Chapter 265 Impossible Mission (4)

The order to attack Bermuda was opposed by many inside and outside the German army because it was not necessary strategically, but seemed risky. Keitel advised Hoffman to wait until May to complete the sea test and form combat effectiveness before attacking. The Beihai class is a new armored aircraft carrier launched by Germany after using the Dafeng-class aircraft carrier to make necessary improvements and strengthen. Its strength is much stronger than the two British armored aircraft carriers. The construction period is 27 months in total and 3 months ahead of scheduled design.

In terms of waiting for more warships to serve and put into operation, the two sides have basically the same attitude, but they inevitably fall into misunderstandings: Admiral Kim, Turner, Mitchell and others want to wait for the Essex-class to be put into use in February and March, but the German army is also accelerating the launch of a new aircraft carrier, and the power balance between the two sides is not significantly unbalanced.

In January, the main aircraft carriers of both sides were 5:5; in March, although the United States had 9 Essex-class ships, only 7 could be put into combat, while Germany was exactly 2 Yunlong ships, and its combat effectiveness was still 7:7. Even because Germany had one more Bremen, it seemed to lead 8:7; in May, the United States had 12 Essex-class ships, 10 of which could be put into combat, and Germany would get the Beihai. The power balance became 9:10. The United States had only a slight advantage in the next six months. It was impossible for the United States to gain an overwhelming advantage by building ships alone. Although the United States could become 24 Essexes a year, the German-Iranian axis could also build 1,012 Yunlong ships and two Beihai-class ships a year.

What's more, in addition to the number of warships, the number and quality of pilots that restrict combat effectiveness, it is of course difficult for Germany and Italy to collect 3,000 aircraft carrier-based units required for 30 aircraft carriers at once, but they must be forced to collect. The result and combat effectiveness are definitely better than the United States forcibly collecting 3,000 units.

However, Hoffman did not talk too much about the number issue, and only asked the fleet to attack from another perspective, because this attack was for strategic goals, and there were other personal factors.

He scolded the Chief of Staff: "I promised Otto that he would give him all the support he could. Now he has finally entered the United States after going through a lot of hardships. I must not break my promise, otherwise will my words work in the future? Will the troops in an unfavorable situation still be willing to fight for the empire and shed the last drop of blood?"

In a democratic country, whether the Supreme Head of State speaks is effective or not, no one cares about it. This is political correctness. So whether Dewey’s idea can be realized can be a big question. Isn’t it just a change of persons in four years?

Under the national social system, how can the head of state easily violate the words of the head of state? It is related to the prestige of the head of state and the prestige of the party. If you make mistakes, you must bite the bullet and implement them to the end. This is also political correctness!

What's more, making V4 debut is part of the pressure on the United States by the "Great Castle Strange Man" plan, and there is no mistake. Keitel argues for a few words and he also knows the power of atomic weapons. Otherwise, why should we deliberately send the best special forces to do these tasks?

Hoffman's intention is very clear: on the one hand, he uses the V4 missile to tell the Americans that if he occupies Bermuda, he can hit the east coast. On the other hand, V4 can be further deployed forward and can hit the Oak Ridge within the Bermuda air defense circle!

If the United States does not submit, Hoffmann will prepare to take out the killer V6 in the next step and use a range of up to 2,500 kilometers to tell the Americans that Germany can not only erect missiles in Panama to Florida, but also use the XXX-class super submarine to hit the east coast of the United States with missiles in places where US aircraft are completely out of reach. As for what warheads can be installed, Americans can make up for it themselves. Anyway, they compete in routine, chemicals, and nuclear, and Germany are unique in the world. I will ask if you are afraid! Perhaps Japan has a deeper attainment in the field of bacterial warheads, but it doesn't matter. If you use Japan's ten thousand courages, they dare not use it.

It won't work anymore. In two years, V8 will be available for a range of at least 6,000 kilometers. For example, if a launch frame is erected in Iceland, most of the United States can be covered in the coverage area. If a launch frame is erected in Azores, it can achieve full coverage of the entire East Coast of the United States. When Hoffman reveals his trump card of a fusion bomb, the Americans can dig a good nuclear bunker and think about the winter scene.

When the drawing missile projects such as v10\v12 become a reality, I am afraid that even Japan and Stalin in the Far East will not be able to live in peace, but in terms of the planning progress of Penemide, these projects will be more than 10 years later.

