In history, Germany's battle in North Africa ended in failure. There are various factors, but the most critical factor is strategic importance.
North Africa is the colony of Italy. Germany is not interested in it. Rommel is only ordered to lead a partial division to rescue Italy.
However, it is different for Britain. It is the rear of Britain. After losing Europe, it has become the most important supplier of raw materials for Britain. Therefore, Britain has devoted its national strength to guard Egypt.
Italy's army suck up, Rommel's strength is limited, and supplies of both land and sea are blocked by Britain. It can be said that Montgomerie was dragged to death by using the support advantage. The battle of Alamein was Rommel's last attempt. If he lost, he had to wait for death, especially in Italy.
At that time, if Hitler knew that there were oil fields under Libya, it would never be the result in history.
Now, the situation is different. Libya's oil fields have entered the stage of large-scale exploitation, and Germany is the main beneficiary of the oil fields here. Germany must protect the safety of Libya's oil fields!
How can we protect Libya? That, of course, is to completely control the Mediterranean!
If we turn the Mediterranean into our own internal lake, it will be too easy to transport Libya's oil fields! The key to controlling the Mediterranean is to plug the gap on both sides, the Strait of Gibraltar on one side and the Suez Canal on the other.
In this way, Egypt must be the goal of its own side.
What's the use of just airstrikes on Egyptian bases to express anger? We must make substantial, which is the complete occupation of Egypt!
Libya is a British colony in the middle of North Africa and Egypt in the East, while Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia in the West belong to French colonies. When Britain is attacked, France may act in the back. Therefore, it is likely to fall into the dilemma of two-line combat.
In this case, the Italian army is not enough. Germany must send troops!
Chirac's words shocked Mussolini. Mussolini would never have thought that Chirac had such a lofty ideal. For a moment, Mussolini didn't speak.
In the conference room, he calmed down. Only the floor clock behind him was ticking.
Ten minutes later, Mussolini finally made a decision: "OK, let's have a big fight to drive the British away from Egypt!"
"We in Germany will also dispatch some troops. I personally hope that our German commander will command the war." Said Shrek.
Chirac knew that Mussolini would not refuse. After all, Italy would benefit greatly from controlling the Suez Canal.
Moreover, as long as we occupy Egypt, we can move eastward at any time and grab all the oil fields in the Middle East. The benefits are too great!
Mussolini agreed with xierik's idea, but Mussolini did not agree on who dominated.
Let the German commander command? Of course not! Italy also has a strong army. Since Mussolini came to power in Italy, he has been expanding the Italian army. Up to now, if they can't even win Egypt, is it too embarrassing?
"However, I hope that our Italian army will lead the war." Said Mussolini.
Mussolini's words, as expected by Chirac, the noodle army will not admit their weakness until they are ugly several times. Now, since they want to dominate, let them dominate!
"Well, let's act separately." Shirek said, "your army, attack East, our army, attack West, how about it?"
One is fighting against Britain and the other is fighting against France. This plan is fair enough to divide the spoils. Whoever wins will win.
Mussolini nodded: "well, let's make a deal. We will send 300000 troops to defeat the British!"
At present, there are only 50000 British troops stationed in Egypt. If you mobilize 300000 troops, you will surely defeat the British!
Mussolini was full of confidence.
After talking about North Africa, the next one is Europe.
At first, Mussolini visited Berlin and signed an agreement with Hitler, called the steel treaty, which belongs to the military alliance agreement between Germany and Italy.
The main content of this agreement is that if one party is involved in a war, the other party will give military support by land, sea and air.
Now, Germany has been involved in the war with Britain and France. From the air raid on British ports, the two sides simply never die.
What should Italy do at this time?
"In Italy, we focus on the battlefield in North Africa and Europe. We can't spare more energy." Said Mussolini.
So far, Mussolini is also on the right and left.
Germany, once again involved in the war with Britain and France, is it victory or failure?
Before the situation is clear, Italy will not get involved. Italy is more suitable to watch. After all, Britain and France have never lost.
In the fight in Africa, Italy can gain more benefits. In the end, even if Britain wins the war in Europe, its strength will be greatly weakened. It will acquiesce to the status quo in North Africa and control Egypt by its own side.
Italy is totally good.
When the situation is clear, Italy will join in to see which side is stronger and join which side.
Mussolini spent almost all his life in this way, and Italy is always used to it.
In history, World War II was the result of the axis powers against the allies. Half of the war, Italy revolted. As a result, after the war, it asked the defeated countries for compensation. There was no Italian share, because they turned against the water.
Xierik is also very clear about Mussolini's statement. This is his style. However, xierik has never planned to join his own regiment. After all, their combat effectiveness is slag and useless.
When his side has killed France, Mussolini will definitely come and hold his thigh.
In the whole world War II, in fact, Germany beat the whole Europe and almost won. Now, Chirac has a stronger foundation. He will never worry about not turning over Britain and France, let alone conquering the English Channel!
After sending off Mussolini, Chirac sat in his chair and thought silently that as the helmsman of the Empire, he carried more.
In the silence, Reinhart came in slowly: "Fuehrer, we have intercepted Plan D of Britain and France, and they are on the hook."
