Chapter 43 Two Enemies

There are no clouds in the sky. The bright sun in the desert during the day almost makes the desert reflect light like a mirror, and the temperature is like a burning charcoal pouring down from the world. But all this can only be seen, but it cannot be felt at all!

The "Air Hospital" with good air conditioning is a unique equipment of "Thunder International" and the Federal Defense Forces of China. The air conditioning ensures the temperature in the airship, the soft beds and enough doctors and nurses, so that all the seriously injured can enjoy relatively good treatment.

As the commander of the Eighth Army Armored Forces, Montgomery enjoyed nothing special about the medical conditions. The only thing he was as a moderately injured person could take a "air hospital". As for other officers, they were still bumping in the vast sea of ​​sand at this time. Montgomery's treatment was due to the direct order of Erwin Rommel, the commander of "Thunder International".

This treatment is quite different from the tradition of the British army. In the British and French army, equality of officers and soldiers is nothing more than a false outlook.

But the "Federal Defense Forces of China" and the officers in the related army did not think so. They all came from the Whampoa Military Academy, and they all improved step by step from soldiers - non-commissioned officers - senior officers - and advanced officers. There is nothing better to understand the joys and sorrows of soldiers than they can understand.

Therefore, "equality of officers and soldiers" is quietly arising from these armies and gradually becoming a tradition. I believe that such tradition will bring considerable gains to the military power of the "Federal China" in the future.

The comfortable "Air Hospital" flew slowly towards Sanandaji in the sky. The ground was long winding like the common rattlesnakes in the desert, moving forward in a curved manner.

Montgomery looked out from the round porthole at his head, and wherever he looked, the long convoy of the Eighth Legion. The infantrymen all relied on airships to Sanandaji, but the heavy armored vehicles had to reach through the desert.

The armored vehicles were filled with British and French armored infantry that could not withstand the temperature. As armored troops, their advancement was only based on their own vehicles. There was no ammunition on these armored vehicles, and the only thing was the fuel and rations transported from the airship.

In addition, the wheeled armored vehicles and tanks of the "Thunder International" heavy infantrymen were driven on both sides. Large plate wheels made of aluminum alloy, fiberglass and other composite materials were made of aluminum alloy, fiberglass and other composite materials. When driving in the desert, this hollow and helium-filled hard wheel showed more adaptability than tracks.

In contrast to the British and French armored forces, none of the soldiers of the heavy brigade led by An Jinchi, who were in the "Thunder International" under the leadership of An Jinchi, sat outside. Naturally, the temperature of the engine in ordinary tanks makes people painful, and infantry often like to sit outside the car and blow the wind. Although this situation also increases the danger suddenly, if an enemy attacks, the infantry on the roof of the armored vehicle will often fall into intensive attacks.

However, the wheeled tanks of the Chinese Federation do not have such problems. Adequate and cheap fuel and timely air supply have enabled the armored forces of Thunder International to use oil. They have thousands of airships that can be recharged at any time, and have never been worried about supply in the war.

The Chinese Federation, which controls Indonesian oil fields, plus the exploitation rights of Soviet oil fields, and the Chinese Federation, whose fuel consumption is mainly natural gas, has never had any problems with the need for fuel. Therefore, when marching in the desert, the air conditioners in the wheeled tanks of "Thunder International" are often operated at full power.

The scouts who had suffered heavy infantry were riding "Tortoise Son", or driving jeeps in the desert, marching on both sides of the Eighth Legion's armored forces. The "razor rotor attack aircraft" called "little monsters" were passing by at low altitude, and the higher the sky was the Feidi Machine Group of the "Red Hunting Squad".

"This is not a decent end to the war, it is simply a marching in escort!"

Montgomery closed his eyes in pain, which was a torture for a strong general.

"This is not your fault. The troops have put all their strength into it. When the soldiers attacked, they paid a heavy price, but the war... but the war still failed!"

As a British general, it was not the first time that the British failed in the war. However, the characteristic of the British was that no matter how hard the war was, they could often win the final victory. The failure of the so-called "European Joint Force" can be said that under the planning of the British government, Britain did not suffer any substantial losses at all.

