Chapter 894: Showdown

What happened next went smoothly, and the scientists and experts were able to complete the transfer in just a few days, but because there were too many people...... Although there were only more than 300 scientists, all of them dragged their families with them, and some even brought their relatives, so the number soared to more than 3,000 people, and they also carried all kinds of salutes in large bags.

As a result, Zhang Chi had no choice but to let them take a freighter to Okinawa.

For the safety of the freighter, Zhang Chi also specially transferred two warships to escort them...... You must know that this is a talent who laid the foundation for the military industrial system of the expeditionary force, and more importantly, it is also related to the reputation of the expeditionary force, if you swear that you can live a comfortable and safe life in Okinawa, but there is an accident on the way, which scientists dare to go to Okinawa easily in the future.

Although General Giro didn't care much about the issue of talents, this group of people still felt very painful after being swept away by Zhang Chi...... Because as General Giraud said before, this group can be said to be one of the few elites in Algeria.

However, General Giraud quickly figured it out, compared to having a fighter production line...... These talents seem a little insignificant, at least in the eyes of General Giraud.

General Ji Luo was still a little uneasy, and then asked Zhang Chi a few times: "Major General, ......what is the matter of the fighter production line?"

"Don't worry!" Zhang Chi said: "Even if Okinawa doesn't install a production line, I will install it for Algiers, Algiers is the place where fighters are more needed, isn't it?" ”

Zhang Chi's words are not false, because in his eyes, talents are far more important than fighters, especially systematic talents.

Receiving Zhang Chi's promise, General Giraud was of course ecstatic.

And Zhang Chi really did what he said, when the production line from the United States was approved, he really shipped the production line to Algiers instead of Okinawa first.

When General Giro was busy setting up factories to produce fighter planes, Zhang Chi contacted Okinawa to organize a large number of intellectuals to learn from those French experts...... Either as a student or as an assistant, the purpose is to master these skills and cultivate more related talents.

And Zhang Chi also repeatedly told Wang Mazi: No matter what advanced things the Yankees send in the future, these things made in their hands cannot be wasted, even if they lose money!

All of this was arranged, and Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Zhang Chi doesn't like to toss these, Zhang Chi prefers to fight a war, and other things are worried about others...... But the situation forced Zhang Chi to cover everything.

Sometimes Zhang Chi wonders, what if he lets it go? Follow these developments that you have made...... Will the result be better or worse?

Zhang Chi didn't know, so Zhang Chi couldn't let go, so he could only go forward cautiously all the way like protecting a newly grown child!

Just as Zhang Chi was thinking wildly, the phone on the desktop rang.

"Major General!" On the other end of the phone came Patton's voice: "We were told to go back to Sicily for a meeting, the plane is ready, and it will take off in an hour!" ”

"Okay, see you at the airport!" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Chi knew that it was finally time for the United States to have a showdown with the United Kingdom.

Zhang Chi guessed correctly, Eisenhower couldn't bear it anymore at this point, or he wanted to see what excuses the British would make for this battle.

There were not many people who participated in the meeting, and the British and American sides were translators and recorders except for a few chief officials...... After all, this meeting is related to the strategic direction of the future operations of the entire Allied forces, so it must be kept strictly secret.

"General Alexander, General Montgomery!" At the beginning of the meeting, Eisenhower said bluntly: "It is now three months since the day we attacked Italy...... We are still more than 80 kilometers away from Rome, and the distance we can advance every day is only a few tens or even a dozen meters. I wonder, is this a quagmire? ”

Alexander and Montgomery looked at each other, and then Alexander replied, "Ike, there are always surprises on the battlefield, don't you......"

"That's right!" Eisenhower interrupted Alexander: "There are indeed accidents on the battlefield, but now they are not so simple as accidents!" ”

With that, Eisenhower held up the minutes on the table and said, "I think you remember this, and it has your signature...... Three months ago, you thought that it would not take more than a month to occupy all of Italy, and that the total casualties would not exceed 5,000, and that the whole battle would end with an uprising of the Italian army and an avalanche of German collapse, but it turns out that you are wrong, we have been attacking here for three months with more than twice as many casualties as you expected, and less than half of the results! ”

Eisenhower slammed the minutes on the table and said, "So, this is not an accident, this is a mistake you made!" Our Major General Zhang Chi even guessed the 'accident' you were talking about? Gentlemen, are there any surprises that can be guessed? No, it's not a fucking accident! ”

"General!" "We don't need to argue with each other about this, we didn't expect things to be like this, things should have been like ...... us," Alexander said.

"No, you thought of it!" Eisenhower replied with no condescension: "You just want to drag this damn war a little longer, so that the Germans and the Soviets will be defeated, aren't you?" ”

Eisenhower finally got the point.

"No, it's slander! You don't have the right to say that! Alexander, of course, will not admit it.

"Then tell me why!" Eisenhower responded, "Tell me why you paint a picture of a great picture in front of everyone, but the truth is hell...... Hundreds and thousands of soldiers are dying senselessly on the battlefield. Gentlemen, you may think that this is a strategic success, but have you ever thought about how much risk this would pose to this war? What if the Germans crushed the USSR? Or did the USSR also take a negative attitude with this negative attitude of ours? What will happen then? Everyone just shouted and didn't attack, so that the Germans would have a respite, and when they had recovered from their wounds, they would turn their guns on us and drop bombs on our heads! Is that what you want?! ”

Alexander and Montgomery were speechless, because they knew that what Eisenhower said was possible.
