Chapter 410 Rommel Was Ordered

Berlin.

The room of the head of state was filled with smoke, and several senior officers had bloodshot eyes.

Cyric has come to the present step by step, and every step is like walking a tightrope, especially now, Cyric actually took the initiative to provoke the British Navy, trying to use a surprise attack to completely destroy the British Navy fleet.

Will this operation be successful?

Brausic is undoubtedly the one who worries the most. Since the Peace Bay plan was issued, he has not slept his eyes. He has been pacing back and forth in the room, and his heart has been constantly shaking.

Just after dawn outside, the first news finally came too late.

The Air Force's JU-290 bomber did a great job! Successfully blew up nine large warships including Ark Royal!

The arrival of this news, in an instant, made Brausich, who had just sat on the chair, stand up again: "Success?"

"Yes, the British were not prepared, and now our Junkers-88 bombers are carrying out follow-up bombings."

Here comes the good news!

Is it really successful?

Due to the battle ahead, there was a delay in the transmission of news, but even so, the news that kept coming made them extremely excited.

The Hood, the Royal Oak, the large warships, were all sunk.

When the naval carrier-based aircraft was dispatched, it was basically confirmed that the British Navy in Scapa Flow Naval Base no longer existed.

"Nice job." Brausic finally spit out these words.

I have to say that this plan is really too careful, and it successfully hit the soft underbelly of the British fleet. After this attack, within a few years, there is no need to worry about the sea power in the North Sea.

"Where's Führer Cyric?" Brausic looked at the empty seat and asked involuntarily.

After the order was given, Cyric went to bed, and told the people below not to disturb his rest with anything other than the news of victory.

Now, it's successful, it's time to tell Führer Cyric this good news!

It's already past 10 in the morning, and the head of state, who has always had a good habit of going to bed early and getting up early, should have come a long time ago.

"The Führer is receiving General Rommel," a deputy told him.

The Fuhrer got up early, but after getting up, the Fuhrer did not come here to wait for the result of the bombing, but went to meet an army officer.

Erwin Rommel was born on November 15, 1891 in Heidenheim, the capital of Württemberg, and joined the army in July 1910.

He went with the army to France during World War I, and then fought against the Romanians and Italians on the Eastern Front. Awarded the Order of the Blue Max by the Kaiser.

After the end of World War I, he stayed in the army of 100,000 people and served as infantry battalion commander and army academy instructor. Last year, Rommel was promoted to major general by Cyric and served as the commander of the Führer's headquarters.

Rommel was famous in World War II. He eventually became a field marshal. He was also a famous military strategist, tactician, and theoretician in the world's military history. Nicknamed "Desert Fox, Imperial Eagle", and Manstein And Guderian, was called by later generations, Germany's three famous generals during World War II.

Guderian was the first to be discovered by Cyric, and Manstein, who recently received Cyric's attention, presided over the battle plan for France. As for Rommel, he is about to usher in the peak moment of his life!

At this moment, in another office, Rommel was looking at Cyric with expectant eyes.

"Rommel, you have always requested to be transferred to the commander of the combat unit. After careful consideration, I have decided to appoint you as the commander of the 7th Armored Division." Cyric said to Rommel.

Hearing this, Rommel was extremely excited. He stood up and saluted Cyric: "I will never fail the Führer's high hopes and make the 7th Armored Division our devil's division."

Remaining in the base camp, although it is a fat poor, is not what Rommel wants. As a soldier, he really hopes to go to the front line to fight on the battlefield, where is his destiny.

And now, he finally got the chance to command an armored division!

The 7th Armored Division of the Army was formed at the end of last year. Although it is not as large as the Armored Division of the Waffen SS, the German Armored Division of this era can already take out any one and can single out an army.

Commanding the armored division is the hope of many soldiers.

"Rommel, the time left for you is very short." Cyric said: "You have to build the 7th Armored Division into an armored division adapted to combat in the tropical desert in a short time."

Hearing this, Rommel was stunned for a moment, fighting in the tropical desert?

"Führer, with all due respect, shouldn't our most urgent goal now be to defeat our old enemy, France?" Rommel was very strange. As a veteran of World War I, he really hoped to kill France.

Cyric nodded: "Yes, our goal is to kill the old enemy, France, but General Rommel, as a senior commander, our vision must be long-term, we should not only consider how we should act, Also consider how the enemy will act."

Just now, Rommel was still confused, but then, he reacted.

"Yes, Your Excellency, your lesson is right. We have to consider how the enemy will act. Our air strike this time has cost most of the British naval fleet. They will definitely retaliate against us."

Before coming in, Rommel got the first bombing report of the Junkers 290 bomber, and he knew that this bold action plan would definitely be a complete success.

So, what kind of retaliatory actions will the angry British people make?

If blood for blood and tooth for tooth, the British should dispatch a large number of bombers to bomb the German fleet. Unfortunately, the British do not have that ability.

Britain's aviation technology has lagged behind Germany. Germany's BF109 fighter jets can crush British aircraft, not to mention the FW190 developed later.

The United Kingdom, at present, only the Spitfire fighters have the ability to fight against the German fighters. Unfortunately, the Spitfire has insufficient range and cannot provide enough escort for their bombers.

Without a fighter escort, British bombers to bomb the German fleet would be a one-sided action to the death.

At the same time, the German fleet will not stay in the port, it is all in the North Sea. It is impossible for the United Kingdom to achieve the same record as its own in the bombing of Scapa Flow.

So what will the British do? Picking up soft persimmons is certain, and Germany, having a base, is quite important, but Germany does not have much ability to protect it.

That is the Libyan base!
