The Third Reich in Desperation

The Isle of Man was not the only French spoils, the "generous" Reinhardt also gave away British India.

The western part of India was directly allocated to France, and the eastern part was allocated to Norway and Italy.

In addition, Reinhardt retained a small piece of Indian land as a colony for Mosley's London government.

Among the many British governments, Reinhardt only gave Mosley's England government such special treatment. Such hints couldn't be more famous.

Of course, Germany, as the leader of the Allied Powers, gave the distribution like this, but the actual appearance after getting it is another matter.

Among the several countries that partitioned India, except for France, which relied on the Vietnamese colony and had the opportunity to control the West India it had acquired, the rest of the partitioned countries lacked control over the Indian region.

And once France really wins India, it will be tantamount to a death feud with Britain.Coupled with the fact that the British surprise attack severely damaged the French navy, the hatred interaction between the two countries has completely fallen.

Just as in another time and space, Hungary and Romania are enemies of the German brothers, France and Britain in this time and space have also forged a death feud with each other.

In addition, the French colonial system is also very fragile, even in the face of India's independence, it will be powerless in a short time.Although the governments of the other three countries have carved up eastern India and cheered up the people, they will also be helpless in the face of India's independence.

However, India has lost the original British government, which is now suppressed by the British government of Northern Ireland where Prime Minister Gort is located. The new carve-up country has weak control, and independence is a matter of time.

In this way, France, Norway, Italy, and Mosley's British government can only help Germany defeat the Soviet Union as soon as possible, so that they can free up their hands to suppress those Indians who dare to make trouble, and finally guarantee their own interests.

On the other hand, after receiving news that after Reinhardt consciously supported Mosley, the London government of England, the Belfast government of Northern Ireland, where Gort belongs, is also eager to curry favor with the German government for its future status.

First of all, the Duke of Gott personally wrote a letter to Montgomery, whom he single-handedly selected, asking him to tell the Allied forces in Africa that he had received the Belfast government's surrender instructions, and then held a grand surrender ceremony.

Those politicians in the Northern Ireland government see very clearly that since defeating Germany has become a dream in the mirror, all they can do is to please Germany, like Vichy France, and follow Germany as a younger brother If you are lucky, you can get back some benefits, and make up for some of the losses caused by fighting against Germany.

The current situation of Vichy France, that is, Pétain's French country, is obvious to all.

France, which was originally defeated, suddenly became an important member of the military bloc of the Allied Powers.Not to mention the re-expansion of the army, it also kept the vast colonial scope before the war.

In addition, the French also received a lot of war dividends from the defeated Britain. Not to mention that the Isle of Man, one of the British Isles, was divided into France, even western India became a French colony. The colonies are combined to form the Asiatic colonies of France.

Today, the opportunity remains, the Allies are at war with the Soviet Union again.

The Soviet Union, which has a vast land and abundant resources, has a vast territory. Doesn't it know how many war dividends are waiting to be divided up? !

After the defeat, the British government of Northern Ireland and Chamberlain's Scottish British government had such a new direction of struggle-as long as they sent troops to the Soviet Union in time, everything lost in this war could be doubled back on the Eastern battlefield.

Look at Spain, Vichy France, Italy, Norway, Romania, Finland, Bulgaria.These countries have all put their best efforts into sending their most elite combat forces to join the Eastern battlefield where the Germans are the finale.

If you don't hurry up and join the big family of the Allies, you will miss out on many rich rewards when you share the spoils in the future.

With such a huge base in the Soviet Union, it is unrealistic for Germany to want to swallow it all by itself.

Anyone who is a politician with a political vision can see that after this battle is over, even if the leftovers left by the Germans are enough to make the little brothers of the Allies earn a lot of money!

It must be integrated into it quickly!

In order to please the German head of state Reinhardt, the politicians under Gott even found out the black material of Reinhardt's enemy, that is, Churchill, and sent them to Berlin for use in Berlin's trial of Churchill.

Interestingly, the Belfast British government, which discriminates against homosexuals, sent Reinhardt to Berlin to present to the instigator Reinhardt the homosexual stigma of Churchill in the Turing incident a few years ago. Inhardt looked.

The poor war criminal Winston Churchill awaiting trial in Berlin will soon be used by many governments as the result of his trial as a sign of the end of this war.

This is the result that everyone wants to see. Put all the war crimes on Churchill alone, and the end of Churchill's life will turn the entire British campaign over...

Text 707: Whether to Fight the Battle of Alamein

Africa, Cairo, Egypt.

Montgomery is facing a difficult decision.

Between the war and the war, there seemed to be no hesitation.

Although after the failure of Operation Tomahawk, Montgomery, who was good at learning, quickly copied Rommel's fraudulent methods and sent people to carry out a large-scale deceptive arrangement called "Operation Bertram" on the border of Egypt.

