Only Turner, who is neither the person involved and is not of sufficient level, is unaware of this, but General Jin, who was hospitalized, has entrusted Turner to take full power to act on his position, so he cannot hide this from him. Turner is a smart person, and he understands it at first glance. But he was surprised that Churchill actually wanted to engage in a coup in this situation? He is so crazy?

"To be honest, I don't think Prime Minister Churchill's idea of ​​stabilizing the political situation will eventually succeed. We only have more than 100,000 troops in the British Isles, and we are deployed in different places. There are 3 million troops in the British mainland, and even if it is considered to be more than 1 million, the strength is weak. Now that the shipping is cut off, it is difficult to control the entire Great Britain by relying solely on these more than 100,000 people. But I think one thing must be realized: if Britain really surrenders, these more than 100,000 people will not be saved." Trumandao, "From this perspective, since it is destined to lose these more than 100,000 people, it is very important for us to use them to delay for a while."

Li Hai pondered: "This news comes out, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it will become a shell for the government and the public to attack you."

Truman nodded, and he thought about the consequences. Everyone's thoughts were similar: Truman dared to support Churchill in a coup? Will he also carry out a coup in the United States in the future? This is a very dangerous precedent.

In fact, he had gone to Hopkins to verify the situation. The other party first confirmed that this was the case, but also explained different opinions. "This is a last resort, I hope you can be cautious."

Marshall said: "Can the British write this article in the peace conditions? That is, they can have a truce, they can take away the equipment, but they cannot seize our people. These 100,000 people will let them return to their country."

"I think it's very difficult, and the Germans won't agree." Li Hai shook his head, "The key now is that Hitler cannot get those two armored aircraft carriers. Even if we can't get them, the Germans cannot get them."

"Why did the British let Germany get those warships? Just because the Battle of Iceland sunk an aircraft carrier?" Marshall asked, "The Royal Navy cannot learn from the Germans with some backbone. Let's have a rainbow?"

The rainbow was the code name for the German high seas fleet to sink collectively in Spaca Bay. For this sinking, Germany finally paid a heavy price for all domestic civilian ships. This incident is so famous that Marshall, who is in charge of the army, still remembers it vividly.

"The British won't do this. They are from a messenger. How could they do something like self-sinking? In addition, the British sunk aircraft carriers are not one, two." Turner added, "There is another severely damaged German aircraft carrier that was sunk by British submarines on their way back. The poor Royal Navy finally achieved the only result, which was obtained by submarines. Of course, this submarine is also done."

Due to the serious injuries of the Hinata, the German Navy decided to return to China through the North Sea instead of returning to the Mediterranean for repairs, but was torpedoed by a British submarine halfway, which was really a big problem! Fortunately, Britain was about to surrender, and Hoffman, as the commander of the navy, issued a death order, and the British man must collect the two armored aircraft carriers.

Li Hai is very sensitive to the comparison of naval power. At present, the main force of the Atlantic Fleet is three fleet aircraft carriers and three battleships. By August, there are five aircraft carriers and three battleships. Germany currently has five aircraft carriers and eight battleships. It is expected that there will be no new battleships by August. If the United States can get these British battleships, the strength of the Atlantic Navy will be greatly reduced or even tied. However, if Germany gets these battleships, it will be a big trouble. Therefore, although he is not optimistic about the coup itself, he believes that delaying for a period of time is necessary. Even if Britain cannot hold on in the end, Churchill will bring 4 battleships to the United States or Canada, or as long as those two aircraft carriers come to North America.

If you take a step back, it would be fine even if Churchill tried every means to sink!

"If we don't get these warships, can we let our army come forward or rely on British patriots to sink them?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult. The British are very concerned about these warships. When the situation is at its most tense, they refuse to call anti-aircraft guns, fighter jets and defensive forces that protect there. It's almost impossible to start..."

Truman is a little regretful now. If he had known that the Germans would lose two aircraft carriers and only two regular aircraft carriers, Nimitz's fleet should not have retreated so early. He should fight again and fight again. Even if the fight was completed 1:1, the Germans would only have one aircraft carrier left in the direction of Iceland. In addition, let the Army Airlines and the British Royal Air Force fight again. Maybe the Iceland Battle can barely achieve a life-threatening result. After this month, the local two aircraft carriers and two British aircraft carriers, and the naval power will be regained in an instant! He didn't know that Germany had arranged a second wave of reinforcements in the Mediterranean, which was useless to win.

Of course, this is just thinking about it afterwards. How can there be so many regret medicines in the world that are good?

Truman suppressed his depression and then considered other issues: Brazil is now in a hurry, and it is necessary to take effective measures to attract Churchill's attention and reduce the pressure. It is a situation where he can be treated as a dead horse.

Li Hai guessed what he was thinking and reminded: "The president had another sentence at the beginning, which was considered by the US-Canada, UK-US relations. He personally did not want Churchill to come to Canada to organize the government in exile."

