Chapter 952 952 We are restoring history
London.
At the end of the day's fighting, Charlotte showered and changed her clothes as usual, and then went to meet the generals.
As soon as Charlotte entered the door, she saw that all the generals were frowning.
She took a slight breath and was mentally prepared, and then asked, "Gentlemen, why are you all so worried?" Is something happening in North Africa? The battle line was broken? ”
"No, at the moment, there are no big problems." Eisenhower replied, "It's just...... It's just a bit of an unexpected situation, which makes the situation a little tricky. ”
"Let's get it straight, what the hell is going on?" Charlotte was a little impatient, her patience with the way she spoke was getting worse and worse lately.
"That's right," Eisenhower's expression and voice were rather heavy, "our commander in North Africa, General George Patton, was killed early this morning. ”
"What was it?" Charlotte questioned her ears and asked.
"He was hit and killed, the enemy raided the location of his headquarters, and then he was hit and killed by an enemy wheeled armored vehicle in his headquarters and residence."
"Where did you get killed?"
"At our own headquarters," Eisenhower added, after a pause, "that's what the report we have says." ”
Charlotte was directly speechless, she was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Then who is in command in North Africa now?" ”
"Patton's deputy, Bradley, is in command."
"That guy is okay as a politician, but he can't be relied on as a general." Charlotte shook her head vigorously, "Immediately choose someone who can fight, send it over, be quick!" ”
Omar? Nelson? Bradley has a "Nelson" as his middle name, but as Charlotte put it, he is more of a politician than a soldier. In another time and space, Bradley's results were basically achieved in the later stages of the Allied war, in the Normandy area, although he took the opportunity of the German counterattack to carry out a counter-encirclement of the German army, but allowed half of the German army to successfully break through with a huge advantage in troops. Later, after the setback of Operation Market Garden in Montgomery, he took over the command of the Allied offensive, but was still blocked on the banks of the Rhine, unable to advance half a step. Later, he misjudged the intentions of the Germans, and deployed only four mediocre second-line troops near Bastone. If it weren't for the fact that the 101st Division was too capable of fighting, and the German army really didn't have much left, Bradley would probably have become a backstabber, and from then on he would have been stored as a negative textbook in the textbooks of the West Point Military Academy.
Towards the end of the Ardennes campaign, Bradley again led the attack, but it was still frustrated.
But Bradley was lucky, although the attacks were frustrated again and again, and although he almost made the mistake of leading the four armies of the US army to be surrounded because of the light enemy, he was always able to reap the credit. Bradley initially made a name for himself in North Africa, but when he began to take military command, the overall picture of the North African battlefield was already decided. When Rommel and Montgomery were at their hottest in La Aman, Bradley was the commander of an infantry division on the American mainland, training troops and running drills every day. When the Allies landed in Morocco and Algeria, he was still a division commander on American soil. Later, when Patton organized Operation Capley and Operation Boxer, he went to the front line in North Africa, but at that time he was Patton's deputy, and Eisenhower sent him to oversee the front line, and the command was Patton's business.
Later, Patton was promoted, Bradley was promoted to the rank of commander, and at this time the German-Italian African Army was already at the end of its power, and Rommel was forced to put on sick leave when he returned home to persuade Mustache to withdraw the army, and he could not return to Africa to command the troops.
Then Bradley fished a bunch of war exploits and became a household name in the United States......
Throughout Bradley's military career, he was either an instructor at a military academy or an officer in the personnel department: before the war, he sat at the desk of the personnel department of the Army General Staff for almost two years, and after the war, he went to the head of the Veterans Administration...... Before the outbreak of the war, Bradley also served as Marshall's secretary, and his promotion later was not unrelated to Marshall. It doesn't feel strange that this kind of person can't fight.
In the end, Bradley gradually became the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and completed the achievement of adding one more star to his four stars.
Charlotte certainly didn't know about Bradley's "deeds" on another plane, but she apparently relied on her keen intuition to grasp the truth of the matter.
Eisenhower frowned, thought for a long time and said: "Bradley has always had good grades in the military academy, and he has also served as a tactical instructor in the military academy for a long time, I don't think he has much problem with tactics. ”
"Really?" Charlotte asked.
"Uh, really." Eisenhower hesitated for a second, but finally patted his chest.
"Okay, but remember, that's what you promised me, and if he doesn't do well, then I'm not only going to punish him, but you don't even want to get better."
Eisenhower swallowed and nodded.
"I understand, Miss President."
"Okay, do our English friends know about it?"
"Most of them already know, they have a very sensitive sense of smell."
Charlotte was staggered.
"No matter, go to a meeting with Churchill, if you keep him waiting too long, he will be suspicious, especially at this time. As long as the British ask about the front, you just pat your chest and make sure that there is no problem, remember, no matter what, the military command in North Africa is ours, and there is no room for the British to interfere. ”
"Understood, Miss President."

Lin Youde got the news more than a day later than the Americans themselves, after all, his front-line troops didn't know what they had bumped into, and the information was stolen back from London by the Eye of Odin.
The moment he saw the report, Lin Youde sprayed the tea on the table.
"Patton was hit by a car and died? I'm going to ......."
"What's wrong?" Viola asked curiously as she wiped the tea and saliva from her face with a handkerchief.
"Another time and space, he was also seriously injured in a car accident, and then died, and the time - it was also winter!"
“…… Ha? Viola's eyes widened, "So coincidentally? ”
"This is not called a coincidence, this is called restoring history." Lin Youde threw the report to his daughter Isera, "Find out which unit broke into Patton's headquarters for some reason, and I'm going to issue them a one-ton medal." ”
(I've said before that I've recorded the live for everyone to see, but now I finally have time to record it.) However, it is recorded in the live battle of Company of Heroes 2. You KU search for "My World War II can't be so cute", or "Moon Live", and you can see it. Listen to the voice of my ecstasy)
