The introduction of Lieutenant General Carl Spassetz, the third leader of the Air Force, responsible for North America and East Coast Defense, former chairman of the United Shipping Management Committee of Newfoundland, exacerbated the panic.

It is said that in addition to more than 100 jets, there are nearly 600 combat aircraft on Newfoundland, but only 15% of them are skilled crews. If Canadians and British are deducted, this proportion will drop to less than 9%. Everyone's hearts are about to jump out of the West Coast, Panama and Pearl Harbor at least have a skilled crew rate of 20-30%, which are all labeled like this. Only 15% of the skilled crew's defense points are not purely consumed cannon fodder?

The consequences of Newfoundland's occupation are extremely terrible. If even Prince Edward Island falls immediately, the German army can easily erect rockets on the island and directly hit Boston. If using the new model (Von Carmen speculates that Germany should have a range of more than 1,000 kilometers), New York and even Washington, Philadelphia are all within the German coverage. What should the United States do at that time? Move the capital to Missouri, President Truman's hometown? It is located in the heart of the United States, more than 1,500 kilometers away from the east and west coastlines.

Truman asked in a hoarse voice, "Can the Army defend Newfoundland?"

MacArthur believed that with the existing defensive power, the German main fleet and ground troops could not defend the attack, but he did not want to say such despicable words for the time being, and hesitated: "If the navy can help us weaken and restrain the German fleet's strength, I think it can be defended after sending a few more divisions up."

"Can the Navy provide the most possible help?" Truman turned his head to Nimitz again.

Nimitz knew that the Mitchell fleet could not defeat the German main fleet, but he still said with a tough bullet: "If we can cooperate with the ground forces and the land aviation industry in all defenses, the Atlantic Fleet can play its due value and role."

Truman nodded: "Find a way to transfer the Atlantic Fleet to the north, and then the Army will dispatch a group of troops to strengthen the defense of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island. At critical moments, we cannot pin our hopes on Canada or Churchill. What will happen to the Germans if they surrender? We must guard ourselves to rest assured. That is the barrier of America!"

Everyone nodded silently.

Truman added in the end: "If the German army occupy Newfoundland Island, tell Mr. Dewey that the Germans hope he can agree to the terms he put forward!"

Although he attended the meeting, the Army Minister Shi Tingsheng, who had been silent, was stunned and subconsciously muttered: "The president will vote next month."

"I know!" Truman gritted his teeth, "but if the worst consequences occur, it is not the question of whether the president can become a president, but the question of whether the country can continue to survive. Whose president will he become?"

Everyone in a complicated mood immediately dispersed and arranged their arrangements separately.

At night, Hori Teiki received the battle report from the front and smiled, disagreed with the performance of the US military.

Chiaki Matsuda asked: "The chief thinks the US military has lost its skills?"

"No, they have tricks and many means, but they are unwilling to use it."

"for example?"

"If Kakuda wants to hit the West Coast, let him fight, Tsukahara wants to hit Panama, let him fight... Americans just go to hit Midway or Christmas Island."

"We have the Second Guard Division guarding above!"

"But there are no fleets there, and there are no reliable shore defense fortifications, and there are not even many aircraft." Horitiki explained, "There is no fleet, only the islands defended by the defenders, and there are many dead people who can always be taken down. What are the 100,000 American troops and fleets in Hawaii who are stocking up there? Is it to bask in the sun? Why don't you take the initiative to cut off our army's retreat or supply line?"

"They probably are afraid that the fleet will be wiped out."

"How is it possible? The day when the US fleet slipped back to Pearl Harbor from Australia, we knew that our fleet was not there. Let's take a step back and say that if we are worried that our army will hide, we should understand when Tsukahara attacks the Galapagos Islands. Why not attack?" Horitiki smiled, "It's been nearly 10 days since before and after. If Christmas Island is not easy to fight, Midway Island should be recovered, right? The terrain, defense, and hydrology there are more familiar to us, aren't it?"

"Are they wasted their support fleets again?"

"But the Americans didn't know how to support the fleet at all. If they knew, they were definitely not like this!" Horitoki shook his head, "If you know, why not? Send the army to defeat Midway and then retreat to Pearl Harbor. Don't we have to fight Midway again? Then their air force can weaken us again."

"But this way, the American Island Guards will be finished."

"It's over! Once the support fleet leaves, they can fight another Midway landing battle. As long as we are not here, the Americans can always attack the island and can always use the island to restrain our fleet. Pearl Harbor has at least 100,000 soldiers. Each attack is 5,000 people. They can fight 20 times. Even if half of them are left without going out, they can fight 10 times!"

"The sacrifice wouldn't be small, right?"

Hori Teiki nodded: "This is the same as the principle of changing the tanker unit. It's just a repeated consumption. It depends on who can't stand the last breath. The problem is that we have to travel thousands of miles to bring the army or tanker from the local area. The Americans are not so troublesome. The supply speed of their units is faster than that of us buying or building tankers. The war of attrition is not to fight less with more, can we win by fighting faster with fast and slow?"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Hori Teiki sighed: "We were at a disadvantage in strength. We wanted to win and were afraid of losing, but we didn't want to die too much. How could there be such a beautiful thing in the world? Now we don't want to fight with our lives, and it's too late to fight when I fry the fuel."

