Can you stop it? This is really a problem. None of the veterans present dare to pat their chest and say they can defend Greenland.

Greenland, the largest island in the world, covers an area of 2166086 square kilometers. The distance from piridi in the north to Cape Fawer in the south is 2574 kilometers, the widest part is about 1290 kilometers, and the total length of the coastline is more than 35000 kilometers.

If the geographical location is suitable, it is definitely a place with a large population, but in fact, it is only settled by tens of thousands of people. The whole island is cold all year round, which is a typical cold zone climate. The temperature in coastal areas can reach above zero in summer, and the inland part is frozen all year round.

In such a place, it is impossible to arrange too many troops, and supplies will collapse.

Since it is impossible to deploy too many troops, once the Germans attack, as long as the Germans spare no expense, they will certainly be able to fight down.

Greenland cannot be defended.

Arnold's plan is obvious now.

Let the Germans attack Greenland first. Under the strong German offensive, Greenland was conquered and the follow-up troops went up. In this way, the German main fleet should retreat.

When they attack, their vigilance must be the highest, and a sneak attack is almost impossible, but it is different when they retreat. As long as they are careless, their bomber forces can achieve results!

Using Greenland as a price in exchange for a devastating blow to the German fleet is like losing the island and destroying the fleet in midway World War I. is it worth it?

The people present were lost in thought again.

Greenland is of great importance. It is impossible for the German army to be stationed on a large scale. It is also a springboard. For example, fighters taking off from the air force base in Greenland can easily support their battle of landing in Canada across the sea. This is the advantage of the springboard.

However, the current problem is also obvious. As long as the Germans do not hesitate to pay any price, Greenland can not be defended. At best, some more people will die.

Many Germans died, and so did the United States. This is mutual.

Arnold is another view. He aims to attack the other party's fleet. After the other party successfully lands, especially after occupying the aviation base on the island, he will relax. Then there will be an opportunity.

Now, how do you choose?

Roosevelt did not dare to make a direct choice. The relationship was too big. We must consider whether to give up Greenland after making great sacrifices, or give up on our own initiative, and then sneak into their fleet?

Time passed little by little. Half an hour later, Arnold spoke again: "autumn has come, and it will soon be winter. In addition to the indigenous people of Greenland, our defenders suffer. "

Arnold's words made Roosevelt finally make up his mind.

Yes, Greenland is a springboard, but it is a cold springboard. In summer, the temperature is only above zero in the south. Now in autumn, the temperature has reached below zero.

Without operating experience in cold regions, Greenland is useless. Although Europe also has winter, there is a warm current in the North Atlantic, which makes the whole winter in Europe warm. It is definitely not like Greenland under the influence of the Arctic cold wind.

If the Germans occupy Greenland, they can only hide in the fortifications and tremble in the coming winter. Their guns will freeze and their planes will not start. In this way, the existence of Greenland is almost meaningless, and with this winter, our side will get a valuable buffer period.

Germans are not so terrible.

On the contrary, if the sneak attack is successful, the harvest will be more.

Roosevelt had been thinking about how to destroy the German Navy. Now it was time to seize this opportunity.

"Well, in that case, we can consider giving up Greenland after bringing a painful lesson to the Germans, and taking attacking the German Navy as the main task target." Roosevelt said: "transfer our main fighters to Canada, take off from the base in eastern Canada and support the battle in Greenland. Even if we are forced to retreat in the end, we should let the Germans know our determination to defend our own territory."

Roosevelt's words agreed with Arnold's proposal. In fact, he was angry enough. Although he knew the German attack target, he was powerless and would continue to lose his land.

Greenland is just a barren land. Although it's a springboard, it's just a chicken rib springboard, and just this winter, the Germans can't use Greenland.

Let's think about how to expand our fleet. The ice aircraft carrier, I don't know if it can overcome the technical problems and enter active service as soon as possible.

Roosevelt turned the wheel of his wheelchair and came out of the window. At this time, the sunset was slowly falling. There was an extraordinary beauty. On the land of America, it would soon enter darkness again.

Across the ocean, wolf Valley 2.

"Our intelligence system has found that Americans are making ice aircraft carriers on a lake in Canada." Reinhart took the information he just got and reported it to Shrek.

During this period, Reinhardt focused all his attention on the United States. Since it has been arranged for more than ten years in the early stage, the efficiency of harvesting intelligence is very high.

In a few words, the intelligence obtained by the Americans is still like a treasure, while Germany is different. It intercepted the specific contents of the intelligence, a 2 million ton ice aircraft carrier?

With this information, Shrek just looked at it and put it aside: "it's not enough to be afraid."

In history, the British and Americans did make a fuss about this thing, but there were too many technical problems, which finally ended up. Moreover, 2 million tons, what kind of engine would it take?

Americans are jumping over the wall. Unfortunately, they still don't find the right direction. Isn't it better to build aircraft carriers in Canadian shipyards? Why do you have to do this kind of heterodox?

Sirik doesn't worry.

Even if Americans finally make it, don't be afraid. The era of propeller aircraft is about to pass. The future will be the era of jet aircraft. Take off and land jet aircraft on ice aircraft carriers? How stupid does that have to be to figure it out?

"The second intelligence is that island countries are planning to use high-altitude balloons to attack the United States." Reinhart continued.

High altitude balloon? The news attracted Reinhart's attention. Well, it seems that the islanders are not so stupid. They thought of this method in advance.

The Americans will certainly close the news, making the islanders think their tactics are invalid, and their own side, just tell some news.

"Find an opportunity to let our European newspapers report, especially the war results, and summarize them every day." Said Shrek with a smile.
