Both schemes seem to make sense.

Simply put, the United States wants to land in northern France with France as its base, while the United Kingdom wants to land in southern Italy with Italy as its base.

Compared with the two plans, the plan proposed by Britain is indeed more attractive and easier. After all, the German army gathered heavy troops in northern France.

Eisenhower made different opinions on this, so he argued with each other red in his face. General Zhu An even joined the argument, and he obviously preferred Alexander's plan.

This psychology is understandable. At this time, General Juan was eager to fight to increase the prestige of the Algiers government, or it could be said that this was what the entire Algiers government hoped.

Then, if it landed from northern France, there would be nothing wrong with the Algiers government. The Allied forces could not transport the French army to Britain and then landed in northern France. In the eyes of Allied generals, any unit of the Commonwealth Army is more valuable than the French army.

But if you land in southern Italy, it would be different. Algeria and Tunisia are the closest places to southern Italy, and the Algiers government will obviously play an extremely important role by then.

Only Zhang Chi sat in the conference room without saying a word.

"Major General!" Eisenhower asked Zhang Chi: "Don't you say anything?"

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "Can I change anything what I said?"

Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded. He also knew that it was meaningless to continue to argue like this. It was the British who played a leading role in the battlefield in North Africa, and what the British believed... Even the United States was unable to change.

"Major General!" Alexander objected: "What do you mean? If what you say makes sense, we will certainly consider it!"

Zhang Chi has never had a good impression of Alexander. Not only did he not have a good impression, but he was also very disgusted, because he deceived and used the Chinese Expeditionary Force again and again on the battlefield in Myanmar, causing countless passionate expeditionary forces to die in vain... This blood feud cannot be said to be over.

"I mean!" Zhang Chi replied: "If Britain is planning for its own interests, will it still consider the thoughts and feelings of the allies?"

Zhang Chi is related to this, not only talking about the past, but also the past of Myanmar.

Of course, Alexander knew what Zhang Chi meant, and his face turned red.

But Jiang is worthy of being old, and he quickly spread his hands calmly and said, "I didn't understand what you mean, Major General, we are planning to march into Italy. This is the interest of the entire Allied forces, but you say this is the interest of Britain..."

"Of course!" Zhang Chi replied: "If you attack Italy and then attack northward, you can enter an Allied wedge that separates Europe and the Soviet Union, right?"

Eisenhower was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the map again. As expected, it was as Zhang Chi said... If Italy was taken over and attacking Germany with it as a base, it would completely block the Soviet power. In other words, by then, whether it was France or other countries affected or occupied by Germany, they would have to surrender to the Allies.

In other words, the strategy proposed by Britain actually takes into account the ability to share more interests after the war.

At the same time, landing in southern Italy does not require too many German troops, and the British were invested in the battlefield with the Commonwealth Army, mainly the colonial army... This is completely using others to fight for themselves!

Seeing Zhang Chi revealing it, Alexander said unnaturally: "Oh, is that? Major General, if it weren't for your reminder... I didn't think of this yet. But you can't deny that this is also a good plan, right? Southern Italy is the soft threat of the Axis power..."

"General!" Zhang Chi interrupted Alexander and asked back, "I just want to ask, what is our ultimate goal?"

"That's more than anything!" Alexander replied: "Of course it was to defeat the German army and force it to surrender, so that we can end this damn battlefield!"

"It's right!" Zhang Chi said: "So do you think... can this be achieved if the Allies landed from Italy? Or can the Allies avoid the 44 German divisions gathered in northern France?"

Alexander couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Eisenhower nodded and said, "Yes, we can't avoid these 44 German divisions in the end. It can be imagined that if Germany had troops of these 44 divisions, they would obviously not surrender. Even if we did not confront them when we landed in northern France today, we would meet them on other battlefields!"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi said: "So there is no saying that "easy and get difficult" or "going hard to get easy" from southern Italy. The so-called "easy" is just the "easy" in front of you. Even this "easy" is a "difficulty" style of play, because the offensive route will obviously be much longer, the time will be experienced will be longer, and the number of deaths will be more... Even because it gives the Germans a chance to breathe, it may affect the entire battle situation!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Chi concluded: "Gentlemen, do you all understand? This is dirty politics. Just like in Myanmar, the British once again stepped on the interests of their allies. I want to ask General Alexander... For your so-called interests, do you really feel guilty? "

"This is nonsense!" said Alexander: "What you said is groundless. Why do you assert that such a fight cannot save more lives?"

"Yes!" Zhang Chi smiled and said, "It's like you've 'save' many lives in Myanmar!"

As he said that, Zhang Chiteng stood up and walked out of the venue. He no longer wanted to see Alexander, the shameless so-called general.

Eisenhower chased after him from behind and shouted, "Zhang..."

"General!" Zhang Chi said: "I'd better not attend such meetings in the future, so as not to be unhappy with each other!"

Eisenhower smiled and said, "On the contrary, you should participate more, because if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know that we were once again exploited by the cunning British!"

"But this can't change anything, right?" Zhang Chi said.

Eisenhower pointed: "Yes, nothing can be changed. They will still choose to attack southern Italy. However, I finally know where the problem is!"
