"We're in North Africa, and that's it?" Somewhat unbelieving his eyes, Kesselring looked up and looked at Bowman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Baumann smiled and nodded, he handed over a telegram from Italy, and continued to report to Li Le: "This is a telegram from Italy, sent by Mr. Mussolini himself. ”

Li Le took the telegram and looked at the contents inside: "Mussolini, you said you knew this, why did you bother in the first place? ”

After muttering such a sentence, Li Le spread out the telegram in his hand on the table, and said to Kesselring and Goering: "We rescued more than 60,000 Italian prisoners, Mussolini wrote a letter of thanks. ”

He pressed his hand to the message and continued: "It's not enough just a thank you letter......

After speaking, he looked at Bowman on the side and commanded: "Bowman! Tell Ribbentrop to ask him to find Mussolini and let him guarantee the transport of the 15th and 21st Panzer Divisions as soon as possible! Don't slack off! ”

Then he looked at Goering on this side: "Marshal Goering! My marshal! Rommel needs the support of your powerful air force! Mobilize 100 Stuka and 100 ME-109E fighters to North Africa as soon as possible! ”

"I'll carry out your orders when I get back! Be of good cheer, my Führer! "Because he has his own industry in North Africa, Göring is still very concerned about this kind of thing.

Moreover, Rommel's performance exceeded his expectations, and he saw another benefit and a light - the German army had entered Egypt by this time!

If the Germans occupied Egypt, would this place full of treasures, mysterious and geographically important also become part of his Goering's private property?

Nowadays, as the Marshal of the Reich, Goering's most important thing is nothing more than to build the Reich Air Force, and the second thing he devotes himself to is to accumulate his wealth.

"Find a way to send a Waffen-SS light infantry division that has just been formed to Africa as well!" Li Le looked at Bowman and gave the second order.

He was supposed to give Rommel three divisions, but now that the situation is very good, he intends to add some more bargaining chips to his henchmen.

So, having already decided on the transport of an Wehrmacht infantry division, he ordered another Waffen-SS division to be sent to Africa.

Then the Führer stood up with a smile and walked to the door of the conference room: "Hehe, since Rommel has won, it is time to pay the bet between me and Marshal Brauchitsch. ”

At this moment, he was in a good mood, with a warm smile on his face, giving the people around him the illusion that he was very amiable.

Baumann was aware of the bet between the Führer and Marshal Brauchitsch at dinner that day. So seeing Li Le's harmless smile, he shivered all over his body.

On a whim during dinner that day, the Führer had the idea of reinforcing a mechanized infantry division to the Afrika Korps and sending it to North Africa to fight for Egypt.

Marshal Brauchitsch did not approve of this idea, however, and considered it a thankless task to send the main force to distant North Africa at the expense of the people and money.

On the grounds that he was actively preparing for the Eastern Front, he rejected Li Le's request to send troops to North Africa.

Because it was at the dinner table, Li Le did not discuss the importance of North Africa with him in depth. He simply asked Brauchitsch what the army would do if Rommel won and needed troops to invade Egypt.

"If Rommel can really push the line back to the Egyptian border, I will agree to give him another infantry division." Brauchitsch replied.

Li Le laughed, as if he was a hunter digging traps for his prey, and asked again: "So, my marshal...... What if Rommel entered Egypt? ”

At the time of this light meal, the Italian 10th Army was on the verge of annihilation, and anyone who was not a fool on the battlefield could see that Italy's defeat was a foregone conclusion, and it could not be rewritten at all.

So Brauchitsch thought about it, and with the idea that he must support Italy, he promised: "If Rommel really returns to Egypt, I will give him a reward of a general, and give him another mechanized infantry division!" ”

"Excellent! My marshal! Very good! Li Le was dealing with the unpalatable vegetables and potatoes while smiling and pushing his field marshal into the trap: "A word is a certainty!" ”

At that time, Brauchitsch thought that he had rejected the Führer's request, and when he went out, he smiled politely at Baumann...... Now it was Bauman's turn to smile, and he seemed to see Brauchitsch's crying and laughing face.

"That's it...... Rommel has 5 German divisions in his hands, so there should be no problem in winning the battle of El Alamein. Li Le walked out of the conference room with his hands behind his back and muttered to himself.

