Armageddon at sea seemed inevitable. In addition www.biquge.info for the European Combined Fleet, which has superior fleet strength and aviation strength, and also has the two killer features of Type 21 U-boats and remote-controlled missiles, a decisive battle at sea is exactly what is desired.

However, superiority does not mean victory, because the decisive battle will be played too close to the east coast of the United States. The war was almost on the doorstep of the United States, so the U.S. Navy could be supported by a huge shore-based air force.

Moreover, the annihilation of the main forces of the American Atlantic Fleet was not the primary goal of the Combined European Fleet in the North Atlantic - the primary goal of the German forces was, of course, to seize the island of Newfoundland, or at least the Avalon Peninsula. This would allow them to have a large airfield on an island 1,700 kilometers from New York that can take off and land Me264 and He219.

And this means that Germany has the ability to carry out a nuclear strike on a large city on the East Coast of the United States, such as New York!

This means that the United States has completely lost the war! Because Germany had landed on the northeastern coast of North America, the United States, having lost the war, would not only have to pay huge reparations, but also Canada would "lose" (lose de facto control).

Moreover, it was impossible for Germany to retreat from Newfoundland, no matter how much reparations they received. In other words, the most prosperous areas of the United States will be under the deterrence of German strategic bombers for a long time.

As a result, the revival of the United States in the future will be extremely difficult!

Admiral Spruance, the joint commander of the Pacific-Atlantic Fleet, who flew from Panama to Washington, met the somewhat languishing president at the door of the just-opened White House bunker.

As soon as the president saw Spruance, he said to him: "General, this time we can't afford to lose again!" ”

Admiral Spruance, the "president...... knew the situation was difficult, but he did not know how to comfort Truman, and in the end he only gave him a respectful salute.

"Come with me," Truman patted "America's best naval commander" on the shoulder, "and let's visit the bunker first." ”

Truman was supposed to meet Admiral Spruance in the Oval Office or in the Cabinet room. But now he was at the door of the bunker on the east side of the White House bunker to greet the visiting admiral.

"I ordered the official opening of this place two hours ago......," Truman and a few of his close staff members descended the stairs with Spruance, and soon entered the basement level of the bunker located beneath the White House garden.

"It was ordered by President Roosevelt in 1942," Mr. Truman said, and several servicemen on duty saluted him, who gently raised his hand in return, "when we learned that the Germans were developing the atomic bomb." ”

They walked through a heavy door, and an elevator entrance appeared inside the door, and the elevator door opened. Truman walked in, then beckoned to Spruance and said, "Admiral, let's go down together...... My current office is on the 6th basement floor. There is a defense against the attack of the atomic bomb! ”

The bunker of the White House has a total of 6 floors, the deepest of which is located tens of meters deep underground, where the president himself rests and works. By design, a 200,000-ton nuclear bomb could not destroy it. In 1945, it was absolutely safe.

Spruance felt the elevator descending rapidly, which made him feel as if he was inside a battleship (battleships usually have elevators). But now he is in the White House, the brains of the United States of America!

"Mr. President," he couldn't help but ask, "do we really need this?" ”

"No," Truman paused, "it's the worst and the last option...... But sometimes the worst and last option becomes the only option! ”

What Truman meant was that the United States could still sue for peace—while the Germans had not yet established themselves on the Avalon Peninsula. Now with 500 billion euromarks of gold, silver and all kinds of materials, you can still buy peace!

Just before Truman gave the order to open the White House bunker, Kennedy, who was far away in Chicago, called and told Mussolini that he could immediately bring about peace, at the cost of 500 billion reparations, complete withdrawal from South America (continental), Canadian neutrality, and Panama co-rule......

The conditions are harsh, but not unacceptable!

However, now that the Democratic Party is a minority in Congress, if it wants to pass the resolution of "betraying the country to seek glory," it must reach a fatal deal with the Republican Party -- repeal all the new laws and regulations, and let the consortium behind the Republican Party become the masters of the United States again!

The Democratic Party itself will collapse as a result, and the political map will be divided between the Republicans, the Fascists, and the Bolsheviks.

A president who is infamous as a traitor and does not have the support of a strong political party will undoubtedly be impeached and removed from office after completing the "traitorous mission" and become a scapegoat for the failure of the United States, and may even be imprisoned!

So after Truman's second thought, the choice was to use the White House bunker that could withstand the atomic bomb!

"Mr. President," Spruance muttered for a moment, "it will win, and the Navy will win......

"Win?" Truman glanced at Spruance, "Admiral, do you know what it takes to win?" ”

What does it mean to win?

