"How to hide these tens of thousands of tons of supplies?"

Zafika stroked his chest with one hand:

"Just hide in the sewers of Tobruk."

"Sewers, the desert city of Tobruk actually has sewers? Don't lie to me, I don't read much. ”

Zafika hurriedly explained:

"Dear General, Tobruk is located on the edge of the desert and is a seaport city, where water vapor from the sea meets the desert winds, and the desert is very cold at night, which causes rain to form in the Tobruk region.

So there is a rainy season in Tobruk, usually in August and September, and it rains in the Tobruk area for two months in a row, and it is not surprising that there are sewers in Tobruk City. ”

"Are Tobruk's sewers strong?"

"It is very sturdy, and the space is not small, more than enough for tens of thousands of tons of materials and more than 100,000 people."

Harold said again worriedly;

"But I don't have enough people to carry these supplies!"

Zafika pointed to Tobruk City behind him and said lightly:

"Honorable General, Tobruk has 300,000 inhabitants, and I can help you gather a transport army of tens of thousands at any time."

Harold looked at Zafika in disbelief and asked thoughtfully:

"Tens of thousands of troops? Can they fight? ”

Zafika didn't know what Harold meant, and he asked tentatively:

"Does the General need us to help defend the city of Tobruk?"

"Of course, since you will henceforth be the mayor of Tobruk, appointed by the great general Rommel, isn't it your duty to guard Tobruk?"

Zafika blinked, thought for a moment, and then said:

"My people are all servants of Allah, and they are the most fearless in battle, but we don't have weapons or ammunition in our hands. I don't know if the general can provide us with a batch. ”

"And how many soldiers have you organized that can fight?"

Zafika suddenly stretched out a hand, opened his five fingers and said:

"Fifty thousand, at least fifty thousand."

Harold is not stupid, it is important to hold Tobruk himself, but it is not a good thing to arm the Libyans too strongly, and it is likely that the tail will not be able to fall in the future.

What's more, Harold did not have Rommel's authorization, so Harold would never dare to arm 50,000 Libyans, but Harold did need Libyans to help defend Tobruk.

Arming the Libyans is certain, but it certainly won't be as many as 50,000 people, how much is reasonable? Harold began to think, and for a long time Harold looked up at Zafika and said:

"Mayor Zafika, you also know that I don't have General Rommel's authorization right now, so I can't fully accede to your request.

But within the scope of my authority, I can appoint you as the commander of the Tobruk Tobruk militia division with the rank of colonel of the Wehrmacht, and this rank of colonel requires the approval of General Rommel before it can be officially effective.

Tobruk's militia division has a size of 16,800 men, and like the Wehrmacht infantry division, 50 percent of them are recommended by you, and the other 50 percent are assigned by me. ”

Transaction, this is completely a political and power transaction, in fact, as long as this kind of transaction is used well, it can definitely get twice the result with half the effort, everyone needs what they need, why not!

Zafika's eyes rolled in his sockets, and after a moment he asked tentatively:

"Honorable General, there is no unified government in Libya yet, General, can you say a few kind words for the great General Rommel in the future?"

It seems that Zafika's ambition is not small! He is actually quite a Libyan leader, but fortunately, Zafika did not ask Harold to agree to his request immediately, and Harold did not have the right to agree!

In the future, it is only Rommel who has the final say on which path Libya will take, and even Mussolini of Italy has no right to decide.

Harold patted his chest and said:

"No problem, I will definitely say a lot of good things for you in front of the great General Rommel, and if you have enough meritorious deeds, maybe the great General Rommel will agree to your request."

"Thank you, honorable general, I'll take care of the rest."

After Zafika finished speaking, he turned to leave, Harold looked at the back of Zafika leaving, and said thoughtfully:

"Let the logistics officer register all kinds of supplies immediately, be sure to be detailed, the weapons and ammunition must be guarded by us, and no Libyans are allowed to approach the sewer area where the weapons and ammunition are stored.

In addition, when selecting a division's weapons and equipment, the ammunition must be controlled within three bases. ”

After Harold finished speaking, he said to himself:

"I like ambitious people, ambitious people will be used, but no one should take anyone for fools."

Immediately after Zafika returned to the long-lost city hall of Tobruk, he announced on the radio that all citizens would immediately come to the port to help deliver supplies, and all those involved in transporting the goods would be paid more than twice as much as usual.

Zafika sent his henchmen to gather the young men and form the Tobruk militia division.

Zafika has a high reputation in the local area, and the citizens of Tobruk are willing to listen to Zafika's words, and a broadcast by Zafika allows tens of thousands of Tobruk citizens to go to the port to help the German army transport various supplies to the sewers.

Tens of thousands of tons of materials seem to be piled up all over the port, but tens of thousands of people help transport them, and it won't take long to transport so many materials.

The longest time was one day, and before the sandstorm stopped, it was impossible for the British army to send planes to attack Tobruk, and the tens of thousands of tons captured by Harold were finally saved.

It is really unexpected that such a major task was solved in one sentence like this. Harold now finally understood why General Rommel had been kind to the people of the occupied territories.

With the support of the people of the occupied territories, even if it is the support of a part of the population, anything can be done with half the effort, and if a brutal policy of repression is pursued in the occupied territories, it will definitely provoke even more fierce resistance, and this method is the most undesirable.

In one day, Zafika gathered more than 16,000 young men and women to form the Tobruk militia division.

According to the agreement, 50 percent of the officers were recommended by Zafika and appointed by Harold, who picked up and installed his cronies, that's for sure.

But fifty percent of the officers were arranged by Harold, who sent all of his lieutenants in the paratroopers to the Tobruk militia division.

They were accompanied by 2,000 elite paratroopers who were sent together to the Tobruk militia division, and the identity of these 2,000 German paratroopers was the instructors of the militia division, each instructor led a squad of Libyan militia, and the command of each squad was in the hands of German instructors.

Zafika was a careerist, but Harold was not an idiot either, the grassroots command of the Tobruk militia division was completely in the hands of the German army, although the middle commander Harold only held half of it, but the supreme command of the militia division was in the hands of Harold himself.

Harold did this without blame, this is fighting behind enemy lines, and any foreign army must be firmly in his hands.

Since Zafika wants to be a dog who gets power and benefits, he must have the consciousness of being a dog, otherwise he will only be abandoned, and Harold can support another Libyans to replace Zafika, won't the US imperialists in later generations do this?
