"We now have the strength of the 21st Army, the British 2nd Army, the Canadian 1st Army, and the Airborne 1st Army; And apart from Patton's 7th Army, are there any other units to support the operation? ”

Soon after, however, Montgomery continued to ask.

"And the naval forces of Hewitt and Cunningham, as well as our reserves!"

"The total strength is more than 400,000, which can be compared with the last time we dispatched the 15th Army Group of almost 500,000 troops, and even this time our weapons and equipment are better than the last time, but we have more recruits!"

"In addition, Eisenhower is also rebuilding the Third Army of the US Army, which has more than 7 corps and 52 divisions (32 infantry divisions, 18 armored divisions and 3 airborne divisions, with more than 400,000 people, which is our most powerful reserve force!).

"However, this time in the Sicilian and Cassino battles, this reorganized army group was not dispatched to support the operation!"

"They're now in Solcombe, Dartmouth, Poole, Weymouth, Liverpool on our home turf in England; Cardiff, Swansea and other places are massing, and even our Queen Elizabeth and Queen Maria are involved in transporting them! ”

"Because each ship can transport a division, it only takes five to six days to get from New York to the Atlantic!"

"In fact, the U.S. military was originally preparing to mobilize more than 1.5 million troops, and 90 divisions came to our Britain to assist in the operation, but because of the Pacific War and many problems on the transportation line, the U.S. military can only transport 15 to 22 divisions to our British mainland for reserve training!"

"Of course, by the end of this year, we can send another 38 divisions to come to us and help us open up the second battlefield in Europe together!"

Bertram Ramsay thought for a moment and replied.

"To mobilize so many troops, wouldn't it be necessary to use at least 30 airfields and more than 1,000 ships, as well as a large number of warehouses and hospitals!"

"And I'm afraid that a lot of food will need to be consumed at that time, and what about our logistical supply lines? There is no movement to keep up with so many troops! ”

Montgomery was surprised for a moment, then immediately asked.

"This question will only be asked to Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill, because this matter is only necessary for the two of them to communicate!"

"I also heard about it from Cunningham, because if they want to mobilize a large fleet to transport it, they have to go through Cunningham!"

Bertram Ramsay replied.

"Wait a minute, how do you think our first attack should go?"

Montgomery glanced at the other party and then changed the subject.

"If this is Normandy, then we can use 8 to 10 bomber squadrons to drop more than 300 tons of bombs in just over an hour, then we can bomb Normandy into a rotten scorched earth, or even a corpse-strewn ruin!"

"But because of Sicily here, because the last time we sent our air force to bomb, the Germans also sent a large number of new aircraft and missile groups to counterattack us!"

"So if we want to win the final victory, I'm afraid we must first seize sea power and air supremacy, otherwise if we rashly let the army carry out landing operations, I am afraid we will all die in vain!"

"Even if you can smoothly seize a certain beachhead, I'm afraid it will cost a huge amount of troop consumption and sacrifice!"

"I personally don't recommend such a loss of troops, and I don't really want to see such a situation in front of me!"

Bertram Ramsay said his personal thoughts without the slightest concealment.

At the same time, his gaze shifted to Sicily, where everything was dark and quiet, as if there was no sign of life, an uninhabited island floating quietly above the wind-swept sea.

Let the rough sea wash over and over, and the darkness of the night shrouded in denseness.

"Then let's attack our air force and airborne forces first!"

"At the same time, our fleet is also preparing for naval artillery bombardment support operations, as well as amphibious landing operations!"

"Even if we are going to die on the battlefield in the early hours of this morning, we will definitely not be able to retreat like last time, and retreat like a mountain of defeat!"

After hearing this, Montgomery stared sharply at Bertram Ramsay, and immediately made a decisive decision.

"Hmmm! I'll give your orders right away, Commander! ”

"May God bless us for invincibility!"

Bertram Ramsay nodded lightly in agreement.

Then he turned and left, ready to give the order to fight.

Montgomery, on the other hand, had eyes as sharp as an eagle swooping on them, and his sharpness was exposed.

"I just want to win this battle, not lose!"

"Because we can't afford to fail anymore!"

Finally, Montgomery sighed to himself.

Then he left his command room and went to the aircraft cabin to encourage and see the pilots who were preparing to attack and fight on the carrier.

As for the airborne troops, they are in a group of black-pressed transport planes, ready to go.
