After handing over the newly born fearless mecha Beria to the Ultramarines, Chen Mo stopped paying too much attention to this matter.
The Space Marines were very happy to have the support of a powerful armored unit. They quickly accepted Belial as their new chapter brother, and took this somewhat special new brother to act together, executing
With Chen Mo's order to purge the city of Rome.
Seeing that the Space Marines were beginning to clean up the remaining evil spirits and the infected who were no longer rescued in the city, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction and asked White Spider to find the group of mages who were also cleaning up the city, and temporarily follow them.
He himself flew up, flew out of the city of Rome, and came to the Anglo-Egyptian coalition headquarters outside the city.
"Your Majesty Chen Mo!" Seeing Chen Mo's arrival, Cunningham hurriedly welcomed Chen Mo with the British army officers, while the officers of the Egyptian army on the side had already stood up and stood aside.
Chen Mo didn't care about the etiquette issues. He waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite and asked, "How is the situation in the army now?"
The Egyptian officer on the side quickly sorted out the documents in his hand, handed them to Chen Mo, and explained: "Due to the previous Italian army's attack, the front-line troops suffered about 10% to 12% of casualties, and have now activated
Due to the resurrection mechanism, the attrition is about 1%, which is not serious.
As for the Krieg Death Corps, because we have no management authority over them, the situation is still unclear, but their casualties are not large.
Apart from this, only the ammunition consumption of the troops and the losses of some technical equipment are still under statistics, and the overall situation is within the range we expected."
After listening to the officer's brief report, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the unit he had spent a lot of resources to build was quite satisfactory, at least it did not show any stretch in such a battle.
However, Chen Mo still warned the officers: "Not only should we pay attention to the casualties of the troops and the loss of technical equipment, but more importantly, the morale and mental state of the soldiers. Faced with angels and demons, the spirits of the soldiers will definitely be affected.
, the leading officers of each department must do a good job of comforting and guiding the soldiers to avoid psychological problems, do you understand?"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty! All the soldiers in the army are absolutely loyal to the country. Even if it is a god, as long as it is an enemy of Egypt, our brave soldiers will charge at him and destroy him!" The officer undoubtedly said something grand.
Shit, but his attitude seemed very serious, as if that was what he thought.
Of course Chen Mo could tell whether the officer was telling lies or the truth, but he had no intention of delving into it. This kind of thing itself was not too important, as long as the officer in front of him could do his job well and complete the tasks and orders he had given him.
, so what if he is a flatterer?
As long as it doesn't violate military discipline, Chen Mo doesn't mind if his subordinates have a little hobby.
Seeing that the officers on the Egyptian side had finished reporting the situation, Chen Mo looked at Cunningham and asked him: "What is the situation of the British army? You also participated in this battle. I am here only to represent my personal views on the situation."
I would like to express my gratitude to the British soldiers for their heroic fighting."
In fact, the British army was just a foil in this battle. After all, there were not many British troops following the Egyptian army from the beginning.
And throughout the Italian campaign, the main contribution of the British army was their naval Mediterranean Fleet, which was responsible for attacking coastal cities and helping to transport Egyptian troops and supplies.
As for the British Army, it was basically an infantry regiment that Chen Mo asked Cunningham to transfer from the British garrison in the Suez Canal to look good to the British.
Gucheng
Throughout the Italian campaign, their main role was only to represent Britain's participation in the war, rather than just providing the navy.
Of course, although the role of this unit is just to wave the flag, they still played a certain role in the previous battles. At least when the Italian army attacked the headquarters before, this unit was always on defense and still suffered some casualties.
of.
However, Cunningham obviously would not talk to Chen Mo about the casualties of the British army at this time. They had just captured the capital of Italy, and what was more important now was carving up Italy's interests.
So Cunningham just briefly introduced the situation of the troops in two sentences, and then brought the topic to the main topic: "Your Majesty Chen Mo, after this war has started, it seems that we should consider the occupation and governance of Italy. I don't know.
What are your thoughts?"
Cunningham still respects Chen Mo as an ally and does not feel that the British can gain much benefit in Italy.
After all, on the one hand, he is a soldier and is not very concerned about or good at this kind of problem. On the other hand, it is also because the British army did not make much contribution in this battle.
The Mediterranean Fleet has indeed done a lot of things, and indeed has certain achievements, but Chen Mo can just designate two ports for them on Sicily. As for the interests of Italy...
The entire Italian mainland was captured by the Egyptian army and was their spoils of war. Cunningham didn't think Britain could get much of the cake from it.
Unless the Egyptians really can't eat it themselves, they will use it to share with their allies.
Cunningham has seen this very clearly during his years as the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet in Egypt. Although Egypt is not a greedy ally, they value their own interests very much.
Although they are willing to share interests with their allies, they will never harm their own interests.
Of course, this is the same for all countries, but the British are used to domineering and plundering everything around the world, and the Royal Navy is also used to their power and invincibility. For a while, they feel that they have lost money if they don't make any money.
But these are all minor problems. In today's European situation, the Egyptian army is willing to participate in the war and sending troops to fight the Germans is the greatest benefit and victory.
In fact, Cunningham had received an order from home earlier earlier, asking him to find a way to persuade the Egyptian army to go north to participate in the war against Germany and ease the situation on the European battlefield.
Of course, Cunningham had some understanding of the situation on the European battlefield. Although the British and French forces blocked the German front in northern France, the casualties suffered by the troops were very heavy. The war-weariness was very high both in the troops on the front line and at home in the rear.
serious.
Especially the French. After the Germans broke through the Ardennes and broke through the defenses of the Maginot Line, the French were obviously demoralized, not to mention that they lost Paris afterwards.
It can be said that the morale of the entire French army is extremely low now. If the Weygand Defense Line had not blocked the German attack, the French would have announced their surrender by now.
