Barton is a legend. Throughout his life, he showed distinctive personal characteristics, which caused different comments from the world. Many people think that he is "a genius who leads the army, the pioneer with the most offensive spirit" and "Napoleon of the twentieth century". However, some people think that he is "both intelligent and brave" and "arrogant and flashy". Military scholars pointed out: "As commander-in-chief, General Barton's greatest feature is to inspire his subordinates with his martial spirit and influence them to March forward bravely on the battlefield with his personality."

Eisenhower 1890 was born in Kansas, USA. His choice of military career is not entirely out of personal hobbies, nor the wishes of his parents, but related to his family. His family is poor, and his other six brothers have no higher education. Eisenhower can only enter West Point Military Academy for free. His mother is a pacifist and doesn't want her son to join the army, but it's not convenient to stop him. Plus 19, the war in the United States continued at the end of the century, so joining the army is a sacred and fresh thing for young people.

On the eve of World War I, Eisenhower graduated from West Point Military Academy with the rank of second lieutenant. Because of the war, many students went to France to participate in the war, but he was left at home for training. He founded the first chariot training camp of the US Army and became a major officer at the age of 28. The commander of Panama, Major General Connor, took a fancy to the young man's military talent and invited him to serve in Panama. During his three years in Panama, he was specially trained by Connor, and his military knowledge and skills were greatly improved. Later, Connor accompanied him into the Army Command and Staff College for training. Eisenhower studied hard and trained hard, and graduated with the first place in the school 1926. Then go to the Army Military Academy for two years.

During Eisenhower's early military career, I had the privilege of meeting two famous American officers Pershing and MacArthur. He worshipped these two men and followed them desperately, especially MacArthur for six years. First, I went to the army general staff, and then I went to the Philippines together. MacArthur spoke highly of him and appointed him as an assistant military adviser in the Philippines. 1In September, 939, the German army invaded Poland, and he insisted on returning to China despite the dissuasion and retention of MacArthur and others. After returning to China at the end of the year, he served as the logistics planning officer of the US Western Military Command. 194 1 year, Eisenhower was appointed as the head of the team, and later served as the chief of staff of the third army, and was promoted to brigadier general. 194165438+On February 7th, Japan attacked the US military base at Pearl Harbor. On the 8th, the United States declared war on Japan. On the fifth day after Pearl Harbor, Marshall called Eisenhower to return to Washington. This is of course related to Eisenhower's familiarity with military issues in the Philippines and the Pacific, but more importantly, he has rich experience in staff work. He first served as the deputy director of the war planning department, and soon the planning department was upgraded to the war department and was appointed as the director of the war department. A few weeks later, he was promoted to major general. This is the beginning of his long-term cooperation with Marshall when he entered the high command.

Eisenhower at this time, although not qualified to attend those high-level meetings on allied strategic issues, was able to guide global strategic actions on behalf of American interests from the perspective of the supreme commander. Eisenhower noticed that while the attention of the American government and the public was focused on the Pacific battlefield, Roosevelt and Marshall gave priority to the European battlefield. He agrees with this strategic view. 1in March, 942, he put forward the basic idea of how to wage war to the war department staff: concentrate a large number of American troops in Britain and refuse to use them in any peripheral attacks. He should gain the air superiority over Europe, and then cross the strait from Britain and point to France and Germany. Although the British people agree with this basic idea in principle, they have different opinions on many specific issues. Marshall also ordered Eisenhower to make a field trip to Britain, and set up an American command post in Britain to make suggestions for the future implementation plan. When he returned to Washington to give a report, President Roosevelt accepted Marshall's suggestion and appointed Eisenhower as the commander-in-chief of the American European theater in London. Soon, Eisenhower became commander-in-chief of the allied forces in North Africa. Before that, he didn't command the battle alone, but his first major task after taking office was successful, and the landing operation of the Anglo-American Coalition forces in North Africa went smoothly. This proves that Marshall has a unique vision. Eisenhower became famous for this. 1943 in February as commander-in-chief of the allied forces in North Africa and the Mediterranean.

