"What? Cunningham retreated to El Alamein? Bastard! "Churchill is now on the verge of a complete collapse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His orders had never been so ignored that Cunningham, the commander of the Nile Army Group in North Africa, was now far away, and refused his orders without even thinking about it.

So what more orders do you need? The commanders of these regions are only concerned about their own immediate problems, regardless of the overall situation, how can they command?

"I told him to keep Matru! I'll let him hold Matru! Hold Matru! Matru! He roared loudly, roaring in his office, and the sound could not be blocked by good sound insulation.

The secretaries at the door, listening to this terrifying voice, involuntarily put down their work, looked up from the mountain of documents, and looked in the direction of the prime minister's office.

"My God, what's wrong?" A girl with curly hair looked at the middle-aged female secretary general sitting behind the table in front of her, and asked quietly.

"How do I know? Matroux is lost, and the prime minister is not in a good mood. The middle-aged woman glanced in the direction of the prime minister's door, and replied in a low voice.

Prime Minister Churchill does not seem to be in a good mood lately, because the losses of the British mainland have risen to an unbearable level because of the interception of German submarines.

His Majesty King George VI had approached him several times about the possibility of peace with Germany, and he hoped that Britain would "end the war with dignity".

Although the king is not the main battle faction of the identification, he is also not a master of the identification faction, he has swayed with the situation in the battle, and he has obviously favored the main peace faction more.

Britain is powerless to stop the German armored forces wreaking havoc in Europe, but if Britain is still powerless to stop the German offensive in North Africa, what will Britain be left with?

Speaking of which, although defeat is not dignified, if the war has been fought to the point where it loses more, then what is the need for Britain to hold on?

"Matrou? My God, are the Germans already on the verge of reaching Alexandria? The young female secretary was surprised for a moment, then realized that her voice was a little high, and covered her mouth.

Unlike those civilians, as the secretary of the Prime Minister, they all know the normal knowledge of geography, and of course they also know the most critical points of the current war.

Matroux was one of the most important British strongholds near the Egyptian border, and now it has been captured by the Germans, so is Egypt still the Egypt of the British?

As the war progressed, the British forces in Egypt were stretched to the limit. You know, to the south of Egypt, there is also an Italian army of 200,000 indigenous Ethiopians threatening the border!

Those natives had just taken over the French colony of Somalia and were threatening the barren southern part of Egypt.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of these natives is infinitely close to zero, and it is impossible to enter southern Egypt and be attacked with almost no logistics.

The roads and natural conditions there are not as good as those on the North African side, and whoever attacks is really killing himself.

Unlike the loss of Matrou, Churchill not only lost the opportunity to threaten the German Libyan oil fields in North Africa, but also lost an inspiring victory.

It didn't really matter if Matroux was lost, and even at some point, Churchill would not have considered it a mortal threat.

The point was to lose time in Matruh - at a time when Britain had just lost its ally France, the entire continent of Europe, and was bombed by Germany.

In the course of the bombing, German espionage was very rampant, causing Britain to suffer unprecedented losses.

Churchill, who originally planned to defeat Italy in North Africa to boost the will of his own civilian resistance, was defeated again and again in North Africa, and even Matru was lost!

"I can all guess that today, maybe tomorrow, the planes of the Germans will drop leaflets telling everyone that they have captured West Dubai Nila!" Churchill was in his office, dropping his pen on the floor.

He stared at his generals with the same fierce eyes, and shouted loudly: "If Cunningham is not qualified to be the commander of Army Group Nile, let him surrender his command!" ”

"The 1st Infantry Division of South Africa has landed in Alexandria, and we have stabilized the situation in Egypt." A general explained the troops in North Africa.

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Churchill: "I don't care what troops have arrived!" I want victory in North Africa! It's a counterattack! It's a counterattack! Got it? ”

By this time, Churchill seemed to be a little hysterical, and he could not tolerate being slapped in the face by the German propaganda department again and again, which was not a comfortable thing.

