The power of foreign affairs and national defense is not important to Iceland now.
When Germany has a garrison, the power of diplomacy and national defense is of course in the hands of Germany. Now it is only nominally given to Denmark. Isn't it still the Germans talking behind?
What Germany wants is this attitude. At the same time, the real benefits Iceland gets are true. Fishery resources and jobs will significantly improve Iceland's economy. Compared with the fact that Americans only garrison troops, the benefits given by Germany are huge enough to make neutral Iceland completely submit to Germany.
As long as they first agree, the Parliament can basically pass, which is good for Iceland after all. After the Americans have made such a move, the Icelandic parliament should know who is more reliable.
From Germany's attack to Iceland's obedience to German control, it did not take more than 36 hours. Germany once again created a miracle.
After all, unlike before, this is a real cross sea landing, even a rehearsal of attacking the United States. The landing mode of the German Navy is even more eye opening and unheard of.
The use of hovercraft to rush to the beach at high speed and the use of helicopters to quickly open up the battlefield behind the enemy have completely left behind the traditional landing operations in the past.
Americans are surprised that they care more about the way they land than Iceland changes hands. Just as Germany used tanks to organize blitz and create a new military theory, Germany also opened a new era in cross sea landing.
"Damn it, what's the matter with the Germans? They can make so many new tricks." Eisenhower said, "where are our technicians? When can we copy the same? "
As an important staff member of the military command, he came to personally report to the president the great progress made by his side in the anti tank field. After his report was completed, he heard the latest news about the Icelandic campaign. Everything could not be hidden, and the German means were exposed.
Hearing this, Eisenhower couldn't help sighing.
General Nimitz, 56, also felt deeply: "yes, the German landing in Iceland is like a rehearsal."
Everyone knows what he means. Today the Germans can land in Iceland, tomorrow they may land in Greenland, and the day after tomorrow they will arrive in the United States!
"Our Atlantic defense line is very fragile in the face of such landing operations." Marshall is also big.
The war in the Pacific was not going well. Although the aircraft carrier of the island country was sunk, the islanders landed on Midway Island, which was like planting a nail under the eyes of the Americans.
The United States is preparing to continue to fight on Midway Island and drive the islanders away, but in the Atlantic, there is such bad news. Are the Germans going to take advantage of their tension in the Pacific to launch a war against the United States?
Before the end of the Soviet war, did the Germans dare to fight on two fronts and start the war mode with the United States? This is too arrogant, too terrible.
The United States has a long coastline in the Atlantic. Deploying defense on these coastlines will involve great energy of the United States. At the same time, there is nothing they can do.
Other people's helicopters land directly behind your defense line and systematically put down the troops. Although they do not carry tanks, helicopters are enough to be flying tanks and provide fire support. Such a combination is quite terrible.
How should the United States respond?
Roosevelt did not speak. His eyes were firm. The situation was not so bad. Moreover, no matter how bad, he believed that there was a solution. God would not abandon the last free world.
"I think we should increase our investment in aviation." Just then Arnold, who had not spoken, spoke.
For the United States, it has vigorously developed its navy, but it is restrained by the islanders. No matter how many newly built warships are sent to the Pacific, it originally thought that the Germans would not start the mode of destroying the United States before defeating the Soviet Union. Who knows that the Germans dare to be so arrogant.
Naval stormtroopers take time. By contrast, aviation soldiers are much easier. In this era, the cost of building an aircraft is the same as that of a tank.
Arnold is a supporter of aviation power. In his opinion, aviation will dominate the future. At the same time, practice also began to prove this truth. In the Pacific, battleships did not play a great role. The matching of aircraft carriers and carrier based aircraft has become the mainstream. This is almost the case in several naval battles.
As long as our side arranges a large number of fighters, it can hinder the landing of the Germans. How can their helicopters fight against the fighters?
"Go on." Roosevelt's eyes lit up.
"As long as we set up a forward aviation base within 100 kilometers of the coastline, we can effectively prevent them from landing. At the same time, it is easy to take care of each other. In case one airport is bombed, other airports can also take off to meet the enemy, even field airports, so that the Germans can't find it. It's not so easy for the Germans to cross the sea to land, Our land-based fighters will cost the Germans a lot. Isn't that what we did in the naval formation against the islanders? "
Yes, the situation in Iceland is different from that in the United States. Iceland was unprepared and surrounded by sea. The Germans were easy to hide. At that time, because there were not enough water reconnaissance planes, they lacked key observation.
It's different in the United States. It's no problem to monitor the waters 500 kilometers ahead of the coastline, and it's no problem to arrange a large number of aviation bases. If the Germans dare to come, greet them with their own fighters!
Even if guided bombs are not enough, at least the tactics of floating have been proved to be successful in practical combat.
Building warships takes a lot of man hours, and the time required by aviation is much shorter.
"For now, we still need to face the island countries first." Roosevelt opened his mouth: "although the Germans beat Iceland, it is impossible to launch an attack on our mainland immediately. Their army is in the Soviet Union. We concentrate our naval forces and continue to deal with the island countries. At the same time, we send aviation troops to guard our Atlantic coastline first. When the island countries are solved, we will fight a decisive battle with the German Navy."
Roosevelt's visionary strategy is fully in line with the current United States.
At the same time, relying on aviation is no problem. It is not so easy for Germans to land on their own territory.
Unfortunately, he would never have thought that the Germans had a plan of action completely beyond their imagination. Now all this is completely misleading Americans.
