Imperial Overlord

"Long live the Führer!" The guard at the door raised his arm, and then helped Keitel, the general of the German Wehrmacht, to push open the door of the conference room.

In the main seat of the conference room, Li Lezheng was chatting proudly with the commander-in-chief of the fox, Redel, who was sitting beside him.

Sitting on the other side is Imperial Marshal Goering, but his face is not so good-looking. At this time, he was fiddling with the pen in his hand, and he didn't mean to look up at Keitel.

Walking to the Führer, Keitel raised his arm, stood at attention and greeted the Führer: "Victory* Head!"

Li Le did not intend to stop the conversation with Marshal Reder Fox, but just waved his hand and motioned Keitel to find a seat to sit down.

Keitel nodded to Field Marshal Brauchitch who was looking at him, then found his seat and sat down.

This meeting can be said to be a meeting that made the generals of the three armies a little nervous, because on the entire battlefield, the German army blossomed in all directions, and the situation in front of them was very good.

First of all, the one who is currently proud is Marshal Redel, who is chatting and laughing in front of the head of state. His fox was tossing and turning across the Atlantic, playing the British fox round and round.

If the fleet was successfully killed and returned to the port of Brest, then the matter of the German fox strangling the United Kingdom can basically be determined.

Promise the head of state and guarantee that the air force can defeat the British Goring, and because of this, the expression is so decadent.

Secondly, the German army was preparing for the operation across the Suez Canal, which had been approved and the Führer himself named the plan of the Grand Crusade.

The plan included how Rommel's forces would break into the Middle East, how to occupy areas such as Jordan, how to completely seal off the Mediterranean Sea, and attack areas such as Saudi Arabia.

To prepare for this massive invasion plan, the Wehrmacht's logistics department is working at full capacity to prepare Rommel with the necessary supplies for the offensive.

Including daily necessities, but also valuable ammunition. Although the transportation distance has become longer, the types of transportation have become fewer. In general, the logistical pressure is reduced.

Rommel's back relies on the wealthy areas of Egypt, maintenance plants built by the British and fresh water provided by the Nile River. This suddenly relieved more than half of the logistical pressure and made Rommel's attack possible.

"My head of state, the plan of the Great Crusade is too huge, and the army is attacking Xi. In this case, preparing for the attack in the Middle East at the same time, the logistical pressure is too heavy." Brauchitch said gloomily, He said to Li Le, who was listening to Raidel's explanation of the fox's combat route.

Li Le withdrew his gaze from Rader and looked at Brauchitch. Yuan Xiansheng, who had a faint smile on his face, said slowly, "Could it be that our attack in the Balkans is not going well?"

How could it not go well? The British army was retreating in an organized and planned manner at this time, and the remaining Xi soldiers were simply vulnerable.

Including some pro-German Yugoslavia, wherever the German fighters went, most areas welcomed them, and there was not much resistance at all.

In fact, in the first years, anti-German guerrillas in the Balkans were not rampant. It is only because of Germany's harsh racism and brutal and overbearing rule that eventually the Balkans turned into a quagmire of war.

Another reason is that this place in the Balkans also has a history of racist wars.

"Marshal Liszt's attack on the Balkans is very well-organized. In fact, our attack was very smooth, but it only consumed some ammunition and fuel." Brauchitch mentioned the Balkans, and the expression on his face became much more pleasant. .

The speed of his troops' offensive in the Balkans can be said to have created a new miracle. The German army advanced 200 kilometers in three days, which was countless times faster than the attack speed of the Italian army standing still.

The newly formed mechanized infantry unit, when cooperating with the grenadier and the tank unit to attack, showed an unprecedented ability to move quickly.

According to Marshal Liszt's personal evaluation, "their speed and combat effectiveness are impeccable, as long as they can endure the consumption of gasoline, the more troops like this, the better!"

Of course, even 70 years later, it is impossible for the army units of the world's first-class powers to be fully mechanized in a state of mobilization. The idea of ​​​​Ster is still a bit too wishful thinking.

Of course, Brauchitch will not be tangled by the military operations in the Balkans. In fact, after winning France, which is known as the most powerful country in the army, the German army has already considered itself the number one in the world.

Under the influence of this kind of emotion, the attack on the Balkans is nothing but an action to kill chickens. No one would think that the Balkans would be a tough bone to crack.

