Chapter 1730: The good show is in the back 5)
There have always been conflicts between the various branches of the United States.
At first it was the navy and the army, and later it was the navy, army and air force. The conflicts in normal times were the contradictions, and it was absolutely intolerable to drag down at this time.
These are all for the interests of the United States. In the past, it would be fine if there was any move behind the scenes. But this time, it was related to the life and death of the United States. If the Navy still had to do this, Arnold would never tolerate it.
Admiral Kim's face was deeply exhausted, and he looked at Arnold and said, "We know that the Germans regarded Greenland as their next goal, and we also made a lot of preparations. Now, the battle has begun. If the Germans occupy Greenland without any effort, what does this mean?"
Hearing this, Arnold was stunned. Indeed, he didn't seem to think so far.
"The Germans will definitely know that we were deliberately letting go, so why would the Germans not be vigilant? In what war has the Germans suffered in these years? That Cirick is even more cunning than a fox." General Jin said: "Even if we fail in the end, we must fail after heroic resistance, and we must let the Germans know our determination to guard Greenland. For this reason, our navy must make major sacrifices. We are mentally prepared for these, and our navy voluntarily sacrificed for the sake of the United States."
When he heard this, Arnold knew that he could no longer complain.
Yes, there are some omissions in their tactics. The most powerful thing in the United States is the aviation army now. If the German navy comes in large numbers but the aviation army does not resist desperately, it will be called something wrong and will definitely be seen through by the Germans. If they are mentally prepared when returning, the plan may not be successful!
Just when he wanted to nod, he saw Nimitz's flickering expression sitting at the back. In an instant, his heart was like a mirror. Admiral Jin was complaining here, which was actually just one aspect!
Although there was a tenacious resistance, the Germans thought that this was the reason for their real combat effectiveness, and there was another intention. What if the navy did it on its own? No need to do it, even if the two aircraft carriers of the German Navy were destroyed, the German Navy would have to retreat.
Cunning guy!
Although Arnold knew in his heart, he could not say anything at this time, so he could only wait quietly for Roosevelt.
This is a national war. Once it fails, the United States will face an even more terrifying situation. Roosevelt is under heavy pressure.
When the Navy proposed their plan to attack with all their strength, Roosevelt also approved that this time, it was a battle of all its strength, and the whole world must see the combat effectiveness of the United States!
In this world, as long as the United States is present, Germany will not be arrogant all the time!
The US Navy dispatched ten carrier-based aircraft wings, with a total of nearly 800 aircraft.
These aircraft cannot all be dispatched together. The ones flying in the front were a group of old F2As. Yes, it was only 37 years before the US Navy was complacently thought to be the most advanced aircraft carrier-based aircraft. Now it is completely out of date. In the Pacific, it is impossible to seize air supremacy with the island country's Zero fighter jets, let alone air combat with German fighters.
f2a is just a bait, attracting German fighter jets to intercept, so that their air defense forces can be consumed to provide opportunities for the attacking troops behind.
When it comes to operating aircraft carriers, the United States definitely has a say. After the aircraft carrier is deployed once and released the fleet, it loses most of its combat effectiveness, attracting their fighter jets to be dispatched, and then launches the deadliest attack on the German navy from other directions!
Battleship Hindenburg.
This is the command ship of the entire formation. Although aircraft carriers have now become the main naval combat weapon, any naval commander still likes to sit on tall and mighty battleships. This is a traditional inertial thinking.
Redell is studying it carefully.
"The Americans couldn't hold back and dispatched their fighter planes to sneak attack our formation. Fortunately, we had the sea eye and discovered them in advance. Now, we will take off our carrier-based aircraft and kill all the American fighter planes!" Redel's fist was tightly clenched, and this battle was destined to be recorded in history.
"Report." At this moment, an adjutant said: "Lieutenant General Mashar suggested that the enemy situation is unknown, and we should not dispatch too many carrier-based aircraft, and release at most two aircraft carriers to leave more responses to emergencies."
If Raidel had not come in person with great enthusiasm, this battle would have been commanded by Lieutenant General Mashar.
Now, Redel commands the entire fleet on the battleship, while Lieutenant General Mashal commands the aircraft carrier formation on the USS Hitler behind.
When Redel's order was issued, Lieutenant General Mashar immediately responded to his opinions.
Although the US Navy's fleet has been discovered before, and the size is more than 100, this is not necessarily the full strength of the United States. What if all carrier-based aircraft are released in advance and when it is recycled, a large number of American aircraft will appear?
Redel's face suddenly shook his muscles on his excited face. It was quite speechless to be suggested by his subordinates at this time, but after a little embarrassment, he also realized the mistake of his command.
"Order Lieutenant General Mashar to command this interception operation against American fighter jets." Raidel quickly made a decision.
When it comes to commanding naval aviation, I am indeed not as professional as Lieutenant General Mashar. In this case, if your command errors occur, it may bring terrible consequences that the empire cannot afford.
Redell could command the entire fleet, but the command of specific aircraft carrier-based aircraft was delegated to Mashar.
On the Hitler aircraft carrier, Lieutenant General Mashar received the order from the flagship and was very happy. He saluted the Hindenburg. Commander, let’s see ours!
"Order Count Zeppelin and Munich to take off 40 FW190 fighters each to intercept and prepare for other fighters."
Lieutenant General Mashar was more cautious, and only 80 aircraft carriers took off.
Generally speaking, when intercepting operations, you should take off more fighters. Only when the number exceeds the opponent, will it be easy to stop the opponent. As long as one escapes the net, it will fly over the fleet. If one hits, it will be enough for the German Navy to drink a pot.
However, Mashar was not in a hurry. The news came from the front that these planes were just buffaloes, and the main fighter planes in the United States had not moved yet!
Good show is behind.
