In fact, these things were done by the British and French in history...... They promised the colonies that they would give them independence and freedom after the victory over Germany, for example, France controlled the Algerian colonial army, the Zoaf Corps, to fight the German army.

It's just that the French shamelessly broke their promise after the war, not only did they not let Algeria become independent, but in order to restore the French economy and its status as a great power, they also turned Bengali into the exploitation of Algerians, so there was an eight-year Algerian War of Independence.

In fact, these contradictions have always existed, and the relationship between the colonizers and the colonized is that of oppression and oppression, so of course there will be resistance from the colonized, and even between Italy and Libya.

Germany's advantage is that it is neither a colonizer nor a colonized, it only participated in the war as an ally of Italy, and it can even be said that the German army has a pretty good reputation here...... As mentioned before, the Germans encouraged agricultural production, maintained law and order, helped with irrigation, and so on.

This allowed the German army to accumulate a certain degree of credibility on the land of North Africa, but the British and French have been oppressing and exploiting Africans on this land, leaving a very bad impression on Africans.

Of course, Italy has no less notoriety in Libya...... No colonizer would be popular with the locals.

Historically, Germany could have taken advantage of this, but most Germans did not play politics, and they thought more about conquest and war, just as they were more accustomed to working hard than doing business to make money.

Rommel accepted Qin Chuan's suggestion in its entirety, and the preparations soon began.

The first to bear the brunt is Egypt.

Egypt is the easiest one to deal with, because it was originally a British colony, and the Egyptian people have long been dissatisfied with British rule and oppression, but because of the invasion of German and Italian armies, these contradictions have been temporarily put aside.

Rommel immediately approached General Shreif, the commander of the Egyptian guerrillas who had been in contact with the Germans, and expressed his support for Egyptian independence, provided equipment for the Egyptian guerrillas, and returned Egyptian territory to the guerrillas in a systematic manner...... Although Germany had also provided equipment for the Egyptian guerrillas before that, they were all wary because Germany also wanted to occupy and rule Egypt, so it did not want Egypt to sit on the throne.

But now......

Germany was about to retreat anyway, and the stronger the Egyptian partisans, the better, because it meant more trouble for the British.

This was a big pie in the world for General Shreif, and of course he would not refuse, so he accepted Rommel's proposal without hesitation.

It is not difficult on the Greek side, to be exact, only in Crete.

Because Colonel Dennis had contact with Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan was in charge of negotiations on Crete.

"What are you doing here?" Colonel Dennis said to Qin Chuan with some dissatisfaction: "Have you forgotten that our relationship can't be exposed?" They will wonder if I have anything to do with the Germans! ”

"Then let them be suspicious!" Qin Chuan said.

Colonel Dennis couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "Ensign, this is your method, right?" Threaten me with this secret? ”

"No, Colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "As I said before, Germany and Greece are not enemies, and we intend to return Crete to the Greeks. ”

"What?" Colonel Dennis couldn't believe what he heard.

"You heard it right!" Qin Chuan said: "Of course, it is gradual, and for the time being, it is limited to Crete, and there are even factories on Crete. How? Not interested? Then maybe I can consider talking to the government army! ”

"No, no, second lieutenant!" Colonel Dennis hurriedly got up and said, "Of course we're interested, but ...... What's in it for Germany? ”

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, we fought with the Soviets on the Eastern Front and the British in Africa, so we wouldn't be interested in Greece, and if it wasn't for the British, we wouldn't even occupy Crete!" ”

Colonel Dennis stared at Qin Chuan stunned, and after a long while, he said, "Okay, I always thought it was a lie to deceive us, but now ......"

"Now you believe it's true?"

"No, until the moment you give us back Crete!" Colonel Dennis said, "I hope you will keep your promise!" ”

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied, "If necessary...... You can go to Alexandria and talk to General Rommel! ”

"No!" Colonel Dennis thought about it, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who you talk to, what matters is what you will do next!" ”

"We want you to be independent and build a country that is truly your own!" Qin Chuan said: "This is also what you want, isn't it?" ”

Colonel Dennis nodded slowly, he still couldn't believe it all.

But what happened next could not help but he did not believe it, because soon after the German army released a group of prisoners of the National Liberation Front, of course, the prisoners of the Greek government army were still held.

At the same time, the Germans also handed over some of the machinery to Colonel Dennis, and even circled several large villages as bases for the National Liberation Front.

This caused a sensation throughout Crete, and coupled with the propaganda of the National Liberation Front, Crete and even the Greek people got a message: "The Germans, unlike the Italians, have no intention of being enemies of Greece!" ”

The most difficult, on the contrary, were the Italian colony of Libya, because they were the "property" of Italy, and the Germans had no right to decide.

And the movements of the German army on Crete soon spread from the Italians to Mussolini, and from Mussolini to Hitler.

So Hitler sent a telegram to Rommel and asked: "My general, I am glad that you have once again defeated the British attack in North Africa, and I am confident that you will take care of all the affairs of Africa." The Italians, however, are a little unhappy with what you are doing on Crete, and they think that you are helping their enemies, can you explain that? ”

In this regard, Rommel had already thought of his words: "Honorable Führer, we have reached some kind of agreement with the Greeks and Egyptians, and they may well be on our side against the British, so I do not consider them enemies!" ”

Hitler looked at Rommel's telegram and couldn't help but nod his head.

Hitler was well aware that Germany needed allies rather than enemies in the event of American involvement in the war, so there was no doubt that Rommel was right.
