Chapter 476: Intelligence, guessing

"What the hell is going on? Why haven't the damn director of the Intelligence Agency got the exact information yet?" US President Adams roared in the White House office. In front of him, Secretary of State Brandon and US Chief of General Staff Zominsk stood silently in front of him.

"What exactly do the French want to do? Are they really strong enough to end a war and then start another war immediately without resting?" Adams said. If that were the case, then France would be too powerful. It seems that France had underestimated it before.

"His Excellency President, the French's actions this time were completely beyond our expectations. As we initially expected, after the end of the European war, France should have rested for at least one to two years. If that is the case, then our deployment will be completed. At that time, our strength will definitely be stronger than France. If Canada is added, even if we cannot defeat France, we should remain invincible." Zominsk said very annoyed. France's action this time completely disrupted the United States' plan.

"But General Zominsk. The facts are right in front of us. The French have increased their troops on the west coast of Europe. French ships are also beginning to gather, and a large number of French transport ships and merchant ships are gathered on the west coast of Europe. At that time, our entire eastern North Atlantic island chain defense will be attacked by the French. That will definitely be a disaster for us." Adams said in horror. The US military is not fully prepared. Although they have deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Ireland. However, given the gap in combat effectiveness between US soldiers and French soldiers, after estimates by the US Department of Defense, the United States and Canada are deployed on the eastern North Atlantic islands. However, given the gap in combat effectiveness between US soldiers and French soldiers, after the US Department of Defense estimates, the United States and Canada are deployed on the eastern North Atlantic islands.

The army on the chain should be at least 600,000 to 800,000 to resist the French attack. Of course, if they want to control the sea power, they need to suppress all the navy. But this is obviously unrealistic. So, at the beginning, the strategy set by the United States and Canada was that even if the navy failed in the Eastern Atlantic, the army must persist until the US and Canadian navies regained the sea power. Therefore, for this goal, the United States and Canada must not only deploy a large amount of troops on these islands and store a large amount of materials. They also have to build some arsenals so that they can continue to resist after the transportation line is cut off by France.

"His Excellency President, General Clark, Director of the CIA, asked for a visit." Adams's secretary came in and reported.

"Let him come in." Adams said angrily. He was about to cause trouble for Clark, why did France make such a big move this time, and the United States did not even get any information before. This fully demonstrates that Clark, the intelligence director, did incompetent.

"Hello, Your Excellency President, Your Excellency Brandon, and Your Excellency Zominsk, hello." Clark greeted everyone as soon as he came in.

"Clark, what did you do? Why didn't you get any news before?" Zominsk's first choice to post. When Adams scolded him, he didn't dare to resist and had already been furious. Now that Clark is here, he finally found a punching bag.

"I'm really sorry, it was our negligence. However, France's actions this time were really beyond our expectations. In addition, they did a very good job of keeping confidentiality, so we didn't get any news before." Clark immediately admitted his mistake. When he came, he had already thought about it. If he wanted to keep his position this time, this would be the only way. Otherwise, if these big men were unhappy, he would have to put on the bed and leave.

Seeing that Clark did not resist at all, Zominsk was so angry that he didn't know where to send it. He had to say in disappointment: "As the Director of Intelligence, you should always be vigilant. Crisis may occur at any time."

"Mr. Clark, what information did you bring this time? I really hope that the information you bring this time is very useful. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you change your position." Adams said with a hint of intimidation.

"Your Excellency President, please rest assured. The information I brought this time is absolutely useful. In order to get this information, I can make great efforts. A female intelligence officer, even her own body. In the end, after going through a lot of hardships, I got this information." When Clark said this, he seemed to be moved by the spirit of those intelligence officers and almost burst into tears.

However, Adams and others did not buy it. "Okay, okay. Don't talk about these useless things. Tell me about that information." Adams said.

"It's like that, according to the intelligence we have obtained, the French gathered about 500,000 troops on the western coast of Europe, and the garrisons and other troops on the Isle of Wight and other troops. The French assembled 700,000 troops this time. Among them, the 3rd French Legion was deployed in Norway. According to our speculation, their attack direction would be Iceland. The 89th French Legion also sent an infantry division with a size of more than 40,000 people, deployed in the northern Netherlands. Their attack direction should be the Faroe Islands. In Calais, it was the focus of the French army's deployment. They deployed two entire legions, including the 5th French Legion and the 2nd Iberian Legion. Among them, the 5th French Legion was

The newly established legion is not very powerful. In addition, on the Normandy Peninsula in France, the French deployed the elite French 89th Legion. After our speculation, the main force of the French attack will be Calais and Normandy Peninsula. They will set out from these two places, and with the cooperation of the Isle of Wight garrison, quickly defeat the UK, and then start a war with us. As for how Britain will choose, I am very worried that under the strong pressure of France, they will directly choose to surrender or be neutral, and allow France to pass through their territory. In this way, their offensive target will be very obvious. The French must want to take down the Ireland Islands and collapse the island chain we built." Clark analyzed.

It has to be said that his analysis is reasonable. So much so that Adams and Brandon, two people with no military experience, nodded in hearing it. Although Zominsk, the chief of staff, felt that something was wrong, he could not find a place to refute.

"Send a message to General Davis. He should pay close attention to the movements of the French army and be prepared to resist the invasion of the French army at any time." Adams said. "In addition, order the navy to strengthen its defense and be ready to provide support to the army at any time."

At this time, on the Ireland Island, the US and Canadian troops had already become regiments. All vacations were cancelled. All troops were all maintained at the highest alert. Although Davis didn't know why France chose to attack the US troops at this time, he knew that if the French attacked, then Ireland would undoubtedly become the primary target of the opponent's attack.

On the Ireland Island, a total of 350,000 troops are now stationed. Among them, 120,000 Canadian troops and 230,000 US troops. As the highest commander of the entire Eastern North Atlantic defense line, Davis also placed his command here.

After the news of the French attack was about to launch a attack reached Davis, he had already started to prepare. Ireland was undoubtedly the area where he was deployed. In Ireland, in addition to the American and Canadian forces, there was another force, that is, the Irish Republic. Under the oppression of the United States and Canada, the Irish army was not large in size, probably only about 100,000. However, considering that if the war broke out and the United States and Canada could not win the war in a short period of time, the war would definitely fall into a stalemate. At this time, according to Davis,

It is estimated that their connection with the country must have been cut off long ago. By that time, they will not be able to replenish troops. The Irish army will be a very good cannon fodder. Therefore, Davis asked the Irish side to expand its army. But the Irish government is not a fool. In the past, they tried hard to expand their army, but the United States and Canada did not allow it at all. Now that they are facing difficulties, they will not be fooled, because, in the hearts of the Irish people, France is extremely powerful, and being enemies with them is no other difference from seeking death.

While the United States and Ireland were in a panic, South America seemed a little calm. Cavenster, the highest commander in South America, felt something was wrong. Why did the French make such a big move just as he was about to encircle the French army entrenched in northern South America? His intuition told him that there must be a huge conspiracy.

After the US Intelligence Agency determined that France would launch an attack on the island chain established by the United States and Canada in the eastern North Atlantic region, the US General Staff issued an order to make Cavinster stop all military operations. If anything goes wrong on the front line, reinforcements must be drawn from South America.
