The White House, the Oval Office, the trio is overwhelmed by the overwhelming influx of the latest war reports on the Allied battlefield. "Even, Leak! Damn the British, they're still calculating at this juncture! "Damn the fat man, is his vision really only that little bit long?"

"Don't they know the importance of North Africa? Once the Germans occupied the Suez Canal, cut off supply lines, and took control of the Mediterranean, would they be able to hold on to the British Isles? "There are so many pieces of paper on my desk that I can't tell you how much paper you have, whether it's North Africa, the Soviet Union, Asia, or the West Coast of the continental United States, all of them are bad news, and it's strange that President Roosevelt could be happy.

After gaining a new force of 2 million troops, Rommel has been pushing and crushing the Anglo-French army in the past few months, defeating the British and French forces with heavy casualties. At present, the German-Italian army led by Rommel Rommel, the desert fox, has reached the El Alamein area, 350 kilometers from Cairo, the capital of Egypt, and is getting closer and closer to the Suez Canal, and the whole of Egypt is crumbling.

Once the Germans occupied Egypt and took control of the Suez Canal, they would not only destroy Britain's Mediterranean shipping routes, but also allow the Middle East, India, and Oceania to forcibly bypass most of Africa and go to Britain proper. The Germans could also gain further control of the Mediterranean, and they could also threaten the USSR on the flanks, and the whole world landscape would change dramatically.

At that time, not only will the Soviet Union not be able to continue to receive military assistance from the United States, but the supply lines of life for the British will be cut off, and even if the Americans try their best to transfuse blood to the British, they will not be able to make the British Isles healthy. You must know that the "wolf pack tactics" of German submarines are not a joke, in order to transfuse blood to the British Isles, the United States has to transport aid to London through the Atlantic, and it has already paid a huge price.

Roosevelt really could not imagine the catastrophic consequences of the complete loss of control of the Mediterranean once the Suez Canal was controlled by the Germans. In fact, Roosevelt's roar and criticism are mainly venting emotions, with a strong subjective meaning, not that the British do not pay attention to Egypt, do not know what the Suez Canal means, but the strength does not allow it, the British have indeed done their best.

You must know that under the difficult situation at home, Churchill really worked hard and constantly sent a total of more than 500,000 expeditionary troops into Egypt to ensure the safety of the Suez Canal. Churchill was able to grit his teeth and send more than 600,000 expeditionary forces one after another, which is already the current limit of the British Isles' endurance strength, and any more will be broken! In the past few months, the US-British coalition forces that have been forced into a corner can be said to have resorted to all means to resist desperately.

At the cost of heavy casualties and serious material losses, with the strong support of the United States and the continuous attacks on the German supply lines by the British Royal Navy and Air Force, coupled with the lack of oil resources in Germany, Rommel's footsteps could only be temporarily stopped. The two sides have temporarily formed a standoff near El Alamein in Egypt, and are constantly engaged in a war of attrition and positional warfare, and the war situation in North Africa is still grim and abnormal.

At present, Germany's main source of oil is Romania, which produces about 10 million tons of oil every year, which basically feeds Germany's war machine. The oil production of Germany's coastal provinces is only 500,000 tons per year, and the maximum production capacity of coal-to-liquid is 5 million tons per year, while the current annual oil consumption in Germany requires about 12 million tons of oil supply.

Unfortunately, Romania's oil production capacity has reached its limit, which is not enough to change the overall situation of the German oil shortage. And because Germany's strategic center of gravity was still in the Soviet Union, most of its oil production was used on the Soviet battlefield. As a result, although the German army in the North African theater was strong, equipped with a large number of motorized infantry divisions, armored divisions and air power, the shortage of fuel was a great bottleneck.

At the same time, the poor performance of the Italian army of the pigs teammates is also very important. In the eyes of the German army, the Italian army is a "pig teammate" who "fights soy sauce" and will be defeated in every battle. Not to mention the Italian side, whether it is poor weapons and equipment, or the troops don't want to fight, etc., anyway, it's the kind of "pig teammates" who don't want to die!

In addition, there is another important reason why Rommel's African Panzer Corps, which is unprecedentedly powerful, could not break through Egypt's control of the Suez Canal in one fell swoop, that is, the Germans trusted their own cipher system too much. The German army's Enigma machine can be said to be the most advanced cryptographic system at present, it has a complex algorithm structure and encryption measures, it is not easy to imitate and crack, once became the pride of the Germans, they are very confident in their own invention.

As everyone knows, the United Kingdom has already mastered this cryptographic system through years of research. As a result, Germany's intelligence was almost transparent, and it was also thanks to Rommel who often "did not follow orders and forbidden", and liked to play cards out of common sense, otherwise where would he have the reputation of the desert fox and the invincible record.

