Chapter 1618 Crazy Bull

At this moment, Eisenhower is indeed a little less powerful than the future President of the United States. He can indeed think of and understand what Colonel Max said, but he does not want these political things to disturb his military career too much. decision making.

"Political matters should be left to those in charge of politics. The military serves politics, and we soldiers should do what we should do."

“The president made it very clear in his telegram that everything on our list of needs will be added in the next week, and we just need to figure out how to win the battle that shocked the world in May. "

"We will continue to arrange the combat plan according to the original plan. This afternoon's meeting remains unchanged and there is no need to cancel it. Inform all participants to be present and participate on time."

"Oh, remember to call Colonel Stagg. I want to hear the weather forecast and analysis for May and ask him to bring everything for the meeting. He was late for the last meeting. I don't want to hear his reasons and excuses. The British always waste time making their black tea, tell him to be punctual this time."

The John Bulls' morbid love for black tea was simply outrageous. Knowing this, Colonel Max just nodded and smiled at Eisenhower.

"As you wish, General, I will inform you truthfully."

Jingle Bell--

Before Colonel Max could finish his words, the phone on Eisenhower's desk rang impatiently, impatiently and harshly, steaming like a just-boiled kettle, and you could almost feel the eager temperature. .

"It should be an emergency, General, I have a hunch."

Colonel Max checked it casually and took it as a half-joke. Eisenhower, who had his request met and was in a fair mood, smiled silently and answered the phone.

"What did you say? He is waiting downstairs to see me? Is he here now???"

"Okay, I understand. Well, let him come up. Yes, bring him to my office. He doesn't have to go anywhere else. He comes directly to my office. There is no need for anyone to stay along the way. Okay, no problem, That’s it.”

Snapped--

The brief call lasted less than half a minute. Eisenhower hung up the phone, but his expression was obviously not good. This aroused the curiosity of Colonel Max who was standing at the table.

"Maybe I shouldn't ask, but who's here? General."

The "special visitor" who could make Eisenhower sit behind his desk so angry without saying a word, Colonel Max, who was good at thinking, already had several guesses in his mind, but Eisenhower was not going to be angry next. The answer was beyond expectation.

"Who else could do such a mindless and reckless thing? Our armored general, Mr. Patton.

"Barton???"

Colonel Max was surprised when he heard such an answer. He thought of some possible names in his mind, but he never expected that this uninvited guest would be him.

"Shouldn't he be staying in Kent at this time? Has there been a change of plans?"

Colonel Max, who looked puzzled, asked almost subconsciously, and Eisenhower, who still had an angry expression on his face, shook his eyebrows.

"If the plan had changed, would I look like this now?"

""

Come on, no need to say it, brother understands.

The stubborn donkey temper designated to be Patton's old man got sick again, just like before.

Knowing that he should not stay any longer, Colonel Max quickly said goodbye and left to complete the tasks that Eisenhower had just assigned him to do.

That is, less than half a minute after Colonel Max walked away, the rumbling footsteps like a train opened the office door and strode into Eisenhower's sight.

"I can't understand, why should I continue to stay in that sterile place as an impostor? I heard from those John Bulls that the plan has been delayed and the Allies can't get enough ships to send our boys To the Germans, is this true?"

Sitting behind the desk, he raised his head and looked quietly at Barton, who had two noses in front of him and was spitting out white air like a raging bull. Eisenhower, who had a calm tone, was obviously not affected by Patton's "raging like a mad bull". Instead, he raised the pen in his hand and pointed behind Patton and spoke.

"The china shop doesn't close when a rabid bull breaks into it, and I'm sure you do, don't you, George?"

""

Regardless of whether Patton had a high emotional intelligence or not, he could still tell that Eisenhower was hinting at him.

His face turned red from holding back but he didn't know how to refute for a while. Barton, who was not very angry, could only do as he was told. Just as Eisenhower said, he turned around and closed the door honestly, then turned around and turned back, and then returned to stand in front of Eisenhower's desk.

This time, Eisenhower, who had a helpless expression on his face, spoke first without waiting for Patton to speak.

"We have confirmed this many times, George. You have to stay in Kent and play the role you need to play until the change order is issued. Why can't you call me or contact me by telegram? We will do it in advance You have made so many preparations to confuse the enemy. If a German spy sees you running here, have you ever thought about how much of your efforts will be wasted? "

Although Operation Overlord has not actually started yet, preliminary preparations have already begun.

For example, let Patton wear the false identity of "Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces" and wander around the streets of Kent, creating smoke bombs to confuse the Germans and make them strategically misjudge the true direction of Operation Overlord.

This was part of the preliminary preparations for Operation Overlord, but Eisenhower did not expect that Patton, a guy who couldn't stand loneliness, would go directly to his office to make a fuss and "ask for an explanation."

This guy's bull-like violent personality is very useful on the battlefield and makes enemies fear him, but the problems that come with it are also a headache.

"I've had enough of that damn place! I just drive around in a car all day long and you think it's my job? Hey! Look! We're here to get ready to go teach the Germans a lesson. I'm not here to fight Those fat British women wandering the streets talking about love are unbelievable!

"I can't stand all those stupid contacts and middlemen. I need to see you in person. What the hell is going on? Is what the British guy is telling the truth?"

Who knows where Patton heard these ridiculous rumors? Eisenhower, who no longer cares about these minutiae, can only quickly explain what he said to the crazy bull in front of him to prevent him from making any mistakes again. .

"Don't think too much, George. I just received a telegram from the President. After reading it, I'm sure you will go back to Kent and continue to drive your car leisurely and go to the streets to see those fat British women. It's just like what you just said."
