Chapter 1222： Flying snake in the air (1/2)

Hopkins returned to the White House and was immediately received by Roosevelt.

”The Germans fought so smoothly on land. Now, the entire Belarus has been occupied by the Germans, and the troops of the Western Special Military Region have disappeared.” Hopkins did not say a word, and Roosevelt had already started talking. : ”Petersburg was bombed to ruins, and in the south, the main force of the Germans is marching towards Kiev. In this case, does Moscow have a pessimistic attitude?”

At the beginning, Germany aggressively wanted to go to war with the Americans in the Atlantic Ocean. The United States was very anxious. The Pacific Ocean was already eroded. If confrontation with Germany again in the Atlantic Ocean, the US naval power would definitely not be enough. , The United States will suffer from the enemy, life will be very difficult.

Unexpectedly, the Germans were bluffing in the Atlantic, and then suddenly ran over to fight the Soviet Union. This really relieved the White House. At least for the time being, there is no need to worry about German attacks on the United States from the sea.

The United States has won a precious respite. Now, it must concentrate its efforts to defeat the island nation first.

Now, what Roosevelt wanted to know most was Stalin's attitude and Moscow's attitude. Are they confident of victory?

”Although the Soviets played badly, Stalin did not have any pessimism.” Hopkins said: ”You should know that people like Stalin, no matter what difficulties they are in, will face up to difficulties.”

Even if an ordinary Soviet person would be pessimistic, Stalin would not. He is a gritty man, never discouraged by failure. This judgment is completely correct.

The biggest gain of Hopkins’s trip to the Soviet Union was to master the attitude of Moscow. In his eyes, he saw the Soviet Union that is not afraid of the enemy. Although the early progress is not good, the Soviet Union must be able to resist. Live the offensive of Germany.

Hopkins's itinerary is of great significance. The ideological opposition between the Soviet Union and the United States has alienated them from each other. Now, the alliance between the Soviet Union and the United States is about to take shape.

Roosevelt nodded: ”This is the best. We need the Soviet Union to help us consume German power, but the Soviet Union must have nothing to do. If the Germans occupy the Soviet Union, then it will be the worst news for us.”

If Germany rules the Soviet Union, the United States really has no hope. Germany has integrated Europe, Asia and Africa, and the United States may eventually fall. From this perspective, saving the Soviet Union is equivalent to saving the United States.

”Stalin has no objection to the various opinions I put forward. We need to convene a meeting of the three governments as soon as possible to discuss strategic and national interests.” Hopkins said: ”Stalin is now seeking our support. Concession, this is an opportunity for us.”

”Yes, I am also looking forward to this Moscow meeting. Our lease bill can include the Soviet Union, so that we can provide the Soviet Union with a lot of weapons.” Roosevelt said: ”The Soviets are bleeding and sacrificing. We still haven't provided some weapons. questionable.”

”Yes, for the Soviet Union now, the air defense pressure is the greatest. Therefore, we have agreed to export some fighters to the Soviets first. Now, it depends on what fighters we give to the Soviets.” Hopkins Said.

U.S. support cannot remain verbal. In addition to light weapons, guns, ammunition, and food, fighter jets must also be provided immediately.

If the Germans chose Moscow as the target of the bombing and killed Stalin and others directly, then the Soviet Union would not have to resist.

It's strange to say that since the Germans can level Petersburg, why not directly level Moscow? This is the fastest way to end the war.

With the advent of war, the United States' war machine is also in motion. The United States can produce a large number of weapons and equipment, but what fighter jets should it give the Soviets?
