Iron Germany

The economic crisis more than ten years ago brought the US economy to the verge of collapse, the unemployment rate soared, and the country suffered heavy losses. In order to save the country from the economic crisis, President Roosevelt chose to develop armaments and use government procurement orders to stimulate economic development. This allowed the United States to get rid of the economic crisis while gaining a strong military strength.

However, the sequelae of this is that the U.S. government has incurred huge debts for this. Even on the verge of bankruptcy. For this reason, President Roosevelt had to focus on foreign wars.

If the United States can win foreign wars, the benefits obtained will allow the United States to quickly get rid of these debts and become the world's hegemon in one fell swoop.

It is precisely because of this that senior officials of the US government and military are ambitious to join this war. Although they all know that their enemies are very powerful. The possibility of failure is very high. But even so, they hope to try it out, and hope that a miracle will happen, so that they can win the war in one fell swoop.

But now, the war has begun. However, the performance of the U.S. military was obviously not as expected. The powerful U.S. Navy was actually defeated by the German Navy in the first naval battle, and it was still a complete defeat. There is no doubt that this will put the United States in a very disadvantaged position just after entering the war.

"Your Excellency, I am so sorry!" Admiral Harold Stark said again. His face was full of guilt, and if he could, he even wanted to apologize with death. Of course, even if he died immediately, it would not be able to change the result of the defeat of the U.S. Navy, and death would be in vain. Therefore, Admiral Harold Stark quickly dismissed such unrealistic thoughts.

President Roosevelt came back to his senses at this time. The failure of the US Navy this time made President Roosevelt very disappointed. In order to enhance the strength of the navy, the US government has tried everything possible. They gave a large amount of materials to the navy, allowing the navy to quickly build a large number of aircraft carriers, battleships, carrier-based aircraft, and so on. But in the end, the U.S. Navy still suffered a crushing defeat.

However, President Roosevelt is also very clear that this time the failure cannot be completely attributed to the navy. The navy has done its best in this battle. The loss of so many carrier-based aircraft pilots and sailors is proof. The reason why they failed was entirely because the enemy was too strong.

"General Stark, I know that you have tried your best. The reason why we lost this naval battle to the Germans is that they are stronger than us. We challenged them to hit a stone with a pebble." President Roosevelt said helplessly.

"Your Excellency, the navy has failed. Without defeating the German navy, naturally there is no way to gain command of the Atlantic Ocean. In this case, a series of our plans will no longer be implemented. I am afraid that we will have to redo the follow-up plans. said Hopkins.

Although, the fiasco of the US Navy shocked Hopkins. But he knows that now is not the time to feel sorry for himself, and he must find a way to minimize the losses of the United States. And, find a way to get the United States out of the predicament caused by the failure of this naval battle. Otherwise, in this war, the United States will have no hope at all.

"Yes!" President Roosevelt nodded.

Originally, they expected the U.S. Navy to defeat the German Navy so that they would be able to control the sea in the Atlantic Ocean. At that time, not only can Germany be blocked, but even attacks on Europe can be launched. If all goes well, the army can also be sent to conduct landing operations in Europe. But now, everything is impossible.

"Call the ministers of the cabinet, as well as the generals of the army and navy, and hold a meeting! The American Republic has reached the most critical moment!" President Roosevelt said.

President Roosevelt is undoubtedly a very tenacious person, otherwise he would not be able to drag his sick body to defeat each opponent, and eventually became the president of the United States.

"Yes, Your Excellency the President!" The secretary immediately went to make arrangements.

"General Stark, what is the Navy going to do next?" President Roosevelt asked.

Before anyone else came, President Roosevelt hoped to know what the Navy was thinking about next.

"Your Excellency, our main force has been wiped out by the Germans, which makes it impossible for us to compete with the German Navy for sea dominance in the Atlantic Ocean for a long time to come. The main goal of the Navy will be to defend the eastern coast of the United States. And, we have asked the major shipyards to further speed up the construction of our warships. We hope to have more aircraft carriers and other warships in the shortest possible time. So that we can continue to fight against the German navy." Harold? Admiral Stark said.

President Roosevelt nodded. After suffering heavy losses, the U.S. Navy did not give up hope. This is undoubtedly what President Roosevelt wanted to see. Although the U.S. Navy has suffered a lot this time, with its strong shipbuilding capabilities, it will soon be able to replenish those aircraft carriers and other warships for the U.S. Navy. Therefore, it is not difficult to restore the strength of the navy.

"General Stark, I hope that after experiencing this failure, the navy can sum up its experience, make persistent efforts, and find a way to avenge its shame in the next naval battle! I will ask the government to provide the navy with more information as much as possible." A lot of support." President Roosevelt said.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Harold Stark Admiral God nodded. President Roosevelt's attitude somewhat exceeded his expectations. Still, it's certainly important for the U.S. Navy. With the support of President Roosevelt, the damaged strength of the U.S. Navy will soon be replenished.

"The Germans are stronger than we thought! To defeat us, we need to continue to work hard!" President Roosevelt sighed.

"Yes, Your Excellency. The soldiers on the front line have to admit this after fighting the Germans. Not only do they have more advanced equipment than ours, but they also have higher-quality pilots. Even in terms of tactics, they are We are above us. It is because of this that we have suffered a crushing defeat." Admiral Harold Stark said.

President Roosevelt nodded: "The Germans are very strong, but we have nothing to do now. For the future of the American Republic, no matter how strong the Germans are, we must defeat them!"
