"What?" Arnold suddenly shouted in surprise when he heard the news, his voice was so loud that the whole room reverberated.
Just now, Roosevelt hadn’t stated his position, in fact, he was giving him a chance. In fact, Roosevelt was also a firm advocate. He believed that in order to win, he could make a certain sacrifice. Moreover, Roosevelt needed a decent victory to inspire the whole country. .
The last time Midway Island was won, it was against the island country, and the Germans have never lost a war since they went to war. The United States was still confident, but after a few battles, the United States has always failed. , In the hearts of the American people, there is a gloom.
Roosevelt needed to win, so he even deliberately delayed time, hoping that the last bomber force could surprise him. Even if only one aircraft carrier was killed, he was excited enough.
As long as there is victory, it can bring hope to the people.
However, at this most critical time, someone pretended to be the Pentagon and gave orders to the bomber troops ahead to cancel the mission?
It's really hateful!
Roosevelt's hand turned the wheelchair, turned around, and looked at everyone. At this time, everyone clearly saw the sadness in Roosevelt's eyes.
At this moment, Roosevelt did not hide his feelings.
"Our United States of America is really troublesome." In Roosevelt's words, there is endless loneliness.
If the German fleet cannot be hit hard in the battle in Greenland, then the Germans can use Greenland as a springboard to land on the American continent at any time, and future wars will be even more difficult.
After all, the Germans are the masters of the mainland. On the European battlefield, the Germans drove straight into the battlefield and demonstrated terrible combat power. They thought they could hit the Germans heavily at sea. Who would have thought that all this has become a bubble.
After saying this, Roosevelt suddenly realized that he had lost his temper. If he didn't even have confidence, how could he expect others to inspire confidence in victory? Once the supreme commander lost his confidence, then the fruits were terrible.
"However, since the establishment of our country in the United States, we are destined to exist on this continent. Temporary defeat will not discourage us. We believe that the ultimate victory will still belong to us." Roosevelt said: "Now, We will make the following arrangements to deal with the deteriorating situation after the German occupation of Greenland."
Roosevelt could not lose his confidence. He had firm perseverance. Now, he must assume his own responsibilities.
"We have deployed the Atlantic defense line on our east coast. Now, after the Germans have landed on Greenland, I speculate that the Germans will not necessarily attack our Atlantic defense line, and they will probably bypass it, just like they once circumvented. It's the same as crossing the Maginot Line, such as landing from the east coast of Canada."
After a while, Admiral Kim first expressed his guess.
At the beginning, the United States spent a large amount of money to establish the Atlantic defense line, relying on coastal fortifications, coastal defense artillery, and the dense aviation base in the rear, intending to hinder the Germans from landing across the sea. Now, this line of defense is roughly Finished on.
However, it is absolutely impossible to speculate on the actions of the Germans with usual ideas. The Cyric never played cards according to common sense.
In other words, the Germans are likely to land from Canada.
Generally speaking, Canada is not suitable for German landing. The Labrador Peninsula in eastern Canada has a cold climate and most of it is virgin forest, which is not suitable for German armored forces. At the same time, the area bordering Canada and the United States is In the Great Lakes basin, as long as a few key points are guarded, the German attack can be blocked.
If the Germans choose to land from Canada, it is destined to be a tortuous route. Look at the Germans in Europe and Asia. They just like to advance in the wilderness. When they reach the Ural Mountains, they give up. They are afraid of complexity. terrain.
However, we must not use common sense to speculate. The more impossible it is, the more likely it is. This is the experience on the European battlefield.
Now when Admiral Jin made the argument that he would land from Canada, everyone present nodded one after another. This inference is very possible.
"It seems that we need to mobilize our troops to Canada to defend the Labrador Peninsula." Marshall also agreed with this thesis, and then there must be actual actions.
The case of the Germans landing in the UK tells everyone that the best way to deal with the Germans’ landing in the UK is to drive them directly into the sea. Once they have successfully established a beachhead position, it will be impossible to push them down.
The army must be mobilized!
But where is the transfer?
"Let's pass our West Coast transfer~www.novelhall.com~ someone suggested.
"No." Marshall shook his head: "Recently, the island nation’s balloon bomb attacks have intensified. Our troops on the Pacific coast are tasked with maintaining public order. Once the troops are deployed and the people panic, they will not be able to respond. Now, God knows if the islanders will take advantage of the emptiness."
It would be easy if there weren't those **** balloons.
The Atlantic coast cannot be transferred, nor the Pacific coast. There are not many inland. The National Guards of the states are now being reorganized into the army, which is not enough.
"Why don't we transfer the southern provinces?" someone suggested.
There are threats on both sides of the east and west, as well as in the north. The south is still a bit more stable. Next to Mexico, there are at most some illegal immigrants, which is not to be feared.
This proposal made many people present nod their heads. After careful consideration, Roosevelt nodded: "Then draw troops from Texas to defend the Canadian Labrador Peninsula. At the same time, we should urge Canada more. , Let them send more troops to Labrador."
Canada is quite weird in the entire world. Their territory is huge, but the number of troops is quite scarce. Before the outbreak of World War II, the total number of troops was only more than 4,600.
Canada does not need an army. The south is the United States. Except for the war between the United States and Canada in the early days of the founding of the country, there will be almost no conflicts since then. Canada does not need to guard against anyone.
It was not until World War II that Canada began to mobilize civilians to join the army. The most dazzling one was the Air Force. When the Second World War ended, Canada was already the fourth largest Royal Air Force in the world.
Now Canada is also expanding its military, but this speed cannot satisfy Roosevelt.
