Chapter 770

When escaping, in order to maintain the dignity of the British soldiers, Wavell and others did not change into civilian clothes. If they were captured by the enemy, it would be an absolute shame to not wear military uniforms.

Therefore, his body is still in the straight military uniform, which is also the reason why he was discovered by the seaplane in the sky.

The rubber boat is not big, and the target at sea is very small. Most of them are huddled in the rubber boat. If it is the other side's warship, it will not be very clear, but in the sky, it is absolutely clear. .

When the German plane in the sky swooped down, everyone screamed badly and quickly lowered their heads. However, the German plane was too accurate!

The bullet swept across the sea, splashing water, and then it swept onto the rubber boat, one hole after another, and the rubber boat leaked.

At the same time, the bullet stayed on the rubber boat for a while, and along with the screams, one by one blood flowers were stained on the leaking rubber boat.

Several people, all shot.

The plane above his head flew away, Wavell used his one eye to look at the sky for the last time, his breathing gradually became slow, and finally stopped.

Wavell died, the soldier who fought his whole life for Britain, eventually died at the hands of the enemy.

For a soldier, perhaps, this is the best home.

Wavell was dead, Cunningham was dead, and the chief general of the British colonies in the Middle East was killed by a seaplane.

It is a pity that the pilot of the seaplane who did this major event did not receive any due reward. He was in a hurry to carry out the transportation task, and even this attack, he did not report it to his superiors, in his eyes , it's just an inconspicuous little thing.

As a result, the death of Wavell, the commander of the British Middle East, has become a mystery. No one knows how he died or where he died. Numerous historical experts have verified it, but it has finally come to nothing.

Tobrugg entered the German pocket, and at the same time, a door opened in front of Rommel. In front of him, there was no longer the main British force, and it was already a smooth ride. It seemed that he only needed a week. Rush to the Suez Canal!

The news of Tobrugg's fall quickly reached London, at which time Churchill was in trouble for the demands of the United States.

"Prime Minister Churchill, now, President Roosevelt is very embarrassed. In order to convince Congress, President Roosevelt made a commitment to find a large amount of funds for the United Kingdom, which must be implemented immediately." Roosevelt personally appointed official envoy, presidential assistant Laughlin-Ju , came to London, and made a statement to Churchill in person.

Roosevelt is persuading Congress to pass the Lend-Lease Act. Once this Act is implemented, the weapons and equipment, food and various raw materials that Britain desperately needs to continue fighting will be supplied in large quantities.

The United States has even made preparations to provide the warships retired by the United States Navy to the United Kingdom. Once the British Navy is re-armed, it will have the ability to continue to fight against Germany!

So, Churchill was quite excited when he first heard about the Lend-Lease Act, and the United States has finally begun to reach out to help the United Kingdom! The last time I went to the United States was really meaningful!

But then, Churchill was not happy.

Selling Canada to the United States is a secret agreement, and it cannot even be brought to Congress. It is unclear how Canada will react once the news leaks.

So why does the US help the UK?

To rent things, you have to have a deposit. Now, the United States needs a British registration certificate!

Churchill looked at Laughlin's long list, and had an inexplicable feeling that all British companies in the United States would be sold to the United States at the lowest price.

I really underestimated Roosevelt. In terms of military, I dismissed Roosevelt's idea of ​​​​invading Canada, but in terms of economy, the American ambitions have never been given up.

In 33 years, after the London meeting broke up, the United Kingdom and the United States went their separate ways in the economic field. Relying on a large number of colonies, all sterling was circulated, and the currency of the United Kingdom was still the world currency.

The United States, on the other hand, wants to deal a heavy blow to the United Kingdom in terms of economy. If these companies are sold to the United States, what else can the United Kingdom have?

After this war, the rise of the United States is inevitable, but the decline of Britain is inevitable.

But does the UK have an option?

"The acquisition here should be done before the next parliamentary resolution as much as possible." Crowlin continued: "You know, we are a democratic country, and President Roosevelt does not have much power, and it must be approved by the parliament. If these agreements can be If it is reached, there should be no problem with the Parliament passing the Lend-Lease Act.”

Every time a company is sold, one more member of Congress will approve the Lend-Lease Act. It is absolutely not exaggerated to say that there is no benefit. Will American capitalists agree?

You must know that the Germans spent a lot of money to keep the United States isolated. Now, it is not so easy for Roosevelt to change.

"Moreover, we have to guard against the Germans' sabotage of our agreement. After all, the Germans can still influence the decisions of many of our enterprises." Crowlin continued to add.

Beware of the Germans! After all, Churchill knew the inside story. Once the Germans debunked the trick of the attack on the American mainland, maybe Churchill became a street rat instead.

He had no possibility of refusing at all, and he had no time to refuse.

"Okay, tell President Roosevelt, we British gentlemen, will not let America down," Churchill said. "Give us a day."

After seeing off Crawlin, Churchill's face showed exhaustion. He looked at the assistant beside him and said, "Please call Sir Cote Oz."

At this moment, Churchill seemed ten years older.

If it is said that in this era, the most popular thing on women is not the dazzling diamonds, nor the hat with feathers, but the thin stockings!

On the high heels, the pair of thighs with stockings is the most attractive, whether it is beautiful or not, look at the thighs.

In the 1920s, American women's skirts became shorter, and they began to wear stockings in order to cover their bare legs. These socks are thin and made of silk or rayon.

It can be seen that the cost of this thing is very high, and stockings have become high-end clothing that can only be owned by wealthy families. It was not until the advent of man-made fibers that everything changed.

A pair of two-dollar stockings can sell 70,000 pairs a day, and any girl who loves beauty can wear stockings.
