Because Crete has caused dissatisfaction among the Italians, Rommel dared not rush to declare Libya's independence, after all, there is no need to rush for a moment.

But sometimes it is not important to announce or not, because the German army does this in Egypt and Greece, so the Libyans took it for granted that Germany would support Libya's independence. Many of them even guessed that Germany did not do this because of the Italian army.

These policies of the German army were soon supported by the people, including Egypt, Greece, and even Libyans and other people in other countries.

This kind of support is multifaceted, the most important thing is that the German army easily organized a militia.

In fact, this militia was not organized by the German army...

On Crete is Colonel Dennis, and on Egypt is General Srive.

They obtained a lot of equipment with the support of Germany, and at the same time, these troops armed with patriotism were not short of people, so they only needed to distribute the rifles and quickly grew.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of this army is not satisfactory, especially General Srive's Egyptian army. After the guns were distributed, there were soon armed robbery, internal struggles, etc., as mentioned before... there are always countless tribes in Africa, and the interests of tribes are always greater than the interests of the country, which makes it difficult for them to be organized together to move towards the same goal.

But this was nothing to Rommel, because his purpose was not to let these troops defeat the British... Of course, these troops could not defeat the British. What he wanted was to provoke hatred of the local natives against the British and intensify their conflicts.

Then Rommel received information from General Srive: "A large number of American troops landed in Port Said!"

General Srive even provided detailed troops number: the 10th Air Brigade of the United States, the 1st Armored Division, the 503rd Airborne Regiment, and the 1st Airborne Division transferred from the British mainland.

This was the result of Churchill's efforts. The day after Japan's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, he flew to Washington to discuss with Roosevelt, and reached a consensus with Roosevelt that the African battlefield was better than the Sino-Indian-Myanmar battlefield. So the US military transferred all the 10th Air Brigade of the United States, which was originally located in India to support the Chinese Expeditionary Force to North Africa.

In this way, the British army undoubtedly had overwhelming military strength in North Africa.

Rommel, holding the intelligence, raised his eyebrows and said to the staff officer: "It's interesting. The situation develops completely as the 'Legend Sergeant' said, as if he had seen it!"

The staff officer knew what Rommel said, and the British dispatched a large number of fighter jets and airborne troops to break through the Alexander line, they were used to airborne Algeria.

Without thinking too much, Rommel forwarded the information he received to Hitler.

Hitler was stunned when he saw the telegram. He walked back and forth anxiously in front of the command center, then suddenly waved his fists and cursed: "This is the good thing that the Japanese idiots do. Look at them, what did they do at this critical moment?"

No wonder Hitler was so angry. Hitler actually hoped that Japan would not attack China in an all-round way and attack the Soviet Union with the German army. However, Japan was beaten by the Soviet Union in the battle of Nomenkan and did not do so.

It's fine, but Japan is going to get involved with the United States at this time... Hitler came from World War I. He always thought that one of the reasons why Germany failed in World War I was the United States participating in the war.

So what Hitler hopes most is that the United States has been watching from the side. Even if it secretly helps the Allies, it can be tolerated, but Japan disrupted Hitler's overall plan.

From this perspective, the Japanese do think of it as later generations... are tactical giants but strategic dwarfs.

Of course, Japan also had its last resort.

For example, the United States imposed a ban on fuel sales on Japan, while Japan's fuel reserves only have half a year.

But the problem is that Japan's opponent is China. At this time, China doesn't even have a few tanks, let alone fuel, and Japan has the conditions to take into account the overall situation of the Axis powers and let the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor be slowed down... Japan only thinks about it, but it just hopes to occupy the entire territory of China as soon as possible and get out of this quagmire.

Of course, no matter how angry he was, Hitler still had no choice but to this reality. After thinking about it, he sent a telegram to Rommel: "No matter what method is used, you must defend the Alexander line!"

"Dear Head!" Rommel replied: "I wonder if you have noticed that the target of the British assembled airborne troops is likely to be Algeria?"

Hitler was stunned when he heard this, and when he turned his eyes to Algeria, he opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it... The French were very clear about Hitler's disobedience, so the Allies could almost take Algeria without any effort, so the African legion would soon collapse.

"How do I need to support you, General!" Hitler asked helplessly, because he knew that under this situation, even if the African legion led by Rommel had three heads and six arms, it would not be possible to avoid the final failure.

"It's obvious!" Rommel said: "We must take the lead in keeping Algeria in our hands, Master Head!"

Hitler agreed: "I will arrange it!"

So Hitler hurriedly transferred the two Infantry Regiments stationed in France: the 36th Infantry Regiment and the 155th Infantry Regiment to Africa to prepare for the occupation of Algeria. He even sent the 200th Infantry Regiment in Italy to Tripoli first and then staged a drama of occupying Tunisia.

This scene was performed by a German fighter jet... This German fighter jet made an emergency landing at Tunisia airport on the pretext of a failure, and then a German battalion of troops entered Tunisia on the pretext of protecting the confidentiality of the fighter jet. Then more and more German troops rushed into Tunisia like a tide and disarmed the French colonial army.

The French Vichy government protested Hitler as soon as possible.

Hitler answered Betan: "Dear President, we have reason to believe that the British will land or airborne in Algeria. Since Algeria is related to the life and death of the African Legion, we hope to enter Algeria to defend with the French army!"

Betan couldn't help but foolishly, he immediately refused: "Dear Head, we have the ability to defend our territory, not only that... The German army entered Tunisia and disarmed the French army was a violation of the armistice treaty we signed, and I believe the Head would properly handle this!"

Hitler ignored Betan's words at all, who would take a puppet government seriously?
