Chapter 401: Churchill's Surprise

You must know that the British army is fighting a just war, don't underestimate their determination to fight to the death, the British army will definitely fight to the death with the German army in Africa, I am convinced of this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I think that with such a huge circular defensive position of the Afrika Korps, the distance in a straight line is more than 20 kilometers, and it is impossible for them to have so many troops to deploy the defense, and the Afrika Korps can only deploy alert forces on the edge of the circular position.

Their only mobile force is the 5th Panzer Division, how much can a tank division play, are they winged? Therefore, as long as the British army attacks on three sides, the Afrika Korps will definitely take care of one or the other, and as long as the material base of the Afrika Korps is destroyed, the Afrika Korps will be finished immediately.

You see, that's exactly what Montgomery did, so I'm sure Marshal Rommel's stupid pig must be doomed. ”

After MacArthur finished spitting, Churchill hurriedly helped:

"Yes, General MacArthur said it very well, and the analysis is very accurate, I fully support General MacArthur's point of view, Marshal Rommel's stupid pig is finished, if the British army can kill the stupid pig with his fingers, I really want to make him a roast pig, hahaha......"

Eisenhower took a light sip of his coffee before he said slowly:

"I said you two, don't be too sure, war can happen in any unexpected situation, if Field Marshal Rommel of the German Afrika Korps is not really stupid, he can use most of the armored division at his disposal to meet the British tank forces in the north.

With a small part of the force and the carpet bombing of the bomber group, it is completely possible to delay the attack of the British army on the southeast and southeast fronts, and as long as the Afrika Korps delays the eastern and southern fronts for two or three hours, so that the Afrika Korps on the northern front can turn around and support the southeast and southeast fronts, it can completely repel the British army's siege on three sides.

At this time, the second wave of bombing of the German bomber group is also coming! My general, how many carpet bombing of German bomber groups can you take because the British troops are in the unobstructed Egyptian plains?

So I don't agree with you, I think there are variables until the war is completely decided. ”

MacArthur was immediately unconvinced, and cried out loudly:

"I don't agree with General Eisenhower's remarks, a tank division and an infantry division of the British army have more than 30,000 people, even if it is more than 30,000 pigs, it is impossible to catch them in three hours! Therefore, it is impossible for the Afrika Korps to transfer the troops of the northern front to the southeast and southeast in a short period of time, so your assumption is not valid, general. ”

De Gaulle was much more tactful, Churchill was now the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and de Gaulle did not want to oppose Churchill explicitly, because from this situation, the French government-in-exile still had to rely on Britain in many places.

Churchill was not Chamberlain, Chamberlain was appeasement, and Churchill was a typical warmonger, he wanted to fight Germany to the death, even at the cost of consuming the wealth accumulated by the British army for hundreds of years.

The two prime ministers of the United Kingdom have gone from one extreme to the other.

Historically, Chamberlain was also condemned, in fact, his idea of peace was embraced by many at that time. He was condemned primarily because of his personal stubbornness, non-acceptance of dissent, and his dismissal of all cabinet members who disagreed with his foreign policy.

Chamberlain believed that his duty as British leader was to maintain peace in Europe, and he felt that the best way to do that was to treat Germany with kindness and to satisfy their wishes as much as possible.

He wishfully thought that a man as a leader would necessarily be reasonable, so Hitler should also be a reasonable man, and Chamberlain had a nickname before the outbreak of the war: "I love Mr. Berlin".

But no one can point out what would have been the difference if Britain had not pursued appeasement. At that time, France was reluctant to go to war, Italy joined the Axis powers, the United States remained isolationist, and Britain had practically no allies among the major powers of the time.

Chamberlain used this time to speed up Britain's rearmament program, improve the radar defense system, and update the air force, all of which played a key role in the later defense of Britain led by Churchill. Therefore, in recent years, some people have argued that Chamberlain's general policy thinking at that time was still logical and sober.

On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland, but Chamberlain's government did not declare war immediately, because France only had defense and no intention of attacking, and Chamberlain only declared that if Germany withdrew from Poland within two days, Britain would assist them in negotiations.

Chamberlain was under intense pressure from Parliament, and the leader of the Conservative MPs warned him that if he did not declare war again, the government would collapse, and after obtaining French consent and British pledges, Britain did not formally declare war until 3 September.

The first eight months of the war were called "fake wars", because there was no belligerent action, and it was not until Hitler attacked the Netherlands that Britain really entered the war, after Britain and France declared war on Germany in history, there was a very strange phenomenon, there was no war between the two sides, Britain and France did not take the initiative to attack Germany, and the German army did not provoke the British and French forces, and everyone lived peacefully for a whole month, until Germany attacked the Netherlands, and the war between the two sides officially broke out......

It doesn't matter whether Chamberlain achieved Germany's ambitions or Germany made Churchill, and there are some deviations in history now, but the general situation has not changed, except for the situation in Africa.

De Gaulle was about to take the floor to express his support for Churchill when he was interrupted by a report:

"Report: Berlin emergency message."

"Read."

"oo7 Urgent Secret:

The situation of the Afrika Korps was critical, and Marshal Rommel had already organized the firemen and grooms to go to the front in person, and Hitler heard about it, fainting in his hospital bed, unconscious.

British Wehrmacht Intelligence Officer 007 in Berlin on 9/2/39"

As soon as the information was read, the entire war hall was silent.

"Hahaha...... Ha ha...... Good!!! I knew that I was right, and immediately telegraphed General Montgomery to the British army, telling him that if they were working harder, the Afrika Korps would be dead. ”

MacArthur was ecstatic and ordered the intelligence officer, but unfortunately MacArthur forgot that this was there, this was the British Ministry of Defense, not the United States Department of Defense, and it was Churchill who gave the order, and the intelligence officer looked at Churchill to see what they meant, Churchill nodded secretly, saying that he could do as his American friend requested.

How did this intelligence get to the British Ministry of Defense so quickly, is it true that there are British and French spies in Germany, this is for sure, Germany also has spies in Britain and France, and similarly Britain and France and other countries also have spies in Germany, which is called "I have you, I have you." "It depends on who has the highest ability, can get the most confidential information, and is not discovered, this is the best of the spies.
