Hearing Roosevelt's question, Jeffrey smiled: "Mr. President, we have long considered this issue."
With that, Jeffrey took out a new design drawing, which is the design scheme of a small boat.
"This is the model we intend to trial produce. It is about 20 meters long. For our technical verification, we stick wooden boards on the outside, asphalt on the inner bulkhead and pipe ventilation holes on the hull. In this way, the ship can spend the summer safely."
Jeffrey said vigorously: "then, we have more drawings. For example, after this experiment is completed, we can start the construction of warships. This is our 2 million ton aircraft carrier design sketch."
2 million tons? Roosevelt was shocked when he heard the data.
Now, how heavy is the largest warship? Absolutely no more than 100000 tons! The 200 ton class is already a terrible existence against the sky. It is no longer a warship at all. It is simply a floating military base!
"In our preliminary plan, the aircraft carrier is 900 meters long, 100 meters wide and about 60 meters high. It uses 26 propeller propellers. At the same time, it also has refrigerator equipment. When our ship is damaged, as long as the refrigerator starts, the damaged place can be repaired. At the same time, this aircraft carrier can take off and land not only ordinary fighters, but also bombers. "
When the length of the aircraft carrier reaches 900 meters, of course, you can do something you want to do. In those days, the B-25 can take off from the narrow aircraft carrier deck. Now, when it is expanded to this length, of course, you can take off and land easily. Even the B-29 is not a dream.
If this aircraft carrier is deployed, the United States can attack Germany more flexibly. Roosevelt felt his heart beating at the thought of this.
As a president, Roosevelt should be mature and steady, but now it is different. During this period of time, the atmosphere of pessimism has been spreading. After Germany conquered Moscow, it seems that the ocean can not stop the pace of German aggression.
Now, the emergence of ice aircraft carrier once again gives them hope of victory.
"Congress will turn to funding to immediately find a suitable Lake in Canada and build this pilot. If there is no problem with the verification project, start manufacturing this ice aircraft carrier. This project has the highest priority."
Roosevelt was very excited. He seemed to see hundreds of such ice aircraft carriers, riding the wind and waves in the Atlantic and moving towards the European continent. There was no need to find a suitable land as a springboard. This floating ice aircraft carrier was a springboard.
Even if it moves slower, it is a pretty good weapon platform.
Just when Roosevelt was excited about the ice aircraft carrier, Arnold had returned to his headquarters. Now, the big thing in front of them was the large-scale bombing.
The bombing of Midway Island was not difficult. Although the first bombing failed, the route was already familiar. It was enough to change the bombing from daytime to night and send a bomber brigade again.
The point is how to bomb Europe.
When making plans with Roosevelt, it was very simple. They pretended to be airliners with the help of civil aviation routes, but now they need to subdivide the plan, which route to choose, how many planes to dispatch, and where to target.
Moreover, they have a very serious problem.
There are not many planes they can use.
When Germany bombed Scarpa Bay, it was a successful example. Although junker-290 was used to pretend to be a civil airliner, they were only the first wave. After that, a large number of aircraft came one wave after another, including aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers and medium-range bombers.
However, there are not many bombers they can use.
If you want to simulate an airliner, it's a one-way flight. The current flight range of B-29 is definitely not enough to travel directly from the United States to Europe. It's only a one-way flight.
Therefore, if they want to complete the bombing mission, they must carefully plan the route. For example, they take off from Newfoundland, the easternmost island in Canada, fly at high latitudes, wait until they approach Europe, and then fly to the international route, and then pretend to be civil aircraft to bomb the ports of Britain, France and Spain, focusing on attacking their shipyards, and then, Further north, return to Greenland.
Even so, only B-29 bombers have this capability, and so far, the total number of bombers they have mobilized will not exceed 100.
If the special bomb is used, it should have a good bombing effect, but Roosevelt has his own strategic considerations and will not use that bomb, while the ordinary bomb has a poor effect and can play a role of harassment, but it may not be completely destroyed.
Moreover, there is only one chance. The next time, the Germans will certainly have higher attention.
"If we take off from Greenland, medium range bombers will reach Britain and France. However, the Germans have occupied Iceland. They must have deployed long-range radar in Iceland. As long as they take off from Greenland, they will be monitored by the Germans. "
The staff were making various considerations, and Arnold knew that time was running out and a decision had to be made.
"In two waves, the bomber taking off from Greenland flew at an ultra-low altitude, dodged Icelandic radar and climbed again." Arnold said: "use another 100 B-25, so that 200 bombers can paralyze their shipyard for several months."
A number of high-altitude flights, posing as civil airliners, anyway, the radar in this era is backward. As long as it is a dense formation, what you see is just a point.
At the same time, another group of ultra-low altitude flights can sneak into nearby Britain and France.
German air defense is too tight, but they can't keep all places tightly, can they?
This is almost a copy of the sneak attack in Scarpa Bay. With Arnold's approval, the bomber troops of the U.S. Army Air Force began to prepare intensively.
Germany, the enemy of the United States, has launched many attacks on the United States, and now, finally, the American bomber forces are going to bomb the German controlled areas!
At the same time, the 58th bomber wing stationed on the west coast of the United States also began to prepare for a new mission. They are going to avenge the islanders. This time, they must blow up midway!
The 444th bomber brigade is the first B-29 bomber unit that has completed night takeoff and landing training. Now, they are about to take off.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
