Eight hundred and twentieth chapters Barton
"No, of course not!" General Zhu An replied angrily: "General, what do you think of our French army as? We are not Italians!"
Italians often do such things as turning against each other before the battle.
"Then where else can they go?" Patton asked with a stern face: "General, you must know that this is not a trivial matter. I have to be responsible for the entire Allied forces!"
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, General Zhu An had to answer: "General Patton, in fact, I don't know where they are now, but I know where they are going!"
“Where to go?”
"Palermo!" General Zhu An answered.
"Oh, Palermo." Patton replied. After a while he had reacted to what Palermo was, and couldn't help but scream: "What? Palermo? Are you talking about the Port of Palermo?"
"Yes!" General Zhu An nodded.
"What are they going there?" asked Patton. "How did they go?"
"Of course we are going to occupy, General Patton!" General Zhu An said proudly: "When you are still resisting the German attack, we are already attacking!"
"Bad!" Patton's irritable man almost roared at General Zhu'an: "You are crazy, how can you do this? It's fine if you want to die yourself, but have you ever thought that doing this may disrupt our overall plan and even bring us uncertain dangers!"
"General Patton!" General Zhu An responded: "What other danger can we bring to the Allies? The French army was originally an insignificant part of this plan, right? Just like you are used to help the US military eliminate the remaining enemies, and are now taking on a very "important" task of transporting supplies... As for the danger, I cannot agree with this, because if we fail, it is just that we have lost a division and have nothing to do with you. If we succeed, it will only help the Allies!"
When Patton heard this, he was stunned. The matter seemed to be what General Zhu An said.
But Patton ignored these things. He was so angry that he yelled at General Zhu An: "Where is Zhang Chi? That Chinese major general, I want to talk to him!"
"I'm sorry, General Patton!" General Zhu An replied: "If you want General Zhang Chi to stand on your side, I think you will be disappointed. Because this plan to seize Palermo was made by General Zhang Chi, and... this team is still under his command!"
"You mean..." Patton looked at General Zhu An with an incredible expression: "Zhang personally led the team to attack Palermo?"
"Yes!"
At this time, Patton became calm because he knew that Zhang Chi was not a reckless person. It can even be said that Patton had been observing Zhang Chi for a while. Since the Pacific War, Patton has been paying attention to Zhang Chi's performance on the battlefield, and it can even be said to be a research.
"Okay!" Paused, Patton asked General Zhuan: "Then, let's talk about your plan to seize Palermo!"
General Zhu An was a little surprised by Patton's change, but he did not delve into this point and soon revealed Zhang Chi's plan to Patton in full.
After hearing this plan, Patton couldn't help but nodded and praised: "Yes, this is indeed possible. It's just..."
"It's just that it shouldn't be done by the Zoafu Corps, right?" General Zhu An asked.
"I am frank, general!" said Patton: "It's not that I look down on the French army, but... it's a very dangerous task. You know, the Zoafu army may be surrounded by German and Italian troops at that time, and there will be no reinforcements for a certain period of time. This is not something an ordinary army can do!"
"I agree very much!" General Zhu An replied: "But General Patton and the Zoafu Corps are no longer the same as before under the training of Major General Zhang Chi. I believe they can make everyone admire him in this battle!"
"Dan Want to do this!" Patton replied, "And now we have no choice, right?"
Then General Patton complained: "You should tell me this plan earlier, so that it may be more successful!"
"Quality on the contrary!" General Zhu An opposed: "If you tell you this plan in advance, then maybe it will not be implemented at all!"
Speaking of this, General Zhu An will not continue.
General Patton was stunned and nodded.
General Zhu An was right, it was impossible for the British to allow this adventure plan, especially this adventure plan could also make the United States and France make great contributions.
Then General Patton thought of the final result of doing so, which was that it might force the Germans to move their main force eastward, which is the direction of Messina seized by the British, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Okay!" General Patton said: "I don't know about this, do you understand?"
"Of course!" General Zhu An nodded understandingly.
General Patton walked to the door, thought for a while and turned back: "General, you must know that we are allies. If something happens to you, such as if your army is in danger on the battlefield and needs help, we are the ally, as allies... I mean, no matter what the situation is, you can ask us for help, such as air support or some kind of coordination!"
"Of course, general!" General Zhu An couldn't help but look happy: "Thank you very much, general!"
"Yes!" General Patton shook General Zhu An's hand: "Next time, I don't want such a thing to happen again!"
"Yes, General!"
After Patton left, General Zhu An couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This is a good thing. Patton's words just now were actually telling Juan that when the Zoaf Corps attacked Palermo, the US military would provide them with support, which could almost be said to provide an air umbrella for the Zoaf Corps, and the possibility of success of this plan increased greatly.
However, it seems that it is not surprising that Patton would do this. The Americans' personality is actually like this. They do not like those subordinates who obey orders in a normal manner. Just as Patton insists on letting the first infantry division who disobeys the orders go to the battlefield, they prefer those who are adventurous and challenging, which is completely opposite to the British.
