At the wartime meeting of the Military Commission, His Majesty once said with a smile: Roosevelt's death is not a big deal, but just a change of president in the United States. Our strategy was not to eliminate Roosevelt, but to defeat Eisenhower.

But the sudden death of President Roosevelt will undoubtedly have a major impact on the battlefield situation, and even on the war situation in the entire world, and this impact will be on both sides.

Both Qiu and Bearded couldn't wait to meet with Truman, but they suddenly discovered that by the end of 1942, the war had eroded the Allied side to such an extent. Even the triumvirate of the Entente wanted to find an absolutely safe place to hold a meeting, which became a luxury.

The final location was set in the Icelandic port city of Hafnavjödur, which is garrisoned by US troops. Until the Allied navies in the Mediterranean failed to break through the Strait of Gibraltar, sea supremacy in the North Atlantic remained under the control of the Entente. In addition to submarines, it is already difficult for the German Navy to get out of the Danish Strait, and although the German aircraft carrier Bismarck is nearing completion, it can only be used as a transport ship in the Baltic Sea for the time being, transporting some supplies to the Soviet front line or something.

Going to Iceland for a meeting, some trouble was Stalin, and now the airspace of the USSR is the world of German He-117 "Black Knights" and Go-229 Horton flying-wing fighter-bombers.

The Soviet Union's MiG-15, Su-7 and Yak-25 fighters have lagged far behind in terms of performance and can only rely on numbers to support them. But for the "Black Knights", who were already equipped with the SN-5 advanced mechanical scanning radar and the X-7 semi-active radar-guided air-to-air missile, the Soviet Air Force has increasingly shown helplessness.

In terms of bombers, the theory of flying wings was not a new thing in the world, as it was proposed in 1910, and then various powers tried to put it into practice. It was Boris I. Cheranovsky of the Soviet Union who built the world's first flying-wing aircraft in 1924, and several improved models were introduced over the years. John K. Northrop and others in the United States also sent the "1929 Flying Wing" (X-216H) to the blue sky for the first time in 1929, and Northrop was also the research and development company of the famous B-2 Ghost in later generations.

However, in the world war, the successful use of flying wing fighters into real combat was still one step ahead of Han and Germany. Unlike the Han Empire's Qiulong, the German GO-229 Holden Flyplane was a fighter/bomber with a hybrid metal and wood structure, and was much smaller than the Qiulong, a single-seat light aircraft with an empty weight of only 4. Six tons is only one-eighth of the weight of the Qiulong - the Qiulong has a crew of four people and an empty weight of more than 40 tons, which is equivalent to the weight of the American M26 Pershing tank.

However, the Go-229, which can reach a ceiling of 16,000 kilometers, still brought great nightmares to the Soviet Union. The Soviet Air Force did not have fighter jets capable of flying more than 11,000 meters, so the skies of the Soviet Union were completely open to Horton flying wings. The Hoton winger, which could carry four 500-kilogram bombs, dropped bombs freely into Soviet cities almost like high-altitude flight training, and then flew back slowly.

Even if Germany has not made much progress in the development of medium-range air-to-surface missiles, just throwing bombs is enough to annoy the Soviet Union. Even the Kremlin was blown off by a bomb dropped by the Go-229, and if that bomb had been more accurate, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Soviet Union had already gone to see Marx and Lenin.

Because the Soviet Air Force did not have a suitable transport aircraft, Stalin flew to Iceland on a Tu-16 twin-engine high-subsonic bomber.

-- Tu-16 is the prototype of the H-6 that was imitated in China in the 60s and is still in service and constantly improving.

Compared with Truman's Boeing 707 Air Force One and Churchill's Havilland-5 special plane, the Tu-16, which is quite advanced in performance, is so shabby, which makes Stalin, who has a good face and a good competition, quite depressed.

Fortunately, he had not seen the two royal Kinglong passenger planes parked at Chang'an Qinglong Airport, and it was estimated that he would push the Tu-16 into the sea with low self-esteem.

Regardless, the Entente triumvirate finally succeeded in meeting in secret. In the war-torn era, during the period when the Allied offensive was in full swing, after the photos of the Big Three sitting on the seashore of the North Atlantic Ocean were published in the newspapers of various countries, it was self-evident that the great positive energy brought to the military and civilians of the Allied countries that were struggling to resist was self-evident.

In particular, the leaders of the three countries jointly issued the "Hafner Fjodur Declaration", declaring that no matter how rampant the fascist army was, the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union would unite with all the Entente partners and persevere in waging a major and protracted war until the evil and ****** fascist alliance was defeated.

Almost at the same moment, British Foreign Secretary Eden was also in Madrid having a friendly and cordial conversation with Franco. On behalf of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Eden promised that as long as Spain did not join the Iron Alliance, Britain would open negotiations with the Falangist government on the sovereignty of Gibraltar as soon as the war ended.

The Spanish head of state, dressed in military uniform, smiled and praised the democratic, gentlemanly British Empire for offering the initiative to negotiate the port of Gibraltar. As for the heart...... In fact, Franco is now dissatisfied with both sides, or is still judging which side will win the war in the end. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and both sides don't dare to offend for the time being!

