Chapter 816: Can the Führer's Plan Succeed?
"Yuan is going to make a big move!"
When Kessellin opened the telegram that Chen Yanlong gave him and read it, his eyes immediately lit up, and he said sharply.
"What's the big move?"
Seeing Kesselring's reaction so much, Operations Staff Officer August Mark subconsciously asked.
"If you shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
"This is the highest military secret!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kesselring glared sharply at Operations Staff Officer August Mark.
"Yes! I'm sorry! Marshal! ”
Seeing this, August Mark, the combat staff officer, also immediately responded in a cold sweat.
"You immediately send me an order to the Air Force to send two groups of pilots to Berlin at once, and obey the Führer's orders!"
Kesselring ignored the other man's fears, and immediately gave a new order.
"Yes! Marshal! ”
Operations Staff Officer August Mark again immediately agreed.
Then he hurried away and went off to do business.
Kesselring, on the other hand, stood in the command center in a state of agitation, lost in thought.
Because Chen Yanlong's telegram to him clearly stated that the combat mission was to bomb the atomic bomb research institute set up by the US military in the vicinity of Oak Ridge and the Mexican desert.
"Will the Führer's plan succeed?"
"Is the United States too far away from our homeland? And our aviation forces are not at all familiar with their terrain! ”
It was a long time before Kesselring muttered softly.
And at this time, Dönitz also received the order sent to him by Chen Yanlong on the aircraft carrier where he was located.
Let him send an aircraft carrier fleet to Chen Yanlong to bomb the atomic bomb research base on the mainland of the United States, and he still needs an elite aircraft carrier fleet.
As well as enough carrier-based aircraft and escort fleets, as well as fleet commanders with combat experience.
Dönitz was also stunned for a while, and he didn't know which fleet to send to Chen Yanlong for a while.
Because the current Battle of Sicily and the Battle of Cassino are in full swing.
In other words, he is responsible for the defense and combat missions of the entire Mediterranean region, and he absolutely cannot lose sea and air supremacy in the Mediterranean.
"Why did the Führer suddenly send an aircraft carrier fleet and air force to bomb the US atomic bomb research base? Could it be that the U.S. military has already succeeded in developing an atomic bomb? ”
"But can't we bomb later? Now both the eastern and western fronts are in the midst of large-scale battles! ”
"If a large number of elite aircraft carrier fleets are dispatched to attack with carrier-based aircraft groups now, I am afraid that it will have a very adverse impact on our navy and air force and the enemy's struggle for sea and air supremacy!"
Regarding Chen Yanlong's order to transfer troops, Dönitz muttered to himself with concern on his face.
"However, if the U.S. military really develops the rumored terrifying super bomb like the atomic bomb, then it will be even more disastrous for our war!"
"Forget it! Let's first go and blow up the atomic bomb base of the US military according to the Führer's order! ”
"It's all because those spies are too useless, but the Führer sent a lot of spies to infiltrate the US military's atomic bomb base two months ago, but there has been no movement until now!"
"If it weren't for the fact that they are so useless, then we wouldn't have been sent so much manpower and material resources by the Führer to carry out bombing missions on the US mainland this time!"
"I'm afraid this ocean-going bombing mission will be very risky! It's the base camp of the U.S. military, and the manpower is abundant! ”
The more Dönitz thought about it, the more he felt that the future situation of the aircraft carrier fleet he was about to deploy was not optimistic at all.
But no matter how much Dönitz was worried about the risks he was about to face, he finally transferred an aircraft carrier fleet with rich combat experience from his own aircraft carrier fleet to Chen Yanlong to bomb the atomic bomb development base on the US mainland.
