As the most important amphibious warfare expert in the U.S. Navy, Hewitt's flagship was commanded by the U.S. Navy's attack transport ship "Monrovia".

There are also many large transport ships, battleships, tankers and other ships near it; they are being divided into columns and several rows of horizontal rows, and there is a distance between each ship.

There are also the battle-torn battleships Texas and New York, which are lined up on both sides of these ships and guard them.

There are also more than 40 destroyers patrolling the designated locations of the inner and outer shields of the anti-submarines.

As if it felt that this was not safe enough, a large number of soldiers were patrolling continuously at the port where the "Monrovia" berth was fully armed.

As soon as he arrived at the port, he immediately got out of his car and strode towards the pedal, preparing to board the attack transport ship "Monrovia".

The people who greeted him were the captain and all the navy personnel, and they also saluted him with a respectful military salute.

Hewitt also replied with a slight salute, and then he entered the aisle inside the ship that was a little dark and small in space under the support of some staff.

As soon as he entered the crowded command room, Hewitt saw many staff officers carefully studying the naval orders of the Battle of Sicily.

Of course, there is another name called Eskimo Operation.

"Have our aircraft carriers and fleets arrived here?"

After a rough glance at the people in the command room, Hewitt immediately asked a tall staff officer beside him.

"Now there are about 4 aircraft carriers, as well as the cruiser USS Cleveland and nine destroyers have arrived."

The US military staffer named Bitel immediately responded nervously.

"What about the transport team? How many other ships are coming or have arrived?"

Hewitt continued to ask.

"4,000 ships and ships of all sizes have arrived, but now there are only more than 1,200 ships!"

After thinking about it, he replied loudly.

"How is it going now? Are there any problems that need to be solved immediately?"

Huey nodded, glanced at all the people and asked.

"Some! Sir! Because many of our captains and crew are recruits, most of them do not understand our new landing ships and the operation of tank landing ships; in addition, there are many mistakes and misses..."

Bitel continued to answer.

"In addition to what Bitel said, we also have a lot of work reports on small and errors, such as transporting kitchen utensils onto the ship without bringing seasonings onto the ship; or mixing some poison gas and ammunition in the same cargo hold..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another US military staff officer named Riggins also stood up and interrupted.

"Is there anything worse in general than the warships we had during the Torch Operation last time?"

After hearing this, Hewitt was silent for a while and asked.

“It’s much better!”

Bitel and Riggins agreed in unison.

"That's good. Remember that our purpose this time is to transport 4,000 ships and more than 4,000 combat aircraft within two months; and to transport about 500,000 soldiers to the Sicily area to prepare for landing operations! So we must complete this "Eskimo Operation" with the fastest speed and the most efficient operation, paving the way for us to attack the Italian fascist land!"

Hewitt said loudly and seriously.

"Yes! Sir!"

All British and American staff officers answered loudly in unison.

"Okay! This attitude and momentum are our best state! In addition, how is our "stubborn" confidentiality operation done? Have those soldiers implemented it thoroughly?"

Hewitt nodded with satisfaction.

"They performed well under our close surveillance! All soldiers were told that they would never disclose where we were going, where we were doing, or what we were about to do! Those who violated military orders would be sent to military courts for trial and military punishment."

Before Bitel could reply, Riggins immediately took the lead.

"Well! We must grasp the confidentiality level, otherwise the Germans will find out that we are logging in there, which will cause great trouble for our login operations!"

Hewitt stared at Riggins with admiring eyes and smiled with satisfaction.

"By the way, has the German air strikes happened recently?"

Hewitt suddenly remembered.

"No, since the Battle of Tunisia, we have never seen a German plane, ship, or submarine! I think they should have been greatly damaged in the last large-scale rescue of the German remnants on the Bangkok Peninsula! Otherwise, with their anxious temperament, it would not have been so quiet!"

Riggins continued to answer first with joy.

As soon as the words fell, the entire command room became lively.

All the British and American staff members were talking, but in the end everyone happily agreed with Riggins' answer.

"Or! But the movement of the German army was too quiet. Although they lost a lot of planes, ships and submarines last time, they had not completely damaged their foundation. I think these Germans must be planning some major conspiracy!"

But Hewitt frowned deeply and opposed.

However, his objections were not heard by many British and American staff.

Because they have been greatly confident and arrogant because they have been greatly defeated by the recent successive victory.

Therefore, it is not easy for them to pay enough attention to the German army, which is gradually declining, and feel that crisis is not easy.

Then they talked about some irrelevant things, laughing and jokingly.

In such an atmosphere, even Hewitt, who had just been nervous and attached importance to the German operations, unknowingly relaxed his vigilance and began to chat happily with everyone.

At this time, the German Second Air Force stationed in Italy and the Mediterranean, with four fighter brigades, three bomber brigades; two fighter bomber brigades, one night harassing brigades, one transport aircraft brigade; two long-range reconnaissance aircraft brigades, and all pilots of one short-range reconnaissance aircraft brigades; and commanders were all summoned by their commanders for an emergency meeting.
