Imperial Overlord

"Special forces?" Marshal Brauchitch heard what Li Le said, and looked at the somewhat whimsical head of state in front of him doubtfully.

He has never heard of special forces. In his opinion, there are only ordinary and elite forces. Where is the need for special forces?

Could it be said that the Yuan Chief established the kind of troops to carry out special tasks? In charge of logistics? transported? Or is it a defense like the head of state flag team?

When Li Le mentioned this familiar thing, he began to talk endlessly. He detailed the composition and formation of the special forces, as well as the tasks performed by this force and the equipment it needed.

Hearing Li Le's description, Brauchitch also felt that with such a special unit, he could indeed win the battle with less effort.

"My head of state, I have no opinion on establishing such a force. If possible, several such forces will be built in the army at the same time to lay the foundation for large-scale use in the future." Rausch nodded and said to Li Le.

The British Air Force came out in full force, which calmed Li Le's nervous mood a little. As long as the British were dispatched with losses, there was a way to continue the British air battle.

Although the losses of the German army are not small, if it is matched with the more precise destruction of the submarine, the British industry will be devastated, and it is possible for the British to submit themselves.

This is of course the best outcome. If the British surrender within the next month, Li Le will almost change history and end the unfavorable war situation in which the German Third Reich was attacked by the enemy.

If the British do not surrender, the suppressed homeland will no longer be the engine of colonial wars, and will not be able to replenish blood to North Africa and the Middle East.

As long as Rommel can be as invincible as in history, with his full support, the German-Italian coalition may win in North Africa and seize another important oil producing area.

With these places, on the one hand, the Suez Canal can be cut off, and the transportation route between Britain and India can be cut off, and on the other hand, the safety of the Mediterranean route can be ensured as much as possible.

In Li Le's strategy, the naval battle against the United Kingdom and the British air battle are all harassment.

His real killer move was the attack on Egypt in North Africa. For this sure-fire strike, he occupied Malta and prepared everything for the expedition to Libya.

This time, the German Afrika Korps will not face huge logistical pressures, nor will they face the too powerful British North African Army.

With this addition and subtraction, Li Le hoped that his love, Rommel, could capture Egypt and realize the Axis' Mediterranean strategy.

"My marshal, how has the army headquarters prepared the transportation and troop dispatch for the expedition to Libya?" Thinking of his own strategy, Li Le asked Brauchitch in front of him.

Hearing the Führer's question, Brauchitch replied: "It is initially estimated that the troops transported to North Africa will include the 15th Armored Division and the 21st Armored Division... Because these two units have just been reorganized and are poorly equipped, so Better to handle."

Li Le knew about this. The 15th Armored Division was actually the original 5th Light Armored Division. This division was equipped with No. 2 tanks, most of which were outdated.

Because it was to be shipped to North Africa, the armored division was reinforced with 200 newly produced Panzer 3 tanks.

The 200 No. 3 tanks they got are the last batch of No. 3 tanks produced in Germany. After that, the No. 3 tank chassis will be used for the production of the No. 3 assault run and the maintenance of the No. 3 tanks that have been in service.

At the same time, the 21st Panzer Division also received 20 new and improved No. 4 tanks. This strengthened the combat effectiveness of the armored division, but the other 200 No. 3 tanks promised to the armored division were all outdated 38T and No. 2 tanks.

Although Li Le tried his best to simplify the weapons and equipment of the German army, the German Wehrmacht is still like a garbage dump, using a variety of broken weapons, such as tanks, the German tank troops are equipped with No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, and 38T and French tanks... There are about 10 types, not counting modified and assault guns.

Under the advocacy of the fake head of state, Germany has exported all the backward No. 1 tanks and sold them to its allies and other countries that want to buy them. The No. 2 tanks and the 38T tanks have all been incorporated into the modification plan.

But this improvement plan is a long one, and the time has not been long enough for the Germans to modify all their backward equipment.

"If possible, send another infantry division to reinforce North Africa. We will defeat the British there and force them to seriously consider surrendering." Li Le asked some questions about troop transfer, and said to Brauchitch. .

