Chapter 1557： New Manhattan Project (1/2)

On the one hand, it is planning to set up positions, just like the experience of many years in the past, on the other hand, it is planning to use new ways to solve problems by relying on air power. Now, Eisenhower's words make everyone present feel a sense of loss. feel.

The Germans have always been eclectic in warfare, leading the trend of the entire era. Although there are various political factors in the failure of Britain and France, in the military, the Germans dominated military technology and promoted military reforms, which is also an important aspect. , The French clung to the Maginot line, and ended up completely defeated before the German blitzkrieg.

If the Germans attacked the United States, they would definitely adopt this new tactic. If they just guard the country in the past, they would definitely die miserably.

The solution proposed by Eisenhower is a low-cost and high-efficiency solution.

Civilians in the United States have been carrying out extensive flying activities for a long time. There are a large number of pilots and various flying clubs in the civilian population. This method of the Americans is to hide soldiers from the people.

It’s like guns in the United States. On the surface, it’s a symbol of freedom and democracy. In fact, it’s a preparation for war. Once it really develops into the war of annihilation, every American people will be a soldier. You can fight with guns, but other countries need training.

This will undoubtedly allow them to have a strong counterattack ability when necessary.

The same is true for aviation.

In this era, the cost of building fighter jets is very low. Building a fighter jet is similar to building a tank. Therefore, the scale of aircraft in various countries is often tens of thousands, and they are as dense as locusts.

Not in later generations. Airplanes are high-tech products with low output and high cost. Moreover, one ups and downs will consume a large amount of money. Even if it is a powerful country, it will maintain a scale of thousands, and a small country will have a few hundred. It's just a shelf.

This is the best way to use airplanes to resist enemy aggression.

When the German fleet arrives, it will be attacked by tens of thousands of American fighter planes. Even if the Germans have a huge aircraft carrier formation, it cannot be compared with the aviation power on land.

Imagine the scene where one's own fighter jets were going to meet the enemy fleet, Roosevelt actually smiled.

During this period of time, the haze has been looming over Roosevelt. The Soviets don’t know how long it can last and how much German force it can consume. When the Germans turn to attack the United States, how much deterrence they have against the United States. In short, the United States will Ushered in a terrible war for the first time.

Roosevelt could not sleep for many times. He felt anxious in his heart when thinking that the United States was about to face the German fleet, but today, it was the first time that he was a little calm.

Fighting aviation ability, maybe we can fight them, this is the only chance for the United States to defeat the Germans!

”Let our staff demonstrate it again.” Roosevelt said: ”I personally think that it should be better to use the power of the Air Force.”

After speaking, Roosevelt said: ”Marshall and Groves, you stay, the others, you can go.”

Roosevelt’s words did not arouse any suspicion. Since he denied Marshall’s plan, Roosevelt always had to comfort Marshall. Groves, the deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Construction, was responsible for the large-scale construction of the Atlantic Line. Pipeline.

But the two understood that, of course, it had nothing to do with this matter.

When everyone was gone, Roosevelt said slowly, ”How is our project progressing?”
