Chapter 827: Cabinet composition

When the German troops landed on the British mainland, Mosley was actually already eager to try, but he did not jump out immediately.

He has many things to do. For example, his party program, his philosophy of governing the country, and the expansion of his party membership all take time.

After all, although the prime minister of the United Kingdom is appointed by the king, it is not arbitrarily appointed. First of all, the United Kingdom has to elect, and the party to which the member with the most seats in the House belongs is the ruling party, and the chairman of the ruling party can be named prime minister.

In recent years, although Mosley has been engaged in political activities, the effect has not been good. For example, the number of party members in his party is not ten thousand. This kind of people simply cannot support a big party!

He had held elections in 35 years, and he did not have a seat.

Therefore, he urgently needs to turn his party into the largest party in the UK. Now is a good opportunity!

Because those who persisted in the war of resistance have already begun to flee, especially after the news of King George VI's arrival in Egypt, many people ran and followed, wanting to continue the war of resistance.

In this way, the Conservative Party, Labor Party, Liberal Democrats, etc., which were once dominant in the UK, are now rapidly declining, and Mosley’s party can finally develop without worrying about being excluded by the government.

These days, Moseley’s party members have grown to millions! Those who persisted in the War of Resistance have already left. Of course, those who stayed are willing to obey. In that case, it seems better to join this party of the same clan and origin, right?

The rapidly expanding party affiliation gave Mosley finally confidence, that's why he dared to meet Cyric. Can't he worry about everything, right?

The results of it? Before the parliamentary elections, His Majesty the King has appointed himself as Prime Minister!

"Your Majesty, this doesn't seem to be in line with the rules. We haven't started the campaign yet." Mosley said hesitantly. He wanted to welcome him. Of course, he wanted to agree immediately, but as a nobleman, he must have a bit of spine.

"This is an extraordinary period." Edward VIII said: "Now, my subordinates already have suitable candidates to serve as Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, etc., but I have always been the prime minister. Without confirmation, now, when I see you, I know that you will definitely become our most suitable prime minister. I believe in you."

These days, Baron Maurice Fermoy and Marquis de Montestuart are doing their best. Therefore, they must be given a place in the new cabinet.

The Prime Minister was not determined by Edward VIII. He immediately appointed Mosley. However, other ministers, he has already proposed candidates, and Mosley certainly cannot refute it. In this way, the people in the cabinet are still Those who are loyal to Edward VIII will not affect too much.

"I think this decision is good." Cyric also said: "Prime Minister Moseley, I hope you will not disappoint His Majesty the trust."

Cyric's words were just right, and Mosley immediately agreed: "Okay, then I will definitely assist His Majesty the King to restore our economy, and let our country come out of the war and regain its former strength."

Diana on the side has never spoken. As an elegant noble, it is best for her to remain silent at this time.

During the conversation, the British cabinet was also formed, and everyone was happy, so Cyric proposed to hold a temporary banquet to celebrate the establishment of the new cabinet, and wish the future of Britain even better.

At the same time when the British mainland restored peace and prepared to rebuild the country, in Egypt, a war began slowly.

Alamein.

The Alamein Line is located between the city of Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of northern Egypt and the Catara depression in the south. It is 40 kilometers long. This is the place where Germany must pass through, and it is also a key defense area for the British army.

If you look at the map, Egypt is vast in the north and south, and it seems that there are many attack channels. However, in fact, as in Libya, the offensive forces must attack along the coastline.

The main problem is supply. The operations of mechanized troops rely heavily on logistics supplies, and in desert areas, only fresh water supplies are enough to keep logistics busy. Therefore, they must attack along the coastline along the way so that they can be close at any time. Replenishment by sea is much simpler than on land.

In the interior, it will definitely be a nightmare for logistics supplies.

So, these days, Rommel has been offensive.

After Rommel’s troops landed in Libya, they have been maddening almost all the time. In the entire Cyrenaica area, his armored troops finally stopped in front of Tubrug. In order to reduce casualties, he applied for the support of the navy.

The naval guns blasted Tubrug into ruins, and when the tanks swarmed in, there was almost no need for them.

The occupation of Tobrug allowed Rommel's logistics supply line to be unblocked again. The German ships that were supplied could dock directly at Tobrug, and the subsequent armored units also landed directly at Tobrug.

After that, Rommel ordered the troops: No rest, no cleaning of the battlefield, go forward at full speed!

Rommel’s offensive was like a gust of wind~www.novelhall.com~ After destroying the British forces in the fortress of Tobrug, they captured Badia and then occupied the first city on the western border of Egypt. Salum.

Along the way, Rommel did not encounter much resistance. When Montgomery’s troops landed on Egypt, they could only hurriedly set up a line of defense in Alamein. This line of defense was already the last line of defense in front of Cairo.

If Montgomery fails, then the whole of Egypt is in danger. Germany can get even more advanced Alexandria, and they will rush to Cairo, the capital of Egypt!

Fortunately, Rommel’s troops were exhausted all the way to the attack. They could only carry out short-term repairs. After a few days of calm, finally, the German army's attack on the Alamein line began.

In history, the Battle of Alamein only began in 42 years, and this battle became an important turning point in World War II. From then on, the German army in North Africa continued to retreat until it was driven out of North Africa. His dream of dominating the Middle East was shattered.

And now, Rommel is commanding his legion, striding forward to achieve an ending that is not in history. His footsteps will continue to reach Afghanistan!
