Churchill contacted Roosevelt immediately.

"I think our estimate is wrong!" Churchill said: "The Germans' new weapon is not a poisonous gas bomb!"

Roosevelt couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but Churchill's subsequent words made him feel relieved again.

"But I think this new weapon may be more terrifying than a poisonous gas bomb!" Churchill said: "Because last night... it had been launched from Sicily and then destroyed one of our radar stations!"

For this reason, Churchill flew to Washington to meet Roosevelt again.

Churchill put all the information and analysis in front of Roosevelt, and then said: "His Excellency President, I have to admit that we are facing a crisis! The Germans have a weapon with a range of 200 kilometers or even longer, and what's more terrifying is its accuracy... That means that all our equipment will be eclipsed in front of it!"

Of course, Roosevelt knew what this meant, two hundred kilometers... This was almost beyond the strike range of all the Allied equipment. Although it might not be able to hit the fighter jets, it might force warships to get close, tanks, artillery, etc. to be two hundred kilometers away, so the battle could not continue.

"Does we think of this equipment too terrible?" Roosevelt said: "Its hit rate may not be as high as we thought!"

But Roosevelt was not confident when saying this, because the United States often used shells to pile up when fighting wars. Of course, Roosevelt knew... If the German equipment could be mass-produced on a large scale, the number could also be used to make up for the problem of hit rate.

"On the other hand!" said Roosevelt: "Based on the intelligence you provide, the speed of this kind of flying bomb is not much different from that of the Spitfire fighter jet..."

"From the radar tracking data, the speed is 630 kilometers per hour!"

"Airplanes can be shot down, so this kind of aircraft can definitely be shot down!" said Roosevelt.

Churchill couldn't help but calm down and replied: "Yes, the commando I sent has shot it down!"

After pausing, Churchill continued: "But no matter what, we should be cautious, because it can be foreseeable that the Germans will likely launch a counterattack in North Africa after they own this equipment. What's more... If they deploy this equipment in France, our landing will likely be completely defeated!"

Roosevelt nodded when he heard this. Churchill's words made sense. If the transfer of strategic focus landed in northern France, he would likely encounter a more severe failure than landing in Sicily, because by then, the warships and transport ships would probably be sunk before they even reached the shore.

"So!" Churchill concluded: "The best way for us is to continue fighting with the Germans in North Africa, seeking to break through the Gabes defense line to capture the entire North Africa. After we have thoroughly understood the performance of this new equipment or have a solution, we will consider shifting the strategic focus!"

Roosevelt could hear another meaning of Churchill's words... Don't mess with the Germans for now, let them use the new equipment on the Soviets, so that Britain and the United States can understand the performance of this equipment.

Of course, Roosevelt had no objection to this, because it only benefits and does not harm the United States.

In addition, Roosevelt is considering another issue: Chief of Staff Marshall not long ago mentioned a "Manhattan Project". If this plan is successful, the United States can destroy Germany without any effort.

In this case, it is also beneficial to the United States to delay time as it goes.

So things settled, and the Allies continued to bomb and attack on the Gabes defense line.

An explanation can be given to Stalin: the failure of the Sicily landing war proves that amphibious landing war is very dangerous. The Allies have suffered huge losses when they have air superiority, sea superiority and military strength exceeds the enemy. If a larger-scale landing war is rashly launched in France, it may cause the Allies to be damaged and will be beneficial to the enemy.

Stalin had no experience in this area, and the losses of the Allies in Sicily were indeed true, so he had no choice but to deal with Britain and the United States.

In fact, even if Britain and the United States don’t make excuses, Stalin can’t do anything about them. Who made Germany bent on attacking the Soviet Union now and forced the Soviet Union to have something to ask for?

The request for help between countries cannot be explained by the word "international morality". No one will be able to provide free assistance or cooperation without benefits.

Qin Chuan on the other side was recuperating from Sicily.

Medical soldiers should clean Qin Chuan's wounds at least twice a day... once in the morning and once in the evening, and there is also a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, which can almost all be eaten as food.

However, Qin Chuan could understand the practice of medical soldiers. In this era, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs. Although penicillin had been invented, it could not be mass-produced (Note: In 1942, the United States began mass-producing), so the price was relatively gold, and the wounded soldiers in the army were obviously unaffordable.

It is said that Hitler was able to survive when he was assassinated because he introduced penicillin from a third country.

On the other hand, this is Sicily.

The humid and warm climate of Sicily can easily cause bacteria to grow, so some wounded people die from subsequent wound infections, although they do not have serious trauma.

Qin Chuan's injuries recovered well, which was mainly due to the medical staff's special care for Qin Chuan... The bandages were washed separately and killed by boiling water and then dried (if they were dried, they would inevitably lay eggs or be infected with other bacteria). The potion for cleaning the wounds was just opened and used separately for Qin Chuan. The ward was also a single room, and a service soldier was also arranged.

"Captain!" On this day, Rommel and his guards walked into Qinchuan's ward.

"General!" Qin Chuan hurriedly stood up.

"How is the injury?" Rommel asked.

"It's almost done!" Qin Chuan replied: "Thank you, General, I mean... for these arrangements for me!"

Everything about recuperation was explained by Rommel himself. If other officers and soldiers were injured, they would not be treated like this.

"Not worth mentioning!" Rommel replied: "These are all things that should be done. If it weren't for the need for you here, I should have let you go home and recuperate for a while!"

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan thought to himself that even if he was asked to go home, he wouldn't know where to go back.

"One good news and one bad news!" said Rommel: "One is that the enemy attacked the Gabes defense again!"

This is indeed good news, because it means the Allies were dragged in North Africa.

"Where is the bad news?" Qin Chuan asked.
