Eisenhower was stunned for a long time and didn't say anything. At this time, he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Eisenhower said, "Do we have a choice?"

"Of course!" Alexander replied: "We are holding this meeting just to hear everyone's opinions!"

"Then..." Eisenhower said: "I suggest that the British attack Salerno and leave Taranto to the US!"

"General!" Montgomery interrupted: "We should learn enough lessons from the Battle of Sicily, because there are problems of coordination and intelligence sharing between the British and American armies, which has led to the British left wing being exposed to the enemy's armored forces and knowing nothing, which has suffered heavy casualties. We cannot let this scene happen again!"

Montgomery's words seemed to make sense, because the British did not know that the German armored division had turned in their direction.

The problem is that this is not caused by the coordination problem, it is precisely because of Alexander and Montgomery's blind command post for the British army... Of course, they will not admit this.

What Zhang Chi didn't expect was that the mistakes they made themselves would now be used as an excuse to achieve their goals.

"General!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but responded: "I want to say... Even so, there is still a problem of coordination between the two armies, right? As long as the British and American armies are on the same battlefield, there will inevitably be a problem of coordination, which is inevitable!"

"But this would be much better than two troops attacking at the same time, right?" Montgomery replied: "For at least some time, there will be only British or American troops on the battlefield!"

"On the contrary!" Zhang Chi replied: "This kind of coordination will lead to more problems. As you said, when the British army lands and builds a position, the US army will cross the British defense line and attack. So... Does the British army have a good way to advance for the US army, have firepower points to provide cover for the US army, and artillery positions... Should the US army or the British army be used? Even the supply lines of the two armies will be intertwined, and the equipment and ammunition of the British army are different. No one can figure out whether it is ammunition for the US army or the British army when a car comes up, which will cause all kinds of chaos. I wonder if you have thought about these? These are fatal on the battlefield and are easily exploited by the enemy!"

Alexander and Montgomery couldn't help but speak in silence after hearing this.

Indeed, the Commonwealth Army is still using its own rifles, while the US military uses m1s, and other equipment such as mortars, all of which have different ammunitions in British and American calibers, which will cause great difficulties in supply, which is obviously not in line with the principles of the battlefield.

But at this time, Alexander and Montgomery would not care about these things. They just wanted to take advantage of them...

"Your advice is very good, Major General!" Alexander looked at Montgomery beside him and said, "But we will arrange all this well. Believe me, General Montgomery is very good at doing these!"

Alexander was right. Montgomery may not be good at fighting, but he is good at making everything before the war... At this point, Montgomery can even be described as "obsessive-compulsive disorder" because he even hopes that the situation of the war will develop as he arranged it.

Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Of course, arrangements can be arranged, and anything can be arranged and planned. But everyone here knows that we should try to avoid trouble before the war, because there will be more troubles once the battle begins, so we should simplify things instead of being as complicated as this plan, which makes the entire battle have many potential dangers, right?"

"We don't think there is any danger!" Montgomery said confidently: "Major General, I will arrange it. I can guarantee that none of these troubles will happen. At the same time, the coordination problems between the two armies can be solved!"

Zhang Chi turned his gaze to Eisenhower and raised his eyebrows.

Eisenhower didn't understand at first, and when Zhang Chi's eyes tilted towards the direction of the meeting record, he suddenly woke up.

"Very good!" said Eisenhower. "Since that's the case, it's time for us to set up another bet!"

As he said that, Eisenhower got up, took the meeting minutes from the recorder and handed them to Alexander, and said, "Just like last time, I still need your signature!"

Alexander and Montgomery couldn't help but glance at Zhang Chi, and they suddenly realized that they had fallen into a trap set by Zhang Chi for them.

Now, it is the responsibility of the British to organize logistics and ensure that there is no chaos... This is no less difficult than winning a battle ahead, because the American soldiers who transport supplies even robbed supplies in Sicily not long ago. On the other hand, American soldiers were very dissatisfied with the British. This dissatisfaction was caused by the repeated "unequal treatment" during the war, and of course the pride of British soldiers.

Then, Zhang Chi could almost imagine that things would not be as easy as Montgomery said at this time.

But Eisenhower has questions about this.

After the meeting, Eisenhower asked Zhang Chi: "What if the British cannot control the chaos in logistics? You must know that it is the ammunition sent to us! The British lost only face, but our soldiers lost their lives on the battlefield because they did not get enough ammunition!"

"Whether it will develop into this situation depends on the general!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Me? What can I do?" Eisenhower said dejectedly: "All I can do seems to be just agreeing to the next battle plan after shit!"

"No, you can do it!" Zhang Chi said: "You must know that what the British fear most is losing face, just like in the last battle of Sicily, they hoped that their troops could capture large ports and big cities and invited a large group of reporters to cheer for them!"

"Oh!" Eisenhower understood after hearing this: "What do you mean is...we will invite a large group of reporters to come?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded: "The more, the better. Journalists from all over the world are invited. Of course, you cannot disclose the combat plan in advance. After the battle begins, you will tell them... Gentlemen, look, this is the meeting record between the British and us. They said that we can ensure that our logistics can be safe and orderly, so that we can feel at ease with the enemy on the front line... We have no problem with the bloody battle with the enemy, so we don't know if the British can do a good job in logistics!"
