Chapter 494: Saying and doing are two different things

"How is our army training now? Did their morale cheer up after the Battle of Sicily? ”

When Montgomery finished speaking confidently, Churchill turned his attention from the movie screen to Montgomery's body, and said calmly.

"We have gradually risen from defeat, but the number of veterans is not as large as before the war! In particular, our veterans who lived through the North African campaign and the Tunisian campaign have lost almost half of their troops! ”

"Now most of the soldiers we have replenished are recruits, and they are still recruits who have no actual combat experience!"

"So we now have to spend more time and energy training them to become a qualified soldier!"

Montgomery was shocked by Churchill's look and question, and immediately responded.

"We don't have much time to delay, so I feel that as long as these recruits learn the general shooting methods and fighting methods, they can immediately participate in the actual combat and accumulate more actual combat experience!"

Churchill said lightly.

"But in this case, are we too risky, those German troops are not easy to deal with, and their individual quality cannot be underestimated!"

Montgomery said worriedly.

"I know! But we really can't do it slowly and rigorously now; And the real battlefield is the best place for recruits to train their eggs, as long as you give these recruits eggs to survive on the battlefield in the rain of bullets, then they can quickly become a veteran of combat experience! ”

Churchill waved his hand lightly and decided.

"But if we really want to do this, then our troops will have to suffer a lot of casualties before we can achieve the rhythm of new recruits turning veterans that you just said, Prime Minister!"

Montgomery disagreed.

"No matter what the cost, we must quickly replenish the army; Otherwise, we will never be able to open a second battlefield in Europe to attack those damn Germans! ”

"Especially now that Hitler has a huge aircraft carrier fleet, and a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, and an air force!"

"If we continue to slowly regain our strength as we do now, I am afraid that before we can fully regain our original combat effectiveness, the Germans will find a way to attack us again!"

"So I don't want to see our troops on the battlefield defeated by Hitler's German army and flee in disarray!"

Churchill spoke the truth.

"Don't worry! Prime Minister Churchill! I will never lose again to those hateful Germans, I will turn defeat into victory! Kill those Germans without leaving a single piece of armor behind! ”

Montgomery disagreed.

"We deployed hundreds of thousands of troops, a large number of fleets, and aviation units to assist in the battle of Sicily, but in the end? Haven't we been defeated by a large number of new weapons and equipment of the German army? ”

Churchill sneered without convincing.

"Last time we were careless, but this time I will never let the Germans defeat again; Even if they have a lot of new weapons and equipment to deal with us, I am not afraid of them! ”

"Because this time we already know the true strength of the German army, we can quickly change our strategic nuclear tactics against Hitler and his troops!"

Montgomery replied with displeasure when he saw Churchill's mocking expression.

"Saying and doing are two different things, so we can't rely too much on our intelligence sources, but we have to personally lead our troops to the front line to understand the true strength of the enemy army, so that we can know and deal with Hitler's German army more accurately and annihilate them!"

Churchill glanced at Montgomery and said solemnly.
