Chapter 462

Akado looked back at the map of England in front of him. He didn't rush to the front line of the Soviet German war because he knew there was a more detailed battle plan there, which was enough for him to stabilize the situation in the West.

The war did not advance in accordance with his plan. Although the Soviet Red Army was not ready for war, Stalin's conceit made him decide to fight rashly when the Germans were not ready. Stalin felt that the German army had no ability to defend its east line while attacking Britain. As long as the war started, the Soviet Union could easily put the red flag of victory on the roof of the residence of the head of state in Berlin.

However, akado did not rush to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Soviet Union at this time. His plan from the beginning was to seize the British islands and establish an absolutely safe Atlantic barrier. It is used to completely strangle US attempts to attack Europe.

God has given the United States a unique defense environment, but also to the United States to dig a huge inconvenience to attack the pit. Akado did not believe that the United States would dare to counterattack Germany across the Atlantic and fight a landing war with Germany on the British island. Therefore, as long as the United Kingdom is defeated, even if the United States wants to make a stab in the future, it is impossible to burn the war directly to the European continent - then Germany can really defend the enemy from the outside world.

At that time, the main battlefields will be North Africa and the eastern front. Akado is confident that Rommel will lead to a different ending in North Africa. As long as he can resist the pressure of the Soviet Union, akado will concentrate on sweeping the remaining British troops in North Africa... When the German armored forces enter Cairo, the Zionist Jews, powerful Germans, Italians, Turks, These forces are enough to turn the Middle East into a pot of paste. The Suez Canal and North African resources will all go into the hands of akkado. At that time, what is the United States?

Powerful industry? Germany, too! World resources? Europe and Asia are just fighting North and South America! Therefore, akadobi knows that the seemingly disordered world pattern is already clear. As long as he takes North Africa, holds the eastern position and defeats the Soviet Red Army, Germany will be the world's rightful overlord.

Why? The reason is very simple: at that time, Germany was a mainland country with unlimited expansion space and partners. On the contrary, the enviable geographical advantage of the United States became a fatal limitation. In terms of alliance expansion after finalization, it was certainly inferior to Germany across Asia, Europe and Africa.

Therefore, in akado's view, as long as he wins two wars, his road to hegemony will be smooth. However, he also knew that the two big problems of winning the war in North Africa and defeating the Soviet Red Army were not as easy as they seemed. Because the outcome of these two battlefields is obviously unknown, it is easy for the Americans to step in and fight these two battlefields into a situation that the Germans do not want to see.

Of course, considering North Africa and the east line, it seems that it is still a little far away, because the British battle is not over yet. The battle in London was very fierce. The fierce battle that had lasted for one month was still going on. The news of the Soviet Union's declaration of war on Germany and Italy inspired Churchill, who was at a dead end, and made him more determined to stick to London.

"How did you feel after a trip to Africa?" Akado suddenly asked a question, asked is standing behind him has been silent confidant love will Rommel.

"My head of state, Italy has a lot of troops in North Africa, but its combat effectiveness is not so good. These troops wasted most of their materials and limited the scale of our troops in Africa in the future. "

Akado nodded. Rommel said that he knew. Italy has invested a lot of strength in North Africa, and to be fair, its combat effectiveness is fairly good. These troops helped the German * team a lot in those years. At least without them, the German African Legion would not be able to gain a firm foothold in North Africa.

However, he still said: "Elvin, I know you don't like the fighting ability of these Italian troops, but they have at least an advantage in quantity. We must also rely mainly on Italian troops in North Africa, because the war has started in the East, so we can't afford to support you any more."

"In this way, I'm really not sure that my troops may not be able to fight Tobruk." Rommel is obviously not satisfied with the number of troops in his hands. After all, he is now responsible for the attack in one direction. The disadvantage in the number makes him feel a little uneasy.

He pointed to the map and continued: "now only a part of the 7th armored division and the infantry of two divisions have been transported to North Africa. I think I have some chance of winning at least when all the 7th armored division have been transported."

