"Gentlemen, although the navy failed once, I still have full confidence in them. I hope that everyone can have confidence in the navy and believe that they can defeat powerful enemies in future wars. However, until the outcome of the war is announced, no one can be sure whether we can defeat the Germany people. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst. If the navy fails again, what should we do?" President Roosevelt asked.
The faces of Stilson, General Marshall, General Arnold and others suddenly became very ugly. You don't need to think about it to know that if American Navy fails, then US Army will probably have to take over. When the time comes, they will fight to the end with the Germany people in order to defend their homeland.
"Your Excellency, if the situation really comes to that point, we must be prepared for a decisive battle with the Germany people on home soil." General Marshall said.
Of course, they have another option, which is to surrender to the Germany people. But General Marshall knows that President Roosevelt will never agree to this. Therefore, they can only choose to fight to the end.
President Roosevelt nodded. "I hope the army can be well prepared in this regard. Once the navy fails again, the army must take on the responsibility of blocking the Germany people on the mainland, or even defeating the Germany people's invasion in one fell swoop!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" General Marshall and others replied.
From President Roosevelt's words, they understood President Roosevelt's determination. The Army has become President Roosevelt's last force, and it is hoped that they can win.
However, they all know that German Navy is very strong, but the same German Army is even stronger. You can imagine how difficult it is for the US Army to defeat German Army. Even with the vast Atlantic Ocean barrier, it is undoubtedly very difficult to say whether Atlantic Ocean can withstand German Army's footsteps with Germany's strong shipping strength. All in all, once German Army really lands in United States, it will undoubtedly be a huge challenge for the US Army.
Likewise, by that time, they will have no way out. Once defeated by the German Army, not only will they perish, but United States will also perish.
"Your Excellency, if we want to confront German Army, we need more powerful troops to stop more Armored Forces and mechanized troops. German Army, relying on the powerful Armored Forces and mechanized troops on Russian front, defeated the Russian army and suffered heavy losses." General Marshall said.
President Roosevelt nodded, he has approved the army's plan to build 12 Armored Division. Moreover, these Armored Division are not like another time and space, there are only two heavy Armored Division, and the remaining 10 are light Armored Division. The 12 Armored Divisions in this time and space are all repeated Armored Divisions.
"Your Excellency, according to the intelligence we have, German Army has 38 Armored Division and 76 Mechanized Infantry Division. We must build at least 25 Armored Division and 50 Mechanized Infantry Division can resist the Germany people. If possible, it is even necessary to further build more Armored Forces and mechanized troops," General Marshall continued.
President Roosevelt's brows couldn't help but frown. Building so many Armored Forces and mechanized troops is not just talk. It's not something you can decide by just patting your head. After all, every Armored Division and Mechanized Infantry Division requires a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and Truck. These require a lot of resources. In the case where United States's war resources are heavily tilted towards the navy, the resources that can be provided to the army are relatively much less. Therefore, it is not easy for the US Army to build so many Armored Forces and mechanized troops.
"The government will find ways to provide more resources to the Army as much as possible to ensure the successful completion of the Army's development plan!" President Roosevelt said. Although he knew that this was very difficult, for United States's safety and victory in future wars, they had no choice but to do their best.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" General Marshall nodded.
"Your Excellency, Army Air Corps also needs to equip more advanced fighters. Previously obtained intelligence has confirmed that our P-40 fighters are completely unable to compete with German military's advanced fighters. Therefore, we need to further purchase more P-47 fighters and P-51 fighters. In addition, the Army also needs to equip more Dive Bomber, so that if the Navy fails, If German Navy approaches United States's homeland, we can also use Dive Bomber to attack them. In army operations, Dive Bomber is suitable for ground targets. It is also very useful for target strikes. German Air Force is also equipped with a large number of Dive Bomber to assist German Army in combat." General Arnold said.
President Roosevelt has no objection to this. He has also read German military's combat operations on Russian front, and knows German Army's Before Armored Forces launched another attack, German Air Force used its powerful strength to destroy Russian Air Force, and provided sufficient air cover for the German Army's attack in subsequent operations. Officially because of this, Armored Forces of the German Army was able to go straight in and easily defeat Russian Army.
If US Army doesn't want to be easily defeated by the German Army like Russian Army, then US Army Air Corps must be able to withstand German Air Force's attack in future battles. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.
"The government will approve the purchase of General Arnold, P-47 fighter jets, P-51 fighter jets and Dive Bomber. I hope Army Air Corps will resist German Air Force in the next battle!" President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" General Arnold replied.
General Arnold is still very confident about the next battle. He believed that because of Atlantic Ocean's obstruction, it would not be easy for German Air Force to take action against US Army Air Corps. Therefore, if their strength becomes stronger, they can completely withstand German Air Force.
"Everyone, in the next time, I hope that the strength of the Army will be further improved. And be prepared on the East Coast front line. Once German Army dares to land on United States's homeland, then the Army must defeat German Army to ensure the security of the homeland!" President Roosevelt said. This is undoubtedly his final bottom line.
