"Cherbourg, how long will it take?"

White House, Franklin spoke with weakness.

In the past two months, the wheelchair's physical condition has begun to slowly decline, the root cause of which is the huge casualties on the Western Front and the battle of Cherbourg, which has not been able to open up the situation for a long time.

In the Battle of Cherbourg, 40 percent of the more than 750,000 casualties were American soldiers, because of the unique mode of engagement, mainly artillery battles and air raids, as well as storming air defense towers, the death rate was extremely high, with a casualty ratio of more than one-third.

With the super-dense fire of the Cherbourg air defense tower group, the plane that dives and drops bombs is almost certain to die if it is shot down, it is impossible to parachute in the rain of bullets, and the artillery is also long-range cannon heavy artillery bombarding each other, and a hundred caliber is not qualified to go to the battlefield at all.

All beings are equal under heavy artillery.

In other words, more than 100,000 American soldiers died.

And that's not even counting the missing.

In order to reduce the number of casualties, the staff of the Western Front can be said to have exhausted their brain cells, and those who are missing, no matter what the reason, even those who have been bombarded without a trace, are counted as missing.

After all, there is a widespread belief among the population that to go missing is to be captured.

If you count the missing, the two dead on the Western Front have reached 300,000, one of the twenty minutes of the attacking force, and the deaths are counted here, not casualties.

To this day, Cherbourg is still mostly in German hands.

The strategic objectives of the Allies, which were to open up the port of Cherbourg, to open up the surrounding land communication routes, to force the Germans to increase their troops, and to occupy the four 'warehouses', did not materialize.

"It will take at least two months."

Said a general returning from the Western Front.

"At least two months."

Franklin's tone trembled.

The plan is to take Cherbourg in a month.

But now, two months have passed, and then, it will take another two months, or at least.

Because of the delay in opening up the situation, the mustache had two months to integrate the forces of the European continent, more and more people joined his chariot, and the lack of human resources gradually made up for it.

It's so hard to take Cherbourg, so what's the talk of going deep into the European continent? Attacking Germany proper?

"Is there a way to speed things up?"

The president asked.

There must be no unified Europe, and information on 'warehouses' must also be obtained.

"Cooperate with the ground forces to continue the assault."

The general gritted his teeth:

"After two months of offensive, there were also significant losses in the firepower of the Cherbourg anti-aircraft tower group, and many anti-aircraft towers were damaged."

"As long as we dispatch armored troops, cooperate with superior firepower to suppress, force the attack day and night, and uproot the air defense towers one by one, if it goes well, we can take it in about a month."

"How many deaths are we going to pay?"

Mr. President asked.

He asked not the Allies as a whole, but the American troops, how many American GIs were to be filled, and what did it matter to him about the lives of soldiers from other countries? If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, he would have hoped that Qiu Fatzi's troops would be the main force.

"About 300,000."

The general replied, his tone weak.

Obviously, this 300,000 is his minimum number.

Cherbourg's defense system was unexpectedly stronger, and the reinforced concrete strength was also stronger than that generally used by the American military, resulting in the actual offensive effect being weaker than expected.

"At least 300,000 deaths."

Franklin fell into deep thought.

This is a war that determines the future, the loser has no room to turn over in the next hundred years, the winner can gain the right to speak in the world, if the European continent fails, then the United States will always be trapped in the Americas, and it also needs to face the joint suppression of the two giants of Asia and Europe.

At that time, there will be no market for the goods produced by the factories, the factories will go bankrupt, the workers will be industrial, the contradictions in the country will be detonated, the United States will sink forever, and even division is possible.

The dollar will also become waste paper.

So.

"In a month, I need Cherbourg, and where the German military top brass."

Franklin's tone was calm.

It is absolutely impossible to capture a complete 'warehouse', the Germans will definitely destroy it before defeat, but as long as some high-ranking military personnel are captured, it will not be difficult to obtain information about the 'warehouse'.

"Yes."

The general took a deep breath.

After the general left, Franklin called General Groves, the head of the Manhattan Project:

"When can I go into battle?"

He asked.

The probability of victory in ground battles is already extremely low.

Attacking now is only to contain the mustache's strength, as well as to defend the British mainland, to avoid losing the last bridgehead in Europe, and to prevent the bear from withdrawing from the battlefield.

If you want to win, you have to have some other way.

Like what.

Some kind of superweapon.

"It's going to take another thirteen months."

