Redemption of WWII

Chapter 49 Rommel's Judgment

"The confinement bends and illuminates Jiuzhou, some families are happy and some are sad, some couples are in the same tent, and some families are scattered in other states.【】"

When Montgomery fainted in front of the cruel reality, his opponent, the old fox Rommel, was also not at ease.Rommel has been caught off guard ever since he received the news through Andri's housekeeper, Old Philip, that the head of state had fully agreed to Rommel's supply plan.

To be honest, Rommel felt very uncomfortable.The reason is very simple, the news that the head of state supplied himself was conveyed through the butler in front of him.Could it be that your own legion headquarters is not as important as a personal butler.

But Rommel misunderstood Philip on this point.Father Andri was afraid that information leakage would endanger Andri's safety, so he used the family's private code, and this private code translation was an unpublished book.

It is impossible for the outside world to know about this book, because those who use it are all core members of the Barbaria family, and this book has never appeared in written form.It is passed on orally from the previous generation to the next generation.

Including Liu Qi's father and Liu Qi's housekeeper, the old Philip, when he took over power when he was young, the first thing he did was to recite this book.It's just that Andrey followed Hitler to Berlin before his father was ready to let him recite, so Andrey didn't know about it.

But old 'Philip', as the steward and core manager of Barbaria's next patriarch, has the right to use this code book.Therefore, the telegram sent by old Philip through the "Engecode" transmitter of the German Army Command was not only intercepted by the British intelligence department, but also sent to Bletchley Manor, the British intelligence deciphering center, for deciphering.

In Bletchley Manor in England, hundreds of mathematicians, logicians, linguists, economists and the world's earliest computer prototype carried out calculations and analysis on this letter.In the end, the so-called 'super-secret' original computer worked continuously for three days and three nights, and the machine that was directly calculating was bursting into flames, and finally exploded, leaving a mess that took only a week to repair the machine. time.

And hundreds of researchers had to study this electricity for several days and nights by means of pen calculation.These scientists used all the mathematical formulas in the world, all the books that can be collected, and nearly 100 languages ​​​​to repeatedly compare with this telegram.All came to a surprisingly unified conclusion.That is, this message is indeed written in German, and it is a non-recurring number that can be counted infinitely like π.And it is very likely that this is a conspiracy of the Germans, which appeared specifically to destroy the 'super secret', the first computer in the world's history.

This result made the British intelligence officials and Churchill break out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the "super-secret" accumulated by countless money and manpower was discovered by the Germans? The Germans actually found a way to deal with the "super-secret". And this solution turned out to be a cheap letter.This is too unacceptable.It's like on the wedding night, when the young couple finished their work, the man took out a 50-yuan bill and handed it to the woman, and the woman turned out to give the man [-] yuan, which was embarrassing.

Don't mention how the British tried to keep the 'super secret', just talk about Rommel.Rommel is also very clear about the production status of domestic weapons and materials. He will not allocate all the materials on the manifest to himself. There are only a few tank manufacturing factories in the country, and the monthly output is only a few dozen vehicles. My own requirement of 500 tanks is that even Rommel feels a bit too much.Originally, I thought that I would open my mouth like a lion and ask for a little more, so that others could make a counter-offer.

Rommel would be content to get half of it and thank God and Andri.

But what Old Philip meant was that there was no counter-offer at all, not only the 3 armored divisions and the 3 infantry divisions were fully staffed.That is a combat force of nearly 10 people, all of which are elite field troops who have fought in the French campaign before.It was transferred directly from the important areas in France and the Netherlands.The role of these troops in the local area is also great, and now they have been transferred to themselves for a telegram of reinforcements.Although most of the tanks of these troops remained at the original station waiting for the reception of new troops.However, 200 No. 4 tanks were urgently transported with the troops.

What surprised Rommel the most was that the old Philip said that the 300 No. 5 tanks were shipped from Germany. You must know that the No. 5 tanks were urgently produced to deal with the Soviet T34 tanks. The No. 5 tank uses the same inclined armor as the Soviet t34, which makes the tank's defense effect better.And the 75mm main gun with an extended barrel made any tank in the world at that time vulnerable.The mobility of the No. 5 tank is also top-notch. The wider track and larger road wheels have also greatly improved the mobility on soft ground. In the desert of North Africa, it is simply a paradise for the No. 5 tank.

Rommel is confident that the No. 4 tank can well block the British attack.But now the performance of the No. 5 tank gave Rommel the confidence to compete with the British.But what made Rommel so confident was the 40 No. 6 tanks that Andri's wife dug out from the bottom of the MN company's box.

Even Rommel, the field marshal, didn't know that there would be a No. 6 tank, which shows the value of the No. 6 tank.Rommel learned from Philip's brief introduction that these 56-ton tanks are simply a nightmare for the enemy, and the main artillery of the tank turned out to be an 88mm high-explosive howitzer.This is simply a killer weapon.Simply indestructible.

Rommel was also surprised by the armor defense of the No. 6 tank. You must know that the 105mm front armor cannot be penetrated by any British and American tanks.Not to mention that after adding the gun shield, the defense of the turret has reached 180mm.

