Chapter 409 There is a war in North Africa
Libya has a constant supply of oil, which has become one of the basis for Germany to win this war. At the same time, Libya is surrounded by British colonies.
Germany does not have much air defense capabilities in Libya, which belongs to Italian colonies, and Italy's guards there are also very behind.
Therefore, it is easy for Britain to take off from the ambushed colonies bases and bomb these oil bases, severely hitting Germany's war potential.
This was already happening when he was just fighting Poland. At that time, Cialis's response was very simple, just to share a portion of the profits to American capitalists. If American oil tycoons participate, the UK cannot tear the face.
The effect was good at that time and the base there was protected, but now, the situation is different.
The British main fleet was sunk, and Britain had to take revenge. At this time, will Britain care about the interests of some American oil tycoons?
The United States rose after World War II. Now Britain still has the afterglow of the empire. Britain really broke up, and the American oil tycoon could only grit his teeth and swallow the blood into his stomach, and he would not say anything.
Once Britain bombs Libya's oil base, it means that a war will begin in North Africa, and its own stage is not in Europe, but in North Africa.
This is a new challenge, a very attractive challenge.
Rommel already knows what Cirick means. Rommel will fight in North Africa in the next few years, and his strategic goal is the British and French colonies in North Africa!
From Libya, advance eastward and westward, with the focus on the east, snatch Egypt, control the Suez Canal, and then take all the oil bases in the Middle East!
The area Rommel was going to compete for was much larger than Western Europe. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Rommel is tall and handsome, and is full of pure-bred Aryan images promoted by Germany. It can be said that Rommel is very competent when he is a star. This is also one of the reasons why so many military fans like Rommel in later generations.
In addition to being handsome, Rommel is also full of heroism. His era is coming.
"We have no excuse yet. After Libya is bombed by British bombing, we will immediately enter Libya." Cialick said: "Rommeel, I believe that you will not let my expectations down. When the imperial war is pacified, you will become the governor of North Africa and the Middle East."
Since Cialek traveled through time, the war would never be like the course of history. Cialek needed someone to guard North Africa and the Middle East, and Rommel was definitely the best candidate.
Rommel saluted Cialick again: "I will never let you down."
Rommel, who had received the task, left the office. Cialick looked at his watch and suddenly realized that it was already very late.
Those guys are already anxious, right?
"Scherner, what's going on?" Rommel walked out, and Scherner happened to walk in, and Cialick asked him.
Ferdinand Scherner, Cyric's most trusted old subordinate, was an assistant who participated in the beer riot together. As Cyric continued to promote, Scherner also continued to promote.
During the attack on Poland, Scherner was the commander of the Second Armored Division of the Wrathful SS. Now, Scherner is still the title of division commander, but Scherner has been promoted to another level and he has entered the Supreme Command of the National Defense Forces.
The General Staff Department is out of date. The Supreme Command is the commanding authority. General Keitel is the director of the Supreme Command, and Scherner is the attack on General Keitel.
Everyone can see that Scherner's future is bright. If you survive for a few years, you may become the new Minister of Defense.
No matter what arguments are behind him, Cirick is very firm. Of course, he must vigorously promote these old subordinates who follow him, these loyal and fanatical subordinates.
Depend on Junker's Officer Group? Although these guys were killed by Cialick, there were still guys with tact. They could still follow their own rhythm when they were in trouble. Once they were in trouble, these guys would jump out and create a similar 720.
Cialek would not trust them completely.
"First of the People's Republic of China, your surprise attack was quite successful," Scherner said excitedly: "Although the final data is still under statistics, we can be sure that the British's main fleet in Scapa Bay no longer exists."
Very successful! This is also within Cialek's expectations. After all, the British have never thought about fighting from top to bottom yet! Even though the world is safe, forgetting the war will lead to danger, but unfortunately the British do not understand.
Until now, the British are still fantasizing about the disaster flowing eastward, and they have never thought about the hatred that Germany has had in the past twenty years.
"Now, our battleship formation is approaching Scapa Bay, preparing to launch the final shelling on the shore." Scherner said: "But, Head of State, I don't understand why we should continue to dispatch battleships? Now, the naval base has been destroyed by us."
As those warships sank one by one, the British naval fleet had suffered a heavy blow, and the final bombardment seemed to be of little significance.
Moreover, it would be dangerous to get the battleships close to the opponent's port to bombard the enemy's port, which seemed to be a little less than worth the effort.
Of course, for those madmen in the Navy, they are at their peak now, and they must like to do this very much.
Upon hearing Scherner's question, Cialik looked at him with satisfaction. He had to say that Scherner was already mature. In addition to commanding the army, he still had many ideas in the Navy and Air Force. In the future, he could safely hand over this position as the Minister of Defense to him.
I won't wait too long until I conquer France.
"We have the escort of aircraft carrier-based aircraft, so we don't have to worry about the British Air Force attack. It is very likely that none of them will get news. If they get news, it will only increase the performance of our naval aviation." Cirick began to explain.
This last step is of course not to add to the slightest part, but to add to the icing on the cake, and it has a deeper meaning.
First of all, there is no need to worry about security issues. With the protection of our own FW190 carrier-based aircraft, are you still afraid of those backward torpedo attack aircraft in the UK? How many are there and how many are there?
"Secondly, even though we successfully attacked Capas Bay, the performance of the battleship will steal the limelight from the aircraft carrier and will give people the impression that the battleship is still the main force in naval battles, and the aircraft carrier is just an impression that the bargain picker is suitable for attacking targets fixed in the military port."
Who is important for aircraft carriers or battleships? Later generations have proved that battleships have been retired and aircraft carriers have become the stage for the strong men at sea.
Now, the Atlantic battlefield still needs battleships, but aircraft carriers can play a greater role. Doing so is to mislead Britain and the United States, let them realize the role of battleships and ignore aircraft carriers.
