Chapter 1654： Brains wide open (2/2)

Nimitz frowned and explained the problems to Roosevelt. Fortunately, Roosevelt hardened his brows and listened.

”Yes, it seems that we must be cautious.” Roosevelt said: ”The navy has to demonstrate how likely it is to attack a German base. When necessary, we cannot be afraid of sacrifice, just like Du Lit went to Like the sneak attack on Tokyo, if our battle is successful, it will greatly boost our morale.”

Roosevelt looked at it from a political point of view. After Germany conquered the Soviet Union, I am afraid that there was also an atmosphere of pessimism and disappointment in the United States. Once everyone thought that it was impossible to win, it was very likely that he would really lose.

A victory must be used to increase the self-confidence of the people!

”Mr. President, I still have a good idea.” Nimitz's brain had already formulated a plan: ”The cross-age bomb we introduced technology from the Soviet Union to develop, although it cannot be used in battle with the Germans, It's just for deterrence, but it should be no problem for the island countries and the midway island we are invaded? Once the island country's problem is solved, we will be able to deal with Germany.”

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

...

The meeting lasted for a few hours and various action plans were determined. When everyone else had left, Roosevelt again left Marshall and Groves behind.

”Mr. President, our Manhattan project has been restarted.” Groves said: ”Those Russians are now fully engaged in their work. They are working hard to build our nuclear bomb as soon as possible.”

Roosevelt nodded: ”We have no time. Now, I look forward to our nuclear bomb every day. Once the Germans build it first, then we will completely lose hope of victory.”

If there is a nuclear bomb, the German thermobaric bomb will definitely be thrown down without any hesitation. Now it is just a new balance. The United States does not use it, and Germany does not use it~~ just like before. The same as the gas bomb.

But the nuclear bomb will break this balance.

”In addition to nuclear bombs, we also need to develop rockets.” Roosevelt said: ”The Germans paraded in Moscow and showed their latest missiles. They can hit us across half of the earth. We must have the same weapons. Row.”

Roosevelt had a hunch. If such a ballistic missile is equipped with a nuclear warhead or a thermobaric warhead, it will definitely be a disaster, because this thing simply cannot be intercepted!

Originally, Robert Goddard could be the leader of American rockets, but unfortunately, he was taken away by the Germans more than ten years ago. At that time, the Germans began to develop rockets, but he knew nothing about it. !

Unfortunately, the United States has no experts in this area.

In later generations, American rocket technology started with the German V-2 missile. Braun, a scientist who has served Germany for more than ten years, has transformed and became the father of American rockets, which is ironic. Of it.

”We lack experts in this area, but we have already inquired that the Soviets have experts in this area, and they are also secretly developing rockets. Two of them are called Korolev and Grushko. The leader of rockets and engines.” Marshall said: ”If we can get them over, we can set up this stall.”

Although a large number of Soviet scientists have been invited to the United States for investigation, the prisoners in the prison are not counted, and now, these two men are still working in the No. 4 prison in Siberia.

Roosevelt's eyes rolled: ”Well, you can find a way to get them over! Stalin now needs our support even more, and the Soviets now have no scientific research capabilities. Only we can do this kind of thing. come out!”