What Brauchitch was not sure about was the lone army of Rommel, thousands of miles away. Compared with Liszt, who has Romania's rear, the Middle East Raiders is a worrying existence.

"My head of state, the main problem we have to face is the African Army from Rommel, not Liszt's 12th Army." Brauchitch looked at the head of state and said this.

Li Le nodded. He also knew that the recent army fox attack had touched the fragile nerves of conservatives.

Those who think that the head of the Supreme Command has been a little too aggressive recently, and the attack on all sides has caused the dispersion of troops.

The Army deliberately postponed combat operations across the Suez Canal, in order to avoid irritating the already agitated Soviet side.

They were worried that the Führer's attack on all sides, causing trouble everywhere, would eventually force the Soviet Union to attack Germany, triggering a war on the Eastern Front.

Avoiding the war on the Eastern Front is what these conservatives have in mind, so they are also willing to carry out some activities to avoid such a situation.

"In terms of the plan of the Great Crusade, the army's opinion is still very big, so you are not optimistic. Our army's combat operations in the Middle East?" Li Le looked at Brauchitch and asked.

"There is a shortage of troops. Even if our troops can launch an attack, there is no guarantee that they will be able to control the occupied area." Brauchitch said worriedly.

In fact, most in the Army, including Brauchitch, had no doubt that Rommel's forces could break through the Suez line.

Brauchitch and others were convinced that the Afrikaans would win a dazzling victory in the early stages of the Grand Crusade.

This conclusion is also an important reason why the Army has not used actual actions to stop Rommel's Eastern Expedition by deducting materials from the African Army.

Of course, there is another reason, because Brauchitch has lost too much in the last bet with the Führer, and so far he has not dared to continue to disobey the Führer's orders.

What the Army questioned was that Rommel's mere less than 200,000 troops could not control such a huge land in the Middle East and North Africa.

After all, this place is too big to be considered in depth. Just looking at the control points, it has already stretched for thousands of kilometers, from Tripoli, to Port Said, and then into the Middle East, which is a bit nonsense.

Not to mention the troublesome incident of the British or the Americans behind them landing in Africa and other regions, just to maintain local law and order is enough for the 200,000 Afrikaans to be in a hurry.

Everyone knows that in relatively calm North Africa, limited to the two colonies of Libya and Egypt, security can still be guaranteed.

But if it is in the chaotic Middle East, this matter becomes a fatal problem - the Middle East has not been controlled very well since ancient times, and now the Germans kill them, can they stand?

Once the Germans drove out the British and the Free French forces there, the remaining locals became the source of chaos.

At that time, he would become a mess of porridge, too far from the mainland and unable to reinforce in time. Instead, he became a chicken rib and dragged down the other directions of the empire.

You must know that this kind of worry is not impossible. In order to avoid this situation from happening~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The German Army is expected to send an additional standing army of about 300,000 people.

This plan to increase the standing army has been discussed by the senior army and the head of state, and the conclusion is that it will not work at all!

Maintaining 200,000 people fighting in North Africa and the Middle East is already the limit of Germany and Italy. Even if the threat of the British fox is eliminated, it is impossible for Germany to transport more troops to the Middle East to waste resources.

You must know that Rommel's 200,000 troops have used 12,000 trucks of different models from four countries, Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, to barely maintain operation.

If this doubled the number of troops, it would mean more than 10,000 vehicles. Brauchitch would rather not be the commander-in-chief of the army than provide so many transport vehicles for a single unit.

"It is not difficult to defeat the British troops, but then we will be overwhelmed by the local chaos and lose a lot of troops every day." Brauchitch finally summed it up and told Li Le.

Of course, Li Le knew better than Brauchitch about the chaotic state of the Middle East, including the wars after World War II.

He even knew a bearded brother named Saddam, who was as famous as his noisy brother. Both of them were also sold by the Americans, and they both surrendered their lives in the end.

And he, a traveler from the 21st century, of course has his own plans. After all, it is now his intention to reach into the Middle East and unplug the British oil fields in Iraq and Iran.

The Führer did not speak, and looked at Brauchitch. A group of bigwigs in the conference room also looked at the Führer curiously, waiting for the words to be said by the Führer.

After a while of silence, Li Le said with a smile, "Who said, I'm going to occupy the Middle East?"
