Chapter 408: Rommel was ordered


Berlin.
The room in the Führer’s Mansion was full of smoke, and several senior officers had bloodshot eyes.
Cyric has come to the present step by step, and every step is like walking a tightrope, especially now, Cyric has actually provoked the British navy, trying to use a surprise attack to completely destroy the British naval fleet.
Can this operation be successful?
Brausic was undoubtedly the one who worried the most. Since the Peace Bay plan was issued, he hasn't closed his eyes, pacing back and forth in the room constantly, his heart is constantly trembling.
Just after dawn outside, the first news finally arrived late.
The ju-290 bomber of the Air Force successfully completed the mission! Successfully blew up nine large warships including the Royal Ark!
The arrival of this news, in an instant, made Brausic, who had just sat on the chair, stood up again: "Success?"
"Yes, the British do not have any precautions. Now, our Junker-88 bomber is conducting follow-up bombing."
All that comes is good news!
Really succeeded?
Because the front is in battle, the delivery of the news is delayed. Even so, the constant news still makes them extremely excited.
The Hood, the Royal Oak, and the large battleships were sunk.
When the naval carrier aircraft was dispatched, it was basically confirmed that the British navy in the Scarpa Bay Naval Base no longer existed.
"Good job." Brausic finally spit out these words.
I have to say that this plan is really too thorough. It succeeded in hitting the weakness of the British fleet. After this attack, within a few years, there is no need to worry about sea power in the North Sea.
"Where is Führer Cyric?" Brausic looked at the empty seats and couldn't help asking.
After giving the order, Cyric went to sleep, and told the people below not to disturb him with anything other than the news of victory.
Now that it succeeded, it's time to tell the head of Cyric the good news!
It's already more than 10 o'clock in the morning, and the head of state, who has always had the good habit of going to bed and getting up early, should have come long ago.
"The head of state is receiving General Rommel." A deputy said to him.
The Führer got up a long time ago, but after he got up, the Führer did not come here to wait for the result of the bombing, but went to meet an army officer.
Erwin Rommel was born on November 15, 1891 in Heidenheim, the capital of Wurttemberg, and joined the army in July 1910.
During World War I, he went to France with the army, and later fought the Romanians and Italians on the Eastern Front. Awarded the Blue Max by the Kaiser.
After the end of the First World War, he remained in the 100,000 army, serving as infantry battalion commander and army academy instructor. Last year, Rommel was promoted to major general by Cyric and served as commander of the Führer Base Camp.
Rommel was well-known in World War II. He eventually became a field marshal. He is also a famous military strategist, tactician, and theorist in world military history. He is nicknamed "Desert Fox, Empire Eagle", and Manstein. Guderian and Guderian were also called by later generations as the three famous generals in Germany during World War II.
Guderian was the first to be discovered by Cyric, and Manstein, who recently received Cyric’s attention, presided over the battle plan for France. As for Rommel, he is about to usher in the peak of his life!
At this time, in another office, Rommel was looking at Cyric with expectant eyes.
"Rommel, you have always requested to be transferred to the commander of the combat unit. After careful consideration, I decided to appoint you as the commander of the 7th Armored Division." Cyric said to Rommel.
Hearing this, Rommel was extremely excited. He stood up and saluted Cyric: "I will definitely not disappoint the Führer's high hopes and build the 7th Armored Division into our devil's division."
Staying in the base camp, although it is a fat man, is not what Rommel hoped. As a soldier, he very much hopes to go to the front to fight on the battlefield, where his destiny is.
And now, he finally got the opportunity to command an armored division!
The Army’s 7th Armored Division was formed at the end of last year. Although it is not as large as the Waffen-SS armored division, the German armored division of this era can already come up with any one and can single out a group army.
Commanding an armored division is the hope of many soldiers.
"Rommel, the time left for you is very short." Cyric said: "You have to build the 7th Armored Division into an armored division suitable for combat in tropical desert areas in a short time."
Hearing this, Rommelton was taken aback, fighting in the tropical desert?
"Head of State, with all due respect, shouldn't our most urgent goal now be to defeat our old enemy France?" Rommel was very strange. As a veteran of World War I, he hoped to kill France.
Cyric nodded: "Yes, our goal is to kill the enemy France, but General Rommel, as a senior commander, must have a long-term vision. We are not only We must consider how we should act, and we must also consider how the enemy will act."
Just now, Rommel was still at a loss, but after that, he reacted.
"Yes, Your Excellency, your lesson is right. We have to consider how the enemy will act. Our air strikes cost the British naval fleet more than half. They will definitely retaliate against us."
Before coming in, Rommel received the first bombing report of the Junker 290 bomber. He knew that this bold plan of action would surely be a complete success.
So, what retaliatory actions will the British who become angry and ashamed take?
If it is blood for blood and tooth for tooth, the British should dispatch a large number of bombers to bomb the German fleet. Unfortunately, the British do not have that ability.
British aviation technology has fallen behind Germany. German bf109 fighter jets can crush British aircraft, not to mention the fw190 developed later.
In the UK, at present, only the Spitfire has the ability to fight against German fighters. Unfortunately, the Spitfire has insufficient range and cannot provide enough for their bombers.
If there were no fighter jets to escort, the British bombers to bomb the German fleet would be a unilateral act of death.
At the same time, the German fleet will not stay in the port. They are all in the North Sea. It is impossible for Britain to achieve the same record as its own in the bombing of Scapa Bay.
So, what will the British do? Picking up soft persimmons is affirmative, and Germany has a base that is very important, but Germany does not have much ability to protect it.
That is the Libya base!
