Chapter 1091 1092 News from the Americans

In the White House presidential office, Washington, the United States, Roosevelt coughed and did not speak. Aside him, his assistants were reporting on the ongoing naval wars in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

"In the Pacific battlefield, Japan invested suicide attack aircraft troops and launched a fierce battle with our fleet in the waters near the Pesme Islands. As of two hours ago, our army had been injured in seven warships, and the Japanese warships also suffered heavy losses. The specific situation is still developing further." The assistant placed the telegram on President Roosevelt's desk.

Recently, President Roosevelt has been questioned more and more, and many politicians have begun to disclose their views on opposing Roosevelt's war policies. These people have proposed a new plan that is more in line with the interests of the United States: reaching a peace agreement with the European Axis Group, abandoning the collapsed Britain, and making every effort to make up for their lost interests on the Pacific battlefield.

Some Jews began to support this view because a genuine neutral Jewish state had been born in the Middle East. This country established with the support of Germany did not turn to the Axis powers, but chose an independent development path from the outside.

This choice left a very good impression on the United States and other Jews in the world. More and more people support Enrique, who is now the first president of the State of Israel, but among the American Jews, Baoerman has to face increasing pressure.

"Is there any news from General Nimitz? Is our fleet sure to wipe out the Japanese fleet in the waters near the Pesme Islands?" Roosevelt's health was not good recently. He coughed violently twice before asking his assistant who had just stopped.

"After all, it is in the vast sea. It seems impossible to wipe out the cunning Japanese fleet. If nothing unexpected happens, this time we can severely damage the enemy and create a very good environment for the next attack on New Guinea Island." The assistant told him what a naval liaison officer just told him intact and told his president. The battle is still going on, and the most optimistic promise can only be said of this level.

Sure enough, Roosevelt nodded, and no longer had the interest to continue asking about this matter. He looked at the huge Pacific Ocean on the map, and didn't know what he was thinking about. Silence spread in the president's office, and there was a suffocating feeling of depression. In the end, Roosevelt broke the silence himself and continued to ask: "So, what's the situation on the Atlantic battlefield?"

When it comes to this, the assistant is obviously a little embarrassed. Because within the framework of British and American cooperation, Atlantic defense has always been handed over to the Royal Navy to protect. The main force of the US navy has always been in the Pacific, which is also the fundamental reason why it can crush the Japanese Navy in terms of quantity.

However, in recent actions in Italy, the United States has forced Britain to take out its own coffin book. The fleets of both sides have dispatched jointly to escort the landing troops to attempt to use sneak attacks to attack the Germans in Italy. However, this huge plan is destined to be difficult to succeed, so the huge British-American joint fleet was forced by the same powerful German high seas fleet and traveled around the South Atlantic.

The most direct consequence of this labor-paying tourism is that the sea defense forces of Iceland are empty, and a German squadron takes advantage of the opportunity to enter. Under the cover of several cruisers, the German battleship Marshal Raidel bombarded the empty Iceland coastal facilities, which directly drew the old face of the British king red.

The shelling of Iceland conveyed too much information to the United States and British senior management, which made Roosevelt a little desperate. First of all, the heavy German warships were dispatched again intensively, which marked that the German Navy had solved the actual problem of its lack of oil. The solution to the lack of oil means that the five aircraft carriers in Germany can be dispatched at any time and threatened the east coast of the United States.

At the same time, the battleships approached close to shelling Iceland also shows that the German Navy psychologically got rid of the original curse of weakening when encountering Britain, which shows that the German Navy has already met all the conditions for taking the initiative, which is not good news for the Allies whose power is scattered across the two oceans.

These signals are dangerous and terrifying because the Allies lack fleets to fight against the German Navy in the Atlantic. Once Germany begins to take the initiative and seeks sea battles, the American fleet on the Atlantic will face a catastrophe.

"Mr. President, four hours ago, the German battleships that shelled Iceland had left. The British side was just mobilizing their main fleet to make combat deployments to defend Iceland." The assistant whispered to President Roosevelt's question, and it was obvious that even he could see that the British Royal Navy was not confident enough.

