Chapter 165: Able to Tell the Dead to Live

Marlena said with some concern: "Nothing will happen, I'm afraid many people will die again."

"Don't worry, we are very safe here. The Italian army will not attack us, and the US army will not attack us. The war will soon pass. Only by deciding the victory or defeat can we usher in real stability and peace." Jiang Hao comforted.

Jiang Hao protected this place very well. As for how many people died outside, it had nothing to do with him.

The war is still ongoing,

The entire Sicily was full of smoke, but Jiang Hao’s manor was very quiet. On that day, a car suddenly drove into the manor. It was Jason who came over. Jiang Hao asked in surprise: “Mr. Jensen, shouldn’t you be on the front line? Why do you have time to come here now?”

"Mr. Bernano, General Patton wants to see you." Jansen said.

"Barton, George Patton?"

"Yes, General George Patton, commander of the 7th Army of the United States, is now in the town of Coleone thirty kilometers away. Our army has advanced there, and the next target is Palermo." Jansen said.

"Okay, no problem." Jiang Hao thought for a while and said.

Sakadu drove Jiang Hao to the town of Coleone 30 kilometers away. At this time, it had already become a huge military camp. Under the leadership of Jensen, Jiang Hao met General Patton in the town government office building.

General Patton was wearing a straight American military uniform, with three stars hanging on his epaulette and hat, and looked at Jiang Hao with a look.

Although Jiang Hao didn't know much about this American general, he also knew his name. He was a very unique general. He came from a military family, had a hot temper and had a very fighting art. However, the general was 58 years old and his temples were gray. Jiang Hao also knew that he died two years later and died in a car accident.

"I really didn't expect that Sicily's godfather, Renato Bernano, would be so young. Are you thirty years old this year?" asked General Patton.

"Yes, I'm just thirty years old this year." Jiang Hao said in a humble and arrogant manner.

Although the other party is a world-famous iron-blooded general, Jiang Hao is an outsider and the other party will not cause any psychological pressure to him.

"Your people have helped us a lot. The information you provide allows us to seize Sicily more smoothly. I think the Allies should thank you for this." Patton said.

"I don't like Mussolini." Jiang Hao said.

Patton looked at Jiang Hao and smiled, "Yes, I don't like him either."

Patton walked to a map and saw a panoramic topography of Sicily, which included many positions of the German Italian army. Jiang Hao's organization also contributed considerable efforts to this map.

Patton pointed at Palermo with a command stick and said, "Next, we will attack Palermo, the capital of Sicily, with 50,000 Italian defenders here. Is there any way for us to seize him more easily?"

After saying that, Patton looked at Jiang Hao.

"General hopes to be more relaxed." Jiang Hao asked.

Patton was stunned, "It's easier, naturally, the simpler the better, and the less casualties, the better."

Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "I can try it, maybe it can allow the general to easily take him."

“How easy.”

This time it was Patton's turn to ask.

"How about let Palermo people welcome you into the city with fruits and flowers?" Jiang Hao said with a smile.

Everyone in the office looked at Jiang Hao blankly, thinking that he was teasing General Patton. Patton was also a little angry and sneered: "Of course, if that's the case, I will recommend you to be the mayor of Palermo, or even the governor of Sicily."

Jiang Hao's smile on his face became stronger, "That's all."

Jiang Hao said goodbye and left. No one in the entire US military command believed that what Jiang Hao said was true.

When he was in the evening, Jiang Hao brought his several of his subordinates to Palermo and quietly came to the Italian military camp, meeting General Flavio, the highest commander of the Palermo defender.

Previously, because Jiang Hao was the first businessman to support the supply of materials for Palermo defenders and then continued to supply them, Jiang Hao also attended several high-level military receptions and met several big bosses in Palermo.

"Bernano, are you doing something to me now? I don't have time to entertain you." General Flavio said with a frown slightly.

"General Flavio, do you think you can resist the footsteps of the US military?" Jiang Hao asked bluntly.

General Flavio's face changed, his eyes turned cold, and he looked at Jiang Hao and said slowly: "Did you defect to the Americans and come to be a lobbyist for them?"

Jiang Hao spread his hands, "I am an Italian, but I hate Mussolini. The current form is in front of me. The US military is just 50 kilometers away. They have more than 100,000 troops, fully equipped, and air and sea support."

"Where are you, there are only 50,000 defenders, nothing else, and I also know that many people have already escaped and the morale of the army is extremely low. Do you think you can resist the offensive of the US military? I think that's just a meaningless sacrifice, which makes some people lose their loved ones in vain."

General Flavio was silent.

Jiang Hao said everything was true. He now has nothing but 50,000 depressed slag soldiers. Indeed, some people are no longer willing to fight. The report lists submitted on his desk are already piled up, all of which are the list of escaped soldiers.

If these people were arrested and sentenced in the past, now there are too many that cannot be controlled.

"God General, we have talked about it before. I know you like art and architecture. Palermo is a thousand-year-old capital and the pearl of Sicily. If the US army sieges the city, it will launch a carpet bombing. By that time, these buildings in Palermo will disappear."

General Flavio showed a tangled expression on his face. He was a background in architecture and later joined the army. However, he still loved architecture. After coming to Palermo, his biggest hobby was to inspect every ancient building and enjoy it.

Because of his common artistic hobby, Jiang Hao and the general had a common topic and became familiar with each other.

Jiang Hao continued to inspire his tongue:

"What about the people of Palermo? What did they do wrong? Are you willing to watch them crying in the fire and struggling in the fire? In that way, even a hundred years later, Palermo will remember you, you ruined their generation."

"And if you make the right choice, I would like to erect a statue of you in the Palermo Museum, carved under it, General Flavio was willing to give up his resistance to protect the Palermo people and the millennium buildings."

Damn, he said that the dead were alive.

General Flavio struggled for a long time and finally said, "Then, what treatment can I keep."