Spruance suddenly found this question difficult to answer. Truman asked himself: "Is it a win to sink 10 or 15 German aircraft carriers?" If Newfoundland falls into their hands, Washington, D.C., will be flattened by a superbomb in two weeks at most, and perhaps the Hudson Estuary (near New York) will also be hit by a ...... Do you know what that means? ”

"President, I see......" Spruance nodded with some difficulty.

At this moment, the elevator stopped abruptly, and then the door opened, revealing Spruance in front of a low, oppressive, dark and stuffy hall.

Truman and Spruance walked into the hall one after the other, and then walked together towards the president's office. There, Secretary of War Wallace, Chief of the Presidential Staff, William Brown, Chief of Staff of the President. Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations Ernest Brown. Kim and Army Chief of Staff Marshall have been waiting for a long time.

……

Ludwig. Feng. Marshal Heinsberg-Hersmann also walked into Adolf at this time, together with Admiral Raeder and Air Marshal Kesselring. Hitler's chancellor's office.

Hitler personally greeted the three marshals inside the gates, and next to him stood German Defense Minister Schleicher.

"We're victorious, aren't we?" Adolph. Hitler seemed very excited, and after shaking hands with the three visiting men, he immediately asked, "Keitel [Hitler's chief military adjutant] told me that more than 20,000 German officers and soldiers have landed on the island of Newfoundland...... This means victory in the final battle! ”

"This means the beginning of the final battle!" Hersmann told Hitler, "In the next few days, the final victory and defeat will be determined in this world war, which has lasted for almost six years!" ”

"So in a few days we can occupy Newfoundland and defeat the main force of the US Navy?" Defense Minister Schleicher asked.

"We just need to occupy the Avalon Peninsula." Hersman replied, "The General Staff has studied and decided that we can win the war by simply capturing the Avalon Peninsula." Because the Avalon Peninsula is just over 1700 kilometers from New York and just over 2100 kilometers from Washington, both within the combat radius of Me264. If you want to attack New York, you can also send He219 escorts. ”

Several people walked as they spoke, and finally stood in front of a huge map hanging on the wall. This is a map of the northeastern part of North America, symbolizing the German Empire's presence on the Avalon Peninsula and the southern part of the Labrador region on the island of Newfoundland.

In addition, on the map of the North Atlantic near Newfoundland and Labrador, there are several ship stickers with swastika markings, which symbolize several task forces of the European Combined Fleet.

"Just need to capture the Avalon?" Hitler looked at the map and asked, "Seems easy to do, isn't it?" ”

"It's not easy," said Commander-in-Chief Raeder, "and the main force of the U.S. Navy has been present in the ocean near New York, and it is estimated that it includes a large number of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft." The main force of the Canadian Navy also departed from Quebec (Quebec City) and has now entered the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Therefore, the subsequent landing operations will be carried out under the interference of the US and Canadian maritime forces.

In addition, the U.S. allied forces were also extremely well defended on the island of Newfoundland, with a large number of coastal batteries. There is a huge naval fort near Concepson Bay, where the planned landing is planned, and intelligence indicates that 406mm cannons are deployed there, and there are a large number of mines at the entrance to the bay, which will take some time for our fleet to enter. ”

Hitler nodded and said to Hersmann: "Reich Marshal, this is the final decisive battle, we must guarantee victory, otherwise all the previous efforts and efforts will be in vain." ”

"I understand!" "That's what I'm here for, Mr. Prime Minister," Hersman said. He paused, and his tone became very serious, "In order to ensure victory, the General Staff of the Wehrmacht wants to get permission to use the atomic bomb!" Atomic bomb...... It will be the ultimate killer feature for us to ensure victory! ”

The use of the atomic bomb was part of the "Gochburg Plan", and the main components of the atomic bomb had been secretly delivered to the Esgra de Marsmo de Marbuti base in the Azores, and the bomber brigade responsible for dropping the atomic bomb was ready.

But the use of the atomic bomb was not something Hersman could decide alone, and the General Staff he headed could only make a request to approve the use of the power in the hands of Chancellor Adolf. In the hands of Hitler (Hitler had only the power to approve, not the power to propose the use of the plan).

"What? The use of an atomic bomb? Hitler was stunned, "Naval fortresses used to bomb the Americans?" ”

"The naval fort is just one of the targets," Hersman said, "and there are other options." ”

Hitler's brow furrowed and he asked, "Are the other options including the big cities of the United States, New York and Boston?" ”
