"Really? Is your Huaxia Air Force very strong, hehe, why can't I see it? Ted glanced back at Li Jinglin, still looking down on people and being beaten, and sneered disdainfully: "It's a good thing for young people to have self-confidence, but blind self-confidence can only make your Huaxia Air Force die an ugly death." "That can only mean that you are old and dizzy, and you are blind!" Hearing this, Li Jinglin's temper finally couldn't help it.

Since Burma, he has seen the British unpleasantly, not to mention that after arriving at the North African battlefield, the two sides have had a very unpleasant quarrel, and until now his own head office has been harassed by these British Yankees in every way. Old sorrow and new hatred, so after the outbreak of the small universe at this moment, Li Jinglin was not polite to the British, and said ruthlessly: "You only saw your so-called Royal Air Force pilots being beaten by the Luftwaffe and crying dad and mother, but you pretended not to see that our pilots of the Huaxia Shandong Group Army had already beaten the Japanese Air Force to a nervous breakdown on the Huaxia battlefield and the Burma battlefield, crying and shouting for Dad." ”

Hearing this sharp rhythm, Ted suddenly became unhappy, stared at Li Jinglin and said, "Are you flouting the British Royal Air Force?" "Yes!" Li Jinglin nodded very honestly and said unabashedly: "But so what? Isn't what I'm saying the truth? "Even-shet!" Ted suddenly became furious and said, "You hateful Chinese guy, you dare to defy the British Royal Air Force? How dare you desecrate the dignity of the royal family of the British Empire! ”

"The British Imperial Family? Hehe. Li Jinglin did not panic at all, and continued to speak venomously: "That's right, that's your royal family, not the royal family of our Chinese people." In our China, this decadent and backward thing has been swept into the garbage heap of history, and only you, the British Empire, are still on their knees. "Oh, Fark!" This face was really hard to beat, Ted immediately exploded, and roared loudly: "You damn Huaxia, you must pay a heavy price for your arrogance and ignorance!" ”

"Put away your useless anger and pitiful pride." "If you want to be treated with dignity and respect, you should go to the Germans and not from your allies," Li said. Ted said angrily: "Even if your Huaxia Air Force takes advantage of the Japanese, how can you prove anything?" Has your Chinese army fought a war with the German army, and has it won against the German army? There was a big disparity between the German army and the Japanese army, you know? ”

"Yes, you're right." Li Jinglin did not deny it, nodded and said: "It is true that our Burmese army has not fought with the German army, but we have been fighting with the Japanese army for many years. Although we have paid a lot of costs, the results we have obtained are far greater than our costs, and which time is not a big victory.

And what about you British troops? Your British army, navy, and air force have fought against the Japanese army many times in the Asian theater, but what results have you achieved? General Ted, aren't you very proud, why don't you say it out loud for everyone to hear? "Ahem, ahem!" Ted was dumbfounded, for he couldn't answer

Of course, the British and Japanese fought each other in the Asian theater, and far more than once or twice. However, its results can only be described as dismal, especially the army, which was simply abused by the Japanese army, and simply lost all the face of the British Empire. With such a dismal result, where does Ted have the face to say it out loud at this moment! With Ted speechless, this sudden quarrel was naturally a winner. “……”

After scolding the army and the navy, and after scolding the navy and the air force, Jiang Qiang and others are simply the rhythm of fighting invincible opponents all over the world! Barton, Stilwell, Cunningham and the others all watched helplessly at what was happening in front of them. They are tired of listening to such quarrels and sharp criticisms, and they don't want to listen to them anymore. As the brothers of the Anglo-Saxon family, these British and American generals naturally wanted to be firmly united, to be able to "fight the enemy" together, and to trample all these strong and nasty Chinese people under their feet.

But this thought can only be thought about, they no longer have the courage to go toe-to-toe with Jiang Qiang and others, who calls them inferior to others. To be honest, they really couldn't understand why the Huaxia country, which had been poor and weak for many years, suddenly appeared with such a demon-level Huaxia commander, and the Huaxia Shandong Group Army, which was so powerful that they couldn't find any tricky angle to turn defeat into victory.

Invulnerable, invulnerable! After a while, Patton opened his mouth to break the deadlock and said: "I agree with Deputy Commander-in-Chief Jiang's point of view, the Shandong Group Army and the Central Army of China are not the same thing, and their performance in the domestic battlefield in China and the battlefield in Burma can only be described as amazing. "In particular, their air force is far superior to the US Air Force in combat effectiveness, and our US Air Force was defeated by a group of second-rate pilots of the Japanese army in the Pacific theater."

