Chapter 1666 The real target (seeking a monthly ticket)

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that we have strengthened the deployment of troops in the Caribbean Sea. If the Germans want to invade the Caribbean Sea, they will definitely have their heads broken. In addition, we have also strengthened Florida The defense of the peninsula and the southern United States. Even if the Germans take the Caribbean with heavy losses, they will never even think about landing on the mainland of the United States. When necessary, we can even lay mines in the Strait of Florida to completely prevent the Germans from landing." Enter Marshall Will confidently report to President Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt nodded, although the current situation seemed a little critical. But he is quite satisfied with the disposal plan of Admiral Marshall and others. Germany did gain the upper hand in this war, and even the United States was almost out of breath. However, it is undoubtedly impossible for Germany to defeat the United States in this way. Even without the navy, the United States still has a powerful army and army air force. They still have enough strength to fight the Germans again.

What's more, this war will be fought in the United States. No matter which aspect it is, the United States has a very large advantage. This is why President Roosevelt is full of confidence in the next war.

"What about the Atlantic line of defense? How long will it take to stabilize?" President Roosevelt asked.

With the navy almost wiped out, President Roosevelt hoped to build a steel defense line on the east coast of the United States to completely resist the German attack. Only in that way will the security of the United States be guaranteed. As long as it can be dragged on until the Germans can no longer fight. When the time comes, they will be able to obtain a decent peace.

Although, President Roosevelt's previous goal was to kill Germany and snatch the throne of world hegemony from under the Germans. But the current situation is not good for them, so President Roosevelt's goal is changed to hope that the United States can continue to exist. Otherwise, once the United States is completely defeated by Germany, the United States may not be able to continue to exist.

"Your Excellency, within a month at most, the Atlantic defense line will be able to initially have combat effectiveness. Soon, winter will come. By then, the Germans will not brave the severe cold to launch an attack. And we still have enough time Come to stabilize the line of defense. The longer the delay, the better for us!" Admiral Marshall continued.

"General Marshall, the fate of the United States is in the hands of the Army. I hope that the Army can win this battle. The entire American Republic will do its best to support you." President Roosevelt said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Admiral Marshall nodded heavily.

Admiral Marshall can also understand that at the last moment of life and death, the entire American society has indeed erupted with the most powerful force. Young people joining the army from all over the country are very enthusiastic. The major arsenals even produce various weapons and equipment in three shifts. Especially after the supply to the navy was stopped, a large amount of resources were used in the production of the army's weapons and equipment, which made the US Army and the Army Air Force begin to quickly receive weapons and equipment. Now their headache is no longer the lack of weapons and equipment, but the lack of personnel. After all, although there are many people joining the army, there are some technical arms. It also takes enough time to develop.

But even so, General Marshall believes that the current US Army is becoming stronger and stronger. Their military strength is getting stronger and stronger, and these will become an important guarantee for them to win against Germany.

"Your Majesty, the Americans were really frightened. They urgently dispatched troops to reinforce the islands in the Caribbean Sea, and at the same time strengthened the defense of the southern United States. It can be said that the Americans have devoted their main force to the south." Marshal Manstein said. face smile.

After the German intelligence agencies learned of the movements of the United States, the generals of the German army were very happy. They believed more and more that although the next landing battle had not yet started, they had already won more than half of it.

Qin Tian nodded: "The Americans have been mobilized, so it is more likely for us to take Newfoundland. How is the preparation of the troops?"

"Your Majesty, General Busch has set off with three marine divisions. The other two marine divisions are still confusing the Americans in the waters near Bermuda. After the attack on Newfoundland begins, they will immediately go north for reinforcements. Also in the The 1st Army of the Bermuda Islands will also go north by boat immediately. It only takes two days for them to arrive at Newfoundland." Marshal Manstein said.

The British did not pay much attention to the defense of Newfoundland, and they still only deployed three infantry divisions on Newfoundland. Even if there were only three divisions of the first marines to land, it would be enough to crush them.

"The local fleet will provide fire support for the marines landing on Newfoundland. In addition, the capital ship formations of the Mediterranean Fleet and the Atlantic Fleet will also rush to Newfoundland one day in advance. However, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up until the second day of the battle." Yes. However, the British did not have a decent defense on Newfoundland. Therefore, the carrier-based aircraft of the home fleet and the firepower of the cruisers are enough to provide sufficient fire support for the Marine Corps." Marshal Raeder also said .

While there is no battleship's guns to provide fire support to the marines, the cruiser's main guns are the same. As long as you don't eat those fortresses, the 210mm main gun of the heavy cruiser is still very scary. Enough to tear any enemy to shreds. What's more, the fire support of carrier-based aircraft is more direct. The full dispatch of the local fleet is enough to ensure that the marines will receive sufficient fire support when they attack Newfoundland.

"Is the air force ready?" Qin Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, the Air Force will urgently dispatch a group of engineers to Newfoundland to expand the airport on Newfoundland and then build more airports on the island. However, the Air Force's engineering troops are limited, so they need support from the Navy and Army." Support. Once the airport is built, we can take off directly from China to Newfoundland. Then use Newfoundland as a base to start strategic bombing of the United States." Marshal Albert Kesselring said.

Compared with the navy and army, the air force enters the battle a little later. There is no other way around this. To deploy the Air Force to the front line, it needs an airport. Especially heavy bombers need regular airports. And building an airport takes time. Fortunately, Germany has everything ready.
