Chapter 432： indecisive

Historically, Germany's battle in North Africa was ultimately defeated. Among them, there were various factors, but the most critical factor was strategic importance.

North Africa is the colony of Italy. Germany is not interested in that. Rommel was only ordered to lead a small division to rescue Italy.

However, it is different for the United Kingdom. This is the rear of the United Kingdom. After the loss of Europe, this place has become the most important source of raw materials for the United Kingdom. Therefore, the United Kingdom has devoted all its efforts to guarding Egypt.

The Italian army was not able to provide strength, Rommel's strength was limited, and the supply of sea and land was blocked by the British. It can be said that Montgomery was dragged to death by taking advantage of the backup. The Battle of Alamein was Rommel’s last attempt, and the defeat was waiting for death, especially in Italy.

Back then, if Hitler knew that there were oil fields below Libya, it would definitely not be the result in history.

Now, the situation is different. Libya's oil fields have entered the stage of large-scale exploitation, and Germany is the main beneficiary of the oil fields here. Germany must protect the safety of Libyan oil fields!

How can we protect Libya? Of course it is to completely control the Mediterranean!

If the Mediterranean is turned into our own inner lake, then Libya's oil field transportation will be too easy! The key to controlling the Mediterranean is to close the gap on both sides, with the Strait of Gibraltar on one side and the Suez Canal on the other.

In this way, Egypt must be its target.

What's the use of just an air strike on an Egyptian base to express anger? It must be substantive. This is the complete occupation of Egypt!

Libya is in the central part of North Africa, Egypt in the east is a British colony, while Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in the west are all French colonies. After the British are attacked, France might still act in the back. Therefore, it is very It may be trapped in a two-front battle.

In this case, the Italian army is simply not enough, and Germany must send an army out!

Cyric's words shocked Mussolini. Mussolini would never have thought that Cyric had such a lofty ideal. For a moment, Mussolini did not speak.

In the conference room, he calmed down like this, only the grandfather clock behind him was ticking.

Ten minutes later, Mussolini finally made a decision: "Okay, then we will have a big game to drive the British from Egypt!"

"We in Germany will also dispatch a part of the army. I personally hope that our German commander will command this war." Cyric said.

Cyric knew that Mussolini would not refuse. After all, controlling the Suez Canal would benefit Italy a lot.

Moreover, as long as you occupy Egypt, you can go east at any time and grab all the oil fields in the Middle East. The benefits are too great!

Mussolini agreed to Cyric's idea, but Mussolini did not agree with regard to who is leading.

Let the German commander command? Of course not! Italy also has a very strong army. Since Mussolini came to power in Italy, he has been expanding the Italian army. Now, if they can't even take Egypt down, it would be too shameful, right?

"However, I hope that our Italian army will lead this war." Mussolini said.

According to Mussolini, Cyric expected that the noodle army would not be ugly a few times and would not admit their weakness. Now, since they want to dominate, let them dominate!

"Then we will act separately." Cyric said: "Your army, attack east, our army, attack west, how about?"

One is fighting against Britain and the other is fighting against France. This plan is fair enough to divide the spoils. Whoever wins is whoever wins.

Mussolini nodded: "Okay, then we're done. We will dispatch 300,000 troops to defeat the British!"

At present, the total number of British troops stationed in Egypt is no more than 50,000. If we mobilize 300,000 troops in the past, we will surely defeat the British!

Mussolini was full of confidence.

After talking about North Africa, the next one is Europe.

At the beginning, Mussolini visited Berlin and signed an agreement with Hitler, called the Steel Treaty, which belongs to the military alliance agreement between Germany and Italy.

The main content of this agreement is that if one party is involved in a war, the other party will provide military support by land, sea and air.

And now, Germany has been involved in a war with Britain and France. From the beginning of the air raid on British ports, the two sides have simply never died.

What should Italy do at this time?

"We in Italy, put all our energy on the North African battlefield, the European battlefield, we can't spare more energy." Mussolini said.

Up to now, Mussolini has been in both hands.

Germany, once again involved in the war with Britain and France, is it a victory or a defeat?

Before the situation is clear, Italy will not be mixed in. Italy is more suitable to be on the sidelines. After all, Britain and France have never lost.

In the battle in Africa, Italy can gain more benefits. In the end, even if Britain wins the war in Europe, its strength will be greatly weakened. It has to default to the status quo in North Africa~www.novelhall.com~ to control Egypt by its own side.

Italy is totally beneficial.

When the situation becomes clear, Italy will join in again and see which side is stronger, then join which side.

Mussolini spent almost all his life in this way, and Italy is always used to it.

Historically, the Axis powers fought against the Allies in World War II. As a result, in the middle of the war, Italy rebelled. As a result, after the war, it demanded compensation from the defeated countries. It did not have Italy's share, because they were against the water.

Cyric is also very clear about Mussolini’s statement. This is his style. However, Cyric never planned to join the noodle army to his battle group. After all, their combat effectiveness is scum. , Of no use.

When he killed France, Mussolini would definitely come and hug his thigh.

In the whole World War II, Germany was actually singled out against the whole of Europe, and it almost won. Now, Cyric has a stronger foundation, and he will never worry about turning over Britain and France, let alone being unable to conquer England!

After Mussolini was sent away, Cyric sat in his chair, thinking silently, as the helm of the empire, he carried more.

In the silence, Reinhardt walked in slowly: "Führer, we have intercepted the British and French plan D, and they have taken the bait."
