pick up the bargain. However, if the United States enters the war in two years' time, there is no chance that the United States will win, then the United States will have to enter the war in advance. Even if you pay a bigger loss, you will not hesitate to do so.
"This issue, when the special envoy arrives, let's discuss it again!" President Roosevelt said.
