“Mr. President, we don’t know what the Hans will do next, but since they bombed Gotham City, they will most likely bomb Washington. If you continue to stay in the White House, your life may be in danger, so I suggest you go to the south to avoid the limelight!” Washington is not far from Gotham City. Since the German bombers can attack Gotham City, they naturally have the ability to threaten Washington.

Washington is not large in area and has a small population, less than 300,000 people. Most of the population here are government-related staff and their families, including the White House, the Pentagon, Capitol Hill and many other very important landmark buildings!

If the Germans really bomb here, I’m afraid they can’t escape at all and will definitely be taken care of by the German bombs!

Therefore, Marshall was very worried that the president and a large number of Eagle Sauce officials would be targeted by the Germans and then beheaded.

If the president If a large number of high-ranking officials such as the president, vice president and the Minister of State Martial Arts were killed in the bombing, it is conceivable that the Eagle Sauce would fall into great chaos. By then, the Eagle Sauce would be leaderless. Without a president to coordinate and lead the state governments, the states might act on their own!

Once they fail to cooperate with each other, the Eagle Sauce will be in a state of disunity. In this state, it is simply impossible to confront Hans!

Therefore, the president and others must not make any mistakes!

Roosevelt shook his head when he heard Marshall’s words, and said,”If the German army really wanted to target me, they would have done so in the first bombing. The fact that they did not do so shows that in their hearts, there are more important targets than me!”

Roosevelt felt that the Hans people probably felt that it would be useless even if they were blown to death, not to mention that their actions might not succeed. After all, there was an air-raid shelter under the White House, and they would immediately move as soon as they received the alarm of the German aircraft attack. The German army would not have much chance of successfully killing them!

Moreover, even if the German action was really successful, it might not cause much damage to the Eagle Sauce, because the Eagle Sauce’s constitution has clearly stipulated the order of succession to the president if something happens to him. Even if the White House is wiped out, according to the order of succession, there are others who can immediately take over the situation. There may be a brief chaos across the country, but it should not last too long!

“But the president……”

“Okay, let’s not talk about this. The most urgent task now is to find out where Hans will attack next. In addition, we must find out where Hans is transiting from. This is crucial to us!”

Roosevelt did not give Marshall a chance to continue. The reason why he insisted on not leaving was because he did not want the people to misunderstand his actions.

If he stayed here, every American citizen would know that their president was fighting and not retreating. This would boost their morale and give them the courage to take up arms and fight back!

And if he left Washington and went to a safer place to hide, the people would definitely think that he was afraid of death and was deserting the battlefield!

Once they think so, not only will President Roosevelt’s own image and prestige be greatly affected, but the American people’s determination and will to resist will also be hit hard. By then, I am afraid that no one will have the courage to stay in the north to resist the invaders. After all, even the president has run away. , why would they stay and wait to die?

Therefore, Roosevelt was sure that if he retreated to the south, the people in the northeast would definitely follow suit and retreat to the south. They would never stay there and wait to die! The land area of the

United States is close to 10 million square kilometers, but the most essential areas, the most populous areas, and the most industrially developed areas are actually the thirteen original independent states in the eastern coastal areas.

And unfortunately, these thirteen states happen to be on the coast and very close to Europe, so they are very likely to become targets of German bombing!

These areas are the essence of the United States and are areas that must not be easily given up. Therefore, Roosevelt will not give up easily or retreat to the south unless it is absolutely necessary.

“Bermuda is in our hands, but the Azores are in the hands of the Germans. Will the Germans transit from the Azores?”

In front of everyone is a map of the North Atlantic, with Europe on one side and North America on the other.

The vast area in the middle is the ocean that stretches between the two continents!

There are many islands in the North Atlantic, but most of them are concentrated in the north near the Arctic Ocean, and these islands are closer to Europe and farther from America. The nearest islands are Bermuda and the islands in the Caribbean in the south, but those islands are too far from Europe. It is impossible for the Germans to fly here with wings, and they can come here quietly without alerting the Eagle Sauce people!

South America is the back garden of the Eagle Sauce, and the Caribbean region is still under their control at this time, so it is impossible for the Germans to infiltrate here. The places where they can serve as transit stations are nothing more than those islands in the North Atlantic!

“The Azores is unlikely. This place is more than 3,000 kilometers away from us, and we have been here before. Although there is a port on the island, there is no airport, so bombers cannot take off!”

Admiral Jin, the commander of the Navy, shook his head and denied this speculation.

“Could it be that the German bombers took off from their aircraft carriers, and they let their aircraft carriers quietly approach our coastal waters, and then released the bombers to bomb us?”

Someone made a guess, but this guess was immediately denied by Marshall!

“This is impossible. When we went to Hans, we visited Hans’s air force. The bombers they used to bomb us were B-29 bombers. These bombers are huge and heavy. The flight deck of an aircraft carrier is limited and very short. It is impossible to take off and land such a plane!”

This statement was recognized by Admiral Jin. After all, they have their own aircraft carriers, and aircraft carriers are indeed not suitable for taking off and landing large aircraft.

“There is only one possibility!”

After hearing what everyone said, Roosevelt took a deep breath and said slowly.

Everyone looked at their president, waiting for his next words.
