"Gentlemen, although our weapons and equipment are still far behind those of Germany people. However, I believe that we can shorten these gaps!" President Roosevelt said.
Now, United States has not yet participated in the war, and still has the opportunity to concentrate on developing its own strength. By the time United States joins the war, their military strength will definitely be further improved.
"Yes, Your Excellency, the President. The Army will increase its investment in the development of heavy tanks in the future and strive to start mass production of new heavy tanks within one year!" George? Lieutenant General Marshall said.
US Army There are currently several tanks under development, including M5 light tank, M6 heavy tank, and M26 heavy tank. Among them, M5 light tank is a replacement for M3 light tank, and M6 heavy tank is a tank that matches M5 light tank. Similar to the US Army now equipped with M3 light tank and M4 medium tank. However, after seeing the power of German Navy's Tiger-Panther tanks, US Army urgently proposed the development of a heavy tank that could suppress German Army's Tiger-Panther tanks. This also makes the development of M26 heavy tank in this time and space much earlier than in other time and space.
However, the firepower of M26 heavy tank from another time and space can match the 'King Tiger tank' tank of Germany. But in this time and space, the performance of Germany and Tiger-Panther tanks has been enhanced. Even M26 tank may not be able to take advantage of the 'Mighty Tiger' tank, let alone the follow-up 'King Tiger tank' tank from the German Army, which will be even more powerful!
President Roosevelt nodded with satisfaction. It was understandable that there was a gap. As long as he kept catching up, he believed that US Army would be able to catch up with the German Army. In the next war, they will definitely not lose to the Germany people.
"Your Excellency, in addition to the weapons used by the army, German aircraft is also far ahead of Bolshevik Air Force and us. Specifically, General Arnold will introduce it!" George? General Marshall said.
President Roosevelt looked at US Army Air Corps Commander Henry? Harry? General Arnold.
Previously, Henry? Harry? General Arnold was United States Army Air Force Commander and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army. When United States began to prepare for war and vigorously develop military power, United States Army Air Force was adapted into Army Air Corps. The number of troops and fighter aircraft also began to increase significantly. Henry? Harry? General Arnold, also became the first Commander of US Army Air Corps.
"Your Excellency, everyone, judging from the various intelligence we have received so far, the performance of various types of fighters equipped by German Air Force is indeed much more advanced than ours. German Army's fighters mainly include two types, one is the BF-109 fighter that has been equipped with the troops in the past few years, and the other is the FW-190 fighter that has been equipped with the troops recently.
The BF-109 fighter has a maximum speed of 686 kilometers per hour and a ceiling of 10,000 meters. Its weapons include a 30mm cannon and two 12.7mm machine guns. This fighter is very fast and has very powerful firepower. In terms of overall performance, the aircraft equipped with US Army Air Corps cannot be compared with it. Regardless of the P-36 fighter jets and P-39 fighter jets that are our main equipment in service now, as well as the P-40 fighter jets under development, their performance cannot be compared with them. Once an air battle breaks out between the two sides, our fighters will inevitably be suppressed by the Germany people's BF-109 fighters.
As for the FW-190 fighter jet, we currently do not have the specific parameters of this fighter jet. But what is certain is that this is a fighter with more advanced performance than the BF-109 fighter, and is the advanced fighter planned to replace the BF-109 fighter by German Air Force. The performance of any of our fighter jets is unmatched. "
Henry? Harry? General Arnold said.
The faces of United States* senior military and political officials were not very good-looking. The fighters equipped by US Army Air Corps can't even compare to the Germany people's soon-to-be-obsolete BF-109 fighter jets, let alone the more advanced FW-190 fighter jets.
"Furthermore, according to German aircraft's development habits, after the FW-190 fighter jet enters service, the next generation of more advanced fighter jets may have already begun test flights, or are close to test flights." General Arnold continued.
This made United States's senior military and political officials speechless. Under such circumstances, how could they pursue German Air Force! This is undoubtedly news that makes them completely desperate.
"Can this be confirmed?" President Roosevelt asked.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President. We have obtained some information. The development progress of the Germany people's more advanced next-generation fighter aircraft has probably reached the test flight stage. In this case, it will not be long before the new model can be put into service. By then, the Germany people will have even greater advantages!" George? General Marshall said.
"Then how should we counterattack the Germany people? Should we just let the Germany people continue to widen the gap? In that case, how can we defeat the Germany people?" said Minister of War Woodring.
"We are further increasing the development of aircraft and strengthening contact with Britain people. Britain people have great advantages in Aero Engine. If we can get their support, the performance of our fighter aircraft should be further improved." General Arnold said.
"Then contact Britain people and work with them to develop new fighters!" President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President." General Arnold replied.
"In terms of Bomber, Germany people mainly include H-01 medium Bomber, H-11 heavy Bomber and H-21 heavy Bomber. Among them, the H-01 medium Bomber is a two-engine tactical Bomber, while the H-11 heavy Bomber and H-21 heavy Bomber are four-engine Long-Range Strategic Bomber.
The Bomber equipped by Army Air Corps is mainly B-17 heavy Bomber and B-18 medium Bomber. In terms of performance, it is slightly worse than the H-11 heavy Bomber and H-01 medium Bomber of Germany. But the difference is not big. The performance of the B-24 heavy-duty Bomber and B-25 medium-sized Bomber we are developing can fully rival those of Germany's aircraft. Of course, the performance of Germany's H-21 heavy-duty Bomber is even more advanced. But our B-24 heavy-duty Bomber is not far behind it. "General Arnold continued.
"In addition, the Germany air force is also equipped with two types of Bomber, namely Stuka dive bomber and Predator ground attack aircraft. These two Bomber are Bomber that support firepower for the army. Although the performance of the SBD dive bomber equipped by our navy is slightly worse, it can still be used. If necessary, Army Air Corps can also purchase a batch of these Dive Bomber." General Arnold continued.
