At the time of Barton's exclamation, he had returned to Algiers, the capital of Algeria, one in northwestern Africa; It is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Tunisia, Libya to the east, and Niger to the south; Mali is bordered by Mauritania and a port city bordered by Morocco and Western Sahara to the west.

Shortly after arriving here, Eisenhower received news of the retreat of 2 Montgomery and the information that the British 1st Army Tank Brigade and the 70th Infantry Division had annihilated most of the German army.

Eisenhower was immediately angry and worried.

"What should I do? How could the Germans suddenly be so powerful and annihilate the strength of our two divisions at such a rapid pace! If it weren't for their information being so backward, how could they not know that the Germans had already lurked a large number of elite troops in Sicily, waiting for the arrival and entry of our allies, and then they immediately launched an ambush, this calculation is really good! Hitler! I don't look at you anymore! ”

"A cunning old fox like you, I really can't take it lightly! Otherwise, it's really dead and I don't know how! ”

Eisenhower, meanwhile, was frustrated, pacing around his office and muttering to himself.

"Whew! It seems that I am going to send a telegram to President Roosevelt again to report bad news, and it seems that my position as Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces in the Mediterranean should soon come to an end, and it will be over! ”

After a long time, Eisenhower sighed heavily.

At that moment, he was not only exhausted, but also felt old and sad as if he had aged for 10 years all of a sudden.

But in this moment of annoyance, a herald suddenly hurried to his office, handed him a telegram, and reported, "Oh no! Commander! General Patton's troops were not only under the general attack of the elite SS units of the German army, but also bombed by the German aviation units, and the situation was very critical, and they now sent a telegram to ask for the support of the aviation units, as well as the order to retreat, and cover! ”

"What! Damn the Germans! Do they still want to take Patton's troops together, or do they suffer heavy losses? ”

"Hitler, you bastard, murderer! I can't spare you! ”

After hearing this, Eisenhower's eyes widened and he roared like thunder.

"Then how do I reply to General Patton now? Your Excellency, Commander! ”

Seeing this, the herald, who was full of anxiety, asked softly and timidly.

"Send me aviation units to support them in their safe evacuation immediately! In addition, let Admiral Cunningham, and General Hewitt send ships and transports to pick up Patton and Montgomery's forces and evacuate! ”

"I want them to retreat immediately, not to fight Sicily, but to maintain enough viability for our allies to fight back in the future!"

Eisenhower replied decisively.

"Yes! Your Excellency, Commander! I'll go right away! ”

As soon as the words fell, the herald immediately gave a respectful military salute.

Then, with Eisenhower's approval, he hurried away and sent a telegram to Patton, Montgomery, and Cunning.

As for Eisenhower, who was still restraining his anger, he gradually calmed down, and slowly walked to the telegraph room, and asked the telegraph operator in the telegraph room to send a transoceanic telegram to President Roosevelt to report on the war situation.

At that moment, Eisenhower also did not know how to truthfully report such unfavorable results to President Roosevelt, and how to maintain his current position.

However, no matter how depressed, negative and troubled Eisenhower was, he finally reported the most real situation of the war in the present, all truthfully, without the slightest deception.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood was also full of worry, and changed to an optimistic and calm state of mind.

"Hey! Since I don't have the ability to change the change of my official position now, I should do my best to evacuate all the remnants of Montgomery and Patton before I am removed from my official position. May God be with me and bless me with success! ”

At the same time, Eisenhower clung to his amulet and prayed to God with anxiety.