In addition, the British had not lost so badly after the end of World War I. Although there were any confrontations between Kolkada, India or at sea. But overall, military technology, military strength, and air strength are not weaker than those of the other party's battle. This is the first time that they lost so badly.

For this reason, Montgomery was worried that he did not know what his fate would be and what the Eighth Legion would be!

Then what will happen to the Eighth Legion, this is probably not decided by Montgomery, or the soldiers who are struggling in the desert. Even their commander, Sir Edmund Allenby, and Francis desperately, and there is no way to decide.

You should know that both ends of war are under the control of politicians. As a soldier, all they can control is the bloody and cruel process of the war itself. As for the behavior of politicians on both ends, that is another matter.

So this matter was not still far away in France at this time. Maxim Weigang, who had not had time to appear here, came to decide that it was up to the British. If the French who helped them escape successfully, they would probably be very grateful to Churchill.

"The French foreign corps' forces will naturally return to the French colony. As for the Eighth Legion, they will not disappear. As the main armed forces of Britain in the Middle East, they will be stationed in Egypt. Of course, this is just a sign of the existence of the British Empire in the Middle East. General, I think you can understand this! What I can guarantee is that they will not cause any trouble to our future cooperation here!"

Churchill waved the cigar in his hand, as if he was talking to everyone about the future of the Middle East.

Tang Yunyang, who was sitting there, had a slight smile.

He knew very well that in the future World War II, North Africa may not be an important battle base. On the contrary, the Middle East will become the focus of competition. After all, entering the world of the era of armor clusters and air power early, World War II will probably be a war with higher intensity, higher mechanization, and reaching a considerable technological level.

So is it necessary to consider the intention of the Eighth Legion in Egypt? Is this matter different from the intentions of the Chinese Federation in Kuwait, Butterfly City, Ethiopian allies, and Zion City allies in the Middle East?

"We do not object to your opinion. We will always be at ease if there are troops from friendly countries in the Middle East!"

Looking at Tang Yunyang who had no objection at all, Churchill didn't understand what he meant, but he couldn't tell his true thoughts simply from his expression.

"This bastard of Satan Eagle is a guy who is not easy to see through by others!"

At the airport, the "empty base" of the temporary headquarters of Thunder International, the propeller of a Hongyan passenger plane was buzzing. Whether it was the person who was going to ride this plane or the person who saw it off, they all shrank their necks and bent over when facing the strong airflow from the engine.

"Sir, the commander asked you to get there early, and said that if you, the ‘Desert Fox’, want to meet your opponent, be sure to be more polite and ignore the guy's reaction."

Erwin Rommel's eyes narrowed into a slit under the strong airflow. In addition to meeting the British general who led the Eighth Legion's armored forces in the imagination, he was also complaining about another thing.

"My God, I want me to fly over by plane. You must know that this is a meeting between the winner and the loser. Do I still have to salute him when I see the commander who was defeated by me? But..."

As for Erwin Rommel, the actions of the Eighth Legion's armored forces performed remarkable in this battle. Although the meeting with Montgomery was forced to arrange by Tang Yunyang, he even deprived him of the right to travel on a comfortable "Firefox" airship.

Thinking of the name "Firefox", Erwin Rommel couldn't help but think of the praise Tang Yunyang had just used radio to praise him. While praising him, he also gave him a nickname. Everyone must not be surprised what it is!

Sitting in the cabin, Erwin Rommel was still thinking about this when he picked up the wine glass from the "Steattendant" tray.

"I just won a war, but what does this have to do with the fox? 'Desert Fox' I think this nickname will follow me for the rest of my life!"

The small Hongyan passenger plane carried Erwin Rommel, and its engine roared uncomfortably to any senior official of the Chinese Federation, rushed into the sky. Its target was Sanandaji, where senior generals of the war fought, negotiators from Britain and France, and other people who had a great relationship with this war would gather together to complete the decent war ending ceremony.
