How many ships escaped from Alexandria? No one knows this issue. In short, when Akado knew that the Italian navy was afraid of loss and lack of fuel, and finally did not go to the outskirts of Alexandria according to the agreement to annihilate the ship full of British soldiers, he fell into his hands. Glass cup.
A total of 20,000 British people were able to escape from the huge encirclement of Alexandria by boat, but enough to crush the Italian fleet of the British Mediterranean fleet that had no battleships, but only dare to watch this British who was afraid to fight in the port. The 100-year-old marine dominance of the British fleet has scared the Italian Navy from having the courage to fight decisively. It sounds funny, but this is indeed a cruel fact.
Even the Germans have struggled for a long time to overcome the phobia of the British fleet. If Lütjens had a chance, or if the German fleet had the last moment of courage, the German high seas fleet is still in trouble in the North Sea. Being beaten down by the British, how can there be the ability to dominate the Atlantic?
However, everyone knows that there are several old and new Italian battleships, and the number of cruisers is almost five times that of the British Mediterranean fleet. As a result, this huge gap still did not fill the fears of the Italians. This is a bit too human. Annoyed.
"Me! Why am I willing to throw Studente's paratroopers in Africa in a broken place where the birds don't shit? Why do I not hesitate to retain some of the Air Force's support capabilities and let the paratroopers in Damman Hur The place faced Barton's tank alone? "Akado yelled at the Italian envoy in his office.
He stepped on the broken glass on the ground with his leather boots and made a clicking sound: "Everything is for the Italian navy to block the port of Alexandria under the cover of the German Air Force and annihilate or capture the British. The Mediterranean Fleet! The 100,000 British defenders in Alexandria are completely trapped! This is our agreement! The agreement! "
He walked up and down angrily, not looking at the grayish-looking Italian diplomatic envoy at all: "My paratroopers lost almost 3,000 people in Dammamhur! 3000 people! What about the Italian fleet? Is it the only one? A wound is because the waves are too big to sprain your toes? "
No wonder Akado is so angry. After all, all the operations of the African Army started from the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in North Africa. As a result, 200,000 Italian troops failed to complete their tasks, but were expelled from the Ethiopian team by Ethiopia. , Defeated back to Tunisi along the way. Had Rommel killed it at the last minute and saved Italy's defeat, the entire North Africa is now British.
It stands to reason that the entire African Legion is Germany helping Italy to stabilize its position. If it is only to enter the Middle East, Germany is better to unite with Turkey, and it is more convenient to kill directly to the Middle East. Now the war in Africa seems to be fighting for Italy's strategy is paying.
The result is such a war for the benefit of Italy. The attack strategy agreed by the two sides is absolutely foolproof: Germany dispatched paratroopers to attack Dammamhur, the Italian naval blockade of Alexandria, Rommel ’s forces shattered the Allied defenses. It is in the best interests of all parties to annihilate all British North African forces, capture or destroy the British Mediterranean fleet. In order to ensure the safety of the Italian fleet, Germany also retained some bombers and fighters, and wanted to cover the Italian fleet across the sea at the joint moment.
But in the final execution, the Italian fleet did not appear where it should appear, so the British fleet calmly left Alexandria, easily escaped from the Suez Canal, and even took away 20,000 British soldiers.
The Italian fleet did not go to sea, but some envoys rushed to the residence of the head of state of Berlin, stating a large number of reasons why the Italian fleet could not go to sea, using oil and preparations as unsuccessful excuses, and shamelessly hoped that the German top could understand Italy ’s hardships.
"In this matter, Italy really did not think about it. This is really hurting the traditional friendship between the two countries." Prime Minister Augustus sitting on the side said, his predecessor was the famous iron-blooded prime minister, he naturally also He would not be indifferent to this kind of unilateral dominance, so he looked at the Italian envoy who was about to be scolded by Akado and slowly stated his thoughts: "Mr. Mussolini must give the Third Empire a statement, If he does not give it, we will get it ourselves! "
The Italian messenger took out a handkerchief from his arms with a trembling hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Mussolini didn't give much chips. He didn't take it out. In fact, he had his own consideration. Germany is very good at talking about France, the Balkans, and North Africa. This makes Italy a little bit floating, and some people even think that the Germans are idiots. Italy only needs to take advantage of it.
