Chapter 19
The importance of Malta is self-evident. The key point is that no reinforcements were sent, which is very unscientific.
"Admiral Patton explained that Admiral Cunningham of the British Army was worried that this was a conspiracy of the German Army and wanted to raid the Mediterranean Fleet, so he did not send reinforcements."The secretary explained quickly.
Hearing this, Luo Yizhi sighed. He roughly understood that it was not that Patton was unwilling to send reinforcements, but that the other party did not want to send them at all.
In other words, the other party was unwilling to gamble with the Mediterranean Fleet.
After the end of this war, the decline of Britain was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to turn things around, so Admiral Cunningham's approach was to ensure the strength of the Mediterranean Fleet and control the Mediterranean.
"I understand. The German army is also equipped with a new fighter plane? What's the situation?" Luo Yizhi nodded, then frowned slightly and said
"It is like this, the German army is equipped with a batch of new jet fighters, which can reach a speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, climb at a speed of more than three thousand meters per minute, have powerful firepower, at least 40mm machine guns, and are very maneuverable. Our fighters are no match at all."The secretary explained.
After hearing this explanation, Luo Quezi was furious and immediately yelled at the officer in charge of intelligence:"Assholes, the German army is equipped with new aircraft, and your intelligence department has no news at all. What are you doing? Assholes."
The officer in charge of intelligence was confused. He had no idea why he was fired at.
"Mr. President, I have not received any information about the German army being equipped with new fighter planes."
"Didn't receive it? Bastard, this is a report from the front line, go check it for me." Luo Wheelchair yelled angrily.
"yes"
"It seems that we have to let the bear attack again to delay the German army and attract their attention."At the end of the telegram, Patton detailed a plan, which is to concentrate superior forces to kill the German army besieged in Tunisia.
As long as these hundreds of thousands of German troops are completely eliminated, it doesn't matter even if the German army occupies Malta.
However, the German army's attention is now on the southern front, and they must draw the German army's attention to the eastern front.
"Communicate with the Russians and ask them to send troops to continue the counterattack. The supplies promised to them will be delivered immediately."Luo Yizhu pondered for a while and said
"Yes!" Admiral Marshall also nodded in agreement with the plan, because there was no better way at the moment.

Soon, the bearded man received a telegram from America, and after reading it, he looked disdainful.
"Ultimately, it's up to us to save Europe."
""Great leader, shall we continue the attack?" Yumi Xiaofu asked respectfully.
"Of course, now that the German army is losing ground, it is time for us to fight back. Tell Marshal Zhukov on the front to speed up the offensive and fight to get back to the border line 40 years ago."The bearded man said proudly.
"Yes! Your Excellency, Leader. Yumi Xiaofu responded quickly.
………
Eastern Front, Southern Front Army Group, Sixth Army.
At this time, the German army on the Eastern Front had switched from offense to defense, and the troops finally had time to rest.
The Sixth Army, as the trump card of Manstein's group, was the first to be refitted.
"Wow, is this a rifle? It's so light, a bit like a submachine gun." A German second lieutenant fiddled with the weapon and praised it.
The officer in charge of technical guidance shook his head and said,"The one you are holding is an AK-47 assault rifle. This is the magazine. There are 30 rounds of bullets in it. You can fire it after loading it.""
Automatic rifle?" someone asked in confusion.
"Yes, the Empire's latest assault rifle"
""How's the firepower? How's the performance?" Someone couldn't help but ask curiously.
The Major Priss, who was in charge of the instruction, smiled, decisively opened the safety, and pulled the trigger at a place where no one was.
"Da da da da……"
Intensive gunfire followed, flames as big as a bowl burst out from the muzzle, and shells sprayed out like fountains, falling to the ground with a clatter.
A magazine was emptied in less than five seconds, and then another magazine was taken out and loaded, and the firing continued.
Five magazines were emptied in a row, and there was no jamming. The German soldiers watching were stunned.
Compared with the MP40 submachine guns in their hands, this is simply a magical weapon!
"Can it fire in bursts?"Someone asked again. If it's just continuous firing, then it's nothing. It's not much different from a submachine gun.
"Of course." Major Priss loaded another magazine and this time switched to burst fire.
""Da, da, da!"
Although the muzzle of the gun could not help but rise up every time he fired, Major Priss still calmly held down the assault rifle and continued to shoot forward.
Finally, a magazine was emptied, and the big tree in the distance had many more bullet holes. Although they were irregular, overall, the performance of this assault rifle was very superior.
