Chapter 71: The Secret War (3)

The day Sickert and Contini arrived in Tripoli coincided with the same day that the oil guards were aggressively sweeping across the border.

On this day, more than 3,200 oil guards divided into four routes, using motorcycles and armored vehicles to open the way, using rapid shock and purge tactics, supplemented by Stedent's airborne decapitation tactics and air strikes by United Aviation, swept away the Algerian tribal forces identified in advance, and not a single prisoner was left, all of them were gathered by Italian soldiers and suddenly burned, and finally a pile of gasoline was set on fire.

Is there something wrong in this? Of course there is, but Contini has no ability to distinguish who is good and who is wronged, so he can only kill them all.

As for whether he is completely innocent? He doesn't think so. At least the benefits they get are all shared, right? You can't always share the benefits with all, and only some people stand up when you take the responsibility - this is not democratic! In order to avoid the difficulty of the tribal leader, Contini can only "help" to the end.

Three days later, Sickert arrived at the scene, and when he heard the news that the troops had been cleared and they were planning to retreat, he couldn't help but curse.

"Are you all pig brains? What is that place? It's Algeria, it's a French colony, have you ever taken the feelings of the French into account? ”

"Sir, this ...... Didn't you educate us soldiers to obey orders as their duty! ”

Sickert was stunned by this sentence, and said after a long time: "You are not an army, and he is not your commander, so ......"

"However, it is not obvious that you agreed to serve as a military adviser to the United Group as soon as you stepped down as commander of the defense forces, President, at least you are our commander......"

"But didn't I send a telegram to remind you to be cautious?"

"Yes, the telegram said that the deployment should be cautious, the action should be bold, and the tactics should be fast, and we did exactly that, and the whole operation was neat and clean, without any delay......" Blomburg was very aggrieved, "This is completely according to the instructions, you don't think it was done very well......"

Syckert meant that the matter of cross-border clearance should be cautious, while Contini cleverly changed it to a different way, turning it into a cautious tactical implementation – the same cautious, and the meaning behind this is different.

"It's over!" A ray of despair welled up in Sickert's heart, who had hired himself as a consultant and used his own mouth to say "prudent" was finally used by Contini so well that he almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

It's no wonder that this kid can succeed and be able to call for wind and rain in Italy to toss a big scene, this kind of power and means is really impressive.

"Count you ruthless!" He slammed Contini viciously, squeezing out half a sentence from his teeth, but he couldn't squeeze out the second half of the sentence - the matter is done, is it interesting to say more?

"No, it's all everyone's work." Contini smiled slightly, and said in a loud voice, "Count the results of the battle, reward those who have made outstanding contributions, the standard is tentatively set at 3 months' salary, and the others will be reduced according to merit, and those who have been injured and injured should be treated as soon as possible, and they will be paid in time, and the brothers will not be allowed to shed blood, sweat and tears." ”

Blomburg shook his head, he had obviously seen the matter between Sickert and Contini, but what if he understood, everything was done, and he still cared about that? So he in turn advised Sickert: "Sir, don't worry too much, we have complete evidence"

[Appeal to support genuine Ha]

"So what? We are not wrong with the group! Isn't it just a little tribal armament, what's so scary, just kill it. ”

The German officers shook their heads: the Italians were really bold, and they went to the territory of Algeria to spread wild, and they actually had a cheerful face, and they were also convinced.

To tell the truth, the German officers also said they couldn't understand Contini's high profile: the oil guard was obviously the president's private army, and in Germany, this kind of thing could poke a hole in the sky, and the Italians were good, as if nothing happened.

"The president called, he has come to Tripoli on the battleship Dante, let us deploy to the border between Libya and Algeria as soon as possible, and he also carried a batch of military supplies with the ship, so that we don't have to worry about consumption."

Blomburg asked suspiciously, "Fabio, the Italian Navy has also been dispatched?" ”

"Navy? Nope! ”

"That'...... What's the deal with Dante? Isn't this the main battleship of your country? ”

“…… You say Dante...... Sold to the president three days ago, it now assumes the responsibility of the United Group Mediterranean transport boat, responsible for the transportation of North African and Italian ports......"

"Traffic boats?" Blomburg, Kesselring, and a few staff officers next to them were instantly shocked, of course they knew what a transport boat was, wasn't it just about the same size as a torpedo boat, and it was specially used for communications, heralds, and the boarding of important people. Whose transport boat has a displacement of 20,000 tons and 12 triple 12-inch guns?

Blomburg repeated again with disapprehension: "Transport boats? ”

"Anyway, that's what the telegram said, this is the president's current private yacht, the president is so rich, it's not too much to spend $4 million to buy a warship, right?" As a member of the Youth Alliance, Fabio said proudly, "When the rich people of other countries are rich, they like yachts, villas, wine, and beautiful women, and the president is not interested in these things, he only likes warships and equipment, didn't we buy the Roma last time?" Later, the Roma became a bathtub ship, now it should be a new taste, I think Dante is very good, in the future, the cannon can be dismantled and converted into a train gun or a race gun, Tripoli and Benghazi are still lacking these......"

Blomburg knew in his heart: most likely the president had reached an agreement with Mussolini, and it was inconvenient for the Italian Wehrmacht to come forward, and it was still possible to sell a warship to show its support.

"By the way, the telegram also said that General Sickt had been hired as an assistant military adviser to the president of the United Group and had also come with the ship."

"General Sickt?" These were not only shocked, they were simply petrified, and Kesselring stammered, "Is General Sickert, commander-in-chief of our defense forces?" How is this possible? ”

"Nothing is impossible!" Fabio whispered about Sickert's dismissal, and said apologetically, "Some time ago, you were busy clearing up Libyan tribal forces, and suddenly you received an order to move to the border between Libya and Algeria, so I didn't have time to tell you. ”

"This matter is a bit important, I need to discuss it, and how to fight must be deployed."

"Of course, the United Aviation has preliminarily assembled and will carry out reconnaissance missions starting tomorrow to create suspicious dens of terrorists and then clean them up...... The president's intentions are clear! Fabio stepped up, "None of them will be left!" Sweep them all! ”

"How so?"

After listening to Blomburg's briefing, the first batch of German officers who arrived were also a little dumbfounded, but the Italian officers were extremely excited -- although the tactics of carrying out centralized rectification in Libya and slowly advancing and compressing the living space were opposite, they were too slow, too energy-consuming, and physically demanding. So be sure to clean up the terrorists, all of them are excited.

"Let's do it! Sir! We've been training for so many days, it's time to move. ”

"But that's French territory?"

"It doesn't matter, when the company signed the contract with the French government, it was agreed that the company could send and recruit the necessary security forces, so we didn't violate the rules. Besides, didn't the French say that they were not strong enough? Then we'll help them. ”

The so-called necessary "security forces" are, of course, a pit dug by Contini for the French authorities. What is security guard? It's all vague concept. According to the French idea, there must be either 1-2 hundreds, get some pistols and rifles, almost equivalent to the militia's security team, but the security force defined by Contini not only has a full set of army equipment, but also has airborne troops and air force to help, as for the number, it is really necessary - ten thousand people.

The French are measured by the company's normal business, operation and money-making, but they did not expect that the opponents they encountered did not play cards according to common sense at all, and as long as the opposite side was strong, it didn't matter whether they made money or not.

Contini even thought of an excuse: the tanks and armored vehicles equipped by the oil guard were all produced by United Defense itself, and they were used on a trial basis, and in essence there was no procurement army
