Imperial Overlord

Far away from Libya, in the frontline headquarters of the Luftwaffe in northern France, in the meeting room of the head of state, Li Le was sitting on the sofa, waiting for the arrival of someone he knew well.

This person can be said to be a very brave and aggressive soldier, and one that Li Le admires but is not very concerned about.

"Dangdangdang." After a series of light knocks on the door, Bowman pushed open the door of the reception room, then turned to his side to get out of the way: "Führer! Here he is!"

A well-dressed, tall general walked into the Führer's room, stood at attention at the door, raised his arms and saluted, "Victory! Führer!"

"Ah, my dear Rommel, you are here." Li Le smiled and signaled to the other party not to be polite, and pointed to the sofa to let the other party sit down.

Erwin Johannes Jurgen Rommel can be said to be a rare high-ranking commander in Germany who has the ability to take charge of his own affairs.

His fighting style is witty and changeable, making him an easy to impress general.

What made Li Le even more comfortable was that he was not from a Junker noble family, and he was the commander of the Fuhrer's Guard, so he was considered half of the Fuhrer faction within the military.

Of course, although he was involved in the assassination of the head of state later, his loyalty was a little uneasy, but Li Le still decided to let this "desert fox" go to North Africa to show his talents again.

"Please take a seat! Sit down quickly! How long has it been since we met? I don't even remember." Li Le said warmly and casually, until Rommel found a seat and sat down.

"You know, at this time, there is no force on the European continent that can defeat us." Seeing the other party sit down, Li Le went straight to the point and said.

He pointed to the prepared map, and briefly introduced Rommel to the attack on the British mainland: "In these three days, we have achieved a great victory."

"With all due respect, my head of state. With the air force alone, it is impossible to make the British surrender." Rommel was not very optimistic about the current battle situation.

Although he had heard of the invincibility of the Luftwaffe over England, he feared that such a costly attack would eventually overwhelm Germany itself.

"We should find a more suitable direction to attack the British and make them reconsider the war." Rommel looked at the map and advised the Führer.

"Of course, although we sank a British battleship and damaged the H fleet, the Mediterranean Sea is still in danger!" Li Le nodded.

He pointed to the area near the Mediterranean Sea and said to Rommel: "It is impossible to attack Gibraltar in the short term, but for the British Mediterranean Fleet, we can start from Libya."

Li Le said while pressing his hand on the Libyan area: "If we can win in Egypt, we can threaten Alexandria and relieve the British threat to Libyan oil fields."

Hearing what the Fuehrer said, Rommel was not a fool. He naturally knew that Li Le wanted him to go to North Africa to expand the living space for the Axis powers.

Going to North Africa is hard work, the environment there is very harsh, but there are also many benefits.

One of the advantages is that if you go there, you won't have so many Junkers aristocratic officers on your head, and you can make achievements that others can't take away.

For Rommel, instead of wasting years under the veteran officers who have been promoted to marshals, it is better to go to North Africa while he is young.

As long as you complete the task given by the head of state there, it is not difficult to win the title of marshal.

"I see, Führer, do you want me to go to North Africa?" Rommel weighed his pros and cons, guessed the Führer's purpose, and then asked.

Li Le is of course very willing that Rommel can go to war in North Africa, but he still has two uncertain details, and he needs Rommel to give him a guarantee.

The first thing is, of course, the issue of loyalty. After all, Rommel, in Li Le's view, is an officer who will have "deviated" behavior in the future.

He had to get a guarantee, a guarantee enough to make him trust Rommel, before he could trust the entire North Africa and the African Army to command him.

Another thing that worried Li Le was that Rommel was a very emotional commander. Such commanders often perform miracles and win unexpected wars.

Rommel once voluntarily denied his boss's decision and launched an attack without authorization. Although the battle was finally won, it dragged down the country as a whole at a strategic level.

Therefore, for Li Le, Rommel must be used, but he cannot be allowed to make his own decisions in North Africa.

He must turn Rommel into an obedient wolf, turn into a devil when he should be fierce, and honestly guard the line of defense when he should be tame, so as to help him stabilize North Africa.

