Redemption of WWII

No.16 Chapter Crisis 1 This chapter is free

The vast Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. 【】In this vast sea of ​​sand, there are many sand dunes of various shapes.There are pyramid-shaped, parabolic, and sand ridges arranged in parallel, the most common being crescent-shaped dunes.However, after being blown by a desert storm, the appearance of the dunes will change greatly.There are also many exposed rocks in the desert that have been eroded by wind into strange shapes such as "castle" and "stone mushroom".

The Sahara Desert is one of the driest and hottest regions in the world, with a tropical desert climate.The average annual precipitation here is less than 100 millimeters. In some places, there is not even a drop of rain within a year. Sometimes there are dark clouds in the desert sky. When it starts to rain, no drop of rain falls on the ground, and it evaporates in mid-air. Lost.It has been raining continuously for the past few days, which has never been seen in the Sahara for decades.

If it weren't for Rommel's fate.If the British attack hadn't been for the rain and the curry problem, Rommel would have been driven everywhere.In fact, Rommel is also a very knowledgeable person, when he was fighting in France.Rommel's [-]th Armored Division has already arrived at Dunkirk, and as long as they work harder, they can reverse the British tortoise shell and step on it again.But when he received Hitler's telegram, he didn't even report to the German Army Command.I rushed to Paris to attend the entrance ceremony.If it were another general, he would definitely fight in Dunkirk, lose both sides with the British team, and then be scolded by Hitler.

It has to be said that Rommel will be a man, and he can understand the form at that time, and hold Hitler's back tightly.He is determined not to do anything that does not work well.As a result, he became the most outstanding person in the French campaign of World War II.It was mentioned again and again by Hitler.In less than two years, he got the throne of Marshal.Rommel was actually smart enough, and he treated Hans and Andri with majesty and affection.To put it bluntly, Rommel was daunted by Andrei's parents' family alone. Although Rommel was a marshal, he was just a tool for fighting in the eyes of others.It's not a problem to kill him.

So Rommel didn't pay much attention to discipline Andrei no matter how messed up he was.At most, it was only three weeks of confinement for Andri.It's good for everyone to be merciful. Afterwards, after Rommel led the army, he also gave priority to equipping new tanks from the arsenal of Andry's matriarchal family. Everyone was happy.

Later, Rommel left Berlin and began to hold a heavy army, which can be described as high-spirited and prosperous.

Years of military life have made Rommel a seasoned tactical expert.He has extraordinary military quality and excellent military command ability.In addition, he knows how to be a human being, the people above think he is cute, and the people below think he is respectable.That's why I got what I wanted, and killed a few in and out on the North African battlefield, earning a reputation as the "Desert Fox".

But the old fox has a hard time doing it now.In Rommel's headquarters, Rommel read the autographed letter from Liu Qi for the seventh time in silence.I saw the letter said:

Your Excellency Field Marshal Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel

Hello

By the time you read this letter, your loyal subordinate Hans Andri has crossed the Ruwesart Ridge east of Shia.I'm going this time to Legion Headquarters of the British Army, before I take control of it.I hope you will not retreat from the front line, at most 5-7 days, when I occupy the British Army Command.I will try to disrupt the deployment of the British army.I hope you seize the opportunity, and I will leave the rest to you.If possible, Cairo will be taken by you soon.Please be sure to keep it confidential for me.

In addition, I also asked my steward Philip, who brought the letter, to go to your headquarters and ask him to contact my family.Try to persuade the head of state to replenish supplies and personnel equipment for you as soon as possible.

Best regards

Your most loyal subordinates Barbaria, Hans, Andriy, von, Dönitz

After reading Liu Qi's letter, the old fox Rommel was a little embarrassed.Why, it turns out that the current war situation in North Africa is already very critical.Although Rommel almost drove the British into the sea to feed the bastards in the first two times, the lack of personnel and supplies hindered Rommel.

The first time was when Rommel first arrived in North Africa. At that time, the German army led by Rommel was in full swing and looked down on everything.Although the number is not very large, there are only 2 German divisions.However, the high fighting spirit and the high-quality combat capabilities of the German soldiers, coupled with Rommel's superb use of tank troops, directly tore through the British defense line before the British were stunned.

The British turned pale with fright, and had no choice but to turn around and run away in the face of the danger of being surrounded.This run is hundreds of kilometers.

I have to say that the British still have a very scientific, systematic, specialized, and quite high attainment in how to escape.This was the case in several battlefields in the world at that time, such as Dunkirk, Burma, Greece, and now North Africa.For the British, it is not a shame to stand up and escape in the face of danger, but an advanced and correct way for the Ming people.This run until it ran out of Libya and went to Egypt, leaving only one and a half divisions of Tobruk's troops fighting in the city.

