Without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, Alexander continued: "There were more than 200,000 troops allied at once, which means that the total strength of the Allied forces in the North African theater of War has returned to more than 600,000 again.

However, the total strength of the Rommel African Legion against it is still as high as more than 1.2 million, nearly twice that of its own troops.

The Mediterranean fleet of the British Empire has suffered heavy damage. In a short period of time, it is impossible to compete with the Italian Navy. After receiving great supplies, Rommel's army will definitely launch a powerful attack on us.

I really want to know that in this case, can we still withstand such a huge gap in military strength even with extreme defense?"

"Yes! If our collapsed and the Suez Canal is lost, what's the point if we save the Caucasus?"

"You must be cautious in this matter, and you cannot ignore one thing!"

Alexander's words attracted everyone's nodding and they all had the same concerns.

As we all know, after the outbreak of World War II, under the crazy blitz attack of the German army, the Soviet Union suddenly became defeated and lost its vast territory, and even almost couldn't catch it and was directly destroyed.

Under this situation, in order to allow the Soviet Union to survive and continue to resist the German invasion, the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union worked together to subvert Iran's pro-German regime and cultivated a pro-British puppet regime.

This opened up the Persian Gulf supply line from West Asia to Central Asia and then to the heart of the Soviet Union. It was precisely through the continuous blood transfusion of this supply line and the North Atlantic route that the Soviet Union was able to persist until now.

But now, for the Soviet Union, not only the oil fields of the Transcaucasus will face direct military threats from the German-Turkish coalition forces, but the Persian Gulf supply line is also facing a fatal threat and is about to be cut off.

Although Yang Fan could use the North Atlantic supply line to transfusion blood for the Soviet Union, the best supply line in southern regions such as Stalingrad is the Persian Gulf supply line.

Because the fastest nearby supply is available here, there is no need to carry German bombers for long transportation through long transportation.

If the Persian Gulf supply line is not available, it would be like a major artery was cut off, and it would be really hard for the Soviet Union to survive in this severe winter.

Therefore, the strategic location of the Caucasus Mountains is very important and must not be missed.

Otherwise, it will not only make the swaying Türkiye determined to join the Axis Alliance, but it will also cut off the Allies in the North African War Theater, resulting in a series of catastrophic chain reactions.

Therefore, Yang Fan made up his mind early on to distribute a heavy army to support him to ensure the safety of the Caucasus region.

However, as soon as this idea was thrown out, it was contradicted and questioned by everyone.

"Everyone's concerns are reasonable, but what I want to say is that although our current defense zone is flat on a plain, there are still natural dangers to take advantage of."

Faced with everyone's doubts, Yang Fan did not panic at all, stood up and walked to the map and said with a smile:

"First of all, the Nile River, this long river can completely block the German armored cluster for us and defend our southwest defense line."

"Secondly, the Allies only need to dig an artificial river in the southern part of Cairo, or a trench of sufficient specifications, and it can also ensure that the German armored clusters are blocked outside the city."

"In this way, the battle between the Allies and the Germans on the North African battlefield will evolve into a decisive victory in the air, and the Air Force is the only service that has a great advantage over the Axis Army or the Germans."

"As long as the Allied air force can firmly control the air supremacy in the Asian battlefield in North Africa, the Germans will never be able to build a pontoon bridge on the Nile River, and they will not be able to open a breakthrough from our front line of defense."

"In turn, the Allies can continue to launch air strikes on the supply lines behind the Germans through the air force.

We can even send airborne troops and special forces to launch continuous raid operations against the German rear bases and supply stations."

"We have discussed before that what we need to do now is to defeat the Italian Navy with the navy, gain control of the Mediterranean, and build the Malta Island Air Force Base simultaneously, and then take a two-pronged approach to completely cut off the supply line of the Axis Army."

"Rommeel African Legion is a huge strategic cluster with a force of up to millions of people. The amount of materials they consume every day is an astronomical number that is difficult to estimate."

"Once the supply of materials is not enough, their collapse will inevitably occur. So now we only need to defend the defense line under the cooperation of the Air Force, and we can wait for the opponent's supply line to be cut off, resulting in a collapse."

"Once the German army collapses because of insufficient supply, it will reach the best fighter for the Allied counterattack. At that time, the only thing the Allied forces have to do is to pursue, chase, and chase until the Axis forces are completely eliminated in Africa."

"At that time, our goal will no longer be to defend Egypt and control the Suez Canal and control the Mediterranean, but to open up a second battlefield, land on the European land, and completely defeat the German and Italian Axis troops!"

"It's light, it's not that easy."

After listening to Yang Fan's grand plan, Ted, the commander of the Mediterranean War Zone Air Force, shook his head disdainfully and snorted: "Although the Allied Air Force has a certain advantage, it is far from exaggerated as you said."

"Especially, the Rommel Legion has added a large number of fighter jets recently. Now the number of fighter jets in the Rommel Legion has reached more than 1,300. In addition to bombers and Italian Air Force, the Axis combat aircraft on the North African battlefield has reached 1,800."

"Although the number of Allied aircraft is now as high as more than 2,200, exceeding the number of combat aircraft of Rommel's Legion, its performance is lagging behind the German army, and there is no way to compare with the pilot's qualities.

So overall, the Allied Air Force did not have much advantage and did not reach the point where it could control the air supremacy of the entire North African battlefield.

It is even very likely that in the next battle, the Allied Air Force will be at a disadvantage, and we have no choice…”

"No, General Ted, you are wrong."

Before Ted finished his performance, Yang Fan interrupted without hesitation.

After everyone's eyes and attention were focused on themselves, Yang Fan smiled and said, "General Ted, one time and another, what you said was the past, and the situation is different now."

"Different? Are you talking about your Chinese Air Force coming?"

Ted raised his brow, then shook his head and said, "It's indeed a little different. Our opponents are getting stronger, but we are getting weaker."

"General Ted, please don't bring us two words!"

Being despised in public like Ted, Wang Liguo, the commander of the Tiger Ben Army Air Force, couldn't sit still and shouted loudly: "It's your British Air Force that has become weaker, and our Chinese Air Force is becoming stronger at an unprecedented speed!"
