Chapter 191 News
"Sergeant!" When the overall situation was settled, the major walked to Qin Chuan and handed Qin Chuan a cigarette.
"Thank you, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.
The major took out matches and lit cigarettes with each other and said, "Your propaganda is really impressive... Alexander can almost be said to surrender under your propaganda offensive!"
"No, sir!" Qin Chuan replied: "I believe that without strong force as a backing, we will never be able to win with publicity!"
"Well said!" the major nodded: "My name is Lucas, I'm very happy to know you!"
"I'm very happy to know you, sir!" Qin Chuan replied.
"I'm sorry for what happened before!" Lucas said.
"What?" Qin Chuan was a little confused.
"Just..." Lucas was a little embarrassed: "I mean, I didn't even want to listen to your advice before. That's stupid, isn't it?"
"No, sir!" Qin Chuan said: "That's normal!"
Qin Chuan did not think Major Lucas was a sincere apology, or it could be said that Major Lucas apologized for Qin Chuan's reputation and the importance of General Streck and others.
"If there is anything to help!" Lucas said: "Can you contact me?"
"Thank you, sir!" Qin Chuan hurriedly saluted Lucas and left. He was really not used to the flattery of a major.
News of Alexander's fall soon reached General Ochinlek's command.
General Ochinlek couldn't help but sighed and said, "In the end, I didn't hold it!"
This result was actually as expected by him... When the British "Stuart" tank was in chaos due to the infiltration of the German army, he knew that Alexander might not be able to save it because Alexander's defense was too weak, and General Ochinlek could hardly imagine that it could stand the attack of the German 21st Armored Division.
The 2nd New Zealand Division used the "English crossbow" to block the German offensive, which was only a small surprise, and General Ochinlek also had a glimmer of hope for this... So he hurriedly asked the remnants of the 7th Armored Division to lead the artillery troops to reinforce Alexander.
But before reinforcements arrived, news of Alexander's fall reached the command center.
"General!" Major General Ritchie suggested: "We can attack Alexander and let the Air Force and Navy cooperate!"
General Ochinlek shook his head.
If we only compare the combat effectiveness of the two armies, it is indeed feasible to attack Alexander... The British navy is near Alexander, and the air force has also moved to Port Said and Cairo in time, which can both launch a fatal blow to Alexander's German army.
but……
"Alexander no longer belongs to us, Major General!" General Ochinlek replied in a heavy tone: "Because we are not only dealing with Germans, but also Egyptians!"
General Ochinlek said this and Ricci understood.
The Egyptians in Alexander had launched an uprising and stood on the side of the Germans...that was millions.
What Ritch didn't know was that General Ochinlek was more worried that this uprising would play a demonstration role... Because of the successful example of Alexander, other Egyptian cities would follow suit, so the German army could be as powerful as a bamboo shoot in Egypt, but the British army had no place to stand.
Ochinlek's unexpected discovery was that home battles might not necessarily give the British army an advantage.
"Retreat!" General Ochinlek ordered: "Retreat to the Nile Delta!"
General Ochinlek dared not act rashly. He needed to accumulate strength and could not bear another defeat, otherwise the British army would lose the entire Africa.
At the same time, the German army was not able to pursue the British army.
The 21st Armored Division is now at the end of its strength. There are only 32 tanks left in all of their tanks, eight of which are "Stuart" tanks... Major Daniel miraculously returned to Alexander with eight tanks covered with bullet marks.
On the other hand, the German army's airport was also in Matru, and there were not many batches to be dispatched, which also determined that air supremacy was still in the hands of the British army.
In other words, as soon as the 21st Armored Division was driven out of Alexander, it was possible to be devastatingly hit by the British Air Force.
The fall of Alexander also shocked Britain.
Churchill had to face the doubts of the MPs again on the rostrum of the parliament like a prisoner.
"His Excellency Prime Minister!" Milne, as an opposition MP, would certainly not give up such a good opportunity. He waved his arms in a slight manner and said: "Our patience is limited, and the fall of Alexander seems to have doomed our defeat..."
"No, Councillor Milne!" Churchill interrupted Milne: "We still have a chance!"
"Oh, is that?" Milne retorted: "I want to know if the next time you say this is when Cairo falls!"
The MPs burst into laughter.
"No, this won't happen!" Churchill answered with certainty.
"Can you tell me why you believe this so strongly?" Milne asked.
"No!" Churchill replied: "I can only tell you so much that we will defeat them and take back Alexander's, and the victory belongs to us!"
Many people think that Churchill is making a fool of himself, but in fact Churchill does have some reliance on it.
Because he obtained an important piece of information from "super secrets", which was enough to affect the situation on the battlefield in North Africa.
The early morning of the next day, after a night of carnival, the whole city fell silent. It was quiet everywhere, and the leaves trembled gently in the sea breeze in the morning light, and a ray of rising sun sprinkled into the houses that the German soldiers temporarily used to live in, and then shone on Yakop.
Yakop woke up, and the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to fiddle with yesterday's spoils...a pocket radio.
It is a great thing to have a radio in the army, especially the sweet singing voice of the British female singer Vera, who is called "war sweetheart" by the British, is occasionally heard.
However, after a burst of noise, a message suddenly came from the radio that shocked Yakopo:
"At 4:00 this morning, Germany launched a surprise attack on the Soviet Union with 3 million troops, 3,000 tanks and nearly 2,000 aircraft. The Soviet army fought back under the leadership of General Stalin..."
Although the radio was not loud, it woke all the German soldiers in the house. The soldiers sat up from the ground one after another on the bed, staring blankly in the direction of the radio.
Qin Chuan is also one of them.
Although he knew Hitler would do this... he was still a little unbelievable at this moment.
Was Hitler crazy? At this time, he launched an attack on the Soviet Union!