Chiaki Matsuda smiled. He knew that Hori Teiki's tone of "hate the iron but not the steel" was purely a joke: With the United States' industrial strength and population, if he could fight as hard as Japan and have the spirit of not being afraid of 10 million deaths, he would have conquered the earth now, right?

"This is the first time I have heard from you that the United States is at a disadvantage."

"The strength of the United States is fundamentally equal to the sum of Japan and Germany, but its strength does not represent the strength at the stage, nor does it represent the performance. The Head of State and I have a high degree of understanding: the United States is too strong, and we must not let him stay at home to build warships and aircraft. We must pull him out and fight outside, and it is best not to fight on the United States. Whether it wins or loses, we just don't give him a safe life. The Head of State summarized this process as 'bloodle'. Japan's strength is not as strong as Germany, so I can only summarize it as 'hijacking'... Now the progress of the war is generally based on this idea. I dare not say that it will succeed in the end, but the situation is still optimistic." Horitoki said with a serious face, "The bad American is that he should not regard himself as the leader of the free world. He must also take care of this, and he must also defend it, but his strength cannot be exerted for a while."

“What do you think is the most ideal countermeasure in the United States?”

"Before the Pearl Harbor Incident, since they had mastered the bottom line of the empire through password deciphering, why didn't they loosen the point? For example, just sell us 3 million tons of oil and scrap steel, have a more ambiguous attitude towards the South China Colonial, and then quietly build warships at home. With this tone, do we dare to take the risk to provoke the United States?"

"Isn't that consistent with the original idea of ​​the empire?"

Hori Teiki laughed out loud: "Do you think the following group of red deer can be suppressed? If the United States compromises, the arrogant army will definitely go north to attack the Soviet Union, and then the navy will watch the show next to you."

"There is no loss, at least the Soviet Union is a little better than the United States."

"So I said, it's okay for you to be a general, but it's too neutral to be a politician, a little naive..." Horitiki pointed out, "Can the Soviet Far East be flattened? If not, in a stalemate, the US preparations were almost ready. Suddenly, the trade embargo was announced, stopping the export of oil and scrap steel, and requiring us to retreat from the Far East. What will happen at this time? Will the empire surrender or continue to declare war on the United States that has completed its armaments?"

"This..." Matsuda Chiaki opened his mouth and became messy all of a sudden. Finally, he hesitated, "I am afraid that Itojo's thoughts will still be declared."

"That is to start war against the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time. Even if the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor is successful, the United States will have many ways to cure us, such as sending a large number of heavy bombers to the Soviet Union to carry out strategic bombing, and the entire land is within its coverage."

"Didn't the European strategic bombing fail?"

"Because the people who are defending Germany below and the Americans who are dead above, the Americans fail to bear it. If you think about it the other way around, the people who are defending the Empire below and the Soviets who are dead above are the Americans who are only responsible for airplanes and fuel. Can the Empire withstand it? With Japan's strategic depth and industrial system, I probably can't hold on for 3 years, 5 years, or 2 years!"

Chiaki Matsuda and a bunch of staff members were sad: Fortunately, they didn't leave like this, otherwise it would be a disaster!

"Report, sir, the combat plan has been revised, collectively known as the Czech war. Among them: the main force of this support fleet is aimed at Pearl Harbor, called Czech 1; the main force of General Tsukahara's joint fleet is aimed at harassing Panama, Central America, and cooperating with the Second Air War to annihilate the remaining troops of the US Pacific Fleet, called Czech 2; the main force of Lieutenant General Kakutan's second air war is aimed at breaking the diplomatic relations on the west coast of the United States, luring the US troops to attack, and cooperate with the main fleet to annihilate the enemy Pacific Fleet, called Czech 3."

Matsuda Chiaki handed the battle plan to Hori Teiki: "How to fight the next step? I feel that the three goals are a bit messy together, but they really cannot be separated..."

"Don't be impatient, fight slowly, this time is plenty of time." Hori Teki pondered, "Didn't Tsukahara kun pretend to attack Panama? Tell him, do it again as this!"

Matsuda Chiaki asked tentatively: "If it is virtual, it is real?"

Hori Teiki narrowed his eyes and thought: "Today you can be weak again. Let's see if the US military reacts. The third time is false or true. It's up to him to judge that I don't control it. The Kakuda fleet can go north to see if there is a chance to fight the northwest coast. It's okay to test it again. I don't believe that the coastline of more than 2,000 kilometers is as solid as a whole!"

"This fleet continues to go to Midway?"

"The landing force, the transport force will go to Midway as planned and standby. The attack force will change directions slightly and learn from Yamamoto to take the North Pacific route. Are you still familiar with this route?"

"Familiar, sir, we are all familiar."

"That's good." Hori Teiki mocked a bunch of staff members and said, "You are all more familiar with me. Well, I am the only one who is a novice. Please take care of me."

Everyone covered their mouths and almost laughed out loud.
Chapter completed!
