When Eisenhower and his son met with Admiral Marshall, after a brief chat, Eisenhower was separated by Admiral Marshall.

The others continued to inspect the army's training, and John followed them on the tour, without disturbing the private chats between his father, Eisenhower and Admiral Marshall.

"The recent situation in the Sicilian campaign and the naval battle in the Mediterranean, it seems that both have failed?"

When no one hindered the two of them from talking, Admiral Marshall spoke softly.

"Yes! Sir! It's my incompetence! ”

Eisenhower honestly blamed himself.

"It's a good thing to know how to take responsibility, and I'm not wrong, but now I want to know if you have any good combat advice? We can't afford to fail much! Ike! ”

Admiral Marshall said in a deep tone.

"I plan to take advantage of the fact that Hitler is sending Rommel and Guderian to Morocco and the Middle East to surprise Italy and France! How do you feel, sir! ”

Eisenhower got straight to the point and said what he had in mind.

"Hmmm! What a bold suggestion! Are you sure about it? You're usually a very cautious person! ”

Hearing such a bold proposal, Admiral Marshall immediately stared at Eisenhower in surprise and asked.

"You can try it, because this is an opportunity that is very difficult for us to get, especially in the case of Hitler's endless new weapons and equipment, we should take advantage of the fact that his front is too long, concentrate superior forces, and attack his weak forces! That's how we can win! ”

Eisenhower said solemnly.

"You give me a detailed combat plan, and after I and the staff department read it, we will immediately hold a meeting to discuss the feasibility!"

"President Roosevelt has been following the war in Europe, especially the recent succession of military defeats!"

Admiral Marshall also said in a serious tone.

"Okay, but for our operational meeting, I think it's best to start discussing it in the evening, and it's better to launch a sneak attack before the Germans can react! In this way, we have a great chance of success, otherwise we will fail! ”

Eisenhower said intently and very seriously to Admiral Marshall.

"Good! I'll be on your sidelines, and I'll listen to you and host you! ”

Looking at Eisenhower's persistent eyes and firm tone, Admiral Marshall nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you! The trust of the sir! This time my surprise attack will be successful, because I believe that if the Germans stretch the battle line too far, and their troop movements and supplies cannot follow, there will be absolutely no way to resist the attack of our overwhelming superior forces! ”

Seeing that the other party trusted him so much, Eisenhower was immediately very grateful to Admiral Marshall.

"Then do it! You are an officer whom I supported and presided over, so you don't have to be afraid of what will happen after failure, you just need to let go and do it! Like a brave soldier, let go and rush to the front line to take out the enemy in front of you! ”

Admiral Marshall gazed at Eisenhower with encouraging eyes, encouraging him.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Eisenhower straightened up like a recruit's egg, gave a big military salute to Admiral Marshall, and replied in a loud voice.

"Good! Then we will now go over and inspect the training of the army, and then immediately convene an urgent operational meeting to try to win the liberation of Western Europe by all personnel by making a surprise attack on Italy and France, and quickly opening up a second battlefield! ”

Admiral Marshall also seemed to be infected by Eisenhower's sudden burst of self-confidence, and gently patted the other party's shoulder with high spirits, and said with a bright smile.

"Yes! Sir! ”

Eisenhower also cheerfully agreed.

At this moment, his heart is also constantly perfecting his surprise attack on Italy and France's combat operations.

Because he felt that his future career as an officer might lie in his current decision, and in this surprise attack that was being evenly measured and prepared in his heart.

So at this moment, Eisenhower secretly prayed to God, hoping that God would bless him with a successful battle.
