Chapter 859 How did President Roosevelt respond to this
White snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. Before the evening arrived, the whole sky was full of snowflakes dancing, gray.
In the snow where snowflakes gradually covered the earth, the battlefields in the eastern front of Leningrad and Kharkov were covered with hundreds of corpses abandoned on the snow, and they were completely hidden in the snow and could not be seen clearly.
At this moment, Eisenhower hurriedly brought the lucky gold coins he carried with him, and under the escort of the guard, he went to the newly established combat command center in Algiers.
Of course, there is no snowflakes falling in Algiers now, and even the cold weather has not appeared.
Compared with the battle situation on the Eastern Front battlefield, Eisenhower was nervous about the battle situation on the Western Front battlefield under his command.
When he just received intelligence from the US Intelligence Coordination Agency, commanded by William Joseph Donovan, showed that the German army might have gathered 60 divisions in the Cassino and the Winter Defense Line.
Regarding such unsettling information, Eisenhower, who was silly in his heart, immediately went to General Marshall to discuss it.
Not long after, Eisenhower arrived at General Marshall's interim command.
"Have you received the information from Director Donovan? Sir!"
As soon as he entered the temporary headquarters, Eisenhower first saluted General Marshall with a respectful military salute, and then said seriously.
Facing the old man who lifted him up in front of him, Eisenhower still respected him very much.
"Received! What do you think? White!"
Admiral Marshall also responded with a kind smile to Eisenhower's respect.
"I want to implement his information to Director Donovan! Because this information concerns the lives of our more than 500,000 troops, as well as the victory or defeat of various battles we are currently on the Western Front, so no mistakes are allowed!"
"And we had investigated the deployment of the German troops for a long time before we started the raid. Before the war, Keser's total strength was definitely no more than 27 divisions. But why did we suddenly tell me that Kesering's troops had 60 divisions under him to command the battle?"
"For such a major error, I will never forgive Director Donovan and the Intelligence Coordination Bureau he commanded!"
Eisenhower said indignantly.
"Your view is exactly the same as mine, so I am already communicating with President Roosevelt. I also hope Director Donovan and the Intelligence Coordination Bureau he commands will give us a satisfactory explanation and accurate intelligence!"
Admiral Marshall also had a sharp look and said in an irritable tone.
"Well! How did President Roosevelt respond to this? Sir!"
In response to this, Eisenhower was stunned at first, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"President Roosevelt is also verifying the accuracy and credibility of the intelligence with Director Donovan and the Intelligence Coordination Bureau he commanded, especially when Kesseling's German army received such a huge supplement, but we know nothing." "But to be honest, I can't imagine that Hitler dispatched so many troops from there and came to Italy to give Kesseling command operations!"
"He is now trapped in a battle between the east and west, and he should be very short of troops!"
"Especially the population of Germany is not comparable to the population of our Allied forces!"
Admiral Marshall also said with confusion.
"What if the German army in Kesseling really has 60 divisions of troops to fight, then what should we do? Should we evacuate the Italian combat troops immediately, or will we continue to fight the German army to the end?"
Upon hearing this, Eisenhower immediately proposed his worst plan.
"At that time, President Roosevelt and our Joint Chiefs of Staff will only be allowed to make the meeting decision. This matter is beyond our official position!"
"If we make a rash decision, if there is a loss and serious casualties, then neither you nor me, we will be able to give explanations to people of all walks of life!"
"But no matter how things don't go smoothly, President Roosevelt and I have always been to give priority to the European battlefield and the Pacific battlefield to the secondary position!"
"As long as we can defeat the powerful German army, then the small island country, Japan, is not afraid!"
"And we are not fighting alone, we also have the assistance of allies such as the Soviet army and the British army!"
"Especially the Soviet army is now holding a large number of German troops on the Eastern Front, so I am also very curious about how Hitler got so many reserve troops from where he was sent to Italy to fight!"
Admiral Marshall said seriously with a serious expression.
"I understand, sir!"
After hearing this, Eisenhower's nervous feeling suddenly relaxed a lot and said with a smile.
"Everything will be fine, and God will bless our army because they are fighting for justice!"
Admiral Marshall suddenly sighed with emotion and said softly.
At the same time, he suddenly walked out of the command center's door, while Eisenhower was stunned and then followed immediately.
After that, the two of them began a slow patrol and new chat content in the nearby barracks.
