As Akado's salted pig hand swam back and forth over Anna's full chest, the knock on the door rang unexpectedly, and the two quickly picked up their clothes and sorted out their slightly messy hair. Anna blushed and stood next to Akado's desk. Akado pretended to be sitting on the sofa a little further away and picked up a document.
"Come in." Akado shouted the command that should have been called out after the two men were in their respective positions as if they were on stage. For a moment, he even felt that he and Anna should go to the movie, which would definitely be brilliant.
At this time, except for Fanny and Sindra, they will knock on Akado's office door. No one else will come. This is also the reason why Akado and Anna couldn't help themselves just now: Basically, when no one is here, a little indulgence of yourself is actually harmless, isn't it?
"My head!" Sindra walked to the front of Akado with a pair of beautifully looking myopia glasses and stood up to salute: "The latest news from the front."
"The frontline? Is there any news in Smolensk?" Now the place that Akado is most concerned about is nothing more than the situation in the Smolensk region. As long as a beautiful annihilation battle is played in Smolensk, the Germans The materials can go south smoothly, allowing the German army in the south to have a more flexible combat plan.
Sindra glanced at Anna, who was standing there and did n’t know what she was thinking, and then withdrew her gaze: "Yes, the head. The combat report just sent back by Lundstedt. In Morinsk, the last nail of the Soviet Union behind our defense was also removed. "
"Huh!" Akado breathed out, letting go of something. The battle of Smolensk was an important part of the German foreign war. Now that we have successfully won this ring, it is up to the final conclusion of the Battle of the Caucasus. After the Germans occupied Smolensk, there was no obstacle to attack Moscow. Whether it was Stalin or Zhukov, it was necessary to carefully consider whether the planned direction of attack in the next German battle plan was Moscow or Stalingrad.
"Is there any news over Rommel?" Smolensk was settled, and Akado was in a very good mood. He picked up the remaining half of the coffee on the coffee table and took another sip before asking.
The news of the African Army has not been a strategic focus of the National Defense Forces for a long time. Since winning Cairo, Mussolini has lacked interest in attacking the Middle East. He recently frowned at the secret representative of the United States and hoped that the Axis Powers and the United States would understand each other. To restore true peace in the world.
Because of his disappointment with the Italian army, he transformed from a person who supported external expansion and waged wars of aggression into someone who hoped to gain greater benefits through diplomatic means. He prefers to find a suitable critical point through the German invincible battle, to make peace with the United States and end the war. The secret envoy sent by the United States gave Mussolini a lot of hints, making him feel that the United States is weak and can be bullied. Italy can use diplomatic blackmail to obtain the massive exploitation rights of Middle East oil.
The discovery of a large amount of oil in Libya also gave Mussolini the idea of withdrawing from the war. After all, the resources he desperately needed have in fact been satisfied to a great extent. The war has lost most of its meaning for Italy, so Mussolini ’s support for North Africa has become dull and procrastinating.
Losing Italy ’s support, Rommel ’s supply became tighter, and it became very difficult to cross the Suez Canal defense line created by the United States and Britain. At least under the full defense of the United States, Suez completed the plan to enter the Middle East. Some Too radical.
It was replaced by a plan called "Turkish Express". This plan is to transport part of the German Army ’s General L. Scherner ’s Army Group from Turkey to Germany and Italy to Turkey. From Turkey, it will lead 150,000 Turkish troops. Attack Iraq and Syria south.
This plan requires Germany to secretly transport the 12th armoured army under the eldest Scherner's army to Turkey, and cooperate with Turkey's 150,000 elite troops to go southward to the Middle East, bypass the US's elaborate Suez Canal defense line, and occupy important Middle East oil production Area.
But this plan is so complicated to execute that even Rommel, who has been reopening the battlefield in North Africa, does not believe that this plan can be successfully implemented. First, silently transport tens of thousands of troops to Turkey, which is covered by British and American spies. Almost sentenced to death for this plan.
Then the Turkish offer was too high, almost unbearable for the Germans. They even used such a battle in exchange for one-tenth of Germany ’s oil share in the Middle East. If the price is used to bribe Italy, it seems to Akado more Cost-effective.
