Chapter 507 Admiral Marshall to Plymouth

The British Prime Minister's House is located in Downing Street next to Whitehall, Westminster District, London, the British capital, and is a George-style building.

However, today, Churchill is here to criticize and punish their 5 and 6 intelligence departments, and also discuss with other high-level generals of the Navy, Army and Air Force how to deal with Rommel, Guderian, landing wars in North Africa and the Middle East.

So General Marshall, who had just arrived in London, did not go to meet Churchill, but went to Buckingham Palace to meet George VI.

Buckingham Palace is located in Westminster, London. It is the royal palace and residence of the British royal family. There are more than 700 halls and rooms in the palace, including ceremony halls, concert halls, banquet halls, galleries, etc. There is also a vast imperial garden outside the palace.

While Marshall was having a good talk with the King of England, they were also visiting the Royal Gallery, the Royal Masi and the Royal Flower Garden under the protection of a large number of Royal Guards.

In addition, King George VI of England was also very enthusiastic and friendly, hoping that Marshall could stay in the palace and let him enter the friendship of the landlords.

Because the heads of state who come to Britain for state visits usually stay in the Han, Jin and White House, and the royal guards in the palace guards in the dresses guard their personal safety.

But Marshall tactfully rejected the goodwill of the King of England because he was not the head of state President Roosevelt, so in order not to let himself do something that would be criticized by the domestic media; he decisively refused to stay in Buckingham Palace, which is a 5-story building.

Although King Ying was a little unhappy about this, he no longer forced Marshall to do something he was unwilling to do.

Then when Marshall and the King of England finished their gathering, he flew to the barracks stationed at the Plymouth Harbor by a large number of guards to spend the night.

Because after the defeat of the Battle of Sicily, in order to consolidate Britain's defense and prevent the German army's large-scale attacks on Tunisia, North Africa, or the British mainland, the United States opened many naval bases in Britain.

Of course, the reason why the US military is doing this is to establish more amphibious training centers to train more naval forces and landing combat troops to prepare for future counterattacks inland Europe for landing wars.

So Marshall was not worried at all whether he had a place to stay overnight, so he refused Churchill and the King of England to stay in the Han, Golden, White House, or the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Churchill's mansion.

But for Marshall spending the night in Plymouth, many officers persuaded Marshall to stay in nearby high-level hotels or hotels.

But Marshall disagreed with their opinions, because the purpose of his coming here this time was to find a way to win the British and American Allies and boost the morale of their troops.

Of course, what he wanted most was to cheer up Eisenhower, who had suffered defeats one after another, and allow him to lead his troops to victory.

Because no matter what, he still has a good impression of Eisenhower, and he didn't want to see him defeated and disappeared into the military, becoming an unknown person.

With the arrival of General Marshall, there was also a huge fleet coming with the bunker.

This fleet is composed of more than 140 Canadian warships, 5 battleships, 20 cruisers, 120 destroyers, and 3 low-side heavy gunboats. The US military dispatched 5 battleships, 5 cruisers, 45 destroyers, and 52 other warships of all sizes.

In addition to these fleets, there are also a large number of various types of transport ships, support ships, as well as minesweepers, as well as three Casablanca-class escort aircraft carriers, and two Essex-class fleet aircraft carriers.

"Rommeel, Goodrian! Where will you two be at and when will you land and fight?"

While flying from London to Plymouth, Devon, southwest England, England, I was thinking a lot on the plane.

"Be sure to investigate their landing location and login time before they conduct North Africa and the Middle East landing operations! Otherwise we will be very passive and caught off guard by these damn German troops!"

After a long time, Marshall clenched his fists tightly and made up his mind to say.
