There are only about five millionbat-ready troops in the U.S. Army. Most of these troops were formed before the United States entered the war. The training time is longer and the equipment is more sophisticated. To some extent, although these troops are far from being able topare with the elite troops of the German army, they can be regarded as having goodbat effectiveness.


    The rest of the troops were hastily formedter. Combat power is rtively poor. Especially after the German Air Force carried out a strategic bombing of the industrial areas in the Northeast of the United States, the heavy industry in the United States, especially the military industry, suffered a near-destructive blow. They already have a lot of weapons and equipment that cannot be produced anymore. Such as aircraft, tanks, armored vehicles and heavy artillery. In terms of ammunition, it can continue to produce, but the output is not as good as before. Therefore, the war potential of the US military has also been greatly affected. This further widened the gap in strength between the US military and the German army.


    The generals of the US military, it is precisely because of these reasons that they think that their chances of winning are not great. But President Roosevelt didn''t want to give up just like that, and wanted to fight again. Because President Roosevelt believed that if he went to seek peace with the Germans in this way, the Germans would inevitably treat them as a defeated country and ughter them arbitrarily. Even, the Germans will not ept their summation, and will stubbornly want to destroy the United States. Only by being able to teach the Germans a lesson on the battlefield and let them know the strength of the United States. Although the United States cannot defeat Germany, it also has the ability to make Germany pay a heavy price. Only in this way can a decent peace be achieved.


    Yes, President Roosevelt''s goals have been lowered repeatedly. From defeating Germany initially, world **** has been downgraded to fighting for a decent peace. In other words, let the United States continue to exist. Rather than perish directly.


    Although, it is not easy to achieve this goal, and it will even cost a lot of casualties. But President Roosevelt believes that as long as the goal can be achieved, then everything is worth it. President Roosevelt also hoped that military generals would support him. Therefore, he spent a lot of time convincing them. Fortunately, under his prestige and influence, the generals of the military have unified their thinking and are preparing for a big battle with the Germans. This will be a battle directly rted to the fate of the United States.


    "Your Excellency, because our factories have been destroyed, the Army Air Corps will not be able to get a single aircraft recement until new factories are built and put into operation. Now we have two thousand fighters and over a thousand bombers. These Bombers and fighter jets are deployed in areas west and south of Washington. In this battle, the Army Air Force will also do its best to fight the Germans until thest one. "Admiral Henry Arnold said.


    President Roosevelt nodded: "It is necessary to have such courage and confidence. I believe that we will be able to defeat the Germans in the end."


    "God bless the American Republic!" President Roosevelt said loudly.


    "God bless the American Republic!" The generals also shouted. As if this can really make God bless them.


    However, this actually shows their helplessness. After recognizing the reality and knowing that it is difficult to defeat the Germans, they can only pin their hopes on the blessing of the illusory God.


    After the military conference, President Roosevelt returned to the White House. He is not clear about military matters. However, he didn''t intend to reach out indiscriminately. He knew that it would only make things worse. It''s best to leave it to the professionals. Admiral Marshall and General Henry Arnold were generals trusted by President Roosevelt. He believes that with their professional talents, they can maximize the power of the US military. If even they cannot lead the U.S. military to win this battle, then the U.S. military ispletely hopeless.


    "Your Excellency, you look very tired, take a break!" said the consultant Hopkins.


    President Roosevelt shook his head: "No, our time is very tight now, and we must do our best to prepare for everything. If we are defeated by the Germans, then we will have a long time to rest gone."


    Hopkins couldn''t helpughing bitterly. Indeed, judging from the current situation, the life of the United States seems to have entered the countdown. Whether the United States can continue to exist depends on the performance of their military in this war.


    "Mr. Hopkins, do you think it is possible for us to defeat the Germans?" President Roosevelt asked.


    Hopkins wanted to answer immediately without even thinking about it, but was stopped by President Roosevelt.


    "Don''t fool me with those lies, I want to hear the truth!" President Roosevelt said.


    Hopkins was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Excellency, our chances of winning are very low. It can even be said that there is almost no chance of winning. The Germans are too strong, so strong that we have no way topete with them .And, even if we can defeat the Germans this time. Then, once the Germans are unwilling to fail and send arge army to attack us again, what can we do? If we want to defeat the Germans a second time, it is almost impossible Anything possible."


    President Roosevelt''s eyes dimmed, and he knew that Hopkins was telling the truth. In the current United States, the war potential has been greatly weakened. If the German army sends more troops to attack at any cost, the US military has absolutely no hope of winning. Even if you can get away with winning the first victory, you will definitely be defeated next time.


    "Mr. Hopkins, I know what you mean. However, we have no way out. If we don''t fight once, our country will cease to exist. I don''t want to fail like this!" President Roosevelt said.


    "Yes, Mr. President, I can understand." Hopkins nodded.


    "However, Your Excellency, we must leave a retreat. If the war cannot be won, then the United States can be destroyed. However, the people cannot die!" Hopkins persuaded.


    President Roosevelt naturally knew what Hopkins meant.


    "Don''t worry, Hopkins, I''ve already considered it. If we fail to defeat the Germans this time, then let''s surrender to the Germans. In that case, at least the people can be preserved." President Roosevelt said . Obviously, he has also considered these.
