Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

As a result, the coalition forces of the Hans Empire and the Kingdom of Italy began to attack British Egypt controlled by the John Empire.

The first target of the coalition forces of the two countries was Alexandria.

Alexandria, Egypt's largest port city, is located in North Africa, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

The city is famous for its huge Lighthouse of Alexandria.

It is a testimony to the prosperity of ancient Egypt.

However, this city that has been established for thousands of years has now become a battlefield.

A large number of fighter planes were in the air and launched air strikes towards Alexandria, and the entire city was burning.

The John Empire soldiers on the ground were rising up to resist.

Since the Hans Empire's attack plan was known in advance, the John Empire deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons here.

At this time, the sky above Alexandria was full of black smoke, which was the trace left after the explosion of anti-aircraft shells.

From time to time, a plane would fall to the ground, dragging black smoke.

In the distance, outside Alexandria, Hans armored forces were gathering. They wanted to rely on the excellent performance of their tanks to break into the city.

In the outer area of ​​Alexandria, soldiers of John's Empire were also making preparations in the trenches.

In fact, compared to the situation in West Africa, the situation of the John Empire in Egypt was not good.

Since the Gallic Empire is attacking the Strait of Gibraltar, it is now extremely difficult for the John Empire to cross the Strait of Gibraltar.

Every crossing of Gibral comes with great risk. This resulted in the John Empire's support for the North African battlefield being reduced.

On the other side, since Djibouti is already under the control of the Kingdom of Italy, this group of Italian troops with high fighting will and desire for revenge are not as fragile as in the original history.

so. The Kingdom of Italy successfully blocked the entrance of the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean.

This in turn also cut off the John Empire's route to transport resources from the Red Sea.

The allied forces of John's Empire and Millican, which were blocked from both sides, could only supply their supplies through the Kingdom of Persia.

But the problem is that Faao of the current Persian Kingdom landed and then delivered the supplies to the soldiers on the front line by land transportation.

This land route needs to pass through Persia and Saudi Arabia.

Regardless of the name, Persia and Saudi Arabia are both sovereign countries. In fact, these two countries are controlled by Daxia.

The current Kingdom of Persia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are both the younger brothers of Daxia, and they all rely on Daxia's support.

If Daxia wanted to cut off Egypt's supplies, all it would take was one sentence.

However, in order to make the Egyptian side have more fun, Daxia did not let Persia and Saudi Arabia cut off the supply lines.

Only then did the soldiers of John's Empire who were selected in Egypt be able to receive supplies.

But even so, the days of the Allied forces in Egypt were extremely difficult.

This difficulty is not only material, but also military. Now there are only 60 Allied troops in the entire British Egypt.

It needs to be explained here that in the North African battlefield, especially on the Egyptian side, the commanders of both sides can be said to have a somewhat scary lineup.

The commander-in-chief on the Allied side was Ludendorff, who had Rommel and Guderian under him.

The commander of the Allied Powers was William Edmund Ironside. Field Marshal John, Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Armed Forces.

He also had a large number of outstanding generals under his command, such as Patton, Montgomery and MacArthur, the famous five-star critic of later generations.

This kind of lineup can no longer be said to be high, it can only be said to be scary.

From January to June 1932, the two sides launched a large-scale battle near Alexandria.

The casualties on both sides exceeded 30 each.

Finally, due to insufficient logistical supplies by the Allies, the withdrawal from Alexandria was considered the end.

However, this was not the most exciting moment of the entire North African campaign.

What really brought the entire North African campaign to its climax began in August 1932.

At that time, due to changes in Europe, or to be more precise, because of changes in the Budapest Republic, Adolf transferred Ludendorff and Guderian back to Europe and handed over the entire North African battlefield to Rommel.

As a good friend of Adolf, Rommel had always been deeply trusted by Adolf.

Therefore, after changes occurred in Europe, he transferred both Ludendorff and Guderian back to the country, leaving only Rommel.

And after replenishing supplies to Rommel, Adolf told Rommel that he was going to launch a large-scale campaign in Europe, so this batch of supplies was the last batch of supplies in 32 years.

And this time it was only August, 8 years later, and the next supply was still 33 months away.

Therefore, Adolf hoped that Rommel would take defense in North Africa.

Rommel took over this task and obtained absolute command from Adolf.

Out of trust, Adolf agreed to Rommel.

However, it was because of this promise that an outstanding general who frightened the world was born.

After getting Adolf's promise, Rommel summoned all the senior officials of the North African Army and held a meeting with them.

Rommel was a general with adventurous nerves. He controlled the moment of opportunity on the battlefield very well.

At the meeting, Rommel told everyone directly that their North African Army would not have supplies this year.

However, the current amount of logistics supplies of the North African Army is actually about the same as that of John's Empire, which has supplies from time to time.

Maybe the John Empire would be a little stronger than them, but not by much.

Especially now, because the John Empire's logistics supply line is too long, so at this time, their allies' supplies have an advantage.

Therefore, Rommel proposed that while the Allies still have advantages in all aspects, they should continue to attack and expand this advantage.

Therefore, Rommel was determined to launch a fierce attack on the John Empire within two months from August to October, break the John Empire's deployment, and seize their supplies.

In this way, they can wait peacefully until reinforcements arrive.

Neither the officers of the Hans Empire nor the officers of the Kingdom of Italy had any objection to Rommel, who had absolute command.

So, under such circumstances, Rommel launched the "Desert Storm" plan.

It is planned to launch an attack from three points: Alexandria, Matruh and Farafra, and directly divide the troops into four groups.

Among them, the troops starting from Farafra directly chose to go around and penetrate directly to the east of Cairo, cutting off the logistics supply line of the Cairo defenders.

The remaining three armies will cooperate with the encircling team to capture Cairo and force the Allied forces to retreat to the Sinai Peninsula east of the Suez Canal.

As long as Cairo is captured and the territory west of the Suez Canal is captured, then their allies will win this North African battle.

When Rommel proposed this plan, the officers present were shocked by Rommel's boldness.

Because, let alone the other front armies, even if there is no way to penetrate the Allied defense line, at most they can maintain the existing front line.

But it's hard to say for the team that went behind. After all, Cairo is the rear area of ​​the Allied Powers.

If they rush in and no one responds, then this team that retreats is destined to fail.

In response to everyone's concerns, Rommel stated that he was willing to lead the team that was moving around, and the others only needed to follow his plan and push forward.
