ps: Two chapters in a row, and one more chapter in the evening, so stay tuned......

Keitel, who had finished the report, finally raised his mouth with embarrassment: "General Garand has declared a long list of candidates for the Knight's Cross, which is too much, isn't it?" ”

"Does it meet the usual evaluation criteria? Is there fraud? ”

"Yes, the situation is all true, Marshal Rommel also sent a telegram expressing his approval and vouching for his personality, but ......"

Hoffman waved his hand: "All right!" It is absolutely forbidden to treat meritorious soldiers badly, otherwise who will go to the next war? Do you want you and me to be dying and decrepit like this again? ”

Keitel immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes!" ”

"Has the official communiqué of the campaign been issued?"

"Brief results have been published, detailed reports have not yet been published. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"To write well, I want to think about it, the following points are very important and must be reflected." Hoffman solemnly explained, "After I finish writing, please look at it first and then show me, we must not only win militarily, but also win beautifully politically!"

For one, our enemies are strong, brave and tenacious. Whether it was Nimitz's fleet attack, Patton's ground attack, or the U.S. Army's attack and transportation like moths to fire, it all showed that this was a brave army. We are not at war with stupid pigs and cowards, we are fighting to the death with the elite troops of a great power thousands of kilometers away from Europe;

Second, the enemy has lost and we have won. On the one hand, because our commanders and all the soldiers are braver, more tenacious, and more wise, and on the other hand, because we represent the voice of justice, we have established our own country for millions of German people who have been bullied and oppressed, and we have driven out the American capitalist forces for South American countries, including Brazil, and have won the unanimous support and love of all South Americans, including the Brazilian people.

Third, the United States also occupies part of the territories of South America, including Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, etc., oppresses Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Panama, Costa Rica, and other small Caribbean and Central American countries, and occupies the overseas territories of our allies such as France, Britain, and the Netherlands. ”

Keitel didn't say much, only nodded his head again and again, and his head was full of words, "The Führer is clever!" What he thinks, Hoffman does not know.

After receiving the news of Patton's death and the annihilation of the Fifth Army's Salvadoran cluster, Marshall, whose condition had just improved a little, cried bitterly and fainted directly.

The bigwigs of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are silent as if the world is over.

"George...... Alas...... George ......" Truman patted the handrail sadly, "why didn't he take the plane and retreat?" So many generals retreated...... But he ......"

Eisenhower could not say a word: as a general who had also experienced the defeat and retreat in Africa, he was the man who knew Patton best. Patton regarded the fiasco in the Horn of Africa as the greatest shame of his life, and he was always thinking about revenge, and the last time it was revealed that training soldiers with live ammunition was actually an expression of this revenge mentality, how could such a person retreat again?

As soon as he thought of this, he complained a little about Hewitt, and wanted to blame him for why he hadn't knocked people unconscious and brought them back—he had sent a telegram to him.

Hewitt's face was stained with tears, he never thought that the parting with Barton would be forever, and he hated that he didn't insist at that time: forcibly confiscated Patton's weapons, tied him to the plane and brought him to Washington, even if he apologized to him in the future......

"President, we have a grand tribute to General Patton and General Roosevelt Jr...... Their heroic feat of martyrdom should be used to inspire the entire American people to resist aggression. Li Hai persuaded, "The bereavement of the two generals should be issued as soon as possible, and it will be difficult for public opinion to explain it here after a long time." ”

Truman nodded, and in two days it was the last debate with Dewey, and although he had made up his mind to withdraw from the election, the public opinion was very violent.

"This is CBS, dear listeners, and it is with great sadness that we are now reporting the news of the war:

…… Since September, in order to defend freedom, defend the national interests and territorial integrity of the United States, and counter the menacing offensive of the Axis aggressors, the Fifth Army of our army with George Patton as its commander has engaged in fierce battles with the enemy along the eastern coast of Brazil. In this campaign, the total strength of our army was only more than 100,000, and it was deployed in two places separately and lacked combat experience, and the enemy dispatched more than 200,000 troops, including the main fleet of the navy, the experienced army divisions that had been fighting on the Eastern Front for many years, the air force and naval aviation units with a total of nearly 2,000 planes, and the violent and fierce rocket units, to launch a fierce attack on our army.

