"There are no chemical weapons and bacterial weapons in the warheads of these missiles?" Roosevelt showed an extremely worried expression.

Biochemical weapons are the trump card in the hands of the United States and the only bargaining chip that the United States can use to deter Germany!

However, this deterrent weapon can have the best deterrent effect only if it is not used. If it is really used, what will happen? The Japanese cast bacterial weapons in the western United States, and the United States also cast chemical weapons and bacterial weapons to Japan with submarine rocket launchers. The casualties caused by this are certainly not light, but they have not reached the point where they can force the opponent to surrender. Instead, they further intensified the contradictions and made it difficult for the US-Japan peace talks.

"No…there is no report on this at the moment," said Army Chief of Staff Marshall.

Roosevelt breathed a sigh of relief, "So, do we know what these missiles were fired from?"

"It should have been launched from the plane." Naval Operations Minister Ernest King said, "There is a blockade between the Nova Scotia Peninsula and the Bermuda Islands consisting of reconnaissance aircraft, surface ships and submarines. If the German fleet appears nearby, it will definitely be discovered. Unless..." His brow frowned, "unless the German missile range exceeds 700 kilometers."

"700 kilometers?" Roosevelt frowned, "If a missile with a range of 500 kilometers can be built, 700 kilometers should not be a problem, right? Even if there is not now, there will definitely be this time next year. And the warheads that can be carried by missiles will definitely become heavier and heavier!"

Hearing these words, the Oval Office was silent and the atmosphere had become very depressing.

"Mr. President, missiles with a range of more than 700 kilometers may be able to be built for the German technology, but the cost will be very high, the weight of the warhead must be reduced, and the hit rate will also be reduced."

Army Air Force Commander General Arnold explained to Roosevelt: "So we judge that the missiles attacking Boston and Cambridge were launched from aircraft. The aircraft launching the missile should be 200-700 kilometers away from Boston."

"Can you defend?" Roosevelt asked.

Admiral Arnold and Admiral Marshall looked at each other, and the latter said: "Mr. President, judging from the attacks encountered in Boston and Cambridge today, Germany's missile speed is extremely fast, with a speed of 900-1,000 kilometers per hour. It is difficult to intercept with our fighter jets and anti-aircraft guns, so it has a certain effect on air balloons. However, the most effective way to defend against missile attacks is to kill the aircraft used by the Germans to carry missiles."

"How to fight?" Roosevelt asked again.

"The first thing is to strengthen the cordon between Nova Scotia and Bermuda," Admiral Arnold said. "More destroyers and reconnaissance aircraft need to be deployed to ensure that German bombers can be detected early.

The second is to deploy more long-range interceptors in the Nova Scotia Peninsula and Massachusetts. Considering that the Germans are likely to use night cover to launch bombers, the deployed fighter jets should be mainly p61 or f7f night combat models.

Then we will strengthen the air defense in Boston and New York, and deploy more anti-aircraft guns and air balloons.

Finally, we should also strengthen air defense training and long-range radar warning systems for citizens of Boston and New York…”

"Night interception, or on the Atlantic Ocean," Roosevelt looked at Arnold, "Admiral, how many German bombers do you think are being shot down by us?"

Night interception bombers are originally difficult, and now they have to place the interception location on the vast ocean, but there is no place to build radar stations. They found that the target depends entirely on radar and patrol aircraft on surface ships (mainly destroyers). Moreover, it is impossible to build airports everywhere at sea. It is definitely too late to wait until the destroyer or patrol aircraft discovers the target and then take off from the Nova Scotia Peninsula. The most feasible method is to maintain a large number of night fighters at any time in the air, and the number of troops required to be invested is unimaginable!

"Mr. President," said Admiral Marshall, "Although it is difficult to intercept enemy aircraft and missiles, the Germans' missile attack costs are also high. Considering the speed and reliability of missiles attacking Boston and Cambridge, they should use expensive jet engines or liquid rocket engines. The aircraft carrying them should be me264 long-range bombers, and the aircraft should take off in the Azores. In order to transport less than one ton of explosives to our homeland, the Germans not only used expensive missiles, but also burned more than ten tons of high-quality aviation fuel. Such a cost should be quite high for Germany!"

"This is actually a war of attrition. We have enough national strength to consume with the Germans!" Army Secretary Stimson interjected, "And we are not without the power to fight back."

