In fact, these things were done by the British and French in history... They promised these colonies that they would give them independence and freedom after defeating Germany. For example, France controlled the Algerian colonial army, that is, the Zoaf Corps, to fight against the German army.

However, the French shamelessly broke their promise after the war. Not only did they not allow Algeria to be independent, but instead, in order to restore the French economy and its status as a major power, they also exploited the Algerians in Bengali, which led to the eight-year war of independence.

These contradictions have always existed. There is a relationship between oppression and oppression between colonists and colonists, so of course there will be resistance from colonists, and even the relationship between Italy and Libya is also like this.

Germany's advantage is that it is neither a colonist nor a colonist. It only participated in the war as an Italian ally. It can even be said that the German army has a very good reputation here... As mentioned before, the Germans encouraged agricultural production, maintained public order, helped irrigation, etc.

This allowed the German army to accumulate a certain degree of credit on this land in North Africa. On the contrary, the British and French have been oppressing and exploiting Africans on this land, leaving a very bad impression on the Africans.

Of course, Italy is also infamous in Libya... no colonist would be popular with the locals.

Germany in history could have made good use of this, but most of the Germans did not know how to play politics. They thought more about conquest and war, just as they were more accustomed to working hard without doing business and making money.

Rommel accepted Qin Chuan's suggestion in full, so the preparations were soon launched.

Egypt is the first to bear the brunt.

Egypt is the easiest to deal with because it was originally a British colony. The Egyptian people had long been dissatisfied with the British rule and oppression, but because of the invasion of Germany and Italy, these contradictions were temporarily put aside.

Rommel immediately found General Srief, the commander of the Egyptian guerrillas who had always been in contact with the German army, and expressed his support for Egyptian independence, provided equipment for the Egyptian guerrillas and returned Egyptian territory to the guerrillas in a step-by-step manner... Before this, although Germany also provided equipment for the Egyptian guerrillas, they were all wary because Germany also wanted to occupy and rule Egypt, so he did not want Egypt to become a big shot.

But now...

Anyway, Germany is going to retreat, and the stronger the Egyptian guerrillas, the better, because this means that the British will have more trouble.

This was a big pie that fell from the world for General Srive. Of course, he would not refuse, so he accepted Rommel's proposal without any hesitation.

It is not difficult in Greece, to be precise, the scope is only limited to Crete.

Because Colonel Dennis had contact with Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan was in charge of negotiations on Crete.

"What are you doing?" Colonel Dennis said to Qin Chuan with some dissatisfaction: "Did you forget that our relationship cannot be exposed? They will doubt what I have to do with the Germans!"

"Then let them doubt it!" Qin Chuan said.

Colonel Dennis was stunned and then smiled and said, "Lieutenant, is this your method? Threatening me with this secret?"

"No, colonel!" Qin Chuan said: "As I said before, Germany and Greece are not enemies, and we intend to return Crete to the Greeks."

"What?" Colonel Dennis couldn't believe what he heard.

"You heard it right!" Qin Chuan said: "Of course it's gradual, and it's temporarily limited to Crete, and there are even factories on Crete. Why? Are you not interested? Then maybe I can consider talking to the government army!"

"No, second lieutenant!" Colonel Dennis hurriedly stood up and tried to stay: "Of course we are interested, but... what are the benefits of this for Germany?"

"Colin!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, we fought against the Soviets on the Eastern Front and the British in Africa, so we would not be interested in Greece. If it weren't for the sake of defeating the British, we wouldn't even occupy Crete!"

Colonel Dennis stared at Qin Chuan in a daze, and after a while, he said, "Okay, I used to think this was a lie to deceive us, but now..."

"Now do you believe this is true?"

"No, until the moment you return Crete to us!" said Colonel Dennis, "I hope you keep your promise!"

"Of course!" Qin Chuan replied: "If necessary... you can go to Alexander to talk to General Rommel!"

"No!" Colonel Dennis thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter who you talk to, what matters is what you will do next!"

"We hope you can be independent and build a country that truly belongs to your own!" Qin Chuan said: "This is what you hope for, right?"

Colonel Dennis nodded slowly, but he still couldn't believe it.

But he couldn't help but believe what happened next, because soon after the German army released a group of prisoners from the National Liberation Front. Of course, the prisoners of the Greek government were still kept in custody.

At the same time, the German army also handed over some of the machines to Colonel Dennis, and even enclosed several larger villages for the National Liberation Front as bases.

This caused a sensation in the entire Crete. Coupled with the propaganda of the National Liberation Front, Crete and even Greek people received a message: "The Germans are different from the Italians, and they have no intention of being enemies with Greece!"

The most difficult one is Libya, the Italian colony, because they are Italian "properties" and the Germans have no right to decide.

Moreover, the German army's actions on Crete were soon transmitted from the Italians to Mussolini, and from Mussolini to Hitler.

So Hitler sent a telegram to Rommel and asked: "My general, I am glad that you once again defeated the British attack in North Africa, and I believe you will handle all matters in Africa. However, the Italians were a little dissatisfied with your approach on Crete. They thought you were helping their enemies. Can you explain it?"

Rommel had already thought of a remark: "Dear Head, we have reached a certain agreement with the Greeks and Egyptians, and they are likely to stand on our side and resist the British, so I do not think they are enemies!"

Hitler looked at Rommel's telegram and nodded repeatedly.
Chapter completed!
