Chapter 164: Can Tell the Dead to Live
Malena said worriedly: "It won't happen, I'm afraid many people will die."
"Rest assured, we are very safe here. The Italian army will not fight us, and the US military will not fight us. The war will be over soon. Only by deciding the winner can we usher in real stability and peace." Jiang Hao comforted. .
Jiang Hao protects this place very well. As for how many people die outside, it has nothing to do with him.
The war is still going on,
The whole Sicily was full of gunpowder smoke, but Jiang Hao's manor was very quiet. One day, a car suddenly drove into the manor, and it was Jensen who came over. Jiang Hao asked in surprise, "Mr. Jensen, you shouldn't be at the forefront. Why, why do you have time to come here now?"
"Mr. Bernano, General Patton wants to see you." Jason said.
"Barton, George Barton?"
"Yes, General George Patton, commander of the US 7th Army, he is now in the small town of Colleone, 30 kilometers away, our army has advanced there, and the next target is Palermo." Jensen said.
"OK, no problem." Jiang Hao thought for a while and said.
Sakadu drove and took Jiang Hao to the small town of Colleone, 30 kilometers away. At this time, it had already become a huge military camp. Under the leadership of Jensen, Jiang Hao was in the town government office building. Saw General Patton.
General Patton was wearing a straight U.S. military uniform with three stars on his epaulettes and hat, and looked at Jiang Hao with a scrutiny.
Although Jiang Hao doesn't know much about this American general, he also knows his name. He is a very individual general, born in a military family, with a hot temper and a very good fighting art, but at this moment the general is 58 years old. His temples were already white, and Jiang Hao knew that he would die in a car accident two years later.
"I never thought that the godfather of Sicily, Renato Bernano, would be so young. Are you thirty years old this year?" General Patton asked.
"Yes, it's just thirty years old this year." Jiang Hao said neither humble nor arrogant.
Although the other party is a world-famous iron-blooded general, Jiang Hao is an outsider, and the other party will not cause him any psychological pressure.
"Your people have helped us a lot. The information you provided allowed us to capture Sicily more smoothly. For this, I think the Allies should thank you." Patton said.
"I don't like Mussolini." Jiang Hao said.
Barton looked at Jiang Hao and smiled, "Yes, I don't like him either."
Patton walked to a map and saw a panoramic topographic map of Sicily, which marked the location of many German and Italian troops. Jiang Hao's organization also contributed a lot to this map.
Patton pointed at Palermo with a baton and said, "Next, we are going to attack Palermo, the capital of Sicily. There are 50,000 Italian defenders here. Is there any way you can make it easier for us to capture him? "
After Patton finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Hao.
"How easy the general wants to be." Jiang Hao asked.
Barton was taken aback, "How easy it is, the simpler the better, the less casualties the better."
Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, "I can try, maybe I can let the general take him down easily."
"How easy."
This time it was Patton's turn to ask.
"How about letting the people of Palermo 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 making fun of General Patton, and Patton was also a little angry, and sneered: "Of course, if that's the case, I will recommend you to be the city of Palermo. Long, even, the Governor of Sicily."
The smile on Jiang Hao's face became even stronger, "That's it."
Jiang Hao left, and no one in the entire US military command believed that what Jiang Hao said was true.
In the evening, Jiang Hao brought several of his men directly to Palermo, quietly went to the Italian military camp, and met General Flavio, the highest commander of the Palermo garrison.
Previously, because Jiang Hao was the first businessman to support the supply of materials for the Palermo defenders, and then continued to supply them, Jiang Hao also attended several high-level military receptions and got to know several big bosses in Palermo.
"Bernano, do you have anything to do with me now, I don't have time to entertain you." General Flavio said with a slight frown.
"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 became cold, he looked at Jiang Hao and said slowly, "You, who have joined the Americans, are you a lobbyist for them?"
Jiang Hao spread his hands, "I am Italian, but I hate Mussolini. The current form is in front of us. The US military is just 50 kilometers away. They have hundreds of thousands of troops, fully equipped, and air and sea support. "
"What about you, there are only 50,000 defenders and nothing else, and I also know that many people have deserted and fled, the morale of the army is extremely low, do you think you can resist the offensive of the US military, I think it is just pointless Sacrifice, it's just that some people lose their loved ones in vain."
General Flavio was silent.
What Jiang Hao said is true. He has nothing but 50,000 demoralized scumbags in his hands. Indeed, some people are no longer willing to fight. The report sheets handed in on his desk are already piled up. All are lists of fleeing soldiers.
If in the past, these people were to be caught and sentenced, but now, there are too many to manage.
"Your Excellency, we talked before. I know that you like art and architecture. Palermo is a thousand-year-old capital and the pearl of Sicily. If the US military attacks the city, it will definitely launch a carpet bombing. At that time, Palermo will Mo's buildings will be gone."
General Flavio had a tangled expression on his face. He studied architecture and joined the army later, but he still loves architecture. After coming to Palermo, his greatest hobby was to inspect every ancient building and never tire of it.
Also because of their common artistic hobby, Jiang Haocai and the general had a common topic and became familiar with each other.
Jiang Hao continued to stir up the three-inch incorrupt tongue:
"What about the people of Palermo, what did they do wrong, are you willing to watch them cry in the fire and struggle in the fire, then, even after a hundred years, Palermo will remember you, it's you It ruined their generation."
"And if you make the right choice, I am willing to erect a statue of you in the Palermo Museum, with the inscription below, General Flavio is to protect the people of Palermo and the millennium building, willing to take responsibility and give up resistance of."
Come on, the dead are all alive by him.
General Flavio struggled for a long time, and finally said: "Then, what treatment can I keep."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Hao showed a smile on his face.
