Redemption of WWII

Chapter 19 Rommel's Decision This chapter is free

On October 1942, 10, Montgomery went on the offensive. [] When the fierce artillery fire and bombing fell on the head of Rommel's successor, Shitem, who had just replaced Rommel's temporary North African Army commander for a month, was a little dizzy.

As a commander, Shidem is actually competent.But in the face of an attack that can't be resisted at all, it is estimated that there is no way to change anyone.Fortunately, at this time, a heavy rain that had not happened in North Africa for decades saved the fate of Stem and Rommel.

On October 10, Rommel was summoned urgently by Hitler, and Hitler's state had returned to normal at this time.Seeing Rommel, he no longer spat at Rommel endlessly.Just calmly asked Rommel to stop the treatment and return to the North African front to command his North African Army.Rommel didn't say anything more, and Rommel flew to the front line of Egypt overnight by plane that day, his headquarters.

As soon as he arrived at the headquarters, Rommel was busy understanding the situation and arranging defenses.As soon as he stopped to take a rest, Liu Qi's housekeeper Philip found him and handed Rommel a letter.

Rommel jumped when he opened the letter.I couldn't help cursing Liu Qi in my heart, you little bastard is staying in prison dishonestly.Why did he go to the British, and claimed to be going to their army headquarters.You thought it was your home, and you could come in and out whenever you wanted.That was the headquarters of the Eighth Army, which was heavily fortified by the British army.There was at least one regiment of armored guards, and a large number of British intelligence personnel.Isn't this going to die?

That's all right, if you run to die, it will be hard for me to follow you.Is he really a madman.Thinking about Rommel and Hitler's distorted face, I couldn't help feeling sad again.Secretly complaining about Hitler again, I said to myself that I have made a lot of military achievements for you, and I have made a lot of military exploits, even if I ask you for supplies and soldiers, you will not give me.Get me such a young master, this is not a nursery school.I'm busy with the British all day long, so I have time to meddle in this young master's business.

Now if something happens to Andre, his father and mother will follow me endlessly, especially his mother, who is a person with all hands and eyes.If her precious son is finished, then I don't have to mess around anymore.

Thinking of this, Rommel couldn't help but write the letter again.When the letter said that Andrei's family might help him lobby Hitler and replenish himself with supplies and equipment, his eyes lit up.If Andre can let his family help him obtain supplies and troops, maybe it can be done.

When I first served as the commander of the Seventh Armored Division, the tanks and armored vehicles at that time were precious.So many high-ranking generals broke their heads and didn't get a few, but they were fully loaded and picked up the goods directly from the factory's warehouse.On the one hand, it was because of Hitler's popularity, and on the other hand, the most important thing was that he was Andri's boss.She usually takes good care of him, and the old lady reciprocates, as a thank you for taking care of Andri.Only in this way can I go smoothly when I attack France, or else I can become a figure as famous as General Guderian.

There must be nothing wrong with Andri.But in the face of Meng Ge's hundreds of thousands of troops, Rommel was a little discouraged.As far as I am now, there are a dozen people, seven or eight guns.How can there be a way to compare with others.Rommel was caught in a dilemma.Originally, Rommel had already learned from the spy intelligence lurking in Egypt that the British army on the opposite side was ready.There are important people, there are guns, and the number of planes and tanks is several times that of oneself.

In this big desert, it is a good place for tanks to use their weapons.If Rommel had enough tanks and planes, Rommel was not particularly afraid even though he was few.But there was no food in my stomach, and I panicked.Rommel is still very clear about the family background of the German-Italian Allied Forces.There are not 8 people, and there are only 3 German divisions that are not full.The others are all Italian troops.

Rommel of the Italian army is an army that he can't afford to worry about. Although the soldiers of the Italian army are very brave in battle, the quality of the commander is really too low.The combat thinking is basically from the time of World War I.They don't understand what blitzkrieg is at all, and tanks can only be used as defensive fortresses for them.

Rommel was already thinking of retreating, and he wanted to pretend to shrink the line of defense, making the British think that he was going to stick to it.Then take the main force to retreat under the cover of night.Then, while the British line was stretched, surprise soldiers were sent to attack the British supply line.Finally, taking advantage of the chaos, he bit the British hard.This is also Rommel's usual trick.Rommel used this method to defeat the British in previous battles.But now all this is in vain, and Andrey has gone to the British.Now it has become a situation where you can run but can't run, and you can't fight but you can't fight.

Rommel couldn't help but hate himself, why did I get Andrey to the prison in the first place.If I bring him with me, although it's a little troublesome, there won't be such a big mess.

But things are already like this, and it is too late to regret.I had no choice but to put the troops against the British as Andri said, and take one step at a time.I hope Andry will be all right, even if the British take him prisoner.I have a large number of British prisoners in my hand. If Andre is really captured and exchanged secretly, it will be fine. At worst, the major general will be changed to another school, and the British will definitely agree.