Eisenhower showed outstanding military, political and diplomatic abilities in commanding allied forces to fight in North Africa, Sicily and Italy, and in realizing cooperation with allies, and was known as "soldier, politician and diplomat". He is firm, decisive and generous, and has full trust in his subordinates. Despite possible political criticism, Eisenhower decided to recognize Admiral Darren of Vichy government in North Africa as the supreme commander of France in the region, thus avoiding resistance and accelerating the process of allied forces in North Africa. 1at the end of 942, Kesselring Pass was defeated. Unswervingly, he took timely measures to send General Barton to replace the incompetent commander of the Second Army, Fredenda. Brooke, Montgomery and others once looked down on Eisenhower and even made some sharp criticisms from time to time. He is still magnanimous and tries to make Anglo-American cooperation a reality. Under the difficult circumstances at that time, Eisenhower's command, if determined, first won the victory in North Africa, then captured Sicily and advanced into Italy. 1944 promoted to five-star general. He increased the first batch of landing troops from three divisions to five divisions, leaving other details to Montgomery and Bradley to deal with and care about what he thought was more important. Eisenhower realized that the problem of air superiority is very important and the most difficult one. He asked the British Air Force to carry out the Normandy War under his control. This decision was opposed by British strategic air force commander Harris, which made Eisenhower, who has always been cautious and kind, furious. On March 23, he announced: "If this problem cannot be satisfactorily solved, I will petition to resign." The British chief of staff had to agree to put the strategic air force under Eisenhower's command. The US Air Force and the air forces of other countries concerned have also made the same arrangement. Then, he reached an agreement with the French to bear the loss. In this way, the problem of air superiority was solved by Eisenhower. At first, the Normandy landing was planned for May, but it was postponed to June due to bad weather. By June 6, Eisenhower decided to attack, although the weather forecast was still very bad. Before that, he made a feint on the Dover Strait. At 2 am on the 6th, allied paratroopers and airlift troops first landed in Normandy, followed by air and sea bombing. At 6: 30, 6.5438+0.2 million people from five divisions carried by more than 4,000 warships landed in Normandy, consolidating the landing site. The first battle was won late at night. In September, France was liberated. Eisenhower then commanded the troops, repelled the German counterattack in Ardennes, broke through siegfried line, entered Germany, and wiped out a large number of Germans. Eisenhower was promoted to be a five-star general of the army because of his brilliant exploits in World War II.

After World War II, Eisenhower was the commander of the American occupation troops in Germany. /kloc-returned to China in 0/945 and served as the chief of staff of the US military. 1948 once retired from active service and served as president of Columbia University. 1950 went to France as the supreme commander of NATO armed forces. 1952 retired and participated in the presidential election, and was elected by an overwhelming majority. American presidents from 1953 to 1960. During the election campaign, he proposed ending the Korean War. 1953 took office and signed the Korean armistice agreement. 1957 put forward "Eisenhower Doctrine" in an attempt to control the Middle East. 1In June, 957, Eisenhower proposed in his special speech on Middle East policy to Congress that Congress should authorize the President to carry out the "military assistance and cooperation plan" in the Middle East, and he could use American armed forces in the Middle East under the pretext of dealing with "imperialist aggression"; In two years, 400 million US dollars will be allocated to provide economic "assistance" to countries in the Middle East and the Near East. The US Congress passed this resolution on March 7th. On March 9th, Eisenhower signed this resolution which was later called "Eisenhower Doctrine".

At that time, the British and French invasion of Egypt failed, and the United States attempted to use this plan, with the threat of force as a means, economic assistance as a bait, and anti-* * as a cover to further crowd out the forces of Britain and France and other countries in order to realize its plot to monopolize the Middle East. Later, Eisenhower doctrine was also used outside the Middle East. Eisenhower doctrine was opposed by the people in the Middle East. The governments of Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Jordan have twice issued statements rejecting Eisenhower Doctrine. 1959, with the death of secretary of state Dulles, Eisenhower doctrine was eclipsed. From 1953 to 196 1, Eisenhower was re-elected as the president of the United States for two terms. During his tenure, he held high-level talks with Khrushchev, chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers, at Camp David in the United States. The "Camp David Talks" set a precedent for the summit meeting between the United States and the Soviet Union during and after the Cold War.

Eisenhower was an American president who served in the army for half his life and achieved outstanding results. Modern warfare needs all kinds of knowledge and talents. To give full play to the role of all aspects, without mutual friction and self-consumption, we need someone to coordinate. Eisenhower may not be as good as Barton and Montgomery in specific campaign command, but he is very talented in coordinating various relations. He won wide trust and support with a firm, calm and equal attitude towards others. He is also good at discovering talents, so Montgomery, Barton, Van Follette and many other famous players can be used by him. 1969 died on March 28th.
