The successful capture of Cairo gave the Germans absolute initiative on the African battlefield.

Ernst. Baron Bream has completed a new miracle of his own here. And then came the even better news:

The Germans successfully captured Iran.

When the main forces of the Soviet and British armies were pinned down on all fronts, the German offensive in Iran could only be described as overwhelming.

They did not meet with much resistance in Iran.

Now, the entire battlefield has been connected according to Wang Weiyi's previous vision. Not only in Africa, but the whole course of the war was in the hands of the Germans.

The abundant resources will provide the German army with the continuity of the war, and the continuous victories will keep the morale of the German soldiers high, and the defeat of Africa, and the once proud British Empire will have to bow their once high heads, the suggestions of the Americans can be considered:

Let Baron Alexon make an unofficial secret visit to England, just as he had done in the United States before

The British were still considering it, but Wang Weiyi knew that they would eventually agree. At the moment, his main enemy is no longer Britain, but the giant polar bear

Although Egypt had fallen into the hands of the Germans, it was not so calm, and there was so much to deal with.

General Khamlemu, who had played a major role in the war, was appointed the new Minister of Defense by Farouk I, and he took full control of Egypt.

And General Krem, who took office, also showed absolute loyalty to Germany. A number of secret agreements of German-Egyptian cooperation were being urgently discussed.

On November 20, 1942, Egypt announced its secession from the Allies and joined the Axis powers, led by Germany. And on the same day declared war on all the countries of the Central Powers.

Egypt became Germany's new ally, just like Turkey at the beginning

On the 21st, Iran announced its secession from the Allies and joined the Axis powers, and at the same time declared war on all the countries of the Allies.

The power of the Axis powers was rapidly expanding

The luckiest of all was probably Farouk I, who had kept his throne. And there was no accountability.

In fact, the reason is very simple, at present, Germany still needs Farouk I to continue to sit in this position.

Farouk I's only request was to protect his throne and possessions, among other things. He was absolutely unwilling to bother, but the king of Egypt was extremely surprised, and the "Baron Andrew" who had played a game with him was actually the famous Baron Alexon

It was a surprise.

And Queen Farida's surprise was no less than that of her husband, and it was Baron Skeleton who spent a romantic night with her. Oh, my God. He was so young and charismatic.

Her husband is a pig compared to him.

Now that Queen Farida's displeasure with the worst of her "encounters" that night had been thrown out of the clouds, she looked forward to when she would see the young and charming baron again

It's a pity that Wang Weiyi doesn't have the heart to think about these things for the time being, and there are more important things to solve.

The "Egyptian officer corps" played a large role in the Egyptian mutiny, but when the mutiny ended, this officer corps was not immediately disbanded.

The great uprising that broke out in Egypt made General Khamlemu the object of worship of all Egyptians. Even the prestige of the Egyptian officer corps has been greatly boosted.

Colonel Tamusta, in particular, was even described by some as "General Cumlemu Jr."

In Egypt, where politics got reshuffled. Tamusta was promoted to major general and appointed deputy chief of the general staff in Egypt, which increased his personal prestige.

However, he did not trust the Germans very much

It's not good, and it's bad.

On several occasions, Tamusta has openly commented that the Germans were not much different from the British, and that they were just as ambitious about Egypt as they were trying to colonize the country, which had a long history and a splendid civilization.

Khamlemu warned him more than once, but Tamusta did not care at all and went his own way, which of course caused strong dissatisfaction among the Germans.

There were also companions in the Egyptian officer corps who repeatedly persuaded the officer, who had just been promoted to deputy chief of the general staff, and now that he was a high-ranking officer in the Egyptian military, that he could not speak so openly, but Tamusta told them:

"It seems to me that Egypt has not been given real freedom at all, we don't need the British here, we don't need the Germans here, Egypt, it will be governed by the Egyptians themselves, and not by some foreign country"

"However, the Germans helped us drive out the British, and now they seem to be relatively friendly."

"I would never trust the Germans." In the face of his companion's doubts, Tamusta said solemnly: "If Germany is sincere in helping Egypt, then they should withdraw their troops as soon as the British are driven out, instead of coercing and inducing Egypt to join their Axis powers, which is to push Egypt from an already ended war to another ongoing war." ”

"I know what you're thinking, but now that the Germans are very powerful here, you better be careful what you say."

