“Hmm? The Aiji people want to surrender to us and act as our accomplices to stab the British army in the back?”
Rommel was eating hot pot and singing songs, and he set up a parasol on the beach by the Nile River, just about to enjoy himself comfortably. Unexpectedly, the Aiji people sneaked out of the city and ran over to surrender to them. This news instantly destroyed Rommel’s mood for vacation!
Originally, after Rommel arranged the siege of the British army in Kailuo City, he planned to spend a comfortable vacation.
Anyway, the British army did not dare to go out of the city for a field battle, and they had no battles to fight for the time being.
At this time, another German force was still taking over the Suez Canal and pursuing the remnants of the British army defending the Suez Canal.
Before they completed the pursuit and returned to the main force, Rommel did not plan to launch a strong attack on Kailuo City.
After taking the Suez Canal, the war situation in North Africa was quite favorable for the German army.
In the British mainland and Gibraltar After the fall of the Tudor fortresses, the logistical supplies for the British troops in North Africa all had to be transported from South Asia by the British army.
The main ports of the British army are all on the Mediterranean side, so the transport ships in South Asia need to enter the Suez Canal from the Red Sea, and then dock and unload at the ports on the Mediterranean side, so that the British army can get the supplies they dream of.
However, after the German army captured the Suez Canal, this key logistical supply line of the British army has been completely cut off. The British army in the city and the British fleet wandering in the Mediterranean have become trapped in the German army!
Unless they can take back control of the Suez Canal from the German army, otherwise, whether it is the British army trapped in North Africa or the British fleet trapped in the Mediterranean, they have nowhere to hide. They have no retreat and no supplies. They can only provide limited space for their activities. Without any supplies, these troops will not last long.
Moreover, Rommel knew the core of the Führer’s North African strategy. The core was to occupy Aiji, control the Suez Canal, open up the passage to Central Africa in the south and West Asia and the Middle East in the north, and create opportunities for the German army to march south and north.
It was for this purpose that Rommel directly chose to attack Aiji. As long as Aiji was taken, everything else would be a piece of cake!
Therefore, after taking control of the Suez Canal, the German army’s initial combat objectives had been achieved. Now there was no need to rush. Just take steady steps and capture Kailuo City and the port city of Alexandria in the north. In this way, the German army not only had a foothold in North Africa, but also controlled important waterways connecting Europe and Asia!
Listen to the Führer. , Rommel knew that the temporary strategic focus of the empire was still on the bear in the east, and he did not intend to invest too many troops in Africa, so his North African Corps might be the main force to conquer the South and the North, control West Asia and the Middle East, and conquer the African continent.
Considering the strength of his North African Corps, Rommel cherished his troops very much and did not want to sacrifice too many soldiers in any unnecessary battles. If the siege could consume the people in the city, he would just have to wait slowly. There was no need to launch a strong attack and let the soldiers sacrifice.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. He never arrived. Alas, people came to the door so quickly to be the insider!
This made Rommel not believe in the other party, but deeply doubted: Could this guy be a spy sent by the British army?
Did they deliberately set up such a situation for themselves, lure themselves to launch an attack and then take the opportunity to ambush themselves?
The more I think about it, the more possible it is, so Rommel decided to meet this guy in person!
The representative sent by King Fuad was none other than Abdullah, the Minister of the Interior of Aiji.
Abdullah used his relationship with the Aiji army and quietly slipped out of Kailuo City at night after putting on makeup. As a result, he was discovered by the German sentry before he reached the German barracks. If he hadn’t learned some German temporarily, he would have been shot as a spy!
Through this incident, Abdullah had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the German army. Although the German defense seemed very lax on the surface, in fact, the German defense was extremely tight and there was no flaw at all. Their apparent laxity was probably deliberately showing weakness to the enemy, giving the British army an illusion and attracting the British army to attack?
Abdullah didn’t understand military affairs, but he understood people’s hearts. The British army had just been defeated, and the people in the city were in turmoil. The morale of the Aiji army was low. At this time, the British army urgently needed to use a victory to restore their morale and let the Aiji people believe in their strength again. Otherwise, the Aiji people would probably doubt their strength and choose to cooperate with Hans.
So from this perspective, the German army’s strategy may succeed.
After entering the German military camp, Abdullah was deeply shocked by the countless tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and trucks!
No wonder everyone says that the German army is the strongest army in the world. Not to mention their high morale and strict military discipline, they are at least decades ahead of the British army in terms of weapons!
At least Abdullah did not see these weapons in the German camp in the British military camp!
In fact, the British army is also equipped with some tanks and armored vehicles, but because of the fall of the mainland, their military strength has declined significantly.
The development of new tanks that had already begun has come to a halt.
Some of the new tanks and armored vehicles that were previously trial-produced have not had time to be produced, and the mainland of the sun has fallen.
This has made their number of tanks and armored vehicles very small, and their performance has also lagged behind significantly.
More importantly, such equipment has been transferred back to the mainland to strengthen the defense of the mainland, so it is difficult to see these things in overseas colonies. It is also very normal that Abdullah did not see them in the British military camp.
Since entering the German military camp, seeing the Germans’ sophisticated weapons, and feeling the Germans’ strength, Abdullah has been full of confidence in his plan!
With such a powerful army, why worry about the British army’s destruction?
The tens of thousands of British troops in the city are simply no match for the Germans. As long as they have the support of the Germans, they will definitely be able to drive away the colonists and take back their own land!