Truman nodded: "But now this is the case. I think it's a little adjustment. If Prime Minister Churchill can bring 4 ships, no, 2 aircraft carriers, we should still welcome it."

The others looked at it and nodded silently.

Truman made the final decision: "That's what it means to inform our troops to accept orders, but do not get too involved, and do not have particularly obvious hints and orders.

What Marshall wanted to say, but he felt it was bitter and couldn't say it.

"The focus is on solving the Brazilian problem. Four divisions have completed landings, and General Nimitz's fleet has also arrived at the Caribbean. What do you think should we start?"

"The Army's plan is to reinforce 6 divisions (one of which is an armored division) according to the original arrangement, but it was originally planned to arrive in the Recife region and Rio region. Now the route is threatened by the German army and requires the assistance of the navy."

"The Navy's plan is to let the Army stand on standby on the front line of Venezuela and Guyana, and wait for the new aircraft carrier to officially join the fleet, and General Nimitz will fight against the German army." Since General Jin was not there, the Navy's plan was explained by Turner. Although Li Hai was born in the navy, combat has never been his strength. "Information shows that the German army is a squadron composed of two aircraft carriers and two battleships in South America. We hope to prepare for our own strength to avoid unnecessary losses."

Truman's slight jaw head: After continuous failures, the Navy and the Army are now much more cautious, and no one dares to say that they must have the ability to defeat their opponents. The Army believes that ensuring victory requires a 3:1 advantageous force, and the Navy believes that at least it must surpass the opponent in terms of fleet size to have a chance of winning.

"How do you decide the time?"

"The six divisions were dispatched at the end of June, and the naval fleet was also integrated and we can act together." Marshall explained. "The problem is now that the Land Airlines has suffered heavy losses in the past two years. The troops prepared for the South American direction have been lost in the battle of Iceland. General Arnold's hair turned white with anxiety."

Speaking of Land Airlines, Truman sighed. Land Airlines is one of the few troops that have always dared to fight and fight in the past few years. When he was in Europe, he carried out strategic air strikes due to losses. Later, the Battle of Africa, the Battle of the Caribbean, the Battle of Bermuda, the Battle of Newfoundland, the Battle of Iceland, and the strategic transatlantic transportation have repeatedly launched attacks. The losses in the Far East, the Pacific, and India (Camel routes).

This Iceland Battle was the first time that there was disobedience or passive slackness. Finally, with mediation from multiple parties, the situation was dealt with "big things turned into small things, small things turned into small things". Those who disobeyed orders were transferred to the Pacific Frontline after receiving warnings or demotion. The Land Airlines organization and aircraft can be easily compensated, but the loss of personnel experience and ability is not so easy to make up for. The Joint Conference conducted secret statistics. In addition to being transferred to ground troops and withdrawing due to illness and injury, the survival rate of the front-line crews in the Land Airlines service before the war was less than 10%, of which 7% of the people were because they were instructors. In other words, the intact rate of the Land Airlines officers and soldiers who served before the war were only 3%! (Of course, many people did not die, just lived in prisoners of war camps)

"Let HNA share the burden a little bit." Truman turned his head to Turner, "At least HNA on the Caribbean Sea should assist in completing combat missions, and Bermuda has also been handed over to HNA."

Turner gritted his teeth and agreed.

The only good news is that the aircraft models have developed rapidly: by early June, there were finally more than 1,000 pilots who completed meteor jet training, including 800 (including 300 British people) and 200 HNA; the monthly production of jets reached 600 aircraft per month; HNA carried out large-scale replacement of main carrier-based aircraft, and some carrier-based fighter fleets were replaced with F4U, and the old SBD and TBF finally began to replace BTD. Turner said that it would take another month to prepare not only for warships, but also for aircraft fleet replacement. This is the fastest time after desperate compression.

The fleet reconnaissance aircraft that has always been criticized have finally come to an end: the water reconnaissance was replaced by the Seahawks, which were urgently produced by Curtis. The performance was greatly improved compared to the previous Seagulls and Kingfishers. The fastest speed exceeded 500 kilometers per hour and the range was close to 1,800 kilometers (with a secondary fuel tank). Although there was still a little gap compared to the A-372 water reconnaissance of Japan and Germany, the gap was greatly narrowed. The ship reconnaissance aircraft used the F6F reconnaissance two-seat model, with a maximum speed dropping to 547 kilometers per hour. The range when the secondary fuel tank was hung was 2,000 kilometers. Without the secondary fuel tank, it could take off from the escort aircraft carrier. The idea of ​​the US carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft was somewhat different from that of Japan and Germany. However, it installed a sea search radar with a range of 80 kilometers, which can effectively help observers reduce the operating burden.

"That's it. I'll send my comments to London later. I'll visit the president in the afternoon. His condition is very unstable."
