In November, the weather is getting cooler, but in the barren African continent, the weather is still hot. Xu Dazhuang touched the sweat on his cheeks hard www.biquge.info reached out and grabbed the kettle hanging on the wooden cane, raised his head and poured a big mouthful, and then did not dare to relax his vigilance at all and looked around the wooden tower with a telescope. This is the African continent, it was Xu Dazhuang who set foot on the African continent for 33 days, and unlike the South Asian servant army that was sent here in advance, Xu Dazhuang and his 2,000 Chinese soldiers have been left in this place called Somalia.

There are still men and women with long black charcoal heads under the sky, Xu Dazhuang, who has never left the Central Plains, can be regarded as an eye-opener this time, and he has never been able to figure out why someone looks so black. A yellow dragon composed of dust faintly appeared in the distance, and Xu Dazhuang immediately used the walkie-talkie in the sentry tower to contact the dark post a mile in front of him, and after confirming that it was a convoy, Xu Dazhuang let go of his thumb on the heavy machine gun firing button.

It was a convoy that came, to be precise, it should be a convoy from the port, Xu Dazhuang had seen the convoy from the port many times in the previous 32 days, and he knew that these trucks were loaded with supplies, weapons and ammunition. At the tail of the convoy was a long convoy of dust, at the head of which were two open-top jeeps, and the rest were all military trucks draped with thick tarps.

Xu Dazhuang obviously guessed wrong this time, the convoy that came here from the port was not loaded with supplies, but a group of South Asian natives wearing British military uniforms. "Commander Wang, here are the first batch of 800 people, and there will be four batches of recruits coming to your side before dark, and the headquarters will explain that everything will be implemented according to the original plan." The officer in charge of escorting the car took out the handover documents and handed them to the commander of the base, and leaned closer to whisper a few explanations, who nodded his head again and again in understanding.

Xu Dazhuang's base is only 30 kilometers away from the port, and there are more than a dozen training camps like this along the Somali coast, all of which are not very far from the seaport without exception. In order to make up for the lack of troops and turn the tide of the war, after some heated discussions, the British cabinet finally agreed to Sir James's suggestion, and promised to help recruit and train the South Asian indigenous servant troops to help fight in the North African battlefield.

The umbrella has privately signed an armistice agreement with the Japanese side, except for the Dangkou army that remained on the front line of Inchon and Seoul, Zhuo Fei has transferred almost all the servant troops in the umbrella's hands to India to change clothes. Somalia is the first step of the umbrella out of Asia, Zhuo Fei under the pretext of establishing a training camp, with 200,000 servant troops who have already experienced the test of the battlefield in exchange for 100 years of lease in Somalia.

Under the active coordination of Sir James, the 500,000 recruits recruited by the Umbrella in South Asia crossed the Arabian Sea via India to Somalia for training, while the 200,000 servant troops that Zhuo Fei had previously sent to India for refitting had already entered Sudan and marched towards Egypt. "The Red Sea, we must take full control of this place, only by naming the Red Sea, can our follow-up troops safely enter the Mediterranean region." In the huge war room in Kuala Lumpur, officers from China, Britain and the United States gathered together to explain to them Zhuo Fei.

The baton in Zhuo Fei's hand moved all the way up the Red Sea until it was on the Mediterranean Sea, and then continued, "The German army is not very smooth in North Africa, although they have not yet had the problem of fuel shortage, but the harsh climatic conditions in North Africa are also restricting us at the same time. Our current disadvantage is the lack of armored forces to contend with, and I don't want our trained soldiers to engage in hand-to-hand combat with German tanks with rifles. ”

Zhuo Fei's ridicule caused everyone to laugh, but everyone knew that what Zhuo Fei just said was not all ridicule, "Therefore, we need to make a backup battle plan in advance that is beneficial to us, and when necessary, we must ignore the situation in North Africa and forcibly change the combat area, so as to divert the attention of the German army and the movement of troops." As he spoke, the baton in Zhuo Fei's hand was pointed at the location of Italy on the map.

"When we go into the Mediterranean, we will be able to hit more targets, I personally recommend Italy and Greece, but in terms of the impact of the war, Italy should be our first target." Zhuo Fei from later generations naturally knows how "outstanding" the combat effectiveness of the Italian army is, and there have been such discussions in many military forums in later generations, and many military enthusiasts believe that if Germany had not made a mistake in forming an alliance with Italy, and entrusted the burden to the Italian army with great trust, perhaps the outcome of World War II would have changed.