Now, more than 100 Panzer III tanks of the 15th Panzer Division have been transported to southern Italy.

However, the headquarters of the 15th Armored Division has not yet moved south. After all, the formation of the African Corps is not long.

The 21st Panzer Division is also on-site training with their new tanks, including the slightly outdated Panzer II.

"Although the route from Italy to North Africa has become unobstructed because of Malta, we still have to consider the issue of logistical supplies." Brauchitch replied.

The German army lacks overseas colonies, so it has no actual combat experience in long-distance logistics supply for decades.

Under such preconditions, it is somewhat unsafe to rashly increase the size of the North African Corps.

In the original agreement to increase troops in North Africa, Italy was to undertake conventional troops such as infantry and artillery - the German army only provided armored troops, and Germany was responsible for the unified command.

This kind of coordinated operation has been proved by the history that Li Le knows about its effectiveness. In fact, those jokes that say the Italian army is incompetent are somewhat biased.

At least on the premise of having the support of the German army, the Italian army can fight one battle.

However, Li Le still hopes that Rommel will have more troops than in history. After all, this is a fateful battle, and Li Le hopes that his troops can do their best.

"Because Libya has a lot of petroleum products, it meets the needs of many local troops." Li Le said to Marshal Brauchitch, the commander-in-chief of the army: "So we can reduce some of the logistical pressure."

In theory, it's not a little bit of pressure. At least in the next six months, the established Libyan oil fields will allow the Afrikaans to become self-sufficient in oil.

By reducing the transportation of oil, the transportation of ammunition and equipment can be increased, and the German and Italian troops can maintain a larger army on the front line.

"As long as Egypt is captured, we can drive the British Mediterranean fleet out of the Mediterranean!" Li Le said to Brauchitch: "We can completely calm down and develop Libya!"

This is indeed a flatbread, and one that Brauchitch welcomes very much. German oil experts have assured more than once that Libya's oil fields are huge enough to support future oil consumption across Europe.

Although Li Le knows that this may be an exaggeration, it is absolutely possible to support Germany to have more tanks and cars.

"My Führer, now we are consuming a lot of our oil reserves, and we are desperate to enter North Africa. Will it really be rewarded accordingly?" Brauchitch is different from the crazy Führer, he is a more rational type of person.

It is something that the commander-in-chief of the army has to carefully consider to use the national reserves to fight an expedition with all his strength.

You must know that if the wasted materials are not replenished exponentially in the future, Germany's resources will be broken, which is a huge disaster.

At that time, even if there were ten times as many fighter jets and ten times as many tanks, the war would be immediately lost, and there was no possibility of even struggling~www.wuxiaspot.com~ First of all! Libya's oil was discovered by my people. Li Le looked at Brauchitch and explained to him, "Then, how do you know that Egypt doesn't have it?" "

"Egypt? There is also oil there?" Brauchitch was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Egypt also had an oil field that the British had not discovered.

Li Le waved his hand and said, "Of course not in Egypt, but I'll tell you a secret that only a few people know... There is oil in the Middle East!"

"There is oil in the Middle East...but far away can't quench near thirst, my head of state," Brausch said.

He could not wait to find a map, point to the Middle East on it, and explain to Li Le how far the Middle East is: "Even if we occupy Egypt, we will not be able to reach into the Middle East!"

"Furthermore, even if we do take over the Middle East and build it into another Libya, it will take at least another year..." He said so hard that he could not wait to dispel Li Le's thoughts immediately.

But Li Le now made up his mind and said to Brauchitch: "If we don't do this, Libyan oil fields will not be able to ensure normal supply, and things will be more troublesome then."

Libya's oil fields are also within the attack radius of British and future American bombers. If the other side is willing, it is very likely that the Libyan oil fields will not produce any oil at all!

Now the British have not bombed the Libyan oil fields. On the one hand, the target is too small to be worth bombing. On the other hand, it is also because the specific location has not been found.

And if the Libyan oil field is a base with a daily output of tens of thousands of barrels of oil, the fool will not find it, and the fool will let it continue to produce!

If it really came to that time, wouldn't the Libyan oil field become a gift from Germany to the Allies?
