"We're on the outskirts of Sicily! Commander Montgomery! ”

At 1:45 a.m., 150,000 amphibious landing soldiers, more than 200,000 sailors and crews, and more than 3,000 tanks and 13,000 motor vehicles quietly sailed to the waters off Sicily with a large aircraft carrier fleet.

When Bertram Ramsay was commander of the Port of Dover in 1942, he commanded Operation Dynamo during the Dunkirk retreat and the Battle of Britain for the defense of the Channel.

He later worked with Eisenhower as a representative of the Royal Navy to plan and participate in the Torchlight Landing in North Africa and now the Second Sicily Landing Operation.

And because he was a rare combat expert in amphibious operations, he was also promoted to vice admiral and was responsible for commanding this amphibious landing operation.

"The last time we wanted to implement the three battle plans of "Avalanche", "Bay City" and "Castatanet", all of them were defeated and forced to stop fighting and withdraw from the battlefield! ”

"Do you think we will be able to take Sicily this time and fully implement these three battle plans? Lieutenant General Ramsay! ”

Montgomery said suddenly.

His tone was neither worried nor joyful, very calm and calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I don't know the final outcome of this battle, but I only know that I don't care where this battle goes, how it ends; As long as we can survive, I will do my best to look to the future, and continue to make a winning battle plan at this stage to continue to fight against the Germans! ”

Bertram Ramsey also didn't have much fear, and responded relatively calmly.

"Remember the evacuation of Dunkirk on May 25, 1940, and the Battle of Great Britain on July 10, 1940?"

"In the darkest hour of that lonely battle, we defended while resisting the German air raids and invasions with our own lonely strength!"

"In the end, after we cooperated with the U.S. military, we not only succeeded in driving the German army out of Africa, but also defeated the Italian navy, opened up shipping routes in the Mediterranean, and opened up our own safe shipping routes!"

"And since then, our goal has always been to mobilize Turkey to fight, defeat the German army, and contain Japan in the Far East!"

"In fact, the most desired result for us is to plunge the German army into four theaters, to consume and disperse all their living forces and forces, so that we can completely annihilate the German army on land, sea and air in the Russian theater, the Italian theater, the Balkan Peninsula theater and the Western European theater!"

"As long as the German army fights on multiple fronts, then its forces will become very weak, and its combat effectiveness will be even more impossible; Even if their individual ability and new weapons and equipment are advanced, but their strength is only so many, we can see it at a glance! ”

"As long as we can successfully disperse their forces on multiple fronts, then the German army will gradually be divided and surrounded by us and gradually wiped out!"

"And as long as we defeat Germany, the most powerful country in the Axis, then the remaining Italy and Japan have nothing to fear!"

"Especially Italy, which does not have the slightest will to fight, as well as the combined forces of the US military in the southwestern Pacific and other regions, Australia and Canada, are also annihilating a large number of Japanese troops, and the Japanese army still has a lot of troops that are contained by China, so I am not worried about whether these two Axis countries can defeat them at all!"

"In short, defeating Germany is the most important key to ending this damn war, there is no one!"

After listening, Montgomery said all his inner thoughts in one breath.

"It's a pity that we started the battle well, but after the Battle of Sicily, we suffered huge setbacks one after another, and were routed by the Germans several times!"

"And now not only Turkey has ignored us, but even the German Axis powers have not betrayed the German army!"

But before Lt. Gen. Bertram Ramsay could answer, Montgomery continued.

Only this time his tone was a little lost and lost, but soon his tone became positive.

As for Bertram Ramsay, he had been patiently listening to Montgomery's words, whether he was saying negative or positive, and did not interject.

In short, he just wanted Montgomery to speak freely and pour out all the true thoughts that were closed in his heart, so that his psychological burden could be relaxed.

In this regard, Montgomery, who had been talking about his depressed thoughts for a long time, also glanced at Bertram Ramsay with grateful eyes to show his gratitude.
