Finally, the name of the head of the head of state was finally confirmed. Akado picked "Caiser" from more than a dozen names selected by Augustus, so everyone was very satisfied with the name. The people who supported Akado's promotion to the Emperor of the Third German Empire seemed to have heard some implicit sounds from the baby's name.

Caesar, first of all, was a great man who expressed Akado's ardent expectations for his children. Secondly, the word of this name was originally intended as the heir, so everyone had already heard the meaning behind the name Akado.

Liu Bei named his son Liu Feng and Liu Chan. The two names connected together are Feng Chan. Therefore, in many cases, what I am embarrassed to say is actually a good wish by giving the child a suitable name. For example, if you are embarrassed to usurp the throne, you name the child to the throne, and if you really can't afford a house, you name the child Baiwan...

So after placing the ardent hopes of countless people, our little Caesar became the Iron Cross Duke who was less than one year old and was the successor of the German supreme leader who was accepted by almost everyone.

Just as the German senior officials were preparing for a power struggle around Caesar-Ludolph, a real battle had begun on the far North African battlefield. Diving bombers rushed down from the clouds one by one, throwing bombs one after another to the British defenders' positions with a roar.

The huge smoke pillars soared into the air, and the tracer bullets of the anti-aircraft guns were still pulling bright straight lines during the day and flying into the sky. However, with the arrival of German bombers at the same time, the artillery fire of the Frederick rocket launcher and the continuous suppression of the large-caliber howitzers of the Italian army.

The entire British position was simply a sea of ​​fire. It seemed that the German army had no intention of leaving ammunition for subsequent attacks. They were completely venting their anger, as if they wanted to wipe out the shells in their hands in the shortest time.

One after another, the artillery shells were pushed into the cannon chamber by the soldiers, and one after another made its own roar in the shouts of the artillery. One after another, the warheads were fired and charged and squeezed out of the barrel, and then cut through the air in the air and made a shrill howl until it hit its target.

Immediately afterwards, the sand was stirred up by the huge air waves. The soldiers curled up their bodies in the huge explosion, crying and shouting until the explosion left them. Unfortunately, one round of shelling had not really left them, and the second round of shelling had already exploded beside them.

Just as British soldiers endured endless artillery attacks, more Luftwaffe dive bombers appeared above them, unscrupulously pouring their ammunition, crazily attacking every moving target they could see.

Under the cover of superior artillery and air force, the German army began to erode the defensive positions arranged by the British defenders on the periphery of Tobrook little by little. A large number of German troops did not adopt a serious strategy of breakthrough, but adopted a small-scale plane attack, cooperated with special forces, air force and artillery to clear out the British defenders' strongholds on the periphery.

This new style of play has begun to become increasingly popular on the Eastern Front, and many special operations teams played a decisive role in defending against attacks by Soviet troops. Many times, the Soviet army suffered heavy losses but did not even find the main defense line of the German army. This time, Rommel used special tactics to the attack, which also had a stunning effect.

From time to time, British soldiers' arms or legs were rolled up by bombs, and then flew to the open space more than ten meters away with the irritable airflow. British soldiers were crying helplessly, while the injured begged the medical staff for help over and over again. In order to deepen the pain of these British defenders, the German army even used napalm bombs, and the raging fire burned, burning mercilessly on the fortress full of yellow sand.

The entire Tobrook is now a hell on earth. Every bunker and trench that had been detected by the Italian army in advance were taken care of by artillery shells. The British defenders inside suffered heavy losses, and even some areas reinforced by concrete were bombed by artillery shells, and no one inside was spared.

Of course, Montgomery would not be in Tobrook. He attended a cocktail party held by local politicians in Cairo at the beginning of the German offensive. Many British people were depressed by the fall of the country, and most merchants could only stay in Egypt because of heavy losses.

If someone told these merchants half a year ago that the German Navy would defeat the British Navy, it would probably make everyone laugh. But now no one would laugh, because the Royal Navy has indeed been beaten by the German High Seas Fleet to search for teeth, and even the local area has been thrown to the opponent who was once extremely weak.

