    At the same time, the Afrika Korps headquarters of the Russian Army in Cairo.

    Rommel held a discussion meeting in the operations hall of the headquarters to discuss the next West Asian operational plan.

    Compared with the Allied forces, the response of the Axis forces was obviously slower, but this was not due to Rommel, but because of the supply of logistical materials.

    Due to the unexpected addition of Tš¹rkiye, the land communication lines of the African Corps were opened.

    But it would take at least several months to transport it from Germany via the Balkans, Asia Minor and the Middle East to Egypt. Therefore, the Axis forces prepared for three months.

    But now, the Axis forces have finally completed their preparations.

    What¡¯s more important is that the Intelligence Office has basically figured out the situation of the Allied Forces in West Asia.

    After the senior generals and senior staff officers of the German, Italian and Turkish armies from the headquarters arrived, Rommel first nodded to Mei Linjin, the director of the intelligence department, and said, "First, let's talk about the situation of the Allied Forces in West Asia."

    "Yes!" Mei Lin responded and said, "The Allied forces in the West Asian battlefield are mainly composed of three parts, namely the US 7th Group Army, the British 8th Group Army, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force 1st and 2nd Group Armies."

    "Chinese Expeditionary Force?"

    "Chinese Army?"

    "There are actually Chinese troops?"

    ¡°God, isn¡¯t that the sick man of Asia?¡±

    "Yes, that is basically an army like sand."

    Hearing this, the senior generals of the Italian and Turkish armies covered their mouths and laughed.

    Many senior generals and senior staff officers of the German army also looked stunned.

    Rommel¡¯s brows frowned. As a senior general, Rommel had access to many confidential documents, so he had read many battle reports of the Japanese and Chinese armies.

    So Rommel knew that the Chinese army was a very powerful army.

    "But the vast majority of senior generals in the German, Italian, and Turkish armies are not qualified to have access to such confidential information, so they have no idea how powerful the national army is.

    At that moment, Rommel said: "Mei Linjin, tell them all the information you know about the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Tell them what kind of army the Chinese Expeditionary Force is?"

    "Yes." Mei Lin said, "Everyone, in your impression, the Chinese are the sick men of East Asia, right?"

    ¡°But I have to tell you now, that was decades ago, and China now is no longer the China it was before.¡±

    "Especially the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which once defeated the Japanese army in Burma!"

    "The Japanese army that attacked Burma was the same Japanese army that routed the British army in Southeast Asia and forced hundreds of thousands of British troops to surrender in Singapore. But this was the same Japanese army that was eventually defeated by the Chinese Expeditionary Force and annihilated all 500,000 British troops.  In the end, only a few thousand people fled back to the Indochina Peninsula!"

    "And, I must emphasize."

    ¡°At that time, the strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was only 200,000!¡±

    "In terms of weapons and equipment, they are far inferior to the Japanese army. The final result was a disastrous defeat for the Japanese army!"

    Hearing this, the senior generals of the German, Italian and Turkish armies present took a deep breath.

    Rommel then continued: "Therefore, we must not have any contempt for the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Instead of despising the Chinese Expeditionary Force, we must pay special attention to the Chinese Expeditionary Force!"

    The battle hall immediately fell silent, no one dared to joke anymore.

    Rommel said to Mei Linjin again: "Colonel Mei Linjin, please continue."

    "Yes." Mei Linjin nodded and said, "The Allied forces have about one million troops, including the Chinese Expeditionary Force's two armies with 300,000 troops, the British 8th Army with 200,000 troops, and the US 7th Army with the largest number.  , it currently exceeds at least 400,000, and more troops are still being added.¡±

    Hearing this, the senior generals in the hall showed no expression.

    Because the Axis forces have more troops, the combined German, Italian, and Turkish forces total 1.5 million people!

    Mei Linjin ignored everyone's reaction and continued: "In terms of equipment, the Allies have more than 4,000 tanks and armored vehicles of various types, about 3,000 combat aircraft of various types, and nearly 10,000 artillery pieces of various types!"

    Hearing this, the sound of inhalation finally sounded in the combat hall. The Allied forces had a lot of equipment.

    Because the heavy equipment of the Axis Allied Forces is actually mainly German, with more than 2,000 tanks and armored vehicles, more than 1,500 combat aircraft of various types, and 5,000 artillery pieces of various types.

      In terms of these most important pieces of equipment, their Axis forces are at a clear disadvantage.

    So the atmosphere in the combat hall began to become a little solemn, at least it was no longer as relaxed and optimistic as before.

    Rommel then smiled slightly and said loudly: "Don't be nervous, everyone. Although the amount of heavy equipment of the Allied forces is twice that of our Axis coalition forces, it is nothing at all."

    "Because heavy equipment can only be effective when it is put on the battlefield."

    "If it can't be put on the battlefield, it's just a pile of scrap metal."

    Gauss, the chief of staff of the Afrika Korps, moved slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Marshal, are you talking about cutting off the Allied supply lines? This will cause their flying tanks and tanks to break down halfway due to exhaustion of fuel, and their cannons due to lack of shells.  And become a decoration?"

    "That's right." Rommel said, "The essence of war is to protect one's own logistics supply lines and at the same time find ways to cut off the enemy's logistics supply lines."

    Director of Operations Westphal frowned and said: "The problem is that the Allied logistics supply lines take the sea route, and the Allied navy completely controls the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, so it is sheer delusion to cut off the Allied logistics supply lines.  , unless the Japanese naval combined fleet is willing to rush to the Indian Ocean to aid."

    "Don't count on the Japanese naval combined fleet. They can't come to the Indian Ocean." Rommel said, "However, even if there is no Japanese naval combined fleet, it does not mean that there is no opportunity to cut off the Allied logistics supply channels.  After all, the Allies cannot stay in Kuwait forever, they will always attack!"

    Gauss then turned to Meilinjin and asked: "Colonel Meilinjin, have you got the Allied attack plan?"

    Mei Linjin showed a look of shame on his face and said: "It is very regrettable, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, our intelligence personnel tried their best and even used their beauty to control a senior British officer, but the Allied offensive plan is said to be  It is under the control of Zhong Yi, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and Commander-in-Chief of the Allied West Asian Theater, so it cannot be obtained.¡±

    When Gauss was about to get angry, Rommel waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if I can't get the Allied attack plan, because I can probably guess the Allied plan!"

    "As I said just now, the essence of war is actually to protect one's own logistics channels, and at the same time do everything possible to cut off the enemy's logistics supply channels." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
