"General Yang Fan, what you mean is that you do not intend to execute the counterattack orders from the Allied Headquarters, but instead want to retreat to defend?"

Hearing this, Cunningham was excited again and said in a cold voice: "How can I remember that just a few minutes ago, you were still emphasizing that the best defense is offense, and we, the British Empire Navy, lost the spirit of active offensiveness.

Why is it like this when you are here now? I really want to hear your explanation!"

"General Cunningham, don't worry, I will give you a very perfect explanation."

Yang Fan smiled and said without panic: "If you just follow the orders of the Allied Headquarters and fight a beautiful counterattack, this order will be very simple to execute.

And I am also very confident and sure to achieve a victory that satisfies the Allied Headquarters!

However, as General Patton said just now, launching a counterattack directly from the front and fighting against the German and Italian coalition forces is the stupidest choice. Doing so can only kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred of them."

"It is important to eliminate the enemy and achieve victory, but the lives of every warrior are equally important. They are not chess pieces on the sand table, not war consumables, but living lives!"

"So, in my dictionary, defeating the enemy and winning is never the ultimate goal. My ultimate goal is to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost. It is by no means dyeing the merit book with the blood of thousands of soldiers!"

"The chief said it well. Our Hu Ben Army has always been invincible in every battle, but we always use our brains to fight, and we will never do stupid things and never do business at a loss."

"Yes, this is the foundation of our Hu Ben Army."

"Sun Tzu's Art of War says: The best soldiers attack the plan, the second is the second is the enemy. The next is the enemy. In terms of war strategy, we Chinese talents are the ancestors in this field!"

When they heard the wonderful things, Meng Wuan, Sun Liren and others applauded and agreed. It was time to support their chief executives.

"Hmph, what you say is better than what you sing."

Cunningham will definitely not buy it easily. He has a deep resentment, so he will naturally not give up this opportunity to fight back.

After a pause, Cunningham asked extremely harshly: "General Yang Fan, what is the use of just saying good things? I just want to ask if you have any practical counterattack plan.

If your answer is just to stick to defense, please take back your previous slander against me and the British Empire, and apologize in public and admit that you and your Chinese army are actually a group of timid cowards."

"General Cunningham!"

Stilwell frowned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that this guy would be so stubborn and so indifferent. It was really annoying.

Lu Shengfeng, Meng Wu'an, Sun Liren, Wang Liguo, Liu Qiang and other generals of the Hu Ben Army all glared at this extremely annoying ghost guy. If the other party hadn't had a simple identity and the wrong occasion, they would have long since spoiled him.

"Okay, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Yang Fan waved his hand, glanced around and said loudly: "Shoot the horse first, hit the snake first. Only by finding the key points of the enemy can you remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot and achieve the ideal effect of a four-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-two-

Then I would like to ask General Cunningham, where is the key to Rommel's African Legion?"

Cunningham snorted disdainfully: "Is that needless to say, the biggest shortcoming and key of the Axis military lies in the logistics supply line."

"Well said, there should be applause here."

Yang Fan smiled and patted Baba, then asked, "General Cunningham, how can we completely cut off the supply line of Rommel's African Legion?"

"Do you think I'm a primary school student?"

Cunningham glared at Yang Fan. This question-and-answer method made him very upset, but he finally answered: "There are only two Axis military supply lines on the battlefield in North Africa, one is a sea route and the other is an air route.

Their most important supply line at present is undoubtedly the sea route. If you want to cut off the sea route, you will naturally have to gain control of the Mediterranean."

"very good!"

Yang Fan nodded with a smile: "So, my plan is to gain control of the Mediterranean, cut off the supply line of Rommel's African Legion, and turn their planes, tanks and armored vehicles into a bunch of useless decorations!"

Speaking of this, Yang Fan stood up, walked to the military map in the conference room, picked up a wooden stick and gestured on the map: "To achieve this goal, we must do a two-pronged approach..."

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. In this combat plan that has been formulated long ago, Yang Fan decided to take three steps: the first step was to attack the port of Taranto, seriously inflict heavily on the Italian Navy, and initially gain sea control in the Mediterranean.

At the same time, Yang Fan will also send a strong enough engineering corps and garrison troops to go to the British base on Malta Island to build an air base, and build a powerful defense system that can attack and retreat and defend.

The strategic location of Malta Island is very important, and it just stuck the shipping line from Italy to Libya and must be firmly controlled in your own hands.

The second step is that after the construction of the air force base is completed, Yang Fan will send a strong enough air force to land on Malta Island and completely block the sea and shipping lines of Rommel's African Legion.

The third step is naturally to start a full-scale counterattack and defeat Rommel's African Legion.

Of course, during this period, Rommel's North African Legion would definitely not be idle and wait for himself to jamm his throat step by step.

The Italian Navy is currently booming. Without the threat of the British Navy, they will definitely greatly improve their shipping capabilities.

After receiving a large amount of supplies and no worries for the time being, Rommel will definitely launch a hard attack on the Alaman defense line, trying to break through from a frontal breakthrough to open the situation.

But it doesn't matter. The Chinese Tiger Army is the best at defensive counterattack. Yang Fan has enough confidence and strength to withstand the attack, and Rommel will not lose any loss of money.

"I have a very interesting information here that I want to share with you."

After the plan pallet was released and the unified opinion was reached initially, Yang Fan pointed to the map with a wooden stick and said:

“It is well known that there are only two routes to enter the Mediterranean from the waterway, either from the Strait of Gibraltar or from the Red Sea and then through the Suez Canal.

Now the Suez Canal and the Strait of Gibraltar are under the control of the Allied Forces, but it is strange that even in this way, German submarines can still enter and exit freely between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, causing great damage and threat to the Allied Forces.

So have you ever known how German submarines do all this? Do you want to know what's going on?"
