Chapter 400: Urgent Message (II)
After a long battle, my heroic Afrika Legion soldiers blocked wave after wave of enemy charges, killing countless British troops, and our army's position was already full of British corpses, but the British army relied on the superiority of numbers to make the southeast and southeast of my ring defensive position extremely dangerous.

At this time, Marshal Rommel had no troops to send, so he summoned nearly 2,000 people, including firefighters and horsemen from the military headquarters, to personally lead the troops to support the battle on the Eastern Front, leaving me and a few other operational staff officers to coordinate and command the troops.
At this critical moment, we telegraphed to the Great Führer that the Afrika Korps would fight to the last soldier and swear allegiance to the great Führer, the great Germany.
Long live Germany!!
Long live the Great Führer!!
March 9, 1941, 12 o'clock in the morning"
After the bold operational staff officer had drafted the telegram, he gave it to the others, and several other operational staff officers signed it one after another, and the signing of the telegram was quickly sent by the separate communications section of the Afrika Korps.
Hitler was also born as an ordinary soldier, knew the demands of ordinary soldiers, and did not allow his attendants to delay the intelligence of military intelligence.
The urgent message from the Afrika Korps was immediately delivered to Hitler's hospital room, and now Hitler is paralyzed in his hospital bed, but he is still worried about Rommel under Cairo.
Hitler knew that he would not last long, and Rommel was his chosen successor, and if Rommel had an accident, there would be a new round of power struggle in Germany around the successor.
If Hitler had been in good health, this would not have been a problem at all, but Hitler would not have lasted long, and he did not have the energy to deal with the power struggle within Germany.
Besides, Germany was at war, and the attack on the Soviet Union was at its last moment, and Hitler did not want his chosen successor, Rommel, to make any mistakes, but there were always some surprises.
"Hey! Hitler...... Afrika Korps emergency message. ”
Hitler, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly had his eyes shining, because in Hitler's eyes, the telegrams sent by his "Marshal Rommel" at the front were always messages that surprised him, and there had never been an exception, and of course not this time, Hitler thought as a matter of course......
"Good, good, it's Marshal Rommel's telegram of the good news, read it aloud! Let the marshals and generals here also learn how the Afrika Korps fights. ”
Hitler meant well to let his "Field Marshal Rommel" make a bit of a show in front of these arrogant, self-righteous Wehrmacht generals and raise Rommel's prestige.
In fact, the great Führer really thought of these self-righteous senior generals of the Wehrmacht, Hitler chose Rommel as his successor, and the Wehrmacht did not have much resistance, first, Rommel was an out-and-out Wehrmacht, and secondly, Rommel succeeded to the Führer, which was much better than Himmler or Goebbels as the Führer.
Hitler didn't want to think about it, so to call the Minister of Defense, Chief of Staff of the Supreme Command: Keitel (Field Marshal), Commander-in-Chief of the Army: Brauchitsch (Field Marshal), Chief of Army Staff: Halder (General) and so on, to learn how Field Marshal Rommel fought the war, just by virtue of Marshal Rommel's great military exploits? These old fellows are very arrogant, but they snort and don't make a sound of objection.
The communications officer began to read aloud the telegram from several combat staff officers, and in the communications officer's muffled voice, "...... Field Marshal Rommel was besieged under the city of Cairo by 300,000 British troops......"
Although these high-ranking German generals were not very convinced by Rommel, Rommel was after all the future head of Germany, and there could be no civil strife for the post of head of state in Germany when a major war was imminent.
The senior German generals in Hitler's ward, some were surprised, some blamed, some shook their heads and sighed, you must know that the mission of the Afrika Korps was personally given by Hitler, so no one dared to say strange things, Hitler's personal prestige was enough to overwhelm all opposing voices, but you can't stop others from laughing at Rommel in their hearts!
Hitler's face became more and more ugly with the voice of the communications officer, a thin face without a trace of blood, and his weak hands trembled more and more, this situation was completely Hitler's desire to make the Afrika Korps make great achievements, and gave the Afrika Korps a situation of ignoring the friendly forces on both flanks, and then rushed to the enemy's capital, but now it is surrounded by the British army, surrounded by heavy troops, and the Afrika Korps is in danger of being wiped out at any time.
In other words, the current crisis of the Afrika Korps is all caused by Hitler, can this not make Hitler deeply blame himself? At this time, Hitler's heart wanted to die, and Hitler's "Field Marshal Rommel" could spill blood on the battlefield at any time.
"Ahh ……”
Hitler, whose face was pale and his hands trembled, finally couldn't hold on any longer, screamed, tilted his head, and began to foam at the mouth.
"Führer ......"
"Hurry up and call a doctor......
After listening to the urgent telegram sent by the Afrika Korps, Hitler was so anxious that he fainted, which immediately made these marshals and generals panic, some of them were among the people, and some of them called doctors.
Soon the Führer's special doctors came to the ward, and they immediately helped the Führer to examine his body, and after a while, the Führer's attending doctor all said:
"Marshals, generals, the great Führer is fine for the time being, but the Führer's spirit is almost exhausted, and the Führer still has a month or two to spare."
Hitler's full-time doctors, who were extremely skilled, confirmed the results of their diagnosis, and there was absolutely no possibility of misdiagnosis.
The high-ranking generals in Hitler's ward, after listening to the words of Hitler's doctor, became active, Hitler was almost finished, and his chosen successor was still besieged under the city of Cairo, so the position of the Führer was not vacant.
A general of not very high rank, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, quietly withdrew from Hitler's ward, and the general immediately came to the infirmary, called Miss Anna directly, and gave Anna a detailed report of what he had seen and heard in Hitler's ward.
……
In the War Hall of the Ministry of Defense in London, England, several famous generals of later generations are arguing fiercely, and the reason for their argument is very simple, Churchill and MacArthur are firmly on the side, Marshal Rommel of the German Afrika Korps is an "idiot" + "stupid pig", and de Gaulle and Eisenhower are much more sensible.
The impatient MacArthur waved his large pipe and splattered his opinion:
"You see, although Germany has sent a large number of planes to carry out strategic bombing of the British army, but how many British troops are 300,000, that is not 300,000 pigs, how many people can be killed by those planes of the Germans, 30,000 or 50,000, 100,000 killed by the sky, and the British army still has 200,000 for attacking.
