Chapter 726 Churchill's Secret Travel
The airlines affiliated to Hughes have already taken over the route business from the United States to the United Kingdom. The large four-engine Atlantic passenger plane can only be owned by Hughes Airlines. Other companies have ordered them for several years.
The ticket price of this kind of passenger plane is high, and only business people can afford it, and in the special VIP cabin in front of the passenger plane, it is even more exclusive to local tyrants.
And now, the entire VIP cabin has been packaged, and the passengers inside are absolutely mysterious guests.
The chubby Churchill, looking out the window, was silently fascinated, just as Britain was about to be invaded by Germany, he still did not give up his efforts.
Britain will not fail, this is Churchill's belief, and Churchill has indeed done a lot of meaningful things.
For example, overcoming all opinions, pulling in the Soviet Union and letting the Germans fight on two fronts, unfortunately, because of the sudden appearance of the Soviet-Finnish war, this plan cannot be carried out for the time being.
For example, after unremitting efforts, the vegetative Goering was awakened, and he wanted to wake up Goering and put the German high-level into a state of chaos, thereby delaying the opponent's actions and buying time for himself.
However, Goering was sober and seized power, but then he entered a mental hospital and is said to be actively cooperating with the treatment.
Even if Goering was finally discharged, who would dare to follow him?
These plans have all gone bankrupt.
Frontal resistance, Churchill has been doing, such as constantly recruiting reserves into active duty, and constantly forming new troops.
For example, shipyards are rapidly rushing to build new warships, and various military industries are now at full capacity, making all kinds of weapons.
However, Churchill knew that these were not enough.
Aside from the specific tactics, from a strategic point of view, after Cyric conquered Europe, Germany has achieved rapid development, while the United Kingdom is alone, even if it has the natural barrier of the English Channel, it is absolutely not enough.
Britain, lacking allies. There is no ally who can provide the necessary support to the UK, and this ally, looking at the world, can only be the United States!
Only the United States can support Britain and win this war!
No matter how firm Churchill's beliefs were, and no matter how hard Churchill's efforts were, once the Germans landed in England, all this would be in vain.
As long as Germany landed, it would be a matter of time before they would occupy the United Kingdom with the powerful advance speed of their mechanized troops.
So, Churchill had to make a new choice. He came to America in secret and asked for help.
The Germans, relying on their interests, won over American businessmen, but why not themselves?
With the launch of the passenger plane, the voyage of the Atlantic Ocean, which would have taken half a month, was shortened to one day.
Even on a luxurious passenger plane, at this time, the hum of the engine outside still came from the cabin, which made people feel harsh. Churchill was always in a hazy state, wanting to sleep but unable to sleep.
When I was finally confused, there was a bumpy sound from the plane, and the beautiful stewardess said in a soft voice: "Everyone, we have landed at the District of Columbia Airport, and the end of our journey has arrived. I wish you a pleasant trip."
has arrived? Churchill rubbed his eyes and saw that the few people he was accompanying were all ready to get off the plane, so he put on his top hat, held a civilized stick in his hand, and walked towards the exit.
At this time, it was already dark outside.
Several personnel from the British embassy, after getting the news, just arrived at the airport when they saw the plane landing, and they greeted Churchill and his party.
After getting into the car, Churchill looked at Ambassador Midile: "How is it? Have you notified the United States?"
"Yes, President Roosevelt is waiting for you in the White House. Let's go directly to the White House."
Churchill's secret trip this time, and even the United States was not notified until now, is for confidentiality. The German intelligence agencies are too powerful. If they knew that Churchill came out secretly and was on a civil airliner, they would send fighter jets. Shoot down the airliner and kill Churchill.
Churchill was not afraid of death, but he knew that if he died, even the main war faction in the UK would lose the courage to fight.
Churchill can't die, nothing can happen, what's more, this meeting in the United States is highly confidential.
In the history of World War II, the support of the United States to the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union was crucial to winning World War II. It can be said that without continuous material support from the United States, it is hard to say who will win the war in the end. .
But it would be a big mistake to think that Britain and the United States are inseparable.
After the armistice of the First World War in 1918, isolationism in the United States continued to grow. The representative action was to refuse to join the League of Nations and strictly restrict foreign immigration.
After the armistice until the 1920s, the United Kingdom owed $9 billion in debt to the United States due to the United States' involvement in World War I, and the anti-British sentiment in the United States, which was inherited from the 19th century, reached a point where it was almost out of control.
Otherwise, why did Roosevelt secretly give British support, why would it cause such a strong response in the country? In addition to Germany's provocation, the dissatisfaction of the Americans with the United Kingdom also accounts for a large part of it.
Moreover, the United States is not as good to the United Kingdom as an ally, and even the United States has a huge red war plan.
The plan was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1927, approved by the U.S. Secretary of War and U.S. Navy in 1930, and revised between 1934 and 1935.
The main strategy of this plan is to eliminate the British Army forces in Canada and the North Atlantic, and then destroy the British trade capacity, so that the United Kingdom will be completely surrendered to the United States.
At the same time, the US military will advance to the Caribbean Sea and the West Coast, preventing the United Kingdom from launching retaliation against the United States from Europe, India or Australia.
It can be seen that during the period from World War I to World War II, trust between countries did not exist at all, and any country must first serve its own interests.
For the United States, they are always dreaming of unifying the Americas, and they have made actions to expand northward. What is the result? Being humiliated to the capital, Canadian and British troops, and even setting the White House on fire, is the most humiliating page in American history.
Roosevelt, however, disagreed with the plan, especially now.
In the process of Churchill's arrival by plane, Roosevelt was taking his own think tanks to veto the plan proposed by the Army.
Some officers of the army are already in high spirits, and now, it is the best time to implement the red plan!
