At 17:03, when witnessing the US plane finally disappearing from sight, everyone in the fleet breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, the plague god was sent away again.

"Have you intercepted the enemy's telegram?" Crank asked worriedly.

"It was intercepted, but it cannot be deciphered."

"It's probably just reporting the direction..." Ozawa waved his hand, "The whole army turned, took the course 345 degrees, and the speed was 20 knots. Let's go to Newfoundland..."

"Report..." A loud voice interrupted the silence of the Joint Association's combat room, "Bermuda reconnaissance planes discovered the enemy fleet..."

"Okay!" General Jin stood up excitedly and quickly received the telegram, glanced a few times before handing it to the others.

Other staff members marked the location of the German fleet on the large map: "Around 17 o'clock in the evening, the center of the enemy fleet was in the east-northeast of Bermuda. The specific location was about 56 degrees west longitude, 37 degrees north latitude 11 minutes, about 1,000 kilometers from Bermuda and 1,600 kilometers from New York. When it was discovered, the course was 275 degrees and the speed was about 17 knots... It was confirmed that it was the main force of the Axis Fleet, and most of the main ships were there."

"Have you sent out an attack aircraft group?"

Arnold shook his head: "The range of the sea attack aircraft group is not enough, and the only heavy bomber that is above is not fast enough. In addition, our army cannot launch a night attack, so we only strengthened air defense alert and could not attack."

General Jin added: "The enemy is not an ordinary person, and the combat range is well controlled. Now our army has no choice but to pick up this distance. After nightfall, they can accelerate their march. By dawn tomorrow, they can reduce the distance to within 500 kilometers. At that time, they can take the lead in launching an attack. Our army needs to conduct another reconnaissance to locate it."

"Where is Admiral Cunningham's fleet?"

"There are more than 1,400 kilometers away from Bermuda. If they are on the road at full speed, they can reduce the distance to within 800 kilometers tomorrow morning, and attack the enemy at noon or afternoon tomorrow."

Marshall nodded: "The problem is now very critical. We must withstand the first wave of attacks launched by the enemy in the early morning and find their location as soon as possible..."

Eisenhower reminded: "Doesn't this situation be ignored? Is there any possibility that the enemy will attack New York or other big cities?"

"Let me think about it..." Lieutenant General Jonas Ingram took the staff's pencil and outlined it on the map. Soon he drew a route similar to the arc countertangent. "If you do this, the enemy can basically stay 1,200 kilometers away from Bermuda and attack the east coast at the same time. It is expected to launch an attack on the east coast in the evening of the 28th or early morning of the 29th."

Due to the lack of strength in combat command and the fatigue he showed, Roosevelt planned to change generals and considered transferring Nimitz back to serve. The Pacific Fleet was directly under Halsey. Now, unlike historical time and space, the Atlantic Ocean is the main combat direction. The Pacific Fleet almost lost its large-scale combat capability and could only live a life with two battleships and a bunch of escort aircraft carriers.

General Kim agreed with this, but it was difficult to arrange personnel. Given that the direction of the Pacific is equally important, and facing the struggle of who is leading the sea and land, two people with tempers, MacArthur and Halsey, may have arguing directly. Marshall also expressed concern about this. Out of balance and harmony between sea and land, Roosevelt believed that it was necessary to equip the Pacific Fleet with a steady and persistent person. Nimitz himself also agreed, hoping to get Halsey to train for a while, and personally recommended Lieutenant General Jonas Ingram. Although Turner was promoted to Lieutenant General, his qualifications were not as good as Halsey. In addition, General Kim also agreed that Turner still needed to grind it again. If he had outstanding military achievements such as taking Cape Verde attacks, he could arrange other important positions in the future. Finally, the Joint Conference reached a consensus and decided to make personnel adjustments after the Atlantic battle was completed.

After listening to Ingram's analysis, everyone frowned again, thinking that this matter was too difficult: Although the East Coast has a large number of air defense facilities, the president also said that he should not pay too much attention to air strikes. Sooner or later, the American people will accept such a scene. This is a war, not a two powerful country playing house, but everyone still hopes that the East Coast will be tested, the less the better.

Arnold thought for a long time and replied: "Now the initiative is in the hands of the German fleet, we can only be forced to defend passively, but at least we have the initial position of the opponent, and Admiral Cunningham's fleet is also on the way to come. I am still confident in victory. I hope the Navy will deploy submarines and torpedo boats in front and strive to launch a wave of attacks on the enemy fleet in the early morning of tomorrow..."

To be honest, this request was a bit difficult, but General Jin still agreed readily.

Since the sunrise in Bermuda was about 2 hours earlier than Washington, everyone in the Joint Conference decided to stay at the scene overnight and prepare to fight the battle, waiting for the Germans to come to die.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Bermuda Airport had completely entered a state of white heat. After nightfall, all aircraft were ready, and the air defense forces were fully prepared. The radar room sent a special personnel to wait for the German attack to begin. Considering that the German army had night air strike capabilities, in order to avoid the aircraft being destroyed by the enemy on the ground, according to the scheduled plan, the aircraft will remain in a state of being able to be dispatched at any time to deal with emergencies. Assuming that the German army did not appear before 4 o'clock, the land aviation was ready to take off and search the enemy first.
