In French Morocco and Algeria, U.S. troops were preparing to land in the area. Following Churchill's idea, they were preparing to build a huge bridgehead in North Africa, which could be used as a springboard to strike Italy and eventually force it to break away from the Axis bloc. Second, it can force Vichy France to join the Allies in the battle sequence and go to war against the Germans in Africa together! The third is to restore the Mediterranean route of the British and eliminate the potential threat of Turkey and Spain. These two countries are on the sidelines, and once they find that the Germans have the upper hand, they will not hesitate to join the battle sequence on the Eastern Front. The pressure on the USSR was even greater!

In view of the above dangerous situation, Li Ming is still not very comfortable with East Africa. Although the Afrika Korps has 1,000 "jet" high-speed helicopters, they can quickly reach the war zone. The strength of less than 300,000 men in the mighty Afrika Korps is still a little insufficient in such a vast area! Not to mention that nearly half of them are useless Italians!

So the Air Force on the island of Malta had an additional squadron of troops, and now the German pilots had mastered the new aircraft. Each of them is a seasoned and experienced son of heaven! In this area of the sky is they have the final say!

Of course, the British and American armies are very concerned about air supremacy, and the Americans do not want to get air supremacy sooner. It's just that their battle plan is far from complete, and the previous British approach has proven not to be a good tactic. The method of refueling is no longer applicable here, and it will not work with the Germans to fight for attrition! Because the quality of the German aircraft was so good, any fighter of the Allies was no match for their new fighters! At present, the US military is stepping up the development of higher-performance aircraft, and when the pilots get a lot of planes and form combat effectiveness, the navy and air force will work together to organize a super-large-scale landing battle with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai! The limited strength of the German army, no matter how strong its combat strength is, is outnumbered, and it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists! It was eventually drowned by the Allied sea of people。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Rommel's success in Africa spurred further cooperation between Britain and the United States, and all their intelligence about Germany even began to be shared. While these guys were shocked by the strong combat effectiveness of the German army, their brains were also spinning tightly. Not long after the Sherman tank came out, it was already on the battlefield and was branded as its "Langsen" lighter! Faced with the fragile consequences of the new German tanks, Britain and the United States prepared to install more powerful tanks. "Pershing" then replaced the position of "Sherman" in the production line, and the unbearable lighter was used as a military material to support the Soviet Union, after all, in cold Russia, ** needs a good lighter!

In the US military industrial complex, a new type of weapon is also about to be launched. That is the once famous "Bazooka" anti-tank bazooka! In the face of the German army's smokeless, fireless, and silent three-no-40 fire, Bazooka was technologically backward by 100 years. But after all, this is the first individual anti-tank weapon of the US military! In the face of the German steel chariots, the soldiers no longer had to approach the tanks brandishing anti-tank ** at the risk of getting a headshot. Bazooka can attack vehicles accurately from a distance of 50 meters, although it is not very powerful! However, the United States did not rely on just one individual weapon to contain the German tanks. Based on the description of the British tank men who were lucky enough to escape on the battlefield, they designed a new tank destroyer against the German Tiger tanks! This car was based on the chassis of the Sherman tank and was of significant modifications. A powerful 100-mm gun, large enough to destroy a German tank, was housed in a fixed turret without a lid. In the face of German tanks, launch a powerful tungsten alloy***! The trajectory of the shell with a muzzle velocity of 1200 meters is straight, and the blow to the tank is fatal! After testing, this kind of cannon is equipped with tungsten alloy***, and it has a quite satisfactory damage ability.

One of the biggest advantages of this artillery carriage specifically for tanks is its ease of manufacture! On a Ford production line, a car rolls off the assembly line in just 20 minutes! Compared to the speed of a Pershing tank in 40 minutes, it is twice as fast! The great industrial capabilities of the Americans showed the terrifying war potential, although in terms of quality each weapon could not be compared with German-made weapons, and the American soldiers were no match for the German soldiers, but they were superior in numbers! Even two for one with the Germans is not something that the resource-strapped Germans can afford!

