Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 2859 still have to ask the Chinese
Lieutenant General Brennan, commander of the U.S. Army Air Forces, flew back to Washington from Salt Lake City on the West Coast as quickly as possible to meet with President Roosevelt.
Roosevelt, who looked even more haggard, had high hopes for the commander of the Army Air Forces. He flew all the way back to Washington from the West Coast, where the air battle was fierce, to see him. He attached great importance to Brennan's Army Air Forces, but
The first line of defense against the Japanese.
Roosevelt postponed an important meeting and specially summoned Lieutenant General Brennan in the White House Office of the President. He was accompanied by General Jeff Field, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General Shulk, Chief of Staff of the Army.
Head of the United States Army.
These two military bosses appeared together with the president. It was obvious that Roosevelt attached great importance to Lieutenant General Brennan's return to Washington and was eager to learn about the situation on the west coast and the battle with the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force.
What brought huge pressure to Roosevelt was not only the Japanese's continuous air raids and bombings along the West Coast, but also the unusually frequent mobilization of German troops on the Mexican border, and the Mexican government's seizure of American guns.
After the war with the U.S. dollar, his attitude was so aggressive that Roosevelt had to order to stop mobilizing Army troops to the west coast.
Instead, all the Army forces on hand were concentrated on the US-Mexico border to deal with the increasing pressure from the Germans. In this way, Lieutenant General Brennan's combat plan of using the number of fighter jets to kill the Japanese became particularly important.
important.
Roosevelt was not a professional soldier, but he did not lack senior military advisers and advisers. Therefore, he was not alone in some military issues. He also knew that if the Japanese wanted to land on the west coast of the United States without gaining air supremacy, they would
It won't work.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Lieutenant General Brennan entering the office, he hurriedly asked: "General Brennan, how is the battle with the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force? Although you have battle reports every day, I still want to hear from you.
Say it yourself!"
"Mr. President, the situation is very bad!" Lieutenant General Brennan said with a look of shame: "In the more than ten days of air combat, our Army Air Force suffered relatively heavy losses. Although it was fighting in the local airspace, it was always at a disadvantage.
!”
"Why is this happening?" Roosevelt's face suddenly became ugly. He was standing guard at the door of his home. He could take off to meet the enemy at any time. But he was in a passive position to be beaten. No one else could understand it?
Lieutenant General Brennan looked at Roosevelt's ugly face, swallowed hard, and explained: "Mr. President, I understand that the reason why the Air Force is in a passive position is that the Japanese army has equipped a new type of radar. The detection range is
And the distance is several times or even dozens of times more than the performance of the radar we use now!”
"The army aviation fleet often just takes off. All actions fall into the eyes of the Japanese commander. The battlefield is transparent to the Japanese, but to us, it is like a blind and deaf person!"
"Do you have definite information that proves that the Japanese are indeed using radar whose performance far exceeds that of our army?" Army Chief of Staff General Shulk suddenly interjected and asked, explaining his explanation to Lieutenant General Brennan.
He was very suspicious because the Army Intelligence Agency had never received any information in this regard. Therefore, he believed that Brennan was making excuses for his failure to shirk responsibility.
"No!" Lieutenant General Brennan answered simply, "However, based on my summary and analysis of multiple air battles over the past ten days, I can confirm this! I can guarantee it with my military honor!
"
Lieutenant General Brennan's assurance was feeble because he could not provide any evidence. Even General Jeff Field, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, did not believe that the Japanese could surpass the U.S. Army.
Who believes that the military radar currently in use can surpass that of the United States in terms of military technology level of the Japanese?
However, Roosevelt believed that he would see battlefield situation reports from the Army Aviation Command every day. He was also very puzzled by the number of Army Aviation combat aircraft losses. He knew that Brennan was by no means an incompetent commander.
, but when facing the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force, they were repeatedly defeated. This is a problem!
Politicians think about issues from a different perspective than soldiers. Roosevelt waved his hand to stop what General Shulk was about to say, and said to Brennan: "General Brennan, I believe in your judgment, but I don't want to become a
What I want to know is the reason why Army Airlines is in a passive position and you have any safe solution to it?"
Lieutenant General Brennan was very grateful for Mr. President's understanding. After all, he had no intelligence support and it was purely an empirical judgment. Therefore, he bluntly said, "Mr. President, if you want to reverse our situation in the air battle,
At a disadvantage, I have no choice but to seek help from the Chinese Tang Qiuli!"
"What?" At this moment, all three of them, including Roosevelt, frowned. That damn Chinese, when the Axis powers declared war on the United States, refused to even issue a statement of solidarity, but instead produced one
Now, you have to ask him for a neutral statement. Besides, is it useful to ask him? Is Brennan's brain broken?
