Decades later, when Germany becomes the world leader, you will be glad that you participated in this world war

If one day, your grandson asks you:

"Grandpa, what were you doing during World War II?"

You don't have to cough dryly in embarrassment, move your grandson to the other knee, and say:

"Ah...... Grandpa, I was shoveling manure in the countryside at that time. ”

On the contrary, brothers, you can look him in the eye, point to the medal that hangs on his chest, and say:

"Grandson, grandfather, I fought side by side with that invincible and invincible Rommel in the Afrika Korps!"

As soon as Rommel's words fell, all the hundreds of middle-level officers present stood up, and they waved their fists, and their eyes were full of admiration for Rommel.

Everyone stood up in unison and cheered feverishly for Rommel's speech:

"Rommel's victory."

"The German Afrika Korps wins."

"Libyan militia division wins" ......

Rommel's speech was a success, and he thoroughly aroused the fighting passion of these mid-level officers, and Rommel's speech was broadcast to every position.

German soldiers, Libyan soldiers, all of them ignited a raging fighting passion, for honor, for promotion, for freedom and dignity, that is the slogan that everyone is shouting, far from the reality of promotion and medals.

If Rommel didn't want to reign over the world, if he was only a pure soldier, then he wouldn't have to go to great lengths to train his oratory.

Pure soldiers don't need to spit on the podium at all, pure soldiers just need to continue to win in the war.

But Rommel didn't want to be poisoned by Hitler and didn't want to be hanged at Nuremberg, so he had no choice but to become Führer and then try to correct Hitler's strategic mistakes.

If Rommel wants to be the head of state in the future, he must train himself to be a politician, and the most important ability of a politician is to make speeches.

Rommel has basically passed this hurdle, and as long as he gives a few more speeches in the future, his speeches will become more and more infectious.

……

At six o'clock in the morning of February 1, 1941, which was already the third morning of the German occupation of Tobruk, the British army finally took three days to deploy their forces in place, and then launched an attack on Tobruk.

Tobruk consists of three parts, the front of which is the city of Tobruk, the back left of the city of Tobruk is the port of Tobruk, and the back right is the fortress of Tobruk.

These three parts are exactly like a zigzag, and if the British want to take the whole of Tobruk, they must first attack the city of Tobruk, then the fortress of Tobruk, and finally the port.

This order of attack cannot be messed up, there are twelve 280 mm caliber coastal defense guns on the Tobruk fortress, these shore defense guns are very powerful, but the main role of these coastal defense guns is to the sea.

Therefore, these shore defense guns can only shoot at the sea and at the harbor, and must not be the first to attack the port until the Tobruk fortress is taken.

If the fortress is attacked first, and the artillery in Tobruk will bombard the British army that is attacking, that is to say, the British army has almost no choice in the tactical arrangement of attacking Tobruk, and can only start the attack from Tobruk and adopt the tactics of flat push.

Among all war situations, the most brutal war is the street battle, which is completely a hand-to-hand fight, which is a competition of courage between soldiers on both sides, and it is also a flesh and blood mill of human life.

The commander of the Battle of Tobruk, Rommel would never interfere, and Harold had already arranged everything.

So what was Rommel doing? From the beginning of the British attack, Rommel closed his eyes and rested in the headquarters inside the Tobruk Fortress.

Rommel really planned to let Harold fight in this battle, so he only occasionally used the "Vision of God" to look at some situations on the battlefield, and if it was not a major emergency, Rommel would never go to Harold to command.

The "Eye of God" is not omnipotent, Rommel can't do all the work alone, behind every successful person, there is a group of brothers who help him.

Excessive power is definitely not a good thing, it will alienate oneself from his subordinates, Hitler is an obvious example, why Hitler is incompatible with the German Wehrmacht officers, it is caused by Hitler's excessive power appropriation.

The command room was busy, all the personnel were doing their jobs, and Rommel was napping in a chair alone, but everyone felt at ease.

Because as long as General Rommel does not care about the situation of the battle, but where he closes his eyes and rests, it means that the battle is a sure victory, as has been the case in the past.

Harold, as the commander-in-chief, had been discussing quietly with a group of staff officers in front of the sand table, and at this moment, the air defense alarm in the fortress sounded, and a communications officer hurriedly ran to the command room and reported loudly:

"Report, a large number of enemy aircraft coming from the southeast."

"What's the number?"

"About three hundred."

"Prepare the troops for air defense!"

The radar deployed by the British troops at the fortress of Tobruk had been captured intact by the Germans and was now being used.

After this battle is over, this radar will be immediately transported to Germany for research, although Rommel has invested some money to develop radar, but some key technologies have not yet broken through, this captured radar has been a great help to Rommel.

Even if the British knew that the Germans were using their radar, they would not have been able to blow it up, because the radar was located inside the Tobruk Fortress, and the British would at most blow up the radar antenna on the fort.

The sirens sounded three times over Tobruk, each more rapid and each time more poignant, and Harold placed all the more than seventy captured anti-aircraft guns in the city of Tobruk.

The Germans had enough anti-aircraft guns, all the trophies brought by the British to the docks of Tobruk, and which were now assigned by Harold to the Libyan militia divisions.

Because Harold did not have such anti-aircraft artillery in his hands at all, he could only send the only artillery in his hands to the Libyans as instructors.

The people of the Libyan militia divisions were not trained in artillery at all, and these anti-aircraft guns had just been trained by German instructors for several hours.

The Libyans can fire the cannon now, and they will hear it, and as for these Libyans to hit the plane in the air, it will be up to the blind cat to meet the dead mouse.

After the third air raid siren, the British planes reached the skies over Tobruk, and Rommel had been observing the incoming British fleet with the "Eye of God".

When the British planes reached the skies over Tobruk, they split into two, with more than 100 of them heading towards the fortress of Tobruk and more than 100 heading towards the city of Tobruk.

It seems that the British army wants to launch air raids on the fortress and the city at the same time, but they only have a total of more than 100 bombers, so it is not wise to disperse and use the bombers that are not much!
