Chapter 1730: The Good Show Comes (Add. 5)

There have always been contradictions among the various branches of the US military.

At first, it was the navy and the army, and later the navy, the army, and the air force, and the contradictions in peacetime are contradictions, and it is absolutely intolerable to drag on at such a time.

In the past, it was okay to do something behind the scenes, but this time, it was a matter of life and death for the United States, and if the Navy wanted to make such a show, Arnold would never tolerate it.

Admiral Kim's face, with deep exhaustion, he looked at Arnold and said: "We know that the Germans regard Greenland as the next target, and we have also made a lot of preparations, and now, the battle has begun, if the Germans occupy Greenland without much effort, what does this mean?" ”

Hearing this, Arnold was stunned for a moment, indeed, he didn't seem to think so far.

"The Germans will know for sure that it was we who deliberately released the water, so how could the Germans not be vigilant? In which wars have the Germans suffered over the years? That Ciric is even more cunning than a fox. Admiral King said: "Even if we fail in the end, we must fail after heroic resistance, and we must let the Germans know our determination to defend Greenland, for which our navy must make great sacrifices, and we are all mentally prepared to sacrifice our navy voluntarily for the sake of the United States." ”

When he heard this, Arnold knew that he could no longer complain.

Yes, there are omissions in their own tactics, the most powerful thing in the United States now is the air force, if the German navy comes in a big way, but the air force does not desperately resist, then it is called wrong, it will definitely be recognized by the Germans, if they are psychologically prepared when they return home, it is very likely that the plan will not succeed!

Just when he wanted to nod, he saw the flickering expression of Nimitz, who was sitting at the back, and in an instant, his heart was like a mirror, Admiral Jin was spitting bitterness here, in fact, it was only one of them!

Of course, there was stubborn resistance, which made the Germans think that this was the reason for their real combat effectiveness, but at the same time there was another intention, what if the navy did it itself? Not much, even if only two aircraft carriers of the German Navy were destroyed, the German Navy would have to retreat.

Cunning guys!

Although Arnold knew in his heart, he could not say anything at this time, and could only wait quietly for Roosevelt.

This is a national war, and if it loses, the United States will face an even more terrible situation, and Roosevelt has a heavy pressure.

When the Navy put forward their plan to go all out, Roosevelt also approved it, this time, it was an all-out war, and the world must see the combat effectiveness of the United States!

In this world, as long as the United States is there, Germany will not be arrogant all the time!

The U.S. Navy dispatched 10 carrier-based air wings, totaling nearly 800 aircraft.

It is impossible for these planes to all be dispatched together, flying at the front is a group of old-fashioned F2A, yes, it was only in 37 years that the US Navy complacently thought that it was the most advanced aircraft carrier carrier-based aircraft, and now it is completely outdated, in the Pacific Ocean, it is simply impossible to seize air supremacy with the Zero fighters of the island country, let alone air combat with German fighters.

The F2A is just a decoy to attract German fighters to intercept it, so that they can consume their air defense forces and provide an opportunity for the attacking forces behind.

When it comes to operating aircraft carriers, the United States absolutely has the right to speak, and once the aircraft carriers are dispatched, after releasing the aircraft group, they lose most of their combat effectiveness, attracting their fighters to dispatch, and then, from other directions, launch the deadliest attack on the German navy!

Battleship Hindenburg.

This is the command ship of the entire formation, although the aircraft carrier has now become the main naval combat weapon, but any naval commander still likes to sit on a tall and mighty battleship, which is a traditional habitual thinking.

Raeder is taking a closer look.

"The Americans couldn't hold their breath anymore, and dispatched their fighters in a vain attempt to sneak attack our formation, but fortunately, we have sea eyes and discovered them in advance, and now, all our carrier-based planes will take off and kill all the American fighters!" Raeder's fists were clenched tightly, and this battle was destined to go down in history.

"Report." At this moment, an adjutant said: "Vice Admiral Machar suggested that the enemy situation is unknown, and we should not dispatch too many carrier-based aircraft, and at most release the carrier-based aircraft of two aircraft carriers, leaving more to deal with emergencies." ”

Had it not been for Raeder's enthusiastic personal arrival, the battle would have been commanded by Lieutenant General Machar.

Now Raeder commanded the entire fleet on the battleships, while Vice Admiral Machar was on the aircraft carrier Hitler behind, commanding the aircraft carrier formations.

When Raeder's order was given, Lieutenant General Machar immediately returned his opinion.

Although the US Navy's fleet has been discovered earlier, and the scale is more than 100, this is not necessarily the full strength of the United States, if all the carrier-based aircraft are released in advance at this time, and when the time comes, a large number of American planes will appear?

Eddell's excited face, the muscles suddenly shook, it was quite speechless to be proposed by a subordinate at such a time, but after a little embarrassment, he also realized his mistake in commanding like this.

"Order Lieutenant General Machar to take full command of this interception of the American warplane." Raeder was quick to make a decision.

In terms of commanding naval aviation, he is indeed not as professional as Vice Admiral Machar, and in such a situation, once his command is wrong, it may bring terrible consequences, and the empire cannot afford it.

Raeder could command the entire fleet, however, the command of specific aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft was delegated to Machar.

On the aircraft carrier Hitler, Vice Admiral Machar received the order of the flagship, and was quite happy, and in the direction of the Hindenburg, he saluted, Commander, just look at ours!

"Order the Count Zeppelin and the Munich, each take off 40 F190 fighters, go to intercept, and the other fighters, ready at any time."

Vice Admiral Machar was more cautious, and only 80 of the two aircraft carriers took off.

Generally speaking, interception operations should take off more fighters, only when the number exceeds the opponent, it is easy to stop all the opponents, as long as one of them slips through the net, it will fly over the fleet, in case one hits, it is enough for the German Navy to drink a pot.

However, Machar was not in a hurry, the news came from the front that this batch of planes was just a buffalo, and the main fighters of the United States had not yet moved!

The best is to come.
