Chapter 504: Churchill's Fury Roared Like Thunder
"Hmmm! The situation on the Eastern Front was also known from our intelligence service, and now the Germans have successfully occupied the entire Dnieper region, and have also severely damaged the Soviet Southwestern Front, as well as many Soviet tank corps. β
"According to the report of our intelligence service, in this fierce battle of the Dnieper River, the Soviet casualties were at least 800,000; In addition, no less than 1,000 tanks were destroyed, and no less than 800 tank casualties were lost; As for the number of aircraft is not less than 1500 and the pilots are not less than 900! β
War Minister Stimson also sighed, and his face became more and more solemn.
"No wonder Stalin called me so nervously in the middle of the night, it turned out that his casualties were so heavy, it seems that this time his troops were wounded by Hitler's German troops!"
President Roosevelt's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he tried to overcome the shock in his heart, and said calmly.
"Then do we now want to provide Stalin with military material support and a large amount of investment in weapons and equipment?"
After saying that, after the two of them were silent for a while, War Secretary Stimson went straight to the point.
"Yes! If our ministry supports them, who will be able to support them in continuing their fight against Hitler? Britain is now reading on its own, and they have no other way but us! β
"And we now need Stalin and his Soviet army to fight Hitler's forces, and consume a lot of the German army, so that we can draw a large number of troops to open a second battlefield in the European theater, invade Germany proper, and attack Berlin ourselves; and the dispatch of surplus troops to counter the Japanese invasion in the Pacific! β
Roosevelt nodded insistently.
"Okay! I see, President Roosevelt! β
War Secretary Stimson nodded lightly.
After that, the two of them continued to discuss the progress of the development and production of the atomic bomb and the situation of other troops.
At this time in Italy, Rommel was still in his own military camp watching the rigorous training of his troops.
Looking, watching, his mind unconsciously drifted to the situation of his own battle and life on the soil of North Africa a few years ago.
During those two years of fierce desert fighting, he fought with all his might against the British army under Montgomery's command; But because of the supply problem, and the strength of the troops, as well as the problems of weapons and equipment, in the end, it was he and his troops who gave Montgomery's army; With the strong air supremacy of the U.S. military, it was defeated and eliminated from the North African battlefield.
At the same time, he finally defeated and shattered the reputation he had established as the Desert Fox.
Thus Montgomery rode on his head, and his prestige spread all over the world.
"Montgomery! And Hewitt, Patton, you Yankees! Wait for me, I'll be on the battlefield in North Africa soon, and let you try what it's like to make a strong comeback! β
"This time the North African counterattack is definitely a victory for me! I'm not going to lose to you guys again! Otherwise, I'm sorry for giving me so many weapons and equipment, and the FΓΌhrer who came to support me in battle, and my wife Lucy, who was silently supporting me behind me! β
After thinking for a moment, Rommel suddenly looked at him with a sense of war, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Then he silently walked over to his troops, intending to personally supervise their more rigorous training.
For Rommel at this moment, he was eager to immediately lead a large army to attack North Africa, defeat Montgomery and Patton's forces in one fell swoop, achieve a brilliant victory, seize the whole of North Africa, shock the world, revive the reputation he had lost, and go to the next level.
And at this moment, in London, England, at Churchill's Prime Minister's residence, Churchill's angry roar resounded throughout the mansion.
"Rommel! Rommel! Rommel! Why do you always come to North Africa! It seems that our department got rid of you, and it is an absolutely honorable way to make North Africa peaceful for a moment! β
"And Guderian! Do you really want to get involved in the Middle East and compete with our British Empire for oil resources? Since you want to die so much, then I will fulfill you! β
"Guderian! Rommel! I'm going to get rid of you two in the eye! β
In response to Churchill's thunderous roar, the high-ranking officers of the land, sea and air who had been summoned by him to his mansion and stood in his room stood in horror, covered in cold sweat and silent.
