In the original history, especially in 1944, Eisenhower did not need to prove himself to the British, because after a series of victories in battles, such as the North African Campaign, the Tunisian Campaign, the Sicilian Campaign, the Italian Campaign, etc., he and Churchill had already established a very trusting and close cooperative relationship.

Even Montgomery, though the two of them were not particularly on good terms, or were obedient to that kind; But they both treat each other with courtesy and respect for each other.

Moreover, Cunningham also respected Eisenhower very much, especially Ted became a close friend with Eisenhower.

However, except for the new British Chief of General Staff, Viscount Alain Brooke, everyone else preferred Eisenhower; Even the much-talked, very fastidious British staff officers were able to get along.

But now because of Chen Yanlong's crossing, the war on the eastern and western fronts has been disrupted and chaotic, and the Anglo-American Allied forces commanded by Eisenhower have been constantly frustrated.

For this reason, the trust of British and American officers, as in the original history, did not appear.

At present, the bickering and rebuttal between British and American officers are a little more intense, especially the battle plan put forward by Eisenhower, and many British officers and staff officers will jump out to oppose it at the first time.

So when Eisenhower and Marshall finished inspecting the training of the army, they held a combat meeting.

This is how many British officers and staff officers annoyingly jumped out against Eisenhower, saying that his battle plan was too bold and unrealistic.

Of course, the words of these British officers who jumped out were unpleasant, and the US military side immediately jumped out and some officers refuted and supported Eisenhower.

All in all, the entire combat conference room was noisy and shouting, and the situation was very chaotic.

In this regard, Eisenhower was unexpected, and he was also very shocked by the change of face of these Englishmen, which really made him uncomfortable and surprised.

For such a noisy scene, Admiral Marshall was also very helpless and disappointed.

Moreover, he also had a somewhat bad impression of Eisenhower's opinion, because he felt that if it were not for Eisenhower's leadership, he would not have lost the war against Germany one after another, and it also aroused the opposition and disfavor of so many British officers.

But such an idea, he just came out of it.

Because whatever Eisenhower said was pulled up by him, it was up to the owner to beat the dog.

Now these British are insulting their most promising right-hand man in front of him, isn't this a slap in his face?

Moreover, Admiral Marshall did not like these British Yankees very much, so he immediately stood up and loudly stopped their invective and opposition from these British officers and staff officers when their scolding was most fierce and hideous.

All British officers and staff officers wanted to say a few words about Admiral Marshall's sudden attack, and Viscount Alan Brooke, Chief of Staff, who had always disliked Admiral Marshall and Eisenhower, wanted to jump out and be the first to respond to the abuse.

Unfortunately, he and the other British officers were stopped by Alexander and Montgomery.

Because now Britain does not have many weapons and equipment, and it does not have many resources to squander; In a word, since the war with Germany, Britain has not had much confidence to argue with the United States.

In particular, most of their weapons and equipment now have to rely on the United States for support, and if they lose a large country like the United States, which has strong industrial capacity and a large population, to assist in the war against Germany, I am afraid that Britain will be defeated by the German army led by Chen Yanlong.

So when Montgomery and the others came out to stop them, the British officers and staff officers who had just shouted for the most pleasure also restrained their arrogance for the time being, and stood aside with their mouths closed, waiting for Montgomery to speak, or what was to come.

"I agree with the proposal made by Commander Eisenhower! Now we can indeed take advantage of Hitler's dispersal of forces to Morocco and the Middle East, to concentrate superior forces and strike back against Italy and France by surprise! ”

"Because according to the information of our intelligence department, there are not many Italian garrisons now, only less than 5 infantry divisions led by Kesselring, and these troops are still very many new soldiers, and there are less than a third of the veterans!"

"So I'm very supportive of Eisenhower's proposal, and we're going to start a surprise operation right away, and the faster we can, the better!"

But when everyone had calmed down and stopped making noise, Montgomery responded loudly in a surprising endorsement of Eisenhower's offer of war.

The audience was silent and could be heard.

All of them were shocked, stunned, speechless, and incredulous.

Even Eisenhower was dumbfounded for a moment, full of disbelief.
