Admiral Eisenhower saw Henry Agard Wallace sitting in the seat Roosevelt once sat, and was a little uncomfortable. When Roosevelt was just as president, he was transferred to MacArthur, then Chief of Staff of the 6th Army, as an assistant, so he often followed his superiors to the White House, so he became an old acquaintance with Roosevelt. For nearly 12 years, the person sitting on that seat was always Roosevelt. This made Eisenhower have an illusion that Roosevelt's era would never end.

But what surprised him was that when he returned to Washington from the Trinidad front this time, the US president had been replaced by Wallace. The "interim president" of the United States looked burly and strong, with a rectangular face full of righteousness. His eyes were bright and sharp, and he seemed to be unable to withstand any evil.

Standing next to the president are Presidential Chief of Staff William Leach and Chief of Staff Marshall Eisenhower of the 6th Army, and they are all familiar with them. They often discuss the situation of the war in person or through radio waves. The three of them often have the same view that the situation is not good, and the United States is better to end the war as soon as possible.

"Hello, Ike." President Wallace stood up and shook hands with Eisenhower happily. His hands were very strong, showing that he was very healthy. Eisenhower thought to himself, it would be great if President Roosevelt was as healthy as him.

"Ike, you must know the strength of the German 6th Army, right?" President Wallace asked Eisenhower, Marshall and William Lech to sit down. "How are they?"

“Very strong.”

"How strong is it?" President Wallace asked with a frown. "How many times the force do we need to defeat them?"

“…”

This question is difficult to answer. War is not a math problem. You can draw the outcome of the victory or defeat through simple comparison of quantity.

William Leach and Marshall looked at each other, and Marshall interrupted: "The president means, how many divisions do you need to defeat Santiago, Chile?"

"San Diego..." Eisenhower was stunned for a moment. He didn't know the situation on the Chilean battlefield very well. However, he knew the terrain around San Diego, which was not very beneficial to the attacking side.

Marshall told Eisenhower: "According to information, there are about 2 German divisions, 2 new Asbanian divisions and 1 new Asbanian anti-aircraft artillery group stationed there. However, the air superiority in central Chile is in our hands, and the sea control on the coast of Chile is also ours."

William Leach added: "Nine large fleet carriers commanded by Lieutenant General Mitchell will ensure the safety of maritime traffic lines."

Eisenhower understood that he was likely to be selected to command the troops to attack San Diego!

"At least 12 divisions are needed," Eisenhower said, "at least one of them is an armored division."

President Wallace laughed: "No problem! We already have 6 divisions there, and the 3rd Armored Division is on its way to the Bay of Valparaiso. Ike, are you willing to be the commander-in-chief of the South American Expeditionary Force?"

"Of course, sir, I'm willing to take this responsibility." Eisenhower knew that the US President was giving him an order, so he quickly stood up and stood attentive.

The president nodded: "I have another requirement that the 10th Army (the US ground forces stationed in Chile) must attack before January 25."

"January 25th..." Eisenhower thought for a while, but nodded reluctantly, "Mr. President, I will do my best."

Wallace looked at Marshall again and said, "25 days ago, the 6th Army Air Force must launch a large bombing of Buenos Aires!"

gentlemen."

Marshall answered repeatedly, saying that he was accepting the order of the US President for General Henry Arnold, the commander of the 6th Army Air Force. The latter is currently watching the live ammunition target of the "Bat" radar-guided gliding bomb with Spruins, the joint commander of the US Pacific-Atlantic Fleet.

The target shooting location was not in the Pacific Ocean, but in the harbor of San Diego. The harbor, which is often crowded with various warships and transport ships, has been cleared. Except for a scarred (injured in the Battle of the Hawaiian Islands), even a fishing boat was missing outside the target ship with no repair value.

Henry Arnold and Spruins stood on the platform on the roof of the original Pacific Fleet Command building, surrounded by a group of 6th Army air force and naval generals. Everyone was looking into the sky with a telescope.

