"They say that there is no such thing as space technology, and that is not scientific."

Hearing the staff officer's report, Franklin's face darkened on the spot.

No?

Unscientific?

How did you transport hundreds of heavy guns, including large-caliber shore guns, hundreds of tanks, and tens of millions of tons of fuel oil to the Ryukyus without any large transport ships or ocean-going ships?

"Are there any hints of countermeasures or restrictions?"

Franklin continued.

It doesn't matter if he admits it or not, all he wants is how to counter it, or how to limit this technology.

Just give a hint.

Otherwise, millions of troops are deployed on the mainland every day to guard against the sudden arrival of the Germans, which will affect the war situation too much, but it is not enough to let the land be empty, once the Germans land on the mainland, it will not take too much, a few armored divisions will be enough to cause great turmoil in the entire United States.

You know, this is a country of immigrants.

The previous bombing was troublesome enough.

Although he received national support for the war, a large number of parliamentarians demanded that the homeland's air defenses be strengthened, and he had to deploy a large number of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the east coast and inland, and a large number of fighter planes patrolling every day to silence the mouths of the legislators and the public.

Otherwise, the British mainland would not have been bombed so badly.

The losses of the German bombers would also have increased considerably.

"We asked."

The secretary replied:

"But they always say the same thing, there is no similar technology, and they don't know how to counteract."

Speaking of this, the secretary lowered his tone:

"They even suggested that we watch a little less sci-fi."

"I see."

Franklin couldn't help but rub his forehead, he felt that his blood pressure was a little uncontrollable.

Then he took a deep breath and controlled his temper.

If the other party doesn't give it, and in his expectation, he can judge that country will be a strong opponent of the United States in the future, so that group of people is not stupid, and they can naturally deduce the future situation.

Take this opportunity to weaken the opponent and normal.

He understands.

But understanding is understanding, whether he can accept it is another matter, he is very unhappy now but has not reduced at all, and even has an impulse in his heart to directly start a war with the other party.

"Inform the Minister of Finance to immediately increase the purchase price of gold."

Taking a few deep breaths again, Franklin said suddenly.

Because a large number of central banks have printed a lot of money and the fiscal has been released, the depreciation of the dollar has actually begun, but the price of gold has been fixed, so the Ministry of Finance intends to take advantage of the trend to raise the price of gold.

It was originally intended to be executed in a few months, but now that Franklin was angry, he immediately executed it.

As the British Empire was bombed and the pound fell all the way, the Deutsche Mark soared, but it fell too hard before, and Germany was trapped on the European continent and lacked shipping, so it was not good in the international market.

Other currencies that are not available.

In addition, after entering the world, with the pressure of the international economy, the medicines and grains of the Republic of China were also 'forced' to start settling in US dollars, which further enhanced the market's confidence in the US dollar.

With such unique conditions, the dollar has been rising, and a large number of international investors have chosen to increase their holdings of the dollar, and it is precisely because of this that he has printed a large number of dollars, and the depreciation of the dollar is far lower than expected.

This is not a good thing.

In fact, they want the dollar to depreciate gradually, at a steady pace.

In this way, we will be able to harvest wealth from all over the world, and we will be able to release the blood of international capital that uses the dollar as a safe haven.

In addition to slightly expanding the speed of money printing, another trick is to raise the price of gold, which can not only promote the slow depreciation of the dollar, but also accelerate the collection of gold from the Republic of China.

Kill two birds with one stone.

And the loss of a large amount of gold, presumably those people will be very distressed.

Of course, this is also the only way he can limit that group, and as for limiting talents, he has also thought about it.

But for the United States, this kind of grassroots technical talent is actually overflowing, and these people will not enter the army to serve, and even if he restricts it, there will still be a large number of talents to pan for gold, and it is better to use this to collect gold.

"Ask Groves (Manhattan head), how is space technology research going?"

Franklin retracted his thoughts to the question at hand.

How to limit the Germans' use of that weird 'space' technology.

If others don't give hints, then you can only do your own research.

"Yes."

The secretary nodded and left.

"Let Donovan in."

Franklin then met with his henchman, the Director of Intelligence.

"Found the clue of that Chen Fan?"

Looking at Donovan with a smile, Mr. President subconsciously thought, and asked directly by the way.

You really can't open any pot.

This sentence made Donovan's smile, who was originally smiling, collapse directly, and a new word he recently learned came to his mind.

This time, he learned it in the process of investigating Chen Fan.

"Nope."

Donovan sighed.

Investigate Chen Fan's information?

