Chapter Seventy-Three: Chu Yunfei's Happiness!
When the newly minted President of the United States, Harry Truman, falls asleep with a smile, the Old Fox and Kesselring decide to speed up the war, and the Bearded Man decides to fight a massive counterattack at all costs.
New York.
The roar of three hundred giant bombers resounded in the sky, and people on the beach looked up and looked at the sky.
"Spread out and bomb their intended targets."
The leading captain took a deep breath and said with determination:
"For the sake of freedom, for our families and friends not to be oppressed, and to have a good life, we must eliminate the evil capitalists in America and stop them from researching the weapons of evil."
"This mission can only succeed, not fail."
"Even if it hits, the target must be eliminated."
In the resolute tone, there was more of a mad faith.
"Hooray!"
Uniformly, with a mad roar resounding in the channel.
The devil's bushido, brainwashed and cultivated the notorious kamikaze, which gave the old American head a headache for a long, long time, even if he piled up the barrels of every warship, he suffered a lot of losses.
But brainwashing training is not the patent of devils.
The mustache is also one of the masters.
With plenty of supplies, improving the standard of living across the continent, and then using them to brainwash a little crazy cannon fodder, this operation couldn't be easier for Mustache and his men.
"Let's go."
With the order of the German elder, all the pilots of the bombers fiercely retreated from the throttle levers, and the six engines exploded with all their might, flying towards the target at the highest speed.
Some of them go straight to the West Coast.
······
"Enemy attack."
The roar over New York quickly attracted the attention of the American military, and at the first time, a large number of fighter jets rose into the air.
Although all the main forces went to Europe to participate in the war, after all, the human resources are abundant, and the population of the world continues to be absorbed, and the United States still has a lot of air defense troops stationed on its own soil.
Dozens of fighters quickly took off, the radars were turned on in turn, and the anti-aircraft guns raised their barrels.
Although the bomber obtained by the mustache only had six piston engines and no four-round jet engine, compared with the original American four-layer star piston engine, the horsepower has increased greatly, and the blades have also been greatly upgraded, with a maximum speed of 630 at high altitude and a maximum effective ceiling of 13,500 meters.
At this height, all propeller planes of this era are beyond the reach of the dust.
The dozens of F8F Pandas that took off could only stare dryly.
Not even tracking.
As for jet fighters, they are not deployed here.
"Damn it, report to the White House immediately."
On the radar screen, looking at the bombers in the distance, it happened to be New York, and the high-ranking general of the US Army Aviation in charge of domestic air defense was angry and cursed.
The moment it became known that the Manhattan Project had been leaked, there was speculation that the Germans would bomb again.
But because the previous president was 'unconscious', the new president took office, plus the defeat in the European War, the leaks of the Manhattan Project, and especially the great failure of the Pacific Navy, the domestic military was in chaos.
More than a dozen committed suicide, and dozens resigned, including quite a few army generals.
As a result, the order for air defense measures that should have been strengthened was not implemented in place, including the full-time radar start-up alert, the deployment of mobile radars in the open sea, and the deployment of jet fighters in various important factory areas.
Otherwise, why was it discovered by German bombers approaching New York?
Of course.
It is also directly related to the previous transfer of the main air defense forces to Europe.
······
"What?"
When Lao Du Mihu was woken up, his brain was still confused.
Although the president's power is charming, there have been a lot of troubles recently, and the work is not easy, coupled with the rapid operation of the brain before falling asleep, Lao Du is very tired and very tired at this time.
"The German bombers entered the country."
The secretary's fluttering words suddenly made Lao Du sober up instantly.
The military has repeatedly reminded him that the Germans may bomb important facilities in Manhattan in the near future, but Lao Du did not expect that the opponent would move so quickly.
It's only been three days since the leak.
Bombing missions are not a simple matter, especially long-range bombing, which requires careful planning, that is, they are ready to bomb as soon as they learn the news?
"The news that the Homeland Defense Department just came, they failed to intercept the German bombers, and none of them were shot down, and all of them flew into the mainland."
"About three hundred."
The secretary's second sentence directly made Lao Du's back drenched in cold sweat.
Three hundred.
According to last year's single bomb load, it was almost 3,000 tons of bombs.
Not much.
It is not as good as 10,000 tons in September last year, compared to the nearly 10 million tons of the British Empire, it is just a drizzle, but it will also deal a huge blow to the United States and cause great chaos.
After the first bombing, the administration repeatedly stressed its promise that the United States homeland would never be bombed at all.
"Let the Army Air intercept it immediately."
"Whatever it takes."
Lao Du's tone was scythic.
