Chapter 1654: Brains wide open (1/2)
It takes time to build a warship. After all, even if it is an **** aircraft carrier, the shortest construction period will take a few months. However, it takes seven or eight months to attack an aircraft carrier without a year. This is already the fastest.
Several ships were about to be built, but they were bombed again. The U.S. Navy was almost crying. Now, Nimitz gave an idea.
Since we cannot acquire enough naval fleets in a short period of time to build the U.S. Navy as powerful as Germany, then we simply pull the German Navy to the same level as ours.
It takes a long time to build a warship, but building an airplane is fast.
In this era, building airplanes and building tanks are almost the same, but unlike later generations of airplanes, which are so expensive, there are hundreds of them in a country, and there are tens of thousands of airplanes at every turn.
The next step for the Germans must be a sneak attack on Greenland. Then, simply set up an ambush in Greenland or nearby to attack the German fleet!
Nimitz’s proposal won everyone’s approval, and Roosevelt had an idea. In that case, he didn’t copy some German battles. In the past, the German air raid on Scarpa Bay was definitely the most exciting. That's it!
How could we organize a similar air strike from Greenland and bomb the base of the German navy? As long as they sink a few of their aircraft carriers, the United States will usher in a short period of peace, and there will be enough respite.
Roosevelt became excited when he thought of this, and his face was flushed, as if his life was renewed in the second spring, that is, why didn't he think of it?
Attack the German fleet and turn things around in one fell swoop!
In Roosevelt’s heart, this idea suddenly appeared, and he couldn’t take it back again. Looking at his staff, Roosevelt blurted out: “How about we attacked the German naval base? How about sinking the German main warship in the harbor. in.”
Recently, Roosevelt seemed to be a bit too eager for quick success. His mind was full of wild ideas. For example, he was going to bomb Moscow in the first place. Fortunately, he was good at doing so and eventually changed to intercept on the route.
Now, the facts have proved that they have fallen into the trap. The Germans have long known their actions, and the sneak attacks have been attacked. If it is to bomb Moscow, the precious strategic bomber, I don’t know how much it will lose!
Now, Roosevelt didn't learn his lesson, and he was going to attack the German naval base!
Can this succeed?
The German attack on Scarpa Bay was because Scarpa Bay was isolated and helpless, far away from the British mainland, and surrounded by water on three sides. The geographical location determined that it was easy to be attacked.
However, Germany’s bases are different. German naval bases are mainly located in northern Germany and along the North Sea. Because the United Kingdom, Denmark and other countries have been conquered by Germany, it can be regarded as the depth of the territory. Its own bomber group is large. Flying over from Greenland a long way, must have been found far away.
Along the way, Germany had enough to arrange six or seven interception lines, causing heavy losses to the American bomber forces.
Step back 10,000 steps, even if you fly to a German naval base, what can you do, you may not be able to find German warships. Now, near the German port, it is tightly sealed, and there is no idea how many ships stayed inside. I don't know if there is an aircraft carrier, unless air reconnaissance is dispatched.
But as long as it is dispatched, it will definitely startle.
Where is the classic German tactics easily copied!
