"Failed, or a fiasco? How is that possible?" Admiral Harold Stark seemed somewhat unable to believe such a result.

   "How big is our loss?" General James Richardson asked.

   Admiral Ernest Jin also stared at this general closely, obviously unable to accept such a result.

"Minister, according to the telegram sent back by General Nimitz, we lost 15 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 19 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers and 63 destroyers in the decisive battle with the German Navy." Replied with a scalp. Being stared at by three generals like this, especially since all three of them still possess great real power, this made the general feel a lot of pressure.

   "So many? How is this possible? Is the German navy really that powerful?" Admiral Ernest King asked, frowning. This is completely different from their initial expectations! They believe that even if the U.S. Navy cannot win, it should be a result of mutual losses, and it will not lose like it is now!

"General, we lost the 'Randolph,' 'Ticonderoga,' 'Lexington,' 'Saratoga,' 'Hancock,' 'Hornet,' Yorktown, Ranger, Enterprise, Wasp, Princeton, Bellowwood, Cowpens, Independence and Monterey "These aircraft carriers. In terms of capital ships, the losses are 'New Hampshire', 'Louisiana', 'Illinois', 'Wisconsin', 'Kentucky', 'South Dakota', 'Indiana',' The Massachusetts and the Alabama," said the admiral.

   When the names of the ships were announced, Admiral Harold Stark and others were silent. There is even the name of the specific aircraft carrier and battleship that were sunk, so there is no doubt that there is no doubt about this result. Obviously, this time the U.S. Navy really lost, and it lost its main force.

  Although they still have nine aircraft carriers and six capital ships left, they obviously have no strength to fight against the Germans. Not to mention competing with the Germans for command of the Atlantic Ocean.

   "In addition, of our 24 aircraft carriers, there are only less than 200 carrier-based aircraft left. The rest of the carrier-based aircraft were also lost during the battle." The general continued.

  Obviously, this is another unacceptable result. Aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, especially carrier-based aircraft pilots, are very precious. If lost, it will be difficult to make up for. The loss this time has made the US Navy unbearable.

   "How much loss have we caused to the Germans?" asked Admiral Harold Stark.

"Minister, according to the telegram sent back by the fleet, we have sunk one German aircraft carrier and one battleship. In addition, we have severely damaged three German aircraft carriers and five capital ships. In addition, we have also sunk four German heavy ships. Cruisers, 13 light cruisers and 18 destroyers." The general continued.

   "A fiasco, really a fiasco! Compared with the losses we caused to the Germans, our losses are undoubtedly much greater!" Admiral Harold Stark said helplessly.

  James? Richardson general and Ernest? King generals nodded again and again. Judging from the battle losses of both sides, they really lost a complete defeat this time!

   "General Richardson, General Jin, go and urge the shipyard to speed up the construction of warships. Now, we need more warships." Admiral Harold Stark said.

   "Yes, Your Excellency the Minister." General James Richardson and General Ernest King replied.

   "In addition, we must pay close attention to the production of carrier-based aircraft and the training of carrier-based aircraft pilots." Admiral Harold Stark urged. Not only do they need to acquire more warships, but also carrier-based aircraft and pilots are what they urgently need to supplement.

  James Richardson Admiral and Ernest King Admiral nodded, saluted, and left the office. They are all very clear, knowing that for the U.S. Navy, it has reached the point where it is a matter of life and death.

  Harold? Stark Admiral, then drove to the White House. He needs to report this news to President Roosevelt. As for what they should do next and what kind of countermeasures to take, I am afraid that they will need to work together.

   When Admiral Harold Stark rushed to the White House and entered President Roosevelt's office, he found that President Roosevelt was discussing issues with the Hopkins adviser.

   However, President Roosevelt immediately stopped talking and turned to talk to Admiral Harold Stark. Obviously, President Roosevelt was also very concerned about the decisive battle between the navy and the German navy. It can even be said that this decisive battle is the first.

   "Your Excellency, I am very sorry that the Navy has failed your expectations." Admiral Harold Stark looked guilty.

  President Roosevelt's expression suddenly became serious. He guessed the result from Admiral Harold Stark's words. However, this result is obviously not what he is willing to accept.

   "General Stark, have we failed after all?" President Roosevelt couldn't help but sighed.

  Although President Roosevelt had long expected that their navy might fail. However, he also had a sense of luck in his heart, hoping that the U.S. Navy would be blessed by God and create miracles in this naval battle.

"Yes, Your Excellency, we failed. In the decisive battle with the Germans, we lost 15 aircraft carriers, 9 battleships, 19 heavy cruisers, 28 light cruisers and 63 destroyers. In addition, the carrier air force It also suffered heavy losses, with less than 200 left. And we gave the Germans only one aircraft carrier and one battleship were sunk, another three aircraft carriers and five capital ships were severely damaged, and four heavy cruisers , 13 light cruisers and 18 destroyers were sunk." Admiral Harold Stark reported in detail.

  After hearing these figures, President Roosevelt realized that the U.S. Navy had suffered a complete defeat!

  At the same time, President Roosevelt couldn't help thinking, what should the United States do next after suffering such a disastrous defeat? Can they still achieve their goals in this war and defeat Germany in one fell swoop? Now, even President Roosevelt himself does not know what to do.