The secretary hurriedly went to convey the order and urge the military, while Lao Du glanced at the presidential palace he had just moved in a little blankly, focusing on a few murals left by the previous president.
Yu Yu sighed.
Die later!
Then Truman got up and prepared to go to the military to supervise him personally.
In fact, he was not in a hurry.
Thanks to the last bombing, the United States later relocated important factories of the Manhattan Project, some of which were moved to the West Coast, nearly 9,000 kilometers from the German mainland.
Although the Germans' giant bombers had a long range, in the face of a straight-line distance of 9,000 kilometers, even if the bomb load was reduced to one ton and the carrying capacity of the auxiliary fuel tanks increased, it would only have a combat range of more than 8,000 kilometers.
Moreover, in order to bypass the radar stations around the British mainland, the German planes would inevitably make a detour, increasing their range by more than a thousand kilometers, and it would be absolutely impossible to bomb those important factories on the west coast.
The only trouble was that the bombing would cause a huge panic in the country, which was a headache for him.
There is one more trouble that needs to be solved.
····
After Lao Du finished urging the Homeland Defense Department, he returned to the White House, and it was pitch black outside the window at this time.
It's late at night in America.
The wait was painful and anxious, and after waiting for half an hour, Lao Du decided to find something to do, and he called the secretary again:
"Did Weidemeyer have a reply?"
The United States is not monolithic, and the president cannot say anything, otherwise there would be no such thing as hawks and doves, which will lead to a certain degree of division in some actions.
Because of the terrifying strength displayed by the other side in the Pacific naval battle, everyone is very unified in their attitude towards Austria.
The other side is ruthless enough to do anything about it.
But for the expeditionary force, and the preserved fruit, some people moved their minds.
Nominally, it was the Allies, the allies of the United States, and the group on the other side of the river were not the same force, and the concepts and high-level of the two sides were different, so before, some people wanted to pull this group of people as cannon fodder and go to Europe to fight against Germany.
But it was refused.
Then, after Chu Yunfei transferred the main force to Aobei to do things, Wei Demai was recently led by some domestic parliamentarians to drum up a coalition and come up with a new idea.
Buying this group of people, strategically tying them up, and laying a nail for the future.
Of course, this is not a direct confrontation with the other side, nor is it a division, but everyone is an ally together, the allies are not having a good time, and the United States is supporting a little material and money, isn't it normal?
According to the principle of long-range inbreeding and close attack.
And under Chu Yunfei's vigorous rectification, that group of people is no longer full of moths as before.
Eventually, a $200 million direct aid was put on the agenda, and then approved by Lao Du.
"There has been no response yet."
The secretary shook his head.
"What about the ambassadors on the other side? Is he well? ”
Lao Du's tone changed, and he said suddenly.
"Nope."
The secretary pursed the corners of his lips.
Back then, the president of the United States wanted to see the ambassador of that country, even the British Empire, it didn't rush over, and it didn't dare to hesitate at all, especially on the other side, five or six years ago, I wanted to see the president every day.
How long has it been?
Dare to put on a score.
And then
What's even more outrageous is that the dignified president of the United States has to wait.
Dry waiting.
·····
Just when Truman shifted his attention and asked about the expeditionary force.
Wei Demai, the American brigadier general, also came to Chu Yunfei's office.
After all, he was an officer sent by the Americans, a former celebrity, although he was now in decline and had almost no power, but Chu Yunfei let this person follow him all the time.
Li Yunlong, none of them directly turned against the Americans and drove away the ambassador or anything.
"General Chu."
When he came to Chu Yunfei's office, Wei Demai smiled and looked respectful.
"General Weidemeyer."
While Chu Yunfei replied, he glanced at Wei Demai interestingly.
Once upon a time...
Actually, it was a few years ago.
At that time, Chu Yunfei was still a small regiment leader, although he was highly valued by the commander, he was still a small regiment leader, and in the face of a big man like Wei Demai, he was a little transparent.
He remembered that Wei Demai was very arrogant at that time, even the former Chief Yan was directly holding his nostrils at him.
Now he actually grovels to him, of course, now, the former commander's attitude towards him has also changed qualitatively, and he came to ask for an official and a half-position, but he was thrown aside to retire.
For his old commander, Commander Chu knows very well what kind of goods he is, and today's troops will definitely not be able to tolerate it.
After a period of politeness between the two sides, Weidemeyer directly explained his intentions:
"General Chu, has your army encountered financial difficulties recently?"
Financial difficulties?
Which eye do you see?
How did I not know?
