Chapter 411: There Is a Great War in North Africa

Libya, with a steady stream of oil, supplied Germany and became one of the foundations for Germany to win the war. At the same time, Libya was surrounded by British colonies.

Germany does not have much air defense capability in Libya, which belongs to the Italian colony, and the Italian guards there are also very backward.

So it was easy for Britain to take off from the bases of the ambush colonies and bomb these oil bases, severely hitting Germany's war potential.

There were already signs of this when they first attacked Poland. At that time, Cyric's response was very simple, that is, to divide a part of the profits to the American capitalists. If the American oil tycoons participated, the United Kingdom could not tear its face.

It worked well then, protecting the base there, but now, things are different.

Britain's main fleet was sunk, and Britain had to retaliate. At such a time, would Britain care about the interests of some American oil tycoons?

The United States only rose after World War II. Today, the United Kingdom still has the afterglow of an empire on which the sun never sets. The United Kingdom has really torn its face. The oil tycoon of the United States can only swallow the blood and water in the stomach. Will it not say what came out.

And once the United Kingdom bombs the oil bases in Libya, it means that in North Africa, a war will begin, and its own stage is not in Europe, but in North Africa.

This is a new challenge, a very tempting challenge.

Rommel already knew what Cyric meant. Rommel will fight in North Africa in the next few years, and his strategic goal is the colonies of Britain and France in North Africa!

From Libya, advance east and west, focusing on the east, take Egypt over, control the Suez Canal, and then take all the oil bases in the Middle East!

The area that Rommel wants to compete for is much larger than Western Europe. Thinking of this, he can't help but burst into blood.

Rommel is tall and handsome, covered all over. He is the image of a pure-bred Aryan propaganda by Germany. It can be said that Rommel is very competent to be a star. This is also in later generations. So many military fans like Rommel. one reason.

In addition to being handsome, the current Rommel is also full of heroism. His era is coming.

"We don't have an excuse yet. When Libya is bombed by the British, we will immediately enter Libya." Cyric said: "Rommel, I believe that you will not live up to my expectations. When the war in the empire is settled, you will will be the Governor of North Africa and the Middle East."

Now that Cyric has passed through, the war will never be like the process of history. Cyric needs someone to guard North Africa and the Middle East. Rommel is definitely the best candidate.

Rommel salutes Cyric again: "I will never fail your high hopes."

Rommel, who received the task, left the office. Cyric looked at his watch and suddenly found that it was very late.

Those guys, have you been waiting anxiously?

"Cherner, how is the situation?" Rommel went out, Scherner just came in, and Cyric asked him.

Ferdinand Scherner, Cyric's most trusted old subordinate, was an assistant who participated in the beer hall riot together. As Cyric continued to advance, Scherner also continued to be promoted.

During the attack on Poland, Schörner was the division commander of the 2nd Waffen SS Panzer Division, and now, Schörner still holds the title of division commander, but Schörner has been promoted again, and he entered the High Command of the Wehrmacht.

The General Staff is outdated, the Supreme Command is the commanding authority, General Keitel is the Director of the Supreme Command, and Scherner is to fight for General Keitel.

Everyone can see that Scherner has a bright future. After a few more years, he might become the new Minister of Defense.

Regardless of the arguments behind it, Cyric is very firm. Of course, he will vigorously promote these old subordinates who follow him, these loyal and fanatical subordinates.

By the Junkers officer corps? Although these guys were killed by Cyric, there are still guys with two hearts. They can still follow their own rhythm when they are fighting against the wind. Once they are unfavorable, these guys will jump out and come up with a similar 720 to come.

Cyric wouldn't fully trust them.

"Führer, your surprise attack was quite successful." Scherner said excitedly: "Although the final data is still being counted, we can be sure that the main British fleet in Scapa Flow has already no longer exists."

very successful! This is also within Cyric's expectations. After all, the British have never thought about fighting a war from top to bottom! Although the world is safe, if you forget to fight, you will be in danger, but it is a pity that the British do not understand.

Up to now, the British are still fantasizing about the misfortune, and they have never thought about the hatred of Germany in the past 20 years.

"Now, our battleship formation is approaching Scapa Flow, preparing for the final shelling on the shore." Scherner said: "It's just that, Führer, I don't understand a bit, why should we continue to dispatch battleships? Now, the naval base It's been destroyed by us."

As those warships sank one by one, the British naval fleet had already suffered a heavy blow, and the last bombardment did not seem to make much sense.

Moreover, it would be dangerous to let the battleships approach the opponent's port to bombard, and it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, those lunatics in the Navy, who are in their prime now, must be quite fond of doing it.

After hearing Scherner's question, Cyric looked at him with satisfaction. He had to say that Scherner had matured. In addition to commanding the army, he still had a lot of ideas for the navy and air force. In the future, he could Feel free to hand over the position of Minister of Defense to him.

It won't be too long, until after France is defeated.

"We are escorted by aircraft carrier-based aircraft, so we don't have to worry about the attack of the British air force. It is very likely that they did not get the news. If they get the news, it will only increase the record of our naval aviation." Cyric began. explained.

This last step, of course, is not superfluous, but icing on the cake, and it has a deeper meaning.

First of all, there is no need to worry about security issues. With the protection of our own FW190 carrier-based aircraft, are you still afraid of those backward torpedo attack aircraft in the UK? How many, how many to kill.

"Secondly, by doing this, although we succeeded in the sneak attack on Karpas Bay, the performance of the battleships will steal the limelight of the aircraft carrier, which will create a situation for people. Impression of a leaker who moored a target in a military port."

Aircraft carrier or battleship, who matters? Later generations have proved that the battleships are retired, and the aircraft carrier has become a stage for the strong at sea.

Now, the battlefield in the Atlantic still needs battleships. However, aircraft carriers can play a greater role. By doing so, they are trying to mislead Britain and the United States, making them realize the role of battleships and ignore aircraft carriers.