Goering and Kesselring are still sitting in the conference room, you look at me, I see you don't know what to say.

"Rommel really won in North Africa...... Unthinkable, unthinkable! Kesselring spoke first, a half-complimented exclaim.

Goering nodded his head: "Yes! Unexpectedly...... We all turned the tables and won! ”

"What!" In London, inside Churchill's prime minister's office, the famous fat man almost jumped out of his chair.

His fat palm slammed against the solid wood desk with a loud thud. The pen on the table jumped up and tumbled to the floor.

"Say it again!" The expression on his face was already distorted, and he used a hideous face to face the subordinates who came to deliver the news.

Before the other party could speak, he shouted loudly, "What do you mean to be captured? What do you mean that we have completely lost the North African battlefield? ”

A few days earlier, he had also received a report from General Wavell that his army had defeated the Italian army and had counterattacked into Libya.

Moreover, the British army, which successfully counterattacked, captured at least 70,000 Italian soldiers, and gave birth to the famous saying in advance: "A few acres of soldiers are captured, and an acre of officers are captured."

Such a huge victory was naturally good news to boost the morale of the British native resistance. So at Churchill's behest, British newspapers reported on this unprecedented victory for several days.

Until this morning, he was able to write newspaper reports about the North African victory, including a whole host of fabricated details.

Because it controls all the media and controls the mouthpiece, some details that do not exist at all are also fabricated by the omnipotent media in order to cheer people.

Including the story of a dozen British soldiers who bravely stormed the headquarters of the Italians, killing a division commander and several regimental commanders.

These days, Churchill likes nothing more than to read the news, and he likes to talk about North Africa with others, like a terminally ill man who is about to die, and likes to talk about the estate he has just bought.

Churchill, who had grasped the straw, even gave a speech three days ago entitled "Fight the enemy like a British soldier in Africa".

Unfortunately, a few minutes after he finished his speech, he received a telegram with news of the withdrawal of the North African troops.

Although the telegram was very euphemistic, it still made Churchill furious. Because Admiral Wavell had confidently assured him that it would not be a problem to capture Baildi.

When Wavell retreated to Bairdy, a grand celebration was still being prepared in Britain - to celebrate the capture of the enemy's city for the first time since the beginning of the war.

All of this has now become a taboo that Churchill cannot mention, because just a day earlier, on August 29, it had been announced on the Italian radio that the siege of Baierdi had been lifted.

Yesterday afternoon, Admiral Wavell was still assuring that he would be able to hold several important strongholds in front of Matroux before the German troops entered Egypt.

To Churchill's chagrin, the very night before the arrival was assured, the West Dubai Nila had been surrendered to the Germans by the retreating British troops.

Today, the guilty Admiral Wavell sent his last telegram, explaining that he was in a very passive position, and that he had been surrounded by German troops near the village of Tevarise.

He then learned from General Cannanning, who had already led the fleet to retreat to Alexandria, that Admiral Wavell had been captured by the Germans.

"He should kill himself! He should be held accountable for what he did! Churchill, whose lips were trembling with anger, took a long time before he vented fiercely.

Then he felt that he did not understand the hatred, and immediately added: "And the O'Connor who surrendered!" He should also use his life to serve his homeland! ”

In his heart, he thought that these generals were greedy for life and afraid of death, which led to this fiasco in North Africa......

"General Canning has called and asked if we should give up the Matroux ......," said the officer who had come to deliver the news, cautiously.

"Of course you can't give up! So much supplies! And the 6th Australian Infantry Division, which has just been half transported! Can you just give up? Churchill didn't speak, and several army generals around him had already shouted out.

"The problem now is that we have to hide this defeat! Let the people not waver in their determination to resist! Churchill spoke weakly, and spoke his thoughts.

What he had to worry about now had changed from a possible landing for the Germans to how to hold his position so that the war he insisted on could continue.

After all, Britain is not monolithic now, and there are many politicians who propose to surrender and sue for peace. And as the battle situation becomes more and more unfavorable, this kind of voice becomes more and more numerous.

As internal scrutiny of German spies became increasingly unpopular, so did voices questioning Churchill's abilities.

Therefore, what Churchill is most worried about is whether his successor, who changes his course, will really seek peace with the Germans once he falls.