Obviously, the Han Empire also understood this. So, instead of driving Franco to a dead end, His Majesty chose to give Spain time to choose.

The location of the Iberian Peninsula is crucial, which also determines that the two countries on the peninsula do not dare to express their position lightly. Once one side joins, the Iberian Peninsula's unique geographical location will determine that it will definitely become a battleground for both sides.

The plenary meeting of the wartime military commission of the Weiqing Pavilion unanimously decided to settle the African battlefield first, and this deadline was the time given to Franco's Falangist government to make a choice. However, if the Allies had tackled the multinational force on the African continent, would Franco still have an option when he invaded the Moroccan port of Tangier?

As for the African campaign, although everyone has different opinions, there is endless debate on whether to attack from the south to the north or from the north to the south. But His Majesty, after a long period of contemplation, ended the argument in just five words - landing in Tunisia.

It is an old saying that before the Navy launched the Mediterranean naval battle, His Majesty discussed with everyone the possibility of landing in Tunisia. In the eyes of more than a dozen Imperial Army bigwigs in the conference room, this plan was simply proposed by a rudimentary military enthusiast, and there was no feasibility at all.

When the Allies have already occupied most of Egypt and Libya, and even Wang Yizhe's South African Front has begun to advance into West Africa, is it necessary to take a huge risk and force a landing in Tunisia? Although, it is undeniable that once the Allied forces successfully land in Tunisia, the multinational force will face the collapse of the entire front, which is the quickest way to end the fighting in Africa.

That's right, Your Majesty just valued this "quickest": "We don't have much time to waste in Africa, and before 1942, not solving the British problem was already a small defeat for us!" There could be no further delay, the fighting in Africa must be ended as soon as possible, landing in England, and forcing Britain to surrender. ”

Everyone wondered why His Majesty was in such a hurry, there was no need for a sound strategy, and he had to make a risky move! Only Zhong Yi himself knows that if he still cannot form an effective strike against the United States beyond 1943, then he will be forced to restart the nuclear war!

The world has changed so much that no one can guarantee how the Manhattan Project will progress in the United States? Will the "little boy" appear in advance.

The only insurance is to strangle the "little boy" in its cradle before it can be born.

Jiang Yunzhi had already gently placed a thick folder in the meeting while everyone was still stunned and calculating the possibility of landing in Tunisia.

The big-eared fox, a national treasure of Tunisia, is not big, but its ears can reach more than ten centimeters in size, and it looks very cute in the desert bushes. In the small zoo in the imperial garden of Weiyang Palace, there are several big-eared foxes with big ears, big eyes and small heads, which are the favorite pets of the eldest princess of Tianning.

And the one who brought the big-eared fox to the Weiyang Palace was General Jiang Yunzhi, the chief of the general staff of the three armed forces of the empire, who opened the folder and was about to speak—well, he will soon be a marshal, and His Majesty has decided to promote the rank again in the New Year.

On the first page of the folder, Mr. Jiang opened the folder, and there were three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: big-eared fox. A little lower, a slightly smaller row reads: Second North Africa Landing Plan.

As early as when His Majesty first proposed a landing in Tunisia, Jiang Yunzhi, whose command style had always been fond of dangerous tricks, immediately ordered the General Staff to make a landing plan.

Similar to the "torch" plan when the multinational force landed in North Africa, Jiang Yunzhi also chose three landing sites: Halegwadi in the Gulf of Tunis, Port Souss in the Gulf of Hamat, and Sfax on the western side of the Gairgan Strait.

Malta and Sicily, Italy, were to become staging grounds for Allied forces.

In the "big-eared fox" landing plan drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters, the three landing sites will adopt different combat methods.

In the Gulf of Tunis, facing the gateway to the capital of Tunisia, the multinational force is heavily guarded. In order to avoid excessive losses during the landing, here the battleships and carrier-based aircraft will be bombed wildly to contain the strength of the multinational forces in Tunisia. And to eliminate as much as possible the African Air Force, which is already an old and weak soldier of the multinational force, the real landing operation will be delayed by a week compared with the other two landing sites. To put it more simply, the real purpose of the Battle of the Gulf of Tunis was to contain it, not to be the starting point of the landing.

In the Hamat Bay landing campaign, combat missions will be carried out by three airborne corps of the Guards Army and the Japanese paratrooper corps. Nearly 100,000 paratroopers participated in the war, which would be the largest paratrooper airborne operation in the world, and it would also be a great test for the Empire's air force transportation and airdrop capabilities. On this point, Jiang Yunzhi once consulted the opinion of the air force, and Admiral Yun said that with the air transport capacity of the Reich alone, there are difficulties, and it is better to pull in the Luftwaffe.

The latest news is that Goering has reported the request of the Allied command in the Mediterranean to the Führer, which was approved by the mustache. At that time, a large number of military transport planes, including the Luftwaffe's Junkers, will join the ranks of the paratroopers. Even the German Führer was very interested in creating the world's largest airborne operation, saying that if needed, Germany would have 30,000 elite paratroopers to join the battle.
