Since the war has been fought, Fatty Qiu, who is almost driven crazy, has also begun to jump out of his mind. Even the Axis Fleet has been raiding thousands of kilometers long distances and is preparing to attack the Newfoundland Island, which is heavily guarded by the US imperial house, and is very likely. But there are still many people who agree with it, didn't Germany fight last time?

It would be nice to think about it without thinking, otherwise who can explain where these German guys went?

Late at night, he returned in circles on the Atlantic Ocean. Nimitz and Cunningham, who were unable to find the German fleet, also received a notice of the enemy situation. Although they did not think that Germany would be so arrogant, they also believed that the matter was extraordinary and there was a huge strange thing. They were determined to wait until they found out tomorrow.

The garrisons on Newfoundland Island were completely in chaos that night. After the previous Newfoundland Battle, the United States increased its military efforts to the island, not only urgently built a large number of permanent and semi-permanent fortifications, but also planned more than 20 large-caliber coastal defense artillery artillery batteries to completely fortify Newfoundland Island, especially several important ports. The US garrison reached 2 divisions and arranged more than 500 aircraft. In order to prevent the aircraft from being taken over in a sneak attack, the airport was expanded on a large scale, with more than 15 combat airports on the island, and with a large scale transportation airport, it was impossible to completely paralyze it in a round of attacks.

In fact, Churchill's troops in Newfoundland are estimated to be relatively small. The so-called 100,000 people are estimated to be pure ground troops above, not including logistics troops that provide support for strategic transportation, not including anti-aircraft artillery troops guarding the airport, not including coastal defense artillery and engineering troops guarding shore defense, newly built fortifications, nor include radar, telecommunications, gendarmerie, baggage, military supplies and other departments throughout the island, nor include combat forces stationed on the island by the navy. In total, the military personnel who received salary from the U.S. and Canada have more than 160,000 quasi-soldiers.

But even so, everyone was still unsure. Many people were scared by the scale of two German divisions, 8-10 aircraft carriers, and 6-7 battleships. Now the main force of the British and American fleets is in Greenland, and the TF44 squadron has just left South Africa. The United States and Canada cannot even take out a main battleship except for a little light warship and escort aircraft carrier.

Roosevelt was in a good mood in recent days: First, the affairs work was entrusted to Truman, who performed hard and recognized him in all aspects; Second, Congress passed a bill to issue 50 billion special national debts, and the major oligarchs said they would subscribe; Third, the Soviet Red Army had a good offensive momentum, and the US representatives stationed in the Soviet Union reported the news that "the Red Army recovered Central Asia, the Transcaucasus, and eliminated 200,000 Germany, and the Turkish coalition forces are currently launching a large-scale attack on the Caucasus Plain", which made Ross

Fu believes that he gritted his teeth and tried hard to transport supplies, and even the Joint Conference had unrealistic expectations for the Soviet side's next action; fourthly, General Ingram, the commander of the Pacific Fleet, reported that the Japanese fleet that broke the diplomatic relations on the front line of Australia and New Zealand had retreated (presumably exhausted fuel and supplies), and the transport fleet that escorted the aircraft carrier protection finally arrived safely to Australia and New Zealand and sent long-lost supplies; fifthly, Harry Truman passed the party primary election not long ago and officially became the next Democratic presidential candidate.

Truman is not without opponents in the party. James F Burns of South Carolina challenged him, but because of his apartheid status, he was considered too conservative by the party bosses. At the same time, Truman's ability in the Wallace incident and Roosevelt's spare time in his spare time added a lot of points, and he was finally nominated without a risk. In order to make up for Truman's shortcomings of insufficient political qualifications, the party boss (Senate Democratic leader) Alben William Barkley condemned as the vice presidential candidate, he was 7 years older than Truman and 5 years older than Roosevelt, and had a very deep qualification. In addition to the help of Truman's usual supporters Hannegan, McCarthy and others, Truman's scene was also very powerful.

The most striking point is that after returning from the runaway John Kennedy officially retired from the army and joined Truman's campaign team after basically recovering from his "injury", he actively ran and made great efforts to build momentum, invisibly adding a lot of points to Truman.

On the Republican side, Dewey, who had already been appointed, was nominated earlier. The two candidates have expressed their views on the internal and external situations, especially important war issues, respectively. The gunpowder smells strong, but given Wallace's previous experience, no one dares to interrupt the idea of ​​aiding the UK and the Soviet Union. Although Truman's public speaking skills are not as good as Dewey, his momentum and aggressive style overwhelmed the opponent in public debate. The New York Times specially published an observer's comment: "...Mr. Dewey is like a delicate and experienced lawyer, gentle and knowledgeable at the same time. I feel like a very reliable consultant and elder; Truman is like an iron-blooded auditor, selfless and sometimes a little rude, but very responsible. I think the voter group they face is completely different."

