: 0.089s Scan: 0.029sJust when the Russian bear was feeling panic-stricken and even mobilized in advance, the Eagle Sauce in North America was also frightened by the news of Hans’ large-scale bombing of the British Empire!
“This B-29 strategic bomber is so terrifying that it only uses more than 200 planes to defeat an old empire that has dominated the world for hundreds of years without any chance of fighting back!”
The commander of the newly formed air force was very shocked by the performance of the German bombers in the air raid on the sun never sets, and was also extremely excited!
“If we could have 100 of these aircraft,……”
The Air Force Commander was so happy when he thought of the 1,000 B-29 strategic bombers included in the arms they purchased from Hans!
Historically, the Eagle Sauce Air Force was formed after the end of World War II, which is almost twenty years away from now.
From the time when the Air Force was formed, it can be seen that the Eagle Sauce does not attach as much importance to the Air Force as other countries.
However, this is also related to the special nationality of the Eagle Sauce.
Their geographical location determines that their homeland will hardly be threatened. During World War II, the homeland was hardly invaded. At most, it was attacked by the foot basin at Pearl Harbor.
Therefore, it is not very meaningful for them to form an air force. After all, their main battles are fought by the navy. As long as the strength of the naval aviation is guaranteed, it is enough to cope with the war. Therefore, although the Eagle Sauce did not have an air force in World War II, their naval aviation was very strong, not inferior to the air forces of other countries!
However, in this time and space, under the strong influence of the Hans Air Force, President Roosevelt realized the role of the air force early, and the war situation in Europe was progressing rapidly at this time. The Eagle Sauce had no plans to send troops to Europe for the time being, so the importance of their naval aviation was not as great as that of the local air force!
Therefore, after confirming the arms sales order of more than 4 billion US dollars with Hans, Roosevelt immediately began to build his country’s air force.
He originally thought that when Hans delivered this part of the arms, they would have a powerful air force with superior strength. Relying on their country’s strong industrial strength and reverse imitation, they would sooner or later master Hans’ advanced technology and use it for their own benefit!
However, after seeing the result of the Battle of the Sun Never Sets, Roosevelt was not so optimistic!
“I think our arms purchase may fail!”
Before Roosevelt could express his worries, someone said it in advance.
Roosevelt took a curious look and saw that the person who spoke was Rear Admiral O. Joseph King!
He is currently the naval aviation of the Pacific Fleet. Although he is not in the Air Force, he is indeed one of the few talents in the United States who is involved in the Air Force. He just has a naval title.
Historically, Rear Admiral King was promoted to the commander of the United States Navy and concurrently served as the commander of the Atlantic Fleet. Under his leadership, the US military fully utilized the advantages of aviation and aircraft carriers in the Atlantic region and launched a fierce attack on German submarines. A total of more than 500 German submarines were sunk by his troops, which was almost the unit that sank the most German submarines in World War II, without a doubt!
In World War II, Almost all of the outstanding generals of the Eagle Sauce come from the Navy.
The so-called three famous generals of the Army are all unworthy of their reputations.
None of them has any outstanding military achievements.
Even Eisenhower, who had the best performance, only established himself in Western Europe.
However, millions of troops landed in Western Europe but failed to advance much, which was enough to prove his mediocrity.
Compared with him, the Soviet army on the Eastern Front had advanced hundreds of kilometers in a year, and the German army they faced was all the elite of the German army, with far more troops than the Western Front.
Of course, the famous naval generals of the Eagle Sauce are still of some value, especially those in the Pacific Fleet. Nimitz, Halsey, Spruance and others lagged behind the Foot Basin in terms of the number of battleships and aircraft carriers at the beginning of the war. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, their forces were at a disadvantage for more than a year, but under such circumstances they still won the Battle of Midway. It must be said that they were quite capable.
The enemies on the Atlantic Fleet’s side were relatively weak.
The Third Reich’s navy could only be regarded as an existing fleet, or even an existing fleet.
Therefore, the main opponent of the Allies was the German submarines.
Submarines were good against unarmed, slow civilian ships and transport ships, but against warships armed to the teeth, before the emergence of nuclear-powered attack submarines, submarines never had an advantage, especially when the opponent’s number was far greater than that of German submarines.
With the Eagle Sauce frantically building thousands of destroyers and hundreds of aircraft carriers, the entire Atlantic to Allied warships and planes were everywhere, and Dönitz’s submarine forces were hiding here and there. Under such unfavorable circumstances, they were still able to achieve such brilliant results. This is a true famous general.
Of course, Admiral King was able to find a way to deal with submarines, and he was able to sink hundreds of submarines, which was also remarkable. After all, the British could not do this. Their aircraft carriers, battleships and other large warships suffered heavy losses under the attack of German submarines. A large number of British warships, including the Royal Oak battleship and the Glorious aircraft carrier, were killed by the Hans submarine.
During World War II, the expression of the British Navy can only be described in two words: clumsy!
Marshall glanced at Major General King and asked lightly:”Why does Major General King think so? Is there any basis for this?”
Major General Jin glanced at Marshall and answered frankly:”If I were Hans, I would not give us such a terrible weapon for no reason, especially when Hans is making great strides in Europe and has a tendency to unify Europe. I think our status in Hans’ heart will surely decline rapidly. They don’t have to give us such important weapons just to please us and maintain the alliance between the two countries!”
Major General Jin’s reason was simple. If before the Battle of the British Empire, the whole world, including the Hans people, had not realized the terribleness of these bombers, then after this battle, anyone who was not blind could see the power of these strategic bombers!
Hans would not easily give up such a powerful weapon, especially when it involves such a huge number of thousands!
“Well, what you said makes sense!”
After listening, Roosevelt frowned and nodded. He suddenly thought of something and asked the Minister of Finance,”Have we paid the first deposit to Hans?”
The Minister of Finance trembled, his face turned pale, and he said tremblingly,”Paid, paid……”