Rommel directly surrounded Tobruk, but Rommel was not in a hurry to capture Tobruk.Because the old fox knew very well that his tanks would not be effective in urban battles.If the German army conquered Tobrug, it would have to suffer huge losses in personnel and equipment.The old fox's dream is Cairo.I don't want to use the precious tank and armor units for siege at all. In addition, these units are the bottom of the old fox's current North African battlefield.If they are all used up, it will be bad if the British call again.

So Rommel ordered a part of the German infantry to cooperate with the Italian army to surround Tobruk.Carefully pack it inside and out.Then mobilize a large number of air forces and artillery to bombard and shell non-stop.

Rommel immediately sent a telegram to Hitler asking for soldiers and tanks to be replenished.At that time, Hitler was stepping up the implementation of Barbarossa's plan to invade the Soviet Union, and he didn't expect Mussolini to be too powerful, so he rejected Rommel's request.

In fact, Hitler wanted to wait until three months after the start of the war to defeat the Soviet Union, and then personally command the North African Army to capture Cairo.Hitler also wanted to be the commander in chief who conquered Egypt like Caesar.Little did he know that Rommel had the same dream again.

For various reasons, Rommel's supplies and troops were delayed.Facing the great situation, Rommel wanted to cry.But no matter how coincidental a daughter-in-law is, it's useless without rice.It's like suddenly finding that you can't get hard after the foreplay.Rommelney had no choice but to deploy defenses and wait for supplies.

But the British on the opposite side was very strange. It was obviously a situation where you want to hit me and run away. Why are you Rommel so shameless that you didn't even move at all.It was so bad that even the luggage of the family members of the British army in Cairo, big and small, was moved to the ship, waiting for everyone to board the ship and return to the UK.

As for whether the government will collapse because of the loss of North Africa, it is not something that soldiers can consider.For one thing, the British believe in the basic principle that soldiers must not interfere in politics.

The basic principle that the British put their lives first is indeed the basic principle of all basic principles.It is not terrible to lose a battle. If you lose your life, it is impossible to fight a defeated battle.Is it possible to blame Hitler and Rommel for the defeat?First make Rommel the title of an undefeated military god.

What, you are not convinced.Then I can get you to North Africa to practice with Rommel.Why don't you dare, if you came, Rommel would have been killed.And me, drinking afternoon tea leisurely in a comfortable and warm home.What is the gap, this is the gap.It’s nothing to lose a piece of North Africa, our empire on which the sun never sets still has a lot of colonies, I can still get promoted and get rich if I change places.I still don't believe that Rommel can fight all over the world.

Faced with Rommel's non-cooperation, the British army in North Africa felt empty.However, it is very serious to leave North Africa without anyone attacking.The discipline of the army and the sense of honor of the soldiers do not allow the British to do things without authorization.It is not terrible to be defeated, the people will forgive.But if you don't maintain law and order in the colony, that's a major problem.

What the British are most anxious about is Churchill, a big fat man who loves to smoke cigars.Egypt must not be lost, this is the most basic one.He doesn't care how many people die, he only wants Egypt and the Suez Canal.You must know that without the canal, the materials and food in the colonies would have to pay a greater price to be transported to Britain.

This kind of price is like exchanging gold for food, or one-to-one.You must know that without food and afternoon tea, the British will complain, and there will be no votes.The prestige of the government would also take a huge hit.Maybe it will collapse, and the prestige of the Liberal Party it represents will be wiped out.Maybe in the next few decades of general elections, opponents will use this matter to attack.

With the aid of the United States, it can withstand it for the time being, but that is also drinking poison to quench thirst.That old fox of Roosevelt could only smile and give this and that.Damn, all of this has to be paid back. The wealth that the British Empire has admired for hundreds of years is almost being emptied by Roosevelt's smiling tiger.It’s not enough, if the British stop, no one else will be fine, and his prime minister will have to be torn up.

Other Chamberlain stepped down during the war, but he still lived comfortably in a villa in the country, even if he went out for a walk, people respected him very much.They didn't let the people go hungry and have no afternoon tea.

Besides, I am so busy all day long that I don't even have time to play bridge.In the end, Roosevelt had to act on the face of that old guy. Although he had secretly instructed the Royal Navy to fly the German flag to sink several American merchant ships, this old guy just asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest to the German embassy as if nothing had happened. .Even the New York Times, which is controlled by his own family, was banned from reporting.We can only see the rapid growth of the U.S. economy, stimulated by the demands of the war