A few months ago, he often dreamed about it, dreaming that he had captured this person and detained him back to the United States, dozens of times, but now, he hadn't found this person in his dreams for a long time.

However, there have been a few dreams that I was forced to resign and lose power because I didn't find this person.

"What's the news then?"

The president frowned, and a thought came to his mind again.

Isn't it time for the head of the intelligence bureau to change?

"Although there is no information about Chen Fan, I have obtained some intelligence from Europe."

Donovan's smile returned.

He believed that this unexpected information obtained by him would certainly be of great interest to the president and would have a great impact on the war situation in Europe.

"What information?"

President Franklin came interested.

Aside from the recent crotch pulling, in fact, Donovan is very capable and provides a lot of intelligence support for his decision-making, especially during the war against Japan, and he has made outstanding achievements.

"I got the exact location of the 'warehouse' over there in Cherbourg, as well as some detailed information."

Donovan raised his tone.

"Oh? Tell me about it! ”

Franklin was overjoyed, and there was a feeling of another village.

He is having a headache about how to counter the Germans' 'space warehouse' technology, he has actually been paying attention to his own research, not to mention how to limit it, and even one by one is still saying that this technology is impossible, unscientific - others have used it, you say it is not scientific here?

A bunch of waste.

"According to reliable intelligence sources."

Donovan calmed down:

"The 'warehouse' of Cherbourg is located on the east side of the city, about ten kilometers from the city center, in the center of the anti-aircraft tower group of super-giant anti-aircraft towers No. 37."

"Hmm."

Franklin continued to stare at Donovan.

This intelligence does not need to be investigated, and he can guess that the most important logistics center is naturally in the safest place, and in this kind of large-scale battlefield, there is no such thing as the safest place.

There is no such hole to exploit.

However, he was a little surprised to find out which anti-aircraft tower he had investigated.

The so-called super giant anti-aircraft tower is the largest kind of anti-aircraft tower, which is small in number, but extremely strong in combat.

The twin 128 high-level dual-purpose guns were changed to eight, with a mechanical transmission base, and the turret was an all-battleship turret with thick armor protection, and there was a high platform in the middle of the tower, on which was a 15-inch twin naval gun.

Judging from the aerial photos, there are only three in the whole of Cherbourg.

"This kind of 'warehouse' can be built very quickly, it only takes a few hours to build, there is no site limitation, no external energy is required, light infantry can carry and build, any weapons and materials can be transported, as small as bullets, large as heavy bombers can be transported, food and fuel can also be transported, but it cannot transport personnel, and once it is established, it cannot be moved."

"Also, there is a limit to the time between constructions, but the exact time is not clear."

Donovan continued.

Because of the number limit, the Eastern Front could not directly use the 'warehouse' for supplies, so the old fox and Kesselring made up a series of words to block the mouths of some marshals and generals.

"Is the information reliable?"

Franklin looked solemn.

"The news is from several military insiders, with different channels and reliable confirmations."

Donovan said affirmatively.

"It can be set up in a few hours, and you can transport anything, but you can't transport people."

Franklin wiped his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

This information alone made him break out in a cold sweat.

The root of the strength of modern warfare and the modern military system lies in all kinds of weapons and equipment, and the difficulty of maneuvering also lies in weapons and equipment.

A troop carrier, a cruise ship, has the strength to easily transport a division.

The six-engine bomber of the Germans and the ten-engine bomber of the Republic of China can transport hundreds of people with a little modification, and even a submarine can transport half a battalion, of course, there are a large number of warships patrolling the Atlantic, and a large number of warplanes patrolling the west coast.

This way, the chances are slim.

But.

It's always simple to take off your military uniform and sneak in as an ordinary person, it's very easy to assemble, and then, build warehouses, pull out tanks, planes, artillery, and then, reinforced concrete, food.

America invaded by the enemy?

New York occupied by the enemy?

Thinking of this, Franklin felt a thrill.

Judging from the example of the war in the western Pacific, this is completely achievable.

"You said you can't move?"

Suddenly, President Franklin remembered the dot in this piece of information.

Once it's built, it can't be moved!

"Yes."

Donovan nodded, in an affirmative tone.

"Any other news? Let's go down first, continue to investigate the corresponding information, and let me know as soon as there is any news. ”

After waving his hand and letting Donovan leave, President Franklin fell into deep thought.

After a long time, there was a sudden flash in his eyes, and then he called a secretary:

"Notice to Eisenhower..."

If you can't carry out your own research, and the people in the Republic of China don't cooperate, you can only use other means.

That day.

Inside the staff headquarters of the Western Front, an order was placed on the table - to take Cherbourg as quickly as possible, regardless of the cost.
