Chapter 868 Target Middle East
At the last moment, Lindman finally made his own choice.
In the first world, Britain had lost a generation of youth, and now, the blood of British soldiers cannot be emptied.
After seeing the facts clearly, Linderman finally gave up. Since he could not fight against Germany and saved the lives of these soldiers under his command, it was even more important.
He gave the order to surrender, and he could bear this burden. The life of every soldier below was precious!
The war is over.
The South African division in Alexandria surrendered in the middle of the night, but the army led by Montgomery, who was riding in various cargo ships at night, was missing.
In the southwest of Cairo, in the desert of the Giza Plateau, a convoy stopped.
"First of the People, welcome to North Africa." Outside the car door, the tall and handsome Rommel shouted to the people in the car.
After learning that Egypt had been liberated, the great head of state Cialek could not wait to fly to Egypt on a special plane!
Moreover, the first thing Cirick did after getting off the plane was to come here. Tall triangular buildings stood on this civilized land with a long history.
pyramid.
In his previous life, Cialek once liked to travel around. When he was in college, he had ridden and traveled around many places. Cialek had long been interested in the pyramids, but he had never had the chance.
And now, finally, Egypt surrendered to Germany's iron hooves, and Cirick's secret trip was to come to the pyramid to take a look.
"The one ahead of us is the largest pyramid in Egypt." Rommel actually saw it today. He marched last night in the dark and could not be considered passing by.
This pyramid is the tallest, equivalent to a skyscraper with more than 40 stories.
It is said that 100,000 people worked under the scorching sun and under the whip of supervisors. They spent ten years building stone roads and catacombs, and another 20 years to build the tower body. The entire project took more than 30 years.
Now, no cultural relics protection organization has come to cause trouble. Cialek became interested when he looked at the stones outside that had been corroded over the long years.
"Rommeel, let's compete, who will climb to the top first?" Cialick said suddenly.
It has been almost twenty years since I traveled over, and Cialis has also changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, which is about the same age as Rommel.
Now, after hearing Cialick's proposal, Rommel was eager to try: "Okay, great head, I will not give in to you."
The guards on the side frowned. No matter who they were, they would make them very nervous!
However, they had no choice but to follow the two of them and climb the tall pyramid together.
Over the years, Cialek has not neglected exercise. You must know that the body is the capital of revolution.
At the same time, Rommel was the same. At the beginning, both of them made big strides and almost half-running towards the top.
The steps are very tall and you have to lift your feet to go up. At the same time, over the long years, a large amount of yellow sand has accumulated on it.
After running dozens of floors, the two of them finally slowed down.
Rommel's breathing began to get rapid. He looked at Cialick on the side and saw that the other party had almost the same expression.
I just ran, now I'm leaving, and after going up, I almost turned into a crawling.
Finally, when the two reached the highest peak, they were already using hands and feet.
Gasping heavily, the two of them arrived at the top almost at the same time. At this time, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun shone high from the west sky, and the shadow of the pyramid was pulled long. Sitting on the top, both of them were full of energy.
A group of guards also climbed to the side in anger and formed a human wall. If anyone fell down, they would be protected as soon as possible.
"Well, Rommel, it seems you are not old yet," said Cyric.
"First of the People, I have always admired you very much. Your vision is better than all of us. Today, I admire your body very much. You are the greatest person in Germany." Rommel said.
At this time, the two sat side by side on the top of the pyramid, looking at the east, wherever they see, there was an exotic scenery, but it was indeed very beautiful!
"Rommeel, what are your plans next?" asked Cialek.
The German army crossed the Mediterranean, helped Italy to defeat Egypt, which was the primary task. Now, Egypt has fallen under Germany's control. What will Germany do next?
The two routes, eastward and reach the Middle East, can be pushed all the way to Iran and connected with the British colony India. After all, there is no Pakistan yet, and the Indian colony includes Pakistan.
In this way, the Indian Ocean fell under the control of Germany.
The other direction is to go south and occupy Africa!
Africa is the main source of raw materials, such as uranium ore, which is the best in Congo. At the same time, according to information, George VI fled to the south and may have arrived in Sudan.
Germany cannot invest too much in Africa. Now Rommel's troops are at its limit. Germany will accumulate strength next and prepare to defeat the Soviet Union.
Cialek's sudden visit this time was to visit Egypt on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to hear Rommel's opinion.
"Go east, cross the Suez Canal and occupy the Middle East!" Rommel said affirmatively.
Upon hearing Rommel's words, Cialek nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly the answer he wanted.
"Why?" asked Cyric.
"Because Africa is ours sooner or later." Rommel said it clearly: "Africa is mainly a colony of France and Britain. As our battle progresses, these colonies will sooner or later be loyal to us. To the east, we can accumulate a better strategic situation, and we can also encircle the Soviet Union from the south."
As an outstanding general in Germany, Rommel's horizon has also broadened its horizons, and, like history, Rommel's heart has always wanted to copy the territory of the ancient Roman Empire.
The Middle East was once regarded as the center of the world.
"Of course, there is another reason," said Rommel. "Head of Cialis, I remember hearing from you that black liquid gold is buried underground in the countries of the Middle East. If we occupy it, we can control the wealth of the whole world."
Hearing this, Cialic opened his mouth wide. Yes, he said it, it was something he said unconsciously. Unexpectedly, Rommel actually remembered it!
Oil is buried everywhere in the Middle East. In later generations, the Middle East is the focus of all major powers.
However, now, the Middle East is not that famous.
For example, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil-producing country, is still a backward emirate, and the lives of black Africans are no different.
Until World War II in history, Saudi Arabia was also close to the Red Sea and was an important material transfer point. As a result, British soldiers accidentally dug out oil while digging trenches and fortifications.
It was not famous at this time. No one knew how much oil there was in Saudi Arabia. It was not until the end of the war and after geological surveys that it was discovered that Saudi Arabia was simply a country floating on oil.
This is almost the case in the Middle East!
Cialek once predicted that there was oil in Libya, but it was dug out. Now, Rommel's armored troops can gallop in Africa, relying on the oil directly provided by the Libyan base!
Cialis’ prophecy was never wrong, so Cialis once said that there was a lot of oil in the Middle East, and Rommel remembered it.
The sunset shone its last ray of light on the earth. In the golden afterglow, the two empire decision makers stood at the top of the pyramid, and their figures became taller.
"From here, cross the Nile River, to the Middle East, to South Asia, anywhere with sunshine will become the land of the empire!" Cialek said: "Rommeel, I officially notify you that you are already the marshal of the empire! You must lead our empire's army and open up a larger territory for the empire!"
This is the beginning of a new era!
(I feel this picture is beautiful, what do you think?)
