Chapter 825: Barton

"No, of course not!" General Zhu An replied angrily: "General, what do you think of our French army? We are not Italians! ”

"And where else can they go?" Patton asked with a straight face: "General, you must know that this is not a trivial matter. I'm responsible for the entire Allies! ”

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, General Juan had no choice but to reply: "General Patton, in fact, I don't know where they are now, but I know where they are going!" ”

"Where are you going?"

"Palermo!" General Juan replied.

"Oh, Palermo." Barton replied, and it was only after a while that he realized what Palermo was, and exclaimed, "What? Palermo? Are you talking about the port of Palermo? ”

"Yes!" General Juan nodded.

"What are they going to do there?" Barton asked, "How did they get there?" ”

"To occupy, of course, General Patton!" General Juan proudly said: "While you are still resisting the German attack, we are already attacking!" ”

"Bullshit!" Patton's grumpy man, he almost roared at General Juan, "You guys are crazy, how can you do this? It's okay for you to want to die, but have you ever thought that doing so could disrupt our entire plans and even bring us uncertain dangers! ”

"General Patton!" General Juan responded: "What other danger can we pose to the Allies? The French army was an insignificant part of the plan, wasn't it? As you said, we are here to help the U.S. military wipe out the remnants of the enemy, and we are now on a very 'important' mission to deliver supplies...... As for the danger, I can't agree with that, because if we don't succeed, it's just that we've lost a division, and it has nothing to do with you. If it succeeds, it will only help the Allies! ”

Hearing this, Barton couldn't help but be stunned, and things seemed to be what General Zhu An said.

But Patton ignored this, and he was dazed and shouted angrily at General Juan: "What about Zhang Chi? That Chinese major general, I want to talk to him! ”

"I'm sorry, General Patton!" General Zhu An replied: "If you want General Zhang Chi to side with you, I think you will be disappointed." Because this plan to seize Palermo was precisely from General Zhang Chi, and ...... This team is still under his command! ”

"You mean ......" Patton looked at General Juan with an incredulous expression: "Zhang personally led the team to attack Palermo?" ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Barton was cold, because he knew that Zhang Chi was not a reckless person, and it could even be said that Barton had been observing Zhang Chi for a while, and since the beginning of the Pacific War, Barton has been paying attention to Zhang Chi's performance on the battlefield, and it can even be said to be research.

"Okay!" After a pause, Barton asked General Juan: "Then, tell me about your plan to seize Palermo!" ”

General Juan was a little surprised by Patton's transformation, but he did not delve into it, and soon revealed Zhang Chi's plan to Patton.

After listening to this plan, Barton couldn't help but nod and praised, "Yes, this is indeed possible." Just ......"

"It's just not supposed to be done by the Zoaf Corps, is it?" General Juan asked.

"With all due respect, General!" "It's not that I look down on the French," Patton said, "but ...... It's a very dangerous task, you know, then the Zoaf corps may be besieged by German and Italian troops, and there will be no reinforcements for a certain period of time, which is not something that an ordinary army can do! ”

"I couldn't agree more!" General Zhu An replied: "But General Patton, under the training of Major General Zhang Chi, the Zoaf Corps is no longer what it used to be, and I believe that they can impress everyone in this battle!" ”

"I hope so!" Patton replied, "And now we don't have a choice, do we?" ”

Then General Patton complained: "You ought to have told me about this plan earlier, and it might have a better chance of success!" ”

"Quite the opposite!" General Juan objected: "If this plan had been told to you in advance, then perhaps it would not have been implemented at all!" ”

Speaking of which, General Zhu An will not go on.

General Patton was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

General Juan was right when he said that the British would not allow this adventurous plan, especially since it might also make the United States and France a great contribution.

Then General Patton thought about the end result of this, which might force the Germans to move their main forces eastward, that is, in the direction of Messina, which the British had captured, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Okay!" General Patton said, "I don't know about this, understand?" ”

"Of course!" General Zhu An nodded knowingly.

General Patton walked to the door, thought for a moment and then turned back: "General, know that we are allies, and if something happens to you, such as if one of your armies is in danger on the battlefield and needs assistance, we as allies will not give it up...... I mean, whatever the situation, you can ask us for help, like air support or some kind of coordination! ”

"Of course, General!" General Zhu An couldn't help but show joy: "Thank you very much, General!" ”

"Hmm!" General Patton shook General Juan's hand: "Next time, I don't want this to happen again!" ”

"Yes, General!"

After Patton left, General Juan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a good thing, Patton's words just now are actually telling Juan that the U.S. military will provide support to the Zoaf Corps when they attack Palermo, which can almost be said to provide an air umbrella for the Zoaf Corps, so the possibility of success of this plan will be greatly increased.

But it seems not surprising that Patton would do this, first of all, the American character is actually like this, they do not like the kind of subordinates who obey orders in a proper manner, just like Patton insisted on sending the 1st Infantry Division into battle if they did not obey orders, they prefer the kind of people who are adventurous and challenged, which is the complete opposite of the British.

More importantly, the interests of the United States and France are tied up in this regard, and if the Zoaf Corps is defeated, the United States will lose face and even bear part of the responsibility. If the Zoaf Corps wins, then the benefits of the United States will be greater...... This will not only make the US military famous in one fell swoop, but also crack down on the British who are arbitrarily angry with the United States, so why not?!
