On the command boat that used the "Sentinel" - reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship as the basic modification, he looked at Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley in the display screen.

He wore the camouflage of the army. In the eyes of Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, the green camouflage of the army was much worse than the camouflage of the navy. Of course, he had to admit that the camouflage of the navy was much worse than the digital camouflage of the Chinese Federation.

He reached out and opened the channel of the three adjutants, Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, and his lips moved slightly to express his own opinion.

"Well, why do I look at the Army's camouflage a little silly? It's worse than the Marines!"

As usual, a cold snorkeling warned him that he was talking to another lieutenant general. Another voice expressed his agreement.

"It looks less beautiful than the Navy!"

The last voice showed him plainly that he was crossing a terrible boundary.

"Sir, this is a conversation between two generals with the same rank!"

William Frederick Halsey, Little William Frederick Halsey, pushed his eyes slightly at the three beautiful adjutants who looked at him. When he looked at Omar Nelson Bradley, he became the instrument that a US Navy officer should have.

"Lieutenant General, I am very happy to see you. I have to say that your defensive operations are successful. In any case, the sacrifices made by the Army are worthy of admiration!"

His eyes quietly looked at the reactions of his three adjutants, one expressed his agreement, and one nostrils looked down at the sky and the other one ignored him who was already normal.

"Sir, now with your fleet, we have successfully curbed the Italian attack. And our new infantry division is in place. I would like to ask, if possible, to launch a limited offensive with this infantry division under the cover of your fleet, so that it can..."

Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley's words were respectful enough. As a military rank of the same level, he was able to speak or keep silent, and he could only say that he was impeccable in appearance. But if you think about this matter a little bit, it is not difficult to find that this actually contains some means beyond war that cannot be used to think about professional soldiers.

That is who will be in charge of the Sicily war zone. This is not only a battle for command between two lieutenant generals, but also a battle for command between the army and the air force. In particular, the relationship between the navy as a supporting cover force or the decisive force of the entire Mediterranean war zone.

Perhaps in other words, if the victory of the Battle of Sicily ends, who will be the credit.

About Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley did not intend to do this. This was just a habit of doing things, but this habit was completely different from pure military methods such as William Frederick Halsey, or Lieutenant General George Patton, who were purely military.

Soldiers do not consider the gains and losses of individuals or military interests. Soldiers consider the victory or defeat of battle. This is also the only professional issue that the profession of soldiers should respect. As for the gains and losses of military interests, it is not them, not commanders but chiefs of staff who should have headaches.

For example, the commander is like the father of the family, and the chief of staff is the hostess of the family. He has different emphasis and different habits of thinking about problems. Therefore, Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley's plan was directly rejected by Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey.

"No, Lieutenant General, I think that new Army division, you'd better use it for the defense around Palermo. Protect the port, your reinforcements are already on the way. As for the air fleet, they will strike the enemy's assembly ground to slow their actions. When the reinforcements arrive, I think the battle in Sicily is about to end, because our target is Messina! I will send a liaison team from the theater command, and they will bring a copy of the plan. But Lieutenant General, you must understand that this is still just a top secret!"

About Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley felt that the commander of the theater in front of him was not good, so he had to give up after taking office, and he had been planning the counterattack after reinforcements. Because it would not only solve his "incompetence" performance in the domestic media of the United States, which made the public unhappy. He was worried that it would put too much pressure on the army, and finally, it would have to turn the policy because of the severity.

Therefore, the policy shift refers to the decision to arrange the whereabouts of elite soldiers related to the "Chinese Guild Hall". Just think about it, their departure caused the US military to retreat step by step on the European battlefield, and some famous generals with outstanding military achievements were also excluded. Then the dissatisfaction of the army in the hearts of the people will intensify. If they finally change back under the pressure of the congressional formed by the people, it would become an international joke.

"Yes, sir, I am always waiting for your further orders. Please allow me to cut off the communication!"

Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey raised his eyes from the display screen on the electronic map of the war zone and habitually looked at the reactions of his three adjutants.

One opened his eyes wide with his lips, the other obviously scoffed at his performance, and the last one shook his head as usual, and then her voice sounded in his headphones.

"Sir, you have to think more about Bradley!"

"Think more, I see if this matter is to be reported to the joint meeting in Washington, and the Chief of Staff will be judged. If I have to think more about my subordinates, then should I, the commander of the Mediterranean War Zone, be given to others. These subordinates should be like a certain three ladies. I guess if they can learn it well, I can cooperate with them happily!"

This time, Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey, retorted without waiting for the three ladies, and immediately made a substantial apology for his arrogant words.

"Well, I know you're not satisfied, but don't deprive me of the freedom to suck cigars. At most we can all have lunch together!"

This news made one of his adjutants happy, the other was silent and didn't know what to do, and the last one agreed readily.

"Okay, but we three are not responsible for ordering. I think you know how to do it!"

"This scathing Seventh Army is no longer the heroic Seventh Army. Perhaps Lieutenant General Halsey's opinion is correct. We need an opportunity, an opportunity to restore soldiers and cohesion to the entire army.

He knew that the reason why the Seventh Army lost its qualities as elite troops was the reason why the government deployed soldiers who were related to the "Chinese Guild Hall". And according to his beliefs, those guys were the backbone of almost every unit in this army.

The best pilot, the best tanker, and the best non-commissioned officer of the combat squad. When all these backbones were replaced, the force could not move at all, just like the snake that had gone to the backbone last year. This time, it was able to withstand the attack of the Italians entirely because of the arrival of the US Mediterranean Fleet led by Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey. This gave Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley a supplementary force, and at the same time made the entire front stable under the strong air cover.

This is very important to the life and death of the Seventh Army. But more importantly, Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley, felt the crisis, and it was about his own crisis.

He knew that Lieutenant General William Frederick Halsey would not like him. Just as he could not understand, he was like a warlike soldier like Patton. Their eyes were too narrow, and there seemed to be only war, battlefield and the outcome of battle. Relatively speaking, Lieutenant General Omar Nelson Bradley believed that his eyes were much broader, or more suitable as the commander of the Mediterranean War Zone.

Of course, he would not say these words anyway. This is just his "lofty" ambition. Compared with this ambition, the value of a battle or victory in a battle becomes slim.

Putting down the telescope, he no longer looked at the airship group in the sky. Instead, he returned to the headquarters because he felt that he had to report something to his superiors directly under. It was the system of the army, not the system of the war zone.