What made him even more desperate was that although the South African 2nd Infantry Division had also been transferred to Egypt, the British forces in North Africa had not actually been strengthened much.

According to reports from the British front-line troops, Rommel had about 200 tanks in North Africa, as well as this number of armored vehicles for cover.

But by this time, the British defenders in Egypt had only been supplied with 40 tanks. What makes people desperate is that the quality of these tanks is completely incomparable with the German tanks.

Rommel's armored forces were mainly Improved 3 and 4 tanks, supported by 40 Stalker tank destroyers.

And what the British units got into their hands was only slightly outdated, and the A9 and A10 cruisers, which were not at all German tank opponents.

These tanks may be more than good against the Italians and German infantry, but it would be impossible for a fool to put them against the German panzers.

Even at this time, the number of British infantry was comparable to the total number of infantry of the German-Italian Afrika Korps. However, they could only wait in El Alamein, and did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.

One is because Rommel is really a difficult character to mess with, and General Cunningham is unwilling to fight him with inferior forces.

On the other hand, it was also because another British ally was begging for valuable support from the British at this time.

This ally is Greece in the Balkans, and Greece feels the deep malice of Italy and Germany, so it is frantically asking for help at this time.

Every day, Churchill received many letters from Greece asking for help, including guns, ammunition, and everything else, which needed the help of the British.

Now, General Canning's Mediterranean Fleet was busy protecting the route between Egypt and the Balkans, maintaining the last line of support from the British Empire to Greece.

But the problem was that Egypt did not have any spare supplies to send to the distant Balkans in the event of a "possible invasion" by Italy and Germany.

Because, at this very moment, Egypt is "being invaded by Germany", which is much more real and stressful than possible.

"It's all telegrams asking me for this and that! Isn't there a piece of good news to tell me in this world? Churchill whipped the telegrams from Greece with his hand and grumbled sullenly.

Remembering what he had been through in the past two months, Churchill felt a deep malice from God that he had lost every war he could.

Churchill was even more aggrieved by the thought of these sad things, and he sat back in his chair, and his dejected appearance made his men a little overwhelmed.

He was in his chair, bowing his head and muttering in a lonely tone: "The spies of the Germans are operating around us, and none of you have caught ......"

"Because of the loss of intelligence, secrets have been leaked, and our navy and air force have suffered heavy losses......" he said, lowering his head.

"We managed to defeat Italy in Africa, but now we have failed again. Wavell and O'Connor have both become prisoners of the enemy! At this point, he was almost silent.

"Tell me!" Suddenly, he looked up and asked his generals, "How can I win such a war?" What can I do to win? ”

"Sir! We destroyed the port of Matroux, the Germans and Italians must have been undersupplied! Just give us another two or three months to prepare, and then we can try to fight back against Matru. One of the generals spoke.

He knew that there was already an Australian tank brigade and a New Zealand tank brigade that had been ordered to reinforce Africa.

So, after getting two tank brigades, plus New Zealand and Australian and even Canadian troops, North Africa will be at least twice as strong in two months.

In this case, he promised to fight back in two months, which was quite assured, provided that these reinforcements were in place and ready for battle.

However, what he did not calculate was that in the past two months, Rommel's power had also strengthened, and the speed of strengthening seemed to be faster than the British had estimated.

Compared with the increase in troops, the increase in logistics and supplies is the real strengthening of Rommel.

With the construction of Libyan oil fields, some of the oil used by the German-Italian forces in North Africa no longer has to be transported from Italy to Africa!

This saves a lot of port throughput and allows soldiers to consume fuel more freely and transport to the front line.

"Two months? Are you crazy? If I could wait two months, what would I still call here? Churchill's spit almost sprayed the general in the face.

"In less than two months, His Majesty will be considering replacing me! When that happens, do you know what will happen? He asked viciously.
