Sitting in the office of Akardo Mansion, it seems that the battlefield filled with smoke is far away from me. Here are the most exquisite works of art in the world, which gather the crystallization of all human civilization. ┠┣┢┝┠To read the book ┟┠┝.`1=k=a/n,s=h^u/.=c·c=The walls are paintings of famous artists, and the medieval knight armor placed casually in the corner of the living room are all real and precious antiques.

"My Yuan!" Gascor was asked by Acardo to sit down, so he sat respectfully opposite Acardo. Acardo seemed to be holding a small meeting. In the office, there was the Dominic Prime Minister who replaced Augustus and the Imperial Foreign Minister Ribin Troop: "40 minutes ago, North Africa's 'crossing operation' officially began."

After listening to Gascole's report, Akado nodded, as a response to Gascole. Then he looked at Ribintrop and spoke, "You are in charge of diplomacy. What do you think about this issue?"

The crossover operation was planned by many political leaders such as Yuan and Dominis and military generals. To put it bluntly, it is to strengthen Italy's determination to war with a battle. Acardo and Dominis still hope to resolve differences within the axis, rather than completely turning against each other and then passively clearing up the mess.

"My Yuan.┡┟want╠╋┣Reading┠┠┢-1/k,a-n,s,hu. I don't know where to mobilize Marshal Garibaldi, so I can only analyze the current situation." Ribin Troop is a diplomatic genius. His thorough analysis of international relations and the situation was once an important support for Hitler in another space-time, and in this space-time, he is also the strongest diplomat in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Acardo.

He thought about it and continued to Acardo: "I heard that Americans have been actively engaged in frequent activities around the Italian king and the Mussolini regime. They hope that the powerful Axis powers will be partially divided within, which is more in line with the United States' interest in taking advantage of the troubled waters in the Middle East. Italy is obviously leaning towards the United States, and they believe that being in a corner is more in line with Italy's long-term interests. Moreover, in some occupied areas, the Yuan Dynasty has begun to carry out cultural reforms, which has indeed caused a certain degree of panic to the allies in the Axis. The Italian diplomatic envoy once met me, and he hopes to get the bottom line of the territorial requirements of the Third Reich from you."

In the past century, wars in Europe have been one after another, but everyone has a relatively reasonable bottom line, that is, the wars of "knights". After a war, the compensation will be paid and the loss will be cede some border territories, compromise on colonies and foreign policies, and then peace will be ushered in.

But this war finally changed. Germany is carrying out a war of destruction of countries with permanent occupation and resource integration, which makes all countries feel the seriousness of the situation. Before, everyone had the possibility of making a comeback, but this time Germany does not intend to give the defeated countries any chance: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg has been clearly classified as the Third Reich, and the occupied areas of France and Britain have become German territory. Even Poland, Norway, Ukraine, Belarus and other regions will join the arms of the Third Reich in the future in the future.

Therefore, Germany's occupation brought pressure to Italy. Now, in addition to neutral countries, among the remaining countries, Romania, Vichy France and northern Britain were betrayed Germany. Only Italy is an independent existence and this existence is not honest now, and often fantasizes about leaving the war with the enemy.

"Only those who do not advance and retreat with the Third Reich will be worried about the threat of the Third Reich!" After hearing Ribintrop's statement, Dominis snorted coldly and spoke sarcastically: "That guy Mussolini is just a fence-bearing plan, and of course he is afraid that we will settle the score with him."

That's right, but after all, the connection between Germany and Italy is very deep. If you turn against Italy just because of some news that is not worth it, it will be a big deal. Ribintrop did not care about Dominis' interruption, but continued to say to Acardo: "But this time, we and Garibaldi took the lead and kicked off the attack on the Middle East. I believe Mussolini will hesitate for a while. ┠─┟┡When you read the book ┞. `1-k/a^After all... He also wants part of the benefits of the Middle East oil fields."

The main purpose of Akado's battle in North Africa is to plan to postpone Mussolini's wavering time. As long as Italy does not cause any trouble when the German front is tight, it will be easy to deal with it after Germany turns over on the Eastern Front.

The entire Suez Canal Battle was actually carried out for such a strategic purpose. Just in case, Rommel even threw the Italian troops with a relatively vague position in the African Legion to the front line, preparing to cruelly consume these soldiers to avoid any trouble in these troops when Italy reversed.

