It was in the early hours of that day that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States.

The reason why Rommel received the news in the evening was because Hitler was furious when he heard the news and frightened everyone around him. Therefore, no one dared to issue this order without receiving Hitler's order.

It is understandable that Hitler would be so angry, believing that Germany could conquer Europe, defeat the Soviet Union, and finally even get the arrogant Britain to bow its proud head, but only if the United States could not enter the war.

Therefore, Hitler has always been very careful, he ordered German submarines not to attack the American fleet in the Atlantic, even if the United States continues to support Britain, that is, to transport a large number of supplies and equipment to Britain, he can pretend not to see, and even the United States used aircraft carriers to help Britain transport fighters, affecting the entire North African war situation, Hitler is complaining.

However, while Germany endured humiliation and exercised restraint in its efforts to prevent the United States from entering the war, Japan suddenly attacked the United States without communicating with Germany, giving it an excuse to enter the war.

"Stupid, rice bucket, traitor!" Hitler roared in his office, using up every word he could think of.

But reality is reality, and Hitler could not change it.

At half past eight that night, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered a speech at the White House: "American citizens, I swear to you: My colleagues and I will do our best to return the humiliation imposed on the country." God bless America! ”

Then the United States officially announced its entry into the war, and it was at this time that Rommel received the news that he was confirmed.

Rommel was stunned for a while before he said to Qin Chuan: "Then, second lieutenant, tell me what you think!" ”

"Although I don't want to say that......" Qin Chuan said: "But general, with the entry of the United States into the war, the possibility of our victory in North Africa is very small, because the British will get more and more advanced equipment, including warplanes, warships, etc., and even the American army!" ”

"I'm listening!" Rommel said that these were indeed not what he liked to hear, but he had to admit that Qin Chuan was right.

"The Americans have a large number of fighters, bombers and transport aircraft with excellent performance!

Qin Chuan continued: "So they are fully capable of airborne in our rear, and the British, with the support of the United States, of course, also have the ability to land in the Algerian area, and then we will be attacked by the enemy on both sides!" And with our troops, equipment and supplies, it is simply not enough to open up two fronts......"

"I know all of this, second lieutenant!" Rommel interrupted Qin Chuan's words with some irritability: "Are we going to leave like this?" Silently return all the land you have laid down to the British? Just because the Americans went to war? ”

"No, General!" Qin Chuan replied: "Of course we didn't leave like this!" ”

"Do you have a way?" Rommel's eyes were full of suspicion.

"I can't hold on to these lands!" Qin Chuan replied: "But we can make it equally unavailable to the British, or not easily obtained!" ”

"What did you say?" Rommel was a little puzzled: "If we withdraw, of course they will be British!" ”

"General!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "Do you remember the National Liberation Front in Greece? ”

"Those guerrillas?"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan said: "We can completely return Crete to the Greeks and support their independence, and we can even equip them with factories that produce weapons......

Rommel couldn't help but sit up from his chair and said, "And the British will definitely take back these factories, equipment and land from them!" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "To be precise, the British will support the return of the Greek king to the country for their benefit to continue to lead the government army to control Greece." The question is...... The Greek partisans thought that they had liberated Greece, so how could they willingly return power to the king, who had fled to England and had done nothing? ”

"And this king was not favored by the Greek people in the first place!" Rommel added.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan continued: "In this way, a contradiction arises, the war between us and the British plus the Greek guerrillas has become a war between the British and the Greek guerrillas!" You know, we don't have enough troops, why borrow someone else's strength to help us fight the British? All we need to do is sacrifice some gear and supplies! ”

"Good!" Rommel nodded and said, "In the same way, we can do this in Egypt, Libya and even Tunisia and Algeria, right?" ”

"Yes!" Qin Chuan replied: "General Shreif in Egypt, the Italian colonial army in Libya, and the French colonial army in Algeria and Tunisia...... If we give them freedom and support their independence, will they still fight for the British, for the French? ”

"That's right!" Rommel replied: "Not only will they not fight for the British, the French, but they will fight for us on our side!" ”

"And willingly!"

"Yes, willingly, with morale and courage!" Rommel said: "Because they are fighting for the independence and freedom of their country, they will be as brave as the Greek militia!" What a great idea, Ensign......"

But then Rommel hesitated again.

"What's wrong, General?" Qin Chuan asked.

"The Führer will not agree!" Rommel.

Rommel was right, at this time, Hitler was very successful in all directions, so he had an inexplicable arrogance, and all he wanted was to destroy all the obstacles in front of him and conquer and control all the territories.

"We don't need the Führer's promise!" Qin Chuan said: "Like I said before, we only need to make these preparations, and then, when the British attack, we can retreat step by step!" ”

Rommel nodded, then turned his gaze to Algeria and said, "That's the goal of our retreat!" ”

Qin Chuan nodded, then looked at Rommel and smiled.

The target, of course, is Algeria, but of course Morocco and Tunisia.

Morocco controls the Strait of Gibraltar, which is only 13 kilometers at its narrowest point, and can be blocked by long-range artillery.

Tunisia is the node that continues to connect with Italy and the gateway to Algeria.

Algeria can be used as a hinterland and a major source of troops, where tens of thousands of French colonial troops are deployed.

However, they may not belong to France in the near future, and certainly cannot fight Germany under French command, as history has done.
