Rockets, especially those that fall at night, cannot be prevented even if they are detected by radar. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ In the words of von KΓ‘rmΓ‘n and others, in addition to technology, rockets also need some luck and coverage to hit targets, and even the launchers are not sure whether they can hit the target, let alone which rocket can hit which target, so the way to take precautions is very simple - evacuation.
It is precisely the aviation base that is the most difficult type to evacuate, and it is not just the presence of airplanes and runways that can be called an aviation base, but the need for oil depots, towers, radars, antiaircraft artillery positions, and ground support is needed, and the more dispersed they are, the more unfavorable they are to operational command and dispatch, and even more unfavorable to defense.
After dispersing, the rocket can be prevented, but what if it wants to take off and fight?
"What do you propose for the battle of Panama?"
"First, we had to find a way to sink the German rocket-transporting ships; Second, taking advantage of the relative concentration of our air forces, we will try by all means to sink enemy aircraft carriers, especially regular aircraft carriers; Thirdly, efforts should be made to consume the enemy's excellent pilots. Spruance explained, "If we can rely on the Panamanian Army Aviation to weaken the advantages of Japan and Germany in these areas, and use the Panama campaign to gain time, our army will still have a lot to do." After the New Year of 1945, our warships in the Atlantic direction will have some advantages, and with the launch of more Essex-class, the advantages will be more obvious, after all, we build ships quickly.
Of course, I have no objection to making peace with Germany on favorable terms, so that all forces can be assembled as soon as possible to deal with the war in Japan, and there is still much to be done on the whole. β
Arnold wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything: Lu Hang! Army Airlines! Every time, I use Lu Airlines as a meat grinder to consume opponents, and I don't see how many troops Lu Airlines has left! There are more than 1,800 planes in and around Panama, and a third of them are skilled crews, and he doesn't know how to fight this battle in the future. Whether the United States can win or not, he and the Army Airlines are doomed.
MacArthur saw the grief and indignation on his face, so he persuaded: "I understand your suffering, and I also know that the young men of the Army Aviation have paid too much and sacrificed too much for the victory, but the Army Aviation is not your or my personal army, it is the Army Aviation of the United States, the pride of this nation, and the backbone of this army!" Let's grit our teeth together and hold on a little longer? β
Speaking of this, Arnold can only say anything, he can only nod his head.
Dewey cheered him on: "I fully agree with the president's proposal to form an independent air force, and I would even like to propose that in the future the rocket forces should also be handed over to the air force management." β
"I think so." Truman immediately took a stand.
"I agree with the President and Mr. Dewey." MacArthur immediately chimed in.
"The Navy fully agrees."
Clark could see that this was everyone encouraging Landing Voyage to die. Tsk, in addition to the independent air force, the rocket has also been opened, who doesn't know that the rocket has not been seen at all...... However, he is a smart man, so naturally he will not get in the way of such problems. As for the good old man Eisenhower, he has now gone to Pearl Harbor to take up his post -- since it was discovered that the Tsunoda fleet was missing, the four American transport planes and heavy bombardment went directly through the air instead of going around the Aleutian again.
The final policy was set: Panama was not a guaranteed target, but it was necessary to weaken and deplete the strength of Japan and Germany, especially its fleet.
While the Joint Staff Committee was planning to bleed the Axis in Panama, Horiyoshi was flipping through the telegram from Ryunosuke Kusaka, and shook his head slightly after reading it.
"You don't agree with Admiral Tsukahara's performance?"
"It's not that I disagree, I understand what he means, and I agree with his ideas, but his performance is a little too much, too much......" Horikichi laughed at himself, "Actually, I should have thought that Tsukahara-kun is not very good at acting, and it is really difficult for him to let him act." β
Chiaki Matsuda was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "How do you say this?" β
"A lot of people who followed me to Europe bought houses, why was he the only one who was held by Fushimi Palace?"
"This ......" Chiaki Matsuda really didn't think about it, and then humbly asked, "With the opinion of the chief, how should I perform?" β
"If it were me, I would see American diplomats and immediately order sailors to escort them back to the embassy. There is no need to worry about causing a diplomatic incident, Peru dares to make up for us in a big way, and it has already communicated with Germany. β
"Wouldn't that be a failure?"
"With the American's slick way of behaving, the more I don't let him look at him, the more I want to see it, and these diplomats will definitely sneak out at night to observe......," Horikichi smiled, "and then you stare at them, and when they are almost done, you suddenly detain them and threaten to shoot them in the name of intelligence spies, and the bigger the trouble, the better." Then it's time for the Peruvians to come forward, and we will pretend to send a favor to the Peruvians, so that they can bail the Americans back, and remember to pull out the negatives of the American cameras and expose them.
