Chapter 91 Expeditionary Force

"Archibald, since the beginning of the war, more than a thousand people have lost contact with each other, and there are more than twenty tanks, and we have not received any useful information, what do you say? The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info "A well-dressed British Army officer complained disgruntled to another. It can be seen that he has a little complaint, if it weren't for the lack of blue-hat political security personnel in the British Army, his safety would be a little dangerous based on him alone.

As for this Archibald, it is naturally Archibald, the famous Viscount of Wavell of Cyrenaica in history. Percival. Field Marshal Wavell is up. And the identity of the person who dares to complain to Marshal Viscount Wavell and can still call him by name is naturally not simple, he is Hadro, Count of Alexandria of Tunis and Nice. Field Marshal Alexander.

Of course, the two of them are neither lords nor field marshals now, Lord Wavell is still only a small major general, and Lord Alexander is even more miserable, only mixed into the position of a colonel, and he doesn't even think about the title or something. It seems that this seniority in the army in peacetime is really a painful thing.

Historically, this Count Alexander Marshal was promoted to major general in 1939, lieutenant general in 1940, and directly to marshal in 1944. Marshal Viscount Wavell was in a similar situation, he was only promoted to lieutenant general in 1938, but in 1943 he became a field marshal, and like Lord Alexander, he was all "over-promoted" by the east wind of war. If this speed of promotion was known to the elites of the Imperial Japanese Army, eighty percent would be envious and jealous to death -- in the Japanese army, which was extremely serious in terms of seniority, it was not easy to be promoted to one rank, otherwise there would not have been any staff officers of the Tianjin garrison army who took advantage of the serious illness of Lieutenant General Tashiro Wanichiro, commander of the garrison army, to launch the Lugou Bridge Incident without authorization, but they already wanted to be promoted and wanted to go crazy. Even so, it is still very rare for Japanese officers to be promoted so quickly like the two lords during the war, and the most common way to get promoted easily is probably to be posthumously promoted, which is really a sad story.

And these two lords of the empire on which the sun never sets will appear here at an inopportune time, and they can say such a thing, obviously they are not randomly crossed. In fact, these two masters were the spearheads sent by the great British Empire to conquer this parallel plane.

If it was the British Empire in history, of course, it would not have this strength. The ******** British Empire, tossed by the world economic crisis, was of course primarily aimed at reviving the economy. But this Britain has obtained some black technology, firmly maintains the first position in the world, does not need to share any sea power with the North American nouveau riche United States, and does not need to shrink its sphere of influence in the Far East, not to mention the shrinkage of industry led by the shipbuilding industry, and even the atomic bomb has been the first to be successfully manufactured, and life is really tight. It seems that even if it continues to be a hundred years of hegemony, it will not be a problem.

But it's such a beautiful empire, but it's like a broken brain, and they have to let these soldiers open up unknown colonies in the distance, uh, in fact, they also know a little bit, the parallel world, the British Empire still has this kind of black technology, even this black technology is not so black, at least it can not be guaranteed to be connected with any plane, and it has to bear the rejection of the plane, if it weren't for the permission of the president of the government-in-exile some time ago, they want to move freely here, but they don't even think about it, The will of the world will naturally mobilize all living beings, including countless zombies, to destroy them at all costs. To this world, these outsiders are like viruses, and of course, the reincarnation is similar, and it is more virulent than them.

Then again, it wouldn't have been much better if the British Empire had control over which planes it was connected to, and even in the early 19th century, the old infantry who were still using smoothbore guns to fight the line were completely beaten by them. Well, of course, now it seems that they were beaten by the reincarnators and the lost group.

But well, of course, this is not much of a problem, the dead are all British and Indian troops, this Anglo-Saxon uncle will naturally not cry for the death of such a few Indian "money men", anyway, this pound is also the world currency, and there will be a steady stream of wealth by brushing, and it is no longer cost-effective to recruit some Indian cannon fodder to consume, this India that is constantly clamoring for independence is not a good India, Although the root cause of this kind of thing is that the British themselves have nothing to do and toss a unified Indian nation, the British will naturally not admit it. And now they are implementing the Sikh Imperial Seal, which is not completely ineffective, because the two are always contradictory, not to mention that there is a genuine British army from Britain behind the subsequent bombing?

Lord Alexander, who was still a colonel, was in charge of an Anglo-Indian brigade, and Lord Wavell was the chief of staff of the newly formed expeditionary force. The commander of the expeditionary officer was Archibald. Amal. Montgomery. Sir Massin Bent, this man is a proper British Army general, and his level is so high that he does not know where to go. As for the famous William. Joseph. Colonel Slim served as the deputy chief of the general staff of the expeditionary force, and this lord was also a famous figure who was later made a viscount, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a military god.

In addition to these three lords who will be famous in history, the lord who will come out with him this time also has a lord who is more famous than the three of them combined-Bernard. Toil. Sir Montgomery. This Montgomery also led an Anglo-Indian brigade on the recommendation of Lord Wavell and set out with him.

This expeditionary force is really full of talents, but I don't know how many excellent non-commissioned officers and lieutenants are really graduates of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and how many people have been sent over to gild.

Of course, Major General Wavell did not know about this issue, and he was struggling with other problems. The entire expeditionary force, or the vanguard in the hands of Commander Wavell, was only about 30,000 men, and the 1st Infantry Brigade of the Home Army would never participate in the battle, which was used to suppress the British and Indian troops. The available troops are no more than a mere Indian Fifth Division and the Indian Tenth Division, which are still temporarily combined, and there is no tacit understanding at all. In addition to this, it was an armored regiment assigned to him with the name of a cavalry regiment.

The equipment of this armored regiment is not very good, it is equipped with a cruiser tank that looks very strange in modern thinking, and it is also a particularly early MK2 cruiser tank, and more than 20 have been damaged, this armored regiment can not be counted on.

Moreover, although Britain's industrial capacity did not care about the destruction of a mere twenty tanks, these tanks were built anyway on the people's taxes, and it was a complete waste of taxpayers' money to destroy them so easily, and it was extremely wrong to report to the Secretary of War and completely remove the junk chariots.

However, before that, it would be better for him to think about whether the expeditionary force under his command will be better in the future, because at this rate of loss, his men will soon be out of soldiers...
