"Where is your officer?" Thomas looked at the hundreds of soldiers who boarded the ship, but none of them were injured, none of them, and even fewer sergeant commanders. He couldn't help but wonder.

"I am an officer..." A sergeant commander holding Thomson suddenly stood up and pointed his muzzle at Thomas without any bias.

"Big guy, don't point the gun at me, be careful of getting fire!"

"Raise your hands!"

"What did you say?"

"Raise your hands, or I'll shoot..."

"Are you crazy? You are threatening a naval officer, I..."

"I count 3-2-1..." Seeing that the other party had pressed his fingers on the trigger, Thomas, who was in a position of not suffering the loss in front of him, could only lift his hand obediently.

"Do it!"

"Soon", the army officers and soldiers who had just looked numb suddenly became restless, and they all flew Thomson and Garland to control all the naval officers and soldiers. Soon the "Baihe" frigate was fully controlled.

“Send a signal…”

"The Second American Division of the SS is here, and all surrender..." Such a scene was staged one after another on the naval ships responsible for the response. Although some naval officers and soldiers tried to resist, how could they beat the army that had just retreated from the sea of ​​corpses and blood? There was only one way to cross the corpses on the spot.

The officers deeply hated the navy to abandon them, and all their anger came out on this group of light warships. A total of 11 frigates, 14 freighters or oil tankers, 31 torpedo boats, and more than 40 landing ships escaped, all of them were controlled by the Army's 3rd and 5th Divisions.

After dawn, all the American officers and soldiers could see clearly what was in the distance: the German army mobilized overnight, including the Richelieu battleship, the Hippel heavy cruiser, four fantasy-class destroyers and a large number of S boats gathered outside the sea, and there were German land aviation aircraft circling to monitor. If they did not really intend to seize the ship and surrender last night, but tried to use a delaying strategy to escape, all those waiting for them after dawn were sunk.

"Change the flag!"

The American army was still very creative in this regard. They pulled off the star-striped flags above their heads and prepared them overnight. Most of them were hand-painted flags, some were made of bed sheets, some were made of white shirts, and the patterns on them were laughable. There were also iron crosses and ten thousand flags. The most creative one was the frigate "Liaokuo". The raised flag was painted with a US soldier raising his hands, which made all the German navy who were watching from afar.

"The Americans are a little interesting, I like them very much. Although the British call them 'The Italians on our side', I think they are more adorable than the Italians." Admiral Winneck laughed, "Shit the salute and welcome the American SS Division to our army."

At around 9 a.m., Turner received a telegram that caused him to burn all over the country. The news was sent by several destroyers south of Cape Verde: "We did not see our retreating fleet, but we were subjected to air strikes on enemy planes. Our army resisted bravely. Long live America!"

McDonald and Hull hated the navy deeply. Not only did they intercept all the light warships near Cape Verde, but they also informed the enemy of the enemy's position of the destroyer responsible for supporting them in the south. Of course, Ozawa was not polite about this and directly sent all six Fletcher-class destroyers to the bottom of the sea with 24 He-218s. The process was as easy as shooting a target. Fortunately, Turner was not completely confused yesterday. He asked the main forces such as battleships to retreat first, and only let the destroyers go to the rescue. Otherwise, these warships would be taken to the German aircraft carrier and had nearly 150 carrier-based aircraft, and they were protected by the land aviation. In this state, whoever was beaten to die!

At this time, the game was Sayazi running away. The Ingersoll fleet retreated southwest and fled to the Brazilian waters. Cunningham's sense of smell was more sensitive. He realized that the battlefield power comparison was reversed. After he was at a serious disadvantage, he immediately decided to retreat after releasing the last group of attack groups in the evening without dragging. Ozawa led the fleet to chase for three days in a row and frequently sent ar-352 to perform long-distance tracking. Although the distance between them continued to shrink, because Cunningham ran overnight in advance, the distance between the two sides remained above 800 kilometers at the shortest time, which exceeded the attack range of the carrier-based aircraft. Finally, he saw the US fleet sailing into the Bermuda air defense circle and had to give up.

This pursuit made the German navy excited. They always took the responsibility of breaking the diplomatic ties and often hid in Tibet under heavy encirclement of the British and American navy. When did they dare to chase the British and American main fleets so domineeringly? Although this pursuit did not achieve final results, it brought out the German navy's suppressed spirit for many years. Afterwards, some people thought that if they chased the American battleship troops, they might be able to catch up, but Maschel and others worked with Ozawa for a long time and had a higher vision, and said: "Battleships are nothing. Our army now has more battleships than Britain and the United States. The key is aircraft carriers. As long as the last British and American aircraft carrier troops are destroyed, the entire Atlantic Ocean can go sideways!"

News of the complete failure of the Cape Verde battle in Newfoundland and caused a huge shock. The news that the 3rd Army Division and the 5th Army Division publicly launched a power to revolt in front of the formation and announced the formation of the Second American Division of the SS was no less than that of the 12-magnitude earthquake that was triggered by the Joint Conference.

