In the Presidential Office of the White House in Washington, DC, USA, President Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and watched the staff he had summoned. These were all high-ranking officials in the United States, including think tanks Marshall and Eisenhower ... and the current Royal Navy. Admiral Dudley Bond.
"Mr. President, without any external support, transporting so much troops to Italy to fight a war with no chance ... This is not a wise thing." General Bradley pointed at the Strait of Gibraltar He introduced to Roosevelt: "Even if there are 100,000 troops, these troops have to wander for a long time at sea. After landing in Italy, they need to go to the front line immediately. They can't stop the Germans, whoever commands the end is the same. "
General Eisenhower also nodded and agreed with his colleagues: "From a purely military perspective, it is a very irrational act to invest in the army in Italy. We are sending prisoners of war to the German concentration camps, and we want to 100,000 people are sent. These people are isolated and helpless, even without basic logistical support. After the ammunition is depleted, they are no different from the troops 200 years ago. "
A general representing the US Navy added: "Mr. President, if the Germans are not idiots, then after Gibraltar is attacked once, they will close the strait. We have no way to attack the German navy and the German ground-based aviation. Within the battle with the Germans for a distant strait, even the deployment of troops in the Pacific Ocean cannot be achieved. "
The British Royal Navy Dudley Bond, who had not spoken there, also nodded and said, "It has to be admitted that the combat capabilities of the Germans and the Japanese are completely different. The quality of the armored forces and aircraft is at least that of the Japanese. Ten times, the number is much more than the Japanese ... In this case, it is absolutely impossible for an adventure to pass through the Strait of Gibraltar and a second time to supply there. "
There was a word he didn't say in his heart. He even felt that if the Germans were ruthless enough, it would be the result of once and for all to open the Strait of Gibraltar directly and let the Americans enter Italy to wipe them out in one breath. According to the German's combat effectiveness on the Eastern Front, even if Americans transport 200,000 people to Italy, they will be hit by the sea within a few weeks.
"Generals, I think, if we can make a fight in Italy, then the German and Italian North African Legion relying on local supplies will be cut off because of the supplies, and eventually lose the ability to continue to attack." Marshall said: "In the end, they We will be rushed back to our hometown because of lack of weapons and ammunition. The situation in the Middle East war will be reversed because of this. I think the entire Middle East will use 70,000 soldiers to fight for it. This is indeed within a reasonable range, is n’t it? "
The reality is always cruel. Everyone in this room knows well that they sent the 70,000 American infantry and all the military supplies to Italy, and they simply let them die. As long as their troops lose value, the Allies will be able to regain the initiative throughout the Middle East, which is the core purpose of the entire plan.
As for Italy, it will be smashed into scorched soil, all ports and airports will be destroyed by the US military and Mussolini in the rout, and the railway line will also be destroyed by bombing ... The entire Italy will be shortly after the battle All of them can only focus on reconstruction-and Italy will eventually get the benefits they want. Who cares about the people in this room?
"Strictly screen the soldiers participating in the mission this time, and the brother and brother cannot join the troops sent to Italy at the same time. If there is such a situation, immediately evacuate one of them." General Eisenhower decided to do so after thinking about it He will use the lives of nearly 100,000 troops to exchange for a real victory on the battlefield in the Middle East.
If we analyze it from a military perspective, it will be a great victory that changes the course of history: the total number of the L army in Rommel and the K army in Scherner in North Africa exceeds 300,000, plus Garibal in Italy The number of troops under the command of the General is doubled. Using 100,000 US troops to achieve the goal of annihilating 600,000 German-Italian coalition forces is obviously a very cost-effective business.
But will everything be as Americans wish? Obviously unlikely. How could such a huge operation not be noticed by the Germans? Even the Americans feel unsure about the confidentiality of intelligence. Otherwise, they will not convene another meeting to determine whether to use Italy to fight a turn-over war.
