"This..." General Jin only felt the blood surged up to his head. It seemed that this incident had seriously stimulated the president. The situation was even worse than that of the Pearl Harbor incident. However, he obviously did not lose his mind, but he hesitated, "I'm afraid it would be very difficult."

"Of course it's difficult! Gentlemen, the American people chose us in this position to solve problems and difficulties, not for us to enjoy." Roosevelt waved his hand courageously, "You can tell from a professional perspective how many difficulties there are, and let's find a way to solve them together. I want to declare to the world and the American people: Even if we pay 4 aircraft carriers to sink one enemy aircraft carrier, the United States will carry out the war to the end, because we can start construction of 24 aircraft carriers a year!"

"If you build 24 Essex-class ships, there should be no problem with raw materials and accessories; the ship platform will face great challenges, but if it is operated properly, large ship platform can be turned over even if 24 ships cannot reach it, 22 ships or 20 ships have great hope." General Jin said bit by bit, "The funding should not be a particularly difficult constraint; but there are two things I am very worried about: we not only lack sufficient and skilled shipbuilders, but also lack corresponding naval officers and carrier-based aircraft pilots."

"You don't have to worry about shipbuilders, I have a way."

"How?" Everyone looked at Roosevelt in confusion, wondering how he could turn into a skilled worker.

Roosevelt quickly revealed the mystery: "I will write to Churchill and ask him to immigrate skilled workers from British shipyards and their families to the United States to work. We have a large number of cargo ships to the United Kingdom every week, and they are empty when they return. We can also send express cruises to transport these people. The capacity is definitely not a problem. If possible, I plan to immigrate 20,000 households first, so that it will not exceed 10,000 people. In addition to shipbuilders, other workers such as aircraft, tanks and vehicles can also migrate to the weekly 6! Spain, Portugal, and Italy can send their workers to Germany to work. Why can't the United States absorb the British? If necessary, we can also build new enterprises on the US-Canada border."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. Roosevelt's seemingly plain words were actually a good chess that killed three birds with one stone:

First, it greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient skilled workers in the United States. Anyway, Britain cannot build so many warships due to limited materials. Instead of relying on the United States to support materials, it is better to rely on supporting warships directly;

Second, it will reduce the burden on the UK and absorb 10,000 to immigrate to the United States. However, it will reduce the opening of your mouth for the UK;

The third and most important point is that after absorbing the most valuable engineers, technicians and skilled workers in the British industry, the strength of the United States will greatly enhance. If the UK surrenders in her life, the United States will also get the most important part. Before this, the most valuable scientists in the United States have been collected by the United States.

All of us are smart people. After a moment of thinking, we can understand Roosevelt's intention of "the drunken man's intention is not wine". We don't have to worry about the British not cooperating. As long as Congress passes this plan, countless British people will sign up to immigrate to the United States tomorrow.

General Jin nodded repeatedly. The president is indeed very good at engaging in politics.

"As for enough naval officers and pilots..." Roosevelt glanced at everyone with his eyes, "This is your job. We must increase the training and training efforts. I hope I will not disappoint me, and we can also introduce some Royal Navy if necessary."

Admiral Kim immediately stood up and expressed his determination: "Please rest assured that we will have enough sailors and pilots to use every ship we get to fight against the enemy!"

Roosevelt nodded in praise: "We must have confidence that the final victory must belong to us. The United States is not only the world's largest industrial power, but also the world's largest military power in the future!"

Although General Jin made a military order from Roosevelt, he still broke out after careful inventory: In addition to the personnel serving on the shore, officers and teams 6, the casualties rate of the front-line fleets before the war had exceeded 25%, and the death rate of carrier-based pilots had exceeded 50%. Since the Battle of Midway, HNA has lost more than 200 people each time. Through the South Pacific, Indian Ocean, North Atlantic, and Panama, the pilots lost 100 people in a year, and one out of ten veterans survived, which really hurt their vitality.

Facing General Jin who was frowning, Li Hai and Nimitz could not think of a good idea. In the end, Nimitz made a sacrifice and promised to draw 40 experienced pilots (groups) and a group of naval officers and soldiers from the Far East to the Atlantic Fleet. General Jin promised to give the Pacific Fleet enough new aircraft, including f4 and f6f. As for the new aircraft carrier that Nimitz had originally expected, it was completely ruined by the defeat of the Battle of Panama, but General Jin promised to go to Australia as much as possible with 2-3 escort aircraft carriers to Australia in June.

When the breakup was over, General Kim held Nimitz's hand tightly: "Given the current difficult situation, the Pacific can only count on you to support it!"

Nimitz nodded with a cold expression, and the Pacific War Zone will be fully turned to the defensive.

On April 25, the United States officially announced the results of the Panama Battle. As Cohen expected, the media gave an understatement of the destruction of the Panama Canal, focusing on the bravery and sacrifice of the US 6 Navy, and also released photos of the 6th Austrians sinking in the water. If we do not analyze it carefully, we will think that these warships were sunk in the canal by American planes. However, Cohen did not have time to say anything more. He was appointed commander-in-chief of the US Southern Command and needed to be responsible for the 6th Army and air force in the entire Caribbean and Panama region, and was busy all day long.

After such dilution, the United States' own losses seem to be less serious. The losses announced by the United States are two fleet aircraft carriers, two light aircraft carriers, and one fleet aircraft carrier is severely damaged. There are more than 10 cruisers and destroyers. As for the losses of aircraft and pilots, it is said to be o many people in a concealed manner.

On the afternoon of the same day the news was released, Roosevelt accepted congressional inquiries. Marshall and General King participated as main witnesses. He was a lawyer and had been immersed in politics for many years. He fully used his ability to be versatile. He did not passively and embarrass the questioning of politicians like a gun, but instead turned his back on the spot and described the terrifying scene to them with a gloomy face.
