Jagged Germany

Chapter 1554: Homeland Defense Plan (seeking monthly ticket)

"Gentlemen, although the navy failed once, I still have full confidence in them. I hope that everyone can have confidence in the navy and believe that they can defeat powerful enemies in future wars. However, the result of the war Before the announcement, no one can be sure that we can defeat the Germans. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst. If the Navy fails again, what should we do?" President Roosevelt asked.

??The faces of Stimson, Admiral Marshall, Admiral Arnold and others suddenly became very ugly. Needless to say, if the U.S. Navy fails, the U.S. Army may have to step up. At that time, they will fight the Germans to the end in order to defend their homeland.

?? "Your Excellency, if the situation really reaches that point, we must prepare for a decisive battle with the Germans on the mainland." Admiral Marshall said.

?? Of course, they have another option, which is to surrender to the Germans. But Admiral Marshall knew that President Roosevelt would never agree to this. Therefore, they can only choose to fight to the end.

??President Roosevelt nodded: "I hope the Army can make preparations for this. Once the Navy loses again, the Army must assume the responsibility of stopping the Germans on the mainland, or even defeating the German invasion in one fell swoop!"

?? "Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Admiral Marshall and others replied.

??From President Roosevelt's words, they understood President Roosevelt's determination. The Army has become President Roosevelt's last force, and it is hoped that they will win.

?? However, they all know that the German Navy is strong, but the same German Army is stronger. The difficulty for the U.S. Army to defeat the German Army can be imagined. Even with the barrier of the vast Atlantic Ocean, it is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether the Atlantic Ocean can withstand the footsteps of the German Army with Germany's strong shipping strength. All in all, once the German Army really lands in the United States, this will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for the US Army.

?? Similarly, by that time, they will have no way out. Once defeated by the German Army, not only will they perish, but the United States will also perish.

"Your Excellency, if we want to fight against the German Army, we need stronger troops to stop more armored and mechanized troops. The German Army, on the Russian battlefield, relied on its powerful armored and mechanized troops to defeat Russia. The army suffered terribly and suffered heavy losses," Admiral Marshall said.

??President Roosevelt nodded. He has approved the Army's plan to build 12 armored divisions. Moreover, these armored divisions are not like another time and space, there are only two heavy armored divisions, and the remaining 10 are light armored divisions. The 12 armored divisions in this time and space are all heavy armored divisions.

"Your Excellency, according to the information we have, the German Army has 38 armored divisions and 76 mechanized infantry divisions. We must build at least 25 armored divisions and 50 mechanized infantry divisions to be able to resist the Germans. If possible , It is even necessary to further build more armored and mechanized units." Admiral Marshall continued.

??President Roosevelt frowned involuntarily. The construction of so many armored and mechanized units is not just talk. It's not something that can be decided by just slapping your head. After all, every armored division and mechanized infantry division needs a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and trucks. These all require a lot of resources. In the case where the United States' war resources are largely tilted towards the navy, the resources that can be given to the army are relatively much less. Therefore, it is not so easy for the U.S. Army to build so many armored and mechanized troops.

?? "The government will find a way to provide as much resources as possible to the Army to ensure the successful completion of the Army's development plan!" President Roosevelt said. Although he knew it was very difficult, for the safety of the United States and the victory in future wars, they had no choice but to do their best.

?? "Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Admiral Marshall nodded.

"Your Excellency, the Army Air Corps also needs to be equipped with more advanced fighter jets. The information obtained before has confirmed that our P-40 fighter jets are completely incapable of confronting the advanced German fighter jets. Therefore, we need to further purchase more P-47 fighter jets and P-51 fighter jets. In addition, the army also needs to equip more dive bombers, so that once the navy loses and the German navy approaches the United States, we can also use dive bombers to attack them. In the army's operations , Dive bombers are also very useful for attacking ground targets. The German Air Force is also equipped with a large number of dive bombers to assist the German Army in operations." Admiral Arnold said.

President Roosevelt did not have any objection to this. He had also read about the German army's combat operations on the Russian battlefield, and knew that before the German Army's armored forces launched an offensive again, the German Air Force had destroyed the Russian Air Force with its powerful strength, and in the follow-up During the battle, it provided sufficient air cover for the German Army's offensive. It is precisely because of this that the armored forces of the German Army can drive straight in and easily defeat the Russian Army.

??If you don’t want the U.S. Army to be easily defeated by the German Army like the Russian Army, then the U.S. Army Air Force must be able to resist the German Air Force’s attack in future operations. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.

?? "General Arnold, the government will approve the purchase of P-47 fighter jets, P-51 fighter jets and dive bombers. I hope that the Army Air Force will definitely resist the Luftwaffe in the next battle!" President Roosevelt said.

?? "Yes, Your Excellency the President!" Admiral Arnold replied.

??Admiral Arnold is still very confident about the next battle. He believes that because of the blockage of the Atlantic Ocean, it is not so easy for the Luftwaffe to attack the US Army Air Force. Therefore, if their strength is further strengthened, they can completely withstand the German Air Force.

"Everyone, in the next time, I hope that the strength of the army will be further improved. And I will be ready on the east coast. Once the German army dares to land on the American continent, then the army must defeat the German army and ensure the mainland safety!" said President Roosevelt. This is undoubtedly his last bottom line.