If it were in the previous era, any enemy warship that dared to provoke the authority of the Royal Navy would be surrounded by a huge fleet deployed by the Royal Navy around the world to hunt down Earl Spey and the Pisme, which was another time and space. This would be the end.

But now, the German high seas fleet has surpassed the main fleet of the British Royal Navy in terms of overall strength. The huge aircraft carrier fleet can completely rely on more advanced carrier-based aircraft and more complete electronic equipment to sink the battleships that the British Empire is proud of. I don’t know when it began, the glorious tradition of the British Royal Navy, which “will fight with the enemy”, has become the most criticized "passive avoidance of war" that is now criticized. It can be said that in terms of the so-called state of mind, the British Navy has been defeated.

Although the old General Dudley Pound is still maintaining the last dignity of the British Royal Navy; although the huge British Royal Navy has the capital to fight against the German Navy in terms of quantity and training; although this former empire that has been occupied by the land, there are countless loyalists who believe that it can be reborn... but it does not have much capital, enough for its decision makers to squander again.

"If we can't bring out some more things to strengthen the strength of the British Iceland base, Britain may be squeezed out of the war..." Roosevelt frowned and muttered his own thoughts in a low voice. He knew that the last bargaining chip that would maintain British resistance was the still good strength of the British Royal Navy. If the Royal Navy fails, then Britain is likely to really collapse completely.

The United States, which has lost Britain, is likely to be forced to make peace with the Third Reich, and the bargaining chips for peace are the already defeated Middle East and the Atlantic interests. The United States will be forced to withdraw from the stage of world hegemony and hand over the alliance established to Germany.

In that state of forced peace, it was not only a British government in exile in Iceland that collapsed, but also a French government in exile in Charles de Gaulle, as long as the United States threw away the Atlantic Ocean, these governments in exile from Europe would be destroyed, and even a piece of waste paper would not be left behind.

"Take aside our overwhelming dominance in Congress, give Britain several preferential policies and then find ways to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Atlantic Fleet." Roosevelt thought for a while and said, "Call the arms traders who support us and ask them to provide a support plan to support the reconstruction of Iceland's air base."

After he said this, he fixed his eyes on the location of Iceland on the map. In the end, he was not sure whether he was convincing his assistant or persuading him: "We have the only chance to strengthen this base and use bombers to destroy Norwegian iron ore at all costs."

Just as the US president was worried in his office, Dudley Pound was carefully studying the routes of the German Navy's battleship squadron on the bridge of the Royal Navy's Ark aircraft carrier.

"There are so many routes that the enemy can use, and we have no way to track their Navy Marshal Redel battleship." A naval aviation officer with his hands behind his back said to his immediate superior: "They can go east and go directly to the Norwegian port, and just walk halfway through the distance to enter the protection area of ​​the Norwegian land-based aviation."

While he said, he pulled out his hand from behind and pointed to the relevant location on the map: "If they head to the southeast, they can enter the air defense range of the British Isles... There is the North British Air Force in Zhang Berlin, and there are often me-109c fighter jets patrol. Of course, if they have sufficient fuel, they can return directly to Wilhelmshaven, and we can't catch up."

"The distance is too subtle. Their aircraft carrier fleet can take off the aircraft to cover this battle fleet within the cover of the combat radius of land-based aircraft. If we attack recklessly, we will suffer losses." Dudley Pound's current situation is a typical skillful woman who cannot cook without rice. Most of the nearby waters are within the combat radius of German land-based aircraft. It is really difficult for his navy to make a difference.

"We must find a way to lure the German naval fleet near the east coast of the United States, and only then can we encircle and annihilate the fleet on the vast ocean." The captain of the Royal Ark stood beside Dudley Pound and spoke: "The chance is too small. The Germans will be fooled unless they are stupid."

The officer in charge of the naval submarine force shook his head and denied the combat plan to lure the German fleet: "Even if we put enough bait, the only ones that were hooked will be the damn submarines under Denitz. The German naval surface ships are much more cautious than their submarine forces, and they have not yet entered the central North Atlantic."
