El Alamein's position, sweat slowly flowing down the skin of the person, occasionally flowing into the eyes, you can clearly feel the hot stinging sensation. Fastest updates
A blonde-haired Englishman expertly wiped the sweat around his eyes with a towel to prevent the sweat from interfering with his vision at work. As far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by barren land.
But at the moment he didn't have the heart to see the scenery, and the above was in a hurry to deal with this fortification, and they hadn't been anywhere else since they got here.
"Damn, what the hell is this place, I'm almost roasted and melted when it's hot." He wiped his sweat and complained.
"Hey, you can be content, at least this place is safe, you don't have to carry a gun to kill the enemy." A tall and thin man named Henry next to him said that Henry was also transferred from the original team and was transferred from the front line to come here.
Although he seems to be a gloomy and reticent person, Henry is actually a humorous and a bit timid, he will always make some innocuous jokes to make everyone laugh, and also make the boring road a little more interesting, everyone likes this guy.
However, the man before was very unimpressed with what Henry had just said. He shouted: "If the Germans dare to come, we will take the guns and drive them away!" β
In this vicious battle to capture the fortress of the Battle of Tobruk, although the Allied African coalition forces suffered huge losses in soldiers, materials, and equipment, most of these losses were French and Italian troops with a large troop base, rather than the precious and rare German troops in Rommel's hands.
On the other hand, the large number of strategic supplies seized by the garrisons of the Commonwealth forts could be relieved, and the Roman authorities also gave good assurances to Belante that they would find ways to transport the appropriate quantities of supplies to the African theater for the French army as soon as they captured Tobruk.
It wasn't just Rossi, who was working for Germany, who had a big picture, but also contributed to the French army, which was also an ally of the same position. The reason why Rossi did this was actually a kind of reward for Belant's arrangement for the British to surrender to the Italian army for a second time.
Someone else BΓ©ronte has already become the new marshal of France, and the favor given by the French marshal should still be repaid.
The current coalition of African allies can be described as unusually united.
The French and Italian governments have become increasingly convinced that they have the golden keys to open the gates of Cairo.
If Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is captured, British rule in the Middle East will fall like dominoes. In this way, Syria, Iraq, and Iran will be included in the Allied bloc, Turkey will be forced to take the side of the Allies, and the central part of the Soviet Union will be directly exposed to the Allied forces.
The high morale of the North African Troika, the frustration and panic of the defeated Commonwealth army, and the rich strategic reserves captured by Tobruk all gave the French and Italian military a new appetite.
You know, the legacy of the British Empire is definitely a good thing to look at.
The legacy of the empire on which the sun never sets cannot be swallowed by any one country alone. Germany, which was at war with the Soviet Union, was bound to share a large amount of benefits seized from the British Empire to its allies, so that it could attract all countries to further support Germany in continuing the war now, and then compete together for more spoils!
It's a virtuous circle!
In the next step, Rommel and Bironte, two famous generals from different countries, pointed out with precise and unique vision that the next strategic goal of the African coalition is to fight the final decisive battle in the El Alamein region and join the army in the British Commonwealth.
This decisive battle will determine the final fate of the Allied and Commonwealth coalition forces!
In Rommel's German headquarters, Berlunte, who had just received his marshal's command, came to Rommel very comfortably to discuss the next stage of the plan.
Similar to the Marshal's Scepter in Germany, the French Marshal was slightly longer and larger in diameter, made of gold and velvet, with a blue Venus in the center.
Looking at Belonte, who was walking with a scepter and a high-spirited face, Rommel suddenly felt an inexplicable envy.
In the battle of the fortress of Tobruk, the other party got the symbol and honor belonging to the French marshal, but when will he Rommel get his own scepter, with the eagle mark and the iron cross......
However, without waiting for Rommel to sigh for too long, Belant, who had come to him to discuss the battle plan, began to talk about business through an interpreter.
"Commander Rommel, I told Admiral Garibaldi of the Italian army that a decisive battle was expected at El Alamein." "General Garibaldi is very supportive of this decision, and has told me that he will ask Rome to send one or two more divisions of troops to win the most crucial battle," said Belante, smiling. β
And send Italian soldiers to Africa? Rommel couldn't stop laughing when he heard this.
How he wished that it was the German troops and not the Italian soldiers who were responsible for rejoicing to be sent to Africa. Not to mention one or two divisions, even if only one German infantry regiment was sent, Rommel would be happier than getting an Italian infantry division.
It's a pity that Reinhardt obviously has sufficient strategic reserves in the country, but he is only allowed to use them on the Eastern Front. Although Rommel understood this, he still felt sorry. If he could get 2 more German divisions, he could even pull the French army of Belonte without the Italian allies, and completely drive the British army out of North Africa and even the entire Middle East.
"No matter how many Italian troops are transferred, it will only be for the British to build a few more prisoner of war camps." With a bit of praise, Rommel jokingly said: "If it is Marshal Belant's troops that are strengthened, I think we will win the next battle more easily." β
"Hahaha......" Belante laughed unabashedly when he heard the praise: "I heard that Commander-in-Chief Rommel doesn't often praise people, and it seems that I should be honored." β
"You are worthy of the title of Marshal of France." Rommel nodded politely, and vaguely enviously mentioned the title of marshal that Belant had won in Tobruk.
"Actually, if you come to command the Battle of Brutok, I believe you can also win this victory." Similar to commercial blowing, Berlunte also raised Rommel Dow.
A few seconds later, as if beholding something, Bronte suddenly mentioned to Rommel:
"By the way, I heard a British news broadcast in our country today, saying that a British general named Montgomery has taken over the command of the 8th Army in Wavell's hands. He will be your nemesis, they say. β