"However, their air force defeated the most elite pilots of the Japanese army in the Asian theater, so that these proud Japanese military high-ranking officials did not dare to fight their air force head-on." "Therefore, I have no doubt that air supremacy in the North African theater must belong to the Allies, and the final victory must also belong to the Allies, there is no doubt about that." Ted's pupils constricted, and he looked at Barton incredulously and said, "General Patton, is this true?" Is the Burmese Air Force really that powerful? ”

"Yes, that's exactly what it is." Patton nodded seriously, and then said, "In addition, I would like to tell you the good news, our latest American P-47 Thunderbolt fighter and P-51 Mustang fighter will soon join the North African battlefield. When the time comes, the Messersmit BF-109 fighters of the Luftwaffe will soon lose their technological superiority. ”

The BF-109 fighter (also known as: Me-109) is a German single-seat, single-engine, single-wing all-metal piston fighter, one of the main fighters of the Nazi Luftwaffe during World War II, and one of the light fighters with the best comprehensive performance during World War II. The BF-109 fighter belongs to the new generation of fighters, with a maximum flight speed of 710 kilometers per hour, and its performance is far above that of the Zero fighter, which is the most widely used military aircraft of the Axis Air Force. In 1941, the Bf-109 fighter began to support the Rommel Corps in North Africa, and the ace pilot Marseilleu, known as the "Star of Africa", once set a record of shooting down 12 enemy planes in one day, and his Bf-109F "Yellow 14" aircraft also became a legend in the history of air combat.

It is also because of this that the Bf-109 fighter has now become a nightmare for Allied pilots, and although it has always far surpassed the Germans in the number of fighters, it is far inferior in morale and combat effectiveness. "Then there will be no problem at all." Jiang Qiang nodded with a smile, and then said: "Once the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter and the P-51 Mustang fighter are in service, there will be no suspense in the air supremacy of the North African battlefield. ”

"Well, I reserve my opinion!" Ted finally lowered his noble head, and there was really nothing more to say. "Alright, let's get down to business!" Finally got rid of a thorn, Jiang Qiang said happily:

"In response to the order of the Allied headquarters to reinforce the Soviet Caucasian Front, I decided to send more than 200,000 troops of the 18th Army Group under General Alexander to support and ensure the security of the Caucasus region." Although this will cause a huge disparity in the total strength of the enemy and us, Jiang Qiang has enough self-confidence and ability, and with the powerful air force of the allied forces and the strong technical and equipment base, there is still no problem in carrying out extreme obscene defense and maintaining control of the Suez Canal.

After more than an hour, the meeting finally ended in a "pleasant atmosphere". After the meeting was dismissed, after lunch, Jiang Qiang convened a meeting of his generals to discuss and make specific arrangements for a series of resolutions formed at the morning meeting, and to act as quickly as possible.

At the same time, the Axis coalition command in Libya was meeting to deliberate. Rommel was overjoyed when he received a sneak attack on Alexandria by the Italian frogman forces and successfully blew up three main warships of the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet. He really didn't expect that his pig teammates, who had never been able to take him, would also play such a beautiful sneak attack, which made the Italian Navy occupy an absolute maritime advantage in the Mediterranean Sea in one fell swoop.

As a result, it can not only block the Mediterranean supply line from Britain to the mainland, but also greatly improve its own sea transportation capacity. Well, at least until the Mediterranean Fleet is replenished and strengthened, it should be like this. In another time and space, the biggest problem why Rommel lost the African battlefield was the lack of supplies.

At that time, Germany and Italy did not fully gain control of the sea in the Mediterranean, and the submarines and planes of the British and American fleets carried out a large-scale attack on the transport ships of the Axis countries, and Rommel had a shortage of tanks, vehicles, and fuel, resulting in an inability to fight for a long time. Especially after the attack on the port of Taranto, the Italian navy suffered heavy losses, so much so that the entire line collapsed due to insufficient supplies. Although the Italian Navy could not fully control the Mediterranean Sea before this, the port of Taranto had not been attacked by surprise, and the Italian Navy could still basically guarantee the safety of sea transportation routes.

It's just that in this time and space, the Afrika Korps commanded by Rommel is no longer 100,000, but a super strategic cluster of as many as 1 million armed men, plus 1,000 tanks and 1,500 aircraft! Moreover, this does not include 250,000 Italian legionnaires, as well as more than 2,800 motor vehicles, 163 medium tanks, more than 300 combat aircraft, more than 1,400 artillery pieces of various types and other heavy equipment.

To sustain such a large legion, the daily supplies required are astronomical. At present, relying on powerful sea transportation, it is basically okay to maintain such a large strategic cluster, but it only stops there, after all, the fleet, submarines, and aircraft of the British and American fleets will not be idle and do nothing, and they have been carrying out continuous and large-scale attacks on Axis transport ships.

