Pershing stood up, excitedly shaking Shire's hand:
"You're absolutely right, Vice Admiral."
"Yes, this is exactly what distinguishes the American Army. Thank you very much, excellent suggestion."
"In fact, you've given me direction. I can almost see such a force standing right in front of me!"
This is not just about fitting the national context; it's also an American political requirement.
Lower casualties will make soldiers and citizens feel safe, leading to more support for the commander, and even the President.
This is the backing for a successful presidential campaign, and it's the basis for Pershing's recognition and even promotion.
Suddenly, Pershing woke up with a start; he looked at Shire in surprise and delight: "You mean, agreeing to the deal, right?"
"Of course," Shire nodded. "After all, we are allies. As you said, the victory of the US Army means easing the pressure on the French Army!"
