Chapter 377: Anxious

Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
I do n’t know if you have any winter holidays, new year games, firecrackers, watching movies, going to parties until the end of the holidays. I suddenly remembered that there were still dozens of unfinished winter homework experiences. If so, then you now understand the mood of the United States at this moment.
I have been sitting in a big dream, hoping to see the war in the European continent hit the end of the world in the United States, but now I find that the results I want have not appeared, but another very uncomfortable ending is quickly clearing up.
Germany did not imagine the stalemate between France and France during the First World War, but it became a glorious performance of the German armored forces. They came to the city of Paris at once and played a relaxed victory. This made Americans startled their glasses and started thinking about their own development problems as soon as they woke up.
Every time the officers of the Army watched the report of the German armored force in France, they would hit the blood to write various departments, hoping to build their own armored corps to cope with the future war mode.
The United States is also unequivocal, and began to vigorously develop its own armored tank force. It developed the m3 and m3lee tanks in one breath to respond to the future "German tank threat". Among them, the m3 tank was developed under the influence of Germany flashing Poland. It is considered to be the more advanced main tank in the hands of the US Army.
However, this tank is only equipped with a 37 mm caliber main gun, and its armor has fallen behind more than one point. Compared with the German leopard tank, it is obviously outdated, and it seems to be even more inferior than the latest German tiger tank. on.
For this reason, and also stimulated by the French campaign, the United States ordered the development of a firepower enhanced tank also equipped with a 75 mm caliber artillery. As a result, it was born like the French b1 tank, with an additional front side of the car body. A super m3 tank with a 75mm tank gun.
As soon as these two tanks came out, they were criticized. It seems that the US Army is not satisfied with this kind of broken copper and iron that is almost a generation away from the German tanks. However, the U.S. Army has not yet received a strong tank threat, so even if the Army is dissatisfied, it still equips its nose with a full 3,000 such "broken copper and iron".
Compared with the US Army, the US Air Force is more urgent. The United States ’own p-36 fighter is not even comparable to the third-empire export fighter me-109c fighter, and it is far different from the German fw-190d fighter, so the US military is eager to obtain a new fighter.
However, compared with the Army ’s conservative slowness, the designers of the US Air Force were more daring. They immediately came up with a design plan. This plan has two high-power engines and looks strange. This is the history. The famous American P-38 twin-engine fighter, in another time and space, it is famous for shooting down the 56-year-old Japanese general.
It is a pity that it is one thing to come up with a design plan, and it is another matter to demonstrate mass production after the test flight, so now the fighter jets that pick the beam of the US Air Force are still poor p-36 fighter jets.
At the moment when the United States was struggling to catch up, there was suddenly a more shocking news. Hundreds of thousands of troops in the Dunkirk area surrendered to Germany. The British navy was beaten by the German high seas fleet overnight or one morning. Become a sieve-the European war situation was so bad in 2 hours that the Americans could not predict it, and even intelligence came to say that France would surrender to Germany within a few days.
The United States was unable to sit still this time, and Roosevelt immediately summoned the British ambassador to the United States. From this ambassador ’s mouth, he got even more shocking information: Britain lost the right to control the sea in the North Atlantic and hundreds of thousands of troops were in the French army. The annihilation is now incapable of coping with any upcoming war situation.
"Is it really that serious?" US President Roosevelt asked, frowning at the British ambassador in front of him.
The British ambassador looked extremely bachelor, and there was no clue on his face. He only coughed twice before he replied: "The sinking of Hood and Prestige is the most painful loss for the Royal Navy of the British Empire, including aircraft carriers. Has lost almost one third of its fleet, and the British are in fact unable to continue the war. "
"The situation has reached such an irrecoverable point?" Roosevelt sighed, and he suddenly had an illusion at this time: The distant continent in Berlin, the first born in Berlin, has been pressing his own strength , Then suddenly put effort to kill the British and French, so as to shield the possibility of American trouble?
