If Churchill falls at this time, then the new British Prime Minister will most likely accept humiliating peace between the Germans!

This is what the United States does not want to see! The United States hopes that Germany will provoke a war and crush Britain's hegemony, but it does not want to see Germany rise and unite Europe and fight against the United States!

To put it bluntly, the United States hopes that Germany and Britain will continue to fight endlessly, and the best result will be until the two countries collapse together. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sadly, however, Germany was so good in the early stages of the war that it was on the verge of defeating Britain and ending its domination of Europe.

Of course, the United States cannot sit idly by, and it is now desperately trying to aid Britain in order to prolong the war as long as possible.

So, for the United States, to continue Churchill's political life is to continue this war. Supporting Churchill to continue fighting is the common goal of the United States.

In this way, American arms dealers can make a fortune through the war, American interests will continue to expand through the Lend-Lease Act, and the world's major powers will be weakened by the war.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have no right to agree to these terms of your order." Looking at the list of supplies in his hand, the American envoy smiled and put the list back on Churchill's desk.

With a smile on his face, he looked at Churchill and said: "As a special envoy, I have only one mission to find you, we have discovered the German oil fields in Libya, and we hope to assist Britain in destroying this potential hidden danger!" ”

Hearing that the Americans had found the mysterious Libyan oil fields, Churchill's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Where?" How is the United States going to assist us in destroying this damn oil field? ”

Without thinking about it, the American envoy said: "The best plan is for us the United States to provide a batch of bombers to the British, and then take off from Crete to bomb the Libyan oil fields and destroy the equipment there!" ”

After the reconnaissance team brought back the intelligence on the location of the Libyan oil fields, the US military and President Roosevelt were thinking about what kind of method to use to destroy this "unplanned variable"!

As long as this oil field is eliminated, everything seems to be able to return to normal, and the United States can control the rhythm of the war and pinch the shortcomings of Germany's resources.

Therefore, Roosevelt and his generals drew up a relatively complete set of battle plans! This battle plan was to send a group of bombers to Crete in the name of assistance.

The United States does not have many existing B-17 bombers, but it is definitely capable of carrying out such long-range bombing missions.

Crete is close enough to Libya that B-17 bombers, with their ultra-high range, can fly over their targets.

As long as the British side is willing to carry out this plan, then the American side will be completely sure that the German oil fields in Libya will be destroyed.

"We will pass the Lend-Lease Act and hand over 100 B-17 bombers to the UK!" The American envoy spoke: "These planes must be put into special combat operations in Crete!" ”

Churchill was pleased to hear that the United States was willing to provide 100 long-range bombers. However, when he heard that the bombers had to be used for combat operations in the Mediterranean, he was a little dissatisfied.

Although Churchill also hoped that the Germans could destroy the oil fields, the incident was entirely dominated by the Americans, which made the British prime minister a little uncomfortable.

"Okay!" Churchill was a politician after all, and after a brief period of dissatisfaction, he adjusted his mood and gave the promises that the Americans wanted.

After all, the interests of both sides are identical, and both countries believe that it is urgent to attack the German oil fields.

Although in Romania, there is a much larger oil field in operation. But the defense there is definitely much stronger than the oil fields in the desert, and the troops needed to attack there are even more.

"We will find a way to deploy some fighters on Crete to cover the movement of these bombers as much as possible!" Now that he had decided to stab the German fuel supply in Libya, Churchill showed his ruthless side.

As a powerful politician who later delivered the Iron Curtain Speech, Churchill certainly had a strong sense of the big picture, and he was very, very strong.

Having made the decision to attack, he intended to do everything in his power to leave the Germans with a wound that would never heal.

"That's great! Mr. Prime Minister! We will do our best to assist you and support you in your war against aggression! The U.S. envoy got the promise he wanted, and naturally smiled more.

While he was still talking, an officer knocked on Churchill's office door: "Mr. Prime Minister! Once again, German bombers invaded the airspace, and dive bombers blew up several radars on the coastline, as well as a number of false targets. ”

Because Germany had previously suffered losses in the bombing of Britain, the Luftwaffe's retaliatory actions have become more and more fierce recently.

More than 30 German planes were shot down every day, but the bombing never stopped. Hundreds of German planes often flew over Britain like locusts, dropping out their bombs and flying away.