"Why?" Roosevelt asked, suppressing his inner anger.
Brennan explained: "Mr. President, two generals, three years ago, I went to China to assist the Nationalist Government in military equipment. It was at that time that I heard a senior general of the Chinese government army talk about this.
thing!"
"I remember the Chinese general said, 'The Japanese have a powerful aviation force, but in the hands of our Vice Chairman Tang, they cannot take any advantage. The current ** division troops are equipped with the most advanced radars in the world.
Once the Japanese plane takes to the sky, there is no way to hide it. The fighter jets of the ** Division Aviation Corps are waiting for the Japanese plane to arrive at your door!'"
"Therefore, I can be sure that the Chinese Tang Qiuli has a new radar that exceeds or is at least comparable to the radar currently equipped by the Japanese. Therefore, I request the president to negotiate with Tang Qiuli at any cost.
The price is to get this latest radar!"
"Mr. President, two generals, this is a major matter of whether the Army Air Force can defeat the Japanese's attempt to land on the west coast. Otherwise, if the current losses continue, the Army Air Force will not be able to bear it and gradually lose air superiority. Why?
Defeat the Japanese invasion?"
Several people were silent. Although they didn't quite believe Brennan's words, the Japanese could not build a military radar that surpassed that used by the US military, let alone the backward China, but they had to consider the consequences of Brennan's words.
, after all, the loss of Army Aviation is a ruthless fact.
"Brennan, you know, this is difficult!" President Roosevelt sighed and said: "Tang Qiuli issued a statement of neutrality on behalf of the Chinese government, which means that he cannot provide any help from the United States!"
"However, we must give it a try. Jefferfield, let's send Robert, the chief of operations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to Rangoon as a special envoy of the US government. After all, he is familiar with the temperament of the Chinese. You clearly told him
Robert, try to meet the greedy Chinese's demands, as long as they are within the scope of acceptance by the US government!"
Roosevelt's attitude towards this matter was "treating a dead horse as a live doctor!" Brennan's Army Air Forces were always overwhelmed by the Japanese Army and Navy Air Force fleets, and it was no big deal. The Chinese Tang
Qiu Li, there are still many trump cards that have not been revealed. I really can't figure out the routine in my heart, so I might as well give it a try!
However, Roosevelt also kept an eye on it and defined a range for Robert, "Within the range of acceptance by the U.S. government!" rather than "Within the range of acceptance!" It was the same as the man who was greedy, cunning, sinister and despicable, and had no morals at all.
When dealing with Chinese people, it is better to be cautious!
Now that the matter had been settled, Brennan hurried back to Salt Lake City anxiously. Admiral Jefferfield and Admiral Shulk also said goodbye. The two of them still had a lot to deal with, and the Germans alone
On the Mexican border, the unusually frequent movements were enough to make two heads of the U.S. Army feel confused and have endless headaches!
Roosevelt took a short rest. Now his physical condition was getting worse. He was holding on with just one breath. White House Chief of Staff Joel Na, who was waiting on the president, drank a few pills and laughed.
To: "Mr. President, you have an important meeting to attend!"
"Alas!" Roosevelt sighed secretly and said helplessly: "Joelna, let's go!"
Joelna pushed Roosevelt, but before he left the office, a secretary came in and said, "Mr. President, Sir Churchill, the British Prime Minister, has asked to see you and is waiting in the reception room now!"
"What is Churchill doing here at this time?" Roosevelt couldn't help but be stunned. This prime minister of the British Empire's government-in-exile had rarely appeared in front of him since the Allied Forces in Australia suffered a disastrous defeat and Britain's last bit of capital was lost on the Australian battlefield.
Wow, if you think about it carefully, it’s been about half a month, right?
It seems that this old friend of mine has deliberately alienated himself. Apart from publicly issuing a statement in support of the United States after the Axis Powers declared war on the United States, I don't know what he is doing at ordinary times. It just so happens that the United States is now
There are a lot of bad things going on, and I am not in the mood.
This was not the case before. Churchill would have a hand in all matters related to the Allied Powers and the Allied Forces to show the actual existence of the British Empire and to hint to the outside world that he was one of the leaders of the Allied Powers on an equal footing with him. Now, Churchill suddenly came to visit.
Roosevelt must be allowed to think more about various possibilities!
"Joelna, please go and inform that the originally scheduled meeting has been canceled and postponed to tomorrow morning!" Roosevelt ordered, and then asked his secretary to push him to the reception room.
As soon as he entered the reception room and saw Churchill sitting on the sofa, Roosevelt was so surprised that he almost exclaimed.