Groves replied:

"We'll have five live ammunition into battle."

"Five."

Mr. President's brow softened.

He had learned about the power of that kind of big bomb, very strong, one is equivalent to the power of more than 10,000 tons of bombs, and the largest can even reach more than 100,000 tons, although this number is comparable to the bombs dropped by the Germans on British soil every day, but the bombs explode one by one, and the effect of integrated explosions is completely different.

It's like the effect of ten thousand grenades and a tall cabinet bomb.

Moreover, the greatest power of this bomb is not the terrifying power of the explosion.

"Can you raise it to ten?"

Mr. President asked.

"Yes."

After a moment's thought, Groves replied:

"Give me two more months, and there are fifteen that can be put into battle."

Although the bombing of Mustache dealt a fatal blow to the Manhattan Project, and a large number of factories were blown up, even if the Yankees had deep pockets and rich backgrounds, it was difficult to recover in a short time.

However, the reduction of raw materials has not been greatly affected, and after solving the factory problem, Uncle Sam can still burst 'eggs' on a large scale.

It's nothing more than a delay of more than a year.

"Good."

Mr. President's brow was completely relaxed this time.

There are fifteen, and the war can be won, of course, provided that at that time, the British Empire and the bear are still fighting, otherwise he is alone, and he doesn't even have a way to throw bombs.

"The 'warehouse' plan?"

Mr. President asked again.

"No clue."

Groves smiled bitterly:

"If it weren't for the military's information, those scientists wouldn't believe that this kind of thing exists, and it's completely impossible in principle."

"Got it."

Franklin nodded.

After Groves left, Mr. President looked at the table again, where was there a 'recruitment' plan for 300,000 devils in the subcontinent, and he was silent for a long time.

These 300,000 cannon fodder are very attractive and a good medicine on the battlefield on the Western Front. The combat power of the little devil is put on the Western Front, which is very suitable, and if you can get the locust, the effect can be doubled.

After some time, the secretary walked in:

"Naval telegrams, no trace of them."

"Got it."

Mr. President nodded, but sighed slightly in his heart.

It's a pity that the side effects of this good medicine are not ordinary, which makes him a little hesitant to speak.

······

"Monk, they're back?"

In Ping'an County, Li Yunlong received a message.

"Yes."

The staff officer replied:

"The transport ship has just arrived in Guam and is being repaired, and it is expected to fly back to Heyuan County tomorrow."

"What about Yamamoto?"

Li Yunlong flashed sharply.

What do the Americans want to do, he knows very well that it is nothing more than that there are too many casualties on the European side, and he wants to find some cannon fodder, if it is someone else, other devil troops, he Li Yunlong may be able to endure it.

But Yamamoto Kazuki and Okamura Ninji are the two and the troops under their command.

When pigs fly.

These two people, as well as many, many devils in the troops under the command of these two people, must die! It's only been a few years, will he forget the hatred in the northwest of Jin? There is no possibility of negotiation.

"Still in contact with them."

The staff officer replied:

"According to the intelligence, they have even negotiated the reorganization plan, and Yamamoto and Gangmura are purging the die-hards in the army."

"Hmph."

Li Yunlong snorted coldly:

"Still not dead?"

Subsequently, he ordered:

"Order Xu Hu to be vivid."

Dealing with the Yankees and British who hook up with the little devils, he is more than just a trick.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to deliver the order.

On the other side, Zhao Gang also called a staff officer:

"Suspend all technical cooperation with the United States."

It's not just a ground-penetrating bomb, because Boss Chen's technology is too advanced, and the European occupation is too tragic, the technical superiority of the German Yankee jet plane makes the Yankees have to find a base to help.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to carry it out.

······

Peiping.

Supreme court.

Although it has not been established for a long time, under the full promotion of Political Commissar Zhao, as well as the leadership of more than a dozen legal masters and more than a dozen doctors of law, the legal system of the base area has been gradually improved, and the infrastructure has been built.

All that's left is advocacy and execution.

Fortunately, the construction brigade and the massive amount of cheap food almost completely destroyed the entrenched clan system, and those who depended on the land to survive were completely wiped out.

The biggest resistance is gone.

Their land was also peacefully dismantled by political commissar Zhao by means of policy, economy, taxation and other means.

Landlords and landlords rely on the land, the ownership of the land, and the output of the land.

However, the low price of grain has hit the food system, and farming is not profitable at all, and unless a purchase contract is signed with the base troops and the purchase is guaranteed at a guaranteed price, the more the land will be farmed.

