Chapter 847

Just as akkado's salty pig hands were wandering around Anna's full chest, the knock on the door happened to ring. The two men quickly picked up their clothes and arranged their slightly messy hair. Anna stands at akado's desk with a red face. Akado pretends to sit on the sofa a little further away and picks up a document.

"Come in." When the two people, as on the stage, set their respective positions, akado called out the order which should have been called out long ago. For a moment, he even felt that he and Anna should go to the movies, which would be absolutely lifelike.

No one would come except Fanny and Cinderella who would knock on the door of acardo's office. This is also the reason why akado and Anna can't help themselves just now: basically, when no one comes, it's harmless to indulge themselves a little, isn't it?

"My Fuehrer!" Hindra came to the front of akado with a pair of short-sighted glasses that looked very beautiful. She stood at attention and saluted: "the latest news from the front line."

"What about the front line? Have you heard from Smolensk What akkado is most concerned about now is nothing more than the war situation in Smolensk. As long as a beautiful war of annihilation is fought in Smolensk, the German supplies will be able to go south smoothly ♀ In this way, the German army in the South will have a more flexible operational plan.

Hindra peeked at Anna, who was standing there and didn't know what she was thinking, then withdrew her eyes: "yes, Fuehrer. According to the operational report just sent back by lundstedt, the troops of group a army have entered Smolensk, and the last nail of the Soviet Union behind our defense line has been pulled out. "

"Hoo Akado let out a breath and let go of a worry. The battle of Smolensk is an important link in Germany's foreign war. Now that this link has been successfully won, it will depend on the final outcome of the Caucasus war. After the German army occupied Smolensk, there was no obstacle to attack Moscow. Whether it was Stalin or Zhukov, we should carefully consider whether the German army's next attack plan was Moscow or Stalingrad.

"Any news from Rommel?" After Smolensk was settled, akkado was in a good mood. He took half of the cup of coffee on the coffee table and took another sip before he asked.

For a long time, the news of the African Legion has not been the strategic focus of the national defense forces. Since winning Cairo, Mussolini's interest in attacking the Middle East has been lacking. Recently, Mussolini and the secret representatives of the United States have been eyeing each other, hoping that the axis powers and the United States can reach mutual understanding and restore real world peace.

Because of his disappointment with the Italian army, he changed from a man who supported foreign expansion and launched an aggressive war to a man who hoped to obtain greater interests through diplomatic means. He preferred to find a suitable critical point to make peace with the United States and end the war by virtue of the invincible situation of the German army. The secret envoy sent by the United States gave Mussolini quite a lot of hints, making him feel that the United States is weak and deceptive, and Italy can obtain massive oil exploitation rights in the Middle East through diplomatic blackmail.

The discovery of a large amount of oil in Libya also gave Mussolini the idea of withdrawing from the war. After all, his scarce resources have been met to a great extent. The war has lost most of its significance to Italy, so Mussolini's support for North Africa has become slow and sluggish.

Without Italy's full support, Rommel's supplies became tight, and it became very difficult to cross the Suez Canal defense line built by the United States and Britain. At least under the full defense of the United States, it was too radical to seize Suez and complete the plan to enter the Middle East.

Instead, there is a plan called "Turkish express". This plan is to transport part of the main force of German general schelner's l group army to Turkey by Turkish, German and Italian transport ships, and lead 150000 Turkish troops to attack Iraq and Syria to the south.

This plan requires Germany to secretly transport schelner's most elite 12th armored force to Turkey, cooperate with Turkey's 150000 elite troops, go south to the Middle East, bypass the Suez Canal defense line carefully arranged by the United States, and occupy the important oil producing area in the Middle East at one stroke.

However, the implementation of this plan is so complicated that Rommel himself, who has been advocating the reopening of the North African battlefield, does not believe that this plan can be successfully implemented. First of all, he quietly transported tens of thousands of troops to Turkey, where British and American spies are all over the country. This article almost sentenced him to death.

Then, Turkey's offer is too high for the Germans to bear. They even exchanged such a battle for one tenth of Germany's share of oil in the Middle East. If this price is used to bribe Italy, it seems more cost-effective to akkado.

