Chapter 642 Eisenhower's Son John
At the Algiers Anglo-American Operations Command, Eisenhower was smoking a cigarette in a bored mood, while strolling back and forth.
Eisenhower is not only responsible for the victory and failure of the war, including the United Kingdom and the United States, but also for the United Kingdom and the United States.
In theory, the British star Montgomery needs to obey Eisenhower's orders and be responsible.
Especially when we want to win the Western Front, Britain now needs people and material resources to rely on the United States, because the foundation of Britain is already very weak.
But even in this situation, Montgomery held his stubborn idea and believed that he only needed to be responsible to the UK, so he only followed the orders of Churchill and other British senior officials.
Therefore, during the war on the Western Front, Montgomery insisted that if he wanted to succeed in the war against Germany, he had to use strategies and strategies to attack the German army. Eisenhower, on the contrary, believed that he should fight the German army head-only with an overwhelming advantage of military strength and directly defeat the German army on the Western Front.
Especially when Eisenhower and Montgomery received that Rommel had led a large number of German troops to the Port of Ceuta in Morocco, the quarrel between them became even more intense.
Because Montgomery said that he would immediately dispatch troops to defend their Strait of Gibraltar in case the Germans occupied it and thus controlled the entrances and exits of the Mediterranean.
But Eisenhower was very bold this time, and beyond everyone's expectations, he proposed to take advantage of the current opportunity to dispatch troops to directly attack Italy and France, and open up the second battlefield in Europe.
Eisenhower's reason is very simple, that is, on the one hand, Rommel has led a large army to attack Morocco, and the targets may be the Strait of Gibraltar and North Africa.
Moreover, another powerful German general, Guderian, also led a large number of troops and aircraft carrier fleets to the Middle East; that is to say, Italy and France can have no more troops now.
Moreover, even if Rommel and Guderian have to conduct a return visit immediately, it will take time, and they will not be able to dispatch troops from far away Morocco and the Middle East to return to defense immediately.
At the same time, the Soviet army on the Eastern Front has also restrained a large number of German troops, and the Soviet army is also planning a large-scale Leningrad destroyer. Therefore, if the German army knows these situations, it will be terrible that not only will it not be able to dispatch troops to defend Italy and France, but it will even need to continue to send additional troops to the Eastern Front to fight against the Soviet army.
That's why Eisenhower was so bold and insisted that this was the best time for them to send troops to Italy and France, and could catch the German army off guard.
Of course, Montgomery, who only cares about his own national interests, did not think so, so the two of them quarreled over this for two days, and now they are in a stalemate.
But at this moment Eisenhower made up his mind to not miss this once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity, to counterattack against the German army in Italy and France, and to win the counterattack on the Western Front, and to successfully open up the second battlefield in Europe.
"Sir! I'm ready for a bed you want, an adjutant, a orderly officer, and some military rations, and a Browning pistol!"
Just as Eisenhower made up his battle plan, his son John Silton Dud Eisenhower suddenly walked in, straightening his body a little timidly, and reporting on the military salute.
Because Eisenhower's son John is now conducting military studies at West Point Military Academy in the United States, as for his ability to see his father Eisenhower from the distant United States at this point in time.
That was because Marshall was coming and allowed John to come to meet his father Eisenhower. Of course, this decision was made after Eisenhower's wife Mami.
"Well! OK! I will take you to the front line now to see what the battlefield in reality is like, and also let you learn how to buy the hearts of soldiers and let them fight side by side with you!"
Eisenhower happily hugged his son and said happily.
"By the way! Sir! Admiral Marshall, Admiral King and Admiral Arnold and their accompanying staff will also arrive at you tomorrow to inspect the situation on the front line!"
Looking at Eisenhower with a bright smile on his face, John also smiled happily.
"Well! I get it! I will be ready to greet them! Now you go to the front line with me!"
Eisenhower nodded and agreed.
"Yes! Sir!"
John no longer had the nervousness he had when he saw his father just now, but his smile shone brightly and agreed with a military salute.
Then the father and son walked out of the command center with a smile and walked out toward the adjutant and servant who were waiting for them.
