After all, even for escorting an aircraft carrier, the shortest construction period will take several months, while attacking an aircraft carrier will take seven or eight months, which is already the fastest.

It was supposed to be several ships that were about to be built, but they were bombed again, and the US Navy was simply crying without tears, and now, Nimitz gave an idea.

Since we can't get enough naval fleets in a short period of time to make the U.S. Navy as strong as Germany, we're going to pull the German Navy to the same level as we are.

It takes a long time to build a warship, but it will be faster to build an airplane.

In this era, building airplanes and tanks are almost the same, but they are not as expensive as the airplanes of later generations, and a country with hundreds of planes is a big country, and there are tens of thousands of planes at every turn.

The next step for the Germans will definitely be a sneak attack on Greenland, then, simply set up an ambush in Greenland, or set up an ambush nearby, and hit the German fleet!

Nimitz's proposal won everyone's approval, and Roosevelt was even more inspired, in this case, simply do not copy some German examples, in the past, the German air raid on Scapa Bay is definitely the most wonderful!

Or simply organize an air raid of the same kind, starting from Greenland, and bomb the base of the German Navy? As long as a few of their aircraft carriers are blown up and sunk, then the United States will usher in a short period of peace, and there will be enough respite.

When Roosevelt thought of this, he became excited, and his face flushed, as if his life had a second spring, that is, that is, why didn't he think of it?

Sneak attack on the German fleet and turn things around in one fell swoop!

In Roosevelt's heart, this idea suddenly popped up, and he couldn't take it back, looking at his staff, Roosevelt blurted out: "How about our sneak attack on the German naval base?" Sink the main warship of the Germans in the harbor. ”

Recently, Roosevelt seems to have been a little too eager for quick success, and his mind is full of wild ideas, such as going to bomb Moscow at the beginning, but fortunately he was as good as he could, and finally changed it to intercept on the route.

Now, the facts have proved that they have fallen into the trap, the Germans have long been well aware of their own actions, and the sneak attack was sneak attacked, if it is to bomb Moscow, then the precious strategic bomber, I don't know how much to lose!

Now, Roosevelt did not learn his lesson and went to a sneak attack on the German naval base!

Will this be successful?

The German attack on Scapa Bay was due to the fact that Scapa Bay was isolated from the British mainland, surrounded by water on three sides, and its geographical location determined that it was vulnerable to a sneak attack.

However, the German base is different, the German naval base is mainly in the north of Germany, the North Sea coast, because Britain, Denmark and other countries have been conquered by Germany, so this is considered the depth of the territory, their own bomber group, flying all the way from Greenland, must have been discovered from afar.

Along the way, Germany had enough to lay out six or seven interception lines, inflicting heavy losses on American bomber forces.

Ten thousand steps back, even if it flies into the German naval base, what can it be, it may not be possible to find the German warships, now, near the German port, is tightly sealed, there is no way to know how many ships are staying in it, and I don't know if there are aircraft carriers, unless air reconnaissance is dispatched.

But as long as it is dispatched, it will definitely startle the snake.

The classic tactics of the Germans, where are they easily copied!

Nimitz frowned and explained the problems to Roosevelt, but fortunately, Roosevelt stiffened his brow and listened to it.

"Yes, it seems that we have to be cautious." Roosevelt said: "Then the Navy should demonstrate how likely it is to attack German bases, and when necessary, we must not be afraid of sacrifice, just as Doolittle went to attack Tokyo, and if our operation can be successful, it will greatly boost our morale." ”

Roosevelt looked at it from a political point of view, after the German conquest of the Soviet Union, I am afraid that there was also an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment in the United States, and once everyone thought that they could not win, it was very likely, and they were really going to lose.

A victory must be used to raise the self-confidence of the people!

"Mr. President, I have another great idea." In Nimitz's brain, a plan had already been hatched: "Although the cross-era bomb developed by us with the technology imported from the Soviet Union cannot be used in battle with the Germans, it is only for deterrence, but it should be no problem for the island country and our invaded Midway, right?" Having solved the problem of the island nation, we will be able to deal with Germany with all our might. ”

Everyone's mouths were wide open.

……

The meeting lasted several hours, various courses of action were determined, and when everyone else was gone, Roosevelt again left Marshall and Groves behind.

"Mr. President, our Manhattan Project has been restarted." "Those Russians, now fully engaged in their work, are working hard to build our nuclear bomb as soon as possible," Groves said. ”

Roosevelt nodded: "We don't have time, now, I look forward to our nuclear bomb every day, once the Germans build it first, then we will completely lose hope of victory." ”

If there were nuclear bombs, then the thermobaric bombs of the Germans would definitely be thrown down without any scruples, and now it has just become a new equilibrium, which the United States does not use, and Germany does not use it, just like the previous poison gas bombs.

But a nuclear bomb would upset that balance.

"In addition to nuclear bombs, we also need to develop rockets." Roosevelt said: "The Germans paraded in Moscow and showed off their latest missiles, which could cross half the world to hit us, and we had to have the same weapons." ”

Roosevelt already had a hunch that if this ballistic missile was equipped with a nuclear warhead, or a thermobaric warhead, it would be an absolute disaster, because this thing could not be intercepted at all!

Originally, Robert Goddard could be the leader of American rockets, but unfortunately, it was taken away by the Germans more than ten years ago, when the Germans began to develop rockets, but they knew nothing!

It is a pity that there are no experts in this area in the United States anymore.

In later generations, American rocket technology began with the German V-2 missile, and it is ironic that Braun, a scientist who has served Germany for more than ten years, became the father of American rocketry.

"We lack experts in this area, but we have already heard that the Soviets have experts in this area, and they are also secretly developing rockets, and two of them, Korolev and Grushko, are the leaders of rockets and engines." "If we can get them here, we'll be able to put up this stall," Marshall said. ”

Although a large number of Soviet scientists were invited to the United States for investigation, the prisoners were not counted, and both of them are still working in Prison No. 4 in Siberia.

Roosevelt's eyes rolled: "Well, you can find a way to get them over!" Stalin needs our support even more now, and besides, the Soviets simply do not have the ability to conduct scientific research now, and only we can get this kind of thing out! ”
