Chapter 933: Eisenhower Comes

early September.

It is autumn at this time, the temperature difference between day and night is increasing, and the clothes of people on the streets have become strange.

There are young people in short shirts, middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes, and women with shirt skirts and trench coats.

Getting up from the 3-meter-wide velvet bed, Li Zitao pressed the button on the wall, and the curtains slowly opened.

The principle of electric curtains is very simple. In order to reduce noise, the motor is installed outside the wall and covered with partitions, which perfectly solves this problem.

At the same time as the button was pressed, a bell rang in the kitchen downstairs, proving that the master was up.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, but without the slightest warmth, the lazy and comfortable weather makes people just want to relax.

"Boss." It wasn't Farandi or Dan who entered the room first, but his secretary, Tia.

"What's the matter?" Li Zitao asked while sitting on the rocking chair.

"General Eisenhower is here." Tia stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

Although the hostess was not there and there were only the two of them in the room, she still reacted instinctively.

"En?" He snorted in surprise, Li Zitao got up and said, "Please invite him to the dining room and prepare a breakfast for him."

Seeing Tia back out, Li Zitao walked out of the room in his pajamas.

Walking along the corridor to the temperature-controlled wine cellar, he personally selected a bottle of top-quality red wine before taking the elevator to the restaurant.

In the dining room, Eisenhower was looking at the paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.

One is Picasso's "Guernica", which describes the FXS bombing of Guernica, an important Basque town in northern Spain.

Paintings of the massacre of innocents during this period have received much publicity and praise since their inception.

However, its loan and exhibition only lasted for half a year, and then it mysteriously disappeared.

From Picasso's mouth, I learned that this painting has been photographed by a mysterious buyer and stored in the other's home.

"So you are the mysterious buyer." Upon discovering Li Zitao's arrival, Eisenhao, who was admiring the painting, smiled and pointed at him.

"It's no longer a secret." Li Zitao spread his hands helplessly.

"I won't say it, let them guess." Eisenhower is not interested in promoting this kind of thing.

He came to Li Zitao today because he had something serious to discuss.

"Come on." A sumptuous breakfast was placed on the table, and Li Zitao took the lead in raising his glass to Eisenhower.

As a master, he should show grace.

As a friend, he was also very grateful to Eisenhower for his initial help.

If it weren't for his initial support, S.H.I.E.L.D. would never exist, let alone develop to the scale it is today.

"Cheers." Feeling his sincerity, Eisenhower's smile became brighter.

Putting down his wine glass, Li Zitao sandwiched the candied egg on the bread and said while smearing jam, "I thought you were going to disappear forever, but I didn't expect to see you again..."

"You are already a general." Li Zitao pointed to his epaulettes.

"My friend, stop joking, is there any news that can escape your ears?" Eisenhower laughed and pointed at him.

"Congratulations, your command in the North African battlefield is really wonderful." Li Zitao did not deny his words.

In fact, he knew more about Eisenhower's promotion path than anyone else.

In front of Marshall, he also spoke good words for Eisenhower, and he was not sure whether it had any effect.

After all, Li Zitao didn't remember clearly about his promotion time and route.

Just knowing that he finally commanded the Normandy landing and was successfully promoted to a five-star general made him remembered by the world.

"How is the battle on the front line?" Li Zitao asked casually.

"We are winning..." The smile on Eisenhower's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "But we also paid a huge price."

"Every day, someone falls down, and someone fills in again, and again, and again."

The cruelty of war can never be experienced by imagination. Only those who have experienced it can understand how precious peace is.

Since World War II, Eisenhower has sent away many unknown soldiers, as well as his former officers, comrades-in-arms and subordinates.

The people around me changed batch after batch, and those who were able to go home safely seemed to have serious injuries or disabilities.

"At least we have seen the hope of victory...the evil FXS will eventually pay the price." Li Zitao said with a toast.

"Yes, we will beat them, just like we did before." Eisenhower raised his voice firmly.

The boring topic made the breakfast time a bit long, and Li Zitao had to change the topic to his reason for coming.

"I think the front line needs you very much, so what brought you here, my friend." Putting down the fork, Li Zitao looked at him with a shake of his wine glass.

"Landing in France." Eisenhower lowered his voice and said, "It's about to start."

"This should be the top secret of the military department, you shouldn't tell me." Li Zitao moved his body back very cautiously.

After straightening his waist, he said to the outside: "Dan, don't let anyone disturb us."

There was a sound of brisk and orderly footsteps outside the door, proving that the servants outside were leaving, and Li Zitao signaled him to continue.

"My friend, as you said, this is the top federal secret, and you don't want to know about the specific time."

"Of course." Li Zitao said as it should.

What is involved here is the largest amphibious landing battle in the history of the world, and it is also the key point for the reversal of the situation in World War II.

Whether it can successfully open up a second battlefield, reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union, and plunge Germany into a two-front war is related to the future of the world.

Li Zitao didn't want to know such details, and if there was a small problem, he would be suspected.

Although it is unlikely that the arrest and imprisonment will happen again, it will also cause a lot of trouble. One thing more is worse than one thing less.

Fighting wars is not his specialty, so it's better to let professional people care about it.

"I knew that your character of being afraid of trouble will never change." Hearing his answer, Eisenhower smiled very happily.

He kept his troubles at arm's length, as before.

"But there's one thing you need to know," Eisenhower said sternly, "We need more air support."

"Of course, there are also landing ships and tanks." He didn't come this time to reminisce.

As the default commander-in-chief, Eisenhower has been making complete preparations for it since he got the news.

Soldiers, he has countless good hands.

But when it comes to weapons and military supplies, it is not his strong point.

The Confederate States approved sufficient munitions, arms, and funds for the operation.

But in Eisenhower's view it wasn't enough.

He needs to be more fully prepared to meet his war, only winning and never losing.

This is the need of the Confederate States and the people, it is also his promise, and it is for the peace of all mankind.
