Churchill immediately got in touch with Roosevelt.

"I think we were wrong!" Churchill said: "The new weapon of the Germans is not a gas bomb!" ”

Roosevelt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but Churchill's subsequent words lifted his newly relieved heart again.

"But I think this new weapon may be more terrible than gas bombs!" Churchill said: "Because last night ...... It was already launched from Sicily, and then destroyed one of our radar stations! ”

For this reason, Churchill flew to Washington to meet Roosevelt again.

Churchill put all the information and analysis in front of Roosevelt, and then said: "Your Excellency, I have to admit that we are facing a crisis!" The Germans had a weapon with a range of two hundred kilometers or more, and even more terrifying was accuracy...... That means all of our gear will be eclipsed in front of it! ”

Roosevelt, of course, knew what that meant, two hundred kilometers...... This is almost outside the strike range of all the Allied equipment, although it may not be able to hit the fighters, but it may force the warships to not get close, and the tanks, artillery, etc. must also be 200 kilometers away, then the battle cannot be continued at all.

"Are we thinking about this equipment too horrible!" Roosevelt said, "It probably doesn't hit as high as we think!" ”

But Roosevelt had no confidence when he said this, because the United States often used shell stacks when fighting wars, and Roosevelt certainly knew it...... If the Germans can mass-produce this equipment, they can also make up for the problem of hit rate with quantity.

"On the other hand!" Roosevelt said: "According to the information you have provided, the speed of this flying bomb is not much different from that of a Spitfire......

"Judging by the data tracked by the radar, it is 630 kilometers per hour!"

"If a plane can shoot down, then this kind of flying machine will definitely be able to shoot down too!" Roosevelt said.

Churchill couldn't help but calm down, and replied: "Yes, the commandos I sent have shot it down!" ”

After a pause, Churchill continued: "But in any case, we should be cautious, because it is foreseeable that the Germans will launch a counteroffensive in North Africa when they have this equipment. Moreover...... If they deploy this equipment in France, our landing will likely be completely defeated! ”

Roosevelt couldn't help but nod when he heard this, Churchill did have a point, if he shifted the strategic focus to land in northern France, it was very likely that he would suffer a worse defeat than the landing in Sicily, because the warships and transport ships would be sunk before they could reach the shore.

"So!" Churchill concluded: "The best way for us to do this is to continue to fight the Germans in North Africa, seek to break through the Gabes line and capture the whole of North Africa, and then we will consider shifting our strategic focus when we have a thorough understanding of the performance of this new equipment or a solution to it!" ”

Roosevelt could hear another meaning of Churchill's words...... Don't mess with the Germans and let them use the new equipment on the Soviets, so that Britain and the United States can figure out the performance of this equipment.

Roosevelt, of course, had no objection to this, because it would only be good for the United States and not bad.

In addition, Roosevelt was considering another problem: Chief of Staff Marshall had recently mentioned a "Manhattan Plan" which, if successful, would allow the United States to destroy Germany without much effort.

In this case, it is also beneficial for the United States to drag on the time that drags on.

So the matter was settled, and the Allies continued to bomb and attack on the Gabès Line.

On Stalin's side, an explanation can be given: the failure of the landing operation in Sicily proved that the amphibious landing was very dangerous, and that the Allies had suffered huge losses even though they had air and sea supremacy and outnumbered the enemy, and that if a larger-scale landing operation were rashly launched in France, the Allies might be wounded and beneficial to the enemy.

Stalin had no experience in this area, and the Allied losses in Sicily were indeed true, so there was nothing to do with Britain and the United States.

In fact, even if Britain and the United States did not make excuses, Stalin could not do anything about them, who let Germany now attack the Soviet Union and force the Soviet Union to ask for help.

Seeking help between countries cannot be justified by the words "international morality", and no one will provide free assistance or cooperation without interests.

Qin Chuan on the other side is recuperating in Sicily.

The medical staff had to clean Qin Chuan's wounds at least twice a day...... Once in the morning, once in the evening, and there are a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, almost all of which can be eaten as a meal.

But Qin Chuan can understand the practice of the medical soldiers, it can be said that there is no anti-inflammatory drug in this era, although penicillin has been invented, but it cannot be mass-produced (note: the United States began mass production in 1942), so the price is compared to gold, and the wounded soldiers in the army are obviously unaffordable.

It is said that Hitler was able to survive when he was assassinated because of the introduction of penicillin from a third country.

On the other hand, this is Sicily.

Sicily's warm and humid climate can easily lead to bacterial growth, so some of the wounded, although they did not have serious injuries, died from subsequent wound infections.

Qin Chuan's injuries recovered well, mainly due to the special care of Qin Chuan by the medical staff...... The bandage is washed separately and boiled with water to kill the virus and then dried (if it is dried, it is inevitable that mosquitoes and flies will lay eggs in it or be infected with other bacteria), and the potion to clean the wound is freshly opened every time, and it is used separately for Qin Chuan. The ward is also a single room, and a handful is arranged.

"Captain!" On this day, Rommel walked into Qin Chuan's ward with the guards.

"General!" Qin Chuan hurriedly stood up.

"How's the injury?" Rommel asked.

"It's almost good!" Qin Chuan replied: "Thank you, General, I mean...... For these arrangements for me! ”

Rommel personally confessed everything about recuperating from his wounds, and other officers and soldiers would certainly not have such treatment if they were wounded.

"Not worth mentioning!" Rommel replied: "These are all as they should be, and if it weren't for the need for you here, I would have let you go home and recuperate for a while!" ”

"Yes, General!" What Qin Chuan thought in his heart was that even if he let him go home, he wouldn't know where to go.

"One good news, one bad news!" Rommel said: "One is that the enemy is attacking the Gabès line again!" ”

This was indeed good news, because it meant that the Allies were being dragged in North Africa.

"Where's the bad news?" Qin Chuan asked.

"We lost the battle in Moscow!" Rommel said.