In the face of the unfavorable situation of being outnumbered, General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. resolutely led a battle group of more than 3,000 people to bravely break the back, fought bravely in front of 20 times his superior forces, covered the retreat of the main force, resisted the enemy to the last shot, and died a heroic martyrdom; General Patton led the main force to fight and retreat, thwarting several enemy offensive attempts, inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy Rommel cluster, forcing the enemy to advance less than 150 miles in two weeks...... In the end, he was outnumbered and besieged.

In the encirclement, General Patton's style of taking the lead inspired the officers and men of the whole army to continue to resist bravely, and the officers and men of our fearless army aviation withstood the pressure and retreated from the encirclement day and night under the siege of enemy fighters.

After the battle, nearly 20,000 officers and men of the army retreated to Recife by ground, and about 17,000 other officers and soldiers were evacuated by air, including more than 3,000 lightly and seriously wounded.

At the critical moment when the campaign entered the final moment, General Patton gave up the opportunity to retreat by plane four times, threw himself into the command of the battle, gave up the precious escape route to other officers and soldiers and the wounded and sick, and used self-sacrifice to inspire the vast number of officers and men to persevere to the end and cover the retreat of other brothers.

On the last day of the battle, General Patton still formed an armored assault group, and he took the first tank to attack, hoping to find a way out of the siege for other officers and soldiers...... The rest of our army ran out of ammunition and food, and finally led the troops to surrender out of humanitarianism......

General George Patton, General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., and all the Allied soldiers who fought all their lives for democracy and freedom, defended the independence of the United States, and defended the interests of the people of the United States, are immortalized! ”

AP News...... President Truman signed an order posthumously promoting General George Patton to General of the Army and awarding him a Congressional Medal; Posthumously promoted General Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who died valiantly, to the rank of Major General and awarded the Order of Congress, posthumously promoted to ......"

"This evening, President Truman, all members of the Cabinet and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, representatives of members of Congress, and representatives of the Allies visited Admiral George Patton's hometown to visit and offer condolences to his wife and family, and the President relayed with tears to the members of the family (Mrs. Beatrice Bell-Eyre, eldest daughter Atrice Patton, second daughter Ruce Allen Patton, and eldest son George Smith Patton) the deeds of Admiral Patton's bravery, bravery, self-dedication, and heroic sacrifice, and expressed his deepest condolences to them, saying...... The entire American people are proud of Admiral Patton, and we will carry forward Admiral Patton's legacy and unswervingly fight bravely to defend the fundamental interests of the United States and its people......

He also praised his wife's contributions: she had always loved and supported the cause of national defense, and Mrs. Aterice was very supportive of her husband's development of a new tank, and not only persuaded seven generals from the War Department to come and watch. She also drove the tank around the field for a week (showing that the tank was extremely easy to use), and although the tank was eventually rejected, she continued to support Patton as always, and even bought tank parts out of her own pocket for her husband's troops who were short of funds......

The President said emotionally: 'All America owes you and Admiral Patton a thank you'

The grief-stricken Mrs. Patton spoke Admiral Patton's long-buried words with great tenacity -- 'The most magnificent way to die as a soldier is to let the last bullet of the end of the war hit me in the brain', and George unfortunately took the first step to hope that the people of the United States would further unite to fight and defend the free world.

General Patton's eldest son, Mr. George Smith Patton Jr., is currently studying at West Point, originally scheduled to graduate in 1946, after receiving the sad news of his father's death, he submitted an application to temporarily suspend his studies and join the army early, vowing to avenge his father......

It is also reported that the President will depart today for the hometown of General Theodore Roosevelt Jr. to express his condolences to the ......"

Nimitz and MacArthur led the fleet on their way to New Caledonia, and in order to gain time, he increased the speed of the entire formation to 18 knots (almost the highest speed of the Casablanca class).

After receiving the bad news from China, Nimitz staggered, almost collapsed, and cried bitterly: "I hurt him, hurt him...... I'm guilty, I'm guilty......"

Patton originally hoped that Nimitz's navy could fight a small landing battle in Victoria to thwart the German advance, but Nimitz did not agree to this idea because he wanted to deal with the Krankk fleet before the main German fleet arrived, and then finally the South Atlantic campaign ended like this.

Without the loss of sea supremacy, how could Patton's department end up like this?

He was full of remorse......

MacArthur clutched the railing tightly and stared blankly at the sea: "George, go all the way, I will definitely find a way to avenge you!" ”
