Third Reich: I took over power

On the evening of October 8, 1942, in the White Palace, Washington.

General Henry Arnold, commander of the Eagle Army Air Force, and General Carl Spaatz, chief of staff, were reporting to the Franklin administration on the situation of the air battle and the Army Air Force's next plans.

Chief of Staff of the Army General George Marshall and Chief of Naval Operations General Harold Stark also attended this meeting.

"Your Excellency, our losses are too great. The strength of the Third Reich Air Force on New Zealand Island has not only not been eliminated by us, but is still growing. It is no longer possible for us to destroy the airport on New Island and defeat the Third Reich Air Force. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Third Reich Air Force has more than 2,000 fighter planes deployed on Neufenland Island. Coupled with their large number of carrier-based aircraft, it is simply impossible for us to destroy New Fenlan Island. In addition, we lost a large number of combat aircraft in previous air battles. Next, we may not be able to attack anymore. Even more, we have to consider how to defend ourselves."Admiral Henry Arnold said.

Franklin frowned and his face became even more ugly.

"Even if our losses are huge, we still have at least 12,000 combat aircraft, right? How could it lose its offensive ability?"The Franklin administration was very dissatisfied with this statement.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we still have more than 12,000 combat aircraft. However, these fighters have to guard a huge area. We need at least two thousand combat aircraft on the West Coast. At least 2,000 combat aircraft will be deployed in the south and Mexico. The east coast is the focus of our defense. At least four thousand combat aircraft need to be deployed at various airports on the east coast. As a result, the number of fighter planes we deployed in the northeast is only over 4,000. When facing the Third Reich Air Force and their naval carrier-based aircraft forces, we no longer have any advantage. In fact, it is at a disadvantage."General Carl Spaatz said.

When Franklin took office, he immediately felt that the strength of the Army Air Force was really stretched.

The strength of the Army Air Force seemed to be very large, but after deducting the fighter planes deployed in various places, it could be devoted to the offensive. There are already very few fighter planes among them. And the strength of the Third Reich Air Force has been strengthened, which makes it impossible for the Eagle Army Air Force to win in the air battle.

"Your Excellency, the Royal Air Force of the Empire has been completely depleted and can no longer continue fighting. Now, we can only rely on ourselves. If we continue to launch attacks and consume our vitality in air combat. Next, I'm afraid it will be impossible to stop the Third Reich's attack."General Henry Arnold reminded.

Franklin couldn't help but feel nervous when he took office.

His expectation all along was to prevent the United States from attacking the mainland of the Eagle Country.

Now that the Army Air Force has suffered such heavy losses, if it cannot prevent the attack on the Eagle Country If we launch an attack on the mainland, it will be troublesome.

"Guys, what should we do now?"Franklin didn't know what to do when he was in power. Although he was in power, he was born a human being after all. He only had a partial understanding of the war.

Under such circumstances, I'm afraid I have to listen to the opinions of these professionals..

Joseph’s lessons are already there, and Franklin naturally wants to avoid such a thing from happening again.

"Your Excellency, the Army Air Force suffered heavy losses. The morale of the pilots also took a heavy hit. Under such circumstances, it is indeed no longer suitable to launch another attack. Rather than letting our pilots and fighter planes lose in vain, it is better to switch from offense to defense, accumulate strength, and prepare for subsequent wars." said General George Marshall.

Although the Army Air Force has the ambition to be upgraded to the Air Force, the Army Air Force currently belongs to the Army. The commander of the Army Air Force, General Henry Arnold, also serves as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army.

In Under such circumstances, General George Marshall naturally wanted to speak for the Army Air Force.

What's more, the current situation is already very unfavorable to the Army Air Force. If the Army Air Force is allowed to attack again, wouldn't it mean that they should go Are you going to die?

President Franklin nodded:"In that case, the Army Air Force will temporarily stop attacking. However, the Army Air Force must strengthen local air defense. The Third Reich occupies the New Blue Island. After establishing a foothold there, it will inevitably use the New Blue Island as the basis to launch indiscriminate bombing of our country. During the Third Reich's war against the Woolly Bear Alliance, they dispatched a large number of bombers to destroy the Woolly Bear Alliance's industrial areas and large cities, thereby weakening the Woolly Bear Alliance's war potential and making it possible for the Woolly Bear Alliance to mobilize a huge army. , and could not arm these armies, so that they were easily defeated by the Third Reich. So, we must learn this lesson. Our industrial areas must be protected"

"Your Excellency, our industrial area is too close to New Zealand Island. Once the Third Reich launches a violent air raid, it may be difficult to ensure that the industrial area remains intact. Therefore, it is best for us to prepare in advance."Said General Henry Arnold.

Obviously, General Henry Arnold did not have much confidence in holding the airspace and defending the industrial zone.

The Franklin administration undoubtedly understood what General Henry Arnold meant, and his face suddenly became even more ugly.

This war Since the outbreak, everything has deviated from his previous expectations. And the deviation is getting bigger and bigger. This makes the Franklin administration more and more worried about this war. He is worried that the war situation will become more and more unfavorable to the Eagle Country, and eventually lose this war

"Your Excellency, we do need to decentralize the industrial areas. Especially for many military industrial enterprises, it is best to move westward to the central region. In this way, air raids by the Third Reich could be avoided. Ensure that when the east coast is attacked, we can still obtain a steady stream of weapons, equipment and war supplies. It will be very beneficial to our national defense security." said Gen. George Michel.

"Well, Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, let the Army Staff be responsible for organizing the transfer of military-industrial enterprises. No matter what, we must do our best to win this war. Only in this way can we save our country. Once the war fails, our country will be doomed." Franklin said

"Yes, Your Majesty the Governor!"Admiral George Marshall replied.