"I want you to go to North Africa, but it's been a long time since I've known you. I know your character and your temper." Li Le said to Rommel.

He spoke slowly, with an unquestionable aura: "You performed very well in France, which is the main reason I believe."

"But it's not enough just to be able to fight. What I need is to be able to fight and be loyal to this country and my commander."

"I hope you can be optimistic about North Africa for me. If you do, I don't mind giving you the position of a marshal or even an imperial marshal!" After Li Le finished saying this, he stopped and tapped the sofa with his fingers. armrest.

This is what made Rommel express his position. Goering's position as the imperial marshal? Rommel's heart skipped a beat, intrigued by the promise.

As an army commander, Rommel, who was born in the middle class, of course hoped to become famous and known as the hottest figure in the imperial military.

"My loyalty to this country and to you has never changed." Soon, he gave the answer Li Le wanted to hear.

"I can delegate power to you, give you as much supplies and troops as possible, there is only one requirement that you must abide by!" Li Le offered his second condition.

It's just that, before he made the conditions, he gave enough bargaining chips: he would give Rommel sufficient supplies and troops!

"No matter what situation you face, if I personally issue an order to you, you must resolutely implement it without reservation! Can you do it?" Li Le looked at the other party and stated his conditions.

"I won't point fingers at your combat operations, don't worry about that." Then Li Le added: "I won't give you orders myself unless it's a last resort."

Rommel nodded. As long as the Führer does not interfere too much with his commands and makes him obey orders occasionally, this is something he can do.

"No problem, my head of state! As a soldier, of course I will obey your orders!" Rommel nodded and agreed to Li Le's condition.

"I'm not ready yet. I've already sent someone to North Africa for an on-site inspection." Li Le heard that Rommel agreed to the conditions, and said happily: "Soon, the purchase list will be delivered to you."

Sending an army to North Africa is not an easy task. Equipment needs to be modified, clothing and other daily necessities need to be prepared.

In order to be foolproof, Li Le sent people to North Africa in advance to inspect and bring back opinions so that the troops could be prepared.

"Let the 7th Armored Division do some targeted training. I think within two months, you will be leaving with them." Looking at this famous general in history, Li Le said with a smile.

Now he is no longer in the same excited mood as when he had just crossed over. After so many days, in addition to seeing historical celebrities who had only seen videos and photos before, he also had close contact with many heroes and devils. .

Fierce and cunning like Himmler, he was also respectful in front of Li Le, and recently he was even more obedient like a rabbit.

There are also Deputy Head of State Hess, Imperial Marshal Goring, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com and Paratrooper General Student, and front-line Air Force combat ace Garland...

Almost everyone he has met has left his name in history, so a desert fox Rommel is not enough to make Li Le very excited.

You must know that because of being too busy, there are many, many famous people, Li Le, who didn't have time to summon them.

For example, Manstein, the Third Reich strategist who planned the French campaign, and Guderian the Lightning, the father of German armored forces.

If he is obsessed with looking at the famous heroes in history, Li Le estimates that he will have to see 41 years ago. During World War II, there were too many outstanding people who were born in Germany and remembered by history. Where can I see them?

You met Rudel, the **** of the earth, don't you want to meet the armored ace Wittmann? You have met the tank **** Karyus, don't you want to meet the air combat eagle Hardman?

If we see it like this, there will be too many people in line - Prien, Meier... The pilots who shot down 100 enemy planes in Germany and the captains of submarines who sank 1,000-ton transport ships are simply too many...

Every day I see one, and then I feel a lot of emotion—then Li Le estimated that before committing suicide in 1945, he would have to spend it in excitement and emotion.

"Go! Get ready! My future marshal!" Li Le gave more promises than any head of state in history.

He grabbed Rommel's hand, and his eyes were full of hope and encouragement - apart from trusting the marshal who left his name in history, Li Le had no other choice.

At least, in the current environment, Li Le personally thinks that it seems more reliable to have Rommel attack the United Kingdom in North Africa with the Libyan oil field backing it, than to execute the "Sea Lion Project" that made the Navy and Army feel terrified. many.