The British side undoubtedly hopes that Americans will act in Italy, because after this battle, everything may turn out accordingly: the Germans will completely fail in the North African battlefield, and the United Kingdom will be able to regain a large colony, but the enemy Germany is bound to weaken the Atlantic barriers to deal with the Italian crisis-that was a good time to recover the British mainland.
"Be careful of Italy. If they deliberately pretended to cooperate with us and tricked us into self-investment, all of this seemed to make sense." General Bradley was also very concerned about intelligence issues, after all, the Germans' pervasive intelligence network It is unpredictable, and many seemingly very concealed Allied actions are noticed by the German spies. This action against Italy is obviously not so secretive in terms of confidentiality.
"The Italians have already been integrated into industrial production throughout Europe. I really doubt if the Italians are really stupid, so that they have the intention to break away from the Axis ..." Eisenhower also thinks that the Italian's rebellion is very problematic At least in the political and economic fields, Italy ’s betrayal of the Axis Powers is a total loss.
At this time President Roosevelt suddenly opened his mouth. Compared with the generals present, he was a real expert in the political field. He is the only one in this room who understands Mussolini best: "Gentlemen, it is because Italy is becoming more and more integrated into the economic and political system of the Axis, and it is gradually losing its true independence ... This is not what Mussolini wants to see, so these things are the reason why Italy cannot leave the Axis Powers, and the reason why Italy is determined to leave the Axis Powers. "
Mussolini hoped that the opportunity of Germany to wage war would complete his ambition to revitalize the Kingdom of Italy into the Roman Empire. What he wanted was to be the great leader and founder of this new Roman Empire, not to be a small follower of the Third Reich, not an obscure chatter in the Axis Kingdom. A person does not have the slightest sense of surrender in his political stance, and he will never make any compromises when considering issues. Mussolini is such a person, a speculator with strong political ideals.
He surrendered to the force of the Third Reich because he had no choice. When Germany swept France and defeated Britain, he could only hide his beautiful desire to establish the Roman Empire in his heart. So when the American came to the door and provided him with another option that did not have to be inferior, he immediately swayed.
In this matter, he was clearly seen by Roosevelt, because Roosevelt had seen too many, such as Mussolini. However, after Roosevelt finished speaking, he immediately added: "However, the relationship between Italy and Germany does affect a large part of the Italians. We must pay attention to this aspect of the impact and find ways to eliminate these adverse effects on us. "
"The information passed back shows that Mussolini's control of the Italian navy is still relatively strong, so the Italian navy helped to attack the Strait of Gibraltar. This matter is relatively certain." The general of the US Navy pointed to the report on the table. : "As long as their shelling starts on time, it will be almost smooth until landing in Italy ..."
"With the convoy of the fleet, the entire Mediterranean area will be blocked by then, shelling Alexandria and Greece, and cutting off the supply lines of the German troops in North Africa." He pointed to various locations on the map, then sighed helplessly and continued: "The more difficult problem is that there are German airports on the islands of Malta and Crete. When the blockade task is carried out, interference may be encountered, and the loss will be huge."
This is why the Allied warships heading to the Mediterranean have few large ships. These warships will be blocked in the Mediterranean Sea, and most of them may be lost in this sea area as the war progresses. Therefore, in order to compress losses as much as possible, the Allies used most destroyers and cruisers as ships to enter the Mediterranean.
The general situation of the combat plan is that the main forces of the Royal Navy and the United States Atlantic Fleet will the transport fleet to the Strait of Gibraltar, and then hand over the transport fleet to the Italian Navy, and then return to the main fleet. This transport fleet, a small number of cruisers, and destroyer troops will fight in the Mediterranean until the entire army is annihilated or the US military successfully recovers the Middle East and North Africa.
"Since there is no problem, then this plan, let's start to implement it! Ladies and gentlemen, the first large-scale US Army action plan against Germany is about to begin. Please work together to win this war for the future of the United States. "" Roosevelt looked at the generals in front of him who determined the whereabouts of the US army of more than three million, and said in a gentle tone.
"Yes! Mr. President!" The room, with the exception of Admiral De Li Pound of the Royal Navy, all agreed loudly.
