Chapter 430 Roosevelt's Death Order and Chen Yanlong's Economic Determination
"Are these the latest German jets? General Arnold!"
When President Roosevelt came to Boeing's aircraft manufacturing plant in Wichita, Kansas, he and Marshall went to a secret storage room inside the factory, staring at the wreckage of a German me262 jet fighter and the fuselage of an Ar-234 jet bomber, with a serious expression.
"Yes! Your Excellency the President!"
General Arnold, standing next to Marshall, also responded with concentration, observing the German planes in front of him.
General Arnold was the commander of the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II and the deputy chief of staff in charge of aviation affairs; the commander of the Army Air Force, with a five-star general, and was known as the father of the modern American Air Force.
So his answer was a very valuable and valued opinion for President Roosevelt.
Otherwise, Roosevelt would not have asked him first, instead of General Marshall, or other generals around him.
"Can we make jets that are even more powerful than those of the Germans?"
President Roosevelt looked at General Arnold and asked in a hurry.
"It takes time! If we can have enough time and thoroughly study these two German jets, then we can make jets that are more powerful than German jets and fighter jets!"
General Arnold replied cautiously.
"How long will it take? Can it be done within the three I asked for?"
President Roosevelt continued to ask.
"Try to do it!"
General Arnold replied a little awkwardly.
"Can the FJ-1 "Goddess of Nemesis" jet aircraft we are developing and the F9F "Leopard" carrier-based fighter jets be completed ahead of schedule?"
President Roosevelt asked anxiously.
The "fj-1 "Goddess of Nemesis" jet aircraft should be completed as much as possible within the time required by the President, but the combat effectiveness is still unknown. Because the production time is too urgent, there will be more loopholes that need to be improved!"
"Actually, I am more eager than you to hope that our aviation forces can have jets with superior combat performance than the German army as soon as possible to enter air combat and obtain strategic air supremacy! Your Excellency the President!"
General Arnold sighed and said helplessly.
Because Arnold's long-term strategic idea was to use large-scale advanced aircraft to enter the enemy's airspace to suddenly attack the enemy's ground forces and surface ships, and to penetrate deep into the enemy's strategic rear, destroy the enemy's rear supplies, industrial economy, transportation hubs, and even densely populated central cities, and destroy the enemy's will to resist as a whole.
Because in this way, he could make his country unable to send troops to invade and occupy the territory of the enemy. As long as he had a large number of advanced air force units, he could win thousands of miles away and force the enemy to surrender, thus ending the war.
His favorite combat method is called "strategic bombing". This type of bombing method is not only to attack military targets, namely, military bases, military facilities, etc.; it also conducts thorough attacks on the rear production facilities, transportation agencies, and even ordinary residential areas of the enemy. The purpose is to completely destroy the ability of the opponent's country to fight and make the enemy government and citizens lose the will to continue the war. Therefore, the strategic bombing generally carries out combat operations based on "indiscriminate bombing". As recorded in later online data, from July to August 1943, the US and British Air Forces bombed Hamburg in Germany.
Hamburg, Germany, is a city with a population of 1.76 million. In July, it suffered three large-scale air strikes. British and American air forces dropped a large number of high-performance bombs and magnesium-made incendiary bombs day and night, causing serious damage to 55% to 60% of the city's Hamburg city, causing 450,000 casualties in Hamburg, Germany.
So he is now more anxious than Roosevelt to get a new type of jet that can defeat the German army, because General Arnold, who can command the world's largest air force, including 15 air force (234 combat aviation brigades under its jurisdiction), a total of 2.5 million people and about 70,000 aircraft, is absolutely unwilling to be suppressed by the German air force and defeat him.
"No matter what the price is, I hope you can get our engineers, jet research department, and expert team to develop our first FJ-1 "Goddess of Vengeance" jet in three months!"
"And I will give you the order to death. The first one must be made before January 30, 19944, otherwise I will severely punish all the people who failed to produce and the person in charge!"
"Because this war has gradually exceeded our control. If we cannot find a way to restrain Hitler's endless new weapons and equipment, I'm afraid the entire Europe and even the entire world will be shrouded in the shadow of his dark aggression!"
"We have fewer worlds. We must win this damn World War II in 1944, to eliminate Hitler and his fascist Germany and rebuild world peace for the anti-fascist people all over the world!"
Upon hearing this, President Roosevelt immediately said with a righteous expression with an excited expression.
"Yes! Your Excellency the President, I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me!"
General Arnold could only agree with a gritty bullet.
At this time, in Germany, Chen Yanlong was paced around the Prime Minister's Office in Berlin, anxiously thinking about whether to go to Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
Because he planned to restore Bavaria to a prosperous industrial center to set a new vane for Germany's urban construction.
Bavaria is one of the richest regions in Germany. In the past few decades, it has completed a huge transformation from agriculture to high-tech industries. Automobile manufacturing is one of Bavaria's core industries.
Of course, the textile industry, machine manufacturing industry and wood industry, as well as the printing industry, plastic industry, toy industry, and food industry are also relatively famous industrial economic income.
In addition to these industries, agriculture is also the main economic income sector in Bavaria.
There are also aircraft industry, electrical and electronic industries, insurance and publishing industries, etc., which are also major sources of income.
"It seems that I need to build an outstanding economic talent to fight the army, build the German economy and make suggestions for me to embark on the road to a strong country. Otherwise, with my own ability, there is no way to quickly rebuild the German economy and take off!"
"Whether fighting or defending the country, it requires a lot of money and wealth to support it, so a country's economic development and income are the top priority!"