Shaking his head and dispersing such pessimistic thoughts in his mind, Roosevelt once again took the stance of a strongman and said: "If the United States can pool some resources to help Britain, can Britain continue to wrestle with Germany? "
"Dear President, the British Empire certainly does not want to lose its position and influence in Europe. But I really can't think of any resources that can support us to continue fighting. After all ... the current blockade in Germany has made us very weak. "
"The United States does not want to see Germany dominate Europe." Roosevelt thought for a while and said, "I prefer to deal with English gentlemen like you than Germans."
He thought for a while and then looked at the trees outside the window. It seemed that he had made a lot of determination before saying: "I try, if I can, I will provide a lot of support for the British war against aggression, including weapons Equipment and food fuel. "
"I need to get a rough idea of ​​the scale, and then give a good feedback to the country, which will decide whether to accept the good intentions of the United States." The ambassador secretly changed his face. Of course, he must strive for the best interests of the UK, even if it is defeated interests The United Kingdom can get the biggest.
"For the Army, our American home is not thick, so I am willing to take out 300 m3 tanks and 2,000 cars." Roosevelt said, "This is the greatest sincerity I can take."
"In addition, we will provide 2,000 fighters, including the p-36 and subsequent more advanced models, to help the British stabilize the local air dominance. Although the p-36 cannot cope with the various German aircraft forces, it is better than none. , Right? "He did not wait for the British ambassador to open his mouth and continued to tell his chips.
"We still need 2 million grenades. Mr. President, once Germany invades England, we will vow to resist the invaders." The British ambassador replied.
"Yes! Then on the navy side, we will help the British to produce 4 aircraft carriers and corresponding convoy fleets. I will try to give these warships to the British within one year, but can these warships catch up with the British mainland , You can only see what the Germans mean. "
"I believe that if these promises can be fulfilled, the Germans cannot end the Anglo-German war before 1940." The ambassador said with a smile: "With these, we will resist to the end! Let the Germans know their contempt for Britain, yes Completely wrong behavior! "
His answer made Roosevelt very satisfied. The United States just wanted to fight for about two years. Once the powerful industry in the United States is fully productive, armed with millions of troops and equipped with more advanced weapons and equipment, it is a breeze.
Hopefully, the progress of the war can slow down quickly ... Looking at the back of the leaving British ambassador, Roosevelt thought.
At a port in New York, box-by-box grenades were loaded onto cargo ships, and the grenades-laden boxes on the ships were already piled up like mountains. The American flag hangs on this ship. The United States naturally hopes that such important arms supplies can be safely transported to its destination, Britain, because there is a dangerous situation where every bullet and every shell has to be saved. .
"Be careful!" A crew member reminded the cumbersome loader: "These are flammable and explosive things. If you are not careful, the whole ship will become a big firework!"
"Understood! Sir." The worker who looked like he was carrying the ammunition on board nodded and nodded. He said, while putting a box of bullets in his hands on another pile of hills, this transport ship was filled with 100 million rounds of bullets and hundreds of thousands of grenades, which is the most important aid transportation fleet. A member.
Other ships include 30 ships carrying steel and grain, 15 ships carrying crude oil, and the remaining 9 ships. This ship is exactly 10 commercial ships carrying arms supplies.
Including 50 tanks and 400 trucks drawn directly from the US team. For convenience and the best transportation results, these vehicles are filled with fuel, and the cockpit is filled with materials such as bandages.
However, these ships haven't had time to leave the US port. The news that the British capital London was once again attacked by the air has reached the United States. Because the statistics have not been completed, the exact loss cannot be estimated. But just a preliminary estimate shows that almost 200,000 people are homeless, and more than 3,000 people died directly in the air crash.
What made the U.S. even more depressed and the British did not look up was that the strongest hurricane fighter unit of the Royal British fighters stationed near London was wiped out, and the 20 fighters that had been painstakingly managed were shot down and 16 pilots died . If we counted the p-36 fighters supported by the United States, this interception operation alone caused 44 British pilots to be killed and 72 planes shot down.
The British Ambassador once again urgently met. When he saw Roosevelt, he wept bitterly and made a new request from the British government to the United States: "Mr. It ’s not a problem, we ’re willing to pay £ 5,000 for a pilot. "
