"Hmmm! Good! You all want to fight, so let's fight! ”

After listening carefully to the angry words of the two of them, Eisenhower smiled very calmly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh! How did you make it so easy for us to deal with the Germans? Don't you have to report to President Roosevelt? Commander? ”

Cal? Andrew? Spatz was shocked by the ease of his expression.

"Oh! I am now the commander of the U.S. forces in the European theater and the commander of the Allied forces in the North African theater! So for such a small matter, I believe I still have the right to make a decision! And our Eskimo operations are in full swing, so we can't disrupt our deployment to the Germans! And in order to pave the way for the Sicilian landing operation, we will definitely seize the island of Pantelleria! Besides, you're right, our 12th Bomber Group can't be sacrificed in vain, and no one will avenge them! ”

Eisenhower shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly.

"Then we really send a large-scale air force to fight back against the Germans!"

Cal? Andrew? Spatz and Arthur in disbelief? Traverse? Harris looked at each other for a moment, then said nervously.

"Go ahead! Go ahead! Are you two still afraid that they won't dare to go? ”

Eisenhower waved at both of them as he kept his attention back on his desk; In all kinds of materials, he said impatiently.

"Who is afraid of those Germans! Let's go now! You wait for our good news! ”

Hear, Carl? Andrew? Spatz and Arthur? Traverse? Harris said angrily in unison.

"Hmm!"

Eisenhower agreed softly, and ignored the reactions of both of them.

See this, Carl? Andrew? Spatz and Arthur? Traverse? The expression on Harris's face changed in an instant, and it was wonderful; Their faces turned red with embarrassment, and suddenly they turned blue with anger.

Then the two of them went into a rage, and immediately called Eisenhower's temporary headquarters in a muffled manner.

"Germans! Wait until we send an army to destroy you!" ”

As soon as you get out the door, Carl? Andrew? Spatz's deafening roar of rage suddenly resounded through the entire barracks road.

For a moment, all the officers and soldiers stared at him in amazement.

"Humph! With the B-17 bombers of our Eighth Air Force, the fierce firepower of the 13 machine guns they carry, and the sturdy fuselage; We could absolutely completely destroy the German M-109 fighters, and our B-17 bombers could do a relaxing waltz deep into German airspace during the day without escort. ”

Cal? Andrew? Spatz ignored the soldiers staring at him, and continued to mumble angrily.

"We feel that it would be better for you to learn from the night saturation bombing of our British Empire! Commander Karl! ”

Arthur? Traverse? Harris disagreed, retorting.

"Tsk! The B-17 bombers of our Eighth Air Force, both in terms of firepower, speed, and bomb load; Better than your British Beagle bombers! So who do you think we are and who should we learn from? ”

Listen, Carl? Andrew? Spatz scoffed at it.

"Hey! Since you said that your B-17 bomber is so powerful, let's have a competition to see who has the best record against Germany! What do you think? ”

Arthur? Traverse? Not to be outdone, Harris bet.

"Compare it! Look who's afraid of whom! What to do with the one who loses? ”

Cal? Andrew? Spatz was also competitive, and he immediately brought it up.

"If you lose, you will give all the other air forces a banquet to apologize and admit defeat!"

Arthur? Traverse? Harris replied confidently.

"Good! Deal! My 8th Air Force and I are waiting for your apologies and feasts! ”

Cal? Andrew? Spatz sneered with confidence.

"You...... Good! We'll see you on the battlefield! ”

Arthur? Traverse? Harris shuddered with anger.

"Hahaha! We wait! ”

Cal? Andrew? Spatz laughed heartlessly.

"You wait for me!"

Arthur? Traverse? Harris said with black anger on his face.

After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to reply, he turned around and left angrily without looking back.

At the same time, on the airfield of the British army in the afternoon of the same day, there were a large number of "Lanchester", "Halifax", "Stirling" and "Wellington"; One after another, they took off and headed for the island of Pantelleria, the occupied area of the Italian army in Sicily, and the airport.

For these bomber groups with a large bomb load, long range, but weak self-defense, Karl? Andrew? Spatz grinned nonchalantly.

Immediately he also sent out all the B-17 bomber groups of his Eighth Air Force; Prepare for a surprise attack on the airfields and industrial areas around Sicily by the German and Italian armies.

For the confident Carl? Andrew? Spatz, for his part, did not ask Eisenhower to send him a large number of P-51 Mustang fighters and B-47 Thunder fighters, two long-range fighters.

For this reason, he is about to try to suffer a painful price of heavy losses in the next battle.

At this time, Eisenhower sent someone to monitor their every move, although he did not stop their retaliation, but it did not mean that he did not care about this matter at all.

In fact, the reason why he had just agreed so quickly and pretending to be easy to their combat operations was because of the last time he was there on the Bang Kok Peninsula with the Germans; The rate of battle losses in the large-scale battles of the sea and air made Roosevelt and Churchill quite disagreeable with him.

Moreover, they also sent a telegram to him last night asking him whether they had carried out a counterattack operation for the 12th Bomber Group of the US Army to be completely annihilated by the Germans.

Their inquiries embarrassed him! That's why he's such a good guy today, and he immediately agreed to Carl? Andrew? Spatz's suggestion for the two of them to retaliate against the war.

"Should I remove another batch of P-51 Mustang fighters from the Eighth Air Force and B-47 Thunder fighters to assist them in sneak attacks? ”

Eisenhower couldn't help but feel uneasy as he watched more and more British and American bombers take off from the airfield.

"Hmmm! So decide! It's better to send a small batch of P-51 Mustang fighters and B-47 "Thunder" fighters to escort them! If something happens, I'm afraid I, the commander of the Allied forces, will be in trouble! He may even be removed from his post! ”

In the end, Eisenhower made up his mind.
