"Mr. Admiral, do you think the Germans have the super bomb they have...what is that the visitor?"

"Atomic bomb, Mr. Senator, the Germans called it the atomic bomb."

"Oh, atomic bomb, is there any way for the Germans to drop the atomic bomb on American territory?"

"Yes, you can use the me264 long-range bomber for one-way combat flights, and after dropping the bomb, you can make a landing in the Atlantic Ocean or the pilot will jump directly."

“Can our combat aircraft not shoot it down?”

"It's very difficult because during this period we have deployed a large number of p47, p51, p61 and 7 on the Nova Scotia Peninsula in Canada, trying to intercept the me264 that fired missiles into New York and Boston, but the effect is very poor."

"Do you know what caused it?"

"It's not very clear, but the Army Air Force did an assessment and believed that the biggest possibility was that the Germans had an airborne radar with a large detection range. They might have installed this radar on their BV138 large seaplane and used this seaplane as radar warning aircraft..."

Washington, Capitol Hill. In the Senate Conference Room, a closed-door hearing on the situation of the war.

The question is Robert Taft, the leader of the Republican Senate, and the testimony is General Arnold Taft, the commander of the Army Air Force. The question raised by the question about the atomic bomb and the me264 penetration capabilities is simply prepared to prove that Roosevelt's point of view is correct. Admiral Arnold seems to have been prepared. Not only did he answer very fluently, his adjutant also took out a pre-printed copy of the written report made by the front-line pilot and radar station commander.

These reports can prove that the me264 has extremely strong penetration capabilities and it is difficult for American fighters to catch them. Moreover, Arnold has also prepared a very convincing analysis report, pointing out why the German me264 can always avoid the pursuit of American fighters.

And his analysis report was really correct. After the bv138e type water early warning aircraft began to officially enter service, several aircraft were immediately used to escort the me264 that attacked the United States.

Because the bv138e type water early warning aircraft has a powerful S-band radar, it can detect American aircraft at a long distance and notify me264 to avoid or evacuate.

Although the me264 does not carry the fight, it flies very fast. If it can be warned dozens of kilometers away from the enemy plane, it can completely slip away at high speed. If the American plane does not have radar command from surface ships, there will not even be a direction to pursue!

Therefore, the US Army and Navy Air Force have now spent a lot of effort and have not been able to capture several me264s that fired the Death 1b cruise missiles on the east coast of the United States. At the same time, American destroyers that perform radar search missions at sea are often attacked by me264s with the Death 1 anti-ship missiles. From September 20 to October 10, six destroyers were sunk, and the losses were heavy!

The interceptor of mee264 can be carried out by one-way bombing, and under the protection of radar alert aircraft, the possibility of breaking through major cities on the east coast of the United States at night.

...

"Mr. Admiral," it's now the turn of Democratic Senate leader Barkley to ask, "Is 29 bombing Europe during this period?"

"Yes." General Arnold replied.

"Mr. Naval Operations Minister," Barkley did not continue to ask Arnold, but turned to Naval Operations Minister Ernest King, "Did we use submarines to launch rockets to Japan during this period?"

"It's a rocket."

"Did these rockets follow mustard gas warheads, anthrax spore warheads and plague flea warheads?"

"There are no plague fleas, only mustard gas, anthrax spores and napalm bombs."

"We don't have plague weapons?"

"We have it, but it cannot be installed on rockets, it can only be deployed with aircraft."

"So, Admiral Arnold," Barkley asked, "can we use B-29 to drop plague bombs and anthrax bombs to big European cities?"

"Yes." Arnold frowned and nodded slightly, "If one-way bombing and night raids are adopted, there is a certain probability that it can be done."

"So how lethal the anthrax spore bomb and the plague flea bomb are? How many Europeans can we kill these two weapons?" Barkley asked, "Can anyone answer this question?"

Army Chief of Staff Marshall took over the question: "Mr. Senator, the lethality of bacterial weapons depends on the opponent's medical level and social organizational capabilities..."

"Please answer my question directly."

"It may kill tens of thousands-hundreds of thousands," Marshall thought for a while, and said, "there will be 10 times more people who are infected."

