"Deputy Commander-in-Chief Yang, please don't worry!"

Seeing that Yang Fan was so angry, Stilwell quickly cast a comforting look at him, then looked at Cunningham very seriously and said, "Cunningham, as the commander-in-chief of the North African War Zone Allied Forces, I have the right to order the Mediterranean Fleet to participate in cooperative combat and provide cover for the Chinese Huben Navy to attack the Taranto Port.

If you insist on not cooperating with the cooperation of combat, then I can only file a complaint with the Allied General Command and ask the British Empire to send another naval general who dares to fight to take over your position.

I think there should be a few such naval generals in the British Empire, and they shouldn't be scared out of fear."

"Oh, Shet!"

The clay man is also very angry. He was ruthlessly stormed in public. Even if Cunningham is thick-skinned, he can't stand it anymore. He shouted in anger:

"Since you are determined to seek death, I will fulfill your wishes. Isn't it just to cooperate with the cover to fight? The British Empire Royal Fleet can escort you to the front line at any time."

"Very good, this matter has been decided. As for the specific implementation details, we will discuss them separately in the future."

Before Cunningham could have a chance to go back on his word, Yang Fan directly took a photo of the board, then picked up a telegram on the table and said:

"Next, we will get to the topic of today. Just now, the Allied Headquarters sent us another telegram urging us to organize a counterattack as soon as possible, repel the Rommel Legion, and ensure the smooth flow of transportation lines between the European and Asian battlefields.

In addition, the Allied Headquarters requires us to distribute some of our troops as soon as possible to rush to assist the Soviet Caucasus Front and prevent the German army from establishing direct contacts between the 26 Turkish divisions on the Soviet-Turkey border."

"So today we are summoning everyone to come, mainly for these two things. What should our combat goal be?"

"Our combat goal is just to expel the German army to ensure the safety of the Suez Canal, or should we determine a more enterprising goal?"

"The other is whether we should send troops to reinforce the Soviet Caucasus Front, and if we want to go, which unit should we send how many troops to go?"

"Please speak freely for the above matters, and I want to hear your opinions."

As soon as Yang Fan finished speaking, a US military adviser immediately responded:

"Since the counterattack against the German and Italian coalition is an order from the Allied headquarters, what else can I say? Of course, it must be implemented resolutely. We should have fought a beautiful counterattack war long ago!"

"No, I don't think that if the Allied Headquarters issued an order, we must execute it unconditionally."

At this time, a British military staff officer did not know whether he was just arguing or was unwilling to fight Rommel's army so hasty, and immediately retorted loudly:

"It is completely understandable that the Allied Headquarters are eager for a beautiful victory to boost the morale of the army, but after all, the Allied Headquarters does not fully understand the situation on the front line. I think we should have our own independent and accurate judgment!"

The US military staff responded with some dissatisfaction: "I'm afraid it's not that simple on the surface. I think the most fundamental reason is that you have lost the courage to fight and dare not take the initiative to attack the Germans, right?"

In addition, a US military adviser immediately said: "That's right, since the Allied Headquarters issued an order, we must implement it unconditionally.

The best defense is attack. If you fear the enemy and dare not fight back, you just shy away from defense. Sooner or later, we will be eaten by the German army bite by bite, there is no doubt about this!"

The British military adviser said: "Damn it, are you Americans brave enough to fight? When did our British Empire fear war? But bravery and fearlessness do not mean being reckless!"

"Hmph, who can't say beautiful words? But can beautiful words defeat the enemy? Can you change the nature of your timid and cowardly?"

"Oh, Shet! Damn American, you..."

"Enough!"

As expected, he didn't say anything but speculation. In just two or three sentences, the staff officers of the United Kingdom and the United States were about to squat each other. Yang Fan frowned and shouted loudly: "Shut up all of them. Can the problem be solved by just a quarrel?"

There was a thunder sound on the ground, and the US military staff and British military staff who were about to fight happily were immediately silent and did not dare to fight each other again.

Because before this, through large-scale fights and military confrontation drills, Yang Fan had established enough prestige and became the well-deserved leader of the North African Allied Forces.

Even though there are still many British troops and the US generals are not convinced by Yang Fan, at least in public, they will never dare to challenge Yang Fan's authority.

Seeing that these shrimp soldiers and crab generals were not powerful, they had all the unnecessary quarrels, so Yang Fan turned his gaze directly to Patton and asked softly: "General Patton, what do you think of this?"

"His Excellency Deputy Commander-in-Chief."

Patton nodded at Yang Fan and pondered: "Although I also want to launch a counterattack against the German and Italian coalition forces immediately and win an extremely beautiful victory as ordered by the Allied Headquarters.

But to be honest, the Allied forces on the battlefield in North Africa are far weaker than those in the German army, regardless of their strength, weapons, combat literacy and morale.

So, I think it is the stupidest choice to launch a counterattack directly from the front and fight against the German and Italian coalition forces."

Yang Fan smiled slightly and said, "General Patton, please continue to talk."

"Okay, Deputy Commander-in-Chief."

Patton looked at Yang Fan and saw that he didn't seem to object, so he continued: "I think at this stage, the best decision for the Allied forces is to choose a solid stronghold, wait for the Axis army to attack, and fight a large-scale attributable war with the Axis army."

"Through the war of attrition, the advantage of the logistics supply line is used to consume a large amount of military supplies, especially fuel, of the Axis military, which is the biggest shortcoming of the Axis military."

"As long as the Axis troops run out of fuel, their aircraft and tanks will become decorations, and by that time, the time for the Allied forces to launch a large-scale counterattack."

"very good!"

Yang Fan couldn't help but applaud because Patton's thinking was exactly the same as his.

Although Yang Fan has always emphasized that the best defense is offense, he has always belittled the British. He has lost his courage and no spirit of taking the initiative to attack, which has made them cry.

However, this does not mean that Yang Fan would turn the Allies into defense and offensive, and would also lead the Chinese Expeditionary Force to rush to the front and fight to the death with Rommel's army.

Because Mr. Yang never loses money by killing an enemy of 1,000, and he loses himself by 800. For Yang Fan, a miserable victory is equivalent to failure, and it is a completely unacceptable failure.

"Ah, keep holding on to the defense?"

"What does he mean?"

"Why is it not right??"

However, at this time, Okinlek, Ritch and others were all confused because they unanimously believed that Yang Fan would definitely emphasize taking the initiative and resolutely implementing the counterattack order of the Allied Headquarters, but he did not expect that he suddenly came and did the opposite.
