[Thanks to BS Thief Drop, youfimiya, two book friends, the North African chapter on Montgomery is a bit confusing, and it has been revised tonight.] 】

In this way, the Germans opened the way for launching a full-scale assault on the city of Cairo. After this fight, Montgomery only had 30 tanks left, while Li Mo still had a powerful attack force of 600 tanks. Montgomery was utterly disappointed, and in a letter to his wife, he wrote: "The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to us, and the enemy is crushing our positions step by step with great force.

On February 14, 1941, the Germans advanced 8 kilometers in depth at an unprecedented speed, taking control of the entire outer area of Cairo, and it was imminent that the encirclement of the British army would be completed. The hesitant Montgomery could no longer heed Churchill's orders and finally made up his mind to retreat.

In order to conceal this retreat as much as possible, Montgomery did not dare to mention it in the telegram he sent to Churchill at the time. After receiving the order to retreat, the British officers and soldiers, who had long wanted to flee for their lives, rushed into various transport vehicles and fled north. On February 16, heavy rain fell and the roads were muddy, and a large number of German tanks and armored vehicles suddenly fell into the quagmire.

Seeing this, Montgomery ordered the British to throw away their weapons and equipment, and they were able to escape lightly. On February 17, Li Mo ordered the pursuit to be stopped. At this point, the outskirts of Cairo ended with the final victory of the German army.

When the news reached Germany, the whole country rejoiced. Führer Hitler was proud that he had chosen Limer to command the North African Corps. He ordered church bells to be rung throughout Germany, so that all Germans would remember this great day.

Li Mo was preparing to start an offensive against the British coalition forces. When the Suez Canal was completely occupied, he suddenly received an order from Hitler, ordering Li Mo to immediately leave for the Soviet front and immediately begin to formulate a strategic plan for attacking the Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union had already deployed 3 million troops in the German border area, and the straight-line distance from the German border to Berlin was only more than 200 kilometers, and even if Germany did not want to attack the Soviet Union at this time, it would be impossible for "others to snore on the side of the couch."

The "Barbarossa" strategic plan, Li Mo personally handed over to Hitler on March 1, 1941, and this plan is now Li Mo. Keitel and Hitler knew about it. Of course, after Hitler got the plan, he would have discussed it with several marshals, but no more than ten people knew about it.

Attacking the Soviet Union was also Hitler's wish, so Hitler asked Limmer to draw up this plan. Hitler's focus now was on demonstrating the feasibility of the implementation of the "Barbarossa" plan. Hitler believed that Limer was invincible so many times. It would not come up with an idiot's strategic plan, which was a gamble with the fortunes of Germany, because Limmer demanded that Hitler mobilize 4.5 million elite German troops. And a million trucks, a million logistics troops.

It can be said that more than 80 percent of Germany's troops have been emptied, and Germany now has 5.5 million troops and 3 million reserves. Limer's plan used 4.5 million elite German regular troops, and Germany's remaining troops still needed to guard against the British landing in France, and left 500,000 German troops in France, more than 300,000 in North Africa, and Germany's own defense also needed a large number of troops, in addition to Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic, and Poland, and Germany also needed people, and Germany's remaining 1 million troops were completely insufficient, so it could only use reserves.

Of course, all the countries of the European Union of Nations will also follow Germany to send troops, more than ten EU countries, should be able to send about 2.5 million troops, so that Li Mo used the Soviet battlefield at one time has 7 million troops, 1.5 million more German elite troops than the historical "Barbarossa" plan, of course, many advanced weapons, also appeared in the German troops in advance, in this case, can not win the Soviet Union, why not Li Mo himself go to the Nuremberg gallows, this has nothing to say.

……

After Hitler received Limer's "Barbarossa" plan, he locked himself in his office and studied it alone for three days, Hitler still believed in his "Desert Tiger" very much, and last time Limer insisted on using paratroopers to seize the island of Malta, and after Hitler received the plan, after careful consideration, he felt that his "Desert Tiger" strategy was still very correct. Therefore, Hitler will definitely not slack off on the strategic plan provided by Li Mo, and hurriedly thinks behind closed doors.

Three days later, Hitler finally began to gather several field marshals to discuss the strategic plan, they were Celt, Chief of the General Staff of the High Command, Minister of Defense Blunburg, Army Commander-in-Chief Brauchitsch, Admiral Raeder, Air Marshal Kesselring, SS leader Himmler, and Limer, the strategic planner, and the meeting was scheduled to be held in the wolf's den in the Alps. The high level of this meeting was evident from those who attended, and it was a military conference that decided the future and fate of Germany. The implementation of this "Barbarossa" plan is necessary, and now the discussion is how to implement it, if this "Barbarossa" plan fails, the fate that awaits these people is death.

Because of the importance of this meeting, everyone at the meeting had a serious face, including Li Mo, this is a meeting that decides the life and death of Germany, and everyone can't help but be imprudent.

Miss Schröder, director of Hitler's Secretariat, stood beside Hitler, and Miss Schroeder had a lockbox in her hand, which was handcuffed to Miss Schroeder's wrist, and it seemed that this lockbox never left Miss Schroeder's hand.

"Dear Miss Schroeder, send the top-secret documents! Remember, this document was all handed back to Miss Schroeder at the end of the meeting, and that during the meeting, you should not take any minutes of the meeting, and you will not tell anyone when you go back, including your dearest wife, you can understand. ”

"Hey! Hitler, understood. ”

All the generals present at the meeting stood up and saluted, answered Hitler's questions one by one, and after receiving Hitler's instructions, they slowly sat down and waited for Hitler's further instructions.

Hitler stood up and motioned to Miss Schroeder to open the curtain on the wall, "Hoohoo ......", Miss Schroeder quickly opened the curtain, and on the wall was a huge map of Asia and Europe, this military map was very accurate, and it was cut from photographs.

It turned out that this map was Hitler's separate order JU89 strategic bomber, carrying Germany's most advanced camera, to cruise at high altitude, to take the entire map of Asia and Europe, these photos, need a large number of geographers and cartographic engineers, cut and paste from the huge number of photos, this workload is very huge, for this map, Hitler paid the money that can equip an armored division. After the original map is cut out, it can be remade and printed, so that a high-definition color satellite map that is ahead of the times is completed. (To be continued......)