However, in terms of logistics and transportation, for example, the Afrika Korps sea supply line is the responsibility of the Italian Navy, and the supply of oil is the responsibility of Germany. Due to the cracked cipher system, supplies delivered by sea were often intercepted, making it extremely difficult for the Afrika Korps to resupply. However, because Germany and Italy did not trust each other and looked down on each other, there was a phenomenon of mutual blame and prevarication between the two, and Rommel even believed that it was a traitor from within Italy who betrayed the intelligence.

As a result, the serious problem of the cryptosystem being cracked has been well concealed. "Your Excellency, the final question at present is how to win the battle of El Alamein, we can no longer afford to lose!" Marshall frowned, if it weren't for the German-Italian coalition army because the supply line was too long and the mechanized troops lacked fuel, I am afraid that Egypt would have fallen long ago, and even Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries behind it had also fallen one by one.

In the original history, the Battle of El Alamein was an attack by the British Eighth Army under the command of Montgomery against the German and Italian forces of the African Panzer Corps under the command of Rommel. In this battle, the two armies fought fiercely for 12 days, and finally the British led Allied forces won, and the German and Italian forces were forced to retreat to the Tunisian border, which dashed the hopes of Nazi Germany and the Kingdom of Italy to occupy Egypt, control the Suez Canal, and occupy the strategically rich Middle East. This battle completely turned the tide of the North African theater and became a turning point in the North African theater of World War II.

However, in the current time and space, it is completely reversed, the active attacker is Rommel's North African Army, and the Anglo-American coalition army is a trembling passive retreat defense, and does not dare to take the initiative to attack at all. As soon as he heard this, Roosevelt's anger could not be suppressed again, and he shouted loudly: "What can you do if you can't afford to lose?" What else can we do? "The United States of America, under such difficult circumstances, has sent a full 150,000 expeditionary forces to aid a huge amount of strategic supplies!

The American people have long tightened their belts and have already paid too much for the aggression of the anti-fascist alliance! Without waiting for Marshall to reply, Roosevelt asked angrily, "Isn't the American army armed?" Don't the people of America need to eat? Doesn't the United States of America need to be defended? ”

"Your Excellency, please stop your anger!" Secretary Hull placed a cup of freshly brewed coffee on the desk in front of Roosevelt and said in a deep voice, "Maybe we can think of a way from the Burma war zone!" "Tear down the east wall and make up the west wall? In order to stabilize the North African battlefield and abandon the Asian theater? ”

President Roosevelt glared and said: "But you have to make it clear that once China is defeated and surrendered, the Japanese will be able to obtain a large amount of population resources and war resources in a short period of time and quickly become powerful, and from then on, Japan can unscrupulously go north to flank the Soviet Union, and even land in North America to attack the United States!" That would be a truly stupid decision, and it would undoubtedly only quench your thirst! "Your Excellency President, I didn't mean that, how could I give up the Burma theater at this time?"

Seeing that Roosevelt was about to eat people, Hull hurriedly explained: "The Battle of Burma, the defeat of the Chinese Expeditionary Force has been decided, and the industrial area in northern Myanmar must be transferred as soon as possible!" We can let the remnants of the Chinese Expeditionary Force temporarily retreat to India, in order to ...... "Knock knock, before Hull could finish speaking, a rush of footsteps came from far and near.

President Roosevelt's brows were immediately twisted, and as soon as he heard the sound of his hurried and panicked footsteps, he could guess that there must be some very urgent battlefield intelligence coming, and it was very likely to be extremely bad news. "Your Excellency! General Stilwell in the Burma Theater of Operations is in an emergency! The beautiful secretary rushed into the office at great speed, and set off a storm in the violent shaking.

"Even-bought karma! Don't tell me Rangoon is lost? The Chinese Expeditionary Force was defeated on all fronts? Although the scenery is beautiful, where did President Roosevelt have such a leisurely and leisurely mind, and his mind was full of miserable images of defeat.

"No, no, no! Your Excellency, you misunderstood! The secretary waved her hand again and again, panting and said, "It's good news, great news!" At 4 a.m. local time on June 25, the Burma Theater launched a comprehensive strategic counteroffensive against the Japanese invading forces. Up to now, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has achieved a complete victory, annihilating more than 240,000 Japanese invaders, shooting down more than 1,400 Japanese planes, and sinking 14 ships of various types,...... ""Quick, show me!" ”

As soon as Roosevelt heard this, he immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, his eyes widened, and he unceremoniously snatched the telegram from the secretary's hand and read it with gusto. "What? How is this possible? Hull, who was sitting on the side, was directly blindfolded, looked at the secretary with wide eyes, and asked, "You didn't see a joke, did you?" ”

This slap in the face came too quickly, and I was thinking about the maximum use of waste a second ago, but a second later, this "waste" gave me a shocking joy. "yes, how is that possible? Didn't you say yesterday that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was about to collapse and that it was about to withdraw to India? Marshall was also stunned, looking at the secretary in a daze, this news was too unexpected, completely beyond expectations and imagination.

