Imperial Overlord

"We're in North Africa, so we're going to Egypt?" Kesselring raised his head and looked at Bowman, not believing his eyes.

Bowman smiled and nodded. He handed over a telegram from Italy and continued to report to Li Le: "This is a telegram from Italy, sent by Mr. Mussolini himself."

Li Le took the telegram and looked at the contents: "Mussolini, you said you knew this earlier, why did you do it in the first place?"

After muttering such a sentence, Li Le spread the telegram in his hand on the table and said to Kesselring and Goering: "We rescued more than 60,000 Italian prisoners, thank you letter from Mussolini."

He put his hand on the telegram and continued: "Just a thank you note is not enough..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bauman and said, "Bauman! Tell Ribbentrop, let him find Mussolini, and let him guarantee the 15th and 21st armored divisions as soon as possible. Transportation work! Can't be neglected!"

Then he looked at Goering here: "Marshal Goring! My Marshal! Rommel needs the support of your powerful air force! As soon as possible, mobilize 100 Stukas and 100 ME-109E fighter jets to North Africa. go!"

"I will carry out your order after I go back! Don't worry, my head of state!" Because he has his own industry in North Africa, Goering is still very concerned about this kind of thing.

And Rommel's performance exceeded his expectations, allowing him to see other benefits and the dawn - the German team has entered Egypt at this time!

If the German army occupied Egypt, then this place full of treasures, mysterious and very important geographical location, will part of it become his private property?

Nowadays, as the imperial marshal, Goering's most important thing is to build the imperial air force, and the second investment is to accumulate his own wealth.

"Find a way to send the newly formed Waffen SS light infantry division to Africa!" Li Le looked at Bowman and gave the second order.

He was going to give Rommel three divisions, but now the situation is very good, he intends to give his confidant love will add some winning chips.

So having decided to transport a Wehrmacht infantry division, he ordered another Waffen SS division to go to Africa.

Then the Führer smiled and stood up and walked to the door of the conference room: "Haha, since Rommel has won, it is time to pay the bet between Field Marshal Brauchitch and I."

At this moment, he is in a good mood, with a warm smile on his face, giving the people around him the illusion that he is very amiable.

Baumann knew of the bet between the Führer and Marshal Brauchitch during the meal that day. So seeing Li Le showing a harmless smile, he shivered all over.

When the head of state was eating that day, he had a whim, and wanted to strengthen a mechanized infantry division to the African Army and send it to North Africa to fight for Egypt.

However, Marshal Brauchitch did not agree with this idea. He thought that sending the main force to the far North Africa was a thankless behavior.

He refused Li Le's request to transfer troops to North Africa on the grounds that he was actively preparing for the Eastern Front.

Because it was at the dinner table, Li Le did not discuss the importance of North Africa with him. He just asked Brauchitch what the Army would do if Rommel won and needed troops to invade Egypt.

"If Rommel can really push the line of defense back to the Egyptian border, I will agree to give him another infantry division." Brausch replied.

Li Le laughed, as if he was a hunter digging traps for his prey, and asked again: "Then, my marshal... What if Rommel entered Egypt?"

When this meal was eaten, the Italian 10th Army was on the verge of collapse. As long as they were not fools on the battlefield, they could see that Italy's failure had become a foregone conclusion and could not be rewritten.

So Brauchitch thought about it, and with the idea of ​​supporting Italy, he promised: "If Rommel really kills him and returns to Egypt, I will give him an admiral's reward and give him one more mechanized infantryman. division!"

"Very good! My field marshal! Very good!" While dealing with the unpalatable vegetables and potatoes, Li Le smiled and pushed his field marshal into the trap: "It's a deal!"

At that time, Brauchitch thought he had rejected the Führer's request, and he smiled politely at Bowman when he went out... Now it was Bowman's turn to laugh. face up.

"In this way... Rommel has 5 German divisions in his hands. There should be no problem in winning the Battle of El Alamein." Li Le walked out of the conference room with his hands behind his back and muttered to himself.

Goering and Kesselring are still sitting in the conference room. Look at me and see if you don't know what to say.