But that doesn't stop akado from doing more at a cheap price. Finally, the Supreme Command drew up a more feasible plan, code named "barbecue". This plan is the first time that strategy master Manstein drew up a genius action plan without being reminded by akkado.

With its precise and unique strategic vision, Manstein changed the original Turkish express plan, making a ridiculous plan a gifted strategic deception.

As a matter of fact, the whole plan has not been changed, only the troops to be implemented have been changed. Let Vichy, the French navy and the Italian Navy contribute to transport three infantry divisions of the j group army under Hawke, who is idle in the Balkans, to Turkey to carry out the plan of southward attack. Compared with the 12th Panzer Army, the three infantry divisions have much less materials to transport, and the main body of transport has changed from Turkey to defeated Vichy France, so Turkey can't charge too much. Although the ability to attack South has been greatly reduced, it is still a question whether the U.S. Army, which has lost the canal defense line, can stop the German infantry of the next three divisions. In this way, the U.S. forces in the Middle East have created a difficult problem: whether to divide the forces to prevent the German forces from going south from Turkey. Once the troops are divided, whether the army of Rommel and sherner, who are on the other side of the Suez Canal, can stop them. The barbecue program was secretly implemented a month ago. The main reason for the delay is that the North African Legion only managed to gather the oil and ammunition supplies needed for the operation a month ago. One of the reasons for akado's support for Rommel's launch of the North Africa campaign once again is to prevent moxoniri from continuing to fight both sides of the snake and mouse with a brilliant victory. In another time and space, akkado, who knows the history of the war of liberation, of course understands the tactics of the United States. He takes the promise of negotiation as a means of delaying time, and then immediately overturns the negotiation table and goes to war when he is ready. This is the consistent style of the United States. If anyone really believes that the United States is willing to share the world with it, it's really out of his mind. Fortunately, the oil found in Libya has somewhat eased the African Army's dependence on oil, at least allowing Rommel's troops to produce the oil they need locally. In addition, the initial success of the transformation of the Arsenal in Cairo and other places has relieved the African Legion a lot of logistical pressure. If only a few months ago, Rommel could not even imagine that he could get the chance to attack the Middle East before the start of the battle in the Caucasus. It has to be admitted that with the exploitation of Libya's oil fields and the gradual development of African logs and other resources, the strategic resource reserves of the axis countries have gradually improved. In addition to rubber products, which are still stretched due to geographical constraints, most of the other important resources have been supplemented and developed by expansion and war. Judging from the situation of Germany in 1937, it is obviously unrealistic to launch the war of North Africa and the war of Caucasus at the same time. But now all of this can be achieved, and is in progress“ The barbecue plan is being carried out slowly. Due to the constraints of Turkey and Italy, the second Infantry Division has just started. It will be at least a month before the war in North Africa can start smoothly. " Hindrahui reported: "our spy confirmed that the US intelligence organization in the Middle East has been informed of our army's action plan. The US mainland is urgently transporting two divisions to the Middle East, but the time should not be as fast as us." In the end, the barbecue plan is easier to implement than the Turkish express plan. The German army directly changed the Turkish attack into a feint, and also told the Americans that it was a feint. In terms of confidentiality, the feasibility of this plan is much more than that“ I see. Then I'll personally send a telegram to marshal Rommel to confirm the progress of the action plan. " Akkado thought about it, then waved, signaling that hindra could go out. But before hindra left, an officer in navy uniform stood at the door of akado's office. He knocked on the open door, then stood at attention, raised his hand and gave a German hand salute: "report! Head of state akado? Long live Rudolph“ What's the matter? " Akado looked at the officer and asked directly. The Navy's recent attack plans to go to sea have all been cancelled. I don't think there will be any important things that we have to report in person“ My head of state, because of the use of the wartime emergency production regulations and the new shipbuilding technology, the latest naval aircraft carriers No. 7 and No. 8 started their trial voyage an hour ago. " The naval officer replied, "this time the Navy used a large number of escort ships to ensure that there would be no accident with ship 6. The Navy already has seven aircraft carriers!
