    "North Africa."

    There was some worry in Lao Luo's eyes.  Now Italy's army is fighting against Italy in North Africa, and he knows this.

    But the gap in military strength is really too big. Geely¡¯s total military strength does not exceed 110,000, only a little over 100,000.

    But Italy has four to five million troops there. Such a huge gap in strength makes Lao Luo worried.

    At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Lao Luo¡¯s office.

    "Mr. Governor, I'm sorry to disturb you. But I think there is something I should tell you immediately!"

    The person who came in was John from the Intelligence Bureau.

    "John, what brought you here?"

    Watching Johnga break into his office, Lao Luo couldn't help but frown, but he soon calmed down.

    As someone who was promoted by himself, Lao Luo trusted him very much and also knew what he was like.

    If it was not an important matter, he would never break into his office at this time.

    "Mr. Governor, I just received news that yesterday, a desert war broke out between Italy and Geely in the east.

    Italy has invested a total of infantry divisions, armored divisions, and motorized divisions, a total of ten divisions, with a strong force of about 180,000 people.

    Geely invested 36,000 troops in this battle. After a major battle between the two sides, the Italian Army stayed in the Matruh area due to logistical supply problems and refused to carry out their domestic military orders and dug trenches here.

    Geely used various methods of defeat and defeated the 180,000 Italian troops after five days of limited attack.  This battle auspiciously captured 130,000 Italian troops, and the Italian troops had no choice but to retreat.

    Geely now has a partial advantage in North Africa!  "

    This information can be described as a bombshell to everyone present.

    ? Patton, Bradley and other Citi famous generals were stunned and speechless.

    An army of 36,000 defeated an army of 180,000?

    Are you saying this is a joke?  Or is it April Fool's Day today?

    This difference in troop strength is nearly six times!

    There was a six-fold strength gap, and Italy's army weapons and equipment were not bad, but under such circumstances, they were actually killed by more than 30,000 Geelies.

    130,000 Italian troops were also captured. Is this joke too big?  [This is indeed the case in history. Xiaolong felt very magical when he saw that piece of information.  The 180,000 troops were stagnant because of logistical supplies.  In the end, they were defeated by an army of 36,000 people.  ¡¿

    After a long time, Lao Luo asked uncertainly: "John, tell me, this is true. The Geely force of 36,000 people defeated the Italian army of 180,000 people?"

    This news is really unbelievable. It is said that when the island country attacked China.

    The defeat of 800,000 Chinese troops by 300,000 Japanese troops is shocking enough, but there is still a huge gap in weapons and equipment.

    But now there is no such gap between the weapons and equipment of the Italian army and Geely. To a certain extent, the Italian army even has some advantages.

    But this failed.

    ?¡­

    Seeing the looks on Lao Luo and others in the office, Johnga knew that they didn't believe it. He said helplessly: "Mr. Governor, generals, today is not April Fool's Day.

    ¡°I¡¯m not a clown in costume either.  I think this news is about to reach the world by now!  "

    After hearing John Jia say this, those present realized that the news was true.

    After Lao Luo reacted, he looked at the other generals in the room with joy and said: "Generals, we were still worried about the war in North Africa just now, but we didn't expect that the war situation has changed a bit. I think now we should consider whether  It¡¯s a matter of lowering the troops.

    In addition, Italy still has a military advantage in North Africa. Maybe we should also assist the North African battlefield and let Italy give the Axis troops a good beating!  "

    Bradley, an honest man, also had a smile on his face.

    "Mr. Governor, I think we at Citi may really need to send troops to North Africa for support. I think those Citi boys who have been recruited can't wait!"

    "Of course! Why not?"

    "Trash! An army of 180,000 was defeated by an army of more than 30,000. It's really impossible to support the wall with mud!"

    When Lao Luo and others were happy, Zhou Weiguo was angry.

    He?Thinking that the Italian army in this time and space is still so vulnerable. To be precise, it is still a noodle army.

    An army of 180,000 was defeated by a force of 36,000. Even the Italian army could fight this kind of battle.

    "Commissioner, I'm afraid our strategy needs to be adjusted. Now that Geely has won an initial victory on the North African battlefield, 130,000 Italian troops have entered Geely's prisoner of war camp. The remaining Italian troops may also have low morale and cannot bear to fight."

    Jiang Baili came over and said in a deep voice.

    The disastrous defeat of the Italian army in the North African battlefield may not have much impact on China, after all, they are so far apart.

    But now China is going to march towards India, and next there is a battle plan in the Middle East.  Once Geely achieved victory in North Africa.

    Citigroup, which has been in a disadvantageous situation in recent times, will definitely support North Africa and even prepare to open a gap from North Africa.

    By then it will have a negative impact on China's attack on the Middle East, which is why Zhou Weiguo cursed people.

    "Adjust strategy?"

    Zhou Weiguo frowned, walked to the huge map and stared at it for a while before sitting down again.

    "The strategy will not be adjusted for the time being. We will not intervene in the war in North Africa for the time being. We will conquer India first and then conquer the region. As for North Africa, we are not the only ones who are anxious. Mustache is even more anxious than us.

    If I were the Governor of Citi, once I gain an advantage in North Africa, the next target of attack will not be China, but the European mustaches.

    If the Allies rely on the Suez Canal, allow the navy to enter the Mediterranean Sea, and launch a landing campaign on the Italian island of Sicily.  What do you think will happen to the mustache?  "

    Zhou Weiguo¡¯s words made Yang Jie next to him flash a light in his eyes.

    ¡°If the Allies really win in the North African battlefield, in order to understand the crisis in the Geely homeland, they will definitely choose to go north to launch a landing battle in Sicily.

    Once the Allied forces successfully landed in Sicily, it would be like inserting a sharp knife into the back of Europe. The Allied forces could use Sicily as a springboard to attack the Italian mainland at any time.

    At that time, Mustache will still face the threat of attacks from both sides, so now that Geely wins in North Africa, the most anxious thing will not be us, but the will!  "

    Yang Jie looked at the map and said. After that, everyone present understood what Zhou Weiguo meant.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
