Chapter 1730 (1/2)
There have always been contradictions among the various services of the United States.
At first, the Navy and the army, and later the three armed forces of the Navy, land and air force. The usual contradictions are contradictions. It is absolutely intolerable to lag behind at this time.
These are all for the interests of the United States. In the past, it was OK to do something behind the back. But this time, it is related to the life and death of the United States. If the Navy wants to do such a thing, Arnold will never tolerate it.
Admiral Kim's face was deeply tired. He looked at Arnold and said, ”we know that the Germans regard Greenland as their next goal, and we have done a lot of preparations. Now, the battle has begun. If the Germans occupy Greenland without effort, what does it mean?”
Hearing this, Arnold was stunned. Indeed, he didn't seem to think so far.
”The Germans will certainly know that we deliberately let the water out, so why don't the Germans be vigilant? In which war have the Germans suffered losses over the years? That Shrek is more cunning than a fox. ” Admiral Kim said: ”even if we fail in the end, we must fail after heroic resistance, and let the Germans know our determination to defend Greenland. For this reason, our navy must make major sacrifices. We have been prepared to sacrifice voluntarily for the sake of the United States.”
When he heard this, Arnold knew that he could no longer complain.
Yes, there are omissions in their own tactics. The most powerful thing in the United States is the airmen. If the German Navy comes wantonly and the airmen don't resist desperately, it's wrong and will be seen through by the Germans. If they are prepared when they return, it's likely that the plan won't succeed!
Just when he wanted to nod, he saw Nimitz's flickering expression sitting at the back. For a moment, his heart was like a mirror. Admiral Kim was spitting bitter water here. In fact, it was only one aspect!
Of course, there is tenacious resistance, which makes the Germans think that this is the reason for their real combat effectiveness. At the same time, there is another intention. What if the Navy does it by itself? Not much. Even if only two German aircraft carriers were destroyed, the German Navy had to withdraw.
Cunning guy!
Although Arnold was clear in his heart, he couldn't say anything at this time. He could only wait quietly for Roosevelt.
This is a national war. Once it fails, the United States will face a more terrible situation. Roosevelt has heavy pressure.
When the Navy put forward their plan of full attack, Roosevelt also approved it. This time, it is a full-scale war. We must let the world see the combat effectiveness of the United States!
In this world, as long as there is the United States, Germany will not always be arrogant!
The U.S. Navy dispatched 10 shipborne aircraft detachments, with a total of nearly 800 aircraft.
It is impossible for all these planes to go out together. At the forefront are a group of old F2a. Yes, buffalo, which was complacently regarded by the US Navy as the most advanced aircraft carrier based aircraft in 37 years, is now completely out of date. In the Pacific, it is impossible to seize air control with island Zero Fighters, Not to mention air combat with German fighters.
F2a is just a bait to attract German fighters to intercept. In this way, they can consume their air defense forces and provide opportunities for the attack forces behind.
When it comes to the operation of aircraft carriers, the United States definitely has a say. Once the aircraft carriers are dispatched and the aircraft fleet is released, they lose most of their combat effectiveness, attract their fighters, and then launch the most deadly attack on the German Navy from other directions!