"General Montgomery, we have already thrown the local area to the Germans. So Egypt is at least safe, right?" A businessman in a white suit asked Montgomery who was thinking about it. Montgomery was actually discussing the battle situation in North Africa with Patton, who was resting troops around him.

"Of course, sir, at least it is still very safe here. The German fleet cannot appear in the nearby waters. As long as we are there, they cannot be stupid enough to pass the Suez Canal, right?" Montgomery picked up the wine glass. He came here to appease these British merchants. Now the British royal family in Iceland can rely on these British merchants scattered around the world. The materials in their hands are slowly gathering in some British controlled areas. This is the capital for future counterattacks.

After sending away the local British Egyptian businessman who came to take a reassurance, and the representatives or leaders of several merchants were the better to stabilize the distribution of interests after stabilizing the situation, Montgomery rubbed his temples and walked back to Patton.

Patton seemed not very interested in this cocktail party. He took a sip of a cigar, sniffed after a while, and sneered: "It seems that my situation is better. At least as a general, I don't have to deal with these businessmen who are all deceiving in their heads."

"Torbrook has started the war. As I got the news on my way, Rommel seemed to have received a large number of arms support. His current family background is much thicker than mine." Montgomery sighed. He was not good at talking about the situation with merchants. He was more willing to analyze the battlefield situation around Tobrook with Patton.

Patton had no choice but to hold the cigar in his hand and then spoke in a frustration: "I have suggested strengthening the guardian power of Malta, but you just can't draw out ten thousand people to strengthen the defenders there. Now that Malta is lost, the Mediterranean is almost the Italians, and their supplies will certainly increase."

Montgomery felt even more aggrieved, and he sighed again: "Ah... do you think I don't want to strengthen the Malta defenders? At that time, we couldn't even draw a regiment. Even now, I was thinking about whether there was a chance to retake Malta, but now it seems that there is not much hope."

"Let's talk about Tobrook... After all, Malta has been lost, and it is not realistic to take it back." Patton also felt that losing Malta has nothing to do with Montgomery. At that time, the UK was in chaos and the local area was lost. Who would care about a small island?

"The Germans attacked three sides without any intention of retaining their strength. Now the outer positions have been broken into ruins. Rommel's tank troops have not yet been put into battle on a large scale, but it can be expected that Tobrook will face difficulties in the short term." Montgomery briefly introduced the situation on the battlefield.

Patton frowned after hearing this. Now his 8th British-American Joint Army has been rested, but even if they start to rush to Tobrook, they cannot launch an offensive against the German team before being beaten into ruins there.

"How long can I stay?" Finally, Barton asked while holding the cigar.

"Ten days, up to twenty days." Montgomery admitted: "Indian troops are incomparable to Australia."

"If you keep it for twelve days, I will arrive at the battlefield, launch a counterattack in the area east of Tobrook, and drive away Rommel's troops." Patton seemed to have made up his mind and spoke to Montgomery.

"Twelve days? OK! I will let the defenders persevere and fight for you to thirteen days!" Montgomery was overjoyed and quickly made his own guarantee to Patton.

"On June 21, we started the Tobrook counterattack and drove Rommel's troops back to Tunis!" Patton said fiercely.

An explosion came from a distance, and in the deep trench, Rommel's eyes moved away from the scissors mirror, pointed to the map with a smile, and said to the officers around him: "In the morning, we broke through here and here, cut a circular breakthrough on the British position, and obtained a very good observation post! Now, it's really time for our killer move to appear, and I personally look forward to this attack."

Not far away from the sea, the main guns of four Italian battleships and one Vichy-French battleship began to turn at the same time. After the cooperation of the British waters and the Southern Atlantic Ocean, the tacit understanding between the two navies has improved to a certain extent.

With a command, dozens of large-caliber artillery of the Navy made a deafening roar on the sea. The air waves spewed out of the huge cannon muzzles blew the calm sea in the Mediterranean Sea one after another. And with the whistling sound, the terrifying naval artillery shells were terrifying.

"Boom!" The huge vibration made the entire Tobrook shrouded in fear. The British then realized that the dense bombardment and bombing today were just small appetizers. The real luxury fire meal has just officially begun.r1148
