"May God really bless us with victory!"

"This is a crucial battle, and we can't afford to lose!"

When Eisenhower watched the members of the US-Canada Joint No. 1 Secret Service enter their assigned transport planes and gliders one after another, he sighed deeply and muttered to himself.

Then he turned around and ordered the navy and the amphibious landing force to prepare for a second campaign of surprise attack on mainland Italy and Sicily.

Because now the British and American navies have deployed more than 2,700 transport fleets and landing craft, as well as battleships.

They are from 12 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, overseas France, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, Australia, Poland, South Africa, New Zealand and other countries.

Moreover, they were also divided into the task force of the Western Navy and the task force of the East Navy, with a total of more than 2,700 ships, each with more than 1,000 ships.

Among them, there are more Higgins boats and other miscellaneous landing craft, because the number of such boats is similar to the number of fleets assembled by the British and American allied forces, with a total of more than 2,600 ships.

But since these landing craft were too small to cross the English Channel alone, they had to go into battle with a large fleet.

So the total number of fleets that Eisenhower was able to assemble now, including landing craft, reached more than 5,000, which can be said to be a very staggering number.

At least there are many more than the German fleet, and no other country can have so many ships on its own.

If it weren't for the fact that the British and American navies had recently sunk a lot of ships by the Germans one after another, I am afraid that their number would have been even higher, definitely more than 6,000.

In this sneak attack, the first fleet of the British and American navies set sail was a minesweeper fleet to prevent the German air force and torpedo boats from laying a large number of mines in the sea area they were going to attack.

Because they had already learned the terrifying power of those new mines that Chen Yanlong had redeemed, and the mines. It's going to blow up to pieces if you touch it.

Then there were battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers and other fleets that accompanied them.

When these naval units were ready to enter these fleets, it was Admiral Marshall who would bid farewell to the senior admirals of the Navy in place of Eisenhower.

However, although the generals who saw him off were different, Admiral Marshall nevertheless read out the order for attack that Eisenhower had given him.

"Officers and men of our valiant expeditionary force, the army, and the air force:

Now people all over the world are watching you, all those who are suffering and suffering in the war, people who love freedom; They are all waiting for your arrival and liberation in the German-occupied territories, and they are willing to pray and bless you......"

"But the fascist forces led by Hitler are not easy to deal with, because they are well-trained, well-armed, and brave, and even if they want to die in battle, they will kill more of us, they are fierce and strong......"

"But in the current situation, we have also made a readjustment and deployment; Now we are far superior to the Germans in strength and manpower, and I have a great deal to say to you warriors who have the spirit of valor, the ability to fight, and the duty you are faithful to; I am very confident that you will be able to save those who have fallen into the misery of fascist bullying! ”

"You will surely be able to win the whole European battlefield, win a brilliant victory, and the fascists will definitely be completely defeated by you!"

"I wish you all a safe journey after your victory!"

"God is with us, and God will surely bless the glorious cause we are about to do!"

Admiral Marshall's five-star voice read the sermon in the most agitated tone, hoarsely.

As soon as the words fell, all the British and American allies in the audience were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their blood was boiling and their fighting spirit was vigorous.