Acardo waved his hand and signaled Ribintrop to stop speaking. Then he pointed at Gascoll with a smile, and then said: "The reason why the battle in Africa was allowed to begin is because last month, Marshal Garibaldi had made a clear statement that he would stand on our side. Therefore, the battle for the Suez Canal will be approved and the 'cross operation' will officially begin."

Rather than saying that this battle was to drive away the British and American coalition forces in the Middle East, it was better to say that this battle was to strengthen Mussolini's position. Fortunately, Germany's fuel consumption in North Africa was almost self-sufficient, which undoubtedly gave Rommel a lot of room for choice, making it possible for Germany to fight on both fronts. ≠∥·1┼k╳a┼nshu·c·c

"Since that's the case, then my mortal. I know what to do next." Ribintrop nodded and understood Acardo's plan. His next diplomatic strategy was to paralyze Mussolini and try to delay Italy's withdrawal from the war.

...

The embankment of the Suez Canal is almost covered with the bodies of Italian soldiers. Although the US positions have been bombarded by German artillery and air force, the entire Suez Canal defense line is still there, and the US team's counterattack is still very powerful.

Another assault boat rushed to the river bank. More than a dozen Italian soldiers jumped off the assault boat in the rain of bullets, carrying their guns to find a bunker made of corpses, and avoiding the bullets fired from the opposite side. They are no longer the first Italian soldiers to board the river bank, because around here, more than 2O Italian soldiers are firing and fighting back.

He moved his eyes away from the artillery mirror. Rommel was very satisfied with his surprise attack tactics. He pointed to the front line with pride and issued an order to continue attacking to some staff officers and officers around him: "It's almost time, I'll be in the reserve team to start the attack."

A staff officer grabbed the field phone beside him, and after a few seconds of silence, he began to issue combat orders: "...Is it General Friedric? The marshal ordered an attack and you can start acting."

On the other side of the phone, General Friedric, the commander of the 7th Infantry Army and the African Legion's infantry commander, came from the voice: "Yes! I am Friedric, I understand, the attack begins immediately!"

After about thirty seconds of communication, some hidden firepower points on the German artillery positions also began to join the artillery battle. The dense artillery fire was twice as high as before, and the shells of the African Legion poured into the US military positions like they didn't have money.

For a time, the Americans' frontier positions were full of explosions and flames, and hundreds of cannons were concentrated and used by Rommel, forming an overwhelming firepower advantage over the American defensive positions at the crossing of the river.

Rommel once emphasized in his book "Infantry Attack": "No matter how small the caliber of the weapon is or how small the number of weapons, you must always use firepower to support the infantry attack." Now the caliber of Germany and the number of weapons exceed that of the opponent. Rommel emphasized the tactic of concentrated firepower, which gave him the ultimate firepower density in the local area.

Just as the US soldiers were curled up in their trenches and praying that the nightmare would pass soon, the German infantry fought a second wave of crossing the river on the other side of the Suez Canal. Each assault boat was covered by machine gun fire. The German troops on the other side even used mules and horses and manpower to push the 2o 88mm cannon directly to the river bank.

Under the cover of machine guns and artillery fire, German engineers quickly built simple bunkers along the canal with sandbags. The 88mm air defense cannons of the German Air Force were pushed to the front line. After some rush, these cannons became the support firepower of the German army across the river.

The terrifying air defense weapon has become a class weapon to destroy civil and fortifications here. It fires directly and has a straight ballistic trajectory. It has an 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun with an initial degree of high-fire and gunbore. It is easy to deal with a fixed bunker. Within one minute, the German air defense can pour 15 shells into the target, which is enough to knock the target into a sieve.

Although the power-assisted loading device cannot be used when shooting flat, the shooting still exceeds 10 per minute. This cannon was born in air defense operations, but it showed unparalleled powerful power when shooting flat targets.

Soon, German engineers began to build pontoon bridges under the cover of these anti-aircraft guns, and the German infantry crossed the river were desperately expanding their frontier positions from bridgeheads established by Italian cannon fodder. When crossing the river for 1ooo German troops successfully, all the American defenders seemed to realize that their canal defense line might not be able to be defended.
