"Report, the British side sent a telegram. The reconnaissance plane they dispatched found the German fleet, which is a large fleet. However, the telegram was shot down by the German fighter jets before the telegram was sent. The British side has already lost There are more than a dozen reconnaissance planes." President Roosevelt's secretary walked into the office and reported to everyone.
This news made the senior officials of the U.S. military even more ugly.
"Your Excellency, it is obvious that the German navy is dispatched on a very large scale. In addition, their air defense preparations are also very strict. It is undoubtedly very difficult for the British side to use reconnaissance planes to find out the situation of the German fleet." Harrow Admiral de Stark said.
"So, can it be determined that the main force of the German navy appeared in the waters southeast of Greenland?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Your Excellency, this may be very difficult. Each of the three fleets of the German Navy in the Atlantic Ocean is very large. Unless a reconnaissance plane is used to fly over the entire German fleet, otherwise it is impossible to determine their actual size. ” Admiral Harold Stark replied.
President Roosevelt nodded, he also knew that this was a very difficult matter.
"Gentlemen, the Germans have already dispatched. Then, this is already a great threat to us. We can no longer sit still and waste time. If we do not take any action, we will just watch helplessly." The Germans eliminated the British Navy. At that time, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for us to fight against the German Navy." Frank Knox said.
"Minister, but what if this is a conspiracy by the Germans? What if the main force of our navy goes north to reinforce the British navy, but the Germans use the main force to attack our east coast?" Harold Starr Admiral Grae raised his concerns.
Minister Frank Knox suddenly didn't know what to say. He also has no way to be sure whether the Germans will adopt such a conspiracy. If Admiral Harold Stark really hit the mark, the consequences would undoubtedly be disastrous.
Admiral Marshall is not an admiral of the navy, so he has not spoken. His eyes kept falling on the map, as if he wanted to find out the true intentions of the Germans.
"Will the Germans want to use their powerful navy to capture Newfoundland?" Admiral Marshall said suddenly.
The office fell silent all of a sudden, and everyone couldn't help being shocked. However, a trace of panic flashed in their eyes. Obviously, they are well aware of the threat to Britain and the United States once the Germans capture Newfoundland.
Newfoundland is only less than 30 kilometers away from Canada. However, the Gulf of St. Lawrence is not so easy to cross. Once Germany dispatched troops to capture Newfoundland, with their strong naval and air strength, it would undoubtedly be even more difficult for Britain and the United States to regain Newfoundland. It is even very likely that the Germans will use Newfoundland as a springboard to capture the mainland of Canada, and then directly attack the Northeast region, the most economically and industrially developed region of the United States, from top to bottom.
"God! The Germans must not be allowed to occupy Newfoundland. Otherwise, it will be a disaster for us!" Minister Henry Stimson said.
"The British should be aware of the importance of Newfoundland, have they deployed heavy troops on the island?" President Roosevelt's expression became more worried. Obviously, all fools know that once Newfoundland falls into the hands of the Germans, it will undoubtedly become easier for the Germans to land in North America.
"Unfortunately, Your Excellency. According to what we have learned, the British did not deploy many troops in Newfoundland. The main British troops were deployed at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and the Nova Scotia peninsula. These areas are It is the most important area for the British now," said Admiral Marshall.
"Idiot! Don't the British know that once the Germans occupy Newfoundland, it will be almost impossible for them to keep those elite areas?" President Roosevelt was very angry.
"Notify the British side and let them immediately increase their troops to Newfoundland. Send more troops, and they must be elite troops to ensure the safety of Newfoundland. If the Germans want to land in Newfoundland, they must Hold off the Germans and buy us enough time to send reinforcements!" said President Roosevelt.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Admiral Marshall nodded.
"The navy also immediately assembled all its forces and went north to reinforce the British navy. We cannot repeat the mistakes made in the Azores naval battle." President Roosevelt said.
The situation facing the United States now is more severe than before the Azores naval battle. This also makes the U.S. Navy no longer able to make mistakes. If they make another fatal mistake, they will never have another chance.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Admiral Harold Stark replied.
"Your Excellency, what if the Germans only attract the main force of our navy to go north, but the real main force launches an attack on our east coast?" Admiral Harold Stark was still a little worried about this.
"If this is really a conspiracy of the Germans. Then we can only hope that the shore-based aircraft of the Army Air Force and Navy can withstand the German attack." President Roosevelt said.
"Your Excellency, the Army Air Force has entered a state of emergency combat readiness. All radars have been turned on. As long as the German planes approach within 300 kilometers, we will be able to detect them in advance." Admiral Marshall said.
Of course, he also knew that if the German navy launched an all-out attack, the U.S. Army Air Force alone might not be able to resist it at all. However, the matter has come to this point, and they have no other way. I can only do my best and prepare to fight the Germans desperately.
"Gentlemen, our most dangerous moment has come. Now, we must do our best to resist the Germans. All soldiers, whether it is the navy, the army, or the army aviation, need to enter a state of combat readiness. This battle, We can no longer lose. Otherwise, the flames of war will burn to our homeland. In any case, we must defeat the German invasion and defend our country!" President Roosevelt said firmly.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." Everyone replied loudly. They can all feel how heavy the burden is on their shoulders. Everyone also knows that the fate of the country depends on them.
