Chapter 203: Pre-War Mobilization (I)

"Zafika means to get your personal appointment, and he and his men agree that only the appointment of the commander-in-chief is justified."

"There's no problem with this, isn't it just to write hundreds of letters of appointment! You arrange for all the mid-level officers to come to the conference room, and we might as well have a welcome meeting today, where I will publicly appoint those Libyans, and let Zafika fulfill this wish. ”

Harold wanted all the mid-level German officers in Tobruk to see General Rommel with their own eyes, and the Libyan militia division was also present at the welcoming meeting.

Fifty percent of the officers in the Libyan militia division are Libyans, all of them Zafika's cronies, but Harold has done a lot of work, such as the class command in the hands of instructors, and fifty percent of the mid-level officer commanders are German officers.

In short, the command of the Libyan militia division was firmly in the hands of the Germans, and the weapons and equipment they used were all British standard equipment, exactly the same as the British infantry divisions, but the ammunition was in the hands of the Germans.

……

The meeting was held in a large conference room next to the command war room, which could seat more than 500 people, and the entire conference room was full.

All the mid-level commanders of the Libyan militia division, about two hundred people, came, and the Libyans were overjoyed to hear that Rommel was going to meet them.

If it weren't for the strict control of the number of participants, this conference room would not be enough to sit at all, and Rommel's fame and prestige made Libyans flock to him, and everyone wanted to see Rommel's style.

Zafika was even more excited, because Zafika's status was special, so he was honored to be received by Rommel alone.

When Zafika saw Rommel in the command room, he immediately crawled under Rommel's feet and kissed Rommel's boots, but fortunately Rommel knew that this was a tradition of Libyans to show submission, and did not make a fuss about it.

After kissing Rommel's boots, Zafika lowered her head and said:

"Great General Rommel, please accept the sincere and faithful Zafika and make Zafika your lifelong servant."

Rommel put his hand on Zafika's forehead in accordance with the ritual of Islam, and said in a very solemn tone:

"In the name of the caliphate, I accept your request to make you my lifelong servant of Rommel, and I hope that you will always remember the teachings and canons of Islam......"

Whether this religious ceremony was right or not is not so important, but what matters is that Rommel accepted Zafika's surrender.

After listening to Rommel's words, Zafika immediately burst into tears with excitement, and he kissed Rommel's boots again, fortunately, Rommel's boots were clean, and I don't know how much dust Zafika will eat.

Rommel looked at Zafika's excited appearance, and his heart was mirror-like, a person like Zafika, who had a huge family behind him, and he himself was a very ambitious person.

Such a person, at this time, to join Rommel, is definitely a stopgap measure, when the German army has gained a foothold in Africa and has won successive victories, then Zafika is a loyal dog.

If Germany suffers several defeats in Africa in a row and is in danger of defeat, then Zafika is a wolf that eats its master.

Someone like Zafika, no matter how loyal he may be, Rommel retains the necessary vigilance and uses him in a controlled manner.

Rommel helped Zafika up, comforted him with kind words, and then wrote a letter of appointment to Zafika himself, and Zafika was officially appointed by Rommel as the commander of the Libyan militia division.

When Zafika got Rommel's letter of appointment, she was moved to tears, this kid can already act in movies, and the tears come out when they come out, this is already the level of a professional actor.

"Great general, Zafika will only be the head of your horse in the future......"

Zafika made another big show of loyalty to Rommel, and Rommel listened to the story. Rommel and Zafika were polite for a while, and then the two went to the conference room together, and Zafika was arranged by Rommel to sit on the rostrum.

Rommel had been quietly observing Zafika, and when Zafika was placed on the rostrum by Rommel, Zafika inadvertently showed a natural smile.

Behind this natural smile, it shows that Zafika is very much appreciated by Rommel's attention to him, and he is very satisfied with Rommel's approach.

The meeting began soon, in fact, it was equivalent to a pre-war mobilization meeting of Rommel, and Rommel had to say a few touching words to all the brothers present:

"Brothers, it is an honor for me to be able to fight with you in Tobruk this time, and I am proud to fight with you warriors."

"Bang bang...... Bang bang ......"

Immediately there was a prolonged applause from under the podium, and after Rommel waited for a minute of applause, he raised his hand and the applause below came to an abrupt end.

Needless to say, the middle-level officers of the German army all graduated from military academies, but those middle-level officers of the Libyan militia division actually have this quality, which makes Rommel feel that those Libyan middle-level officers are really of good quality.

But it also shows that Zafika's investment in these people must be not small, and Zafika has been secretly training these people for a long time, and Zafika has been premeditated! Of course, opportunities also favor those who are prepared.

Rommel went on to speak:

"We Germans want peace, but we are not afraid of war, let alone the swords and swords on the battlefield.

You are here today in Tobruk so that the people of Libya will not be enslaved by the British army. You are here for honor, because this is where you get honor.

You are here because you are real men, and real men like to fight.

When all of you here today were kids, we looked up to celebrities, boxers and pros. When the war began, you began to worship heroes and warriors, because one day you too would become heroes that others would worship.

Germans love the winners, and the Germans never forgive the losers. The Germans despise cowards, and since the Germans are in the war, they must win, and they will win, and I am convinced of this, and I think you think the same thing as I am. ”

The people who attended the meeting immediately stood up and applauded enthusiastically, while shouting the slogan:

"Bang bang...... Long live Germany. ”

"The German Afrika Korps wins."

Rommel had to stop and wait for the fanatical officers to roar a few times before continuing his speech:

"I scoff at the kind of people who laugh when they lose, and Germany tried to be brave after the defeat of the First World War, and Germany quickly washed away the shame of the First World War with the war, leaving the enemy to tremble at our knees.

Germany will not lose now and will not lose in the future, and a true German will hate even the thought of defeat.

In the upcoming battle of Tobruk, although we only have half a German paratrooper division and a Libyan militia division, we have more than 50,000 tons of sufficient supplies of all kinds, and we have an impregnable fortress of Tobruk.

The most important thing is that you still have more than 300,000 citizens of Tobruck City behind you as a strong backing, and with their support, the most vicious enemy in the world will not be able to shake you, I am convinced of this. ”