In fact, in addition to this, Rommel also had an air supply line. At present, the German Führer attaches great importance to the North African battlefield, not only adding millions of troops and massive technical equipment to Rommel in one go, but also ordering the commander-in-chief of the Luftwaffe to replenish Rommel's corps by air. Goering also once patted his chest and promised to airdrop 200 tons of supplies to Rommel's army every day, but in the end, because of the joint operations of the British and American air forces, he did not fulfill his promise, and so far the maximum amount of supplies dropped in the sky is only 120 tons a day.

And now that the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Navy has suffered heavy losses, the situation has suddenly opened up, and Rommel naturally has more room to operate.

While Rommel bowed his head in contemplation, an unusually heated debate was going on in the conference room. A senior general of the Italian army insisted on an immediate eastward advance, conquering Egypt in one fell swoop, occupying the port of Alexandria, completely strangling the British Mediterranean fleet, and then occupying Sudan, controlling Sudan's oil fields, and then occupying Ethiopia and even the whole of East Africa.

Yes, Italy's current desire is to seize all of Africa. Taking control of Africa and restoring the majesty of the Roman Empire has always been the strongest obsession of Mussolini and the entire Italian leadership, and there is no one. However, the German generals were adamantly opposed to going south to Sudan, believing that the coalition forces should move eastward into Iraq and occupy and control the oil fields of the entire Middle East.

Soon, the Italian generals and the German generals were already arguing. It's just that they rejoiced too soon, and seemed to have forgotten a sufficient and necessary precondition: that is, to defeat the allies who were indecently defending in Egypt and completely occupy all of Egypt! There is nothing wrong with getting Longwangshu, but you have to get Longyou right first, so that you can use this as a springboard to attack Xishu!

"That's enough." Seeing that the senior generals of the two armies were arguing more and more fiercely, and the rhetoric was becoming more and more intense, and even the signs of a big fight, Rommel finally couldn't help it, and after exiting the thinking mode, he said indifferently to both sides: "Shut up all of them." ”。 Rommel was not loud or angry, but he was not angry, and when the senior generals of the Italian and German armies heard this, they all closed their mouths and did not dare to compare blindly.

After the room was quiet again, and everyone turned their eyes to him, Rommel continued: "Now our priority is to further control the Mediterranean, and to eliminate the Allied forces in the African theater as soon as possible, to conquer the Suez Canal, and to occupy all of Egypt, instead of having these useless discussions without preconditions." ”

After a pause, Rommel said in a heavy tone: "According to the latest information, more than 200,000 elite troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force have arrived in Egypt, and now the total strength of the Allied forces in the North African Theater has reached 900,000!" Therefore, in the next war, we must be distracted to destroy the Allied forces in the African theater and completely conquer the whole of Egypt! ”

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Taylor, commander of the Italian 10th Army, replied with disdain: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, what is there to be afraid of in those East Asian sick men, I'm afraid their combat effectiveness is not as good as the British servant army, even if they come more, what's the use?" These sick men of East Asia will be handed over to our Kingdom of Italy. ”

"What, the Chinese Expeditionary Force?" "There is actually a Chinese army on the battlefield in North Africa?" "God, isn't that the legendary sick man of East Asia?" "Yes, the Huaxia army is simply vulnerable." After Taylor's words fell, other senior generals of the Italian army and the German army also covered their mouths and laughed, as if they had heard a big joke.

Hearing these ridiculous words, Rommel's brows furrowed suddenly, as a senior German general, he had access to a lot of classified documents, so he had read a lot of war reports of the Japanese army and the national army, and not long ago received a detailed information from Okamura Ninji himself. Therefore, Rommel knew very well that the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by Jiang Qiang was not the sick man of East Asia in the eyes of everyone, let alone a group of sheep who came to send people's heads, but a first-class army with very strong combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, the vast majority of the senior generals of the German and Italian armies were not qualified to have access to such high-level confidential information, so they did not know the power of Jiang Qiang and the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by him. "Shut up!" Thinking of this, Rommel felt the need to have a good lesson with them, and immediately said in a serious tone after suppressing the scene:

"General Taylor, General Denitis, why do you think this information is funny? Are you still the Qing army that was slaughtered a hundred years ago? Do you think that Huaxia is still the weak Qing government that only needed tens of thousands of coalition troops to beat it to its knees and beg for mercy and reparations?

