Akado looked at the map of Britain in front of his back. He did not rush to the front line of the Soviet-German war because he knew there was a more detailed battle plan there, enough to support him to stabilize the situation on the western front.
The war did not fully advance according to his plan. Although the Soviet Red Army was not prepared for the war, Stalin's arrogance allowed him to decide to start the war when the Germans were not ready. Stalin felt that the Germans were incapable of defending their Eastern Front while attacking the United Kingdom. As long as they went to the Soviet Union, they could easily insert the red flag of victory on the roof of the Berlin Headquarters.
At this time, Akado was not eager to launch a comprehensive counterattack against the Soviet Union. His plan was to seize the British island from the beginning and establish an absolutely safe Atlantic barrier. It is used to completely kill US attempts to attack Europe.
While God gave the United States a unique defense environment, it also dug a huge hole for the United States to attack. Akado did not believe that the United States dared to counterattack Germany across the Atlantic and fought a landing war with Germany on the British Isles. So as long as the British mainland is beaten, even if the United States wants to stab it in the future, it will never be possible to burn the war directly to the European continent-then, Germany can truly defend its enemies from the border.
At that time, the main battlefield was North Africa and the Eastern Front. Akado was confident to use Rommel to play a different ending in North Africa. As long as he resisted the pressure of the Soviets, Akado concentrated on sweeping the remaining British troops in North Africa ... When the German armored forces entered Cairo, the returning Jews, powerful Germans, Italians, and Turks, these forces were enough to make the Middle East a pot of paste, and the Suez Canal and North Africa resources were in the hands of Akado. At that time, what is the United States?
Powerful industry? Also in Germany! World resources? Eurasia, Africa and South America only! Therefore, Akado knows better than anyone that the seemingly messy world pattern is already clear. As long as he wins North Africa and defends the Eastern Front to defeat the Soviet Red Army, Germany is the world ’s well-deserved overlord.
why? The reason is very simple: at that time, Germany was a continental country with unlimited expansion space and partners. In contrast to the United States, the enviable geographical advantage became a fatal limitation. Of course, the expansion of alliance after stereotypes is of course inferior. Germany across Asia, Europe and Africa.
Therefore, in the view of Akado, as long as he wins two wars, his hegemony will be smooth. However, he also knew that the two huge problems of winning the battle of North Africa and defeating the Soviet Red Army were not as easy as they seemed. Because the outcome of these two battlefields is clearly unknown, it is easy for Americans to intervene and break these two battlefields into a dead end that the Germans do not want to see.
Of course, it seems that considering North Africa and the Eastern Front is still a bit far away, because the British homeland war is not over yet. The battle in London was very fierce. The fierce battle that had lasted for a month still continues. The news of the Soviet Union ’s declaration of war against Germany and Italy encouraged Churchill, who was desperate, and made him more determined to stay in London.
"How did you feel when you went to Africa?" Akado suddenly asked, asking for the confidant loved Rommel who had been standing quietly behind him.
"My head of state, there are many Italian troops in North Africa, but the combat effectiveness is not very good. These troops have wasted most of the materials and also limited the size of our future troops in Africa."
Akado nodded, and what Rommel said was all he knew. Italy has invested a lot of power in North Africa, and it is fair to say that the combat power is fair. These troops helped the German team a lot, at least it was impossible for the German African Army to gain a foothold in North Africa without them.
But he still said, "Ervin, I know you can't look down on the combat capabilities of these Italian troops, but they have at least an advantage in number. We must also be dominated by Italian troops in North Africa, because the Eastern Front has already started fighting. , We really can't draw much strength to support you. "
"In this way, I really don't have much confidence. The troops in my hands may not be able to beat Tobruk." Rommel was obviously not satisfied with the number of troops in his hands. After all, he was now responsible for an attack in one direction. The disadvantage in numbers made him feel a little uneasy.
He pointed to the map and continued: "Now only part of the 7th Armored Division and the infantry of the 2nd Division have been transported to North Africa. I think at least I should wait until all the 7th Armored Division arrives before I have some chance of winning. "
"Oh? Don't wait for the follow-up troops? To fight back directly?" Akado raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"No, as long as the 7th Armored Division arrives, I have the confidence to defeat the British troops here and here to fight back." Rommel replied confidently.
