"Report! General Marshall sent an urgent call and asked the commander to take a look!"

Just when Eisenhower was a little helpless, a staff officer suddenly knocked on the door anxiously while reporting.

After talking, Eisenhower asked the other party to come in and showed him Marshall's telegram.

"How is the progress of the landing operations in Sicily?"

The content of the telegram is very simple, just the above sentence.

After seeing this sentence, he, who was already very upset, became even more irritable and uneasy.

"Is it better for me to continue the attack now or delay the attack?"

After reading the telegram, Eisenhower sighed to the sky and muttered to himself with deep fatigue.

The staff officer who sent the telegram stood nervously and quietly, waiting quietly for Eisenhower's reply.

And when Eisenhower couldn't make up his mind, Cunningham came.

This British Royal Admiral from Scotland was not only capable, but also a confident and courageous figure.

"Why are you so upset? Commander Eisenhower!"

Looking at Eisenhower, who was anxious as an ant on a fire nest, Admiral Cunningham smiled slightly.

"Hey! You're finally here! That's all! I'm not here yet for the bad weather. I don't know whether to continue to carry out the Sicily landing battle or delay the battle! Do you have any good ideas? Admiral Cunningham!"

As soon as he saw that the person coming was Admiral Cunningham, Eisenhower immediately shone with his eyes and smiled happily as if he saw a life-saving straw.

"Good idea, I'm an ant too! But now I've come here to bring you a telegram from Prime Minister Churchill and others, and the content is also to ask you how the progress of the Sicily landing battle is now!"

Admiral Cunningham smiled bitterly.

“…”

Hearing this, Eisenhower was suddenly covered in black lines and almost felt a little urge to vomit blood.

"But I think you should continue to carry out the Sicilian landing battle!"

Seeing Eisenhower with such a wonderful expression, Admiral Cunningham said in a gentle tone.

"But the weather is very bad now!"

Eisenhower worried.

"It's okay, the British troops responsible for landing operations on the east side of Sicily are in the leeward position, so these storms have little impact on their landing!"

"And before I came here, I also asked the weather experts that the storm came quickly and went quickly! So I personally think we should not worry too much!"

Seeing this, General Cunningham walked into the command center and pointed at the wind direction map on the wall and said seriously.

"But our US military is responsible for landing operations on the south bank. If we do not successfully land, then will you only be your British troops left in the entire Sicily? In this way, you will become weak and fight alone!"

"And do you feel that Patton under your command will stop landing and fighting because of the storm? With his belligerent personality, I'm afraid he will never give up. He will land successfully no matter how much he pays!"

Admiral Cunningham shook his head and smiled.

"This... you are right! Even if Patton knew that the delayed landing operation was President Roosevelt's order, he would pretend that he did not hear it and urge Hewitt to speed up the landing!"

Eisenhower also sighed deeply and said.

Finally, after chatting for a while, they decided to continue fighting according to the original landing combat plan.

So it won't take long for both Montgomery and Patton to quickly receive Eisenhower's latest combat orders.

"No matter how bad the weather is, the combat operations continue to be carried out as scheduled and wish you great victory! May God bless you, and I hope you can hear the good news of your successful landing and combat tomorrow morning!"

Looking at these new combat orders, Patton and Montgomery both had bright eyes and showed belligerent smiles.

At the same time, the two of them also allowed their troops to quickly complete their landings in the storm, rest on the island of Pantelleria, and wait for news of their air convoy's air strike against Rome, Italy.

Because once the air strikes on Rome are successful, their airborne troops will carry out the first night airborne operation of British and American troops since World War II, and then their army will carry out landing operations.

After these British and American armies arrived at Panteleria Island one after another, the sky became darker and the storm gradually stopped.

But the sky is still dark, without any starlight or moonlight.

Or because of the sudden arrival of the storm, none of the German reconnaissance planes appeared.

Otherwise, the German army would have discovered that at this time, more and more ships and transport ships were anchored one after another.

The British and American airborne troops in Malta were ready to go.

At this moment, 2,000 British paratroopers, 4,000 American paratroopers, and 1,000 paratroopers from other allies were all nervous and nervously waiting for the issuance of combat orders in the air force base.

However, while waiting for the order, in order to relax their mood, they all found some things to chat in a mess.

As for the C-47 transport aircraft at this moment, and the Albimars aircraft are also landing at the airport where the 1st Airborne Division of the British Army and the 82nd Airborne Division of the US Army are located.

At this time, Eisenhower and General Cunningham had also left their command center and came to these airports, nervously observing the pre-war preparations of these airborne troops and transport planes.

"The storm is about to stop! Commander!"

Just when Eisenhower was fascinated by the sight, a staff officer came to him again and reported respectfully.

"Well! Did our bomber group arrive over Rome?"

The staff officer continued.

"It's almost!"

The staff continued to report.

"Are the Italian king Vittorio Emmanuele III and Earl Ziano willing to cooperate with us to carry out an anti-Mussolini coup?"

Eisenhower continued to ask.

"We haven't responded to us with certainty yet, but our lurking eyes on them found that they were acting secretly! It seems that once we successfully bombed Rome and won the landing battle with Sicily, the fascist regime of Mussolini will definitely be pushed down by them!"

The staff officer responded confidently.

"Okay! That's good! Once our air force arrives in Italian airspace, let our airborne troops set out to airborne Sicily!"