If that's the case, then you're so ignorant! Without waiting for everyone to answer, Rommel continued very seriously: "Then I can only tell you the truth, you are all wrong, and you are very wrong!" Not long ago, I received a detailed briefing from the Japanese allies, in which the senior commander of the Japanese army highlighted the Chinese Expeditionary Force led by Jiang Qiang! ”

"This is an unimaginably powerful modern army, which not only has a large number of tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled guns, and fighters of the world's advanced level, but also helicopters, self-propelled rocket artillery, and other advanced technological equipment that even the Third Reich is not equipped with at present." "This unit is brave, strong-willed, and highly motivated, and has never been defeated since the day it was formed, and it can be called a hundred victories."

"What is even more disturbing is that the Huaxia commander named Jiang Qiang, who has an extraordinary keen sense of smell and strategic vision, will always inflict unexpected fatal damage on his opponent." "Everyone should know that the Japanese army is a very powerful army, in the Southeast Asian theater and the Pacific theater, the British army and the American army were defeated, and even forced hundreds of thousands of British troops to surrender in Singapore!"

But the same Japanese army has repeatedly suffered heavy losses in the army led by Jiang Qiang. In the Burma Theater alone, the Japanese army lost more than 500,000 elite army units, more than 2,000 combat aircraft, and more than 500 tanks and combat vehicles. ”

"It is no exaggeration to say that this army has single-handedly contained and blocked more than 2 million Japanese troops, and even if the Japanese government wants to mobilize the strength of the whole country at any cost, there is no way to annihilate it in a short time." "Do you still think that such a powerful army is still the sick man of East Asia in your impression? Will they still think that they are ridiculously weak, inferior to even the British servant army? ”

There are many popular people, Jiang Qiang has already made a huge name, and it is impossible not to be noticed by the intelligence departments of various countries. What's more, before the departure of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Okamura Ningji also specially reported to Rommel through the German intelligence department, hoping to kill people with a knife, so that Jiang Qiang and more than 200,000 Chinese Expeditionary Forces would not return. "What? Is this true? "Wouldn't it? How is this possible! ”

"Oh my God, when did the Huaxia army become so powerful?" Taylor and the others were stunned when they heard this, just as Rommel said just now, his understanding of the Huaxia Kingdom and the Huaxia army stayed in the period when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China. At that time, Italy only symbolically sent 85 men, and obtained extremely rich aggressive benefits in China. "Can that still be fake?"

Rommel snorted lightly, and continued: "If that Chinese commander is not capable enough, how can those arrogant British and Americans be easily tamed and willingly accept the command of a Chinese man?" "What, you're saying that the Allied forces in the North African theater are now actually being commanded by the Chinese? Isn't the trusted Allied Commander-in-Chief of the North African Theater of Operations American? Hearing this, Taylor was even more confused, only to feel that his head was dizzy, and it was completely insufficient.

"You only know one thing, you don't know the other!" Rommel shook his head and said: "That's right, the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the North African Theater is nominally the American Stilwell, and the Chinese commander is only the deputy commander-in-chief, but the actual command of the Allied forces in North Africa is the Chinese commander Jiang Qiang!" "How so! Is this Chinese Expeditionary Force really so powerful? Taylor was messy in a gust of wind, and his words really subverted his three views, and he couldn't react at all for a while.

"Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion, and I am afraid that this ancient and mysterious country has finally woken up!" Rommel recited a sentence in pieces, and then emphasized in a serious tone: "In short, this is an extremely powerful army, and their arrival will surely cause us great trouble. For this Chinese Expeditionary Force, we must fight with a twelve-point spirit, and we must not take it lightly, we must pay special attention to the Chinese Expeditionary Force! ”

The battle hall immediately fell silent, and no one dared to laugh anymore. After a short pause, Rommel said to Fredo, the German intelligence officer: "Colonel Fredo, could you please give us a brief introduction to the specific situation of the Allies in the North African theater." "Yes." Fredo nodded and said: "If you add those unusable servant armies, the total number of Allied troops is about 1 million, including about 220,000 for the two armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, 200,000 for the British 18th Army, 300,000 for the British 8th Army, and more than 250,000 for the 7th Army of the United States. Hearing this, the senior generals in the hall were all calm and did not show any expression.

Because the Axis forces in the North African theater had more troops, the combined German-Italian forces were as high as 1.26 million men!

After a pause, Fredo continued in a slightly solemn tone: "In terms of technology and equipment, the Allied forces have more than 4,500 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, about 2,200 combat aircraft of various types, and nearly 10,000 artillery pieces of various types!" "What?" "Oh my!" At this moment, everyone couldn't sit still in an instant, and the battle hall began to sound non-stop inhaling and surprise, how could the number of technical equipment of the allied forces be so large.
