Although they were unable to participate in the German military parade, senior U.S. officials also learned from various channels that the Germans displayed various advanced weapons during the military parade.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Commander Arnold sighed deeply. From the outbreak of the war to now, he has lost weight and become quite haggard, as if he has aged more than ten years in an instant. The other people in the conference room are not much better, they are all depressed and depressed.

Because the German B-52 jet bombers visited last time, Commander Arnold also knew that the Germans had developed jet bombers; as he expected, they also produced jet fighters, and they were two different types. model. The Germans seem to believe that the future is the jet age, while the United States does not even have jet-related projects and is already lagging far behind.

Do we need to start researching jet engines?

After thinking about it, Commander Arnold shook his head. Even if they start research immediately, they don’t have any relevant foundation and everything has to start from scratch. When will results be produced? No matter what, it will take four to five years, or eight or nine years if it is too late? The daylilies will probably be cold by then. And the German jet fighters will not be put into large-scale service in a short period of time. After all, their piston fighters have still rarely met their opponents. Thinking of this, Commander Arnold felt a dull pain in his temples. His own piston fighters were no match for the Germans. Even if they developed jet fighters, would they be able to beat the German jets? By the time they are produced, the German jet fighters will probably have been updated!

It’s really a step behind, a step behind; a careless move, and the whole game is lost!

Just as Commander Arnold sighed with great melancholy, Vice President Truman asked. "Here, is there any way to intercept the Germans' long-range missiles?" Only then did they know that the so-called "flying bombs" had already been named by the Germans, called "cruise missiles" and "ballistic missiles." The most terrifying thing is that the longest range of these missiles can reach 10,000 kilometers.

"..." Commander Arnold smiled bitterly. They couldn't even intercept cruise missiles flying at hundreds of kilometers. How could they intercept something with a terminal speed as high as ten times the speed of sound? There was only one interception method he could think of, and that was to destroy the opponent's launch base in advance. Not to mention whether these launch bases can be found, even if they are found, how to destroy them? Send bombers? They have to be shot down by the opponent before they even get close. Send ground troops? It can only come true in dreams.

"Only a large number of underground defenses can be built, and the depth cannot be less than 10 meters." Things with a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound, let alone explosives, even an iron lump can create a big hole with its kinetic energy alone.

Vice President Truman frowned slightly. He now had a headache when he heard about fortifications and projects. The construction of the Atlantic Defense Line and the Pacific Defense Line has already begun. The manpower, financial and material resources that need to be invested are really astronomical. Now we still need to build a large number of underground defenses in hundreds of big cities?

Commander Arnold naturally knew the current predicament. "Actually, most of the residents in the city have already left the city." After the German army burned New York City last time, whoever dared to live in the city fled to the surrounding countryside. "It only needs to be reinforced on the basis of the original underground fortifications, which can save a lot of time."

"It seems that this is the only way." Vice President Truman sighed dejectedly, wondering in his heart how could this war end like this? Now even if the United States wants peace talks, the Germans will not agree. To be precise, it's not that they disagree, but that the Germans have put forward peace negotiation conditions that are simply impossible for the United States to accept, and the war can only continue. “How about over there in Alaska?”

"The German bombing continues, and cities such as Juneau and Anchorage have been bombed into ruins. But this is not the point. The most important thing is that the Alaska garrison's food reserves can last for up to a month. This is still In addition to the food they hunted, I heard that almost all the animals in the nearby mountains have been caught, and now it is difficult to even see a mouse. In addition to food, they also seriously lack cold protection supplies." The cold protection supplies originally planned to be sent to Alaska and Due to Canada's sudden "rebellion", food supplies are now piled up at the border between the United States and Canada. Two days ago, they secretly broke up with Canadian high-level officials, hoping to secretly send these supplies to Alaska. However, the Canadians also participated in the military parade and were probably too frightened to agree to their deal.

How long can the Alaska garrison hold on without food and cold-proof supplies?

"How about..." Vice President Truman opened his mouth but hesitated. In fact, everyone here knew what he meant, which was to simply let the Alaska garrison surrender, so as not to freeze to death and starve to death. By then, I'm afraid it wouldn't be them, the senior officials, who asked them to surrender.

But they are unwilling to do so!

I really can’t bear to give up such a piece of land to others for nothing!

Therefore, they can only hold on to the last glimmer of hope and pray for a miracle.

But will a miracle happen?

Unless God comes.

But now it seems that God is on the side of the Germans.

While sighing, they heard another violent explosion coming from the distant Washington city. After a while, the secretary came in and reported that Washington city had been bombed, but no trace of the aircraft was found on the radar.

Everyone knew it was a "ballistic missile" from the Germans. It traveled at a speed of more than ten times the speed of sound, and it was normal that radar could not detect it.

"Where did the Germans launch it from?" Someone in the corner muttered, but no one was interested in analyzing this issue. After all, it is possible to launch anywhere, as close as the Bahamas, Bermuda, St. Pierre and Miquelon Islands, and as far away as Greenland, Iceland and even Germany.

After a while, Commander Arnold muttered to himself. "I think it was fired from close range." Although the Germans claim that the range of their missiles can reach 10,000 kilometers, with the current guidance system, can these missiles still maintain their accuracy after flying thousands of kilometers? How big does the error have to be? It may be tens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers.

But this is just a guess, and he can't guarantee it 100%. Who knows if the Germans have any way to reduce the error?

Marshall on the side suddenly spoke. "Are there any duds? If there are duds, can we imitate them?"

This is a good idea, but the Germans have already taken precautions against this. The detonation of the missile is not just a fuse, but multiple insurances to ensure that the launched missile will definitely explode.

Commander Arnold shook his head. "No duds have been found so far." He was talking about cruise missiles, and if ballistic missiles fell at that speed, they would explode anyway.

"..." The conference room fell into silence again, and they could only listen to the explosions in the distance quietly.

One ring after another, a total of more than 50 times before it stopped. (Only one chapter today)
