Eisenhower first took his son to see Patton, who was riding in a command car and followed by the motorcycle guards, vigorously honking his horn all the way around the troops he was training.

After a few words with the grinning and very rough Barton; Eisenhower introduced his son John to General Omar Bradley, Brooke, British political adviser Harold Macmillan, 15th Army commander Wade Haslip, British adjutant James Gault, commander of the US First Division Allen and others.

"Father! I feel like you've changed! ”

As John and Eisenhower became acquainted, he called each other father instead of Captain Dao, as he did at West Point.

"Hmmm! Changed? What's changed? ”

Hearing his youngest son speak so strangely, Eisenhower was puzzled.

"When I came here, I heard my mother and brother Arthur say that when my father first joined the war, you were less confident and frustrated with the difficult battles you were about to face; Sometimes it is even easy to suddenly lose your temper and be in a hurry for quick success; But sometimes I hesitate and don't know if the battle plan I have made is right! ”

John blushed and responded timidly and truthfully.

“......”

Faced with his son's confession of being so straightforward and unrelenting, Eisenhower was suddenly speechless, and his face turned red.

At the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but thrust a few times, and his head was full of black lines.

"Ahem! This one...... How do you feel about how I've changed now? ”

It took a long time for Eisenhower to reluctantly open his mouth to break the embarrassment.

"Now I think you're amazing! Father! Grandma is not only confident, but also able to interact with those powerful people every day, and your every move has attracted the attention of the world, I heard my mother say that a relatively powerful company in Hollywood has recently come to the door and said that a huge amount of money will be given to us, so that they can shoot your legendary movies for your father, especially the legendary movies about front-line combat! ”

"So before I came here, my mother also asked me to ask you if you would like to accept the film fee from that Hollywood studio!"

In this regard, he stared at Eisenhower with admiration.

Seeing his son's sudden and contrasting performance, Eisenhower was also happy from displeasure.

"John! You're saying I'm a celebrity now, and as public figures we can't shoot legends for money, and if I do, we might leak our military secrets; Then it will be very unfavorable for our combat deployment! ”

"And our recent offensive against the Germans has not been smooth, and it is all carried out with losses and losses!"

"I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time because of these unfavorable wars; Now I spend every day walking, working, holding combat meetings, constantly patrolling the front line, and working with the officers and men of various units to boost morale and deal with armaments. ”

"Originally, we planned to use the overwhelming superiority of our navy and air force to completely blockade Germany, and to hand over the large-scale operations on the ground to the Soviet army, which had a large number of personnel!"

"It's a pity that I never dreamed that Hitler didn't know where to get a large number of new weapons and equipment, and he counterattacked us again and again, so that we were killed by surprise and suffered heavy casualties!"

But soon Eisenhower sighed deeply, and with deep exhaustion, he spoke out the troubles that had accumulated in his heart.

"What are you going to do now, father? Is there any good workaround? ”

After hearing this, John, who had just admired his father's outstanding achievements, immediately became worried about his father.

"I intend to take advantage of the fact that the Germans are now stretching their fronts to attack Italy and France; Kill them by surprise and catch them off guard! ”

"But my bold battle plan is full of great risks; If this sneak attack fails, my position as commander of the Allied forces will also be ruined! ”

Eisenhower smiled slightly, and continued to speak his heart to his son without shying away.

"Perhaps father, you can consult with Admiral Marshall, Admiral King, and Admiral Arnold, and I am sure they will give you the best advice! Father! ”

"Because they are all good commanders, I hope they can help you......"

John suggested anxiously and with concern.

"Hmmm! I think so too! ”

Eisenhower nodded in agreement.

"But father, I feel that if you want to raid Italy and France, if you don't have air supremacy, sea supremacy, powerful weapons and equipment, and morale, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!"

But as soon as the words fell, John suddenly remembered the elements of military operations he had learned at West Point and reminded.

"Hey! It seems that my little John still learned a little bit of useful military tactics at West Point! ”

Upon hearing this, Eisenhower immediately grinned happily.

"Learning from my father's appreciation, I've only learned a little bit of it, and I haven't arrived home yet!"

John immediately replied with an embarrassed snort.

At this moment, Montgomery, Smith, Ramsay, Leigh Mallory, and Kenneth Strong, the chief of military intelligence of the High Command of the Anglo-American Allied Expeditionary Forces, and a large number of high-ranking staff officers, accompanied Admiral Marshall, appeared in front of Eisenhower.

So the father and son immediately got out of the car and walked towards the high-ranking officers and staff officers with smiles on their faces.