Soon, the "buzzing" roar of the aircraft motor came from the air, and it became a sharp loud noise. At this time, three B-24 bombers in a shape of a shaped formation had appeared in the sky. Through the telescope eyepiece, Arnold, Spruins and others could clearly see that under the six wings of the three aircraft, an asm-n-2 "bat" radar-guided gliding bomb was hung with a small glider-like ass.

The three b-24s circled downward and quickly dropped from the original 4ooo meters to about oo meters, and were located above the scarred target ship.

"Two generals, the plane dropped bombs!"

Someone shouted, and Arnold and Spruins noticed that the three planes in the sky had thrown down six "gliders". The six "gliders" did not fly in the natural wind direction, but circled and descended around the target ship on the water. Obviously something was controlling them.

Admiral Arnold noticed that the flight of these six "gliders" was very slow, only about 40 kilometers. And the circling and descent rules were easy to grasp. If the target ship on the water had 4m anti-aircraft guns, it was probably that several of them had been shot down. However, no weapons were firing at them now, so the six "gliders" were able to slowly slide down and approach the target ship round by circle. In the end, two of the "gliders" suddenly hit the superstructure of the target ship's deck, and four of them plunged into the sea.

"Boom..."

As two balls of hot fireballs rose, Admiral Arnold and Admiral Spruins put down the telescope in their hands at the same time.

The two exchanged glances with each other, and Spruins said: "Henry, I think we have a killer weapon that can really hit the Germans!"

"But they fly very slowly and their power is too small." Henry Arnold seemed unsatisfied.

The guided weapon he was looking forward to was a big guy like the German Death Series and V Series. It weighed more than 2 tons of missiles, and could paralyze a battleship with one! However, the military department displayed today that it weighed only 85o kilograms, the warhead was only more than 4o kilograms, and there was no guided weapon with armor-piercing warheads. This thing hit the German battleships and aircraft carriers, and it was probably not going to cause much damage.

"I don't think so," Admiral Spruins shook his head and said with a smile. "This is a very good weapon. With it, all our twin and four bombers and reconnaissance aircraft have anti-ship capabilities and can also attack enemy ships at night. Henry, I think you understand what this means?"

Now Henry Arnold suddenly realized that the US 6th Army and the Navy Air Force are still equipped with many twin and four-bombers that cannot dive bombs and are difficult to conduct torpedo attacks at night. For the ongoing war, this type of aircraft can only act as night bombers and patrol aircraft, and basically has no threat to the German surface fleet.

But now, with this asm-n-2 "bat" radar-guided gliding bomb, all twin and four bombers, and even Katarina seaplanes can hang two "bats" to attack the German surface ships at night.

Even if you can't blow up any serious damage, it's good to scare it!

...

Thomas Dewey came to Rockefeller Manor, more than 10 kilometers away from New York City. He was interrupted by canvassing in California to meet John Rockefeller Jr. after learning that President Wallace ordered the FBI to investigate the National Fascist Party.

Apart from his most trusted driver and bodyguard, Tillet, who accompanied him to the magnificent Rockefeller Manor, only Nelson Rockefeller lost his position as assistant secretary of state after Wallace officially took over the presidency. Now he is temporarily "unemployed" at home and has become a dependent on his parents.

In a four-story building on a hill, the exterior walls and roofs are exquisitely carved. Thomas Dewey and Nelson Rockefeller met John Rockefeller, the head of the Rockefeller family.

"Thomas, we are in big trouble, big trouble!" After a few greetings from John Rockefeller and Thomas Dewey, they immediately got to the point.

"Sir, are you talking about the FBI's investigation into the fascist party?" Dewey asked with a frown.

"This is just one aspect." John Rockefeller Jr. shook his head, "Wallace is also preparing to use a military adventure to assist the Democratic Party in an election! They have been desperate to win the election. Even if the United States is in an unexplainable disaster, they are willing to do so. So Thomas, you must never lose this time! You must never let those villains continue to control the United States!"

Can't lose?

According to Gallup's poll, Thomas Dewey is now heading for failure!
