Chapter 399: Eisenhower's Wrath and Prayer

As Patton screamed, he had returned to Algeria's capital Algeria, a port city located in northwest Africa; facing the Mediterranean Sea to the north, Tunisia to the east, Libya to the south, Niger to the south; Mali and Mauritania to the west, Morocco to the west, and Western Sahara to the border.

As soon as he arrived here, Eisenhower immediately received news of the retreat from Montgomery, as well as the British First Army Tank Brigade and the 70th Infantry Division annihilated most of the intelligence to the German army.

Eisenhower suddenly became angry and worried.

"What should I do? Why is the German army suddenly so powerful that it annihilated the forces of our two divisions at such a fast speed! They are all those cowardly and useless intelligence units. If their news was not so backward, how could they not know that the German army had already lurked a large number of elite troops in Sicily, waiting for our Allies to arrive and enter, and then they immediately launched an ambush. This abacus is really good! Hitler! I don't look at you again!"

"I really can't take it lightly at all as cunning as you! Otherwise, I really didn't know how to die if I really died!"

Meanwhile, Eisenhower muttered to himself in an upset and irritated.

"Huh! It seems that I am going to send a telegram to President Roosevelt again to report bad news. It seems that my position as the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Allied Forces should be over soon, and it's over!"

After a long time, Eisenhower sighed in a heavy mood.

At that moment, he was not only exhausted, but also felt as if he had been aged for 10 years.

But at this boring moment, a messenger suddenly rushed to his office and handed him a telegram, reporting that "It's not good! Commander! General Patton's troops were not only attacked by the elite German SS troops, but also bombed by German aviation troops. The situation was very critical. They now generate electricity to ask for support from the aviation troops, orders for retreat, and cover!"

"What! Damn Germans! Do they want to take Patton's troops together, or hurt them?"

"Hitler, you bastard, murderous devil! I will definitely not spare you!"

After hearing this, Eisenhower stared at him and roared furiously.

"Then how can I reply to General Patton now? Commander!"

Seeing this, the commander with a nervous face, asked softly and timidly.

"Send the air force to support them in a safe evacuation right away! In addition, let General Cunningham and General Hewitt and others dispatch ships and transport ships to pick up the troops of Patton and Montgomery and evacuate!"

"I want them to retreat immediately, not to fight Sicily to the death, and to maintain enough vitality for our Allied forces to prepare for a future counterattack!"

Eisenhower responded decisively.

"Yes! Commander! I'll go right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the commander immediately saluted respectfully.

Afterwards, after obtaining Eisenhower's consent, he hurriedly turned around and left, and sent a telegram to Patton, Montgomery, Canning and others.

As for Eisenhower, who was still restraining his anger, he gradually calmed down and walked slowly to the telegraph room. He was in a complicated and bored mood and asked the telegrapher in the telegraph room to send a trans-ocean telegraph to President Roosevelt to report on the situation of the war.

At that moment, Eisenhower also didn't know how to truthfully report such unfavorable results to President Roosevelt and how to maintain his current status.

But no matter how frustrated, negative and troubled Eisenhower was, he finally reported the most realistic situation of the battle, truthfully without any fraud.

Then he gave a light breath, his mood full of worry, and turned into an optimistic and calm state.

"Hey! Since I don't have the ability to change the changes in my official position now, I will try my best to evacuate all the remnants of Montgomery and Patton before I am revoked! May God be with me and bless me to succeed!"
