BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1126: Roosevelt's concerns
The Russian aircraft has a short range and low reliability. The American B-17 bomber has a long range, and after modification, it can be used as a passenger aircraft.
Before Molotov arrived in the United States, U.S. President Roosevelt was also convening a group of senior government and military officials to discuss the current war situation.
Brussia invaded Ukraine, which gave Germany an excuse to go to war, making this world war break out. The Americans have played a major role in promoting this. If they hadn\'t given Bue courage, Bue would never have such courage.
The reason why the Americans do this is naturally not at ease. They hope to use Bu Russia to consume Germany\'s strength. In this way, when they go to war, they will be under much less pressure.
Therefore, the United States is also paying special attention to the confrontation between Germany and Russia. It\'s just that they didn\'t seem to expect that under the fierce attack of the German army, Buo would be so vulnerable.
"Gentlemen, the Bu-Russian government has informed us that they have sent a special envoy to our country to discuss important matters with us. However, I think there is a very high possibility that the Bu-Russian special envoy is here to ask for help. Germany The strength shown by people this time seems to be extraordinarily powerful!" President Rossi said with a serious face.
Although the United States has not personally participated in the war, everyone knows that this will be inevitable. Once the United States personally ends, it means that the fate of the United States is in the hands of this war. If the United States loses this war, it will completely collapse. Of course, the U.S. government is already heavily in debt. If they can\'t win the war, they have no other way out.
A group of senior military and political officials in the United States also have serious faces. The war has only started for a week, but the German army has already suffered heavy losses in Russia. The Russian army on the front line lost more than one million. A large area of land fell, a large number of soldiers were captured, and a large amount of weapons and equipment were lost. This is undoubtedly a serious blow to Bu Russia.
At the same time, it also allowed the Americans to further see the strength of Germany. Although, after years of development, the U.S. Army\'s military strength has improved a lot compared to before. However, many generals of the U.S. Army privately believe that even if the U.S. Army plays, the final result will not be any better than that of the Russian Army.
"Your Excellency, the German Army is indeed the number one army in the world! After more than 20 years of development, they have become stronger. Whether it is assault force, maneuverability, or the firepower of the troops, they are all very powerful. Especially their tactics. At the beginning of the battle, the Luftwaffe dispatched a large number of planes to bomb the airport on the front line of Russia and Russia, which severely damaged the Russian Air Force. Many fighter planes were blown up before they could take off. , which made the Germans completely master the air supremacy on the battlefield. Next, the American armored forces began to attack, easily tearing through the defense line of the Russian army. And the tanks of the Russian army could not resist The attack of the German armored forces caused many troops to be surrounded by the German armored forces and then eliminated. I have to admit that this new German tactic has achieved great success in Bu Russia. It is also worthwhile We are vigilant." Army Chief of Staff General George Marshall said solemnly.
"If our army fought against the Germans, what would be the result? In other words, can we resist the Germans\' attack?" Vice President John Nance Garner asked.
"Your Excellency, the performance of our army may be a little bit better than that of the Russian army. However, we are also unable to withstand the German attack. If our military strength is comparable to that of Bu Russia, our losses will definitely not be smaller than theirs Where are you going?" Admiral George Marshall said in frustration.
Once again, the complexions of the senior military and political officials in the United States changed again. Even Admiral George Marshall, who is at the helm of the army, has no confidence. Is it necessary to continue this battle?
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, hasn\'t our army acquired a lot of advanced equipment? It has been trained for so many years, why is it still the same result?" Secretary of State Hull asked.
You know, in order to get out of the economic crisis, the United States has vigorously developed its military industry. The military orders issued by the government have completely reborn the US Army and Navy. But now, the army still gave such a result, which naturally made these senior officials somewhat unacceptable.
"Your Excellency Secretary of State, the combat effectiveness of the army has indeed been greatly improved. However, the gap between us and the Germans is still very large. This is not only reflected in the weapons and equipment, but also in the quality of the officers and soldiers. In addition, In terms of tactics, there is also a big gap." Admiral Marshall said.
"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, does this mean that even if we participate in the war, we will not be able to defeat the Germans?" President Roosevelt asked. If this is the result, then all these years of preparation will undoubtedly be useless.
"Your Excellency, if we fight against Germany alone, our chances of winning are indeed very small, and it can even be said that we have no chance of winning. But fortunately, we are not fighting Germany alone. Whether it is Bu Russia or an island country, there are all It is very powerful. If we unite and fight against the Germans all over the world, we will surely be able to disperse the German forces. In this case, we still have the ability to defeat them!" Admiral Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded, he thought so too. Relying solely on the strength of the United States, it is simply impossible to compete with Germany. But if the island countries, Bu Russia, and the United Kingdom are added, they undoubtedly still have a chance of winning. Of course, judging from the performance of the Germans in the war, the odds of winning were not as great as previously expected.