At the closed-door meeting of the Joint Conference, two veterans Marshall and General Kim not only spoke but also took action for the issue of the loss of the war, but almost performed a full-scale martial arts campaign. In the end, Eisenhower and Ingram pulled apart. After being pulled apart, the two of them even blew their beards and stared at each other, pointing at each other's noses and scolding them with breathlessness.

"Enough!" General Li Hai, who finally arrived at the venue, shouted angrily, and then burst into tears, "I have been to the hospital. The president is not in good health. The doctor and the nurse have closed his source of information. He is happy to wait for me to bring good news. After hearing the current war news, I have not dared to say that the two divisions surrendered. The president fell into a coma without saying a word. The doctor issued a critical illness notice and believed that he could not perform his duties normally. This matter cannot be hidden now. After discussion, the cabinet decided to notify the vice president to immediately exercise his power!"

"Ah!" Everyone was stunned.

Someone asked subconsciously: "Is this really good? Wallace doesn't understand military affairs at all, and his innocence and idealism have been criticized more than once, the president..."

"Idiot!" Li Hai cursed angrily, "The battle failed and the troops were rebelled. Someone must come out to take the thunder. If it weren't for the vice president, can you withstand it? What's more, the constitutional system is here, do you want to usurp the enemy?"

Everyone stopped talking immediately. General Jin and Marshall looked up at each other, hesitated for a while, and then nodded in a tangible way. This was not an ordinary nod, which meant that they quickly agreed to the army and the navy and formed a consensus on the outbreak of the vice president. This is much more important than debating who should be responsible for the defeat of the battle.

Late at night, Vice President Henry Wallace hurriedly convened the first meeting after he performed the power of the president. The situation was very difficult, but he had to stand up at this critical moment. Although Roosevelt often did not appreciate him and believed that he was "scholarly and idealistic", he was Roosevelt's deputy, and he was also a representative of civilians, and he believed that he should play an active role.

"I only got the exact news about the progress of the war this afternoon. What surprised me was that the situation we face was much worse than those depicted in newspapers and radio." Wallace looked at these bureaucrats he was familiar with or unfamiliar with, all of them were Roosevelt's people. He could not touch them now. He is now just "acting" the presidential power rather than successor. The current urgent task is to stabilize the situation and avoid the government's collapse in front of Congress.

"The Army and Navy have come up with a preliminary consensus, mainly including the following:

1. Admiral Ingersoll was removed from the position of commander-in-chief of the Atlantic Fleet, and General Nimitz was replaced by commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet was replaced by General Ingram;

2. Given that General Cunningham made too many mistakes in command of the aircraft carrier formation, it is recommended that he be removed from his position as commander and be replaced by Lieutenant General Spruins;

3. In view of the rebellion of the Army, it is recommended to carry out internal rectification and transfer unreliable and unsafe generals, and to remove the position of General Devs, who is responsible for command, and to judge officers of the 3rd Division and the 5th Division or above in absentia for treason;

4. Accelerate the construction of warships, replenish strength, accumulate strength, and focus on combat to defend the North American continent and the Caribbean region, postpone the offensive campaign of the Falkland Islands and the Azores;

5. It is recommended to draw forces from the British and American Air Forces or China Aviation to strengthen the crew of carrier-based aircraft;

6. Develop more powerful technical weapons, including heavy tanks, new aircraft, etc.;

7,…”

"Is this your consensus?"

"I have different opinions." Nimitz suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Please say." The others had wonderful expressions. They went to see the faces of General Jin and General Li Hai secretly, and found that the two of them had no expression on this.

"I don't agree with the idea of ​​removing General Cunningham from the position of commander of the aircraft carrier fleet. I hope he can continue to serve as Chief of Staff of the Pacific Fleet. As for General Turner, I think his strength lies in strategic planning and I hope he can play a greater role in the Joint Conference."

“Tell me your reasons?”

Nimitz's reason is very simple: in terms of numbers and performance, Cunningham's performance is not bad, and it is even the best among these generals. The losses of the aircraft carrier forces of both sides are about 6 ships (4 lightweight ships, 2 Essex-class), 2 heavy losses of Zhongchuang (Independence class, 1 Essex class each), 3 ships (Sky Eagle, Harrier, Elbe), and 2 Shichuang Light Chuang (Dunkirk, Zeppelin). On the surface, the gap is very big. However, Nimitz believes that the four independent classes can only be converted into 2 fleet aircraft carriers at best, so the comparison of the losses after conversion and deduction is actually 4+1.5vs3+1, which is very close. Considering the experience and technical advantages of German pilots, it is completely normal.

In Nimitz's view, what really widened the gap between Germany and the United States was the four battleships lost by Ingersoll, more than 20 escort aircraft carriers, thousands of pilots from the China Airlines and the 5 million tons of supplies on the Newfoundland Island...
