Chapter 1709: Reliable Intelligence

Balloons are so easy to deal with, as long as you shoot a few shots at it with a fighter jet, a few bullets can be solved, if you have to say a difficult problem, it is how to find it, after all, this thing is at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

In short, since the existence of this weapon has been discovered, a solution to it must be found, and Roosevelt does not need to give instructions on any details, just mention the macro treatment.

To calm one's own emotions and not to cause panic, while at the same time deceiving the islanders into thinking that the balloons were useless, was Roosevelt's response.

Some small balloons, it is not worth Roosevelt to worry too much, now for Roosevelt, the most important thing is still the showdown with Germany, solve the Midway, solve the trouble in the back, and concentrate on dealing with the Germans!

"Our intelligence system, observed that the Germans were planning a major military operation recently, codenamed Operation Ice." Donovan said to Roosevelt.

"Is the intelligence true?" Roosevelt's questioning was meaningful.

Donovan was in charge of all the military intelligence, and every time he thought he had found exactly what he needed, but as a result, he was taken out of the ditch by the Germans and fought against the young guy Reinhardt, and Donovan always suffered.

Now, the president's suspicious questioning made Donovan's face instantly red: "Mr. President, if there is any error in the information this time, then transfer me out and send me to the battlefield." ”

You can't always be fooled, right? Donovan is already very careful, if the intelligence is wrong again this time, then he will simply go to the front line to be a death squad, and there will be no need to do any intelligence.

"If you know, it's good." Roosevelt said, "Let's talk about it. ”

"Here's our guess." Donovan continued.

"Wait, where's your information?" Roosevelt asked, just said a few words, and the following is a guess?

"Our intelligence is Operation Ice." "So far, we can only confirm the name of this intelligence," Donovan said. ”

After a long time, the intelligence is the ice cube operation? Roosevelt's brows furrowed, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win all battles, although the old Roosevelt did not learn Sun Tzu's Art of War, he also knew such a truth, and now his eyes are black, and he doesn't know anything!

"Let's talk about it." After waiting a few minutes, Roosevelt relented and spoke to Donovan.

"We think that the Germans are about to land in Greenland, and then use Greenland as a springboard to attack Canada, and we have to strengthen the defense in the north." Donovan said.

Donovan's inferences, in fact, can't be called inferences, these days, in the White House, every day of research, where is the strategic goal of the Germans?

After everyone's unanimous judgment, it is most convenient and effective to pass through Greenland.

Greenland, next to Iceland, the German planes took off from Iceland, the battleships departed from Iceland, just like walking in front of their own homes, Greenland is freezing cold, it is impossible to have too many soldiers stationed, if the Germans attack in a big way, they will definitely be able to conquer Greenland.

In this way, with Greenland as a springboard, it is possible to continue to fight Canada, and when it lands from Canada, the German army can stage a scene in Europe.

Previously, they had only inferred that the plan seemed to be getting closer and closer after the Germans occupied Iceland, but now Donovan had the exact information called Operation Ice.

Where are the ice cubes? Greenland, of course! So, when he got the name, Donovan knew that the next step for the Germans would definitely be to occupy Greenland.

The Germans took the route of Canada, so that even if the Atlantic defense line that had been painstakingly arranged in the United States was ineffective, everyone present hated it when they thought of it: "Our Atlantic defense line!" ”

"Relying on the defense line alone is not enough." Roosevelt was very open-minded, and it was simply whimsical to expect that project to hold back the Germans, just look at Europe.

Through that project, so much money flows to where they are really needed, which is an important purpose.

"Now is a good opportunity." Arnold, a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said: "Didn't we always expect to destroy the German Navy? Now the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the German Navy has arrived! ”

Greenland, which is not so easy to conquer, the former Iceland, which was caught off guard just because the United States did not notice, will not make the same mistakes as before.

The United States has also already gained experience, and in the last Battle of Midway, although Midway was eventually occupied by the islanders, it sank the main fleet of the island nation, and when its own bomber formations appeared with specially made bombs, the attack on their surface ships was quite effective.

The tactics of the last time, this time can be repeated!

The U.S. Navy suffered heavy losses, but the Army Aviation was always expanding, and now that we know the next goal of the Germans, we can definitely achieve it by preparing in advance.

"No, the Germans are quite vigilant, their naval formations are also very strong, and they have enough land-based long-range fighters, if we send bombers directly, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." At this moment, Marshall, who was on the sidelines, raised objections.

If the attack on the island country can be successful, it will not be able to attack Germany, and the two are not an order of magnitude at all, and before the American bombers have even flown up, there will certainly be a large number of German fighters to intercept them.

The enemy cannot be despised for this, this is a lesson in exchange for blood and life, and whoever despises the Germans will die a terrible death.

At the beginning, Nimitz proposed to deploy a large number of fighters in Greenland, and when the Germans came to sneak attack, they would counterattack the Germans, and the result? The German bombers came first and bombed the air base in Greenland, where it was freezing and had not been repaired until now, and if they wanted to support, they had to take off from the nearby Canadian home base.

"Yes, even if we take off to bomb before the German Navy arrives, we will fail because the other side is too vigilant." Arnold was good at summing up, and recent experience has proved the vigilance of the Germans: "If we want to succeed in a sneak attack, we can only wait for them to land in Greenland and then sneak attack when they return." ”

After the landing, when these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned, if the Germans landed in Greenland, would it be worth it? The whole of Greenland will become the territory of the Germans, and then use this as a springboard?

If Greenland is lost, then the continental United States will face a direct threat, which is typical of cold lips and teeth.

Now, Arnold is saying that there is hope for giving up Greenland, which is unacceptable.

"No, absolutely not, in an anti-landing operation, the enemy must be blocked on the beachhead, and if the enemy lands, there is almost no hope of winning." Nimitz said.

This is the simplest truth, you can't even hold a beachhead, and when the Germans' most elite infantry comes up, they still expect to push the enemy back into the sea?

"Can we stop it, then?" Arnold asked rhetorically.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
