Field Marshal Keitel and Field Marshal Bock only discussed that they would not interfere in the African campaign commanded by Rommel, and that the Wehrmacht was still very united within the Wehrmacht, and there would definitely be no "fighting in the same room".

From what the colonel-level officer said just now, it can already be seen that some German officers have begun to have opinions about the German Seventh Panzer Division, and Rommel cannot avoid this problem no matter how low-key he is, but as long as this contradiction is within the scope of reason, it still has no impact on Germany.

If we use Stalin's kind and treat internal contradictions as contradictions between ourselves and enemies, it will be a great disaster, but Germany will not, Germany's national character is determined, and Lao Maozi's ruthless character is destined to have such a catastrophe.

"Marshal Keitel, what you said is very reasonable, let's do this, we will resolutely carry out the Führer's order, let's jointly send a telegram of condolences to Marshal Rommel!"

"Haha! Okay, just do as Marshal Bock wants. ”

"What about Project Barbarossa?"

"Isn't the Great Führer still there? There's our turn to call the shots. ”

"Yes, yes......"

Germany's military arrangements were still carried out as scheduled in accordance with the trajectory of history, and only Rommel appeared in the entire African campaign.

……

The Battle of Cairo is in full swing:

Cairo is the capital of Egypt and bordered by the Nile River to the west, which is politically, economically, and militarily important. For the Germans, the rapid capture of Cairo could deal a heavy blow to the morale and will of the British army, and was conducive to a quick victory in the campaign.

Just two days after the outbreak of the war, three German panzer divisions had arrived under the city of Cairo. According to common sense, the Egyptian defenders of Cairo at this time rushed to the battle and were unprepared, but the enemy guarding Cairo did not flee.

The lights were still bright in the "former enemy command post" of the circular defensive position of the German 7th Panzer Division, and it was already the night of March 7.

Rommel and Steiner, commander of the SS Viking Panzer Division, were still talking softly, and instead of a pencil, they had a piece of bread in their hands, and a cup of tea and boiling water, and a mouthful of bread and tea to solve the food.

"Ahem, ahem...... Field Marshal Rommel, the Viking Panzer Division is a nascent unit, and now it is not favored by the Wehrmacht leadership, and even looked down on by them, saying that we are just standing guard, and now we are going to play a great military might, make the enemy fearful, and let everyone know that the SS Viking Panzer Division represents victory and death. ”

"General Steiner, I completely agree with your point of view, my Viking Panzer Division represents victory and death, crushing all enemies who dare to block the advance of our army to pieces, Viking Panzer Division is victorious, Germany is victorious."

Field Marshal Rommel looked at Steiner with a smile on his face, feeling the changes in Steiner during this time, Steiner was originally an SS general who admired Hitler very much, but at this time Steiner admired Rommel to the ground.

"Yes, my marshal, I am also convinced that our Viking division has the ability to crush all enemies, and now the opportunity is in front of us, victory is not far ahead, my marshal, will you fight with me to the end? All for victory, all for Germany. ”

"My general, to be able to fight alongside you is the honor of my pride in this life."

After destroying what he had in his hands, Field Marshal Rommel and Steiner began to nervously formulate a battle plan. The operational plan for the attack on Cairo was first drawn up by Field Marshal Rommel and then handed over to hundreds of operational staff officers to complete.

After the perfect battle plan was sent to Marshal Rommel, Rommel handed over the battle plan to the two commanders who attacked Cairo, Luxemburg and Steiner, who carefully reviewed and revised it and confirmed that it was correct, and Marshal Rommel could sign it at this time, indicating that the battle plan had been approved and implemented.

In the whole process of formulating the battle plan, the German high-quality staff officers played a very important role, so high-quality staff officers are the priceless treasure of every army.

The battle plan drawn up by Marshal Rommel was not very complicated, the "Viking Division" pincer attack due north of Cairo, and the "7th Panzer Division" pincer attack due south of Cairo.

The goal of the "Viking Division" and the "Seventh Panzer Division" was to cut off Cairo, and then the three Panzer Divisions would completely encircle half of Cairo City and encircle it with all their might.

……

After everyone left Hitler's ward, Hitler, who felt physically and mentally exhausted, rang the bell, and soon a guard asked the great Führer what arrangements he had, and Hitler just told the guards to call the Chinese medicine doctor, and now Hitler has completely liked the Chinese medicine doctor, if he is not feeling well, let the Chinese medicine doctor massage it, or prick it with a long silver needle, and his spirit will immediately be much better.

The guards hurriedly went to call a Chinese medicine doctor, and Hitler looked at the photo of him and Rommel on the bedside table, Hitler's mood suddenly relaxed a lot, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, his face was full of kindness, and at the same time, Hitler's muttering could be heard:

"My Marshal Rommel, you are a genius of war! You are the future of Germany, my unfinished business needs you to complete, how can you risk your life, don't you know that Germany needs you? You must be safe! ……”

After Marshal Rommel's circular defensive position was deployed, Montgomery's desperate counterattack was about to begin, and Montgomery mobilized a large number of troops for counter-encirclement.

If Montgomery's battle plan succeeded, it was likely that the three most elite German armored divisions would be completely annihilated under the city of Cairo, and Montgomery was still very sure of the total annihilation of these tens of thousands of German troops, so he mobilized 50,000 British troops and more than 200,000 British servant troops for counterattack.

Montgomery planned to use 150,000 British regular troops and 200,000 servants to block the German attack, and the remaining 200,000 troops were all involved in the siege of the German armored assault group under the city of Cairo.

Montgomery's order for which blocking forces were simple:

"Hold your ground until you die."

Don't doubt the spirit of sacrifice of the British army for the country, and don't doubt the fighting will of the Egyptian servant army, Egypt has been divided several times in history, the whole famous family and people have been ravaged, the vast majority of Egyptians have a strong belief in the country, Britain has ruled Egypt for a long time, and many Egyptians almost regard themselves as British. (Just look at a certain port)

Therefore, Montgomery's orders will definitely be carried out by the Egyptian servants, but it is another matter not to be able to stop the German attack, and the important Egyptian servant army is ready to die for the country. (To be continued.) )