"Oh? Not waiting for the follow-up? Direct counterattack? " Akado raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"No, as long as the 7th armored division arrives, I have confidence to defeat here and the British troops here and fight back in this line." Rommel's confident answer.

In order to confuse the British troops, he ordered his subordinates to drive empty trucks through the auditorium repeatedly to be inspected by Italian officers in North Africa. Then he camouflaged the bushes with sticks and tents, so that the British reconnaissance plane doubled the size of the German armored forces. Now the main reason why the British Army didn't fully press on the retreating Italian troops is that it overestimated the strength of the German African Legion.

Rommel used his strategy of delaying the attack to make the British give up the attack on their own initiative. With less than one armored force, Rommel stopped the British plan of occupying ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^. Of course, the large-scale presence of the German air force in North Africa is also an important reason for the British to stop attacking. After all, losing the air supremacy of local battlefields is not good news for any general.

Just when akado and Rommel were talking, Montgomery, who had just arrived at the front line of North Africa, was also trying to persuade his boss: "general, now the Germans must not be as strong as we look, so we should beat the Italians down at one go!"“ oh You said the intelligence provided by the air force was fake? Why The old general obviously did not want to take risks, but asked faintly“ Although Italy's me-109c fighter is not as powerful as Germany's fw-190d fighter, it is still more than enough for air defense in North Africa. Our fighter can't get any advantage, let alone reconnaissance plane! " Said Montgomery, pointing to the information on the table. The old general waved his hand, but still didn't want to believe his deputy. After all, the man who fought with the German army did not win, but was sent to North Africa to replace his old partner. He seriously suspected that general Montgomery had been scared out of courage by the Germans, and even lost the courage that a British general should have. So now he has no enthusiasm for Montgomery's attacking Italian troops before the arrival of the Germans: "general Montgomery, the Italian defense has been strengthened by the German army. This is the information provided by the air force. You can't overturn these evidences because of your own subjective doubt."“ In that pile of intelligence, there are Italian logistics supply analysis, and their transportation capacity report, which can prove that the German troops will not appear in North Africa on a large scale so soon! " Montgomery is about to be angry with the stubborn man above him. He just doesn't want to take action, which makes him helpless. Obviously, the credit for defeating the Italian North African Army was enough for the old general to enjoy for a while, so he was not in a hurry to create greater achievements to keep his title as commander in chief of the British army in North Africa. But Montgomery could guess that Germany was rushing troops to North Africa. Britain now has about 250000 troops in North Africa, but there are not so many troops it can push to the front line. After all, it has to defend Egypt, Somalia and other areas. Therefore, Britain has fewer troops on the front line than Italy, only 160000 more, and most of them are local people. It can be said that this army is very abundant in fighting 350000 Italian troops. After all, as mentioned earlier, the actual combat effectiveness of 350000 Italian troops in North Africa is only 130000 at most. In Rommel's eyes, the rest of the mob are basically food waste. Of course, garbage can be used as garbage. If we help the main forces to hold the rear, they can still complete their tasks. Because more and more German air forces appear over North Africa these days, and there are even instances of German dive bombers attacking British supply bases in groups, Montgomery is becoming more and more anxious about the war situation in North Africa. The main reason is that Montgomery is very clear that as long as more than 100000 German soldiers and an armored force arrive here, the British soldiers on the front line are in danger of being destroyed. Therefore, he is strengthening the defense of Tobruk fortress as much as he can, hoping to use this fortress to block the German attack and save the British Expeditionary Force in North Africa in the future. He himself rushed to the front line, hoping to persuade his immediate superior to launch an attack before the Germans were ready, thus disrupting the enemy's strategic plan. But apparently he failed“ Intelligence shows that the German army has appeared in North Africa, we have not been able to stop the German forces at sea The old general pointed to the map and said, "a few hours ago, we intercepted a telegram from the German to inform the highest headquarters of the Italian North African forces, using the Italian code we have cracked."“ oh What does it say? " Asked Montgomery hastily“ It's a letter of appointment for the Italian officer, Elvin? Rommel has been appointed the highest commander of the Italian North African Army and the German African Legion. " The old general replied, "here comes our opponent."
