Chapter 767: No Commander
"Of course! Sir! ”
"But where is the first place we are going to assist the Soviets in their attack now?"
Major General Noyce chimed in.
"Sigulda" in the valley of the Gauga River in Latvia and the southern bay of Narva in the Gulf of Finland! The 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Baltic Fronts will assist us in attacking these two fortified areas where the Germans are stationed! ”
"And part of the forces of the 3rd Belorussian Front will also carry out an auxiliary offensive in the Memel direction, as well as in these two areas, to disrupt the sight and military deployment of the German army!"
"In short, this time we will not only assist the Soviet army in the Leningrad-Novgorod campaign, but also launch the Baltic Coast campaign at the same time! In one fell swoop, recover Soviet territory in Leningrad and the Baltic Sea and inflict heavy losses on the German army! ”
Lieutenant General Fletcher replied after a slight silence.
"That's right! If the Soviets had won a brilliant victory in this large-scale sneak attack and defeated the German army on the Eastern Front, then they would not have been able to force themselves into the German mainland and attack the German mainland, and might even have hit Berlin! ”
"At that time, won't we work for the Soviet army in vain and get nothing benefit?"
However, as soon as the words fell, Major General DeWitt Ramsay reminded worriedly.
"Maj. Gen. DeWitt Ramsay is right, I agree with his concerns!"
Hearing this, he didn't say anything more, but Rear Admiral John Claris of the British Royal Navy, who was standing next to him, quickly echoed with a light in his eyes.
"If that happens, I believe that President Roosevelt and Admiral Marshall will properly handle these political matters, and we will only need to carry out our naval combat missions now, assist the Soviets in defeating the German aircraft carrier fleet and land forces, and recover the territories of Leningrad and the Baltic Sea in the recovery of the recovering army!"
"There is no need to worry about other superfluous things!"
But Lieutenant General Fletcher was playing Tai Chi, slickly putting the question on President Roosevelt's side and smiling.
“......”
In this regard, for a while, Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsay and Rear Admiral John Chris of the British Royal Navy were also stunned, and the corners of their mouths twitched, speechless.
Is it even more difficult for the two of them to talk about high-level figures such as President Roosevelt and Admiral Marshall, especially in the sensitive relationship between Britain and the United States?
Otherwise, if the friendly cooperation between Britain and the United States was undermined, Rear Admiral John Chris of the British Royal Navy was very sure that Prime Minister Churchill would never let him go, and even the people of Britain as a whole would not forgive him.
As for Rear Admiral DeWitt Ramsay, as a US military officer, if he dares to insult the president of his country, then he really doesn't want to mix in the navy, and there will even be some unexpected things for him.
Just like in the future, Barton was assassinated because he said something that should not be said, and faked it as a car accident, and even on the Internet information of later generations. As well as some records in the new book of the American military historian Rogette Wilkos, in which it is also said that Patton's death was premeditated.
The book states that Patton was in the car accident on the orders of Director Donovan (director of the U.S. Strategic Intelligence Agency), and also records how Bazata set up a fake scene of the crash to hit and break Patton with a low-velocity bullet in the neck after the crash, and that U.S. officials did not take effective security measures after the crash, so that KGB agents poisoned Patton.
In addition to this theory, there are three other persuasions, such as that Patton's armored forces were the first to discover a salt mine where the Nazis had hidden wealth, and that the spoils contained billions of European currency, hundreds of tons of gold, and countless art treasures were divided among the spoils, and the corrupt officials killed Patton with their killers.
Some people say that the Soviet Union sent hitmen to assassinate Patton, and Eisenhower secretly sent personnel to murder Patton, etc., but the real cause of Patton's death is still an unknown mystery, and perhaps only God knows.
However, regardless of Patton's fate in the future, many British and American officers in 1943 still did not want to casually destroy the cooperative and operational relationship between Britain and the United States, especially now that there was an additional Soviet army.
At least for the year, Patton's famous quote, 'A soldier's best place to return is to be killed by the last bullet in the last battle' was often heard, appreciated, and endorsed by Major General DeWitt Ramsay.
"That's it! You've all asked all the quotes? ”
"If there are any other questions to be asked, then you should take command of your fleet, and follow our army to be ready to meet the German aircraft carrier fleet and their land forces, or the air force!"
Seeing that everyone was silent, Lieutenant General Fletcher was ready to stop talking and immediately enter the pre-war state.
"No more! Commander! ”
After speaking, everyone looked at each other, and then agreed in unison.
"Good! So let's do our part! ”
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Fletcher was very satisfied.
Then they parted ways and went back to their own fleets to take command.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the snowflakes in the night sky were also falling densely, and the cold was even more cold than hour.