Montgomery sent some Egyptian militiamen and workers with weak combat effectiveness to dump some discarded items in the northern part of the border, such as dismantled suitcases and scrapped cars.

Then, Montgomery sent his confidant officers and people to camouflage these discarded items, making them look like ammunition depots, oil tanks and grain silos.

Montgomery's intentions are very directional, he just wants to make it easy for Rommel's reconnaissance planes to find them.

At the same time, Montgomery also sent three engineering platoons from the Australian army to build a fake oil pipeline leading to the north, and deliberately sent a large number of local Egyptian workers to participate in the construction.

These local workers with fake eyes will easily reveal intelligence information and induce Rommel to make a wrong judgment that the main force of the Commonwealth forces is deployed in the north.

In order to further confuse the German, Italian and French allied forces in Africa, Montgomery also arranged his own guard company and covered the jeep with plywood on the northern border to make it look like a tank, and some crude models in the north were also covered with plywood , looks like a large transport team.

It can be said that Montgomery has used the fraudulent means he learned from Rommel to the extreme.

And the real main force in his hands, the 3 Australian battalions and the 3 fully trained Egyptian divisions, were deployed by him in the middle of the border.

In order to make this deception seamless, Montgomery also implemented a strict secrecy system within the Eighth Army.Except for the battalion commanders of the three Australian infantry battalions, Montgomery strictly enforced the secrecy measures for the officers below the middle brigade of the Egyptian army and only communicated what local orders they were going to execute.

On the entire northern border, there is only one Kotwo stronghold where troops are stationed.

And the supreme commander of this stronghold is the dignified British general Wavell, "the man who successfully blocked Rommel's fire detection."

Montgomery suppressed Wavell and arranged him to the northern defense line, not all for the sake of punishing him.In fact, Wavell's current public position is Montgomery's deputy, the supreme commander of the front command on the Egyptian border, leading a mobile force and the northern border garrison.

Of course, Wavell actually commanded only two companies of Egyptian infantry.As for the so-called mobile units, they were just model tanks.

The fact that Montgomery went to such great lengths to deceive and deliberately exaggerate the strength of the Commonwealth troops on Egypt's northern frontier was nothing more than a blindfold to cover up the true emptiness of the troops.

According to Montgomery's vision, when Rommel believed that there were too many enemy troops in the north, he should choose to move the main attack direction to the central border, and then launch his best "right elbow tactic".

In this way, it happened to meet Montgomery's main force deployed in the central part.In this way, Montgomery had the confidence to resist a little bit.

On the other hand, a total of 4 M3 Shermans sent by the United States were quickly added to Montgomery's hands.This tank is no more serious than the M3A[-], a tank that was eliminated by the US military itself.

Compared with the M3A3 light tanks sent to the British mainland, Roosevelt, under Marshall's analysis, further realized that the British Commonwealth troops that were resisting in Africa were "strategic cannon fodder" of great significance to the United States.So, for Montgomery, the United States finally generously took out a good thing, the M4 Sherman tank.

M4 Sherman medium tank, boasted by later generations as "the hero of the tank".Although the firepower is slightly insufficient, its sturdiness, reliability and durability are very good, and it can be regarded as the backbone of the tank power used by the US military itself.Even, the M4 Sherman tank can be used as a heavy tank, although it is not fully qualified for this role.

With these 300 precious tanks, Montgomery quickly left Wavell with the remnants of only more than 20 tanks, supplementing and expanding the Seventh Armored Division for strengthening.

This is also the only British army in Montgomery's hands. It is all reorganized from the broken troops left after Wavell's failure and supplemented with American equipment.It has not yet formed combat effectiveness, and was left by Montgomery as a reserve team behind the Alamein defense line.

According to Montgomery's original idea, he just wanted to attract Rommel near the Alamein line of defense, which "will keep them in a situation where it is always difficult to supply."And just wait until the Commonwealth troops under his command are fully prepared in all aspects and get enough US military equipment, he can always rely on this line of defense, relying on Rommel to make up for the unsustainable difficulties, and consume it for a long time.

That's right, even in this situation, Montgomery didn't think about launching a counterattack, but dragged it down with trench warfare, seeking stability rather than victory.

It is a pity that the British Mediterranean Fleet surrendered to the German Navy because a large number of "Siebel" flat-bottomed ferries will be put into the ranks of the Allied logistics supply ships.The defect that Montgomery thought was difficult for the Allies to supply supplies has become no longer difficult.

Under the reminder of Reinhardt, the flat-bottomed ferry invented by the German engineer Siebel in advance has a very shallow draft, and torpedoes can slip past it.

Since the Mediterranean Sea is no longer dangerous and there is no harassment from the British Mediterranean Fleet, the rapid-fire anti-aircraft guns expected to be equipped on the Siebel flat-bottomed ferry have also been canceled and replaced with more transport volume.
