"Send a telegram, we lost."

In North Africa, in Wavell's command, he, the general who led most of the main African part of the Commonwealth army, finally reluctantly accepted defeat.

After the tactical failure of the three-pronged unified attack, Wavell immediately struck all the elite troops, focusing on the Kappcuo Trail, and also captured nearby Musse, which was a great detour to the rear of the German army in Halfayya.

However, at the critical moment, Rommel ordered the 15th Panzer Division to attack the flank of Kapcuo, and met the British 7th Panzer Division sent by Wavell as a killer at Sidioma.

After a fierce tank fight, the British 7th Panzer Division was surprised to find that their new Crusader patrol tanks not only failed to defeat the German tanks, but also continued to break down, and there was no way to fight a tank battle with the Germans.

Wavell shook his head a little helplessly and said: "We encountered a flank attack by the German army on the front line of Kapcuo, although I sent a roundabout reserve to reluctantly fight back for a while, fighting out a large number of German tanks, but the front-line commander of the front line himself was in a mess and was pushed back by the German counterattack. ”

Looking at his adjutant, he clenched his fists, and then let go of his hand and said with relief: "The attack failed, and my road to marshal is over." The struggle for the rights and interests of the British Empire in Africa also ended. Report to London so that the Prime Minister can find out about the situation here and look for an opportunity to bring North African troops back home. ”

Wavell has completely lost hope for the situation in North Africa. After this vigorous and defeated "Tomahawk Operation", Wavell found that the British army could not defeat the German army in terms of combat quality, equipment, and level of cooperation, which were generally higher than those of the British army.

And the coalition forces of the British Commonwealth, in the face of the coalition forces of the Central Powers, are generally inferior to the combat strength of the other side.

The German 15th Panzer Division had now launched a counterattack into the Halfaya Valley, so that Rommel's elbow bending tactics were almost complete. Even if most of Wavell's generals tried to struggle, the result was doomed.

Before the start of the war, Wavell's subordinates were all full of confidence, believing that the Allied-controlled areas in North Africa were captured and that the battle would be won.

There is only one person, that is, Montgomery who parachuted into Cairo with London, as long as he soberly points out that the victories in front of the Commonwealth army are all small-scale low-level victories, and cannot be used as a reference to measure the development of the war situation.

However, at that time, no one gave Montgomery a good look, and almost everyone rolled their eyes at the "disobedient" general, and Wavell was also very disdainful of using the remaining mission to send Montgomery away and gag the other party's mouth.

Wavell never imagined that the mouth he blocked could have been a mouth that could have pointed him out a way to live!

"It seems that General Montgomery, who stayed in Egypt, was right. He had guessed long before the start of the battle that we were likely to be in trouble because of the weakness of the flanks. As a result, we are now in the vicinity of Kapso under Rommel's flank. ”

Although dissatisfied, although unwilling, Wavell had to admit that Montgomery, who had opposed him before, was right.

"Commander!" Seeing that Wavell was showing fatigue, his adjutant and a cadre of military staff officers in the headquarters opened their mouths and said, "We haven't failed yet. Although the main force of our army was frantically suppressed by the enemy at Kapcuo, our troops from the other two roads can still pull away and return to aid Kapcuo! ”

These people had mocked Montgomery and clamored for the unification of North Africa. After all, all of us are generals who have graduated from military academies, and we can all have a certain understanding and analysis of the situation in Africa.

First of all, it is definitely impossible for the local side to send more reinforcements to support the African battlefield. As for the rest of the Commonwealth, not to mention the increase in troops in Africa to help Britain tide over the difficulties, on the contrary, most of the Commonwealth troops, including the Australian troops, are now considering how to withdraw and withdraw the troops they only sent to their own countries.

Britain used to be a super "giant ship" that crisscrossed the oceans and was invincible at sea, but now, Britain has become a broken ship that has fallen into disrepair and is crumbling and sinking.

No one would be so stupid as to come and die together when there was no glimmer of hope in Great Britain. The British could not even keep their own homeland now, and on what basis should they be instructed to ask the rest of the Commonwealth to contribute to the British war? Hurry up and keep your own homeland first is the real point.

Therefore, the troops under Wavell's command are not only not likely to increase in the slightest, but are likely to be greatly reduced in the near future.

After all, the composition of the coalition forces of the British camp was also complicated.

South Africa and India were colonies, and when they became soldiers, they were British troops, and they directly entered the British army. To these troops, the British, naturally, could declare that "Great Britain will not surrender until the Indians have shed their last drop of blood." "It's just their cannon fodder anyway.

Then, the troops recruited by the British Isles were the main force of the main force, the elite of the elite, the most orthodox British army.

As for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, they are all Dominions. The country has its own army and nominal allegiance to the British crown, and Britain's enemies are their enemies, but their heads of government nominally respect the British king as Churchill, but their leaders do not have to obey Churchill and are equal to Churchill.

To use the most vivid analogy, the British king is like the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty in ancient China, Churchill is like Cao Cao in the later period, and the Dominion is like the territory of Sun Quan, Liu Bei and others.

These Dominions may fight for the royal family, but they also have their own selfish and selfish interests, and they don't necessarily have to go down the dark side with you.