A modification of their Mustang fighter was also developed, and the Mustang aircraft can be said to be the closest aircraft in the world to the German BF109HSX fighter in terms of performance. Although the protection performance of the Mustang aircraft is 108,000 miles worse than that of the German aircraft, it is already very good in terms of speed, maneuverability, range and other performance. The main reason for this performance improvement is the replacement of the UK's best aero engine.

The engine manufactured by Rolls-Royce is currently the best reciprocating piston engine in the world, although it cannot compare to the piston rotary engine of the German machine in terms of unit power. It is also much more powerful than the BMW engine used in the previous BF109. In fact, the direct threat to German aircraft was the installation of a formidable 40-mm gun on this modification of the Mustang! Although the reserve ammunition is only 60 rounds, any new German aircraft that hits it in accordance with the law will bring about the consequences of plane destruction and death! For the first time, British and American planes have the power to fight against German aircraft! The Mustang has so many numerical advantages that in American aircraft factories such as Lockheed, Martin, Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, etc., this kind of aircraft is given priority to manufacturing! The Americans are going to accumulate a large number of aircraft to carry out a saturation attack on Germany!

The British were not idle, although they were choked by Rommel with a large artery! However, with the strong support of Canada and the United States to the west, it was able to hold on for a while. Not only that, but South Africa, a resource-rich country, has also stepped up its support for the UK mainland. The British Empire is like a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, let alone just cut off one foot!

The British Isles are piled up with so many supplies that they almost crush the islands into the sea. Where were these war materials a threat to the European continent, Field Marshal Rundstedt, the German military commander in charge of defending the Western Front, according to Li Ming's instructions, placed the panzer division in an area not very far from the sea, and prepared to launch a counter-assault on the British and American forces that dared to land.

The British modified the Sherman, which was supported by the Americans some time ago, and in order to increase the production of 17-pounder guns, they even set up another arsenal. Specializing in the production of 17-pounder guns, which are in short supply, and shells for 17-pounder guns. The British made a new type of shell, called shelling stabilization***! These arrow-like shells were designed to penetrate the armor of enemy tanks. The tungsten carbide core, which is not inferior to tungsten alloy, has excellent armor-piercing ability, and there is no problem in destroying the German tiger!

At the same time, the Royal Navy is also regrouping, and their losses in Africa are actually not too great. Because as the main force of modern naval warfare, the losses of aircraft carriers were not large, and only one aircraft carrier was destroyed by the Luftwaffe in Africa. The lead aircraft carrier was lucky enough to escape, and with the help of British troops in the Middle East. I have already begun to make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope and flee to the mainland to rest!

Li Ming did not pay attention to the movements of the Royal Navy for the time being, because the current long-range attack aircraft of the Luftwaffe were powerful enough to deter warships within the combat radius. The British knew that it was actually convenient for planes to hit warships, and in the first battle of Taranto they used obsolete planes to severely damage the Italian navy. What's more, the Germans have new aircraft with ground-attack ammunition for the first time!

The British Royal Navy did not dare to invade the Mediterranean Sea within half a year, which was the initial judgment of Bai Qi! The first step in their combat goal is to seize air supremacy!

So Li Ming, in accordance with the original plan, began the installation of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns in the turkey hunting operation.

In order to better adapt to the mobility requirements of modern warfare, the requirements for self-propelled guns are even higher. First of all, the lightweight of weapons is a standard of design. The heavy firepower of the rapid reaction force must be characterized by being able to deploy quickly. It is not only convenient for air transportation, but also within the carrying capacity of "jet" high-speed helicopters.

Fortunately, Rommel has just won a lot of resources in Africa, and of course there is no shortage of non-ferrous metals!

Li Ming knows in his database that Africa's strategic metal resources are still very rich. For example, titanium is a raw material that needs to meet the design requirements of Germany and reduce the weight of the self-propelled 155 cannon in Sierra Leone and Mozambique. In particular, Mozambique is not only rich in sisal, but also rich in titanium, with reserves of 16 million tons! Enough for many, many years of German mining! Guinea's aluminum is also a coveted target, because titanium-aluminum alloy is the best material for making light weapons, and it is also a good material for making submarines!

So at Hitler's urging, a force to mine in Africa was soon formed。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
