The Italian Marshal Messe surrendered to the Allied forces, and about 200,000 Italian troops were captured, and only 633 people fled from the sea. The Italian African Legion was completely destroyed.

At this time, Li Mo did not help his teammates like pigs, but could help him. At least the supplies stored in Tunisia and Tunisia ports were successfully taken over by Li Mo. Among the Italian supplies that Li Mo took over, the most were red wine. Of course, there were a lot of other weapons and ammunition. After all, Italy had a long time to colonize North Africa, and it was normal to hoard some strategic supplies. However, when Li Mo, who was short of supplies, asked Messe for supplies, the other party never said that there was no one, but now there were a large number. For such pig friends and pit friends, it would be better to go to the enemy's prisoner of war camp early to avoid wasting materials.

Li Mo is now in the battle between Tunisia and Tunisia ports. Li Mo deployed two infantry divisions in Tunisia city, with more than 30,000 people, and another battalion of armored troops assisted them in defense. Tunisia port is the focus of Li Mo's defense. There are more than 60,000 German troops in total, including three armored divisions, which is also the ace in Li Mo's hands. Fortunately, Tunisia city is still within the support radius of Malta Island. When the Luftwaffe arrived, the air supremacy was from the German German army. Once the Luftwaffe left, the air supremacy was from the British, which was equivalent to half of the air supremacy over Tunisia. Now Britain and Li Mo's troops can only fight to the death.

Li Mo also realized the desperate situation he was in and rushed to Sicily, Italy. At this time, there were two or three German division-level troops in Sicily, but Li Mo did not plan to add troops to Tunisia. Li Mo had this confidence. Although Li Mo had only 60,000 German troops in his hands and had to defend Tunisia and the port of Tunisia, Li Mo dare not say anything else. It is okay for the 60,000 German troops commanded by Li Mo to hold these two places for a month. He said that Li Mo's supplies are no longer scarce, and this is also thanks to the Italian troops who went to the British prisoner-of-war camp to enjoy their happiness.

Li Mo was a small burden, but Ying's burden was heavy. He had more than 200,000 yuan in vain to eat free food. According to General Jennessy:

"These Italians are simply stupid pigs. Raising them is just a waste of food. I really want to drive them all to the Mediterranean to feed sharks."

The German army was only 2,000 kilometers from all over the place to Sicily in Italy, and the British team was much farther away to land in North Africa. Britain was a little faster than the German German army. But if all the German troops landed in North Africa, even if all the British troops were transferred to North Africa, they would not be Li Mo's opponent.

The head of the Commonwealth, Elizabeth, urgently convened a meeting of the imperial front. The head of Elizabeth proposed an incredible battle plan. It was to raid the Italian naval base, Taranto. Elizabeth, who was sleeping by Li Mo, knew the strong combat power of the German army. Their commander was a strategist, and Li Mo was also a tactical master. In order to try his best to prevent the German army from landing in North Africa on a large scale, it was necessary to destroy the Italian navy and make them have no fleets and transport ships to provide Li Mo with a fleet of crossing the sea and escort.

Elizabeth's strategy once again directly pinched Li Mo's testicles. Your Li Mo's army is powerful. What if you can't land in North Africa? You can only see the scenery on Sicily. There are no ships or fleets to send you troops to North Africa. Is it really the "most poisonous woman's heart"? Wrong, Elizabeth is just for the British Empire. As the head of the Commonwealth, Elizabeth must restrain his personal emotions. In fact, Elizabeth dreams of Li Mo every night and is awakened by the shouts.

As the prime minister, Churchill also served as the British Navy Minister. With a strategic vision, he was also impressed by Elizabeth's strategic concept and quickly ordered the navy to formulate a specific combat plan. This raid on Taranto would send all the Italian Navy to the bottom of the sea, making Taranto a cemetery for the Italian Navy.

France was defeated and surrendered, and the British navy that lost allies, as well as the German army were about to arrive in Sicily, Italy on a large scale, preparing to land in North Africa. The British navy had to fight the Italian navy at the same time on the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea, which seemed to be unable to split. The main force of the Italian navy was stationed in the port of Taranto in the southern part of the Apennine Peninsula, and held part of the sea power in the central Mediterranean. Taranto faced the vast Eastern Mediterranean Sea and shared the throat of the Mediterranean with Sicily. With superior geographical conditions, the Italian navy was able to advance and retreat freely, and also attacked the British transport fleet in the Mediterranean at any time, causing the British logistics supply to fight in Egypt to be in trouble.

Based on the above two reasons, Elizabeth, the head of the Commonwealth, formulated a battle plan for the Mediterranean sea power, and the British Navy Minister Sir Alexander implemented the specific implementation. The Italian Navy Commander Inigo Kamponi adopted a strategy of sticking to defense and waiting for an opportunity to attack. He usually stationed the main force of the fleet in the port of Taranto. Once a fighter plane was found, he would attack immediately and leave after the fight, and would never get entangled. Admiral Andrew Cunningham, the commander of the British Navy Mediterranean Fleet, planned to adopt the tactic of induced snakes out of the hole, and sent several destroyers and merchant ships to sea, trying to lure out the main ships of the Italian Navy and fight them all in one go. However, the scheming Kamponi always closed the door and hung a "fight-free card". For several days, Cunningham could not find any fighter planes, but the German troops were about to reach Sicily.

Head of State Elizabeth gave a specific strategy at one time. Elizabeth ordered the British Navy to take the initiative to attack Taranto. Cunningham finally decided to use a carrier-based aviation force to attack the main Italian Navy stationed in the port of Taranto. The basis for his decision was: in the Mediterranean, in terms of the number of ships and tonnage, the British Navy is at a disadvantage compared to the Italian Navy, but the UK has two aircraft carriers. Although the Italian Navy has fast battleships and long range of artillery fire, its armor protection is weak and is known as the "cardboard fleet". Although the air force provides air cover and support for it, the coordination between the two services is inconvenient, and air supremacy is actually in the hands of the British.

On the eve of the air strike, the British reconnaissance plane took back a photo of the port of Taranto. In addition to the strict defense facilities of Taranto and the huge number of warships in the photos, a group of small white dots arranged in an orderly manner and equally spaced aroused the attention of intelligence personnel: Could it be a problem when washing the printing? Or is there a stain on the camera lens? No, the stain will not be so regular! They finally determined that it was to block the balloon.

These balloons are tied with steel cables. When the plane enters at a low altitude, it is likely to hit the steel cables and be cut off the wings, resulting in the destruction of the aircraft. In order to fight the Luftwaffe bombing of London, the British used this method. Now, the Italians have also learned it. General Arturo Ricadi, the commander of the Taranto Base, was very satisfied with the defense measures of setting up a blocking balloon.
