After Admiral Nimitz proposed the plan concept, the combat staff of the U.S. Naval Operations Department completed the entire combat plan in just two hours.

  After that, Admiral Harold Stark immediately rushed to the White House to report to President Roosevelt.

  Although President Roosevelt was not from a military background, he served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. The navy's combat plan is still very clear.

   "General Stark, this is indeed a very good plan. If it succeeds, it can completely turn our defeat into victory and change the balance of power between the two sides in the Atlantic Ocean in one fell swoop!" A trace of excitement flashed across President Roosevelt's face.

  For the current United States, their situation is very dangerous. The Germans have come to their door step by step. If the Germans can no longer be stopped, then the Germans will land in North America soon. This is undoubtedly unacceptable for the United States. They must do everything possible to keep the Germans out of North America and prevent the flames of war from burning on their homeland.

"Your Excellency, the Germans are too proud and conceited. They defeated us in the Azores naval battle and severely injured us, so they thought they could completely suppress us. But now we still have the power to fight. The Germans Dispersing our forces will undoubtedly give us a chance to turn defeat into victory." Admiral Harold Stark said.

   "General Stark, is this plan likely to succeed?" President Roosevelt asked.

"Your Excellency, with our main force and that of the British Navy, it is not very difficult to defeat the German Navy's home fleet. As long as we can severely damage or even destroy the German Navy's home fleet, then we will regain the power to fully compete with the German Navy Even if we cannot completely defeat the German Navy, then we will have much more room to maneuver in the Atlantic Ocean." Admiral Harold Stark replied.

  President Roosevelt nodded: "Very good, General Stark, follow your plan and implement it! I hope you can bring a brilliant victory to the United States of America!"

   "Yes, Your Excellency the President." Admiral Harold Stark said.

  Although the failure of the Azores naval battle caused heavy losses to the US Navy. However, that didn't make them give up hope. The U.S. Navy still has great confidence in the next battle. They believe that they will not fail again and again. As long as one victory can be obtained, there is a chance of a comeback.

   "Your Excellency, the Germans may have already prepared for this. They will not show such obvious flaws. Therefore, it may be very difficult for us to defeat the Germans." Admiral Marshall reminded.

  President Roosevelt and Admiral Harold Stark couldn't help but nodded when they heard the words. They have to admit that Germany is a very strong opponent. It is not so easy to defeat the German navy. Since the German navy dared to divide its forces, they must have corresponding strategies.

"Then what should we do? The Germans now have an advantage. After they occupy Bermuda, if we don't want to fight back, it will only further expand the Germans' advantage. For us , will be even more unfavorable." Admiral Harold Stark said.

   Admiral Marshall nodded. Indeed, the German Navy is gaining a greater advantage step by step in the Atlantic Ocean. This is very, very detrimental to the U.S. Navy and the United States as a whole. If the Germans continue like this, they will soon launch a landing directly on North America. And once the powerful German Army landed in North America. If the United States wants to resist the German attack, I am afraid it will have to pay a greater price.

"Your Excellency, General Stark. With the strength of our navy and the British Navy, we are not the opponents of the three major fleets of the German Navy. However, if we can separate the three major fleets of the German Navy and fight on their own. Then we The Navy will have a great chance of winning." Admiral Marshall said.

   "Yes, General Marshall. The German navy is now scattered. However, their three major fleets can be further assembled. This is a threat to us." Admiral Harold Stark said.

   "Then, we will create pressure on the Germans so that their Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet can only stay in the waters near Bermuda. This will create opportunities for our fleet to defeat the German Navy's home fleet." Admiral Marshall said.

   "General Marshall, do you mean to launch an attack on the Bermuda Islands? But we simply don't have the power to launch an attack on the Bermuda Islands now." Admiral Harold Stark frowned.

   "If the Marine Corps lands forcibly without the guarantee of sea control, it is nothing more than courting death. And our shore-based SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft have no way to threaten the Bermuda Islands because of their range."

  The maximum range of the SBD2 dive bomber is only 1,700 kilometers, and the maximum range of the TBD torpedo attack aircraft is only more than 1,100 kilometers. The Bermuda Islands are more than 900 kilometers away from the continental United States. Although the maximum range of these two aircrafts can ensure that they can fly to the Bermuda Islands, but how to return after going there? We can't let these pilots carry out suicide attacks without return. If the U.S. military dared to issue such an order, those pilots would probably reject it immediately.

"General Stark, I know. So, the attack on Bermuda is done by the Army Air Force. We can dispatch P-51 fighter jets, **** B-17 heavy bombers, and launch an attack on Bermuda. Necessary Sometimes, we can even dispatch airborne troops to carry out airborne landing in Bermuda. In this way, the German navy can be dragged to the waters near Bermuda. The navy needs to launch an attack quickly, and strive to severely damage or even destroy the German navy in the shortest possible time. Fleet," said Admiral Marshall.

   Admiral Harold Stark nodded heavily. If the Army Air Force launched an attack, the German Navy's Atlantic Fleet and Mediterranean Fleet might not be able to go anywhere. In this case, enough time can be bought for the US and British fleets. Of course, it is conceivable that the Army Air Force will inevitably face crazy interception by the German Navy's carrier-based aircraft during combat. At that time, their losses will definitely not be small.

   "General Marshall, thank the Army for its support. We will definitely do our best to defeat the Germans!" Admiral Harold Stark said solemnly.
