Rise from the sword

November [-].

West Line.

Cherbourg, Eisenhower Office.

In the early morning, a ray of sunshine shone down. The highest commander of the Allied forces on the Western Front, General Eisenhower, the five-star American general, was watching the morning sun through the window. On the table, there was a cup of coffee that was slightly floating and warm.

On his desk is a huge combat map.

The Allies representing the red arrow, like the red tentacles of the octopus, stretched out to the interior of France one by one, like a huge claws, intending to encroach on the European continent, including the Normandy region, the Cotentin Peninsula, The Brittany area was almost covered with red tentacles, but all the tentacles stopped at Rennes and Caen.

Looking back, Eisenhower stared at the map on the table, frowning deeply.

The offense was as hard as he expected.

Under the protection of the empty towers of Rennes and Caen, the Germans can advance to attack and retreat to defend. The armored troops can retreat into the fire coverage area at any time, and have the autonomy of the battle anytime and anywhere. Firepower, it is impossible to let go of hands and feet, and it is impossible to penetrate into the hinterland of France.

But if they attacked these two places, it would be much more difficult than attacking Cherbourg.

Although the Allies have also strengthened their offensive equipment, the small David artillery and the new ground penetrating projectile are almost in service, but the Germans have also strengthened the defense of the air-to-air tower. Also, Rennes and Caen cannot be covered by heavy naval artillery.

It's not impossible to win.

If you let go of your hands and feet and attack regardless of casualties or losses, the Allies can completely take these two fortresses.

There is no invincible fortress in the world.

Moreover, the Allied forces have an absolute advantage in military strength, and the size of the air force is more than three times that of the Germans. There are more than 1 aircraft that can be directly put into combat, while the Germans only have about [-]. , was not eliminated.

But in the course of the attack, the Germans' elite armored mobile power and thick anti-aircraft tower fortresses will inevitably cause heavy losses to the Allies.

At that time, it will be another Cherbourg.

Nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars in military expenditure, millions of casualties, more than [-] million deaths and loss of personnel, more than four months of war time, and it may even be more than that. Even if he wins these two places, he must step down, and even end in dismal .

The price must be paid for this storm in his life.

only···
Eisenhower looked away.

After knowing that a strong attack was not desirable, he also tried other methods.

On the Western Front, Allied air power could only be said to have an advantage.

After all, the Germans also have an air force, and even jet fighters have a huge technical advantage. The British mainland is still being bombarded indiscriminately. On the Siegfried line of defense, he is only suppressing the German air force because of the numerical advantage.

But naval power, that's an almost perfect absolute advantage.

It can be directly said that all the Germans up and down and all the navies are pulled out, and it is not enough for a squadron of the Allied forces to fight.

The advantage of the navy, then it can use the mobile force of the troops and log in in multiple regions. Eisenhower naturally did this. After successfully logging in to the Brittany region, he planned to re-enact the landing to open up a new battlefield and land in the Beibu Gulf in early November.

But after half a month of fighting, not only did they fail to penetrate the landing site, but they were also driven into the sea by the Germans many times.

The Germans built a large number of air defense towers along the coast of the Beibu Gulf, equipped with large-caliber shore-based naval guns, which completely covered the entire Beibu Gulf area and could easily suppress the landing troops at any point.

Facts have proved that even the superior naval power of the Allied forces will find it difficult to project troops ashore and keep the landing site safe when the enemy is prepared.

Except for the Beibu Gulf, other places are not suitable for landing at all.

This situation gave Eisenhower a headache.

Waiting cannot wait. According to the order of the highest level of the Allied forces, he must attack immediately to support the Eastern Front operations and further weaken the Germans. The only option before him is to attack.

But attack...

As a front-line commander, he must bear the cost of the attack. Taking the blame and resigning is inevitable, and he may be investigated. Of course, people will be fine, but the future is definitely gone.

Don't say anything about entering the political arena, and even the business world is restricted, and can only retire honestly.

"what can we do about it?"

Eisenhower rested his chin in thought.

He doesn't want to retire yet, he still thinks that he plans to run for the president of the United States in the future and become the most powerful man in the world.

"Have it!"

While thinking, Eisenhower suddenly had an idea.