But this does not prevent Akado from doing more with cheap prices. In the end, the Supreme Command formulated a more feasible plan, code-named "Barbecue", this plan is the first time that the master of strategy Manstein has not been reminded by Akado, he has prepared a genius action plan.
With his precise and unique strategic vision, Manstein changed the original Turkish express delivery plan a bit, and turned an absurd plan into a genius strategic deception.
In fact, the whole plan has not changed, only the implemented troops have been changed. Let the French Navy and the Italian Navy contribute to the delivery of the three infantry divisions of the Hawker Group Army, which was idle in the Balkans, to Turkish territory to carry out the plan to attack south.
Compared with the 12th Armored Army, the three infantry divisions have much less materials to be transported, and the main body of transportation has changed from Turkey to the defeated Vichy France, so that Turkey ca n’t ask for prices. . Although the ability to attack south has been reduced a lot, it is really a question whether the US troops who have lost the canal defense line can block the next three division and German infantry.
As a result, the US military in the Middle East has created a problem that cannot be taken into account: in the end, the division of troops without division prevents the German troops from going south from Turkey. Once the troops were separated, the Rommel and Scherna troops who were staring at the opposite side of the Suez Canal could not stop it.
The Barbecue plan was implemented in secret a month ago. The main reason for the delay was that the North African Army did not manage to supply the fuel and ammunition needed for the operation until a month ago. Akado supported Rommel in launching the North African campaign once again, and one of the reasons was to prevent Mossori from continuing the snake and rat with a brilliant victory.
Knowing another time and space, Akado, of the history of the war of liberation, of course understands the tricks of the United States, using negotiation promises as a means of delaying time, and then immediately overthrows the negotiating table for war when it is ready. If anyone really believes that the United States is willing to share the world with such stupid words, then it is really brain water.
Fortunately, the oil found in Libya somewhat relieved the African Army ’s dependence on oil, at least allowing Rommel ’s forces to produce the oil they needed locally. Coupled with the initial results of transforming arsenals in Cairo and other places, the African Army has reduced a lot of logistical pressure. If this was placed a few months ago, Rommel did not even dare to imagine that he could get an opportunity to attack the Middle East before the start of the Battle of the Caucasus.
It has to be admitted that with the exploitation of Libyan oil fields and the gradual development of African logs and other resources, the strategic resource reserves of the Axis countries have gradually improved. Except that rubber products are still stretched due to geographical restrictions, most other important resources have been supplemented and developed by means of expansion and war. Judging from the situation in Germany in 1937, it was obviously an unrealistic fantasy to launch the battles of North Africa and Caucasus at the same time. But now all this can be achieved and is in progress.
"The barbecue plan is being implemented slowly, because of the constraints on the Turkish side and the Italian side, the second infantry division has just departed. It will take at least a month for the North Africa war to start smoothly." Sindra Hui reported: "Our side Intelligence agents confirmed that US intelligence organizations in the Middle East have learned of our military ’s action plan. The United States is urgently transporting the troops of the two divisions to the Middle East, but the time should not be as fast as we are. "
The barbecue plan is ultimately easier to implement than the Turkish express delivery plan. The Germans directly changed the attack in Turkey into a feint attack, and they also told the Americans that the feast is a feint. In terms of confidentiality, the feasibility of this plan will exceed much.
"I know, then I will personally send a message to Marshal Rommel to confirm the progress of the action plan." Akado thought about it, then waved his hand, indicating that Sindra could go out.
But before Sindra went out, an officer in a navy uniform stood at the door of Akado's office. He knocked on the open door, and then stood upright and raised his hand to perform a German hands-up ceremony: "Report! Long live Akado? Rudolph, the head of state!"
"What's the matter?" Akado looked at the officer and asked directly. The Navy ’s recent offensive plan to go to sea has been cancelled, and no important things have to be reported in person.
"My head of state, because of the use of emergency production regulations in wartime and the new shipbuilding technology, the latest naval aircraft carrier No. 7 and No. 8 have begun trial flight an hour ago." The naval officer replied: "This time The Navy has used a large number of ships to ensure that there will be no accident with ship 6. The Navy already has 7 aircraft carriers! "
