Rommel finished his request, but in the end he did not forget to continue to seduce Himmler, a person like Himmler, he took personal honor and disgrace and face too seriously, which doomed him to be unable to refuse Rommel's request.

Rommel was now the Viceroy of France and also the commander of the Afrika Korps, and Rommel certainly could not stay in France during the African war.

When Rommel was in France, he could still suppress the SS and the Gestapo, but what if Rommel left! Speer definitely did not dare to provoke the SS and the Gestapo.

Rommel needed a stable and economically prosperous France, and Rommel needed France to provide his own Afrika Korps with a constant supply of weapons, ammunition and materials.

That's why Rommel has to take these "demons and monsters" into his own hands, and if they dare to mess around, Rommel will reward them with a "peanut".

After a while, Himmler gritted his teeth and said to Rommel:

"Okay, nice to work with."

"Your Excellency, your decision is extremely wise and correct, and the Vikings' exploits speak for themselves."

As soon as Rommel and Himmler made a deal, he went to the High Command, and the head of the High Command, Field Marshal Blunburg, would not give Rommel small shoes, and Rommel chose the 90th Mechanized Division and the 22nd Paratrooper Division.

The Afrika Korps was officially formed on January 18, 41, and its units were the 5th, 7th, and 15th Panzer Divisions, the Wansheng Volunteer Division, the SS Viking Panzer Division, the 22nd Paratrooper Division, and the 90th Mechanized Division.

The total strength of the army is 135,000, including 864 tanks of various types, more than 1,200 artillery pieces of various calibers (excluding mortars), and more than 30,000 supplementary soldiers.

After Rommel received the approval for the transfer of troops, he held a small private banquet in his home.

Most of the people who came to the banquet were the bosses of the military industrial complex, and they all received Rommel's financial research and development assistance, and there were also some research and development institutions that came to Rommel, and they handed Rommel their own research and development plans, hoping to get Rommel's financial assistance.

The R&D programs offered by these people were all sorts of things, and it was a post-apocalyptic technology exhibition, and Rommel, as a traverser, certainly knew what was whimsical and which was applicable.

Rommel vetoed all the inapplicable R&D plans, and Rommel picked out a few weapons and equipment that would really be useful in the future and that Germany had really developed in history.

For example, the flying wing stealth bomber HO229, ground-to-air, air-to-surface, air-to-air missiles, etc., why did Rommel choose to support the research and development of missiles, and the German Ministry of Equipment is also engaged in V1 and V2!

The V1 and V2Z were already strategic weapons in the early days of World War II, and their role was too limited when Germany was not equipped with satellites.

However, ground-to-air, air-to-ground, and air-to-air missiles are different tactical weapons and equipment, because Rommel is stepping up the development of airborne radars, and as long as the radar miniaturization is completed, even if the detection range is only a dozen kilometers, it will be an over-the-horizon attack!

As long as Germany has ground-to-air, air-to-surface, air-to-air missiles and airborne radars, the sky will belong to the Luftwaffe, even if Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union want to use attrition tactics to consume Germany. (Airborne radar was already heavily equipped on airplanes at the end of World War II.) ）

Germany really developed various tactical missiles in history, but at this time the German sky was already full of Allied strategic bombers, and Germany's war industry was no longer able to produce these missiles in large quantities, and 44 years later, even if Germany had various tactical missiles, it would not be able to change the outcome of the defeat.

Rommel also reported the progress of research and development to some weapons and equipment projects that Rommel had assisted, and the funds that Rommel had aided them were enough for them to complete the research and development of the projects in hand.

After Rommel had dealt with the matter in Berlin, he immediately flew back to France, and the troops were about to be dispatched, and all the preparations were really complicated, and Rommel had to go to France to take the seat.

……

The two Hollywood films were also officially completed, and the filming crew immediately returned to the United States with the films for post-production.

These two war blockbusters about Rommel used two divisions of troops, more than 400 tanks alone, and countless other weapons and equipment, so it can be said that these two films are unprecedented war epics.

These two epic war blockbusters were released around the world about three or four months later, when Rommel was fighting in Africa, and if Rommel could also achieve brilliant results in Africa, then these two Acura Rommel films would be absolutely popular.

The filming crews of the two Hollywood companies left, and Rommel began to mobilize troops, and the entire Afrika Korps had more than 100,000 men, as well as countless weapons and ammunition, which needed to be transported by rail to southern Italy, and then loaded on ships in southern Italy to the port of Tumuds.

It would take at least three or four months to completely transport more than 100,000 Afrika Korps men and weapons and equipment to Tunis, and after three or four months, the Italians had been driven out to sea by the British to feed the sharks.

What should I do in this case? It's so easy to do! Since the railway system from France to Italy could not transport the Afrika Korps to its destination in a short time.

Then transport a small part of it, first stabilize the situation in Africa, at least to hold the port of Tunis, otherwise Rommel will not even have a foothold in Africa.

If Rommel had only transported the 7th Panzer Division to Africa, it would have taken half a day for all the weapons and personnel of the 7th Panzer Division to be loaded.

From Paris, France to southern Italy, about 1,300 kilometers, the train needs to travel continuously for a day and a night to reach the port of Reggioca, and then take a boat from the port of Reggica to Tunis, Rommel only needs two days and two nights to lead the 7th Panzer Division to land in Africa.

As for the more than 700 planes of the 10th Air Army, it only took them half a day to transfer to various airfields in southern Italy.

The advantage of this is that it can land in Africa in the shortest time, and Rommel in history almost did the same, landing in Africa quickly with a small number of troops, and catching the British by surprise.

But there was a fatal flaw in this plan of operations, which was to ignore the island of Malta, which was so important that it was located between Sicily and Africa, and that the British forces on the island could cut off the supply lines of the Agrokorps at any time.

The reason why Rommel won first and then lost in history was because the British army was freed up in the later period, and the British suddenly cut off Rommel's supply line from the strategic base of Malta Island, which was one of the main reasons why Rommel fell into Africa.

Rommel the traverser will definitely not make the same mistake, not to mention that the current Afrika Korps is much stronger than in history, and Rommel also has one of Germany's most elite paratrooper divisions in his hands,

Rommel, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, decided to abandon the plan to transport only the 7th Panzer Division to Africa, and this time he was going to use the 7th Panzer Division and the 22nd Paratrooper Division to Italy and attack the island of Malta first.
