Chapter 1898 As expected of Li Qiwei
"There is nothing impossible." Li Qiwei said coldly, "Never pin your hopes on assumptions or preset conditions, otherwise you will definitely be kicked hard by the cruel reality."
Slim's face turned red when Li Qiwei said it, and she was speechless for a moment.
Zhong Yi asked Li Qiwei again: "Col. Li Qiwei, then in your opinion, what kind of offensive tactics should the Allied forces adopt?"
Although Li Qiwei was just a small colonel, he was not afraid of his heart and said loudly: "I think that at this stage, the Allied forces on the battlefield in West Asia are weaker than those of the Germans in terms of strength, weapons and combat qualities."
"So the stupidest choice is to choose to fight head-on with the German, Italian and Turkish coalition forces."
"Only idiots who know nothing about military affairs will make this choice."
When he said this, Li Qiwei deliberately turned his head and looked at Slim.
"Fake Oil, what do you think I'm doing?" Slim said angrily, "It makes me seem like that idiot."
"Oh God, I didn't say that, you admitted it yourself." Li Qi shrugged slightly and said playfully.
"Farke Oil, I want to duel with you!" Sley was furious and rushed over to fight with Li Qiwei, but was grabbed by several British generals around him.
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Col. Li Qiwei, continue to talk."
"Okay, Commander-in-Chief." Li Qi said slightly, "At this stage, the Allies can only choose a solid stronghold and wait for the Axis Team to attack."
"Then fight a war of attrition with the Axis Team."
"Through the war of attrition, the advantages of the logistics supply line are used to consume a large amount of military supplies of the Axis Team."
"Especially fuel, this is the biggest shortcoming of the Axis Team. As long as the Axis Team's fuel is exhausted, their aircraft and tanks will become decorations."
"By that time, it will be time for the Allied forces to launch a large-scale counterattack."
"Baoba!" Zhong Yi couldn't help but applaud because Li Qiwei's ideas were exactly the same as his.
After all, it was Li Qiwei, the man who caused General Peng to have a headache on the Korean battlefield in the future.
"Next question." Zhong Yi said again, "Which stronghold should the Allies choose to fight the attritional team with the Axis Team? Or which target do you think the Axis Team will attack next?"
"Here." Li Qiwei pointed to the map heavily and said without hesitation, "Baghdad!"
The British, American and senior generals and staff members present all looked at Baghdad.
"This is impossible!" Slim finally found his own counterattack opportunity and said excitedly, "Next, the Axis Team will definitely go south from Egypt to Sudan to occupy the oil field."
"You said just now that what Axis Team lacks the most is fuel."
"So, what they should prioritize now is fuel supply."
"So, the Axis Team will definitely go south to Sudan and occupy the Sudan oil fields next."
"Idiots are idiots, and they can only see an inch of distance." Li Qi smiled slightly, "If the Axis** team really goes south to Sudan, what should they do if the Allied forces send troops to Syria to cut off its logistics supply line."
"At that time, even if the entire Sudanese crude oil is mined, it will not be transported back to Europe."
"On the contrary, if the Axis Team sends troops to occupy the entire Middle East, it will not only guarantee the passage from Egypt through Syria, Türkiye, and then to Europe, but also obtain crude oil from the entire Middle East!"
"With the Middle East crude oil, why should the Axis Team still rob the Sudan oil fields from a distance?"
"This..." Slim felt that he was in a bad mood and was about to cry by himself.
Li Qiwei continued: "So I dare to assert that the Axis** team will definitely attack Badag next!"
"Very good!" Zhong Yi nodded happily, "Colin Li Qiwei's judgment is exactly the same as mine. I also think that the next action of the Axis Team must be to seize Baghdad."
"So, our next job is to develop a defense plan around Baghdad."
"Then wait for the Axis Team to attack, and then wait until their fuel supply is interrupted to launch a large counterattack, striving to wipe out Rommel's one million troops under the city of Baghdad."
Mike frowned and said in a deep voice: "General Zhong Yi, is this a bit hasty?"
"Listen to General Mike, this is an order." Zhong Yi said, "This is not asking for your opinions, Ou Kai?"
"Okai, you are the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army." Mike shrugged and said helplessly, "Of course you have the final say."
"Okai." Zhong Yi slapped his face and continued, "Then the next issue is now to discuss the defense plan for Baghdad."
...
Meanwhile, the Axis Alliance Command in Egypt.
A debate about whether to go south to Sudan or to Iraq east is also underway.
A group of senior generals of the Italian army firmly advocated going south, first occupying Sudan, controlling Sudan's oil fields, and then occupying Ethiopia and even the entire East Africa.
What Italy is thinking about is to capture the entire Africa.
Controlling Africa has become a dream of the Italian top leaders, including Mussolini.
However, the senior generals of the Turkish army firmly opposed going south to Sudan, believing that the coalition forces should advance eastward to Iraq and occupy and control the oil fields in the entire Middle East.
At this time, the Italian generals and the local generals had already quarreled.
Only Rommel and a group of German generals have not expressed their opinions yet.
Seeing that the senior generals of the two armies became more and more quarrels, and even the tendency to perform all the martial arts, Rommel knew that the time had come, and it was time for him to stand up and make the final decision.
"Shut up." Rommel said lightly.
Rommel's volume was not loud, but it seemed to have some magic. After hearing his voice, the Italian army and the senior generals of the Turkish army closed their mouths at the same time.
After the entire conference room was quiet, Rommel continued: "I remember that General Falkenhausen, the German military advisory department in China, brought back a sentence."
"It is said that it was said by a Chinese guerrilla expert."
"He said that if you lose land and lose people, people and land will be lost. If you lose land, people and land will be lost!"
"I know you don't understand, but you just need to know one thing. Whether it is in the European battlefield, the African battlefield, or the Asian battlefield, the Axis Team should insist on the first priority of eliminating the living forces of the Allied Forces."
"At present, most of the allied forces on the African battlefield gathered near Kuwait in West Asia."
