This is an important port city, and for Britain, it is of great significance!
What's the point? Open the land passage!
The Middle East, one of Britain's most important overseas colonies, provided Britain with a large amount of raw materials, including oil.
But now, Gibraltar has been attacked by shameful Spaniards. When the meter flag on Gibraltar falls, it marks the west gate of the Mediterranean and closes.
Subsequently, Spain set up a patrol fleet in Gibraltar to check cargo ships day and night. Because of the rapid decline of naval strength, the British navy was unable to recapture Gibraltar for the time being.
In this way, the materials in the Middle East can only bypass the southern end of Africa and take a big circle, and the distance has been expanded several times! This is intolerable for Britain.
If the sea can't get through for the time being, we can only consider land. If Britain occupies Libya, it will be connected with the French colonies in the West. As long as we win the support of the governor there, the whole North Africa will belong to Britain. Even if we don't go by sea and land, Britain can continue to be connected with the Middle East.
For the British troops in the Middle East, attacking and attacking again is their only choice!
At the same time, another aspect, of course, is Libya's oil base.
The German war machine can not be started without oil, and the main source of German oil is Libya! As long as Libya is occupied, Germany will lose its most important oil resources!
As for the shares of the United States, it is also easy to deal with. The big deal is to combine with BP and give more shares to American oil businessmen. They will certainly be willing. Businessmen value interests most.
And all these need military victory!
In order to open up the situation in North Africa, the British also took out their possessions. In addition to the British troops originally in Africa, Britain also mobilized a large number of troops from other colonies, including Australia, India and so on.
The start was very good. The Italians were howling and crying all the way. After occupying tubruge, an important port in Western Libya, the British commander-in-chief, general weaver, took the seat of tubruge and commanded it personally.
And their good luck is over.
"An Australian force on guard outside came into contact with the German armored forces, and they were all killed." Klopp, the commander of tubruge fortress, said to Weaver.
Outside, there are German armored forces!
"How many do they have?" Asked Weaver.
"There is only about one battalion. We suspect that this is their vanguard." Klopp continued: "German troops have begun to land in North Africa on a large scale."
The last thing I want to see is that the Germans began to land in North Africa on a large scale!
What should I do?
"It seems that we must eat this German vanguard." "The Germans have just landed in Africa and haven't adapted to the environment here. We took advantage of the Germans' unprepared to wipe out this army and boost our morale," weiville said
Morale is the most important thing. The British troops in the Middle East beat the Italians and fled all the way. Their morale is booming. It would be better if they ate the German vanguard again!
Now, the war situation in Europe is not optimistic. Only by winning in North Africa can we boost the morale of the mainland!
"But what are we going to do with the Germans?" Asked clop.
German tanks, in this era, are simply invincible!
Even if the British military industry is rapidly developing new tanks, so far, there is no mature scheme.
"Dispatch the 6th Royal Armored Regiment." Said Weaver.
"Let them die?" When he heard what he said, Alan Gordon Cunningham, commander of the British eighth group army, couldn't help asking.
Although Britain is sending a new tank force to reinforce the British forces in the Middle East, so far they are still wandering at sea and have not arrived in Africa. Montgomery's feet have not stepped on the desert of Africa.
The 6th Royal Armored Regiment is the only British armored force in the Middle East. Although they use relatively new Crusader tanks, this 20 ton cruising tank can not compete with the main tanks of Germany.
The origin of this kind of cruising tank has to start with the "allied" tank.
Historically, the "covenant" cruising tank was designed in 1937 and finalized in 1940. It is similar to A13 cruising tank in appearance. It is equipped with a 2-pound gun with a caliber of 40mm. The suspension device is obviously Christie type suspension device, and the large-diameter load wheel is very eye-catching.
This tank has good mobility, but its armor is thin and its firepower is weak.
Now, the progress of the British is also ahead of history. After all, a year or two ago, the European continent was covered with clouds of war, so it is urgent to improve the performance of the "covenant" tanks.
The "Crusader" cruising tank was improved on the basis of the "allied" tank and jointly manufactured by several companies under the leadership of nafield company. The development progress was very fast. It didn't catch up with the British Expeditionary Force, but it caught up with the present.
Tanks were produced, some to defend the British mainland, and some were also transported to the Middle East and equipped for the legions in the Middle East.
The British named this kind of tank crusader, which is also of great significance.
However, this still can't change the fact. It's OK to bully the Italians. It's absolutely impossible to fight against the main tanks of Germany. After all, even if a 57mm tank gun is used, it can't penetrate the main armor of German tanks. How can we fight?
Therefore, even the commander of the eighth group army, the main force of the British army, is asking them to die?
"We have no choice." "Are we going to give up here? Should we wait for the Germans to fight all the way to Egypt and our Suez Canal to drive us completely out of the Middle East? We can't go back! Everyone knows the attack power of Germany. We must resist it! "
Now, it is a turning point, the most critical point of the whole Middle East war. They have no choice.
"It's not completely dead. The Germans came all the way. Their tanks may be short of fuel and can't start. This is a good opportunity for us." Vivier's words turned: "we must seize this opportunity, otherwise, we will become sinners of the times!"
Up to now, the German army has created the myth of invincibility. If the German myth is broken here, these people in Egypt will create a miracle! Maybe this will be the turning point of the whole world War II?
"We can't fight head-on, but we can go around behind the Germans! In terms of familiarity with the terrain, that is definitely our advantage. "
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
