Balloons are very easy to deal with. As long as you shoot a few bullets at them with a fighter, you can solve them. If you have to say a difficult problem, it is how to find it. After all, it is at an altitude of 10000 meters.
In short, since the existence of this weapon has been found, we must be able to find a solution to it. Roosevelt didn't have to give instructions on any details, just mention the macro treatment.
To appease one's own emotions, not to cause panic, and to deceive the islanders into believing that these balloons were useless, this was Roosevelt's strategy.
Some small balloons are not worth Roosevelt's too much worry. Now for Roosevelt, the most important thing is still the duel with Germany. If Midway Island is solved, the trouble on his back will be solved. Concentrate on dealing with the Germans!
"Our intelligence system has observed that the Germans are planning a large military operation recently. The operation code name is operation ice." Said Donovan Roosevelt.
"Is the information true?" Roosevelt's question, with deep meaning.
Donovan is responsible for all military intelligence. Every time, he thinks he has accurately found what he needs. As a result, he is taken to the ditch by the Germans and fights with Reinhart, a young guy. Donovan always suffers.
Now, the president's questioning with suspicion made Donovan's face turn red in an instant: "Mr. President, if there is any mistake in this intelligence, please transfer me away and send me to the battlefield."
Can't you always be fooled? Donovan has been very careful. If the information is wrong again, he might as well go to the front and become a Death Squadron. He doesn't need any information.
"If only you knew." Roosevelt said, "tell me."
"Here's our guess." Donovan continued.
"Wait, where's your intelligence?" Roosevelt asked, just said a few words, the following is a guess?
"Our intelligence is operation ice." Donovan said: "so far, we can only determine the name of this intelligence."
For a long time, intelligence is operation ice? Roosevelt frowned. Only by knowing himself and the enemy can he win every battle. Although old Roosevelt had not studied Sun Tzu's art of war, he also knew this truth. Now his eyes are black and he doesn't know anything!
"Tell me." After waiting a few minutes, Roosevelt slowed down and spoke to Donovan.
"We believe that the Germans are about to land in Greenland, and then use Greenland as a springboard to attack Canada. We must strengthen the defense of the north." Donovan said.
In fact, Donovan's inferences can't be called inferences. These days, research has been carried out every day in the White House. What is the German strategic goal?
After everyone's unanimous judgment, taking Greenland is the most convenient and effective way.
Greenland is next to Iceland. German planes take off from Iceland and warships start from Iceland. It's like walking in front of your home. Greenland is cold and there can't be too many soldiers stationed. If the Germans attack on a large scale, they can conquer Greenland.
In this way, with Greenland as a springboard, we can continue to fight Canada. After landing from Canada, the German army can stage a scene in Europe.
In the past, they just inferred that after the German occupation of Iceland, the plan seemed to be getting closer and closer. Now Donovan has received accurate intelligence, called operation ice.
Where is the ice? Greenland, of course! Therefore, when he got the name, Donovan knew that the German's next step must be to occupy Greenland.
The Germans passed through Canada. In this way, the Atlantic defense line painstakingly arranged in the United States even lost its function. At the thought of here, the people present were itching: "our Atlantic defense line!"
"Just relying on the defense line is not enough." Roosevelt was very open-minded. It was a fantasy to expect that project to stop the Germans. Just look at Europe.
Through the shell of that project, so much money flows to where they really need them, which is an important purpose.
"Now is a good opportunity." Arnold, a member of the Joint Chiefs of staff, said: "don't we always expect to destroy the German Navy? Now, the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the German Navy has come! "
Greenland is not so easy to conquer. In the past, Iceland was caught off guard just because the United States did not notice. Now, it will not make previous mistakes.
The United States has also had experience. In the last midway naval battle, although midway was finally occupied by the islanders, it sank the island's main fleet. When its own bomber formation appeared with special bombs, the attack on their surface ships was quite effective.
The tactics of last time can be repeated this time!
The US Navy suffered heavy losses, but the army aviation has been expanding. Now that we know the German's next goal and prepare in advance, we can certainly achieve the goal.
"No, the Germans are quite vigilant, their naval formation is also very strong, and there are enough land-based long-range fighters. If we send bombers directly, we will suffer heavy losses." At this time, Marshall on one side raised his objection.
If the attack on the island country can succeed, it will not work on Germany. The two are not of the same order of magnitude at all. Before the American bombers arrived, a large number of German fighters must have intercepted them.
We should not despise the enemy. This is a lesson learned in exchange for blood and life. Whoever despises the Germans will die miserably.
At the beginning, Nimitz proposed to deploy a large number of warplanes in Greenland and counter sneak attacks on the Germans when the Germans came. What was the result? German bombers came first and blew up the air force base in Greenland. It was cold and had not been repaired. If you want to support, you can only take off from the nearby Canadian base.
"Yes, even if we take off and bomb before the German Navy arrives, we will fail because the other side is too vigilant." Arnold is good at summing up. Some recent experiences have proved the vigilance of the Germans: "if we want to make a sneak attack successfully, we can only wait until they land in Greenland and return."
After landing, when these words were said, the people present were stunned. What if the Germans landed in Greenland? The whole Greenland will become German territory, and then use it as a springboard?
If Greenland is lost, the United States will face a direct threat, typical cold lips and teeth.
Now Arnold is saying that there is hope only after giving up Greenland, which is unacceptable.
"No, absolutely not. In anti landing operations, we must keep the enemy on the beach. If the enemy lands, there is almost no hope of winning." Nimitz said.
This is the simplest truth. You can't even hold a beach. When the most elite German infantry come up, you still expect to push the enemy back into the sea?
"Can we stop it?" Arnold asked.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
