Chapter 21: The North African Corps
British Politics.. The credibility of the government has declined significantly, and now Ji Feng only needs an opportunity to bring Churchill to power. Fu Tui: lā such words British politics. The government may collapse immediately, and let its rear be more stable. In this way, you can greatly increase your chances of surviving and let yourself successfully get mission points.
But now some people are happy and some are worried, such as the big fat man who was smashed out of North Africa.
Because he is very arrogant, he hopes to be able to restore the Roman emperor of the past. The glory of the country, brazenly launched an attack on the British African colonies, and as a result, the soldiers drove to tease the little Tan. Gram took more wine than ammunition supplies to fight the British, who were equipped with Matilda.
After being beaten and vomiting blood, the British chased the Yiduli for hundreds of kilometers, and it can even be said that they were about to chase the Yiduli to the vicinity of French Tunisia. This was simply another invasion of Greece, and the Italian was beaten to the French border. Both times happened to be an invasion of Italy, and then it was sent to the French border.
At this time, the arrogant ink... Demand.. Village.. Ni only remembered that there seemed to be a small one... Beard has a large number of combat-ready troops. So the big fat man put down his face and begged Xi Xiao. Beard sent troops to Africa, and as expected, the big fat man was small. The beard was knocked. To be precise, it was hoped that it was small.. Beard, Ge Da Fat and Ji Feng knocked together.
What the big fat man needed was to restore the Roman Emperor. The glory of the country, then this is worth scrutinizing. Which Roman emperor was it? country, which period of territory is a good entry point.
So it was hoped that the small.. The big fat man who was completely unbearable by the beard knocked out was furious, and Nozomi was small.. The beard said that since you don't want us to send troops, then we won't send troops, and it just so happens that we still need to attack the British.
So the big fat man was successfully knocked. The German-Italian dividing line will be the Suez Canal, with all West and Central Asia east of the Suez Canal going to Germany, and all of the west of the Suez Canal going to Italy. But the Germans can only help you get rid of the British, and it's up to you what virtue you can do for the rest. If you die of yourselves, then die. Nozomi small.. The beard's original words made the fat man angry half to death.

Hope.. Special.. Le ordered Ji Feng to establish the Afrika Korps and gave Ji Feng the greatest rights. Because Lao Xi is actually interested in the oil and gas resources of the Middle East, although there is a lot of coal in Germany now, oil is definitely a shortcoming. A small amount of petrochemical products can also be produced from coal to oil, but once the number goes up, it is absolutely necessary to occupy at least one oil field, at least to ensure the whole country. The normal supply of oil and gas to the army is sufficient.
Otherwise, even if Germany now has a very strong armored force, the air force is still passable. But if you don't have oil, you can't move anything. At that time, the combat effectiveness of this army was even worse than that of medieval knights.
At least medieval knights could charge with broadswords and spears, and these armored soldiers could only carry pistols and submachine guns and hit a few magazines and bullets to brush up their presence. Left Tan.. Grams, the armored corps grabbed a little bit more than the logistics staff and medical personnel.
……
When Ji Feng ordered the general, he was still a little obscure, and it was only the army major general Erwin Rommel who was favored by Lao Xi. That is, the legendary Desert Fox, this big man is fighting in Africa with Montgomery, who is six times his own data, at least people still have some strength to fight back, if Ji Feng is allowed to fight such a battle, maybe he will lose money... The pants are gone.
Ji Feng was there to make a plan, and Lao Xi and Mr. Ge were watching and discussing on the side.
