Chapter 279 Confused victory(2/2)

No one expected this would be the case.

Jiang Fangzhen has always been cautious about the battlefield in East Africa. He sent a telephone to Liu Gengyun the next morning and asked Liu Gengyun to report the situation on the battlefield in detail. Liu Gengyun called back and said that he was drawing all manpower and material resources to build a prisoner camp to ensure that there was a way to resettle 100,000.

The military captives also asked the military headquarters to draw food from the West Asian allies as soon as possible, because it was difficult for his military ration to ensure the normal demand for these 100,000 prisoners.

Two days later, Liu Gengyun generated another power, demanding that the Central Military Department be more likely to send more food and supplies troops to ensure that he could resettle 200,000 Italian prisoners.

This Sino-Italy war on the battlefield in East Africa can be said to be a mess.

To be honest, both sides are also fierce, even chemical weapons are used, and both sides also have frontal fighting between tank troops, but these are some local battle situations. From the entire battle and the general aspect, the Italian army is very confused.

Even the Chinese team was unable to understand the combat intentions of the Italian army.

Although it was a big victory, Liu Gengyun really couldn't figure out where the victory was.

From the official declaration of war on May 31, 1937 to the end of July, the empire occupied all Italian colonies in East Africa, but the war did not stop. The empire continued to consider sending troops into Libya and completely destroying all Italian colonies in Africa.

The entire East African War is very black comedy, and it is even difficult to describe it with the word "war". In the early days of the war, Germany was ostensibly supporting Italy, but in fact it has been supporting China in exchange for the progress of Sino-German relations, and even

Tens of thousands of rifles were assisted in Ethiopia, which led to a situation where Italy was delayed for a long time in Africa and it was difficult to concentrate on coping with European problems.

Britain and France clearly oppose Italy, and at the same time give Italy some secret support, hoping to delay China in Africa.

As a result, in the late stage of the war, because the Italian colonial army stationed in East Africa was completely destroyed, Britain and France were afraid that China would continue to support the war in the surrounding British and French colonies, and hurriedly stopped supporting Italy, eager to coordinate for China and Italy, while Germany

Then it began to support Italy.

Italy did have an arrogant leader. Mussolini did not recognize the reality of Italy's defeat at all. He still had to continue to fight and rebuild his old dream of the Great Roman Empire.

Due to the restrictions of Britain and France, the Chinese navy was unable to enter the Mediterranean, and there was no way to attack Italy's colonies in Libya. At least there was no way to solve the problem in the short term. As a reward for restrictions on Britain and France, the empire increased its garrison in East Africa, threatening the UK.

Security in British Somalia and Sudan.

It was not until December 1937 that Italy was forced to accept the coordination opinions of the armistice proposed by Britain, recognized Ethiopia's prefecture and freedom, and recognized the right to protection of Eritrea and Italian Somalia to China.

If people knew that the Italian Air Force in East Africa had never officially taken off because of lack of fuel, and that Italy equipped the air force with enough macaroni, frozen meat and vegetables, but not with aviation fuel, people would think this one even more

Things are full of drama.

The most dramatic one is that the Italian army did not formulate a real combat plan from beginning to end. The army that was forced to go out due to Mussolini's order was ridiculous from top to bottom. It was so ridiculous that it was not known where to attack.

A position.

If there is something more absurd than this, it is that the two battleships that the Italian Navy stayed at the port of Asava retreated without authorization before receiving the order to retreat, while the transport fleet hid on the grounds of waiting for the battleship escort.

The Italian army did not punish this for repairing the port in Villa. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian. A registered member of the literature recommends this work. Your support is my greatest