But so much good news combined can't stand the negative news caused by Churchill's random speculation. That night, Roosevelt convened an emergency meeting of the Joint Conference. Taking into account his physical and energy, Roosevelt had handed over all administrative affairs to Truman. In addition to major decisions, he focused on military affairs, because he believed that Truman did not have a deep understanding of military affairs and was too dependent on staff. The tendency of the negotiation results was clear, including him and the Joint Conference. Most people thought Churchill's speculation was unlikely, but it still could not be completely ruled out because someone mentioned another direction to the Bermuda Islands.

Of course, the Bermuda Islands are also prepared, but the area of ​​the island is too small, and there is no need to be too many troops and technical equipment. If the German army really dispatched such a large fleet, the island would not be able to defend it anyway. Bermuda alone is not the most worrying thing. What worries Roosevelt the most was the defense of the East Coast. There is no fleet guard now, so the door is wide open. The Germans do not need to land on the East Coast. Just throw a batch of bombs to several major cities on the East Coast, which will be enough for the government and the Joint Conference to be in a state of shame.

In this regard, he couldn't help but envy the geographical advantages of the countries in the Axis. Germany is located in Central Europe and has a deep depth on both sides. Except for the bombers taken off by Britain that can still threaten Germany, the rest of the locations cannot be hit; Italy is closed on the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Suez Canal is closed and after controlling North Africa, it is even more worry-free. Even Japan, which is full of islands, has island covers it in all directions. Only after the United States, which has always claimed to be natural dangers in the two oceans, faces external threats from time to time after losing the Atlantic Ocean's absolute sea control rights, the East Coast faces external threats from time to time. It was normal to eat a few bombs. The British said that bombs have even eaten rockets in recent years. But the American people are particularly fragile and cannot withstand the strike at all. They are forced to shut down the government several times.

This is not Roosevelt's worrying about it. If the East Coast had been subjected to the strategic bombing that Germany had encountered, the people would have been unable to hold on. The American people lived too comfortable and comfortable, so they had a particularly poor ability to resist risks. Any attack on the United States was a nightmare that political leaders could not repel. He never expected that the nightmare he was worried about was not completely groundless. Tykihime was already deploying military operations to prepare to attack the West Coast of the United States. The Kakuda Fleet returned to China to supplement it in this context.

"Can you draw the TF46 fleet back?"

"Not yet." General Jin sighed, "He is already turning around to western Ireland and is preparing to investigate the specific location of the enemy tomorrow. The Germans disappeared too strangely."

"If Bermuda has something to do, won't he be unable to return to rescue in time?" Marshall said unhappily, "Since there are no enemy troops in Ireland, it means that it is a false alarm at most. Why are the fleet still there? It's important to come back early."

General Jin smiled awkwardly but couldn't say anything. Li Hai sighed: "He must go to the investigation first to ensure safety before returning to the country, otherwise Cunningham will go crazy."

"Okay, this damn politics." Marshall finally remembered the fact that there were British people and British ships, and he was so angry that he was so angry that he was tiring about it.

Roosevelt turned his head and asked Eisenhower: "Are the army reinforcements ready? Or is it Matthew's airborne?"

"Both divisions are ready and can be reinforced at any time."

"If you want to change people this time, you'll go." Roosevelt sighed, "You can't always let Matthew rush on the front line. After all, he is a lieutenant general. And he uses the airborne division every time. Even if he can fight, he will be tormented by us. Millions of troops must cultivate some other backbone forces."

Marshall's old face turned red. He actually knew that excessive use of Li Qiwei was not a good thing, but it seemed that this unit was particularly reassuring and the delivery speed was also fast. However, since Roosevelt said that, he had to make some adjustments, otherwise millions of troops would always expect tens of thousands of people to put out the fire, and his position would not be stable.

"After all, the problem is that the military strength, especially the navy, is insufficient. If there is a fleet in the direction of the UK, another powerful fleet in the Pacific Ocean, and a fleet near the local area, our situation will be much better." Roosevelt asked Admiral King, "When will new warships, especially aircraft carriers, be in large quantities?"

"In May, two Essex and one Iowa class can be put into service, and one Essex class can be put into service every month in 6 and 7 months, and another Essex class will be put into service in September. Then, starting from October, you can basically serve two Essex class every month, and by the end of the year, you can serve about 9-10 Essex class."

The Essexes mentioned by General Jin were the products of Roosevelt's bold words "build 24 Essex-class ships a year". Although there were some twists and turns in the middle to ensure the construction of other warships, in the second half of 1944, the US imperial period of violent warships finally arrived.

Roosevelt calculated and took into account the power in his hands. If there were 14-15 Essex-class ships by then, it would be less difficult to form three main fleets. He nodded and said something surprising and meaningful: "When Harry becomes president, you can help him adjust European policies. Perhaps we no longer need the military power of Great Britain."

Everyone was in an uproar...
