When Montgomery arrived on the North African battlefield on the special plane arranged for him by Dowding, he felt a completely different atmosphere from the London front.

There is no oppressive atmosphere at all, on the contrary, the morale of the British troops here is unusually high.

They first defeated the Italian attack, and then they all pressed the French Belante and the Italian coalition forces to the defensive line, and even after German reinforcements were added, they were able to repel the attack of the German Rommel.

Italy used five times the force to sneak attack, but in the end it was pushed back, not only did not gain an inch of land, but lost many of its own colonies.

The famous French general Béronte rose to fame and was hailed by the French as the "modern Napoleon", but it turned out that he was not unable to defeat General Wavell.

And the Germans, they were unhindered all over the world and did not taste a single defeat. Only in North Africa, at the hands of General Wavell, but suffered defeat!

In the eyes of the Commonwealth armies in North Africa, there is no other army that can defeat them.

When Montgomery had just gotten off the plane and met an operations staff officer of General Wavell's command, the staff officer asked Montgomery in surprise: "Why is the home army so useless?" Even if you can't defeat the German army, you can't even resist the German army! ”

Montgomery was really surprised at the time, having personally witnessed the combat quality and strong combat effectiveness of the German army at Dunkirk, he could not imagine why the British army in North Africa was so confident.

Just because they organized a tentative German offensive?

On the plane to North Africa, Montgomery also put a lot of effort into studying the previous North African war reports in detail.

He found that the German offensive stopped by the British in North Africa was basically a defensive war with no technical content.

Although this was a battle personally commanded by Rommel, commander of the German-Italian African Army, the scale of the German sorties met the standard of a tentative offensive at best.

When did repelling a tentative attack of the enemy become the proud capital of the British Empire's soldiers?

Not only that, but Montgomery felt that the famous German player named Rommel could not help but applaud him for the many qualities he showed in this tentative attack.

Especially in the strong attack launched by using the sandstorm, Rommel simply used the little force he had at hand to maximize his effectiveness!

Montgomery was a little afraid, when such a terrible opponent had the same strength as his own, could Wavell's soldiers still be as confident as they are now?

You must know that in Africa, the total strength of the German, French and Italian coalition forces is much superior to that of the Commonwealth forces in Africa.

And last time, the Germans were able to launch such a beautiful Plutok attack with less than half an armored division. When Rommel brings the entire German Afrika Army, what level will it play?!

Apprehensive, Montgomery followed his staff officer into Wavell's headquarters.

As soon as he entered, he saw an even more incredible scene.

"This is an opportunity! We should take advantage of Rommel's offensive to face them face to face and crush the main German forces in Africa in one fell swoop! ”

A young general with the rank of major general was shouting loudly with great momentum.

Montgomery easily deduced the reason from the other party's age that was not commensurate with his rank.

To be promoted to a general at a young age, he must have experienced a lot of military exploits. In the battle with the armies of Italy, France and Germany some time ago, this major general must have come out on top.

Having already tasted the sweetness, of course he will continue to clamor for war.

Montgomery was not in a hurry to participate in the discussion of the operational meeting in Wavell's headquarters, he only first asked a colonel staff officer who was sitting next to him to get a general idea of the situation.

From this staff officer, Montgomery learned that just after the arrival of the seven French divisions sent by the Allies to Africa, Rommel, who had sought the approval of Reinhardt, launched another battle against Brutok.

The attitude of the other side was very resolute, and Rommel obviously wanted to regain the Führer's trust in him with a successful campaign.

Montgomery was almost certain that the German commander Rommel had attacked Blutok this time with the attitude that he had to win!

Moreover, Montgomery learned that the intelligence in Wavell's hands also showed that the famous French general Wavell and Garibaldi, the commander-in-chief of the Italian African Army, were also under the instructions of their own governments to fully participate in the joint operations organized by Rommel, and sent most of the troops at hand to form an alliance with the German army.

The strength of this Allied campaign alliance has exceeded the total number of Commonwealth armies in Africa!

Montgomery was already getting more and more frightened, but on the other side, the generals under Wavell were a completely different scene.

"We only recently figured out that Rommel received only 2 armored battalions of reinforcements after his last defeat. Those tanks, which look like two regiments, are nothing more than models made of wood and cardboard! ”

Another middle-aged general, who was a little older, but also a dignified lieutenant general, swore aloud and analyzed:

"Rommel will pretend to get more reinforcements, which means that he is afraid of us. If he hadn't received French reinforcements from 7 divisions this time, he wouldn't have dared to launch a new offensive! ”

The lieutenant general's analysis almost killed Montgomery.

Rommel, the general who dared to storm the fortress of Brutok with a reinforced armored regiment, was actually said to be a cowardly commander as cowardly!

As long as you have a little brain, you can figure it out, where did Rommel, who is already quite famous, be timid?

Isn't it also normal for others to feign a huge number of reinforcements and no longer be normal battlefield confusion measures?

However, it was not until Rommel relaunched the offensive that he figured out that he had been deceived, which seemed even more embarrassing!

"London needs us, and we can only support the war on our home soil if we completely defeat the Allied forces in Africa. What the native army can't do, let's do it! ”

"Each of the armies in this coalition on the other side has been defeated by us individually. A bunch of losers unite and it's not worth worrying about! ”

"Annihilate the Allied Triple Coalition in Africa and witness General Wavell's promotion to marshal!"

…… It seems that every general under Wavell was carried away by the previous victory, and only fanatical confidence was left in his eyes.

"To go into a risky war just for fame is the stupidest thing to do!"

In the midst of the clamour, Montgomery finally could no longer hold back and spoke out against it very unsocially.
