The Travelers of the Heavens

"Stop it! Don't go any further!"Army soldiers formed a human wall with guns raised to block the pilots.

"They can betray the Air Force today, but they can betray you tomorrow!" the pilot shot back

"Don't go any further!"An army major pulled out his pistol and fired into the sky. However, the next moment, the pilots participating in the protest pulled out their pistols and pointed at the sky.

During the stalemate, more army soldiers gathered around, and they pointed their Garand semi-automatic rifles at them with eager eyes. Pilots.

The Army's M3 half-track armored vehicles also drove to the scene, and the machine guns on the vehicles were also aimed at the protesting pilots.

The pilots' protest quickly spread to MacArthur, who asked Stratmeyer to handle the matter immediately.

"General, the public is furious, and I think you must come forward and apologize," Lieutenant General Stratmeyer reported to MacArthur after learning about the specific situation.

Forced by the situation, the tough MacArthur had to apologize publicly and promise to launch air strikes every time In the past, careful and careful planning was carried out to calm the anger of pilots at various bases. On

October 6, 1950, at the United Nations Headquarters in Europe in London

"hello george"

"Hello, Ike"

General Eisenhower shook hands with Marshall and said hello

"What happened? I need you to fly to London in person." After sitting down, the orderly officer brought the coffee and Eisenhower asked.

"The situation is very unfavorable to us. Harry asked me to come and discuss it with you." With that, Marshall took out a secret message from his briefcase and handed it to Eisenhower.

"What?! 1,998 planes lost? This is impossible! Eisenhower was shocked after seeing it.

MacArthur did not send a war briefing to his colleagues in Europe.

"I'm sorry, Ike, this is the fact, we lost tens of thousands of outstanding young men in the Navy and Air Force," Marshall said, covering his eyes in a very depressed tone.

"So what is the situation in Congress now?" Eisenhower put down the secret message and asked

"Harry and Congress have no choice. In recent months, many people have protested in front of the White House every day, and there have even been many bloody conflicts. Harry hopes that you will launch a counterattack in Western Europe as soon as possible, no matter how big or small, no matter where. If you attack a city, you have to succeed or everyone is going to die," Marshall said.

"George, come and see." Eisenhower thought for a moment and led Marshall to the map hanging on the wall.

"According to the intelligence obtained from aerial reconnaissance, the enemies in Western Europe are retreating across the board. We can use this opportunity to send troops ashore from Normandy and fight all the way to Bagui," Eisenhower said. At this time, the Kyushu Army was retreating eastward from various parts of Western Europe, and Eisenhower already knew this situation, but did not launch a large-scale counterattack rashly. He was observing the further movements of the Kyushu Army and waiting for more reinforcements.

"What did you say?! Are the enemies in Western Europe retreating across the board?"Marshall said in surprise

"Yes, they are evacuating Gaul. At present, their leading troops have withdrawn through Germany and entered the original Goose Kingdom, and they are continuing to withdraw eastward," Eisenhower said.

"Could this be another deception?" Marshall asked.

"The specific situation is still being investigated and verified, but we can’t control so much now. Harry’s side urgently needs a victory," Eisenhower said.

"What specific plans do you have?"After sitting down again, Marshall asked

"I am going to let George Jr. lead his 3rd Army ashore from Normandy to attack Bali and liberate the entire Gaul. I will also send Matthew's 18th Airborne Corps to airdrop Bali to cooperate with George's ground troops. This will build up the momentum. I"I think this will help Harry and Congress," Eisenhower said.

George Jr. refers to General George Patton, who is currently the commander of the 3rd Army of the US Army and also serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the United Nations Ground Forces.

In reality, General Patton served in 1945 He died in a car accident in December of that year, but there was no east-west Allied alliance on the Elbe River, and Patton somehow escaped the car accident. The old guy is still running around.