"For the sake of true freedom in Egypt, I will not hesitate to shed my blood again." This was Tamusta's last answer to his companions

"Did he really say that he would not hesitate to shed blood again for the sake of Egypt's freedom?" Looking at the information on the table, Wang Weiyi asked lightly.

"Yes, that's what he said." Major Wattle said respectfully: "The information is very certain. ”

Wang Weiyi's gaze swept over the papers on the table: "What do you think, Colonel Fels?" ”

"Tamusta and his Egyptian officer corps, now with great prestige in Cairo, are also a great threat to us." Colonel Firth said without hesitation: "And he has repeatedly criticized Germany in public, and just yesterday at a ball held by Farouk I, he even accused us in front of a German colonel, and asked us loudly why we did not immediately withdraw from Egypt, which made the atmosphere very tense and embarrassing. ”

Rommel frowned dissatisfiedly: "I don't understand what such a person should do with him." Ernst, deal with him, or he'll always be a threat. ”

"Do you really think he's a threat?" Wang Weiyi laughed strangely at this time: "Yes, he does have a certain prestige in Egypt, but he is a political idiot. He didn't know how to hide his thoughts, and not only did he offend Germany, but he would soon offend all the people around him, such as Kannelemu or Farouk, I really can't think of anything terrible about such people, but on the contrary, he gave us an opportunity. ”

Several German officers glanced at each other, not feeling that there was any chance of this

"Major Watel, keep a close eye on the movements of Tamusta and the Egyptian officer corps." Wang Weiyi said lightly.

"Yes, Marshal."

"Erwin, the appointment in Berlin has come down." Wang Weiyi handed a telegram to Rommel: "You are considered commander-in-chief of the German forces in Africa, and you will have all the rights in this area, congratulations, Field Marshal Rommel." ”

"Hey, Ernst, are you canceling me?" Rommel laughed: "What's next?" Did you stand still in Egypt? ”

Wang Weiyi shook his head: "In Egypt, after we completely defeat the allies, the strength that Africa can resist is running out, you can choose the next target for attack, but I personally suggest that you stabilize the situation in Egypt first, and use political pressure to force those African countries that are still enemies with us to choose to cooperate with us Erwin, war is not the main thing, sometimes political pressure is far more useful than hundreds of thousands of troops." ”

"Good thing, Ernst." Rommel put away the telegram: "What about those Italians? They were yelling all day, and even Mussolini was on his way to Cairo. ”

Italy, which had often behaved extremely clumsily in the war, could not wait to join in the ranks of dividing the fruits of victory after the war was won.

They are constantly claiming benefits in Africa, and they have always regarded Africa as their own land. They thought that the Germans should fight for them, and that when the victory was over, the Germans should leave and Italy alone would digest the victory.

Mussolini, on the other hand, couldn't wait to fulfill his "dream":

Enter Cairo under the protection of a large number of Italian soldiers and receive the cheers of all the Egyptians like an emperor. Without consulting Germany, Mussolini had already left for Cairo and decided to "meet" Ernst. Marshal Braem, expressing the "gratitude" of the Italians, of course, the main purpose is to see his new "territory"

"When will this leader of ours arrive in Cairo?" Wang Weiyi asked nonchalantly.

"Tomorrow, probably in the afternoon, we will be able to reach the Italian barracks, and we will decide to enter Cairo at 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow, and for this reason the Italians are consulting with us how to meet their leader, and in the most magnificent way possible." Rommel said rather dissatisfied.

"He's coming, so let him come." Wang Weiyi unexpectedly said something like this: "If he wants a grand welcome ceremony, then I can also give it to him." ”

Rommel was a little confused, this was not Ernst's usual style, could it be that Egypt, which was captured by German soldiers with blood and sweat, was just given to the Italians?

No, Ernst wouldn't have done that, he might have other plans.

Ernst. Bramm, of course, would not do this, and he decided to give Mussolini a special welcome ceremony! (To be continued......)
