Chapter 843: Preparations for Combat Against the United States

Just as the Gulfstream One landed in Chicago, Li Zitao was going to take his two sons to the hotel quietly to celebrate the birthday of Lilith, who was filming here with his mother.

Dozens of young people wearing flight suits, fur hats, and handbags appeared at the airport. They were pilots of the American Army Air Corps.

"Who are they?" Li Zitao stopped and looked at the team with narrowed eyes. If he read correctly, the plane they boarded was a flight to the UK.

"Volunteers...go to the UK to join the battle...Washington government also ordered this." Ava poked her head into his ear and said.

"Volunteer Army..." Hearing these three words, Li Zitao's brain nerves seemed to be touched by a finger, and his eyes lit up.

Flying Tigers!

Chennault should have been in the Far East during this period, how could he have forgotten the foreigner who formed the Flying Tigers!

If I remember correctly, Chennault later came to the United States to recruit pilots, should I contact him to get him to act sooner?

"Dad, Dad... what are you thinking?" Seeing his father standing in front of the car with flickering eyes, Aiden pushed him anxiously.

"Sorry...we're leaving now." Li Zitao came back to his senses, kept this matter in his heart, got in the car and drove to the hotel.

When I saw Lilith, she was swimming in the hotel pool with her nanny.

Although the little girl is not very old, she is not too young for swimming. The treatment that Aiden and Mason have had since childhood is also a lot with her.

The only difference is the time spent with his father. Li Zitao spends more time in New York with his wife and son.

It was because of him that Mary accepted Lilith better and prepared a birthday present for her.

"Hi... Lilith." Seeing Lilith swimming happily in the water with her head above the water, Aiden by the pool jumped up and waved her hands.

"Hey~~" Lilith waved her hand, and the water splashed down, reflecting her beautiful face and beautiful eyes.

At such a young age, I can already see that Lilith is a beauty, and I don't know which brat will be cheaper in the future.

Regarding his daughter's marriage, Li Zitao is very open minded. In the future, he only needs to find someone who can treat her well in the future, and there are no other requirements.

Perhaps Li Zitao made such a decision because Lilith would not have access to the core of the family.

And Aiden and Mason will inherit the family, although it will bring them endless glory and wealth, but they also have to bear more responsibilities and pressure than other brothers and sisters.

Between the two, Li Zitao is more optimistic about Mason, who is smart, calm, and meticulous, and is more focused and serious in doing things, and can detect details that ordinary people don't care about.

But it’s still too early to discuss these things. The two little guys are not yet 10 years old. No one can draw conclusions lightly on what will happen when they grow up. Let time judge!

…………

London, England.

Pilots from New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Jamaica, and the United States joined the war effort.

Many governments-in-exile that were occupied by the German NC, including Poland, Belgium, Czech Republic, France and other air forces that had evacuated to the UK also joined the ranks of encircling the UK.

Above the sky, the German fighter planes are still raging. Although the Allied forces have received a lot of support, they are still at a disadvantage in the war.

This is mainly because the main battlefield is over the British mainland. No matter who wins or loses, the losses caused will be borne by the British themselves.

Unless the British army can stop the enemy beyond the English Channel, even if the enemy plane is shot down, it will be British property that will be destroyed on the ground.

So far, at least one-eighth of London has been destroyed by German bombing.

Moreover, Germany also has its own allies, and Italy, which is also an Axis power, also sent an "Air Force Corps" to assist the German army in launching an attack on Britain.

Of course, when they heard the news, the British army rejoiced all over the country, and held a small reception with the only wine they had to celebrate.

With the help of "ally" Italy,

I believe that the balance of war will be more and more inclined to the Allies, and victory will eventually belong to Britain.

As for what the Germans think, that is not their concern.

In fact, compared with the performance of the navy and army, the performance of the Italian air force is still good, with frequent dispatches but ineffectiveness, but it did not drag teammates back.

Especially on the East African battlefield, the Royal Italian Air Force also created a record of flying a biplane CR-42 fighter jet to shoot down the British "Hurricane".

This news was strictly blocked by the British military. Now that the UK is suffering the most difficult time since its establishment, any news that may have a negative impact should be avoided.

People need hope, and governments need people's confidence and desire to win. Only in this way can they tide over the difficulties.

Internationally, there are frequent reports that the United States is staying out of the war and still not getting involved in the war.

Especially under the guidance of Churchill's remarks that "if the United States supports us, this war will be won", the pressure on the United States is getting heavier.

In Washington, Roosevelt once again summoned his senior staff and generals, and said in a solemn tone: "Gentlemen, do we have to continue to wait? The United States still pretends that the war is only a matter of Europeans and has nothing to do with the United States." ?”

"Actually, Mr. President, it is like this." A senior staff officer said

"Mr. President, we don't need to pay for the wars of other countries, let alone let Americans work for other countries."

The resistance was greater than Roosevelt had imagined, and almost everyone was opposed to joining the war, which made him powerless and had to turn his attention to Marshall.

"Ahem, actually, gentlemen and generals, I have to remind everyone that according to the current situation, it will be sooner or later for the United States to join the war..."

"Mr. Chief of Staff, I don't think your judgment is correct. We and Japan are reaching a settlement on the Pacific issue.

And their oil supply is in our hands, Japan must ensure the interests of the United States in East Asia, otherwise their warships, planes and tanks can only be reduced to scrap iron. A four-star general stood up and retorted.

In the government, Marshall did not promise everything, just as Roosevelt could not do the same. The flames of war did not burn here, and the Americans did not feel the pain personally. They will never give up their luck for "peace".

In the base camp of Japan, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Yamamoto Fifty-Six, decided to launch the Pacific War under the huge pressure of the local right-wing forces and the pressure of the Japanese high-level.

And in an attempt to preemptively attack the US Pacific Fleet before the war against the United States, but before that, both the navy and the air force must receive strict targeted training, and strive to completely wipe out the important US combat power in the next sneak attack.
