Last time, Roosevelt was in high spirits and wanted to intercept Ciric's landline halfway, but what happened? In order to reduce the impact, it was claimed that it was a bad weather crash, but no one wants to think about the real reason.

If it could have been an accident last time, then this time it must not be regarded as an accident, all of which shows that there has been a big omission in our own intelligence system, and the biggest possibility should be that the telegram was deciphered by the other party.

Roosevelt was already gritting his teeth at this time, what should he do?

The other bombers were on the way to bomb, and according to the plan, they would be able to bomb the intended target in another hour, but now, since such a thing has happened, it means that the Germans have been prepared for a long time.

"This bombing operation was canceled, and all bomber units were ordered to return." Roosevelt said.

Cancel? Hearing Roosevelt's words, Arnold on the side also opened his mouth wide, wouldn't he? So you came home? They racked their brains to design routes, and at the same time, they raised hundreds of bombers, intending to have a grand scene, but now they actually came back like this?

"Greenland is no longer safe, they have to go back to where they started, let them drop the bombs and come back at the most fuel-efficient altitude and speed." Roosevelt's face was rather depressed, and now, of course, he was also unwilling.

Originally, it was planned to return to Greenland after the bombing, but now? Greenland has been bombed, and even if their B-29 bombers complete their mission, where should they land? If you go to Greenland, even if you can find a landing site, you will be blown up.

They can only return to the place of departure, in which case the fuel is not enough, and it may be too late to turn back, and they will have to throw away the bombs on board.

Damn!

In fact, when he heard the news just now, Arnold still wanted to continue to insist, but now, with President Roosevelt's explanation, he also understood that it was true that this mission should be canceled.

"Okay, then I'll give them the order to return at once." Arnold went out.

The situation is not the worst, after all, the Germans have not used that terrible killing weapon when they bombed their Greenland base, which shows that the Germans are also restrained, after all, unlike before, the United States already has it.

At least, it's half the battle, eliminating the threat from Midway.

Roosevelt looked at the map on the wall, pondering.

"Mr. President, in the current situation, it is no longer realistic to sneak attack the German Navy, relying on our surface formations and bombers in the air." Nimitz spoke again.

In the air, the range is too long, there is no suitable base, Greenland will often be bombed, flying too far from Canada. As for the navy, before the ice aircraft carrier was built, even if the Pacific Fleet was transferred, it would not be possible to fight the German fleet on the sea.

This is the terrible reality, the United States has to wait for the Germans to fight, can only passively wait, Roosevelt tried to take the initiative several times, but in the end it was to no avail.

"And then?" Roosevelt asked, of course, that he knew that his subordinate was definitely not saying anything depressing.

"I think we should pay attention to the role of submarines." Nimitz said: "We're going to send out our submarine forces, and we're going to launch a massive operation to get rid of those outfitting warships in those shipyards!" Nimitz said. ”

It's the same attack on the port, but this time it's up to the navy!

Throughout World War II, Germany's Atlantic wolves were the most famous, enough to put any other submarine force to shame, and when the British people feared with concern that the Germans would get stuck in their necks, their fears were visceral.

In contrast, the submarines of other countries seem to have little name, especially the United States, which is almost the world of carrier-based aviation and battleships, and has almost no brilliant results in submarines.

If you look at it this way, it is absolutely one-sided.

The submarine force of the US Navy has also achieved brilliant results.

From World War I until the outbreak of World War II, the U.S. Navy did not pay much attention to submarines. In the eyes of the U.S. Navy, the main role of submarines is to serve as scouts for the main fleet, called "fleet-type submarines." In the vast Pacific Ocean, a submarine with a displacement of only one or two thousand tons and a fuel-efficient diesel engine when navigating on the surface is indeed a very suitable reconnaissance platform.

Until the outbreak of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy did not have particularly modern submarines, and the torpedoes used by U.S. submarines often did not explode because the fuse failed, and suffered greatly in the early stages of the war.

However, as the war progressed, the situation changed greatly, and the United States greatly expanded its navy, and its submarines began to expand, and after the construction of a new generation of submarines, American submariners were active in the ocean.

In particular, since July 1943, the Allied forces have entered the stage of counteroffensive in the Pacific theater, and US submarines have also gone deep into the western Pacific to carry out safaris before the footsteps of aircraft carrier groups and marines.

By the end of the war, there were only 8 aircraft carriers that died in submariners: Otaka, Daiho, Xianghe, Daitaka, Yunying, Shenyu, Shinano, and Yunlong. 1 battleship, 4 heavy cruisers, etc., a total of more than 170 warships were sunk; A total of 1,152 merchant ships and 4.86 million tons were sunk.

This result is not inferior to that of Germany.

And now, Nimitz, who opened his mouth to Roosevelt, was actually from the submarine force.

The Germans' sea transport was mainly through the Mediterranean, leaving few hunting opportunities for their own submarines, but it was also a good idea to sneak into the harbor of the other side and attack their warships.

Hearing Nimitz's words, Roosevelt nodded: "Let's let the lads of our submarine forces go out!" No matter what the cost, destroy the shipbuilding industry of the Germans and destroy their surface ships as much as possible. ”

Roosevelt knew very well in his heart that in the absence of surface ships, simply sending submarine forces, it would cost the submarine a lot, but now, there was no choice.

The sacrifice of the submarine force is to keep the United States through until the war is won, just like the bomber force was dispatched this time, and the pilots also risked their lives.

At this time, as long as there is a way, you have to use it!

"I recommend General Lockwood as the commander-in-chief of the submarine force, to organize all our available submarines and direct this huge offensive operation." Nimitz continued.
