Rommel's telegram of victory was sent out in clear code, and the whole world instantly exploded, the British Empire has dominated the world for hundreds of years, and they rely on the extremely powerful navy, and the British Empire's navy is invincible in the eyes of people all over the world, so the result of the sea and air war in Gibraltar shocked the eyes of a place.

First, let's talk about the situation when Hitler received the telegram, when Hitler was in the command room and a group of executives were discussing the army's attack on Greece.

At this time, the Greek campaign deviated a little from history, and the British Mediterranean Fleet was supposed to support Greece for the most part, because Rommel suddenly attacked the Gibraltar Fortress, and as a result, the British Mediterranean Fleet went to the Gibraltar Fortress.

Although Greece was an ally of the British, the fortress of Gibraltar was significantly more important than rescuing Greece, so Churchill only sent two infantry divisions from Egypt to reinforce Greece.

Britain's reinforcement of Greece was not very powerful, which made Hitler see the possibility of quickly resolving the Greek problem, and how to fight, Hitler had to discuss it with his subordinates.

While Hitler was discussing with a group of high-ranking officers, suddenly a telegraph officer hurried in:

"Hey! Hitler. ”

When a telecommunications officer enters the operational command room, there are usually very important telegrams that need to be handled by the Führer himself, otherwise it is impossible for a small telecommunications officer to go to the operational command room at the national level:

Hitler looked at the telegraph officer who had hurried in, and asked amiably:

"Is there anything important?"

"Report to the Great Führer, General Rommel has sent a telegram in clear code, please take your looks."

When Hitler heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, Rommel actually invented the code telegraph for himself, which was certainly not an important thing, and Hitler immediately said:

"Read it!"

The telecommunications officer cleared his throat and began to read Rommel's plain-code telegram:

"The Great Führer:

At 7:30 a.m., 300 planes of the 4th Air Division engaged in a fierce battle with the British Mediterranean Fleet at the port of Gibraltar.

The Fourth Air Division lived up to expectations and achieved brilliant results, sinking two aircraft carriers, two grassroots battleships, seven cruisers, 15 destroyers, two battleships, and three destroyers of the British Mediterranean Fleet, and the enemy Mediterranean Fleet was basically completely annihilated by our troops......"

The silence, the deathly silence of the combat command room, everyone opened their mouths wide to speak, but they didn't know what to say.

This is a very hurtful and shocking achievement, and the most powerful thing for Britain is not the army or the air force, but their naval fleet.

It is inconceivable that Columel used the Fourth Air Division, which had only more than 300 aircraft, to destroy almost all of the British Mediterranean fleet, and if it were not for the fact that Rommel was an honest general, no one would believe it.

Hitler was the first to react, and he asked in confusion:

"Are you sure this is a plain-code telegram from Rommel?"

"The humble post has been verified, it is definitely a clear telegram sent by General Rommel, and all the results of the battle have also been verified by them, and there are air defense photos as evidence, and there is absolutely no element of false reporting."

Hitler now hated the British Empire so much that after the Battle of France, Hitler offered an olive branch to Britain several times, but Britain repeatedly rejected Hitler's offer to make peace.

Hitler ordered the attack on Britain out of necessity, and the Sea Lion Plan was drawn up in a hurry, and Germany was not prepared at all, with the result that the Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses, and Germany lost more than half of its more than 5,000 aircraft.

Aircraft were the basis for Germany's blitzkrieg, and Germany suddenly lost so many planes that it could not recover at all in a year or two, and in this case, of course, Hitler hated Britain very much, and he always wanted to teach the arrogant British a bloody lesson, but he had no chance.

I didn't expect this lesson to come so suddenly, Hitler's joy can be imagined, it seems that his vision is really good, his confidant Rommel, who was promoted by himself, really did not let himself down, he brought himself such good news.

"Well, General Rommel is really a model for the Wehrmacht, send this telegram to Goebbels, the Minister of Propaganda."

"Yes, my Führer."

The telecommunications liaison officer trotted out of the operations command room. Hitler was overjoyed, his face was full of irrepressible excitement, and the hand behind his back was also shaking, and as soon as Hitler was excited, he had this little problem, which was actually a precursor to Parkinson's disease.

"Field Marshal Blunburg, how do you say that the officers and men of Rommel and the 4th Air Division will be commended."

The minister of the High Command was afraid that Hitler would be hot-headed again and promote Rommel, and now he is promoting Rommel, not to love Rommel, but to bring trouble to Rommel, as a die-hard supporter of Hitler, it is necessary to remind the great Führer:

"Great Führer, first of all, give the medal to Rommel and all the officers and soldiers who participated in the war! After the Battle of Gibraltar is over, it is not too late to reward meritorious deeds. ”

Defense Minister Brauchitsch was recently very dissatisfied with Hitler's meddling in the Wehrmacht, but Hitler's personal prestige was extremely high in Germany, and Defense Minister Brauchitsch could not shake Hitler's position at all.

Brauchitsch had even thought of such a scheme as a conspiracy to assassinate him, and some plots within the Wehrmacht to overthrow Hitler had been able to exist for a long time under Brauchitsch's deliberate cover.

Originally, Brauchitsch thought that Hitler was going to give Rommel a promotion again! As a result, Hitler's lackey Brunberg suppressed the matter.

Brauchitsch originally did not hate Rommel, but now Hitler has repeatedly promoted Rommel directly through the Ministry of Defense, and it is obvious that Hitler regards Rommel as a confidant, which in Brauchitsch's view, Rommel is Hitler's "magic grasp" to the Wehrmacht, and Hitler wants to use Rommel's hand to control the Wehrmacht.

Hitler undoubtedly moved Brauchitsch's "cake" by doing so, and it is only natural that Brauchitsch hated Rommel.

Fortunately, Brauchitsch is not thinking about dealing with Rommel now, he just doesn't want to continue to promote Rommel. Rommel commanded an armored corps and served as the governor of France, Brauchitsch was still acceptable, after all, Rommel's ability and great military exploits were on the table.

Brauchitsch hurriedly helped:

"Great Führer, I don't think there is a problem with Marshal Brünburg's arrangement, after all, now is the time for war, and when this battle is over, it is not too late for us to reward our merits."

Both the High Command and the Minister of Defense thought the same thing, and Hitler was not in the process of proposing Rommel's immediate promotion.

But Hitler looked at the two marshals and did not speak for a long time, and the two marshals were so frightened that both Blunberg and Brauchitsch wondered in their hearts whether they had said something wrong.

In fact, Hitler was thinking, why did these two people prevent themselves from giving Rommel a promotion, Hitler was analyzing the motives of the two, Hitler was very smart, but this person was easy to go to extremes.
