On the one hand, he planned to set up positions, just like the experience of many years in the past. On the other hand, he planned to use new ways to solve problems by relying on air power. Now, Eisenhower's words made everyone present feel disappointed.

German war has always been unconventional and led the trend of the whole era. Although there were various political factors for the failure of Britain and France, militarily, the Germans dominated military science and technology and promoted military reform. On the other hand, the French stuck to the Maginot line, resulting in a complete defeat in front of the German Blitz.

If the Germans attack the United States, they will certainly adopt this new tactic. If they just guard their territory in the past way, they will die miserably.

Eisenhower's proposal is a low-cost and efficient solution.

American people have been carrying out extensive flight activities for a long time. There are a large number of pilots and various flight clubs. This way of Americans is to hide soldiers from the people.

Just like the United States can't help the gun, on the surface, it is a symbol of freedom and democracy. In fact, it is to prepare for war. Once it really develops into the war of annihilation, every American people will be soldiers and can fight with a gun, while other countries need training.

This will undoubtedly enable them to have a strong counterattack ability when necessary.

The same is true for aviation.

In this era, the cost of building fighter planes is very low. Building a fighter plane is almost the same as building a tank. Therefore, the aircraft of various countries are often tens of thousands of aircraft, dense as locusts.

Not in future generations. Aircraft are high-tech products with low output and high cost. Moreover, a large amount of funds will be consumed for one take-off and landing. Even a powerful country will maintain the scale of thousands of aircraft, and a small country is only a few hundred.

It is the best way to use aircraft to resist enemy aggression.

When the German fleet arrives, it will face the attack of tens of thousands of American warplanes. Even if the Germans have a huge aircraft carrier formation, it is impossible to compare with the aviation power on land.

Imagine the scene when his fighter planes went to meet the enemy fleet. Roosevelt smiled.

During this time, the haze has been enveloping Roosevelt. The Soviets do not know how long they can persist, how much German force can be consumed, and how much deterrent to the United States when the Germans turn around to attack the United States. In short, the United States will usher in a terrible war for the first time.

Roosevelt often couldn't sleep. Thinking that the United States was about to face the overwhelming German fleet, he felt anxious in his heart. Today, it was the first time that he was a little calm.

Fight for aviation capability. Maybe you can beat them. This is the only chance for the United States to defeat the Germans!

"Let our staff prove it again." Roosevelt said, "I personally think it should be better to use the power of the air force."

Then Roosevelt said, "Marshall and groves, you stay. The others can go."

Roosevelt's words did not arouse any doubt. Since he denied Marshall's plan, Roosevelt always wanted to comfort Marshall, and groves, the Deputy Secretary of the U.S. construction department and the large-scale construction of the Atlantic defense line, came from him.

But the two understood it. Of course, it had nothing to do with it.

When everyone left, Roosevelt said slowly, "how's our project going?"

After hearing Roosevelt's words, groves said, "our project has made slow progress. After losing a large number of scientists, we have assembled a small number of experts. Up to now, even the design of nuclear reactor has not been completed."

Groves was worried.

He is the head of the Manhattan Project.

At the beginning, somehow, the Germans knew about the Oak Ridge base and carried out a terrible bombing, which almost cleaned up all American nuclear physics experts. Even those who were not in the Oak Ridge base were assassinated.

The Manhattan Project suffered a terrible blow and almost stopped. However, Roosevelt, who was determined, decided to continue.

The Germans did not hesitate to send out long-range bombers to destroy their Oak Ridge base and assassinate nuclear physicists. This shows that the Germans are afraid that the terrible weapons that can destroy the whole city can be made.

Therefore, driven by Roosevelt, groves continued to preside over the Manhattan Project, the location was more secret, fewer people knew, and the local meteorological conditions decided that it was not suitable for air strikes, and it was foggy all year round.

However, it seems that the progress is not fast.

"We can be sure that the German submarines that appear in the Arctic Ocean and move must be nuclear powered. They have unlimited endurance and can stay in the ice for a long time. We can even guess that they have not gone anywhere else, that is, they directly cross the water under the Arctic and go directly from German ports to the Bering Sea." Marshall also said: "the Germans have overcome many technical difficulties. In this regard, we are far behind."

The United States is backward, and the backward United States means that it will be far behind by the Germans. Once the Germans detonate the nuclear bomb, the United States has no choice but to surrender.

Unlike cloud bombs, cloud bombs can blow up a city, but they have to drop hundreds of them at the same time, and this terrible nuclear bomb only needs a bomber to throw one.

Our side is far behind because the main nuclear physics scientists have been killed.

Roosevelt's eyebrows reappeared. He silently lit the pot and smoked. The conference room was filled with smoke again.

When the smoke pot went out, Roosevelt finally made up his mind: "since we can't finish it ourselves, we might as well invite more scientists."

Hearing Roosevelt's words, the two people present were embarrassed. In order to regroup the team, they even pulled the students who had heard Fermi's report once. Where else did they go to find nuclear physics scientists? From the Germans?

"From the Soviet Union." "I don't believe there are no nuclear physics experts in the Soviet Union," Roosevelt said

Hearing Roosevelt's words, they were even more frightened. What happened to the president? Is the brain short circuited?

Manhattan Project is a project that needs extreme confidentiality. The fewer people you know, the better. Now, do you want the Soviets to participate?
