On the afternoon of the Battle of Gibraltar, most of the newspapers and radio in the United States began to report on the Battle of Gibraltar and Rommel.

What puzzles the American people is that in the past, the media used to report on how Rommel was a hero and invincible, but now, all the media have suddenly changed sex, and all of them are Black Rommel.

Some newspapers reported on Rommel's scandals, and this kind of newspaper almost wrote Rommel as a playboy who didn't know how to learn, and this kind of newspaper was originally doing this kind of lace news, which is also their specialty.

Anyway, Rommel is far away in Europe, and the relationship between the two countries is not very good now, so they are not afraid that Rommel will sue them, because that is simply impossible.

It is said that Rommel's previous victory was a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, and there are all kinds of strange reasons, anyway, they can be as dark as they want.

All sorts of so-called military brick-makers and beasts jumped out one after another, and they were interviewed by the media and newspapers, and these brick-makers and beasts analyzed and analyzed Rommel's battle examples.

In the end, Rommel's results were false, Rommel's achievements were boasted by Nazi Germany, and all Rommel's great exploits were fake, fake.

Of course, there are also unbelieving newspapers and media that support Rommel, and these newspapers and media are controlled by the Rothschilds, whose roots are in Europe, and American conglomerates are now joining forces to boycott the Rothschilds.

Therefore, the Rothschilds' influence in the United States is still very limited, and it has not reached the point of competing with several major American conglomerates, especially since the outbreak of World War II, the Rothschilds have suffered heavy losses in Europe, which makes the Rothschilds even less their opponents after several major conglomerates in the United States join forces.

Anyway, the Rothschilds are betting on Rommel, they plan to use all the family's support to support Rommel, if Rommel succeeds, they will get the financial encyclopedia of the whole of Europe, and then the Rothschilds are fully entering the United States, this is the Rothschilds' plan.

All the newspapers and media in the United States are very lively, whether it is black Rommel or quite Rommel, the result is that Rommel is even more famous, Hollywood star Marilyn Monroe, is not as famous as Rommel, if Rommel is not a general, it is definitely a good choice to come to Hollywood to act in movies.

Well, more and more people are participating in the Gibraltar bet, even the American people who usually don't gamble can't help but buy a little bit to finish, and the Gibraltar battle bet has jumped like a rocket, and the total bet has reached a terrifying 50 billion in just a few days.

This 50 billion is half of the annual GDP of the United States, and even the President and Congress of the United States were stunned by such a shocking bet.

This earth-shattering bet is already related to the economic development situation of the United States in the next few years, and the US government cannot help but pay no attention to it, suppression is certainly impossible, and it may even provoke a fierce popular uprising. Successive U.S. administrations have been very conservative in their treatment of civil affairs.

Since it can't be suppressed, it can only be escorted, and US President Roosevelt can only pinch his nose and order the police to be dispatched to protect the betting sites, and strictly monitor the flow of funds from major casinos and major consortia.

The U.S. government is also afraid that these people will abscond with money! When the time comes, it will be the government that will bear the blame, so Roosevelt will not be so stupid!

After the statistics of several major casinos and consortia on the bets after changing the odds, although the odds of buying Rommel to win are 10:1, the number of people who buy Rommel to win still reaches 35 billion, and the number of those who buy Rommel is only a pitiful 5 billion.

For such an outcome, several major casinos and financial institutions are completely stupid, and now because of the strong intervention of the US government, the flow of funds of the casinos and several major financial institutions in the United States involved in the gambling is fully monitored, even if they want to do something now.

Everything can only wait for the verdict of fate, no, it should be waiting for the final outcome of the Battle of Gibraltar, whether you make a lot of money or lose depends on the outcome of the Battle of Gibraltar.

Some small countries that follow the United Kingdom are not so calm, when Britain is strong, they bow down to the United Kingdom, if Britain is weak, they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

……

After Rommel annihilated the Mediterranean fleet, he immediately accelerated the speed of troop transportation, from the Spanish border to Gibraltar, a distance of more than 600 kilometers, even if the railway system in Spain is good, this process of transporting troops will take five days.

Rommel certainly would not wait for five days to launch an attack, and five days was too easy for the battle situation to have long nights and dreams, and Rommel immediately ordered all the train wagons to be loaded in the 7th Panzer Division.

Rommel set out from Andorra only with the 7th Panzer Division, and Spain did not have enough trains to transport one of Rommel's Panzer Corps, but there was no problem in transporting more than 10,000 men and equipment from one division at a time.

From Andorra, the border city of Spain, to Gibraltar, a total of 630 kilometers, the speed of the Spanish railway is generally 60 kilometers per hour, if it is a military train, if it does not stop on the way, the speed can be increased to 80.

The eleven trains on which Rommel led the 7th Panzer Division did not stop at all, and all other vehicles gave way under the coordination of the Spanish government.

Departing on the afternoon of 12/14/40, at six o'clock in the morning of the second day, Rommel and the 7th Panzer Division reached the perimeter of the fortress of Gibraltar, and the remaining 200 planes of the 4th Air Division were in Malaga, Gibraltar, and there was no need to transfer.

Rommel, who arrived on the periphery of the Gibraltar fortress, was in no hurry to attack, the Gibraltar fortress was simply too strong.

The entire fortress was built on a solid limestone mountain, with the rocks at the top of the hill and the reinforced concrete inside the fortress, with an average thickness of about 100 meters at the top of the fortress and about 30 or 40 meters on the sides.

No matter what kind of bomb, it is difficult to hurt such a strong fortress, and the Spanish have attacked the fortress of Gibraltar before, and the artillery is of no use against the fortress.

Speaking of the firepower of the Gibraltar fortress, there are three fortress gun groups on its top, a total of more than 20 280 mm caliber fortress guns, the tops of these fortress guns are all made of steel plates and cement, the top of these fortress guns is up to ten meters thick, can resist the direct hit of one or two 500-kilogram aerial bombs.

These fortress guns are mainly used to attack sea targets, of course, they can make a cameo attack on threats from land, what tanks are simply tofu scum in front of these fortresses.