But even with a hard top, this small force can't last long, Rommel shook his head.But if everyone is dead, it is estimated that Andri's family will have something to say.In order to save your son, I, Rommel, wiped out all the troops and did not retreat. Even if you are powerful, you have to be reasonable.It's better if I get a little more minor injury, then Hitler and Andrew's family will have nothing to say.

Rommel was thinking wildly, and Philip next to him said, "Your Excellency, Marshal, please allow me to ask you a question. Did our young master tell you anything? In addition, our young master told me, let me contact the master to add something to you. Supplies and supplies, what do you need?"

As a butler who is more loyal to the Barbaria family, Philip has a relatively high level of culture and moral cultivation.Philip's family has been housekeepers for the Hans family for generations.Father Andri, the secret master of the Barbaria family, had Philip perform many shady deeds on his behalf.

It can be said that Philip is the same as the senior member of Barbaria, but outsiders will not know it.Philip studied at Cambridge University in England in his early years, majoring in Europeanization.Where most British students look down on this unremarkable young man.Think of him as a country bumpkin from the mountains of southern Germany.But one day when the King of England was visiting Cambridge, he said to Philip, "Please take me to say hello to your father and Mr. Hans".

Now all the voices disappeared, who is the king, that is a high existence, that used to be the highest existence in the entire continent of England (the British think, England is already a very big continent in their eyes) .How could he know this little country bumpkin and still be kind to him.

Now Philip was the thing people talked about.But until Philip graduated, no one knew the identity of this young man from the mountains in southern Germany.The reason is very simple. Philip was influenced by his parents' low-key, modest and steady influence since he was a child.This also allowed Philip to develop a good character from an early age.After graduating from Cambridge Philip went to the Vatican.There, he received several years of religious edification.

Later, after Philip's father was about to die, Philip returned to the castle of Barbaria.He took over his father's job and continued to be the butler at the castle.However, this housekeeper is not the housekeeper of daily life, and is not responsible for the daily eating, drinking and lazard.It's the executor of the Barbaria family's shady scene.It can be said that Philip can directly or indirectly affect the culture, economy, and military of various European countries.Philip was 30 years old when Andri was born.Most of the people who came to congratulate him would never have imagined that this unattractive butler in front of him turned out to be one of the power black hands in the underground of Europe.

Andri is the sole heir of Barbaria.The task of taking care of Andri from an early age to understand and learn the world fell to Philip.Philip always took the trouble to instill in Andri such things as blood, culture, power, and truth.But Andri is not a serious child, his greatest joy lies in how to take off the girl's clothes.Philip followed Andri's ass and wiped Andri's ass frequently.

As such a person, Philip would certainly not steal Liu Qi's letter to Rommel.That's why I asked Rommel Liu Qixin what to say.Originally, Philip would not have asked Rommel such a question.But it was about the safety of his young master, which made Philip have to ask.

Of course Rommel would not let Philip know that Liu Qi had gone to the British to attack the army headquarters.So he said to Philip, "It's nothing, Andrei just wrote to say, arrange for you to prepare supplies for me. You can use my legion telegraph room. I will ask my deputy to give you a list of urgently needed supplies."

Philip looked at Rommel suspiciously, but went to the telegraph room to send the telegram without saying anything.Rommel also asked his deputy to list a detailed list of military supplies, including 500 tanks.1000 aircraft, 3 to 5 armored divisions, and 3 to 5 infantry divisions.The 5000 tons of fuel consumption replenishment per month, as well as a large number of artillery, surprised Rommel's deputy Shidem.Steem said in his heart that he had never seen Rommel so boldly asking Hitler for things in North Africa for a year and a half.This time Rommel's courage became fatter, and the lion opened his mouth to ask Hitler for so much combat supplies.Isn't this a fool's dream?

When Stemm was puzzled by Rommel, Rommel smiled and said, "Do you always have to give others a chance to bargain? If you ask for too little, it will show that we have no sincerity." Rommel knew that Hitler really didn't have one. So much to give to myself.But it is impossible to want the horse to run without feeding the horse.

To be honest, a large part of the reason why Rommel was able to fight the British in North Africa was due to the supplies left by the British in 'Benghazi' and 'Tobruk'.All Rommel did was paint and change the numbers.

Shidem suddenly realized and said, "Tall, tall, it's too tall. You are really a role model for me to learn from. Not only your military talents are daunting, but your political skills are so perfect. Your "Record" a burst of nasty words gushed out of Shidum's mouth. It can be seen that Shidum can become a figure who can temporarily command the African Army at the age of 37. In addition to military talent, eloquence is also very important.

Just as Rommel was listening with gusto, Rommel's intelligence chief knocked on the door and came in.Said to Rommel, "That person used some secret codes that were not ours, and even sent a telegram himself."

"Oh? It's okay, the telegram he sent is absolutely safe." Rommel did not expect that Philip would send the telegram himself, and it was still using a secret code.Even his own combat intelligence director didn't know what he was posting.I couldn't help feeling admiration for this unattractive Philip.However, he handed the list of military supplies on the table to the intelligence director and said, "You go to Philip and give this to him, and he will know what to do. In addition, you report this plan to the Imperial Supplies Headquarters and the Imperial General Staff and the Chancellery."