On the night of March 9, the German army launched an air strike on Bermuda. By the afternoon of March 10, the Lion battleship had coordinated with other warships to start shelling Bermuda Island and was preparing to launch an attempt to launch a landing battle.

Now, the United States is forced into a corner and the whole situation is in chaos.

In order to realize the plan to counterattack in the Caribbean and South America, the Joint Conference not only mobilized the main force of the fleet to the southern waters, but Arnold also dispatched a large number of skilled East Coast crews to the southern line, reducing the defense capabilities of the East Coast to the point where they could not bear to look at them. After the planes on Bermuda were swept away, the East Coast behind them could not send powerful aircraft to support them. Even if the B29s had enough range, the heavy bomber attack fleet always felt that they could not make it powerful. What's more, the German newly equipped sea fangs are not vegetarians, and their combat power beats all attack aircraft.

Moreover, the emergence of the German squadron marked the complete bankruptcy of the Joint Association's campaign ideas and even strategic ideas: relying on delaying time and hoarding troops to carry out a wave of storm. On the one hand, Germany used the main fleet to restrain the US fleet, and on the other hand, it sent a strong squadron to attack, which made people fall into a sense of despair of running around.

Although some generals and staff insist on completing the Caribbean counterattack first, top figures such as Nimitz and MacArthur all know that the situation is serious: once the United States loses too much in the Caribbean Battle, it will lose the opportunity and strength to seize the Bermuda Islands in the short term. Once the German army lets go of the elite, the pistol aimed at Washington will have unexpected power.

Nimitz said with a serious expression: "In any case, Bermuda cannot be lost. The army must fight to the last one and keep Bermuda tightly, otherwise the east coast will not be peaceful."

"I have issued the order to defend the dead." MacArthur asked, "The problem now is rescue. Since the air force is not effective and it is far from the local area, can you ask the naval fleet to rush to rescue?"

"But isn't the main force of the Atlantic Fleet going to deal with the main force of the German Fleet?"

"Then I can only let it go for the time being," said Marshall. "Or, you can always be sure of using the main fleet to eat the German squadron first."

"There is certain that if you can't even eat the squadron, then don't fight, but what else?" Nimitz spread his hands, "Aren't you still seeking a decisive battle in the Caribbean?"

"Then let it go first"

MacArthur shook his head: "It is impossible to let go, but the situation can be adjusted. I am going to let General Bradley lead five divisions to Costa Rica to counterattack Panama."

“No fleet support is possible?”

"If the Navy attacks the German squadron, I believe the main force of the German army will rush to rescue, so we should not encounter the German fleet in Panama."

Turner shook his head: "The German fleet probably won't have one, but what else can I do?"

"Other? Are you talking about the Japanese fleet?"

The other party nodded: "It is said that the Japanese fleet has gone to Galapagos Island to replenish supplies. It can only be reached on the Panama front in 2 days. How do you plan to deal with these warships?"

"Japans are so willing to be driven by the Germans?"

"There is nothing to do if you are unwilling to give up. Have you not seen the information from the Russian Embassy in Japan? On the eve of Christmas last year, a major earthquake occurred in Japan. Now a lot of arms and equipment is fully provided by Germany. Not long ago, Europe also provided a batch of tankers to Japan. As long as Germany is always stuck in this lifeline, Japan dare not disobey it."

MacArthur frowned. He suddenly remembered that he had seen this news and asked subconsciously: "What do you think you should do?"

"Let's talk about peace, Germany and Japan have a simultaneous peace talk. There is no room for war." Turner sighed. "I don't know how to save Hawaii like this. I'm wondering if Japan is looking forward to both sides fighting with the Germans?"

"This" everyone's hearts were moved: If the Atlantic Fleet really fought all its capital with Germany and Italy, let alone this year, it would not be possible to launch a counterattack against Hawaii next year.

In this case, Japan will spend at least one and a half years on consolidating Hawaii’s defense. How many people will die?

The atmosphere of the meeting fell into an awkward silence.

At this time, Scolzne continued to flow excitedly on the Mississippi River: one, Memphis passed by completely without any danger; the other, the head of state sent a secret telegram, the smoke he wanted was ready, waiting for the announcement at any time
