Chapter 0843 - Preparations for War against the United States
Just as One Gulfstream landed in Chicago, Li Zitao was about to quietly go to the hotel with his two sons to celebrate the birthday of Lilith, who was filming here with his mother.
Dozens of young men in flight suits, fur hats, and handbags appeared at the airport, and they were pilots of the American Army Airlines flight team.
"They're they?" Li Zitao stopped, his eyes narrowed slightly, if he was not mistaken, the plane they boarded was a flight to the United Kingdom.
"The Volunteer Army... Go to England and join the fight... This is also instructed by Washington. Ava whispered in his ear.
Hearing these three words, Li Zitao's brain nerves seemed to be plucked by a finger, and his eyes lit up.
Flying Tigers!
Chennault should have been in the Far East during this period, how could he forget about this foreigner who formed the Flying Tigers!
If I remember correctly, Chennault later came to the United States to recruit pilots, should he have reached out to him to get him into action sooner.
"Daddy, Daddy... What are you thinking?" Seeing his father standing in front of the car, Aiden pushed him anxiously.
"I'm sorry... Let's go now. Li Zitao came back to his senses, kept this incident in mind, got in the car and drove towards the hotel.
When I met Lilith, she was swimming in the hotel pool with her nanny.
Don't look at the little girl's age, but her swimming age is not small, Aiden and Mason have been treated since they were children, and they are just as much as they are here.
The only difference is the time spent by his father, Li Zitao spends more time in New York, with his wife and son.
Because of this, Mary accepted Lilith better and prepared a birthday present for her.
"Hi... Lilith. Seeing Lilith swimming happily in the water, her head out of the water, Aiden by the pool jumped up and waved her hands.
"Hey~~" Lilith raised her hand and waved, and the water splashed down, reflecting her beautiful face and beautiful eyes.
At a young age, I can already see that Lilith is a beautiful embryo, and I don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future.
Regarding his daughter's marriage, Li Zitao is very open-minded, as long as he finds someone who can really treat her well in the future, there are no other requirements.
Perhaps it was because Lilith would not touch the core of the family that Li Zitao would make such a decision.
Aiden and Mason will inherit the family, and although it will bring them endless glory and wealth, they will also have more responsibilities and pressures than the other siblings.
Between the two, Li Zitao is more optimistic about Mason, smart, calm, delicate, more focused and serious, and can perceive details that ordinary people don't care about.
But it's too early to discuss this, the two little ones are not yet 10 years old, and no one can jump to conclusions about what will happen when they grow up, so leave it to time to judge!
............
London, United Kingdom.
Pilots from New Zealand, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland, Jamaica, and the United States joined the war.
Many of the government-in-exile occupied by the German NC, including Poland, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, and other air forces evacuated to Britain, also joined the encirclement of Britain.
In the skies, German warplanes were still raging, and although the Allies had much support, they were still at a disadvantage in the war.
This is mainly due to the fact that the main battlefield is in the skies over the British mainland, and no matter who wins or loses, the losses caused will be borne by the British themselves.
Unless the British army can intercept the enemy beyond the English Channel, it is the British property that will shoot down the enemy planes and fall to the ground and destroy them.
So far, at least one-eighth of London has been destroyed by German bombing.
Moreover, Germany also had its own allies, and Italy, which was also an Axis power, also sent an "air corps" to assist the German army in launching an attack on Britain.
Of course, when the news was heard, the whole country rejoiced, and a small drinking party was held with the only drinks available.
With the help of Italy, the 'ally', it was believed that the balance of war would be more and more tilted in favor of the Allies, and victory would eventually belong to Britain.
As for what the Germans think, it's not their concern.
In fact, compared to the performance of the navy and army, the performance of the Italian Air Force is still good, with frequent sorties but inaction, but it does not pull its teammates back.
Especially in the East African battlefield, the Royal Italian Air Force also set a record of flying a biplane CR-42 fighter to shoot down the British 'Hurricane'.
This news was tightly sealed by the British side, and now that the United Kingdom is suffering from the most difficult moment since its establishment, any news that could have a negative impact should be avoided.
People need hope, and governments need people's confidence and desire to win, so that they can get through this.
Internationally, there have been frequent reports that the United States has stayed out of the way and is still not involved in the war.
In particular, the pressure on the United States has increased, as Churchill used Churchill's remark that 'if the United States supports us, this war will be won'.
In Washington, Roosevelt once again summoned his senior staff officers and generals, and said in a solemn tone: "Gentlemen, do we have to continue to wait? Does the United States still pretend that the war is only a European affair and has nothing to do with the United States?"
"Actually, Mr. President, that's right. A senior staff officer said
"Mr. President, we don't have to pay for other countries' wars, let alone Americans. ”
The resistance was greater than Roosevelt had imagined, and almost everyone was opposed to going to war, which made him powerless and had to turn his attention to Marshall.
"Ahem, actually, gentlemen, generals, I have to remind you that, judging by the current situation, it is only a matter of time before the United States enters the war......"
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I don't think your judgment is correct, we and Japan are reaching a rapprochement on the Pacific issue,
And their oil supply is in our hands, and Japan must ensure the interests of the United States in East Asia, otherwise their warships, planes and tanks will be reduced to scrap metal. A four-star general stood up and retorted.
Marshall didn't say anything about it in government, just as Roosevelt couldn't do it, the war didn't burn here, the Americans didn't feel the pain, and they would never give up their luck with 'peace.'"
In the Japanese base camp, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Isoroku Yamamoto decided to launch the Pacific War under the pressure of the huge right-wing forces on the ground and the pressure of the Japanese high-level.
However, before the start of a war against the United States, both the naval and air forces must undergo strict targeted training in an effort to completely wipe out the important combat forces of the United States in the following sneak attack.