Although there are not many supporters of this argument, Mussolini did somewhat forget that the terrible power of the Third Reich was actually a steel knife hanging above Italy. In the Balkans, where the entire country of Italy can't help, the 200,000 German team easily eased this. That is to say, there is no need to send troops from the front line. It is just a resident force in Germany. It is not difficult to level Italy.
So the poor envoy did n’t dare to say Mussolini ’s provocative conditions, he was really afraid of the actual ruler of the 70% of the European territory in front of him, the head of the Third Reich Akadozhen 'S order to attack Italy, then Italy can almost become history.
Since the Italian navy can be scared by the paper tiger Britain, which has dominated the world for 100 years, its army can definitely regard the German army that swept Europe's undefeated as a god. If the British Navy is terrible, then the German Army is invincible to the Italians. Let the Italian defenders fight the invincible German army. These people will surrender immediately if they do not rebel immediately.
"My head of state, as an Italian diplomat, I hope to return to China once and explain to the leader the dangers of this matter ..." The Italian envoy wiped out the sweat above his head and shuddered to explain: "If necessary, we can seize several navy generals and let your country handle it!"
In fact, letting go of the Mediterranean fleet or letting go of 20,000 British soldiers is not what made Akado so angry. The most important thing is that this big retreat reminded Akado of the Dunkirk retreat he had strangled by himself. He did not know what hidden dangers this small mistake would bring to him in the end. He was afraid because of the unknown, and because he could not estimate, he was nervous to hysterical.
"This matter is not a problem that a small diplomat can solve." Akado waved his hand and refused the request of the Italian division and envoys. After thinking about it, he continued to say coldly: "The Italian Navy's affairs first Set aside and let Mussolini visit me in Berlin personally. The most important test for the Axis Powers is coming. At this time, I do n’t want any unpredictable problems, such as unilateral breach of contract like this one. "
He walked in front of the envoy and stared at each other like an eagle with a little bloodshot eyes because of insufficient rest. He said, "Let Mussolini come to me in person. Do you understand? Adjust the wording and use the most beautiful Diplomatic rhetoric, if you can't do it, I will let General Hult go and ask him! "
General Hult is the commander-in-chief of the German J Army. His troops are stationed in the Balkan Peninsula and Crete. It is the closest German integrated army to Italy. Akado said that the threat is very obvious.
"I, I get it! My head! I will go back to Italy and convey your invitation to the leader ..." The Italian envoy now feels that he is too unlucky. When others come to Germany, they are all good. The wine and meat entertained, and even made some excessive requests, the relevant parties in Germany will also agree as much as possible. Why did everything go so smoothly after coming to Germany?
When the Italian embassy escaped and left the palace of the head of state, Akado had already issued the mobilization orders of the J and A armies, and the Germans were ready to make the worst plan for Italy at any time.
Due to his age, Augustus has recently worked hard for the German internal economy day and night, his face is not very good, and the whole person is also a bit old-fashioned. He glanced at Arcado, who gradually calmed his anger, and said, "If Italy really does not give us Egypt. We will not allow our military police and instructors to train Italian troops. Are you really planning to send troops to Italy?"
"This is inevitable." Akado snorted and looked at the war zone map in front of him: "We must pinch the Suez Canal in Egypt. Since Italy has given us this opportunity, we must grasp Live. In addition, if the combat power of the Italian forces is not fully strengthened, do we dare to use these crucial moments to stupidity on the Eastern Front? "
Augustus nodded and asked a more concerned question: "If we win Italy, then it will involve a part of the troops, and there are fewer hundreds of thousands of Italian allies expected. This matter seems to us Not very favorable? "
"A country that is afraid of the British Mediterranean Fleet without battleships. Do you still expect them to dare to violate the will of the Third Reich?" Akado laughed: "Get ready to meet Mussolini, knock him hard That ’s it. "
Augustus laughed, and walked out slowly.