Although he is the supreme commander of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, he is a big man in the eyes of the people, holding great power and over ten thousand people.

But in fact, the things he can do are small things, the work at the tactical level, and the strategic level. A wage earner, an executor.

That's why he dreams of becoming president in the future.

The top management decided that the western front must be attacked, and the situation must be opened. He could only order the attack. The only options he could choose were to attack from the front, or to use the navy to play mobile operations and bypass the enemy's main force.

Now that he can't get around it, he can only attack by force. Even if he knows it's a pit, he will be unfortunate as the commander-in-chief, but he must order the attack.

but.

Isn't it said in China that if he is not capable, let others come?

that,
Let the capable people come.

Of course, you can't resign directly, otherwise it will leave a handle on others, and you have to exit gracefully.

"doctor···"

Thinking of this, Eisenhower suddenly knocked over the cold coffee, covered his head and shouted:
"doctor···"

November [-].

morning.

The highest commander of the Allied Forces on the Western Front, a five-star general of the US Army, General Eisenhower was forced to resign from work due to sudden physical discomfort due to commanding operations for several days.

The incident happened suddenly. After emergency consultations by the staff, the new President Truman made the final decision, and the commander of the Allied forces on the Western Front was taken over by General MacArthur, a five-star general of the American Army.

It stands to reason that the supreme command of the Western Front should be negotiated by the presidents of both sides, but Fatty Qiu offered to make Lao Du a dictator, and Truman was also happy to accept the good intentions, thinking that this was a symbol of the British being soft-hearted.

At this time, the announcement of Ping'an County had just been issued, but the newspaper of the 'Overlord' missile was finally passed on to Truman.

····
Also at the same time.

The only safe England in the British Empire.

A new [-]-ton container ship arrives at a widened port
·····
same day.

Guam.

After several months of frantic construction, the port of Guam has expanded several times, and hundreds of large-scale berths are almost taking shape.

early morning.

After a hearty breakfast, the workers from the construction team were about to go to the construction site to continue the construction of the Guam port. They suddenly found that the dozen or so berths that had been built were nearly full of warships.

Moreover, all of them are super large warships.

On the port warehouse, a thick oil pipeline is connected to the warship, and one ton of light and heavy oil is imported into the warship's oil depot.

At the same time, another truckload of supplies was also hoisted into the warship warehouse.

"This is···"

People suddenly guessed in their hearts.

"Definitely go to Milligan."

Someone snorted decisively:
"The Americans treat us as human beings, squeeze our labor force, and legislate to exclude us. The newspaper said that under the sleepers of every kilometer of railways in the United States, there are the corpses of our workers."

"Back then, our skills were not as good as others, and our strength was not as good as others. We had no choice but to admit that we were bullied. Now, we have stood up, and we should settle for new and old accounts."

"Go back to the scene, don't send warships to support the scene?"

Thanks to Zhao Gang's vigorous promotion of newspapers and cultural education on TV, even the ordinary workers in the construction team have a good level of thinking, and they can guess the purpose of the warship's appearance closely.

"I feel so too."

A man in his forties smiled naively:

"Our big baby is in the navy, or serving on the Dynasty-class battleship."

"Dynasty class? This is the number one battleship in the world, why didn't you tell me earlier? It just happens that our class will have a break tomorrow. I'll invite you to drink. If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

"Haha, then we're welcome!"

Amid the laughter of the workers, the fleet that had finished supplying sounded its whistle and set sail.

····
November [-]th.

The next moment he received the news of the 'maddened' sanctions, Lao Du looked forward to the ambassador to the United States.

"Please."

Because it is too unexpected, after all, they have been invited dozens of times.

As a result, Lao Du was originally sanctioned because all his subordinates and councillors were sanctioned, and the entire Milli traitor was put into a hornet's nest.

But then, he realized that he was here to inform the members of the wanted and sanctioned members, and his face immediately returned to ugly, his tone was cold:

"Have the National Guard send a few tanks and an escort over here."

Do you really think Miriam is made of mud?

Do you really think that a little technical advantage is invincible in the world?Can you fight the world?
He wants to see,

When faced with a real threat to their lives, could those people still threaten Mi Lijian with a straight face?
