It takes time to build warships. After all, even for escort aircraft carriers, the shortest construction period takes several months, while attacking aircraft carriers takes seven or eight months without a year. This is the fastest.

Several ships were about to be built, but they were bombed again. The U.S. Navy was almost crying. Now Nimitz gave an idea.

Since we can't get enough naval fleets in a short time to build the U.S. Navy as powerful as Germany, let's just pull the German Navy to the same level as us.

Building warships takes a long time, but building aircraft is fast.

In this era, aircraft and tanks are almost the same, but unlike later aircraft, they are so expensive. A country with hundreds of aircraft is a big country, and there are often tens of thousands of aircraft.

The German's next step must be to sneak attack Greenland. Then, just set up an ambush in Greenland or nearby to attack the German fleet!

Nimitz's proposal won everyone's approval, and Roosevelt had an idea. In that case, he simply didn't copy some German examples. In the past, the German air raid on Scarpa Bay was definitely the most wonderful!

Why not organize the same air raid from Greenland and blow up the German Navy base? As long as several of their aircraft carriers are bombed and sunk, the United States will usher in a short time of peace and have enough breathing opportunities.

Roosevelt was excited when he thought of this, and his face flushed, as if his life had radiated the second spring, that is, why didn't he think of it?

Sneak attack on the German fleet and turn the world around in one fell swoop!

Roosevelt's mind suddenly came up with this idea and couldn't take it back. Looking at his staff, Roosevelt blurted out: "how about we sneak attack on the German naval base? Sink the German warship in the harbor. "

Recently, Roosevelt seemed to be too eager for quick success and instant benefits. His mind was full of wild ideas. For example, he was going to bomb Moscow. Fortunately, he followed suit and eventually intercepted on the route.

Now, facts have proved that their side has fallen into a trap. The Germans have long known their actions like the back of their hands. They have been attacked secretly. If they go to bomb Moscow, they don't know how much they will lose!

Now, Roosevelt didn't learn a lesson. He was going to sneak into a German naval base!

Can this succeed?

Germany's sneak attack on Scarpa Bay is because Scarpa Bay is isolated around, far from the British mainland and surrounded by water on three sides. Its geographical location determines that it is easy to be sneak attacked.

However, the bases in Germany are different. The German naval bases are mainly in the north of Germany and along the North Sea. Because Britain, Denmark and other countries were conquered by Germany, this is the depth of the territory. Our bomber group flew all the way from Greenland and must have been found far away.

Along the way, Germany had enough to arrange six or seven interceptors, causing heavy losses to American bomber forces.

Ten thousand steps back, even if you fly to the German naval base, what can you do? You may not be able to find German warships. Now, near German ports, there is a tight blockade. You don't know how many ships stay inside or whether there is an aircraft carrier, unless you send out air reconnaissance.

But as long as you go out, it will definitely scare the snake.

German classic tactics, where easy to copy!

Nimitz frowned and explained the problems to Roosevelt. Fortunately, Roosevelt frowned and listened.

"Yes, it seems that we must be careful." Roosevelt said: "the Navy should demonstrate how likely it is to sneak attack on the German base. When necessary, we can't be afraid of sacrifice. Just like Doolittle's sneak attack on Tokyo, if our operation can succeed, it will greatly boost our morale."

Roosevelt looked at it from a political point of view. After Germany conquered the Soviet Union, I'm afraid there was an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment in the United States. Once everyone thought it was impossible to win, it was likely that he would really lose.

We must use a victory to improve people's self-confidence!

"Mr. President, I have another good idea." In Nimitz's mind, a plan has long been brewing: "although the cross era big bomb developed by introducing technology from the Soviet Union can not be used in combat with the Germans, it is only for deterrence, but it should be no problem for the island countries and our invaded Midway Island? If we solve the problem of the island countries, we can do our best to deal with Germany. "

Everyone opened their mouths with incredible eyes.

……

The meeting lasted several hours and determined various action plans. When everyone else left, Roosevelt left Marshall and groves again.

"Mr. President, our Manhattan Project has been restarted." Groves said, "those Russians have now devoted themselves to their work. They are working hard to build our nuclear bomb as soon as possible."

Roosevelt nodded: "we have no time. Now, I am looking forward to our nuclear bomb every day. Once the Germans build it first, we will completely lose the hope of victory."

If there were a nuclear bomb, the German thermobaric bomb would definitely be thrown down without scruples. Now it has just become a new balance. The United States does not use it and Germany does not use it, just like the previous poison gas bomb.

But a nuclear bomb would upset that balance.

"In addition to nuclear bombs, we have to develop rockets." Roosevelt said: "the Germans paraded in Moscow and showed their latest missiles. We need the same weapons if we can hit us across half the earth."

Roosevelt had a hunch that if this ballistic missile was equipped with a nuclear warhead or a thermobaric warhead, it would be a disaster, because it could not be intercepted at all!

Originally, Robert Goddard could be the leader of American rockets. Unfortunately, he was taken away by the Germans more than ten years ago. At that time, the Germans began to develop rockets, but their own side knew nothing!

Unfortunately, the United States has no experts in this field.

In later generations, American rocket technology began with German V-2 missiles. Braun, a scientist who has worked for Germany for more than ten years, changed and became the father of American rockets. It is ironic.

"We lack experts in this field, but we have heard that the Soviets have experts in this field. They are also secretly developing rockets. Two of them, Korolev and Grushko, are leaders of rockets and engines." Marshall said, "if we can get them here, we can set up this stall."

Although a large number of Soviet scientists have been invited to visit the United States, the prisoners in the prison are not counted. Now, both of them are still working in prison No. 4 in Siberia.

Roosevelt's eyes turned. "Well, we can find a way to get them here! Stalin needs our support even more now. Moreover, the Soviets have no scientific research ability at all. Only we can get this kind of thing out! "