"Ness! Ness! Ness! After watching it several times in a row, Roosevelt finally breathed a long sigh of relief and called three yes in a row. Well, say the important thing three times, and there's nothing wrong with it. Immediately afterward, Marshall and Hull also scrambled to watch. Soon the faces of the two of them became ruddy, their eyes became bright, and even the whole person began to tremble.

Although the slap in the face came quickly and sharply, the body's reaction was always so honest! I have to say: this thing is really fragrant! While the two were still studying with relish, President Roosevelt proudly picked up his coffee and couldn't help laughing: "Damn dead fat man, there should be nothing to say now, right?" Marshall and Hull blushed slightly, even though they both knew that President Roosevelt was scolding the British for being short-sighted and had always criticized the United States' efforts to aid the Burma theater of operations.

But they still have the embarrassment of being accused of being scolded by Sang! Who told them that they have always been optimistic about the Burma theater of operations, and have been instigating President Roosevelt to quickly relocate the industrial zone built with his aid to India?

This is the response to "don't do bad things in your life, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night"! After digesting the message, Marshall said in a brisk tone: "This has to be said, it is great news, we no longer have to worry about the problems in the Burma war zone!" The Southeast Asian battlefield has finally seen a historic turning point, which is also a great encouragement to the Allies around the world. ”

Hull also said with a smile: "The damned Japanese invaders have finally been punished, so that the attention of the Japanese government will be firmly attracted, and they will not make plans to land in North America in the short term!" "I hope so!" President Roosevelt nodded, since the fall of the Hawaiian Islands, the collapse of the Pacific Fleet, and especially the beginning of the Japanese Combined Fleet's attacks on port cities on the West Coast, he has become more and more worried that the crazy Japanese military government will make even more crazy moves!

It was feared that the Japanese invaders would land in the sparsely populated Canada and then march east to attack the continental United States. Hull continued: "Your Excellency, since the Burma Theater is now safe, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to transfer strategic materials from the Burma Theater to the North African front?" President Roosevelt shook his head and said: "Theoretically, this is true, but the price paid by the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Burma Theater this time is extremely huge, and they need to be restored and replenished even more at this moment."

If we had proposed at this time that the Burma theater feed back the North African battlefield, had you ever thought about the negative consequences? What will the Chinese allies think? After a pause, Roosevelt continued: "Besides, do you think that the Japanese invaders will not be able to continue to increase the Burma troops just by eliminating the Burmese troops?" What if the Japanese government is ruthless and decisive enough to increase its troops in Burma now? ”

"This!" Heldon was speechless, just thinking that the North African battlefield was already in danger, just thinking that the Suez Canal must not be lost, and really not thinking carefully about the current situation in the Burma theater and the problems that it was about to face. "That's it! This issue will be considered later, and the top priority at the moment is to let the Burma theater pass through the dangerous period as soon as possible and let them recover as soon as possible, so that the Japanese invaders can be greatly contained and the pressure on the United States can be greatly reduced. ”

Roosevelt waved his hand and said: "In the short term, we should not expect too much on the Burma theater, the North African battlefield still has to rely on the United States and Britain to do it, although the German Army is strong, but our superiority in sea and air is enough to make up for the shortcomings!" Marshall nodded and agreed: "What Your Excellency the President said is extremely true! In addition to the actual strategic needs, the Allies are indeed in great need of a touch of color to boost morale, and they need to really open up the situation from a battlefield! ”

"That's right, then let's discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity to open up the situation in the Asian battlefield!" Jiang is still old and spicy, and although President Roosevelt was born as a politician, his strategic vision is still very unique. ……

Mengxiu Town, the underground command post of the headquarters of the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, the commander of the Devil Division, Mitsuru Ushijima, the chief of staff of the division, Kiyojiro Uemura, and the commander of the 12th Infantry Wing, Takeshi Yamanaka, and other high-ranking officials of the devil gathered together. At this time, the sky was completely dark, but the remnants of the 11th Division, which was deeply encircled, did not dare to use lamps and bonfires for lighting, so that the entire devil camp in Mengxiu Town was shrouded in dark night, without a little light.

