The Germans must aim at the United States. The Germans will not only be satisfied with conquering the whole Europe. The goal of the Germans is to conquer the whole world. Therefore, under this setting, the United States must go all out.

After hearing Roosevelt's words, general Ernst and Marshall, who were mainly in charge, reported separately.

"Now, the five aircraft carriers we have made in the shipyard are in the final outfitting stage. When the five attack aircraft carriers are completed and launched, we can breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, more than 20 aircraft carriers are under construction."

Ernst Joseph King, five-star admiral of the United States Navy, Secretary of naval command and commander in chief of the United States Fleet in World War II, and one of the members of the Joint Chiefs of staff of the United States. In these positions, he is the supreme leader of the U.S. Navy, directly responsible to the president and guiding the operations and strategy of the U.S. Navy.

Now, although the U.S. Navy is fighting with the island Navy in the Pacific, in fact, the U.S. Navy does not pay attention to the island Navy. The navy is a branch of arms fighting for comprehensive national strength. The military industry of the island country can not support it at all. As long as the main warship of the island Navy is killed in a decisive naval battle, the island Navy will be abolished.

But Germany is different. Germany integrates the whole Europe and has a shipbuilding industry that exceeds that of the United States. The speed of dumplings under German warships is faster than that of the United States. The United States must pay attention to it.

The Atlantic defense line is not only on the coastline. If it can win a decisive naval battle in the Atlantic, the United States can protect its homeland security.

Therefore, the first is the expansion of the Navy.

"Five, not enough." Roosevelt couldn't help saying.

These five are real attack aircraft carriers, not escort aircraft carriers. The United States has also started to build a large number of escort aircraft carriers, but they all know the combat effectiveness of that aircraft carrier.

"If we stop supporting the Soviet Union and put all our forces at home, we can greatly increase the production of our warships." Ernst said.

Reinforcing the Soviet Union also involves the energy of the United States itself.

Hearing his words, Roosevelt's eyes flashed, then it darkened again and stopped supporting the Soviet Union? The Soviet Union will soon collapse. The Soviet Union is buying more time for the United States to help the Soviet Union, that is, to help the United States. Unfortunately, the German submarines are too powerful.

"We will arrange our naval barriers in the North Atlantic. If the German fleet rushes to our coastline, it must be that our fleet is gone." Ernst continued.

The navy is determined to protect the United States. If the Germans want to attack the United States, they must first defeat the American Atlantic Fleet.

Roosevelt nodded, and the naval department's report was temporarily over. Then Marshall continued to speak.

"We are carrying out a huge project of the Atlantic defense line, which is almost comparable to the great wall of China. We have built a coastal defense along the Atlantic coastline, mainly with 406 heavy artillery and 380 heavy artillery as the core. If the German fleet wants to land, it must risk heavy casualties."

Shore defense guns are still the main means of defense in this era. If the other party wants to land, it must have landing ships. It's not so easy to grab the beach and land!

"At the same time, we will build a mobile defense position every 50 kilometers and deploy a mixed tank force of the army. We will go wherever there is a war."

Marshall talked endlessly that this set of fortifications occupied the huge budget of the United States. Now, everyone has a hunch that the United States will be poor after the war, but as long as the United States still exists, it is worth it!

What's more, if you really encounter a situation, you can use the gold existing in the United States in some European countries!

The defense line presided over by Marshall seemed to have a model, but General Eisenhower could not help frowning.

"Marshall, have you studied the case of the last German cross sea landing in Iceland?" Eisenhower couldn't help speaking.

"Of course." Marshall said.

"Then why do you take it for granted!" Eisenhower said: "the German landing means have long been at the forefront of the times. They have hovercraft, which can fly on the sea. They will fly directly over all kinds of barriers we set on the coastline. At the same time, they also have vertical takeoff and landing helicopters that can attack us."

"Even if we don't say that, the Germans also have a large number of aircraft carrier formations and bombers. The first round of attack by the Germans must be to dispatch their bombers to attack our coastal artillery positions."

"Yes, so we will deploy enough anti-aircraft guns near our coastal artillery positions so that they will never come back!"

The two argued. The others had not seen the way. What did Eisenhower want to say?

"Anti aircraft guns are useless. The Germans have guided bombs that can be thrown at high altitude and accurately hit the top of our shore defense guns." Eisenhower said, "it is useless for us to spend a lot of money to build such a defense line."

This made Marshall blush. Marshall had tried his best to build this defense line. Even the following had been opened. This defense line was called Marshall defense line, which could be said to be the masterpiece of his life. Once the war was over, Marshall would be famous in history. Now, it was said to be worthless by Eisenhower.

"Then what should we do?" Marshall asked. You said my plan couldn't work. You'd better come out!

"Use all the resources to build aircraft." Eisenhower said: "we spend a lot of resources to make so many heavy guns, which can only be easily destroyed by German bombers. The only way is to use fighters. When the Germans arrived, we used fighters like locusts to meet them. We shot down their planes in the air, and our attack planes and torpedo planes blew up their warships. As long as we kept our sky, we kept our coastline. "

At present, the U.S. Air Force has not been independent. It belongs to the army air force. It is not surprising that Eisenhower is a general of the army.

After entering the command department, Eisenhower had unlimited close cooperation with Marshall in history, but now, for the interests of the United States, he did not hesitate to have a debate with Marshall. At the risk of being relegated and leaving the command department, we can't let this meaningless project continue.
