Patton was born in a military family. He grew up under the influence of the family atmosphere. When he was seven years old, he learned how to use guns with his father. When he became an adult, he was admitted to West Point Military Academy . Participated in the U.S.-Mexico border conflict and World War I. Through this experience, he grew into a mature military commander. General Patton was a person who strictly demanded himself. He would go to the front line to fight with the soldiers every time. Here he slowly learned the true inner needs of the soldiers.
General Patton's World War II performance and comparison with Li Yunlong
1. Lead by example and have strict military discipline
The familiar Li Yunlong wanted to be the first to rush to the enemy's position in every battle. General Patton was also such a person. During World War II, he never liked to stay in the command post. Instead, after determining the battle target, he handed it over to the adjutant and drove the tank and charged with the soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of an army is often reflected in the details. In Patton's army, the requirements are extremely strict, whether it is daily dress or military camp garrison, they are very particular. Even if the clothes and collars do not meet the requirements, they will be punished.

2. To boost morale before the war
Like Li Yunlong, General Patton would also inspire the soldiers with speeches before each war. Patton's talent for speaking had already been shown in the early days of his military career. Every time he gave a speech, he could be described as "dirty". During the pre-war mobilization, he once cursed Rommel "son of a bitch", Hitler "son of a bitch", etc. This kind of speech can often inspire the soldiers' emotions more. Like Li Yunlong, these dirty words often come to his lips.
During World War II, General Patton was not the main point of attack, but he was the first general to invade Germany and accomplished the feat of drinking the Rhine River.
3. The glory ended instantly
Those who have read the original work of "Bright Sword" should know the ending. The editor will not go into details here. After the war, General Patton preached that he would continue the war with the Soviet Union and confused the Nazi Party with the US government. It caused an uproar at the time and the government had to relieve him of his military command. On December 21 of the same year, General Patton died in a car accident.
It can be said that the honor of a lifetime has been ruined by this mouth. Interested readers recommend watching the movie "General Patton". The editor will also explain the movie soon. I hope everyone will like it, follow it and support it.