As if to brush up on existence, Goering asked, "Ludendorff, how is our air force in North Africa deployed?" Now the Air Force is basically at full capacity. ”
Ji Feng thought for a while, and after looking at the markings on the map, he waved his big hand: "Isn't that old thing that Yeshunnek removed?" By now, the instructors of the aviation school should have trained a group of cadets, and one fighter squadron and one squadron of bombers and bombers of various kinds were drawn from the Second Air Force stationed in France, the First Air Force stationed in the mainland, and the Third Air Force stationed in Poland to form a demonstration fighter group and a demonstration bomber group. Flight school students are sent on a rotational basis from within the country, one wing to one and a half wings at a time. Each batch took turns for a few months, making the British a stepping stone for us. ”
Lao Xi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, not only the Air Force can train qualified soldiers in such a large number, but also the Army and Navy." ”
Mr. Ge wiped his sweat, and the guy Jeshunek estimated that he was completely finished, and when he was preparing for the French campaign, he proposed to send flight school instructors to the front line, which seemed to be left in Ludendorff's heart. Shadowed. Mr. Ge secretly shouted, now that Yeshunek and Udet are finished, then the strength of the Air Force under my control will be a little stronger, and after turning back and pushing Ludendorff to a high position, he will be able to completely control the Air Force.
……
The final result made Lao Xi a little shocked. Ji Feng only planned three and a half divisions, to be precise, three divisions and one armored grenadier brigade. In addition, the Air Force is divided into two wings (one is the cadet wing and the other is the demonstration company. In comparison, although the latter is also a wing, it has only half or even fewer fighters. However, because the personnel are elite, the number can be compensated. )
At this time, Lao Xi thought of the navy, and now if he thinks of fighting in North Africa, there will be no supply without the navy.
Ji Feng looked at the map, and after comparing it a few times with a ruler compass and a drawing pencil on the map, he made a plan: "We can get some warships from Vichy France first, anyway, they can't support the navy now because they want to pay us war reparations." We can lease these ships by deducting the interest on the war reparations, and return them when we have successfully conquered the Mediterranean. The island of Malta was then taken down with airborne troops and marines, after which the troops on the continent were restocked. The most complete way would be for us to take Gibraltar once we had established ourselves in Africa. ”
Hope.. Special.. Le was a little shocked, the thinking of this Ludendorff in front of him was too jumpy, and he had nothing to do with Gibraltar.
But Nozomi: Special.. In order to show his composure and leadership temperament, Le asked how to fight.
Ji Feng pretended to ponder for a while, and said, "Gibraltar has been operated by the British for a long time, even if we have the strength to fight him now, we will lose a lot of people." According to my estimates, the number should not be less than 20,000, and may even reach 50,000. So we can't send ground troops directly to attack the Gibraltar fortress head-on, but we still have to use land forces. ”
Hope.. Special.. Le was shocked, could this mean to use the poison that had been around since the First World War. Gas reserves, right?
Ji Feng understood that Lao Xi was poisoned during World War I. After staring at it, he was completely frightened, so he explained: "Although we still use land troops, we are trained in other ways, and we will not use any inhuman beings. The means of the Tao. At best, it's not above board. ”
Hope.. Special.. Le was puzzled, but there is no theory of "special operations" yet.
Ji Feng explained: "The Air Force's Marshal Goering Regiment has a paratrooper battalion under its jurisdiction, and this paratroop battalion is not an ordinary paratrooper battalion, and we train according to higher standards during training. They were equipped with the best land equipment in all of Germany, including even semi-automatic rifles and some weapons belonging to combat engineers. In addition, submachine guns are also standard for them. They are very strong in melee combat, and if given a chance, they can take them out from within the British. ”
Hope.. Special.. Le immediately made a decision, agreed to Ji Feng's plan, and asked Ji Feng to hurry up and make a plan for him. This is also the benefit of literary middle-age. Thinking jumps too fast, and often you finish thinking before you finish speaking.
……
The Afrika Korps was established in the offices of the old Greece and included the newly reequipped 7th Panzer Division (formerly the 7th Light Division), the 16th Motorized Infantry Division, the 32nd Motorized Infantry Division, and the Hermangoling Panzergrenadier Brigade. But even more so that Nozomi. Special.. What was surprising was that Ji Feng actually asked for logistical supplies from a group army.
What Ji Feng meant was that the environment in North Africa was very special, and logistics and supplies would have required very high standards......
Eventually, the North African Corps was formed and became the first combat army to be directly attached to the General Staff.
