The Third Reich

Chapter 829 Composition of the Cabinet

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

He has a lot of things to do. For example, his party program, his philosophy of governing the country, and the expansion of his party members will take time.

After all, although the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is appointed by the king, it is not a random appointment. First of all, the United Kingdom has to elect, and the party to which the member with the most seats in the House of Representatives belongs is the ruling party. 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 less than 10,000, and these people simply cannot support a large party!

He once held elections for 35 years and ended up with no seats.

Therefore, he desperately needs to turn his party into the largest party in the UK, and now is a good opportunity!

Because those who insisted on the war of resistance had already begun to flee, especially after the news that King George VI had arrived in Egypt, many people ran to follow, wanting to continue the war of resistance.

In this way, the Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrat Party, etc., which were once dominant in the United Kingdom, are now rapidly weakening, and Mosley's party, no longer having to worry about being squeezed out by the government, can finally develop.

These days, Mosley's party members have grown to millions! Those who insisted on the Anti-Japanese War have already left, and those who stayed are of course willing to obey. In this case, it seems better to join this party of the same ancestry, right?

The rapidly expanding party has finally given Mosley confidence, so he dared to come to see Cyric. He can't let the President of Cyric worry about everything, right?

The results of it? Before the parliamentary election, His Majesty the King has already appointed himself 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.

"These are extraordinary times." Edward VIII said: "Now, my men have suitable candidates to serve as Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Finance, etc., but I have always been a candidate for this Prime Minister. It has not been confirmed, now, when I see you, I know that you will definitely be our most suitable prime minister, I believe in you."

These days, Baron Maurice Fermoy and Marquis of Montestuart are all doing their best, so they must have a place in the new cabinet.

Edward VIII can't decide the prime minister. He has now appointed Mosley immediately. However, other ministers, he has already proposed candidates, and Mosley can't refute it. In this way, the people in the cabinet are still Loyalty to Edward VIII will not affect too much.

"I think this decision is a good decision." Cyric also spoke: "Prime Minister Mosley, I hope you will not betray the trust of His Majesty the King."

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

Diana, who was on the side, did not speak. As an elegant nobleman, it was best for her to remain silent at this time.

During the conversation, the British cabinet was also formed, and everyone was happy. Therefore, Cyric proposed to hold a banquet temporarily to celebrate the establishment of the new cabinet and wish the future of the United Kingdom a better future.

Just as the British mainland was restoring peace and preparing to rebuild the country, in Egypt, a war started slowly.

alamein.

The Alamein defense line is located between the city of Alamein on the Mediterranean coast of northern Egypt and the Katara depression in the south, and is 40 kilometers long. This is the only place where the German advance must pass, and it is also the key defensive area of ​​the British army.

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

The main problem is supply. The combat of mechanized troops is quite dependent on logistical supplies, and in desert areas, only the supply of fresh water is enough to keep the logistics busy. Therefore, it is necessary to attack along the coastline along the way, so that it can be approached at any time. Replenishment by sea is much simpler than on land.

If you really get to the inland, it will definitely be a logistical nightmare.

So, these days, Rommel has actually been on the offensive.

After Rommel's troops landed in Libya, it was almost always hurricane. In the entire Cyrenaica area, his armored troops finally stopped in front of Tobrugg. In order to reduce casualties, he applied for naval support.

The naval guns blasted Tobruk to rubble, and when the tank troops swarmed, there was almost nothing needed for them.

Tobrugg was occupied, allowing Rommel's logistical supply line to be unobstructed again. The German ships that supplied the supplies had to dock directly at Tobrugg, and the subsequent armored troops also landed directly at Tobrugg.

After that, Rommel ordered the troops: no rest, no cleaning of the battlefield, full speed ahead!

Rommel's attack, like a gust of wind, after annihilating the fortified British army in the fortress of Tobruk, they conquered Badia, and then occupied Sarum, the first city on the western frontier of Egypt.

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

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

Fortunately, after attacking all the way, Rommel's troops were also exhausted. They could only make a short repair. After a few days of calm, finally, the German army's attack on the Alamein defense line began.

Historically, the Battle of El Alamein only started in 42 years, and this battle became an important turning point in World War II. Since then, the German army in North Africa has been continuously defeated 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 has never been seen in history, and his footsteps will always reach Afghanistan!
