Chapter 1346: Fulfillment
This was followed by the bombing of Bremen, Germany's main production site for tires and sealing elements, and millions of tons of rubber and synthetic plastics were burned.
Because of the destruction of these two important bases, the arsenal was unable to build new planes, tanks, artillery and even trucks due to the lack of ball bearings and tires and sealing elements.
The German army, which once boasted of mechanized blitzkrieg, had its feet cut off, and it was impossible for mechanized troops to use mules and horses to ensure logistics, and the momentum of the German attack on the Soviet Union fell into passivity.
The angry Hitler vowed to take revenge, especially when he heard that the British army had transferred the East India Fleet to the Pacific Theater and transferred three divisions from Egypt, he suddenly felt that the time had come, anyway, the Soviet Union was already a mess of mud, and it was only a matter of time before it perished, so it was better to take this opportunity to clean up the hateful British.
Therefore, Hitler ordered the 25th Army formed in France to join the Afrika Korps fighting in Tunisia and Libya to form the African Army Group, with Marshal Bock as the commander of the army group and Admiral Rommel as the front-line commander, with 300,000 troops from two army groups and more than 200,000 troops from Italy, a total of more than 500,000 troops.
Because the British did not expect that the German army would suddenly return to the carbine when the logistics had suffered heavy losses and the strategic center of gravity had begun to shift to the Soviet Union, they did not replenish it in time after transferring the East India Fleet and three army divisions, and by the time they found that the German army was rolling in the torrent of steel, everything was already too late, and the British army could only watch the German army occupy El Alamein and drink Masuez.
Located in Egypt, the Suez Canal is the main international shipping route connecting Europe, Asia and Africa, connecting the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, connecting the Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Oceans, and greatly shortening the voyage between the East and the West.
Compared with the detour of the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, it is shortened by 5,500-8,009 kilometers from the countries bordering the Atlantic coast of Europe to the Indian Ocean, and 8,000-10,000 kilometers from the Mediterranean countries to the Indian Ocean; For the Black Sea coast, it is shortened by 12,000 kilometers, it is an international shipping route of great strategic importance in international shipping, and it is also the main channel for the flow of materials throughout Asia and Africa.
After all, the industrial construction of China and Myanmar has made great leaps in recent years, and fuel oil can be supplied because of the Ren'anqiang Oilfield and the Cauliflower Oilfield, so there is basically no big problem with self-protection, but the current Soviet Union is not good.
The main mineral resources and oil fields of the Soviet Union are in Siberia, but now Siberia has fallen into the hands of the Axis powers, and the Soviet Union's logistical supplies mainly come from the aid of rice and Britain, once the Suez Canal is occupied by the Axis powers, it means that their logistics channels are completely blocked, and the Soviet Union will face the current situation alone, with the current strength of the Soviet Union, it is impossible to block the attack of the German-Japanese coalition forces, and it is only a matter of time before it is destroyed.
Command of the aircraft carrier Nakayama.
Although Singapore's victory was in sight, because of this earth-shattering news, it brought a heavy layer of clouds to everyone, and there was no trace of joy in the headquarters.
Everyone knows that this is a battle that will change the situation of the international war, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of the Axis powers, and the next war of resistance of the Allies will become more and more difficult.
Just when everyone was discussing the current international situation worriedly, the Supreme Commander Jiang Haoran stood alone at the window, clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at the magnificent sea outside the window as if he was thinking far away, and inadvertently, the corners of his mouth actually showed a rather playful smile.
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Haoran was startled, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Long's extremely seductive face.
"Oh...... Didn't think anything? Jiang Haoran covered up in a panic.
Lin Long was staring at him with a pair of beautiful and curious eyes, obviously not believing what Jiang Haoran said, and after a few seconds, he suddenly said in shock: "Actually, you already knew that the German army would blitz El Alamein, didn't you?" ”
Jiang Haoran's expression froze, he glanced back nervously, subconsciously touched his nose, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, I am not an immortal, how could I know that the German army would blitz El Alamein?" ”
The corners of Lin Long's mouth suddenly showed a subtle smile, Jiang Haoran would touch his nose when he was weak, there were not many people who knew this secret, and he was suddenly a little sure in his heart, "Still quibbling?" Do you dare to say that you did not transfer the East India Fleet and all three British divisions to the Eastern Front in order to cope with today's situation? ”
Jiang Haoran was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic drifted through his eyes, but he said stiffly in his mouth: "What nonsense, what can be the connection between the two?" I mobilized the British troops solely for the sake of ......".
It was about because the manuscript was not ready, Jiang Haoran suddenly paused, but Lin Long smiled, "Edit, continue to edit?" ”
Jiang Haoran seemed a little helpless, spread his hands, and said, "Okay, can you tell me what is the connection between the two?" ”
Lin Long showed a sly smile on his face, and said: "You are afraid that the Allied Command will regret and transfer the British army back to support El Alamein, although this will make the Allied Command miss the order of the day, but due to the tension of the war, you can't help but agree, so before this, you transferred all of them to the Eastern Front, even if the Allied Command has the idea of transferring them back now, I'm afraid it will be useless, because the far water can't save the near fire, and I'm afraid it will take ten days to close the three divisions of the British Army, plus a voyage of thousands of nautical miles, They won't be able to reach for a month, and by that time, the battle will be over long ago. ”
Jiang Haoran looked at Lin Long with a smile, as if he was thinking about how to answer Lin Long, but Yang Honglie hurriedly came over with a telegram at this time to report, just received a telegram from the Allied Command, the Soviet army mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops last night, with a large number of tank divisions as the vanguard, and attacked the Italian army west of Stalingrad.
"That's what you gave the Soviets? You also say that you didn't already know that there would be a disaster for El Alamein? Lin Long immediately shouted.
When the matter came to this, Jiang Haoran couldn't admit it, so he had to say frankly: "Okay, to tell you the truth, as early as when the East India Fleet appeared in the Indian Ocean, I knew that there would be today's disaster, and these British troops under my command were also deliberately transferred by me, so to speak, I deliberately fulfilled the German army." ”
