"General!" Qin Chuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and replied: "The British will not give up so much!"

"Yes!" Rommel nodded, but he replied optimistically: "But we have a bazooka, don't we? There are also legendary sergeants!"

The officers couldn't help but agree.

"Yes!" said Colonel Slein: "If we can equip the bazooka in large quantities, we can lie in ambush the bazooka in any place, and we can even equip the Egyptian guerrillas with it!"

"It's simply a work of art!" Major Kleman said to Qin Chuan: "Lieutenant, I really can't believe that you are the inventor of it. I thought these are all things that scientists do!"

...

The officers may be right that individual anti-tank weapons can indeed play a great role in this period, especially in street fighting.

But at the same time, it also has its own weaknesses, especially the German army is not the only army that has equipped or developed such weapons... The US military also has the technology of bazooka. In history, Bazooka will appear in North Africa in a few months, and this is because the US military has always been unfavorable about Bazooka.

Now that the German army has put it on the battlefield, will the US military speed up the equipment process of Bazouka?

After dinner, Rommel called Colonel Slein and Qin Chuan to his command center.

Rommel asked Qin Chuan straightforwardly: "Second Lieutenant, what do you seem to be worried about?"

"Yes, general!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, the British's equipment has surpassed our army in all respects, especially after they have the new tank!"

Rommel nodded: "It's not a problem with the supply line now, but most of the German tanks are concentrated on the Eastern Front. There are no more and more advanced tanks in Berlin to support us!"

Qin Chuan knew this, which was something he didn't expect.

The point is that the British army should not have equipped the "Sheerman" so early, and some things in history seem to have been disrupted by themselves.

For example: When the British army launched the Battle of Alaman and entered a counterattack, the German army had already retreated on the Eastern Front battlefield, so Hitler transferred some of its troops and supplies to the North African battlefield where there was hope of victory... This included the transfer of the air wings stationed in Sicily, several German infantry divisions and even a paratrooper division. In terms of tanks, in addition to the "No. 4", there was also the "Tiger Style".

Therefore, during the Battle of Alamein, the German army's equipment and troops were not as unbearable as it is now.

However, because Qin Chuan played a series of roles in this, making the North African battlefield at least appear to develop in a direction that is beneficial to the German army, Hitler believed that there was no need to send many reinforcements and materials to North Africa.

The most important thing is that the time is wrong... At this time, the German army launched a fierce attack on the Soviet Union, so of course there would not be any extra troops and equipment to reinforce Africa.

Therefore, the African Legion is likely to continue to face such a dilemma... With the total number of three armored divisions, only 200 tanks face the British steel torrent, especially the tanks equipped by the German army were mostly "No. 3" tanks that could not be matched with "Sheerman".

Therefore, sometimes Qin Chuan didn't know whether he helped the German army or harmed the German army. All his efforts were likely to accelerate the destruction of the African Legion.

"The situation is indeed unfavorable to us!" said Rommel. "But I believe we will definitely overcome this difficulty!"

"I have an idea, General!" Qin Chuan said.

"I'm listening!" Rommel said with a smile: "Lieutenant, every thought of you is worth discussing!"

"I think we should prepare for the retreat!" Qin Chuan said.

"What?" Hearing this, Rommel couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in confusion: "I heard it right, Lieutenant, are you admitting defeat?"

"No, I'm not saying admitting defeat!" Qin Chuan said: "But it will not be beneficial to us if we continue to fight like this!"

"Tell me then, Lieutenant!" said Rommel. "What do you mean? Have you considered the consequences of retreat?"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "But we are now seriously short of troops and cannot fight head-on with the British, and we have fatal weaknesses!"

"Fatal weakness?" Rommel asked: "What weakness are you talking about? Alexander's line of defense? Tanks?"

"No, it's much more serious than this!" Qin Chuan pointed to the map and said, "Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, our big rear!"

"Do you think the British will land there?" Rommel smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are French troops guarding there!"

Qin Chuan shook his head.

The Germans now believe that the French would stand on the side with the German army to deal with the Allies. On the one hand, because France had surrendered, the Weixi government was a puppet of Germany. On the other hand, when France surrendered, Churchill ordered the implementation of the "Boxgate Plan" to take the lead in launching an attack on the French fleet and causing heavy casualties in the French navy.

This made France indignant, and the whole country was in a treason for Britain. In this environment, Rommel believed that the places where French troops were stationed would not be so easily taken down by the British.

But this is not the case. France and Germany have always had disagreements. When the British and American coalition forces airborne and landed on Algeria, the two sides actually only fought a few small-scale battles, and then the French army stood on the side of the Allies and became the enemy of Germany.

This is also one of the reasons why the German army was defeated and even surrounded and annihilated across Africa.

"General!" said Colonel Slain, "I agree with the lieutenant's point of view, we cannot trust the French!"

"Even so!" Rommel smiled and said, "Do you think the British have the ability to launch a large-scale airborne or landing war in Algeria? No, the UK is under a blockade of German submarines!"

What Rommel said is indeed that if it was just Britain, it would be impossible, but if the United States was added...

"They have Americans to help!" Qin Chuan said.

"But the United States will not participate in the war!" Rommel said: "At least there is no evidence that the United States dares to publicly help the British launch a landing war!"

"General!" At this time, a staff officer handed Rommel a telegram.

Rommel looked at the telegram and his face turned pale.

"What happened, General?" Slain asked.

"You are right, Lieutenant!" Rommel handed the telegram to Qin Chuan and said, "The United States will indeed participate in the war!"

Qin Chuan received the telegram and saw... Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
