Chapter 595 Rommel finally knows the North African country that was raided

Of course, if Cunningham also knew about it, Chen Yanlong, now his smartphone has been stopped and he has no way to exchange weapons and equipment, then he will feel much more comfortable, at least allowing him to see the hope of defeating the other party.

But no matter when Cunningham fought the German fleet with a desperate attitude, before the war began for 15 minutes, he was stunned again, and he felt a messy feeling in the wind that could not be vented by fire.

Because just as he was trying his best to command a fleet more than three times the aircraft carrier fleet that was attacking by the German army to fight desperately, the two German aircraft carriers immediately retreated quickly and decisively after losing several battleships.

"What exactly do these bastards want to do? They just fought desperately, and killed no less than 8 battleships, 50 carrier-based aircraft, and 10 various ships, but now they are suddenly retreating quickly like turtles?"

"They beat us up, and they want to escape if they take advantage of it. No way! I will chase you immediately! I will definitely want these German guys to return them with all their interests!"

Seeing this, Cunningham, who was stunned for a moment, suddenly became angry and cursed.

However, the German army ignored the pursuit of the fleet under his command, but instead retreated faster.

Moreover, when retreating, they continued to use the Yi 400 series submarines to conduct sniping.

Facing Germany, which was retreating while fighting, the British and American fleets that were chasing the front line for a while were caught off guard and were defeated, a group of pilots and ships were killed and killed.

However, in this large-scale and short-term battle, the German Navy also suffered casualties of some pilots and ships.

However, they successfully attracted Cunningham and all the British and American fleets to the Mediterranean.

At this time, on the Atlantic Ocean with a complex climate, Rommel and his other aircraft were also replenishing fuel and resting on the other three German aircraft carrier fleets.

Because the night will be in less than 7 hours, it will fully descend on the earth.

If you sail at night, it will be less beneficial for these aircraft, so now they can travel more, just for a while, and then rest on these aircraft carrier fleets for a night.

North Africa includes Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, etc. Egypt, Libya and Sudan are also known as Northeast Africa; Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco are known as Northwest Africa.

The North African Battle, which lasted from September 13, 1940 to May 13, 1943, was a military operation carried out to fight for control of North Africa, the Near East and the Mediterranean and for colonies.

From September 13 to December 8, 1940, two Italian field armies, commanded by Marshal Balbo (from August, Marshal Graziani), were launched in Libya: the 10th Army (commanded General Berti) was on Libya, on the Egyptian border, and the 5th Army (commanded by General Garibaldi) was in Tunisia. On September 13, the 10th Army began to attack the British "Nile" army commanded by General Viver (two divisions and two independent brigades, with a total of 66,000 men and 168 aircraft in Egypt, including aircraft stationed in Palestinian). The British Army had only one division deployed on the Libyan border, and the North African war began.

The final result was that the German and Italian army was defeated by the British and American troops, and there were heavy casualties, and there were many surrendered officers and soldiers.

And now Rommel finally knew where the North African region where Chen Yanlong asked the troops he led to launch a sneak attack, that is Morocco.

Instead of Algiers, Tunisia, where British and American troops were heavily guarding, or Libya, he had thought of.

Because Morocco's phosphate is the main resource, its reserves are 110 billion tons, accounting for 75% of the world's reserves, ranking first in the world. Other mineral resources include iron, lead, zinc, cobalt, manganese, barium, copper, salt, magnetite, anthracite, oil shale, etc. Among them, the reserves of oil shale are more than 100 billion tons, containing 6 billion tons of crude oil.

However, during this period, Morocco was divided into Spanish protected areas in the northern part of Morocco and Ivni in the southern part of the country.

Simply put, Morocco is still a colony of Spain and France.

"Does the Head of State go to war with the neutral Spain?"

So when Rommel learned that Chen Yanlong asked him to carry out an air strike and landing operation was Morocco, he was very shocked and worried and said to himself.

Because the current Spanish ruler is Folang, a person with very smart political means, and is also a dictator and ambitious man like Hitler and Stalin. However, he has one more talent than the above two people, that is, he has another talent.

So during World War II, after receiving help from Germany and Italy, he insisted on becoming a neutral country and planned to make a fortune from it.

Because he saw that the strength of the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan might not be able to fight against powerful countries such as Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union. So on the one hand, he had close contacts with the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and engaged in a large amount of strategic resources trading, thus earning a lot of wealth. He even sent the 360th Infantry Division to the Soviet Union to participate in the war (wearing a blue military uniform, it was said to be a volunteer army, just like Germany and Italy helped him back then).

However, he was secretly killed and was unwilling to send troops to the British and American Xuan, and proposed to Hitler to help him recover the temptation of Ziblade and other places to join the Axis of Germany, Italy and Japan, and fight against the army of Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

Because during World War II, the countries that participated in the fascist front were: Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Finland, and the top three countries were the core of this front.

The countries participating in the anti-fascist front include: the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, China, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Costa Rica, Norway, Panama, Poland, South Africa Federation, Yugoslavia, Mexico, the Philippines, Abyssinia, Iraq, Brazil, Bolivia, Iran, Colombia, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, India, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Liberia, France, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Uruguay, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Lebanon.

Faced with such unequal strength, Ferang always felt that he had no sense of security in joining Hitler's camp. Moreover, during that time, he also restrained his large amount of manpower, material resources, and scheming in the political struggles in Spain and the continuous turmoil in overseas colonies.

Especially after the Spanish Civil War, Spain's national economy was on the verge of stagnation, with serious food shortages, frequent famines, and people's hearts were fluctuating. The necessary imported industrial materials and equipment were insufficient, and gold and foreign exchange reserves were very short of. At this time, the Spanish army also lacked training and modern equipment, which was not enough to fight a modern war. So he ignored Hitler's various temptations and participated in World War II, just like Spain during World War I, and maintained a neutral country and took the opportunity to make a lot of money in the war.

However, in order to kill the British and American troops, Chen Yanlong was caught off guard, so he planned to raid the Spanish colony Morocco with advanced aircraft and transport fleets, as well as aircraft carrier fleets.

Of course, if Brother Folang has any big opinions, then Chen Yanlong doesn't mind giving him a lesson.

The reason is very simple. After Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1941, in order to express support for Germany to win over German relations, Franco immediately issued an order to form a volunteer army of nearly 20,000 people in the Long Spear Party, called the "Blue Division" and immediately participated in the battle against the Soviet Union.

However, for the cunning Franco, he cleverly emphasized that the "Blue Division" he sent was not the same as Spain participating in the combat forces of the Axis powers, but only the volunteer army. Spain was still a neutral country. Later, after the German army was defeated in Stalingrad in 1943 and gradually lost its combat advantage over the Soviet Union, Franco withdrew the "Blue Division" like a slaughter.

But what he unexpectedly expected when he dreamed was that Chen Yanlong, who came from later generations, was reborn through time and achieved several victories that shocked the world.

What he didn't know was that Chen Yanlongke knew clearly that in March 1940, Britain agreed to provide Spain with a loan of £2 million and allowed it to import certain embargoed industrial raw materials from allies. Britain also quickly transported a batch of food from Argentina to Spain to solve its urgent needs. In early 1941, the United States aided Spain's $1.5 million worth of food and drugs in the name of the Red Cross. Subsequently, Roosevelt managed to get Congress to agree to relax control of American businessmen's export of oil to Spain.

As a time traveler, these online historical materials from later generations are very clear.
