"Actually, I don't have much hope for this war between the east and the west! Especially after the defeat of the Battle of Tunisia and the Battle of Stalingrad, I felt the crisis of our troops even more, and I was very worried that we would be suppressed and beaten by the troops of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries! You will even be beaten to the mainland! ”

Then, without waiting for Captain Paul to respond, Dönitz continued.

"I think so too! Marshal Dönitz! ”

Captain Paul agreed.

"But now I am not so worried, and I now have great faith in our Führer! If we follow him in battle, we will be victorious! ”

"Although I don't know why I have to open an additional front in the Middle East while dealing with the eastern and western fronts!"

Dönitz continued.

Captain Paul did not respond to this, but stood silently aside, silently waiting for the other party's next step.

But Dönitz did not express his opinion again, but smiled slightly with a blazing eye, and then fell into deep thought.

And at this time, at the Rommel command in Rome.

"Marshal! Something big has happened! ”

Shortly after Rommel had finished inspecting the training of his troops, and had entered his operational headquarters in the city, an operational staff officer hurried in, sweating profusely, and shouted loudly.

"Hart! Why all the fuss! What's going on? ”

Seeing this, Rommel also frowned, stared at the emotional combat staff officer in front of him and asked.

"The Führer has sent a telegram!"

Operations Staff Officer Hart shouted nervously and excitedly.

"What if the Führer telegraphed? What exactly did he say? Do you need to be so flustered? ”

After hearing this, Rommel was slightly stunned, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Führer! He said he was coming! And brought a large number of aviation units, ready to assist the marshal in your landing operations in North Africa! ”

Combat Staff Officer Hart said anxiously.

"What! The Führer brought a large group of aviation units? Where is he now? Take me over to the Führer! Fast! ”

Hearing this, Rommel also shouted in shock.

"He and Marshal Kesselring are only now leading the aviation units over our borders and into Italian airspace! There are about 2 hours left to get to Rome airport! ”

Combat Staff Officer Hart replied truthfully.

At this moment, he has gradually calmed down, perhaps because he has told Rommel all the things he is nervous about, so his psychological pressure and excitement are much less.

"Prepare my car, I'm going to get to Rome airport right away! At the same time order my guards, as well as a division of troops for me, to go to the airfield to protect the Führer! The Italian partisans, or some hostile elements with ill intentions, must not be allowed to attack our Führer! ”

As soon as the words fell, Rommel immediately roared loudly.

"Yes! Marshal! ”

Hart, the combat staff officer, also responded in a majestic voice.

Then he hurried to prepare the car for Rommel, and had all the guards follow him.

It wasn't long before Rommel was neatly dressed and in a Type 82 bucket jeep, followed by a large number of military trucks full of guards, and drove quickly towards the Roman airport.

On the car Rommel fell into deep thought, because the person driving the car was his guard captain Ridders.

In his contemplation, he could not help but recall that in the spring of 1941 he had quickly conquered Cyrenaica with the help of German-Italian forces, regained large swaths of Italy's lost colonies, and established defensive lines around Selum and Baierdi.

At that time, he also led more than 260 German tanks and more than 150 Italian tanks to surround Tobruk, but unfortunately no matter how he attacked, he still did not take it.

At that time, the tank types of his tank unit were about 15 Type I, 40 Type II, 150 Type III, and more than 50 Type IV, which means that there is absolutely no advanced tank given to him by Chen Yanlong now, such a good treatment.

Not to mention that this time in the North African counterattack, he also has Cobra helicopters, anti-tank missiles and other advanced weapons and equipment to support the attack.

So the more Rommel thought about it, the more confident and ambitious he became.

"In this North African counterattack, I will definitely achieve the final victory!"

"For the sake of the Führer's attention, and for my honor and the prosperity of my country, I will surely achieve a brilliant victory no matter what the price is!"

At the thought of the most enthusiastic moment, Rommel immediately opened his eyes wide, clenched his fists, made up his mind, and his eyes were blazing.