This is simply the thickest shield and the sharpest spear.

It can be imagined that during the confrontation of the war, the No. 6 tank wiped out the British tanks one by one, while the British tanks tickled the No. 6 tank with one shot and one white spot.Thinking of this, Rommel is a little bit crazy.But Rommel didn't particularly like this tank.Because just from the weight of the tank, Rommel felt that the No. 6 tank must run slowly like an ant.

There is also the air force of the one and a half wing, you must know that the air force is Goering's territory.That old guy guarded his air force like a calf, and no one else could get in, and a telegram from old Philip actually transferred a half wing. That was 1000 planes, not 1000 models.

Although I and Goering are both Hitler's confidants, but in terms of rank, Rommel is still far behind Goering.One is a comrade-in-arms-level Reich Marshal who followed Hitler to death 20 years ago and was wounded, and the other is a former Army Academy instructor who only served as the commander of the Führer Guard.You can even imagine the difference between the two with your toes.

And that 'Mussolini', who was lukewarm to him, usually didn't care about him at all, but this time he dispatched the entire Italian navy.Usually, the Italian navy is not cold to itself at all. One is that it has long been frightened by the British Land-Sea Fleet, and the second is because the Italian army has been robbed of all its unsatisfactory credits.

Could it be that 'Mussolini' took the wrong medicine this time and his head was confused.This is simply impossible.

But all the impossibilities became possible because of a telegram from the butler of the young master Yangzi, just like the Imperial Ministry of Defense was opened by their family.There are also those arms dealers, who are usually the ones who don't see the rabbits.This time, he actually pulled so many tanks and cannons directly out of the warehouse and sent them to the door for himself.

This series of actions, how much energy must be used to do it.First, the transfer of 6 divisions of the German Army, followed by dozens of trains filled with 350 tanks.Of course, Rommel didn't know that Goering was also forced by Hitler to take out those planes, and he also made a lot of stumbling blocks for the pilots.

In order to cover this batch of supplies, the navy of the entire Italian country became a target and led the British to the Atlantic Ocean.In the end, it was the French fleet that escorted the supply fleet.It was the French fleet, which Hitler himself probably could not command, would escort his supplies for a telegram from a young master butler.This tm has almost caught up with Lei Feng. Of course, the word Lei Feng does not exist yet.

What Rommel couldn't stand the most was the old housekeeper.The old butler Philip was like a high-ranking nobleman, and he acted like a vegetable farmer.I asked others for a high price of a silver coin for the radish and cabbage, but old Philip just got a gold coin, and he didn't have to change by himself. The reason for his appearance was that he was afraid of getting his hands dirty.It’s also like a child asking an adult for pocket money. He intended to ask for one yuan, but the adult took out a hundred-yuan bill and slapped the child on the face.All this made the proud old fox Rommel feel an inexplicable sense of loss.

Rommel originally thought that he was superior, the marshal of the army, the god of war, the star of the world, and the pride of Germany.He can get what he wants, but the reality of love shattered his dream.I endured the head of state's saliva with a smile on my face several times, and asked the head of state for supplies, but the head of state capital did not agree.

As for the person in front of him who claimed to be the housekeeper of a certain young master Yangzi, an encrypted telegram solved the big problem.And the butler didn't even show any excitement on his face.It's like doing such a trivial thing, afraid that others will know.Rommel is also a seasoned old fox, and he has seen many pretending to be b, but he has never seen such a pretending b.

But old Philip's reminder made Rommel very tired. The old Philip's original words were like this: "Dear Marshal, I have got everything you want. But I just want to remind you that our young master's Safety must be the first priority. As long as you do this, our Barbaria family will regard you as a friend. No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter in the future, we will not stand idly by."

The old fox knows the meaning of this sentence very well, I will give you what you want.Not only a few, but a lot more.Next, I have to ask you to guarantee my young master's safety. If you don't save our young master for the sake of greed, the Barbaria family will not let you go.Don't be a marshal, for us it's just a dish, we can eat whatever we want.

It's not that Rommel didn't want to save Andri, and he also sent many people to look for the young master Yangzi, but the people in the prison said that Andri had gone to the British with the guards and prisoners.But the defense of the British is very tight, and the people sent can't pass the British defense line at all.I don't know how Andri and the others ran over. Rommel seldom got first-hand information about the British during this period, and most of them were judged by some aerial reconnaissance and military attainments.

And the desert on this line is so big, where can I find it?Coupled with the lack of food and fresh water in the desert, it is estimated that it will be over soon.So Rommel judged that Andri was either dead or captured.

It's a good thing to say that the old fox Rommel has always cherished his feathers.The treatment of prisoners of war is quite preferential treatment.It made it difficult for the British to do anything to the German prisoners of war.In addition, the old fox still has a few British generals who were captured in Tobruk. As long as he knows the news of Liu Qi's capture, he will exchange two British generals for a small school. I guess the British are very willing to make this deal. of.

So Rommel always thought in his heart, "God, if you want to play with Andri, please do it softly, and don't play it to death."