It was also at the underground command post of the headquarters of the Devil Division that the Devil officers dared to light the fuel lamps for lighting. The head of the Devil Division, Niu Dao, was as black as the bottom of a pot, and said with an extremely serious expression: "Gentlemen, I have just received a telegram from the General Headquarters of the Burmese Dispatch Army, the Southern Route Army of the Burmese Dispatch Army has completely failed, the 15th Army and the 20th Army have almost been wiped out, and the remnants of the 19th Army have broken through into the primeval jungle of the Benlong Mountain Range. And our 18th Army, at present, only our 11th Division and the 42nd Division are divided and surrounded, and now we are already in a desperate situation, and it is absolutely impossible for reinforcements to come to our rescue!

The Chinese army is now besieging but not attacking, they are just waiting for the best time to fight, maybe tomorrow dawn, maybe the day after tomorrow, it is the moment when we will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"Alas!" "Yaga!" "Dead, dead!" "Is there really no hope for us?" The devil officers had already known the news before, but they still couldn't help but sigh for a long time at this moment. None of them thought that this time they would send troops to Myanmar to end up with such a result, let alone that the entire Burmese army would be finished. For a while, pessimism and despair raged wildly in everyone's hearts, just like poisonous snakes tearing at the internal organs, making people uncomfortable to die and live!

Kiyojiro Uemura then added: "The infantry groups of the Chinese army surrounded us, but they never attacked, not because they were incapable of attacking, but because they were waiting for armored clusters, combat aircraft, and more heavy firepower. "The serious problem is that not only do we have no air force support, but we also don't have enough artillery to counteract, and at the same time, we are in the plains, and there is no danger to defend at all!"

After a pause, Uemura Kiyojiro said in an extremely solemn tone: "Once they are mobilized with enough heavy firepower, at that time, we will not even be able to see the face of the Chinese infantry, and we will be killed and wounded under the saturation bombardment of aircraft, tanks, and artillery!" These damn Chinese infantrymen, they are simply a group of despicable and sinister cowards, and they don't dare to fight to the death with the Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire in an upright manner! Hearing this, Wing Commander Yamanaka Wuding seemed to understand something, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we must not sit still like this!"

He believes that we should immediately launch a counter-charge while the Imperial Army still has strength and fighting spirit! Only in this way can we inflict enough damage on the Huaxia army, and the collective jade fragments of the Imperial Army will be more valuable! ”

"Hello! I think it should be so too! "Your Excellency, General, please give orders!" "The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire can only die on the way to the charge!"

The devil officers were all red-eyed, and in despair, they all wanted to go crazy at the end. Looking at the silent Ushijima, Uemura Kiyojiro said in a deep voice: "Ushijima-kun, the situation is already obvious, it is impossible for the base camp to send reinforcements to Myanmar in a short time. And our 11th and 42nd divisions have very little ammunition reserves and rations left, and even if we hold our positions any longer, we will not be able to hold out for a few days.

When the imperial soldiers were hungry for a few days, and there was no need for the Chinese army to launch a general attack, the imperial soldiers would not even have the strength to resist. Yamanaka Wuding said with a hideous face: "Your Excellency General, while there is still a small amount of ammunition, while the physical strength of the imperial soldiers has not been exhausted, launch a last counterattack!" "I agree!"

Kiyojiro Uemura nodded and said, "Instead of continuing to defend to the death, it is better to fight to the death, choose a weak point in defense, invest all your forces, and launch a fierce attack at any cost until the gap is opened!" Ushijima sighed and said, "What if you can't open it?" Will the Huaxia army give us this opportunity? Uemura Kiyojiro laughed miserably: "Then let us all die on the way to the charge, and sacrifice our lives for His Majesty the Emperor and the Japanese Empire!" Yamanaka Wuding nodded again and agreed: "Your Excellency General, there is no other choice but to fight to the death!" The warriors of the Great Japanese Empire could only die on the way to the charge. ”

"Alright! Then let's fight to the death and launch a final counterattack to see if the Huaxia Army will keep us forever, or if we can really succeed in the encirclement. "So far, Ushijima Mitsuya can only jump over the wall in a hurry, and it really doesn't make sense to continue to hold on.

After a pause, Kiyojiro Uemura said to a communications staff officer: "In addition, tell the 42nd Division of our decision, and let them act with us, so that the success rate will be higher." "Hello!" The head of the devil's communication staff was ordered, and he made up for it by the way: "I believe that they will make the same choice as us, and the warriors of the Great Japanese Empire will never sit still!" ”

"Shw! Let the Imperial warriors have eaten and drunk enough, and when it is late at night, let's get moving! In any case, the warriors of the empire can only die in the way of the charge! Ushijima waved his hand weakly, and gave the most reluctant battle order in his life! However, it is clear that all this was in vain! Jiang Qiang had long expected that the devils would jump over the wall in a hurry, how could he give them a chance to escape and ascend to heaven, an impenetrable defensive net was waiting for this group of desperate devils to throw themselves into the net.