"So how many Americans can the atomic bombs the Germans currently have kill?"

"Maybe it can kill hundreds of thousands of people," Marshall said.

"That is, the exchange ratio between hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of people," Barkley asked. "Admiral, do you think the Germans are determined to use that atomic bomb against the United States?"

"No," Marshall replied, "but based on the exact information, the Germans built large-scale and technologically advanced uranium separation plants, and after all they were put into production, they would be able to obtain many uranium-235. Conservative assessment, by 1946, the Germans could have a number of atomic bombs that could reach 20-30. By then, they would be able to kill millions of Americans and destroy 20-30 large American cities on the east coast of the United States."

"But we will have the atomic bomb at that time, will we?"

"This...I'm not sure."

Obviously, the questions raised by the Democratic Party in the United States are not conducive to summoning. It seems that the one who proposed the summoning was not the Democratic president but the opposition Republican Party.

At this time, US President Roosevelt was also in the Senate conference room, leaning against a hard high-backed deputy chair, his face full of fatigue, his breathing seemed a little rapid, his chest was fluctuating rapidly, and his eyes were a little slow.

This old man, who has not had much time but has shouldered heavy burdens, has been so tired these days. He has two hearings during the day and has to face all kinds of difficult questions. At night, he has to deal with the mountains of government and military affairs, and holds meetings attended by senior government and military officials. He often has to work until the early morning. Not to mention that he, a patient who has suffered a stroke once, may not be able to bear it even a normal person. Not to mention that he is still facing huge pressure from all sides. He is gritting his teeth and holding on almost every day!

"Mr. President."

Now that the hearing on military issues has ended, the hearing on Roosevelt's health issues has begun another marathon hearing that lasts for several hours a day, it is really a bit difficult for Roosevelt.

"How do you feel now?" Robert Taft frowned when he asked a question. If military issues still require a hearing, there is no need to "listen" to Roosevelt's health. Just look at his appearance!

He should go to the ward to lie down and not come to the Senate to prove his health. If he is healthy like this, patients in the intensive care unit of Columbia and Cornell University Hospital of New York Presbyterians can all participate in the U.S. Marine Corps.

"I feel good," Roosevelt replied word by word. "In fact... I am in good health, and Dr. McIntyre thinks so in the health report."

Colonel Katton, the naval adjutant of Roosevelt, handed a forged health report to Taft. Taft pretended to go over it and said, "It seems that you are really... healthy, I have no problem."

"Can I make a request?" Democratic boss Barkley took over the topic at this time. He stood up at this time, "As a healthy person, can you stand and answer a few questions from me?"

stand?

Roosevelt was not very convenient to stand before he had a stroke. He had polio (or other strange diseases), let alone now?

However, Roosevelt could not refuse this request, because the hearing about his health was a public hearing. If he said he could not stand up even if he could not stand up, he would be embarrassed to say that he was healthy? That "health certificate" was definitely perjury.

Perjury at a Congressional hearing is a crime!

"No problem." Roosevelt gritted his teeth, grabbed the armrest of the chair with both hands, and supported it upwards, helping his weak legs to barely support his huge upper body. However, it could not last long with those two thin legs. Fortunately, there was a table in front of Roosevelt's body, and there were several thick books on it, which were still stacked together. This was deliberately placed by Colonel Katun, just to allow Roosevelt to hold them with his hands to support his body when necessary to keep his body standing. Roosevelt pressed his right hand on the book, his body shook, and finally stabilized.

"Senator Barkley, do you have any questions?" Roosevelt asked with a spirit.

Senator Barkley sighed softly, it seemed that Roosevelt was going to get through again this time!

At this moment, an adjutant of Ernest King, a Navy Lieutenant Colonel, ran in from outside the Senate conference room door, and ran to the Navy's Minister of Operations under all eyes, leaned over Ernest King and muttered a few words in his ear, and the admiral's originally wrinkled face suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Admiral King," Roosevelt had noticed Ernest King and the Navy Lieutenant Colonel, "What's wrong? Can you say it?"
