"We have no way of knowing what it is!" Eisenhower changed a photo on the projector and said, "What we know is that this thing can cause us a lot of trouble. In fact, we fought with it when we were in Africa:

On May 10, 1942, a group of b17 bombers was reported to be hit by UFOs while bombing the Tozer power station, and the b17 bomber number 38173 was then crashed.

On June 1942, a b17 survived when it was hit by a UFO while bombing the Egwat Highway.

Then the attack density gradually increases...

On June 30, there were 5 similar incidents in July, and 20 in August. There were 5 bombers hit by the crash, and without exception, they were shot down at a height of 10,000 meters..."

"Why haven't we received relevant information before?" Charles de Gaulle interjected.

"We don't want to cause some kind of panic!" Eisenhower replied: "And we seem to have found some solution..."

"Sorry, General!" Charles de Gaulle interrupted Eisenhower again: "I protest against this, strongly protest. Algeria is French territory. When you bomb French territory, you blocked intelligence against us on the grounds of "causing panic"? I reiterate: "Fighting France" is the only legal government in France, and we have the right to know everything about France!"

"Sorry, General Charles de Gaulle!" Eisenhower reminded: "This is not the content of this meeting..."

"I don't think so, General Eisenhower!" said Charles de Gaulle: "All things related to France should be the content of the conference!"

"Fuck it!" General Patton stood up and said, "Shut up your mouth or I'll smash it!"

"Please pay attention to your words, General Patton!" De Gaulle stood up without any weakness: "You are on the land of France, and you have no right to say such things!"

Then the American officials stood up one by one, and the British officials also stood up one by one to help De Gaulle speak. Soon the entire conference room became chaotic.

Eisenhower finally couldn't stand it. He slapped the table hard and said, "If you want to continue to quarrel like this, leave here!"

The conference room finally calmed down.

"General Charles de Gaulle!" said Eisenhower. "I hope you understand that we gathered in this solution, not asking new questions, and if you have to do so, I don't think you're suitable for this meeting!"

Eisenhower thought Charles de Gaulle would leave the conference room because of this, which was exactly what Eisenhower wanted.

But once again, De Gaulle disappointed Eisenhower, who sat in the chair and didn't move, as if nothing had happened just now.

In this regard, De Gaulle is indeed an excellent politician because he knows when to say something or do something that is beneficial to him.

After a moment of silence, Eisenhower continued: "We originally thought these accidents were accidental, but the fact is not that the reconnaissance aircraft discovered that they used launch tracks to launch such aircraft, which we called 'self-destruction aircraft', which made things simple because all we had to do was to get the escort aircraft to pay attention to the ground and destroy it once something like a launcher was found."

As he said that, Eisenhower changed a few more photos and said, "We successfully destroyed several 'self-destructive aircraft' before it was launched. It is somewhat similar to the V1 missile and takes some time to fill fuel before launch. All we need to do is to let the fighter patrol the area where the bomber is going to pass!"

"So, what's the problem?" General Patton asked.

"The problem is here!" Eisenhower switched the projection to the first photo sent to the officer, saying: "They deployed the launch device underground, you can't see anything here, and of course the pilots can't see it either. However, when our bombers pass through the nearby airspace, a silo will appear here, and then a 'self-destruction plane' will be launched. In more than ten seconds, the silo will close again, and then what you see... is only a little smoke!"

The officers in the conference room were talking, and they all knew that in this case, the German army could defeat the US army, but the US army could not defeat the German army... No one would like this.

"How many such silos do they have?" Patton deserves to be a professional soldier, and every question is about the focus.

"We don't know!" Eisenhower replied: "But after temptation, we found that... the entire Western Front is under the control of this 'self-destruction plane'! In other words, if we want to bomb Germany, we have to pay a price, and it may be a heavy price!"

The officers nodded one after another, knowing what this "heavy price" means... Perhaps, a large number of bombers break through from one point at the same time could make the Germans' "self-destruction aircraft" unable to cope with due to the number.

However, when crossing the defense line, one group will be hit by another group when returning, and another group will be hit by another group when returning. This loss is double.

More importantly, bombing targets by bombers was long and frequent, such as the preparations for bombing in France took several months.

If each bombing costs two batches to be shot down, it won't take long before Germany suffered much damage and the Allied bombers were blown up.

"So... we can only attack from the ground!" General Patton gloated and glanced at Montgomery who had been silent and said, "Because it has proved that attacking from the air is not feasible!"

Montgomery certainly knew that General Patton was related to this. On the surface, the "air attack" refers to the bomber's restraint, but in fact, it refers to the heavy casualties of the "Market Garden" operation.

"General Patton!" Montgomery replied: "You need to know one thing. Before that, we had no idea about the underground facilities of the 'self-detonation plane'. You didn't even know until now that misjudgment is inevitable in this situation!"

"Oh, is that?" Barton responded without hesitation: "But, respected Marshal Montgomery, I heard that the German armored troops were waiting for us in the Netherlands. Before the airborne troops arrived, they set traps..."

"But even so, we still have the chance to win!"

"Oh, yes, maybe!" Patton chased Montgomery relentlessly.

Then, nothing unexpected happened, the previous scene appeared in the conference room. The officers from Britain and the United States stood up to argue with each other, and they all blushed and almost didn't take action.
Chapter completed!