And it's a blood deficit.

But the purchase contract is available to the landlord?

Even if some people got it through special means, it was quickly discovered, because Zhao Gang specially invited dozens of masters to lead the team to form dozens of inspection teams, all of which were free to inspect the base area irregularly and freely, and report directly to him.

If you do get it, it will save trouble.

As for not farming, that's not okay, look at how many people starved to death before? This is an act that endangers the food security of the base area, and during the war, it is a serious crime and a heavy punishment. Staple foods must also be grown.

After this set, the landlords must not quickly abandon the fields in their hands?

After the base area is taken over, it will be directly contracted to the common people.

Although the price of grain in the market is low, many ordinary people farm land for their own consumption, and they also have the base to purchase at a guaranteed price, and some of them make money in addition to the cost of seeds and grain.

Of course, there will be people who think that buying cheap grain from the market and then bidding for it to make money?

Pity.

All the processed grains such as rice and flour are sold in the base areas, while rice and wheat grains are purchased, and as for soybeans and corn, the quotation purchase is not carried out for the time being, and only seeds and fertilizers are subsidized.

Under such circumstances, the people in the base areas have a very strong centripetal force and a very high degree of trust in the troops, and there is no difficulty in implementing the policy at all, and some problems can be solved very quickly.

Today, 17 Mi and 20 Japanese are escorted into this courtroom. Along with them were some American lawyers, as well as reporters holding cameras.

In the afternoon of the same day.

A piece of bombshell news spread all over the world.

······

A few days later.

Subcontinent.

"Li Yunlong actually arrested seventeen Mi people for a public trial."

Gangcun looked at the news in his hand and said in a shocked tone.

Li Yunlong actually dared to make a move against the United States, and he arrested seventeen seventeen people who had a lot of influence in the United States, and even tried them publicly, completely without giving the United States face, which made Gangcun feel incredible.

At the same time, he also had a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Li Yunlong dares to provoke the United States, and the United States will inevitably launch a counterattack.

The United States is not an empire, with strong industrial and economic strength, profound heritage, and huge international influence, even if it is currently deep in the European battlefield, it is not easy to provoke.

He's looking forward to what's next.

After all, this is a good thing for him, when Mi Guo and Li Yunlong have a conflict, or even turn their faces, then they will be safer, and they will not have to worry about Mi Guo selling them, and they may even have the opportunity to meet Li Yunlong and taunt them.

"Sure enough."

However, Yamamoto showed a sudden expression, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart:

"Li Yunlong really made a move, this is his style."

"Shot?"

Gangcun was a little puzzled.

"The seventeen Mi people captured by Li Yunlong were businessmen who had done business with the empire and sold a complete oil field facility to the empire, as well as some control equipment."

Yamamoto says:

"Li Yunlong, this is deterring the United States."

"Deter the United States!"

Gangcun was shocked.

Although he didn't know as much about Li Yunlong as Yamamoto, he still felt in his heart that the strength of the Republic of China was weak, and it was nothing more than relying on the assistance of others to defeat the empire, so that he always looked down on the Republic of China, and his own strength was not strong.

It can be said that it is strong in the middle.

At this time, Yamamoto reminded him, and he reacted.

"Why?"

Gangcun also vaguely had some ideas, but he felt that it was unreal.

"Why?"

Yamamoto looked at Gangmura.

Whether it was Okamura, the Locust, or the cabinet ministers, Tojo and Yone, there was a fatal problem, and it was also the core problem of the failure of the Great Japanese Empire.

Everyone, from beginning to end, didn't really get their mindset right.

Everyone knew that Li Yunlong's strength far surpassed that of the empire, but in their hearts, everyone still refused to admit this reality, and did not treat him as a terrible and difficult opponent to defeat.

This is not an opponent that can be defeated in a decisive battle.

Otherwise, there would not have been a matter of the United Fleet being almost completely wiped out at one time.

Of course, this is also normal.

Because it's just too fast.

"For us."

Yamamoto shook his head:

"Because we were in contact with Britain and the United States, Li Yunlong was unhappy, so he arrested these people to deter the United States from continuing to contact us and accept our surrender."

"And, I'm sure, he's going to make bigger moves next."

Relying on the arrest of these seventeen people, the deterrence was completely insufficient, so Yamamoto was sure in his heart that Li Yunlong would definitely make more ruthless moves.
