Chapter 1435 A trip to the United States

Seeing that the Soviet Union, which had survived the severe winter, seemed to be about to come back to life, the German head of state was naturally anxious.

In order to completely kill the Soviet Union as soon as possible, the head of state no longer cared about Rommel's side and transferred a large number of tanks, aircraft and other technical equipment that were supposed to be transported to the battlefield in North Africa to the Eastern Front of Europe.

And it seems that this trend will continue for a long time, which means that the African battlefield will be malnutrition for a long time.

In addition, Pig teammate Air Marshal Gore performed well and the reaction force was also very strong.

In order to satisfy personal desires, Goering turned the Air Force into a pig farm, and once again ingeniously created a 250,000 field division in the Luftwaffe.

It consumed a lot of manpower, financial and material resources in Germany, but did not train enough excellent pilots.

So much so that after a series of fierce wars of attrition, the Air Force pilots began to get short of their limits. Even if the ace was overwhelmed in advance, they could not be replenished after consumption, which was zero.

"Yes, although we have a lot of troops, equipment supply is a huge problem.

And fighting in such a desert area with a harsh climate environment, without air supremacy and sufficient armored vehicles, it is impossible to win a war!”

Menegi sighed, rubbed his forehead and asked softly, "God General, how should we deal with it?"

"What else can we do? Apart from continuing to lay more mines to delay the attack, and we can make up for the shortcomings through mobile tactics, we can only expect the German army fighting in the Soviet Union to defeat the Soviet army as soon as possible."

Rommel also felt unprecedentedly powerless. In the face of absolute strength, as long as the enemy does not make stupid mistakes, it is almost impossible to turn the tables by skill alone.

It was expected that the North African Allied Forces would soon be strong enough to launch an attack on his troops, so as long as a big month ago, he changed his strategy in time to turn off the offense to defense.

Rommel ordered his troops to lay out more than 500,000 mines in the vast desert area, mainly composed of anti-tank mines and mixed with personnel anti-destructive mines.

On this basis, Rommel's greatest hope now is that the Germans fighting in Stalingrad could quickly defeat the Soviet army, and then move south through the Transcaucasus, threatening Persia and the Middle East.

This will cause a large number of North African Allied troops to mobilize troops from Egypt to Persia to help the British defend the defense, and in that case, the attacks of North African Allied troops on the German army will also be delayed.

By this time, Rommel could urge the German senior commander to provide strong support to his troops again.

Eventually, his African legion would unite with the German army in the southern Soviet Union to defeat the Allies in North Africa and the Middle East.

Although these ideas are good, they are not that easy to become reality.

At this moment, the first lady of the National Government came to America thousands of miles away with her mission.

On May 2, 1942, a Boeing 307 stratosphere passenger plane flying over the vast Pacific Ocean slowly landed at Chell Airport in New York, USA.

After the passenger plane stopped, the cabin door was soon opened. The first lady appeared at the cabin door with a charming smile in front of everyone's curious eyes.

"Click! Click!"

Under the flashing spotlight, dozens of major newspapers waiting there, radio reporters were surprised to see that the young woman with elegant temperament and smiling faces walking down the gangway.

This is a world of difference from the mysterious and ignorant first lady of the ancient Eastern king in their imagination.

“I came to seek friendship between China and the United States, and I believe that God does not want to see the two greatest nations in the world separate from each other.”

Immediately afterwards, what surprised the reporters even more was that when the first lady answered the reporter's mission, her fluent English with a slightly American southern accent was no less than the rhetoric of the world's best professional diplomats.

?After her debut and her first cheers were aroused in unison, the first lady calmly carried out a series of visits to the United States.

Her childhood study in the United States and the Christian beliefs of the Song family made her easier to enter the hearts of the American public and those officials who looked serious.

At the Capitol Villa, which symbolizes the highest courtesy of guests, she is still the only Chinese woman to climb to the pulpit.

Here, the First Lady in English tells the difficulties and hardships of China's 10 years of war of resistance since 1931, and lists the horrific bloody atrocities and emotions of the Japanese invaders in China.

The members of Congress present were deeply moved by the audience, and some even shed tears for it.

After the speech, hundreds of MPs and the crowded audience stood up and ovated, and the applause lasted for a full seven minutes.

Congressman Vandenberg and Truman, who later became president, both talked about it later, and they were moved by the wife's speech to shed tears.

On the National Radio, at Madison Garden Square, at the Hollywood Round Hall, at the factory, school, hospital.

At a press conference jointly held by the White House Oval Office and US President Roosevelt, whether it is speeches, fundraising, visiting, or answering reporters' tricky questions.

The first lady used her knowledge, demeanor and eloquence to show the image of Chinese women who were unfamiliar to Americans just right, building an emotional bridge for the United States to understand China.

The careful American woman noticed that when the first lady appeared in social occasions, whether wearing a suit skirt or a Chinese cheongsam, the position of the brooch always flashed with an extremely exquisite double-winged badge of the Chinese Air Force.

Is it a unique reminder to the United States that China needs them to extend a hand of military aid?

On the basis of the Chinese people who have won the admiration and support of the people of the world with their long-term struggle and sacrifice, the First Lady's visit to the United States set off a wave of sympathy and support for the Chinese War of Resistance in American public opinion.

It prompted the US government to immediately make a decision to provide loans and military material assistance to China, of course, this is also due to the interests of the United States itself.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the First Lady made great efforts and contributions in the struggle of the entire Chinese nation.

As time goes by, history has reached a new level. Perhaps the era of personal dominance will no longer return, and perhaps a Chinese woman who shocked the world will appear again in the future. I hope so.

Washington White House, Oval Office.

After everyone arrived, President Roosevelt said in a hurry: "There are two main topics to convene everyone to have a meeting today, the first one is about the visit of the First Lady of the National Government."
