After returning to the "Pu", it didn't take much effort for Zheng Jiangming to confirm Bai Zhizhan's speculation.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, the Rangman Army did not increase its troops to Tunisia, and the armored troops that had been dispatched before stayed in Benghazi, on the grounds that the supply of ammunition and other materials could not keep up, and there was not enough fuel to go to Tunisia, so it could only stop in Benghazi and organize defense on the spot.

In addition, the General Staff of the Hindman Army is already considering the withdrawal of troops from Tunisia.

The reason is still that the supply of materials cannot keep up.

For months, the Rangman army had been sending transport planes at night to venture into Tunisia to supply the local defenders by airdrop and airlift.

Leaving aside the losses for the time being, just efficiency and cost determine that the Air Force is not a long-term solution.

Add to that the losses, and even short-term maintenance becomes unfeasible.

The key is that there was no need to replenish ammunition before, and the main goods transported by air were food and other daily necessities, so the requirements for transportation capacity were not very high.

But now, ammunition must be replenished.

In addition, the Confederate forces had captured Tangier, and the vanguard had reached the vicinity of Oran, which would advance to Algiers in a few days.

After taking control of the airport in Tangier, the Allied forces began to send long-range fighters to attack Tunisia.

Crucially, Tangier is located south of the Zhira Strait and can be supplied by sea, so the aviation units deployed there do not have to worry about running out of fuel and ammunition.

All in all, it was too dangerous to airlift supplies to Tunisia under the threat of the Allied coalition.

Just a few days earlier, a group of transport planes of the Fenman Air Force had been intercepted over the land center of the sea north of Tunisia, and more than 30 transport planes had been shot down.

It's just that this may be a bitter ploy.

As a result, the Fenman Air Force had to stop airlifting supplies to Tunisia.

Due to the shortage of supplies, the Hindman Army has proposed to withdraw its troops from Tunisia, but it has not yet been approved by the High Command of the Empire.

Of course, there is another crucial factor.

That's right, it's the Locke colonial government in the Northern Xuan region.

After the Confederate forces landed in Casablanca, the Free Locke government in exile in the Kingdom of Bran issued a call for the Locke army and civilians around the world to take action against the military occupation of the Empire, so that Locke could restore freedom and democracy, and let the Locke Republic stand on the top of Western civilization again.

However, if you really want to say it, since Charlemagne, even during the imperial period that swept across the Western Continent, Locke has not stood at the pinnacle of Western civilization. As for Charlemagne, not only Locke the Great, but also the common ancestor of many Western peoples.

Regardless of history, the Locke colonial government in the Northern Xuan region bore the brunt of the impact.

While most of the colonial officials said they would continue to abide by the treaties they had made, recognizing the Locke State, and accepting orders from the Empire, many of the officials below them, as well as the rank-and-file officers and soldiers of the vigilante paramilitary forces, were influenced by the Free Locke.

Here, too, it has to do with the intelligence agencies of the Allied Group.

After the Coalition forces landed in Casablanca, the Coalition provided weapons and ammunition to the local resistance groups by various means, mainly airdrops.

In addition, a large number of junior officers were bribed with cash and gold.

According to later statistics, after landing in the Beixuan area, the Nuland Federation alone moved about 500 kilograms of gold bars to the local area.

Almost all of this gold fell into the pockets of the grassroots officials of the Locke colonial government.

That is, through bribery and rebellion, the alliance group shook the dominance of the colonial government in the Beixuan region.

As a result, attacks against the Hindman occupation forces have become more frequent.

Although for the most part, the underground resistance groups did not take advantage, but the repeated attacks made the military occupation more than worth the cost.

The point is, there are no resources worth occupying in this place!

Prior to this, the Hindman army controlled Tunisia only to defend Malta.

If there is no need to defend Malta, what reason is there to occupy Tunisia?

There are all kinds of signs that the Riman Empire is giving up the Raleigh Kingdom step by step according to the plan, so that the alliance group feels that there is an opportunity.

Of course, this is also creating a reason for yourself.

The most crucial point is the strategic counterattack launched by the alliance group.

As mentioned earlier, the landing of the Confederate forces in Casablanca in the Northern Xuan region was clearly aimed at the Empire, that is, to defeat the Empire first.

It's just that opening a new front in the Beixuan region alone is not enough to achieve the goal.

The next step is to counterattack the Western Continent.

So, do you land on the Rock Country, or do you go ashore somewhere else?

If you don't consider the actual military strength, just from the perspective of strategic influence, starting from the mainland of the Bran Kingdom and landing in the Rock Kingdom after crossing the strait, it is definitely the best choice.

It's just that, after considering the actual situation, this is again the worst option.

With the current situation, especially after the Imperial Navy has increased its investment in the Fanyan Ocean, landing directly in the Rock Country will only end in a fiasco.

In this case, you have to choose somewhere else.

If you want to settle for the next best thing, it is the Kingdom of Raleigh.

Although the Terman Empire had taken control of the Balkans and the Tyre Republic had entered the war, ships from the Syphane Canal could go directly to the Balkan ports and send supplies to the Terman Empire by rail, but the Raleigh Kingdom was still of great value.

For example, Sicily.

Back in the days of the Roman Empire, Sicily was famous as a granary.

Even now, Sicily is still the most famous food producer in the entire Luxinhai region, thanks to its unique natural environment.

If Sicily can be taken, it will be able to hit the Raleigh Kingdom hard, increase the burden on the Entente group, and at least allow the Liangxia Empire to provide more aid to the Riman Empire.

In addition, the rebel forces in Sicily could be used by the allies, thus making it easier to attack.

Occupy Sicily, even if it is not able to land in Raleigh mainland, it can deploy aviation forces here and threaten the sea routes of the Eastern Continent.

Of course, attacking Raleigh mainland from Sicily was not much of a challenge.

If you take into account the Rock Kingdom, it is also a good choice to send troops from the northwest of the Raleigh Kingdom.

The key is that in the case that the Raleigh Kingdom has been shaken, the difficulty of sending troops to control the Raleigh Kingdom is very low, and it can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Taking a step back, even if the operation fails, it can turn the Raleigh Kingdom into an ulcer for the Entente.

It can be seen that the alliance group does have good reasons to make a fuss about the Raleigh Kingdom.

The alliance group sent troops to attack the Beixuan region, which was to prepare for this, or to put pressure on the Raleigh Kingdom.

According to the information provided by the Sixth Bureau, it is very likely that the Alliance Group and the Raleigh Kingdom have secretly reached a secret agreement.

It's just that, according to the usual style of the Raleigh Kingdom, it will never take action until the last moment.

When the Imperial Navy occupies and controls the Shifan Canal and opens up the shipping routes, the Raleigh authorities will definitely change their minds and cut off contact with the Alliance.

Actually, this is also the key.

As mentioned before the White Stop-War, it is necessary to speed up the march into Lu Xinhai.

As long as we can attack Lu Xinhai in a timely manner, grasp Lu Xinhai's sea supremacy, and keep Malta, we will be able to fundamentally safeguard the unity and stability of the Entente bloc.