Roosevelt nodded, knowing that relying on more than a dozen missiles is not enough to allow the American people to accept the reality of the failure of the war.

"Yes!" said Roosevelt, "We also have the power to counterattack!" He glanced at Admiral Arnold, "Our B-29 will continue to bomb Ireland and Iceland, and we must let the Germans know that we have the power to counterattack!

Also, when will our airport expansion work be completed in Valparaiso Bay?”

"One week," replied Admiral Marshall, "the construction is now going well, and it will definitely be completed in a week. In early October, our b-17 will be in there."

"Okay!" President Roosevelt nodded, as if he was very satisfied with the progress of the project. "Then start the air strike on Buenos Aires as soon as possible... If the Argentines can oust Juan Peron, we will definitely achieve a decent peace."

...

"According to the report of the U-4001 submarine, at least 18 missiles were caught in Boston and the neighboring city of Cambridge. Obviously, the navigation of the Death 1b missile is very effective."

On September 20, on the third day of the first air-launched missile attack on Boston, Air Marshal Kesselin and Air General Yeshunnek flew back to Berlin. They also brought back good news of the success of the missile attack.

As early as a day ago, Hessman learned about the situation when the missile attacked the city through the agents lurking in Boston. The missile attack that lasted for nearly an hour had destroyed some buildings and caused some casualties. However, compared with a large city like Boston, the losses were actually insignificant. After all, the more than 18 missiles hit only 14.4 tons of charge (explosive) and most of them had not hit any key targets.

However, the navigation system of the Death 1b cruise missile was indeed successful. Half of the 36 missiles fired that day landed in Boston and Cambridge. Not too far from MIT, all cruise missiles were aimed at MIT. Most of the 18 missiles that did not land in Boston and Cambridge also landed in the suburbs of Boston and Cambridge.

If the radio transmitting and positioning equipment on the missile can be used (in fact, a transmitter), and the information provided by the u-4001 and the lurking German spy can be corrected, the future hit accuracy will definitely be further improved.

"But Americans will not pay 500 billion euro marks of compensation for those 18 missiles."

Hursman shook his head and said, "We must launch more, more efficient and less costly attacks. There must be enough missiles landing in New York, Philadelphia and Boston to make them feel the pain of war and the invincibility of the German Empire.

In addition, we must make the illusion that we will attack the Caribbean to confuse the Americans. This will create favorable conditions for seizing Newfoundland."

It is impossible to defeat the United States by using cruise missiles alone, unless it can be installed with a nuclear warhead. However, miniaturization of nuclear weapons cannot be completed overnight, and this requires multiple nuclear tests. The premise of multiple nuclear tests is to have sufficient weapon-grade plutonium-239 or uranium-235.

It is not easy to produce a sufficient amount of plutonium-239 or uranium-235. It also takes time to improve the plutonium production reactor or build a large-scale isotope separation factory. Now the German U Engineering Committee does not have enough uranium-235, but there are some high-purity plutonium-239 that can be carried out several nuclear tests. Hessmann recently approved a second nuclear test aimed at miniaturizing the Hessenberg device, and plans to reduce the weight of the Hessenberg device from 4.5 tons to 3 tons. However, whether it can be successful, Hessmann has no idea at all, and Hessenberg has not made any promises to Hessenberg device.

Therefore, it seems inevitable to attack the Caribbean Sea and Newfoundland. Hessman listened to Goodrian's advice and prepared to use Newfoundland as a springboard for attacking North America. However, the intention to attack Newfoundland must be carefully hidden and cannot be revealed until the last moment.

Using missiles to attack the United States and attack the Caribbean Sea is a means to confuse the United States.

"Marson of the Imperial Empire," said Air Force Chief of Staff Yeshunnek. "If the cost of the attack is to be considered, it is definitely the best choice to use a missile carrier to generate a v1b cruise missile. However, in order to get the missile carrier close to the United States, the airport in the Bermuda Islands must be destroyed first."

Hessman glanced at Radell, "Where are the Cialis and the Pervier?"

"About 700 nautical miles off Guyana," said Raidel. "If you need it, you can reach the Bermuda Islands within 30 hours."

Hessman nodded, "Develop a long-term combat plan to attack the United States with missiles. The name is...The Tomahawk Project, and the 2nd Fleet is specifically responsible for missile attacks.