Do you think, is this kind of information for the rest of their lives more credible or is the information that Tsukahara generously entertained them to see the fleet credible? β
"I see, I have been taught, and this skill is really not something that everyone can learn." Horiyoshi sighed, "You are all too upright, it's okay to be a general, and you will inevitably suffer as a politician in the future." β
"It's enough for us to be generals honestly, how dare we think about the government." Chiaki Matsuda laughed at himself, "When a politician is played to death, he doesn't know how to be played." β
"If Ito does this kind of thing, maybe it will be better, and I don't know how well he learned in Germany, don't learn the stereotypical spirit of the Germans, it will be worth the loss."
Ito was a military attache in the United States back then, and Spruance called each other brothers, poured alcohol into each other, and had a clear understanding of the thinking of the United States and Americans.
"So what now? The Americans are not expected to be fooled. β
"It's nothing, whether the Americans are fooled or not has nothing to do with Tsukahara's performance, the goal of our army can be changed." Horikichi smiled, "Let him go north immediately after he replenishes it, and go to scare Panama again, I guess the Americans' nerves are going to collapse...... As far as the Germans are concerned, I have done my duty. β
"Hey, you're not fighting Panama anymore?"
"It's going to be fought, but not now, let's talk about it in another month, the time agreed between the Germans and me is around December." "I think the Germans are playing tricks too, and their target this time is definitely not Recife!" β
"Where would that be?"
"I don't know, but Ozawa will be dispatched in two days, and when he sends a telegram, won't he understand?" Horikichi smiled slightly, "What I'm concerned about now is Tsunoda, where did this guy slip away, don't delay the business." β
At the same time that Horikichi was discussing Ozawa, Machar was also talking to Ozawa about the goal of the October attack, "General Ozawa, the combat goal of our army has been determined, but it is likely to be unexpected ...... you"
"Let me guess, I guess I'm not going to beat Ciphi."
"Yes, before leaving, the FΓΌhrer specially explained that General Yodel had formulated a new campaign goal - the island hopping plan!" Marcal pointed to the spread out nautical charts and said, "The FΓΌhrer ordered that we make a feint attack on Panama this time, and actually attack the port of San Luis in northern Brazil. β
St. Louis is the product of Hoffman's patting the door of the head before leaving, but it is not the result of a random slap on the door of the head, and after pointing out this point, Yodel highly agreed.
St. Luis is a fairly important port in northern Brazil, and its location is delicate, more than 1,000 kilometers from the American army in Guyana and more than 1,000 kilometers from the American army in Recife, in other words, neither side can support it. As for the actual number of troops in the area, it is said that there are less than 200 aircraft and 10,000 people.
Hoffman explained: "The occupation of this city is an outstanding manifestation of our army's control of the Atlantic Ocean, and once it is occupied and consolidated, our army will form a flank attack on the left and right flanks of the American forces in Recife, and at the same time deter the American forces in Guyana." Aren't the Americans now massing to Panama? I'll just pull them out again......"
"And then you're going to fight Panama next?"
"That's right." Hoffman nodded, satisfied with Yodel's comprehension ability, "So let the Japanese go around Panama more for us, draw more attention, and sooner or later scare the Americans out of the psychological shadows." β
"However, Panama may not be easy to occupy, and even if it is occupied, it may not be able to hold it for the time being."
Hoffman nodded, expressing his approval of the other party's judgment, but the next sentence made Yodel laugh again: "It's okay not to fight Panama, continue to jump next, I'll go play French Guiana and see what the Americans do!" I asked the American troops in Recife to stay there in the sun all the time, and Rommel's eyes were wide and small. β
Hoffmann was not afraid of Ridgway's possible counterattack, Rommel put the offensive defense line on the top of the Alakalu, nearly 400 kilometers away from the US army in Recife, and it was of course not cost-effective for the German army to take the initiative to hit the US defense system, but when Ridgway ran out of breath and ran the 400 kilometers before attacking, he would have already lost his sharpness, and he would at most take planes and German troops. However, if the Luftwaffe does not send out a sortie, the attack of the South American Army and Air Force is almost equivalent to sending them to death -- the degree of elite is different, the German troops are shot down and still in the area under their own control, and the Americans are shot down and it will be over.
If Hoffman is forced to hurry again, he can swing the rocket to the Arakalu line, and all the US defense systems on the front line in Recife are within the range of rocket deterrence - you can send meteor showers to the Yankees every day, see what happens to you!
In the early morning of October 15, the main force of the huge Combined Fleet quietly left port, and Major Walker, who had been closely following and sleepless all night, immediately sent a telegram to Washington: "The rats are out of their holes!" Direction unknown. β
The Joint Chiefs of Staff immediately took action, and from now on, Panama and Washington will begin to spend many sleepless nights......
