Chapter 744 Mine Array

Zhang Chi and Henry had a very speculative conversation, after all, the two basically had the same tactical concepts.

To be precise, after a conversation, Henry could almost be regarded as admiration for Zhang Chi.

As mentioned before, Henry was a member of the radical, but his thoughts changed to radicals. That is, after the outbreak of the war, he was immersed in the quagmire of trench warfare during World War I and others, and he couldn't extricate himself. Until Germany used "blitzkrieg" to prove that the tactics of World War I had lagged behind, especially the French Army, which claimed to be the world's most powerful, surrendered in front of Germany in just one month, which made Henry and others wake up as if they were dreaming.

Of course, only young people or those who are brave enough to admit their mistakes will "awaken as if they were dreaming". Many British officials, including Montgomery, still remained in the same way as World War I.

Although Henry "wakes up like a dream", that is, he knows that the British Army's strategy and tactics are wrong, he doesn't know what to do, so he naturally takes the German team as an example.

But Zhang Chi was able to defeat Henry repeatedly, that is, Germany... This surprised Henry.

Page was always worried. When Zhang Chi asked, she would only answer: "No, I'm fine!"

It was not until the separation that Page said to Zhang Chi: "I don't know what's wrong with me. If it were the past, I would definitely be excited when I heard about the Battle of Alexandria, because it was a great subject. But now... I promised me that I shouldn't happen again, okay?"

Zhang Chi looked at Page's eyes and nodded silently, although he knew that this was not something he could control.

When Page and Henry gradually moved away, Zhang Chi suddenly found that he tasted the "bloody Mary" flavor... with a little bitterness in the spicy state, a little sweetness in the bitterness in the bitterness, and everything was contained in the bright red like war and blood.

This made Zhang Chi unable to help but turn back to the "Crystal Palace" and order another glass of "Bloody Mary". While tasting wine, he looked at the drizzle outside the window.

It was raining in London at this time, and there was also a person standing in front of the window while drinking and looking at the view outside the window.

This person is British Prime Minister Churchill. Unlike Zhang Chi, he was holding Scotch whiskey, a spirit of more than 40 degrees... Churchill is famous for drinking. When he reported on the Boer War, he included 18 bottles of whiskey, 36 bottles of wine and 6 bottles of brandy in his luggage.

He even inspired the soldiers who went to the front line in this way: "Gentlemen, remember that we are not just fighting for Britain, but also for champagne!"

Churchill was not in a good mood at this time. When he was in a bad mood, he usually held a cigar in one hand and a wine glass in the other. Of course, he often did this when he was in a good mood.

"Damn it, how could they say that!" Churchill angrily said to his assistant: "Isn't the victory of the Chinese people supported by us? Can't it be considered our victory?"

"Prime Minister!" the assistant was silent for a moment before plucking up the courage and said, "Although this is true, but... you know, they just wanted to find an excuse to attack you, and this victory was obviously not enough to shut up, because it is indeed mostly the credit of the Chinese team!"

Churchill and his assistants discussed the meeting that had just been held at the MPs. Although the Commonwealth Army had won major victories in Alexandria's annihilation of Germany and the Italian two armored divisions in North Africa, the MPs still planned to vote for Churchill on the grounds that: "This battle was fought by the Chinese, and we believe that no matter who is the prime minister, they can win in Alexandria!"

After thinking about it, Churchill said to his assistant: "So, tell Monty (Mongomery's nickname) that it's time to give the Germans a fatal blow, and only use the British and British troops, do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister!"

So the order was quickly sent to Montgomery.

Montgomery was stunned when he saw this telegram and launched an attack as soon as possible? And he only used British and British troops?

Montgomery couldn't help but turn his attention to Ramsden. Ramsden could only shrug, meaning that if he had known today, why should he have been there? If I had listened to the Chinese, and had to break through Ronmel's defense line in one go and gain the initiative in the war, wouldn't everything be easily solved now?

Of course, Ramsden would not say this.

After a moment of silence, Montgomery said, "Let Major General Zhang Chi come here!"

"General!" Ramsden replied: "But what happened last time had already made him very upset, and the Prime Minister pointed out that it was for the British troops!"

"I know!" Montgomery replied: "But Major General Zhang Chi is also our staff officer, right? I don't plan to use Chinese troops!"

Ramsden nodded and then went to call Zhang Chi.

Half an hour later, Zhang Chi came to the Montgomery command center, but this time he came by plane. Ramsden sent a special transport plane for Zhang Chi.

On the one hand, this can be said to be an apology to Zhang Chi, and on the other hand, it is also that military information is urgent and does not allow waste of time.

"General!" Zhang Chi saluted in front of Montgomery.

"Major General!" said Montgomery: "We are ready to attack the Germans' defense. What do you think?"

"Are you going to attack?" Zhang Chi couldn't help laughing: "It's faster than I thought!"

"Yes!" Montgomery nodded.

"But..." Zhang Chi continued: "It has been two and a half weeks since the Battle of Alexandria, and the Germans have enough time to prepare!"

Montgomery nodded again.

"What preparation is it?" Zhang Chi asked.

"They buried hundreds of thousands of mines in front of the position!" Montgomery said: "The minefield is sixteen kilometers long, and there are also the anti-tank trenches you dug in Alexandria. The Germans learned it!"

"This is very good!" Zhang Chi said only these three words and then disappeared.

Ramsden cleared his throat and said, "Perhaps we can open the way with artillery fire, after all, we have enough shells. Do you think so? Major General!"

"Maybe!" Zhang Chi replied.

"Maybe what does it mean?" Montgomery asked.

"Maybe the meaning is that the enemy's mines may move!"

"Will the mine move?"
