Originally, during the Battle of Sicily, Churchill thought that his side was strong; It is definitely possible to defeat the Germans again, as in the battles in North Africa.

It was even able to inflict heavy losses on the German army, occupy the entire territory of Italy, wave the army to France, and fight directly towards the German mainland.

Of course, such an idea was defeated and destroyed by Chen Yanlong's new weapons and equipment and the deployment of extra troops one after another.

And the most important thing now is that his troops stationed in the English Channel are also seriously threatened by the German army, especially naval and air attacks, and he is powerless to immediately dispatch troops to support the operation.

"Why did Hitler have so many new weapons and equipment? How did he do it right under our noses, and why is our espionage work always being cleaned and severely damaged by them! ”

"What should I do now to turn defeat Hitler?"

After restraining his irritability again, Churchill muttered in distraught.

He then briefed Cunningham, Eisenhower, Roosevelt and other high-level figures who were fighting with Dönitz's aircraft carrier force, and asked them for more naval and air support.

At the same time, he immediately asked the Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet, which had already gone to support the operation, to rush to the destination as soon as possible to carry out the support operation.

As for the British troops stationed in the English Channel, Churchill gave them the order to resist the German naval and air attacks to the death, especially the amphibious landing operations that the Germans might take.

After Churchill had done these things, he also had an emergency meeting with all the navy and air force, and the rest of the British high-ranking troops; Discuss how to counter the German attack on the English Channel, and what the subsequent battle of the German army will be.

In short, Churchill was eager to have a large number of land, sea and air forces at once, to be able to repel the German forces deployed in the English Channel, to protect them from German troops to cross the English Channel, to master the sea communication in the Mediterranean, and to carry out landing operations on the British mainland.

After receiving Churchill's crisis telegram, Eisenhower, President Roosevelt and other high-level officials also looked solemn; For a while, I fell into worry.

If the English Channel was lost, then the German army would gain the initiative in the Mediterranean, and the British homeland defense would be in danger of being invaded by the Germans at any time.

That is to say, once Britain is invaded and occupied by the German army, then the war situation in the whole of Europe will be greatly changed; The German army would become the hegemon of Europe, truly controlling the whole of Europe.

At that time, the U.S. military will fall into a passive position and fight alone.

"How so? When did the Germans make a detour to the English Channel? ”

"How did their carrier fleet evade the surveillance of the British army? Could it be that such a huge aircraft carrier fleet and aviation units know how to be stealthy? So they were able to make a detour from such a distant place to the English Channel without noticing? ”

President Roosevelt, who was already in much less health than Eisenhower, was shocked and shocked by Churchill's debriefing.

In response, President Roosevelt angrily said the above to his secretary.

In this regard, President Roosevelt's secretary was very clever in choosing to keep his mouth shut and only listen and not speak.

President Roosevelt then vented his frustration and sense of the incompetence of the British army even more incessantly.

"No wonder these British troops are becoming more and more incompetent, their top brass are so wretched, what do we expect from them?"

In the end, President Roosevelt summed up his new view.

"But we still can't let them be defeated in the hands of the German army, for the sake of the entire European theater of war, and for the sake of defeating Hitler, we must immediately send naval and air forces to the English Channel to carry out support operations!"

"I sent a telegram to Eisenhower and Marshall. Let them send some troops from Cunningham to the English Channel to support the British army! ”

"Anyway, in the current naval battle in the Mediterranean, we have also suffered a lot of losses from the German aircraft carrier force!"

Then, without waiting for the secretary next to him to respond, President Roosevelt gave another decisive order.

After that, he babbled and said a great deal of things, and then his secretary did as he was told, and gave him all the orders for the battle according to President Roosevelt's orders.