"Rommel really won in North Africa... Unexpectedly, unexpectedly!" Kesselring spoke first, with a half-complimenting admiration.

Goering nodded: "Yeah! Unexpectedly... We all turned the tables and won!"

"What!" The famous fat man almost jumped out of his chair in Churchill's prime minister's office in London.

His fat palm slapped on the solid wood desk, making a loud noise. The pen on the table jumped up because of the vibration and rolled to the floor.

"Say it again!" With a distorted expression on his face, he faced the subordinate who sent the message with a ferocious face.

Before the other party could speak, he roared loudly: "What does it mean to be captured? What does it mean that we have completely lost in the North African battlefield?"

A few days earlier, he had also received a report from Admiral Wavell that his army had defeated the Italian army and had already pushed back into Libya.

In addition, the British army who successfully counterattacked captured at least 70,000 Italian soldiers, and also gave birth to the famous saying in advance: "A few acres of soldiers are captured, and an acre of officers is captured."

Such a huge victory is naturally good news to boost the morale of the British resistance. So at Churchill's behest, British newspapers reported on this unprecedented victory for several days.

As of this morning, he was still able to get the news of the North African victory in the newspapers, with a whole bunch of apocryphal details.

Because it controls all the media and the mouthpiece, in order to inspire people, some details that do not exist have also been fabricated by the omnipotent media.

Including more than a dozen British soldiers brave and fearless, rushed into the Italian command and killed a division commander and several regimental commanders.

These days, Churchill's favorite thing is to read these news. He likes to talk about North Africa with others, just like a terminally ill patient who is about to die, likes to talk about the manor he just bought.

Churchill, who caught the life-saving straw, even delivered a speech called "Fighting the Enemy Like a British Soldier in Africa" ​​three days ago.

Unfortunately, a few minutes after he finished his speech, he received a telegram with news of the retreat of the North African troops.

Although the telegram was very euphemistic, it still made Churchill furious. Because Admiral Wavell had confidently assured him that capturing Beldi would not be a problem.

When Wavell returned to Bairdie, a grand celebration was being prepared in England—the capture of an enemy city for the first time since the war began.

All of this has now become something that Churchill cannot mention, because just a day earlier, on August 29, the Italian radio had announced that the siege of Baldi had been lifted.

Yesterday afternoon, Admiral Wavell was still guaranteeing that he would be able to hold several important strongholds in front of Matrouh before the German team entered Egypt.

To Churchill's chagrin, on the night of the guaranteed arrival, West Dubai Nila was handed over to the Germans by the retreating British troops.

Today, the guilty Admiral Wavell sent the last telegram, explaining that he was in a very passive situation and had been surrounded by the German army near the village of Tevarisai.

He then learned of Admiral Wavell's capture by the Germans from General Cananning, who had led the fleet back to Alexandria.

"He should commit suicide! He should be responsible for what he did!" Churchill, whose lips were already trembling with anger, took a long time to vent violently.

Then he didn't feel the resentment, and immediately added another sentence: "And that O'Connor who surrendered! He should also use his life to serve his motherland!"

In his heart, what he thought was that these generals were greedy for life and fear of death, which led to this fiasco in North Africa...

"General Can Anning called and asked us if we should give up Matrou..." The officer who came to deliver the message said carefully.

"Of course you can't give up! So many supplies! There is also the Australian 6th Infantry Division, which has just shipped half of it! Can you give up if you can give up?" Churchill did not speak, but several army generals around him had already shouted.

"The problem now is ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ We must conceal this defeat! Let the people not shake their determination to resist!" Churchill said weakly, speaking his thoughts.

What he needs to worry about now has changed from a possible German landing operation to how to hold his position so that the war he insists on continues.

After all, the UK is not monolithic now, and there are many politicians who propose to surrender and seek peace. And as the war situation became more unfavorable, this kind of voice became more and more.

As the work of internal scrutiny of German spies became less popular, there were more voices questioning Churchill's abilities.

So Churchill was most worried about whether his successor who changed his ways would really ask the Germans for peace once he fell.