And Matthew is the current M Lieutenant General Matthew Ridgway, commander of the 18th Airborne Corps of the National Army

"Thank you very much, Ike." Marshall listened to Eisenhower's words, and he shook hands with Eisenhower very excitedly.

"I will do my best," Eisenhower responded.

"Okay, Ike, I have to fly to Taiwan, so I won’t stop here any longer." Then Marshall prepared to leave.

"Rest for two days before leaving," Eisenhower said.

"No, the situation waits for no one." Marshall insisted and set off immediately.

"Well, I wish you all the best." Eisenhower couldn't force him to stay.

After sending Marshall away, Eisenhower called Patton and Ridgway to deploy combat operations.

"marvelous! Ike, I've long wanted to fight back to Western Europe!"When he learned that Eisenhower had approved the plan to counterattack Western Europe, Patton danced excitedly.

After deploying the combat operation

"George, your troops will be our attack arrows. The enemy is not only powerful but also very cunning. You must be careful and maintain a wide front no matter what to prevent being surrounded by the enemy," Eisenhower warned.

"Don't worry Ike, I'm going to kick their ass this time!"Patton assured.

The counterattack of the European United Nations forces was scheduled for October 25, 1950. This is the so-called"Second Normandy landing operation."

Taiwan, United Nations Headquarters in Asia and the Pacific

"George, why are you here?"MacArthur said as he came in from the door.

"The situation is critical and I have to come in person," Marshall responded.

"hello george"

"Hello Doug."

Then the two shook hands with each other.

After sitting down, the orderly brought coffee

"Is it because of the failed air raid in North China that Congress and Harry sent you to remove me from office?"MacArthur asked

"No, no, no, Doug, don’t get me wrong. Harry hopes you can launch a successful counterattack as soon as possible to divert unfavorable public opinion. Now the people in the country are very disappointed with Harry and the government, and the morale of the army is also very low. As a soldier, Dao"You don't want to see our army decline like this," Marshall said.

"I am planning a landing at Chaoxian or Yuenan," MacArthur said.

"oh? It seems you have a plan," Marshall said.

"Yes, there are no enemies in Chaoxian territory. There is only a United Front called the Chaoxian United Front. They have just gained independence not long ago. I think they will welcome us." In front of the huge sand table, MacArthur pointed to the location of Chaoxian. Said.

This"Chao Xian National Independence United Front" is a loose alliance, with two factions in it, namely the pro-Goose faction and the pro-M faction.

With the demise of the Goose Kingdom and a series of countries in Eastern Europe, the pro-Goose faction has become a rootless bastard. Ping, quickly lost ground in this loose alliance, so now the so-called"United Front" is basically dominated by the pro-M faction. From time to time,

MacArthur would send planes to transport weapons and equipment to them and even send people to help them train the army. Once the M army launches a landing operation at this time, it will definitely be welcomed and supported by the"United Front"

"Can it be guaranteed to be foolproof? asked Marshall

"I guarantee that we can occupy Chaoxian and threaten the northeastern region of the Republic of China," MacArthur said

"Doug, you'd better be careful and there must be no accidents this time," Marshall warned.

"George what's wrong with you? You know what I am capable of," MacArthur said.

"Because of this, you have to be more careful. You have the ability, but you also have the problem of underestimating the enemy. This is very dangerous." Marshall was too embarrassed to poke MacArthur's sore spots again, so he could only remind him in this way.

"Okay, I get it," MacArthur said.

"Well, I can go back to Washington and report to Harry," Marshall said.

""Wait a minute, George, rest for a few days before going back, you don't care about the time," MacArthur said.

Marshall felt that it made sense, so he rested in Taiwan for two days, and then flew back to Country M to report to Truman.

MacArthur landed The battle plan for Chaoxian was set for November 3, 1950, a few days later than the counterattack of the European and United Nations forces.

MacArthur planned to mobilize troops from his 8th Army and the five Kuomintang armies to participate in this combat operation.
