"General, emergency, emergency!" the adjutant's voice sounded anxiously outside the door.
Bermuda Islands The garrison commander Commodore Jonathan was woken up, but when he opened the door with an angry face and knew what happened, his anger completely disappeared. Instead, there is a deep Panic.
"General, Radar has discovered that a large number of German warship are approaching Bermuda Islands at high speed. It is expected that half of them will arrive after disappearing or launch an attack on us." The adjutant said anxiously.
"God! How come Germany people's warships appear here? Aren't they at Greenland?" Commodore Jonathan exclaimed.
However, he already understood what was going on without the adjutant answering. Obviously, this was a trap from beginning to end. A trap for United States. The goal of Germany people is not British Navy, but Bermuda Islands. The Germany people used a fleet to attract the main force of United States, while other fleets began to attack Bermuda Islands.
"Damn Germany people, this is a trap, we have all been fooled." Commodore Jonathan said through gritted teeth.
"General, what should we do now?" The adjutant was so anxious that he seemed about to cry.
Apparently even fools know this. After facing such a situation, the United States garrison on Bermuda Islands will undoubtedly be very dangerous. US Marine Corps There is only one regiment of troops on the island. Including other Coastal Defense Force, air defense troops, and airport escort troops, there are only more than 5,000 US troops in the entire Bermuda Islands. It is obviously impossible to rely on these people to resist German offensive. Although, they still don't know how many troops Germany will dispatch to attack Bermuda Islands. However, the Germany people planned this operation so carefully, and they must have sent out a lot of troops.
"Immediately send Telegram to the country and tell them that we have been fooled. In addition, let the country find a way to reinforce us. Otherwise, Bermuda Islands cannot hold on!" Commodore Jonathan said.
"Yes, general." The adjutant immediately went to send Telegram.
At the same time, the alarm on Bermuda Islands also sounded. Countless US soldier who were still sleeping in their dreams were awakened. After they heard the siren, their expressions changed drastically. However, they were well-trained and quickly put on their clothes and rushed to their posts. Everyone knows that the battle is about to begin. Maybe they will die in the battle, but as soldiers, this is their duty.
American Navy Operations Department, Navy Operations Department Chief Harold Admiral Stark has not left Operations Department during this time. After coming back from Toronto, I rushed into the office, where I had all my food and accommodation. He knows that the next period of time will be a very critical moment for American Navy and even United States as a whole. Therefore, he did not go home, but chose to be prepared. In order to be able to respond to various situations in a timely manner.
"Bang bang bang." There was a knock on the office door.
Harold Admiral Stark immediately stood up from the cot, put on his clothes and immediately went to open the door.
"What happened?" Harold? Admiral Stark asked.
"General, Bermuda Islands has sent an emergency Telegram. A large number of German military warships are approaching Bermuda Islands. The Germany people will soon launch an attack on Bermuda Islands," the secretary said.
"What? Bermuda Islands?" Harold Admiral Stark's face suddenly changed.
"Damn, this is indeed a trap by the Germany people. Their real target is not British Navy, nor Newfoundland, but Bermuda Islands!" Harold Admiral Stark figured it all out at once. But now, it's obviously too late. The main force of American Navy has already Kitakami and headed to the waters near Newfoundland. It is more than two thousand kilometers away from Bermuda Islands. Even if we head south immediately, it will take more than two days to arrive. And can Bermuda Islands's defenders hold on for two days? That's obviously unlikely. What's more, if American Navy rashly goes south, no one can guarantee whether he will fall into another trap of Germany people. Once attacked by German Navy who is just waiting for work, the consequences may be even more disastrous.
"Call White House immediately and tell them the situation. In addition, notify Army Staff Department. Prepare the car, I want to go to White House immediately." Harold Admiral Stark ordered.
"Yes, General." The secretary also knew that the matter was urgent and immediately went to prepare.
Harold Admiral Stark simply washed up, and three minutes later got in the car and rushed to White House.
When Harold Admiral Stark rushed to White House, President Roosevelt also appeared in the office with the help of Servant. Secretary of War Henry? Stilson, Frank Knox of the Naval Ministry, Chief of Army General Staff General Marshall and others also arrived one after another. However, the expressions on everyone's faces were very ugly. Because they all know that Bermuda Islands is about to be attacked by Germany people. Obviously, this means that they have once again been deceived by the Germany people and fallen into the conspiracy of the Germany people.
The expression on General Marshall's face seemed a little embarrassed. The big reason why President Roosevelt ordered the main force of the navy, Kitakami, was that he suggested that Germany people might launch an attack on Newfoundland. It is precisely because of this that President Roosevelt made up his mind. But now it seems that all this is just a conspiracy of the Germany people. They sent a fleet to appear in the southeastern waters of Greenland just to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The real target is Bermuda Islands.
"Gentlemen, it is obvious that the Germany people once again used conspiracy. And we were fooled again. Now, the Germany people are about to launch an attack on Bermuda Islands. What should we do?" President Roosevelt asked with a black face.
"Your Excellency, President, I am very sorry. It was my error in judgment that led to such a difficult situation. I am willing to take responsibility for it." General Marshall did not choose to excuse himself.
"No, General Marshall, you made that judgment at that time for the safety of United States. After all, once Newfoundland fell into the hands of Germany, the consequences would be even more unimaginable. We were all too careless, which made us fall into the trap of Germany." President Roosevelt shook his head.
President Roosevelt does not intend to hold General Marshall responsible. In fact, talents like General Marshall are very rare. He didn't want General Marshall to take the blame and resign. In that case, United States's power will be further weakened, which will be even more detrimental to them.
