Chapter 258: Soldiers on the British Island

White House, President Roosevelt Room.

George Marshall, Speaker Sam Rayburn, Vice President Henry Wallace, Senator Truman and his group were also standing quietly in the room, waiting for President Roosevelt to speak.

"How is the entry operation in Sicily going on now?"

President Roosevelt, who was sitting in his wheelchair, was silent for a while, then looked at George Marshall and asked straight to the point.

“In progress!”

George Marshall hesitated and replied.

"When will the war start?"

President Roosevelt continued to ask.

"It is not certain yet! But they will try to follow the orders of the President to do a good job of attacking within one month!"

George Marshall organized the right language to answer.

"Why are you so procrastinating! What are Eisenhower and the others thinking and doing?"

President Roosevelt said with a sharp look at George Marshall.

"They are investigating the production and storage locations of Hitler's new weapons and equipment, and plan to destroy these locations!"

George Marshall replied cautiously.

"How about the investigation now? Have you found out where the storage locations of these advanced weapons and equipment of Hitler are?"

Upon hearing this, President Roosevelt also asked nervously and concernedly.

"We have already started to look for a lot of useful information! Our spies have begun to find a lot of useful information, but the casualties they paid for were quite serious!"

George Marshall replied.

"Well! Reward these spies well, whether they survived or had already sacrificed! Since Eisenhower wanted to destroy Hitler's new weapon and equipment production points and launch the Sicily Battle, I will give him more time! But it must not be delayed for too long!"

"Because today I have received a telegram from Stalin. They are about to launch a large-scale counterattack against the German army, asking us to cooperate with them on the Western Front to attack the German army as soon as possible, so that the German army can be trapped in the abyss of fighting on the east and west sides and defeat them!"

President Roosevelt said in a gentle tone.

"I will urge Eisenhower and others to conduct military operations as soon as possible!"

George Marshall responded quickly.

"Europe cannot fall under Hitler's hoof, otherwise people's future destiny will be swallowed up by darkness! And by then our American Empire will not benefit from anything!"

"Besides, we now have to face not only the German army in Europe, but also the Japanese army in the Pacific! So the battle on the Western Front depends on you and Eisenhower! General Marshall!"

President Roosevelt said in a firm tone.

"For the sake of the freedom of all mankind and a happy and peaceful life, I will definitely defeat the Nazi Germans and liberate Europe!"

George Marshall also responded with a sharp look and firm look.

"Okay! I'll feel relieved if you help me with the Germans in Europe and Douglas MacArthur to help me with the Japanese in the Pacific!"

President Roosevelt said happily.

"By the way! Your Excellency the President summoned us here today. I wonder if there is any big deal to order?"

At this moment, before George Marshall could reply, Vice President Henry Wallace, who was too liberal, suddenly interrupted.

"Yes! Because I have discussed with Churchill and the others to carry out a military garrison plan in the British Islands! Because the strength of Hitler and his troops is beyond our expectations, especially the emergence of new weapons and equipment, we and the Soviet army have suffered several great losses in their hands!"

"So in order to defeat Hitler and to guard against the terrifying lethality of his new weapons and equipment, Churchill and our British and American staff decided unanimously to station troops in the British Islands to deal with the worst possible situation in the future!"

"In short, our purpose is to absolutely not allow Britain and Europe to fall under Hitler's hooves!"

President Roosevelt said in an unquestionable and unrefutable tone.

"Okay! I understand, Your Excellency the President!"

Seeing this, Vice President Henry Wallace, who had originally wanted to refute, suddenly lost his temper.

"I will leave the matter of garrisoning troops to you! General Marshall!"

After seeing the other party silent and stopped talking, President Roosevelt continued to smile at Marshall.

"Ah! I'm responsible?"

Marshall said in surprise.

"What's wrong? Do you feel that you don't have the ability to do this? Or do you don't want to defeat the German army?"

Seeing the other party's expression of surprise, President Roosevelt said with a sharp look and a serious tone.

"No! I am absolutely happy to accept this important task! I was just too happy just now, and I didn't expect that Your Excellency the President would give me such an important task!"

Marshall immediately responded loudly.

"Okay! You will take Truman to the British Islands later! In addition to completing the military garrison in the British Islands, you can also pay attention to the battle between Yugoslav People's Army leader Shitto and the Germans!"

"I heard that they were suffering heavy casualties under the large-scale nest of the German army recently, and were asking Churchill for help!"

President Roosevelt nodded and smiled with great satisfaction.

"Yes! Your Excellency the President!"

Marshall and Truman responded in unison.

Then they talked about how many troops they planned to station in England, how many military supplies, and so on...

After the meeting, Marshall and Truman packed up some of the daily necessities they needed that afternoon, and then took a plane to secretly go to the British Islands.

At this time, the US military gradually opened more and more naval bases in the UK.

For example, the amphibious training centers include: Rosnis, Plymouth, Falmerth, Dartmerth, and Salcomb, as well as Appledore, and Instow, as well as Port Milford, and Penasth, and the last Yanmerth and other naval bases.

In addition to these amphibious training bases, there are also small amphibious training forward bases and various auxiliary training bases.

For example, small amphibious training bases include: St. Moss, Fowe, Exeter, and Bougell.

As for various auxiliary training bases, they are at Nateley and Deputford auxiliary training bases.

Roosevelt intends to invest about 350 tons of supplies and equipment here, while the troops are about 1.2 million.

Of course, since the Pacific War is breaking out and Eisenhower has dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to prepare for Sicily landing, President Roosevelt still has no way to mobilize so many troops at once and provide supplies to station troops in the British Islands in a short period of time.

However, this plan to garrison troops in the British Islands will still be realized, and it is now being carried out at a faster pace.

When Marshall and Truman secretly went to the British Islands, the new British delegation and some of its military supplies also arrived at the command of the East Bosnian Terminal.