In order to confuse British troops, he ordered his men to drive past the observation platform in empty trucks repeatedly to be reviewed by Italian officers in North Africa. Then he used wooden sticks and tents to disguise the bushes, and he just let the British reconnaissance aircraft double the size of the German armored forces. The main reason why the British army is not overwhelmed by the defeated Italian troops is that it has overestimated the strength of the German African Army.
Rommel used his deferred strategy to make the British voluntarily give up the offense, which was insufficient for the armored army, and prevented the British army from occupying the military plan without a shot. Of course, the large appearance of the German Air Force in North Africa is also an important reason for the British to stop the offensive. After all, the loss of local air dominance in the battlefield is not good news for any general.
Just as Akado and Rommel were talking, on the front line of North Africa, Montgomery, who had just arrived, also persuaded his boss: "General, now the Germans must not be as strong as we seem, we should take a breath The Italians hit the sea! "
"Oh? You said the investigative intelligence provided by the Air Force is fake? Why do you see it?" The old general was obviously reluctant to take risks, but only asked lightly.
"Although the me-109c fighter in Italy is not as powerful as the fw-190d fighter used by the Germans, it is still more than enough for air defense operations in North Africa. Our fighters do not have any advantage, let alone reconnaissance aircraft!" Montgomery pointed to the table. Intelligence said.
The old general waved his hand, still unwilling to believe his deputy. After all, the men who had fought against the Germans had not won, but were sent to North Africa to replace their old partner.
He seriously doubted that General Montgomery had been frightened by the Germans, and he had even lost the fearless spirit that a British general should possess. So he has no enthusiasm for Montgomery to attack the Italian troops before the Germans arrive: "General Montgomery, the Italian defense has been strengthened by the Germans. This is the intelligence provided by the Air Force. You cannot overthrow these because of your own subjective doubts. evidence."
"In that pile of intelligence, there are Italian logistics analysis and their transportation capacity reports, which can be used to prove that the German troops will not appear in North Africa on such a large scale at all!" Montgomery was about to be stubborn by himself. Angry, he just didn't want to take action, which made him do nothing.
Obviously, the credit for defeating the Italian North African army was enough for this old general to enjoy for a while, so he was not in a hurry to create greater merits to keep his title of commander of the British army in North Africa. But Montgomery can guess that Germany is rushing troops to North Africa.
Britain now has about 250,000 troops hoarding in North Africa, but there are not so many troops that it can push to the front. After all, it has to defend regions such as Egypt and Somalia, so Britain has fewer troops on the front than Italy, only 16 There are more than 10,000 people, and most of them are local people.
It can be said that this unit is still very sufficient to fight 350,000 Italian troops. After all, as mentioned above, the actual combat strength of the 350,000 North African Italian troops is at most 130,000. In the eyes of Rommel, the rest of the Uwu people were basically food waste. Of course, garbage has the use of garbage, to help the main forces to guard the rear, these troops can still complete the task.
Because more and more German Air Forces are appearing over North Africa these days, and even instances of German dive bombers starting to attack the British supply base in groups, Montgomery is becoming more and more anxious about the North African war situation. The main reason is that Montgomery is very clear that as long as more than 100,000 German soldiers and an armored force arrive here, the British soldiers on the front line are in danger of being annihilated.
Therefore, he is currently able to strengthen the defense of the Tobruk Fortress in his power, hoping to use this fortress to block the footsteps of the German attack in the future and save the British Expeditionary Force in North Africa. He himself rushed to the front, hoping to persuade his boss to launch an offensive before the Germans were ready, disrupting the enemy's strategic deployment.
But obviously he failed.
"Information shows that the Germans have appeared in North Africa, and we have not been able to stop the German maritime forces." The old general pointed to the map and said: "A few hours ago we intercepted a telegram, the Germans informed the Italian North African Army Supreme Command The telegram used the Italian password we have cracked. "
"Oh? What do you say?" Montgomery asked quickly.
"The above is an appointment letter informing the Italian military officer that Elvin Rommel was appointed the supreme commander of the Italian North African Army and the German African Army." The old general replied: "Our opponent, here.