Chu Yunfei glanced at Wei Demai interestingly, and suddenly understood in his heart.
Financial hardship is impossible.
His weapons, equipment, and various supplies were provided by his 'good allies', from aircraft and cannons, to socks and toilet paper, and the soldiers' salaries were also food stamps printed by them.
Both sides wrote in black and white, and they were full of money.
In order to thoroughly solve the problem of deducting military salaries, while vigorously rectifying the situation, he from time to time asked the supervision group of Li Yunlong's master to exercise independent supervision with his direct support, and basically completely solved the problem of deducting and embezzlement.
Therefore, the Americans are trying to buy him.
If you can't do what you see, you will come to the yin.
If he follows Weidemeyer's words, then it is estimated that there will be a lot of dollars to start, and then the two sides will strengthen cooperation or something, and make a stumbling block between him and Li Yunlong.
"It's been difficult, and there have been quite a few lately."
Chu Yunfei thought for a moment, rolled his eyes, and then picked up the conversation.
"Oh, that..."
As soon as Wei Demai was about to continue, Chu Yunfei walked down and said:
"General Weidemeyer, I'll take you to see it, I'm having a headache about this."
With that, he walked straight outside and motioned for Weidemeyer to follow.
Is this, not just want money, but also want to have other troubles that you want to solve?
Wei Demai saw Chu Yunfei's 'meaning', smiled, and followed. As long as this general Chu contacts the United States and accepts 'aid' from the United States, everything will be easy to say.
Although it is not possible to turn this person to the American camp at present, as long as this person has a contradiction with the other side, everything will be easy, and one day, this contradiction will expand, and then the opportunity for the United States will come.
The two of them drove in a large jeep in the direction of the port.
As we approached the port, Weidemeyer's mood grew more and more excited.
Recently the port has been blocked, bring him to the port, that is, to give him access to core military secrets.
Because of the weakness of technology, the United States and the other side of the strait are at a disadvantage, and they even have to bow their heads recently, but he believes that although this General Chu and that Li Yunlong are good friends, after all, the two sides are not the same force.
There is a direct conflict of interest.
For example, President Franklin and Prime Minister Qiu are still friends, and they are not really blushing and thick-necked for a little benefit.
He didn't believe it, the two men had the same goal.
But as the harbor approached, Weidemeyer suddenly sensed that something was wrong, for he saw several large, familiar shadows of ships in the harbor blockaded by the troops.
"The Iowa?!"
When the big jeep stopped, Weidemeyer finally blurted out.
"Yes."
Chu Yunfei smiled:
"These two battleships are indeed built after your country's Iowa-class, but with upgraded main guns, they are lighter in weight and have a longer life while maintaining the same power."
Without waiting for Wei Demaier to react, Chu Yunfei continued:
"And over here."
He pointed to two smaller warships and said:
"This is a warship built after the Des Moines Heavy Cruiser of your country, and it has also been upgraded to a certain extent, the weight of the guns has been reduced, the life has been increased, and the rest of the power and armor are about the same."
"And."
Chu Yunfei continued:
"This is a main aircraft carrier built after your country's Midway-class aircraft carrier, of course, the electronic equipment and internal structure have been upgraded, the carrier-based aircraft are also different, and the power system is also different, but the overall structure is similar."
"These two are modeled after the Fletcher class destroyers of your country·····"
"My biggest problem at the moment is the lack of sailors, and the naval officers are also seriously inexperienced, and I don't know if your country can help me recruit some junior officers for training."
"Your country has a lot of naval officers in our country, and if you are idle, you will be idle anyway·····"
The more Grand Master Chu spoke, the more energetic he became, and at this moment, he deeply realized the happiness of Li Yunlong back then.
The feeling of being scared is really exciting!
Weidemeyer stared blankly at the pile of warships in front of him, and the whole person was already stunned.
He turned his head to look at Chu Yunfei with difficulty, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he didn't say a word.
These American warships, it is impossible for the United States to give them.
The Iowa class built a total of four, two sank, two heavy damage and not yet begun repairs, although the Midway class began construction in 43, it has only been in service for less than two months, and there is only one.
As for the Des Moines Heavy Cruise, the keel has just been laid for the first ship, right?
It's actually in service here?!
Then, it must be provided on the other side, that is, Li Yunlong's gang.
And the fact that the other side can give Chu Yunfei such a powerful naval force shows that the relationship between the two sides is much more iron-clad than he imagined.
Or rather.
The control of this force on the other side is much, much stronger than the United States expected.
"Congratulations to Head Chu."
After a long time, Weidemeyer could only say these five words stiffly at the corners of his mouth.