General Dowding's fighter force has always been preserving its strength, ignoring this tactic of luring the enemy. Although the cost of bombing the homeland was high, it continued the slight morale boost that followed the victory in the air war.

Churchill smiled embarrassedly at the American envoy, then took the damage report, and after looking at it twice, the expression on his face became unhappy.

Once again, two radar stations were patronized by German bombers, and 4 antennas alone were destroyed. Six coastal observers were killed, and there were 100 casualties on the coastal defense line, and the losses were considerable.

"Mr. Prime Minister! Then I won't bother with your work for now! The American envoy, seeing that Churchill had agreed to his plan, got up and took his leave.

To tell the truth, when he walked along the way, he saw London like ruins, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little desolate.

The United States supports such a war, but Britain may not be able to win such a war. Under such a strong attack by the Luftwaffe, it would not be a surprise for Britain to surrender at any time.

The air raids had destroyed most of London, and in fact most of Britain's industry had been paralyzed -- and if it had not been for the support of overseas colonies and the United States, Britain would have actually lost the ability to fight war.

Seeing that the American envoy got up, Churchill did not hold back, and he now had too many things to arrange, such as the plan for the retreat in the Balkans that he had just promised to Admiral Diere, and it was now necessary to make appropriate changes.

When Admiral Dill was summoned to the Prime Minister's residence, he still had a puzzled look on his face. Before he could deploy the Balkan retreat plan, he was called back to the office by the prime minister.

As soon as the Prime Minister met, he repudiated his own previous promises and ordered: "The retreat from the Balkans should be postponed ......"

"Postponement?" Hearing the Prime Minister say this, Admiral Deere realized that the Prime Minister had just met with someone who had made him change his decision on the Balkan side.

"We found the oil fields of the Germans in Libya!" Churchill opened his mouth and said to his chief of the General Staff.

Although the shadow spies of the Germans seemed to be ubiquitous, Churchill trusted his senior generals. If the generals of a country cannot even be trusted with the chief of the general staff, how can the war continue?

Hearing about the Libyan oil fields, Dill was surprised for a moment, and then he understood and said: "You mean to keep the airport on Crete?" ”

The battle in the Balkans, if it was a stubborn defense without a strategic goal, would be meaningless and a waste of resources in the eyes of Dill and the army generals.

But if there is a strategic goal, and this strategic goal happens to be the weakest weakness of the Germans, then defending the Balkans is another matter.

"Is it enough to ensure the safety of Crete?" After thinking about it and weighing it for a moment, Admiral Dill opened his mouth and asked Churchill.

Churchill shook his head: "We have to make sure that Crete is not only in our hands, but also that it will not be bombed and interfered with by the Germans." ”

Deere frowned for a moment, and then immediately relieved - the bombing of the Libyan oil fields was obviously not a task that would be successful in one or two bombings, and it was obvious that such bombing would be long-term.

So, the bomber will stay on Crete for a while, and the longer the better, of course. Now Churchill would rather give up tens of thousands of troops in the army than deal a devastating blow to the German oil fields in Libya.

It's just that Admiral Dill doesn't know whether the losses of these troops in Greece are worth it or not. He also didn't know how long the Balkans would be able to hold out with these troops.

In Admiral Diere's opinion, even if one man did not retreat from the Balkans, his soldiers would be able to hold off the Germans for a month or so at most.

And such a block is almost self-destructive. A month later, or even shorter, Crete would still be under the threat of an attack by the Germans.

"We will do our best to stop the Germans from moving south, but Mr. Prime Minister, there is a lack of ammunition at the front, and the Balkan troops will not hold out for much longer." Dill spoke.

"The Germans are expanding their air force and tank forces, and the navy is also a big eater! Without the follow-up support from the Libyan oil fields, in three months they themselves will collapse! Churchill spoke his own judgment.

Although the Germans caught 90 percent of the British spies, there were still some unknown fish that escaped the purge.

The reports sent back by these spies were sloppy and superficial, but information such as the expansion of the German army was still easy to obtain and corroborate.

"So! I tried my best to reduce the size of the retreat to 10,000 people. Admiral Dill thought for a moment and said to Churchill.
