"Your Excellency, President, I am very sorry that we have failed to live up to your expectations." Minister Frank Knox said with his head lowered.
Suddenly, President Roosevelt's face quickly turned pale. Although before this naval battle began, he had anticipated that there might be such a result. However, after learning that they had really lost, they still couldn't accept the result.
"How could this happen? Aren't we very likely to win? Why do we still lose?" President Roosevelt asked.
Before the naval battle began, the navy generals told him that American and British fleets had a great advantage in this naval battle. The possibility of winning will be very high. This also made President Roosevelt feel a little hopeful. He hoped that the navy could win this battle. In that case, they will be able to gain more room for maneuver.
Now, the Navy has lost. This immediately put United States into the most difficult situation.
"Your Excellency, the Navy made a fatal mistake in this naval battle..." Harold Admiral Stark reported to President Roosevelt. He reported the battlefield to President Roosevelt in detail.
President Roosevelt was completely speechless. "Maybe, this is God's will! Even God is now on the side of Germany people."
"Your Excellency, after this naval battle, the Navy has ceased to exist in name only. In this naval battle, we lost all the aircraft carriers, and Capital Ships only had three Iowa-class Battleship left. Cruisers and destroyers also suffered heavy losses. Britain The situation of the people is not much better than ours. They only have four "Hood-class" Battlecruisers left. The entire Atlantic Ocean has completely fallen into the control of the Germany people." Harold Admiral Stark continued.
There is no doubt that in this naval battle, American Navy and British Navy were completely defeated. After this naval battle, the navies of both countries will probably be in ruins. If there is enough time, with strong industrial strength, there may be a day when it can regain its glory. But unfortunately, they simply didn't have enough time. Germany people will not give them time to develop the navy again.
President Roosevelt's expression became even more ugly. He knew what kind of difficulties the entire United States would face next after the navy failed. Next, the Germany people are likely to directly launch an attack on the United States homeland.
"The Germany people have completely occupied Bermuda Islands. Now they have completely seized Atlantic Ocean's sea control. So, their attack on our homeland seems to be close at hand?" President Roosevelt said.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President. It is estimated that the landing operation of the Germany people is imminent." Harold Admiral Stark said.
"Come here, find General Marshall and General Arnold!" President Roosevelt ordered.
In the case of the complete failure of the navy, United States's national defense can only rely on the army and Army Air Corps.
Soon, General Marshall and Henry? General Arnold rushed to President Roosevelt's office. The two of them had obviously learned about the navy's complete defeat, and their faces were very ugly.
In these years, United States has invested huge resources and financial resources in developing its navy. Now, the Navy has failed. This directly put huge pressure on the Army and Army Air Corps!
"The navy suffered heavy losses, but what about the Germany people? Did they suffer heavy losses?" General Marshall couldn't help but ask. After all, American Navy and British Navy suffered such huge losses. Especially when they had the upper hand and they had to pay such a huge loss, there was no reason why the Germany people could have such a small loss!
Harold Admiral Stark's face flashed with shame and anger. "Four Capital Shipss of the Germany people were sunk, and three other Capital Shipss were severely damaged. Some cruisers and destroyers were also sunk. As for the Carrier-based aircraft people, the Germany people suffered a lot of losses."
After hearing this answer, General Marshall didn't know what to say. The U. S. Navy and the British Navy suffered such heavy losses, but only four of the German Navy's battleships were sunk, and three of the battleships were severely damaged. As for the losses of cruisers and destroyers, they were simply insignificant. The Germans can easily make up for the losses in carrier-based aircraft.
"General Marshall, General Arnold. German Navy won this naval battle, so they no longer have to worry about anything else. It is expected that the Germany people will launch a landing operation against North America soon. We must be prepared." President Roosevelt said with a serious face.
General Marshall and General Arnold nodded.
"Your Excellency, it will be winter soon. Will the Germany people launch a landing operation in winter? That kind of weather is probably not suitable for a landing operation." General Marshall said.
"Even if the Germany people will not launch a landing operation in winter, they will at least launch a landing operation next spring. By then, we will have to face the Germany people's powerful army and air force. If we lose again, the consequences will be disastrous." President Roosevelt said.
The expressions of several generals were very serious, and they knew very well that there was only one way before United States now, and that was to use the army to resist the Germany people's attack. Even after the large-scale landing of German military, they relied on the army and Army Air Corps to defeat the Germany people in one fell swoop. Only in this way will the Germany people perhaps give up and destroy United States and be able to strive for a decent peace. Otherwise, United States will most likely cease to exist.
"General Marshall, General Arnold. Next, your tasks are very heavy. However, the hope of the country rests on your shoulders. I hope that you can win a crucial victory for Republic of America in the future war. After all, it is related to the life and death of Republic of America!" President Roosevelt continued.
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." General Marshall and General Arnold replied.
At this moment, they also felt the great responsibility. However, can they really defeat the Germany people in a war? There is no doubt that it is very difficult. German Navy is already very powerful, but German Army has a greater reputation than German Navy. They have used Steel Torrent to directly shred the huge Russia. Can United States withstand the attack of Germany? Almost everyone has no confidence in winning.
