The only thing the Japanese army could do in the Battle of Wright Bay was to rush towards the US warship with the suicide fighter jet of the "Kamikaze Death Squad" and sank the escort aircraft carrier "Saint Lo".

The news soon reached Roosevelt. Roosevelt couldn't help but frowned and asked Ernest strangely: "Why didn't the Japanese surrender yet? Is it meaningful for them to fight like this?"

Ernest replied: "Mr. President, the Eastern people have different ideas from us. When we feel that the outcome of a war is determined, we feel that sacrificing human lives is meaningless. But Eastern people often persist until the last moment, just like the Japanese often launch a 'jaundice attack' on the battlefield!"

"You mean..." Roosevelt looked at Ernest with some shock: "Will they fight stubbornly until the last moment at the cost of the lives of the people across the country?"

"It's very likely!" Ernest replied: "According to our intelligence, the Japanese have already carried out 'National Jade Shatter' propaganda in China!"

"These madmen!" Roosevelt cursed.

Then Roosevelt asked again: "Is their suicide attack...a great threat to us?"

Ernest nodded: "Even if the Japanese ordinary fighter jets dropped bombs on our warships, they had problems with hit rate and lethality. One or two bombs hit the warships and it was difficult to destroy them, while our air defense forces could have more time to shoot them down. However, for this suicide fighter jet, because it directly hits our warships, it has a high hit rate and great destructive power. What's more serious is that it gives us a short time to shoot them down. After discovering them, it often only takes a few seconds to stop them, otherwise it will hit our warships... The "Shen Luo" was sunk by a suicide fighter jet!"

"Only one?"

"Only one!"

Roosevelt couldn't help but remain silent. Just a suicide attack aircraft could hit and sink a light aircraft carrier.

"But we don't need to worry too much!" Ernest comforted Roosevelt: "The Japanese don't have many planes in the Philippines, and our ground forces are also advancing simultaneously, and they will soon be able to occupy the Japanese airport..."

"I'm not worried about the Philippines!" Roosevelt interrupted Ernest.

“That’s…”

"One day we will attack the Japanese mainland!" Roosevelt replied: "I heard that in Okinawa... the Japanese are already actively organizing suicide fighter jets, and their number may be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the Philippines!"

Ernest nodded: "I heard from General Halsey that they even organized all the civilian planes!"

Roosevelt was silent for a while before saying, "Maybe, that Chinese is right!"

"Mr. President is saying...that Chinese major general?"

"Yes!" said Roosevelt: "Do you remember that he had always opposed the attack on the Philippines and supported the navy's attack from the sea?"

"certainly!"

"Now it seems..." Roosevelt sighed and said, "It really doesn't make much sense to attack the Philippines. I seem to be misleading that guy MacArthur!"

Ernest didn't speak.

"Occupy the Philippines and cut off the Japanese supply line?" Roosevelt pointed to the map and said, "In fact, we can do it by occupying Okinawa. Okinawa and Northeast China can also echo each other, and even cut off the connection between Japan and Taiwan! But now, we allow the Japanese to prepare for suicide attacks on Okinawa!"

"Mr. President!" Ernest interrupted: "Our intelligence shows that... the Japanese are not just suicide fighter jets!"

"What else?" Roosevelt looked at Ernest in confusion. He couldn't think of anything more crazy.

But that's the Japanese, and what else can't be done by the Japanese?

"And...thing is called the 'Sakura Special Attack'!" Ernest replied: "We found that the Japanese are experimenting."

"Is it different from a suicide fighter?" Roosevelt asked.

"Suicide fighter is an aircraft!" Ernest replied: "But the 'Sakura Special Attack Plane' is more like a bomb, or a small glider, which is also operated by personnel... It can be carried and thrown by the mother plane and then glided and then crashed into the target..."

"God!" Roosevelt couldn't help but speechless.

After thinking about it, Roosevelt said, "Kin, I don't think we can give the Japanese enough time to prepare. This will only add more trouble to us in the future. We must launch an attack on Okinawa immediately!"

"But Mr. President...we are still attacking the Philippines!"

"The Japanese navy has basically been wiped out!" Roosevelt said: "Our navy can free up its hands from the Philippine Sea...or in other words, we only need to use a small number of navy to provide support to MacArthur, and the main navy is used to attack Okinawa. On the other hand, we can also use Iwo Jima as a frontier base to attack Okinawa. Once Okinawa is captured, we will establish the Mariana Islands, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and even the island chains of Northeast China, so that the Japanese mainland can be completely cut off from its overseas troops. On the one hand, this will hit the morale and confidence of the Japanese people, and on the other hand... it will cause a fatal blow to Japanese industry!"

Ernest understood what Roosevelt said. Ernest had a relatively detailed understanding of Japan's intelligence. He knew that Japan was a country with very little resources. A considerable part of its local industry was based on foreign resources, such as Taiwan's rubber, coal mines in Northeast China, iron ore, and oil in Southeast Asia.

If the United States can cut off its route, it will cut off the source of raw materials from Japan's local industry. Therefore, even if Japan has many military industries such as shipyards, aircraft factories, tank factories, etc., it will face the problem of "a skillful woman cannot cook without rice".

"But..." Ernest replied: "Mr. President, even if we can put the main force of the navy into the attack on Okinawa, which force should we use to occupy it? Most of our amphibious forces are attacking the Philippines, and the Chinese troops are in Northeast China..."

"Send the Army!" said Roosevelt.

"army?!"

"Yes!" Roosevelt nodded: "The enemy must have never expected that we would launch an attack on Okinawa while attacking the Philippines. Moreover, Okinawa is not a small island. After entering the island, we need an army that is good at land combat even more!"
