Diplomacy and defense power is not important to Iceland now.

When Germany had garrisons, the power of diplomacy and defense was of course in Germany's hands. Now it was just given to Denmark in name. Isn't the Germans still speaking later?

Germany wants this attitude. At the same time, the real benefits Iceland gets are real, fishery resources and jobs, which will significantly improve Iceland's economy. Compared with the Americans who only garrison, the benefits given by the Germans are huge enough to make the neutral Iceland completely surrender to Germany.

As long as they agree first, the parliament can basically pass, which is beneficial to Iceland after all. After the Americans set up such a move, the Icelandic parliament should know who is more reliable.

From Germany launching an attack to Iceland following German control, Germany created a miracle again in less than 36 hours.

After all, unlike before, this is a truly cross-sea landing, or even a preview of attacking the United States. The German Navy's landing method is even more eye-opening and unheard of.

Using hovercraft to rush to the beach at high speed and using helicopters to quickly open up the battlefield behind enemy lines, these methods completely throw the traditional landing operations behind us.

The Americans were surprised. Compared to Iceland's change of hands, they cared more about the landing method. Just as Germany used tanks to organize blitzkriegs and created new military theories, the Germans also opened up a new era in cross-sea landing.

"Damn, what happened to the Germans? They can come up with so many new tricks." Eisenhower said: "Where are our technicians? When will they imitate the same one?"

As an important staff officer of the military command, he came to report to the president personally the great progress he made in the anti-tank field. Just after his report was completed, he heard the latest news about the Battle of Iceland. Everything could not be hidden, and the Germans' methods were exposed.

Hearing this, Eisenhower couldn't help but sigh.

General Nimitz, 56, was also deeply touched: "Yes, the German landing in Iceland is like a preview."

Everyone understands what he means. If the Germans can land in Iceland today, they may land in Greenland tomorrow, and they will arrive in the United States the day after tomorrow!

"Our Atlantic defense line is very fragile in the face of such landing operations." Marshall was also very impressed.

The battle situation in the Pacific was very difficult. Although it sank the island's aircraft carrier, the islanders landed on Midway Island, which was like laying nails under the noses of Americans, which was very unhappy.

The United States is preparing to continue fighting on Midway and drive away the islanders, but in the Atlantic Ocean, such bad news came. Did the Germans take advantage of the tension in the Pacific to launch a war against the United States?

Before the Soviet War ended, the Germans dared to fight on both sides and start a war mode with the United States? This was simply too arrogant and terrible.

The United States has a long coastline in the Atlantic Ocean. If it deploys defense on these coastlines, it will involve the United States' huge energy, and at the same time, they are powerless.

Other people's helicopters land directly behind your defense line and put down the troops in an organized manner. Although they do not carry tanks, the helicopters are enough to serve as flying tanks and provide firepower support. Such a combination is quite terrifying.

How should the United States respond?

Roosevelt didn't speak, only firmness in his eyes, the situation was not that bad, and no matter how bad he was, he believed that there was a solution, and that God would not abandon this last free world.

"I think we should increase our investment in the aviation force." At this moment, Arnold, who had not spoken, spoke.

For the United States, it has vigorously developed its navy, but it has been restrained by the islanders. No matter how many newly built warships there are, they have been sent to the Pacific Ocean. I originally thought that the Germans would not start the destruction mode before defeating the Soviet Union, but who knew that the Germans dared to be so arrogant.

It takes time for naval riots, but in comparison, it is much easier for air force. In this era, the consumption of building an aircraft and a tank is similar.

Arnold is a supporter of the aviation force. In his opinion, the aviation force will dominate the future. At the same time, practice has begun to prove this truth. In the Pacific, battleships did not play much role, and the combination of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft has become the mainstream. Almost this happened in several naval battles.

As long as we arrange a large number of fighter jets, it can hinder the landing of the Germans. How can their helicopters fight against fighter jets?

"Speak." Roosevelt's eyes lit up.

"As long as we arrange front-line aviation bases a hundred kilometers away from the coastline, we can effectively prevent them from landing. At the same time, it is easy for each other to take care of each other. If an airport is bombed, other airports can also take off to meet the enemy, or even field airports, which will make the Germans unable to find it. It is not that easy for the Germans to land across the sea. Our land-based fighter jets will cause the Germans to suffer heavy losses. Isn't this what we do in dealing with the naval formations of the islanders?"

Yes, the situation in Iceland is different from that in the United States. Iceland is not prepared and is surrounded by sea water. The Germans are prone to concealment. At that time, there were not enough water reconnaissance planes, so there was a lack of key observation.

The United States is different. It is fine to monitor the waters 500 kilometers ahead of the coastline, and there is no problem to arrange a large number of aviation bases. If the Germans dare to come, they will use their own fighter jets to greet them!

Even if the guided bomb is not good, at least the tactic of slaughtering water has been proven to be able to be successfully used in actual combat.

Building warships requires a lot of manpower hours, so the time required for aviation troops is much shorter.

"As for now, we still need to face the island country first." Roosevelt spoke: "Although the Germans conquered Iceland, it is impossible to launch an attack on our homeland immediately. Their army is in the Soviet Union. We concentrate our navy forces to continue to deal with the island country, and at the same time we divide the air force to defend our Atlantic coastline first. When the island country is resolved, we will fight the German navy again."

Roosevelt's visionary strategy is completely in line with the current United States.

At the same time, it is no problem to rely on aviation. It is not that easy for the Germans to land on their own territory.
