Although the officers and soldiers of the other army were not included in Klim's punishment list, some American prisoners of war learned of the fate of their comrades in the 2nd Army, fearing that they would also suffer the same bad luck and launched a riot, and all of them were suppressed on the spot by the Arab coalition forces that had been prepared for a long time, according to later statistics, more than 7,000 American prisoners of war died in this "Rashidiyah tragedy", plus the officers and soldiers of the 2nd Army who were buried alive before, a total of more than 45,000 American prisoners of war died.

Afterwards, Krim also invited the media in Europe (of course, mainly from the Axis countries such as Germany and Italy) to report on the cause and effect of the incident, which caused a huge wave on Shijie, but the reaction in the United States was different from what he expected, and the American congressmen were all excited about it, knowing that even when the United States was still very weak during the Revolutionary War, no enemy dared to treat captured American officers and soldiers like this, so the United States Congress rarely unanimously supported Roosevelt's increase in troops to North Africa. In particular, it is worth mentioning that Roosevelt also seized the opportunity of the general emotion of the congressmen and gentlemen, and took advantage of the opportunity to include the Soviet Union in the "Concession Act" aid objects, and Stalin's long-awaited American aid finally came, although because it took time to adjust production and transportation, and Roosevelt was also a little worried that the Soviet Union would not be able to hold on to collapse, and he needed to see the determination of the Soviets to resist first, so the first batch of aid to the Soviet Union could not arrive in the second quarter of 1943 at the earliest

The uproar in the United States against the "crimes" of Kerim and the Axis powers has kept Patton, the original trigger of the incident, from coming under too much attack, well. At first, some people sprayed him, but as a result, he was quickly taken down by the US media who obeyed the government's orders with the big hat of "traitor" such as "You actually speak for the enemy", so soon few people stopped holding on to the matter

In addition, Eisenhower believed that it was time to employ people, and Patton was a rare general, so he took a lot of responsibility to save Patton, for which Eisenhower was forced to return to China for questioning, and the post of commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in North Africa was taken over by the Englishman Montgomery. Incidentally, at about the same time that the captured officers and men of the U.S. 2nd Army were buried alive by order of Kerim, Montgomery led 160,000 British troops and 40,000 Commonwealth troops (including 30,000 Canadian troops and 10,000 British overseas territories or Commonwealth members on both sides of the Atlantic, such as South Africa). The formed reinforcements landed on the lands of North Africa. Because the British army was more numerous. Therefore, it is only natural that he should be the supreme commander of the Allied forces in North Africa

Montgomery's first thing when he arrived in North Africa was not to immediately counterattack, but to have 300,000 Allied troops desperately strengthen the fortifications, and it turned out that Klim wanted to pull out the nail and attacked. The Allies relied on the fortifications they had built to push the enemy back with great difficulty. Morale has been restored as a result. But to Eisenhower's displeasure, who had just returned from the United States as a deputy and brought in another 200,000 reinforcements. Although the total strength of the Allied forces in North Africa had increased to more than 600,000 (the British had increased their troops), Montgomery continued to strengthen the defense, the reason was to avoid the needless sacrifice of soldiers. The Allies must ensure absolute superiority in strength and firepower, and now the total number of Axis troops in North Africa is not less than one million, and the Allies must have at least 2 million men to start a counteroffensive, and he also said to Eisenhower, "You Americans will bury 200,000 troops because they are not cautious enough"

Eisenhower had been defeated once before, and his confidence was not enough after all, but he still argued with his reasoning, after all, if there were really 2 million troops piled up on this coast, the logistics supplies would all be transported by sea, which would cost too much, and you must know that the money was all from the US government! As a result, although Eisenhower tried his best, Montgomery still insisted that he must have more than 1 million troops, equipped with more than 3,000 aircraft, more than 5,000 tanks/armored vehicles/self-propelled guns, and at the same time ensure sufficient supplies before he could launch a large-scale counteroffensive, and once again exposed Eisenhower's scars, "Klim's regular army in North Africa is indeed only two or three hundred thousand, but under his leadership, the combat effectiveness of the North African militia is not weaker than that of the regular army. And there are also the 200,000 men of Rommel's Afrika Korps, which are all elite (Rommel is going to cry) regular troops! ”

However, Kerim and Rommel also hated Montgomery as well, and his tight defense, coupled with the strength of the Axis offensive forces (Note 1), was simply "a rat pulling a turtle and having no way to speak." ”。 And if the Allies continue to increase their forces like this, they will eventually be so strong that they can't compete with it, especially worrying, Montgomery is desperately building a field airfield, once all these are completed, a large number of Allied planes will soon be transferred here, the Axis in Morocco's already weakened air supremacy will be difficult to maintain, and the Allies will be like a tiger with wings, and it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future

Moreover, Montgomery did not just flinch from scratch, he also telegraphed to the British government to seize the opportunity of Kerim's return to Morocco to incite anti-Klim Shili in the Arab Commonwealth, especially in West Asia, and to provide them with weapons, ammunition, and personnel training (including military and espionage) support, with excellent results. The Saudi Wahhabi sect (which is now the main source of Islamic extremism in Shijie and even in China), which had been suppressed by Kerim, surged into an unprecedented large-scale rebellion with the remnants of the Saudi royal family deposed by Kerim, and was supported by a large number of tribal sheikhs in Saudi Arabia.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the shadows that they had previously infiltrated in the Krim army (mainly the garrison in West Asia) launched at the same time, resulting in many middle and high-ranking generals of the Arab League being assassinated and killed or wounded, and even a few of them were successfully rebelled by them, which plunged Kerim's army in West Asia into unprecedented chaos. Because the leaders of the rebel army have deep roots in West Asia, and Kerim himself is far away in Morocco at this time, and his subordinates do not have outstanding talents who can take charge on their own, many UAE garrisons are also deceived by them and turn against them, and even more troops are stabbed in the back by their comrades, and the situation is further out of control

Note 1: Although the North African militia and other volunteers from other places arrived in large numbers, the logistical capabilities of the Arab League determined that the Krim could only put a maximum of 300,000 people into the offensive at the same time, and this was still on the premise of saving as much ammunition as possible, although the military industry of the Arab Federation had been initially established at this time (to be continued......
