Roosevelt sat in his office chair with a grim face, his eyes coldly scanning the several Navy chiefs in front of him.

"The first battle with the Chinese army is very important, and the fact that the Third Fleet will suffer such heavy losses has greatly affected the trust and support of our people.

It has dealt an even greater blow to the morale of the personnel of our armed forces, which is simply terrible! ”

Roosevelt gritted his teeth and roared.

Several naval chiefs held their military caps in one hand: Pig: Pig: Island: Novel 3w., and bowed their heads with a guilty face.

One of them said: "Mr. President, this air battle in Hokkaido has proved that the performance of our carrier-based aircraft is very backward compared to the Zero fighters equipped by the Chinese army.

Therefore, we must equip more advanced and powerful carrier-based aircraft to fight it and ultimately achieve victory. ”

"As far as I know, the active carrier-based aircraft of the naval aviation have just entered service, and this actual battle is their first battle, and this is a loss?" Roosevelt said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, but actual combat has shown that it really cannot compete with the active aircraft of the Chinese Air Force." The head of the navy said with a look of shame.

"Then hurry up and urge the aircraft manufacturers to develop more advanced new aircraft as soon as possible!" Roosevelt roared hoarsely.

"However, Mr. President, the development of a new type of fighter is not an overnight thing, from the beginning to the experiment, and then to the military service.

Before the new fighters are officially put into service, we will not be able to suppress the Chinese Navy and Air Force, and if we cannot obtain air supremacy, we will not be able to obtain sea supremacy.

Without air and sea supremacy, it is impossible to cut off the connection between China's first island chain and its mainland land.

Naturally, it will not be possible to launch an attack on the Chinese mainland, to destroy their war potential, and thus win this war. Another senior naval officer said.

Roosevelt looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"With all due respect, I think that before we can achieve absolute air and sea supremacy. We should suspend this dangerous offensive with no chance of winning.

By postponing the offensive plan until the new fighter enters service, we will be able to better operate the country's war machine and make the best preparations for this war with our huge war potential. The senior naval officer said with his head bowed.

When Roosevelt heard this, he immediately objected: "No, absolutely not, the war has already begun, how can our armed forces stop attacking because of this small defeat?"

In that case, the population, which has high hopes for the army, will lose their trust in us.

I will also lose credibility in front of the people of the whole country. ”

Roosevelt deliberately provoked the war. Naturally, the proposal of naval officials for a temporary truce would not be agreed.

That would be tantamount to acknowledging to the world that the U.S. military, which is strong enough to protect the security and integrity of U.S. citizens and territory, is no match for the Chinese military.

The entire Roosevelt administration would immediately lose its status in the eyes of the American people, and as a direct result, it could lead to the collapse of the Roosevelt Cabinet.

Therefore, he did not have to think about it at all, and categorically rejected the proposal of his subordinates.

Seeing this, the head of the navy, who spoke first, said in embarrassment: "If we continue to force the attack, maybe we will repeat the mistakes of the Pacific Fleet." Of course, I believe that this gap between fighters is only temporary, as long as we can concentrate our forces, I think we will be able to do it in the shortest possible time. Research a more advanced fighter, a new aircraft that can compete with the Zero.

In this way, we will reverse the superiority and inferiority of the enemy in the sky, seize air supremacy, and then help the navy to seize sea supremacy. Win this especially important war. ”

"Of course, if we can capture one or two Zeros, for our aircraft manufacturers. It should be of great help to them in developing targeted advanced combat opportunities. ”

"Capture the Zero? Can the Navy do it? Roosevelt asked.

The senior naval officer shook his head and said, "No, so far, we have not shot down a single Zero, and besides, in a naval battle, even if a Zero is shot down, we will not be able to capture it, because they have all crashed."

The best thing to do is to be able to send the army to attack the Chinese mainland from land and see if there are any Zero fighters that can be expected to capture the Chinese in the engagement. ”

"Attack from land?" When Roosevelt heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought that he was lobbying Britain, France, the Netherlands, and other old countries with colonies in the Far East to participate in the war.

A shortcut to attack China immediately came to mind, and it seemed that this was the best and only option for the Navy and Air Force to be unable to exert offensive results due to the temporary backwardness of their fighters.

China, Nanjing Nationalist Government, Office of the Chairman of the Military Commission.

"According to the news from Taiwan and Japan, the Americans have not made any movement in the past two days, could it be that they are engaged in some conspiracy?" Jiang Baili sat across from Zhang Xinghan's desk and said.

Zhang Xinghan smoked a cigarette, looked down at some important documents, and frowned: "Whether the conspiracy is a conspiracy or not is unknown for the time being, but the Yankees should be afraid of our air force, and may be stepping up the development of new fighters that can compete with our Zero." ”

"Then can we take some action, as the saying goes, offense is the best defense, do you think?" Jiang Baili said.

"Well, I think it's okay, and we can order the submarine force and the air force to take the initiative to attack, search for lone US warships and planes as much as possible, and strike at them." Zhang Xinghan nodded.

While the two were discussing, Guo Zhong, Zhang Xinghan's personal attendant adjutant and head of the Major General's Guard Regiment, suddenly walked in from outside.

After saluting the two of them, Guo Zhong said: "Commission, Mr. Chiang, Duke Zhou has received news from Germany that Hitler has ordered Guderian to command two army groups, more than one million ground troops and air force soldiers, to attack Poland from the Czech Republic and Austria (which had been incorporated into the Third Reich before).

Moreover, the German war machine was fully operational, and in a month at most, Germany would have amassed more than five million troops for a surprise attack on the Soviet Union. ”

Jiang Baili was not a traverser, and was obviously a little surprised by the Germans' ability and speed of war mobilization.

Zhang Xinghan smiled slightly and said: "Five million troops are enough for Lao Maozi to drink a pot, this time the Northwest Frontier Army at the beginning of the high school and the Northeast Frontier Army in Du Ting can relax and train on a large scale." ”

"Bench, did the Germans really have such a rapid mobilization capacity for war?" Jiang Baili was a little skeptical.

"Well, there is no doubt that since Hitler came to power, the Germans have developed very quickly, of course, they themselves have a good starting point, all kinds of industrial foundations, technologies have been mastered, and it is not surprising that they are developing quickly." Zhang Xinghan nodded.
