Chapter 0933: Eisenhower Comes to the Door
Early September.
It's autumn, and the temperature difference between day and night increases, and the costumes on the streets become strange.
There are young people in short shirts, middle-aged people in suits and leather shoes, and women in shirt dresses and trench coats.
Getting up from the goose down bed more than 3 meters wide, Li Zitao pressed the button on the wall, and the curtain 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 partition decoration, which perfectly solves this problem.
At the same time as the button was pressed, the bell rang in the kitchen downstairs, which proved that the owner had gotten up.
Looking out the window at the bright sunshine, but without the slightest warmth, the lazy and comfortable weather makes people just want to relax.
"Boss. "The first person to walk into the room was not Franter or Dan, but his secretary, Tia.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Zitao, sitting in a rocking chair.
"General Eisenhower is here. Tia took two steps forward and whispered in her ear.
Although the hostess was not there and there were only the two of them in the room, she reacted instinctively.
"Huh?" Surprised please snorted, Li Zitao got up and said, "Invite him to the restaurant and prepare a breakfast for him." ”
Seeing Tia retreat, Li Zitao walked out of the room in his pajamas.
He walked down the hallway to the temperature-controlled wine cellar and hand-picked a bottle of the best wine before taking the elevator to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Eisenhower was looking at the paintings hanging on the walls on either side.
One is Picasso's Guernica, which depicts the FXS bombing Guernica, a Basque town in northern Spain.
The paintings that slaughtered innocents during this period have been hyped and praised since they were published.
However, it was lent and exhibited for only half a year before mysteriously disappearing.
According to Picasso, the painting had been auctioned by a mysterious buyer and kept in his home.
"So you're the mystery buyer. Finding Li Zitao's arrival, Eisen, who was admiring the painting, pointed at him with a smile.
"It's not a secret anymore. Li Zitao spread his hands helplessly.
"I'm not going to say it, I'll let them guess. "Eisenhower is not interested in promoting such a thing.
He came to Li Zitao today because he had something serious to discuss.
"Cheers. A sumptuous breakfast was placed on the table, and Li Zitao took the lead in raising a glass to Eisenhow.
As a master, he should show grace.
As a friend, he is also grateful for the initial help Eisenhower gave him.
If it weren't for his initial support, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't exist at all, let alone grow to the size it is today.
"Cheers. Feeling his sincerity, Eisenhow's smile was even brighter.
Putting down the wine glass, Li Zitao sandwiched the candy egg on the bread, and said while smearing the jam: "I thought you were going to disappear forever, but I didn't expect to meet again..."
"You're already a general. Li Zitao pointed to his epaulettes.
"My friend, stop kidding, is there any news that can escape your ears?" Eisenhower pointed at him with a laugh.
"Congratulations, your command in the North African theater was wonderful. Li Zitao did not deny his statement.
In fact, he knows better than anyone about Eisenhower's path to promotion.
And in front of Marshall, he also said good things for Eisenhow, and as for whether it played a role, he was not very sure.
After all, Li Zitao didn't remember his promotion time and route very clearly.
It is only known that he finally commanded the Normandy landings and was successfully promoted to a five-star general, which also made him remembered by the world.
"How's the war on the front?" Li Zitao asked casually.
"We're winning," the smile on Eisenhow's face tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "but at a great cost." ”
"Every day, somebody goes down, and somebody fills it in again, again, again, again. ”
The cruelty of war can never be experienced by imagination, and only those who have experienced it know how precious peace is.
From World War II to the present, Eisenhower has sent away many unknown soldiers, as well as his former commanders, comrades-in-arms and subordinates.
The people around me changed batch after batch, and it was as if each of them was seriously injured or disabled.
"At least we already see hope of victory... The evil FXS will eventually pay the price. Li Zitao raised his glass and said.
"Yes, we will beat them, as we have done before. Eisenhow's voice raised firmly.
The dull topic made the breakfast time a little long, and Li Zitao had to change the topic to his intention.
"I think the front line needs you a lot, so what brought you here, my friend. Putting down the fork, Li Zitao looked at him with a light shake of the wine glass.
"Landing in France. Eisenhower lowered his voice and said, "It's time to start." ”
"This should be the top secret of the military department, you shouldn't tell me. Li Zitao cautiously moved his body back.
After straightening his back, he said to the outside, "Dan, don't let people disturb us. ”
There was a brisk and orderly sound of footsteps outside the door, proving that the servants outside were leaving, and Li Zitao signaled him to continue.
"My friend, like you said, this is top secret of the Federation, and you won't want to know about the exact time. ”
"Of course. Li Zitao said as a matter of course.
What is involved in this is the largest amphibious landing battle in the history of the world, and it is also the key point in the reversal of the situation in World War II.
Whether or not it can successfully open a second battlefield, reduce the pressure on the Soviet Union, and put Germany in a two-sided war is a matter for the future of the whole world.
Li Zitao doesn't want to know so much detail, if something is suspicious.
Although the arrest and imprisonment will not happen again, it will also cause a lot of trouble, and more is better than less.
Fighting a war is not his specialty, but it is better to let professional people care about it.
"I knew that your fear of trouble would never change. Hearing his answer, Eisenho laughed very happily.
He's still the same as ever, shy away from trouble.
"But there's one thing you need to know. "We need more air support. ”
"And, of course, landing ships and tanks. "He's not here to catch up.
As the commander-in-chief of the internal designation, from the moment he got the news, Eisenhower was preparing for it.
Soldier, he has countless good hands.
But when it comes to weapons and munitions, it's not his strong point.
The Allied powers approved full amounts of military supplies, weapons and funding for the operation.
But in Eisenhow's view, it wasn't enough.
He needs to be better prepared for his war, where there will be no defeat but victory.
This is the demand of the Union and the people, and it is also his commitment, and it is also for the peace of all mankind.
