Chapter 841 German Instructor

At the beginning, after the legendary Italian air marshal Itano Balbo was killed by his own anti-aircraft artillery fire, the Italian army temporarily had a power vacuum. Relying on this opportunity, Rommel took over the command of the Italian army. Fight with this group of noodle troops.

After that, after repeated consideration, Mussolini finally sent Marshal Rudolfo Graziani to Italy as the commander-in-chief of the Italian army.

At this time, the German army was already racing all the way, leaving the Italian army behind, so Marshal Graziani had no choice but to accept Rommel's command, follow the German army, and keep heading eastward. Advance, just like this, the command of the Italian army fell completely into the hands of Rommel.

In terms of military rank, Graziani is the marshal, and Rommel is the general. The marshal accepts the command of the general, and he is already holding fire. Therefore, when Mussolini and Cyric reached an agreement, they decided to send German instructors to the Italian army. At that time, Marshal Graziani did not agree with what he said.

Originally, accepting the German command was enough to make him angry. Now, the Germans are not satisfied, and they want to install German instructors in the Italian army. This is absolutely impossible!

Marshal Graziani resisted the order like this and did not accept Mussolini's orders. In short, without his consent, a German instructor would not even want to enter his own army!

In terms of numbers, the Italian army is more numerous, with a total of 250,000 people, while the German army has less than 100,000 people. Why should they accept German instructors?

Marshal Graziani still remembers that Rommel showed a high degree of self-restraint at that time: "Is the Italian army emotional? Well, then we will not send it for the time being, but the Italian army's will to fight really can't let me Don't worry!"

When he heard Rommel say this, Marshal Graziani was immediately dissatisfied: "The will to fight? Our Italian army is not bad! We are just a little poor in equipment. If we also have Panther 3 tanks, we can also Take the lead! There are no cowards in our Italian army!"

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved." Rommel said: "It's just that some things have to be said ahead. If the Italian army is weak on the battlefield, loses its position and flees, don't blame our military law for handling it! "

Yes, that's how it was then! Thinking of this, Marshal Graziani has understood that Rommel was digging a hole for himself at that time. At that time, Rommel was very talkative. Now, Rommel is going to press his face.

Rommel finally found his chance.

If there is no crowbar, there will be no war. This reason is simply ancient and modern. If it is placed in the German army, it will definitely be shot at the moment. Now, the Italian marshal in front of him dares to say this reason in a grand manner!

In short, Rommel will not compromise any more. The German army is not enough and must rely on the Italian army as a helper. However, their fighting will is too poor. Only by sending German instructors in can they improve their combat effectiveness!

The angry Rommel is terrible. Now, Rommel has clearly told Marshal Graziani, either, kill all those who surrendered to improve military discipline, or, all Italian troops, go back, want this Army, what are you fighting?

Although Marshal Graziani is very proud, he also knows the importance. At this time, he must not lift his butt and leave.

If only the German army is left, then Egypt, the Middle East, and those large territories are all Germans, and Italy will have nothing. After returning, Mussolini will tear him apart with his hands. .

However, if it is true that all those who surrendered are shot, it is equally inappropriate. This will make the Italian army more fearful of the Germans, and they will have no power.

Marshal Graziani's inner face was red and white, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless.

"Marshal? Is there anything else to explain, if not, let the Italian army withdraw from the front tonight and go back." Rommel continued with a gloomy face.

Hearing Rommel's words, Marshal Graziani suddenly became angry: "Why let us withdraw?"

"Aren't your troops withdrawing and waiting to surrender to the British? Today the British did not take advantage of it during the day, and it is very likely that they will launch a night sneak attack at night to regain the position. With your performance during the day, the Italian army will be fully Surrender is possible, we can't be firefighters again and again."

Every word of Rommel deeply stimulated Marshal Graziani, and he immediately wanted to get angry, but Garibaldi, who was on the side, quickly came up to dissuade: "General Rommel, we are friends who fought side by side. , we should also fight on the front line, please rest assured, we will not let you down this time."

Rommel shook his head: "I don't want to feel this kind of apprehension. Once the British break through the Italian army's defense line, the consequences will be disastrous. I will not continue to take such risks."

"Please believe us." Garibaldi continued to chat with the mud: "Marshal Graziani, our army has always been very brave, isn't it?"

"Of course!"

"If you are really brave, how about organizing a counter-offensive tonight and knocking down the British Mitrian fortifications?" Rommel said.

Hearing this, the two were immediately dumbfounded. They were stubborn and said that the Italian army was strong in combat, but now, Rommel asked them to counterattack, and they knew that they must not have the ability.

There are fortifications dug everywhere in the mountainous area that spreads there. If your troops rush forward, the casualties will definitely be large, and as long as there are a few casualties, the subordinates will easily retreat.

"If it doesn't work, let's leave early." Rommel continued to stimulate them.

"General Rommel, you clearly know that it is impossible!" Marshal Graziani said: "Such an attack will result in heavy casualties, and the effect is very poor."

"Really? How about we make a bet?" Rommel said.

Hearing this, Marshal Graziani knew Rommel's insidiousness. The Italian army could not do it, and the German army could do it, but it would still show off its own incompetence!

Knowing in my heart, I can't admit defeat with my mouth: "How to fight?"

"Let our pre-prepared German instructors enter the corresponding company, and they will lead the team. Tonight, we will be able to play the combat effectiveness of the Italian army." Rommel said: "How about it? This is the only chance, if you don't If you agree, then get out now, if you agree, then if you win the battle tonight, in order to completely transform the Italian army, the instructors must stay in the Italian army."
