Chapter 1622 Counterattack Plan

"What? The Germans have taken Bermuda?"

"How is this possible? It's only been a few hours. How can the Germans move so fast?"

"Could it be that our garrison in Bermuda has reached the point of being vulnerable?"

A group of people, including President Roosevelt, have been completely shocked.

After learning that the German army had launched an attack on the Bermuda Islands, they knew very well that losing the Bermuda Islands was inevitable without the support of the navy and at the same time with a serious shortage of troops. However, they did not expect that Bermuda would be lost so quickly. Obviously, the strength of the German army's landing operations is far greater than they expected!

"What's going on? How did the Germans occupy Bermuda so quickly? Could it be that the defenders on the island chose to surrender to the Germans instead of resisting the Germans?" President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency, according to the telegram sent back by the defenders of the Bermuda Islands. Before the Germans launched the landing operation, they dispatched a large number of warships to launch fierce shelling on the military installations on the island. Under the heavy shelling of the Germans, not only our personnel Heavy losses. A large number of military facilities were also destroyed by the Germans. This greatly affected our combat power. The Germans used a large number of helicopters in the subsequent landing operations. At the same time, from the air and The Bermuda Islands launched an attack on the sea. In addition, the Germans have an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. It is precisely because of this that we were defeated by the Germans so quickly." The secretary said.

President Roosevelt frowned tightly. Obviously, the attack method adopted by the Germans surprised him.

The same is true for other high-level military officials. During the landing operation on Bermuda, the German army adopted a new type of combat method, which achieved success in one fell swoop.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the Germans are stronger than we expected. They adopted new tactics during the landing operations. This makes us have to be more vigilant in the following operations." Admiral Marshall said .

President Roosevelt nodded: "The Germans used a large number of helicopters in landing operations, which is indeed beyond our expectations. I hope our troops will be prepared for this. If one day, the Germans launch a landing in North America. We must be able to deal with their way of landing operations and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" A group of generals replied one after another.

Then, the meeting ended. The navy and army, as well as the army air force, began to plan counterattacks. Especially the navy, they bear the heavy responsibility of defeating the German navy in one fell swoop. Because this task is very difficult for the US Navy. It is precisely because of this that the pressure on the US Navy is undoubtedly greater.

When Admiral Harold Stark returned to the navy to prepare, the fleet commander, Admiral James Richardson, and the deputy commander, Admiral Nimitz, were already waiting for him in the office.

"General, it seems that this time we have once again been fooled by the Germans. The Germans are too cunning. They transferred our main force away from the east coast, and then launched an attack on Bermuda, which made us If you are caught off guard, you will never be able to guard against it!" Admiral James Richardson sighed.

Originally, the strength of the U.S. Navy has been hit hard, and it is already far inferior to the German Navy. Under such circumstances, they fell into the conspiracy of the Germans, which undoubtedly put the U.S. Navy in an even more disadvantaged position.

"Yes, gentlemen. The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The latest news just received is that the Germans have occupied Bermuda." Admiral Harold Stark said.

Admiral James Richardson and Admiral Nimitz couldn't help being taken aback, this was the first time they heard the news.

"God! How can the Germans move so fast?" General James Richardson asked.

"The Germans adopted new tactics during the landing operations. They dispatched a large number of helicopters to cooperate with the landing forces. They even directly used helicopters to carry out airborne landings. In addition, our defenders on the Bermuda Islands were seriously insufficient, which made us quickly They were defeated." Admiral Harold Stark said.

Admiral James Richardson and Admiral Nimitz both became more dignified.

"Gentlemen, after the Germans occupy the Bermuda Islands, this will pose a great threat to our homeland. Your Excellency the President hopes that we can retake the Bermuda Islands." Admiral Harold Stark said.

"General, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. Unless we can defeat the German navy!" Admiral Nimitz said with a serious face.

"Yes, General Nimitz. Your Excellency the President also hopes that we can defeat the German Navy in one fell swoop in this battle!" Admiral Harold Stark continued.

Both Admiral James Richardson and Admiral Nimitz couldn't help laughing bitterly. From their point of view, this is almost impossible.

"Gentlemen, is there no chance at all?" Admiral Harold Stark asked.

Admiral Nimitz hesitated for a moment, and then said: "General, according to the intelligence analysis obtained so far, it is the German home fleet that appeared in Greenland. The German Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet appeared in Bermuda. With our current strength, it is undoubtedly very difficult to defeat the German navy. However, if we combine the strength of our and the British navy, we still have a great chance of defeating the German fleet in one direction."

Admiral Harold Stark's eyes suddenly lit up.

"General, if we can unite with the British to defeat or even eliminate the German Navy's home fleet first, then we will be able to occupy a great advantage in this battle. At that time, the fleet will go south and compete with the German Navy. The decisive battle between the Atlantic Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet will defeat them in one fell swoop. If we can win, it will be very easy to win the Bermuda Islands. Even, we can reverse the situation in the Atlantic Ocean in one fell swoop and regain our advantage in the Atlantic Ocean.” Admiral Miz continued.

"Okay, very good, this is indeed a good opportunity for us to turn defeat into victory. The Germans dispersed their forces, which of course made us fooled. But at the same time, this also gives us a chance to defeat them one by one. If we can succeed , then we will be able to turn defeat into victory!" Admiral Harold Stark said happily.
