Chapter 870 Target Middle East

At the last minute, Lindeman finally made his choice.

In World War I, Britain has lost a generation of young people, and now, the blood of British soldiers cannot be shed in vain.

After seeing the facts clearly, Lindeman finally gave up. Since he could not fight against Germany and save the lives of these soldiers under him, it is even more important.

The order to surrender was given by him. Let him bear this burden. The life of every soldier below is precious!

The war is over.

The South African Division in Alexandria surrendered in the middle of the night, and the army led by Montgomery, who left Alexandria in the night on various cargo ships, disappeared.

Southwest of Cairo, in the desert of the Giza Plateau, a convoy stopped.

"Führer, welcome to North Africa." Outside the car door, the tall and handsome Rommel shouted to the people in the car.

The great head of state Cyric, after learning that Egypt had recovered, couldn't wait to take a special plane and flew to Egypt!

Moreover, the first thing Cyric did after getting off the plane was to come here. On this civilized land with a long history, there are tall triangular buildings standing tall.

pyramid.

In the previous life, Cyric used to like to travel around. When he was in college, he used to cycle to many places. Cyric was very interested in the pyramids, but he never had the opportunity.

And now, finally, Egypt has surrendered to the iron hoof of Germany, and Cyric's secret trip this time is to come and see the pyramids.

"The one in front of us is the largest pyramid in Egypt." Rommel actually only saw it today. He marched last night, and it was in the dark of night, so he couldn't count as passing by.

This pyramid is the tallest, it is equivalent to a 40-story skyscraper.

It is said that 100,000 people worked under the scorching sun and the supervisor's whip. It took ten years to build the stone passage and the catacombs, and another 20 years to build the tower body. The whole project lasted more than 30 years.

Now, there are no cultural relics protection organizations looking for trouble, Cyric looked at the stones outside that had been corroded over the long years, and became interested.

"Rommel, we Bibi, who will climb to the top first?" Cyric said suddenly.

It had been almost twenty years since he had traveled over, and Cyric had also changed from a young man to a middle-aged man, about the same age as Rommel.

Now, hearing Cyric's proposal, Rommel is also eager to try: "Okay, great Führer, I will not let you."

The guards on the side are all frowning, no matter who they are, a mistake will make them very nervous!

However, they had no choice but to follow behind the two of them, follow them, and climb the tall pyramid.

Over the years, Cyric has not neglected exercise, you know, the body is the capital of the revolution.

At the same time, Rommel was the same. At the beginning, both of them took big strides, almost half-running towards the top.

The steps are very high, and you have to lift your feet to go up. At the same time, in the long years, a lot of yellow sand has accumulated on it.

After running for dozens of floors, the two finally slowed down.

Rommel's breathing began to quicken. He looked at Cyric beside him and saw that the other party had almost the same expression.

It was running just now, now it is walking, and after going up for a while, it almost becomes crawling.

Finally, when the two reached the highest peak, they were already using both hands and feet.

Breathing heavily, the two of them reached the top almost at the same time. At this time, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

The sun shines high from the western sky, and the shadow of the pyramid, stretched very long, sits at the top, both of them in high spirits.

A group of guards also climbed to the side out of breath, forming a wall of people. If anyone falls, they will be protected immediately.

"Well, Rommel, it seems that you are not old yet," Cyric said.

"Führer, I have always admired you. Your vision surpasses all of us. Today, I admire your body. You are the greatest person in our Germany." Rommel said.

At this time, the two sat side by side on the top of the pyramid, looking at the east, as far as they could see, there was an exotic scenery, but it was really beautiful!

"Rommel, what are your plans next?" Cyric asked.

The German army crossed the Mediterranean, helped Italy, and defeated Egypt. This was the first task. Now that Egypt has fallen under German control, what will Germany do next?

The two routes, eastward, to the Middle East, can be advanced all the way to Iran, connecting with the British colony of India. After all, there is still no Pakistan, the colony of India, including Pakistan.

In this way, the Indian Ocean also fell under the control of Germany.

The other direction is to go south and occupy Africa!

Africa is the main source of raw materials. For example, uranium ore has the best quality in Congo. At the same time, according to information, George VI fled to the south and may have reached Sudan.

It is impossible for Germany to invest too much in Africa. Now the strength of Rommel’s men is already at its limit. Germany will accumulate strength and prepare to overthrow the Soviet Union.

Cyric's sudden visit this time was to see Egypt on the one hand, and to hear Rommel's opinion on the other hand.

"Go east, cross the Suez Canal, and occupy the Middle East!" Rommel said with certainty.

Hearing Rommel's words, Cyric nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly the answer he wanted.

"Why?" Cyric asked.

"Because Africa, sooner or later, will be ours." Rommel said very clearly: "Africa is mainly the colonies of France and Britain. As we fight, these colonies, sooner or later, will allegiance to us. And to the east, We can accumulate a better strategic posture, and we can also contain the Soviet Union from the south."

As an outstanding general in Germany, Rommel's vision has also broadened, and, as in history, Rommel's heart has always wanted to copy the territory of the ancient Roman Empire.

The Middle East was once regarded as the center of the world.

"Of course, there is another reason." Rommel said: "Führer Cyric, I remember hearing you say that in every country in the Middle East, black liquid gold is buried underground. If we occupy it, we will be able to control the world's wealth."

Hearing this, Cyric immediately opened his mouth wide. Yes, he said it himself. It was a slip of the tongue and he said it unconsciously. Unexpectedly, Rommel remembered it!

Below the Middle East, oil is buried everywhere. In later generations, the Middle East is the focus of all major powers.

But, right now, the Middle East is not that famous.

For example, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil producer, is still a backward emirate, and the lives of black people in Africa are no different.

Until World War II in history, Saudi Arabia was also an important material transfer point because it was close to the Red Sea. As a result, British soldiers accidentally dug out oil when they were digging trenches.

At that time, it was not famous, and no one knew how much oil Saudi Arabia had underground. It was not until the end of the war that after geological surveys, it was discovered that Saudi Arabia was a country floating on oil.

Almost the whole Middle East is like this!

Cyric once predicted that there would be oil in Libya, but it was dug up. Now, Rommel's armored forces can gallop in Africa, relying on the oil directly provided by the Libyan base!

Cyric's predictions are never wrong, so Cyric once said that there is a lot of oil in the Middle East, and Rommel remembered it.

The setting sun sprinkled its last radiance onto the earth. In the golden afterglow, two decision-makers of the empire stood at the top of the pyramid, and their figures became even taller.

"From here, across the Nile, to the Middle East, to South Asia, wherever the sun shines, it will become the land of the empire!" Cyric said: "Rommel, I officially inform you that you are already the marshal of the empire! You will lead the army of our empire and open up a larger territory for the empire!"

This is the beginning of a new era!

(I feel this picture is very beautiful, what do you think?)