Eating persimmons is naturally to choose soft pinching, although it is the South Asian servant army troops that will fight at the vanguard at that time, Zhuo Fei does not plan to fill hundreds of thousands of servant troops into the big hole of the North African battlefield at one time. As soon as Zhuo Fei's envisaged offensive direction was launched, the officers of the three countries present were all sideways, and none of them thought that Zhuo Fei would envision Italy as the main target of the attack. Sir James, who was a bystander and could not interject, was very excited, and if the coalition went straight into the Mediterranean and attacked Italy, it would definitely be a great help to the current crisis facing Britain itself.

From the very beginning of fooling Sir James to obtain the lease of Somalia, Zhuo Fei did not really consider going to North Africa to fight against the German armored forces, and the British troops who had received orthodox military training were no match for the German armored forces, and they were even more dispensed with the soldiers of the South Asian Servant Army who were only indigenous farmers a few months ago. What Zhuo Fei wanted to do was to enter the Mediterranean, and then know that the Yellow Dragon would attack Italy or Greece, and use the coalition's tactics of the sea of people to fish in troubled waters on the European battlefield as much as possible.

Led by hundreds of thousands of South Asian servant troops originally under the umbrella, Sir James also dispatched more than 200,000 Anglo-Indian troops from India to Sudan, and there are still many local armed forces in the Arabian Peninsula across the sea who have accepted the British call are being assembled. Moreover, Zhuo Fei had privately assured Sir James that as long as the Red Sea was controlled, the coalition could still get help from the Jewish Independence Army.

"Boss, Chongqing called, the other side has agreed to our plan, but it is not the New First Army, but the New Third Army, which was originally scheduled to go north to Mongolia." The military analysis meeting was temporarily closed, and Vivian, who served as the liaison between the three parties on behalf of the umbrella, came to Zhuo Fei with the telegram she had just received. Borrowing troops from Chongqing was Zhuo Fei's idea, and since the Chongqing high-level accepted Japan's proposal to completely armistice the war, Zhuo Fei has always been worried about the emergence of a civil war, and using borrowing troops as an excuse to transfer troops unwilling to participate in the civil war out of China is the last effort that Zhuo Fei can do for this country.

Zhuo Fei had a very good impression of Dai Anlan, who commanded the New First Army, and among the nine New Army troops, only Dai Anlan, who commanded the New First Army, once said that he was only loyal to the country and the nation. Zhuo Fei proposed to Chongqing to borrow the New First Army in the name of military mercenary, but he did not expect that it was not the New First Army, but the New Third Army commanded by Lin Biao. "We want our people in Chongqing to take a closer look and see why the Communist Party agreed to send the New Third Army to us." If it was before the armistice with Japan, Zhuo Fei would never have considered which army came, but now he had to be cautious.

In fact, after Chongqing agreed to an armistice with the Japanese army, the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had already come to the fore, especially in the seizure of Japanese assets in various places, and the friction and conflicts between the two sides had intensified day by day. Although the top leaders of the two parties in the coalition government have also been suppressed by themselves, the coalition government without foreign enemies is already in a situation of disintegration, and in particular, the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been around for a long time, and they are absolutely not something that can be made up for by short-term cooperation.

"Forget it, let's tell our people not to investigate this matter, don't be told by someone with a heart that our umbrella is a-stirring stick." Before Vivien could turn to leave, Zhuo Fei changed his mind. "The opportunity has been given to them, if they have the intention to avoid friction and conflict, there are solutions and ways to solve everything, but if they don't want to, even if we try harder, it will be in vain."

Zhuo Fei's words made Vivian think, but she knew that she couldn't persuade Zhuo Fei, because even Zhuo Fei himself had no solution. By the time the German army in North Africa learned that a large number of armed forces had entered Sudan, Zhuo Fei had already transferred almost all of the South Asian servant troops under his umbrella to the African continent, and at the same time, a large number of weapons, ammunition and supplies arrived in Somalia.

The war was almost imminent, and the arrival of a large number of new equipment made the servant army and the Anglo-Indian coalition army in Sudan full of confidence, but at this time, Zhuo Fei unexpectedly recruited Angela from Western Australia to Somalia, and there were two Jewish geological exploration teams that came to Somalia with Angela. No one knew why Zhuo Fei sent a geological exploration team to Somalia, and after hearing the news, Sir James and Zhuo Fei had a secret meeting, so he immediately occupied the telecommunications room and sent a telegram to the British mainland.

"I'm sure there are abundant oil and gas reserves in Sudan, and now that the focus of our war has shifted to Africa and Europe, if we send oil from Southeast Asia, it will inevitably affect the war, so I need you to explore the oil fields and build refineries in Sudan." Unlike those Jews, Angela had no doubts about Zhuo Fei's words, because in Mexico and Germany, Angela had achieved great success according to Zhuo Fei's instructions.
