When Lin Youde called the troops who came to receive the prisoners arrived, the leading officer stared at the British general's swollen pig-headed face with wide eyes.

"What's going on, sir?" The officer leading the team asked with a look of surprise on his face.

Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders: "I had a friendly exchange with Mr. Commander, don't care, the puffiness on his face is just a sign that he is willing to gamble and lose." ”

"Yes," said the Englishman smugly, "my men haven't eaten well these days, and they're tired, that's why you'll win!" Don't think you really won us. ”

Lin Youde shrugged his shoulders again, and at the same time secretly said in his heart that if this product is a cute girl, then it is very cute to refuse to admit defeat like this, forget it, the big man is very disgusting when he is arrogant.

Lin Youde no longer looked at the British, who were still unconvinced, and continued to say to the officers who led the team: "You escort these prisoners back, pay attention to treat them well, and don't lose our army's fine tradition of treating prisoners well." ”

"Yes, sir."

At this time, Lin Youde heard a soldier chewing his tongue in a whisper: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Excellency the Commander and the British are engaged in hand-to-hand duels, but I didn't even react, so he took down the boxing champion chosen by the British general, the big man, and he hasn't woken up yet. That's the one lying there, yes, yes. Knowledge, this is 'kung fu'. ”

"I heard that the Chinese army all knows this kind of thing called kung fu, no wonder they can fight back and forth with the Americans."

Lin Youde unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth. It is estimated that the first person to ask was a soldier who had come from reinforcements, and he happened to meet someone he knew in the anti-aircraft artillery company or Lin Youde's guard squad.

At this time, the lieutenant who followed Lin Youde gave the order to get into the car and prepare to continue moving, so the sound of chewing the root of his tongue stopped abruptly. Lin Youde sat in the car with a happy face, and at this time, the officer who came to reinforce asked, "Don't you need to increase the number of your guards?" ”

Lin Youde pointed to Oh Sauce, who was holding the machine gun in the back seat and looked like he wanted to pull the trigger.

"But, Miss Shinki didn't carry a large armament, did she? Once you encounter a squad-level battle queen's attack, it's still a little dangerous, right? ”

Of course, the god queen is not afraid of the battle queen squad with the magic guide armor - the brigade level may indeed have to be considered. But apparently the officer meant that it was impossible for Oh-chan to protect Lin Youde while fighting with Zhanji.

Lin Youde waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant Colonel, our army is now in a state of strength, and if the British army still has a fighting army, they must all be sent to the Canal Zone by now."

Although the shipping route in the Mediterranean is still controlled by the Alliance of Human Innovation, so Britain itself cannot profit from the Suez Canal, the British must know very well that if Suez is lost, it will be difficult to get it back in the current situation.

Without the Suez barrier, the British could not hold Cairo, and Alamein was too far away from Cairo for another British force in Egypt to be mobilized immediately - and even if they did, they would be far inferior to Lin Youde.

Egypt could not support many soldiers with its own output, and the supply could only rely on transportation, and the bulk of the transportation was occupied by the "food" of the navy's "gluttonous" giant ships, and the quota allocated to the unloved army was really not much, and it could not supply too many troops.

Now that Lin Youde has defeated the enemy's main force, the remaining British troops are far inferior to the German African Army in Lin Youde's hands in terms of strength and equipment.

In addition, in this place of Egypt, there are too few positions that can be defended, not because there is no dangerous terrain, but because the location of the dangerous terrain is not good, and it cannot be used for defense.

In short, Lin Youde decided that his inspection trip only needed Oh-chan's escort was enough.

After declining the lieutenant colonel's kindness, Lin Youde went on the road again, and after a few steps, the signal soldier in the same car reported loudly: "The headquarters conveyed the report of General Scholes, our paratroopers have occupied Ismailia and are fighting fiercely with enemy reinforcements who arrived one step later, and the headquarters has ordered the troops who forcibly crossed the Suez Canal near the Great Bitter Lake to go north for reinforcements, do you have anything to modify this order?" ”

"No problem."

"Also, the command conveyed a telegram from the naval submarine that the British naval fleet was leaving Alexandria and sailing eastward."

Lin Youde couldn't help but smack his lips.

"This is to use warships to force their way into the Suez Canal as a battery to stop us from attacking."

The decision of the British to force their way into the Suez Canal was actually a very risky affair, because the width of the artificial nullah part of the canal was very small, and the fleet had little room to maneuver, and could only rely on armor to resist land artillery attacks. Lin Youde estimated that the British were sure that the German heavy artillery had not kept up yet, and they wanted to send in a few heavy cruisers as a firepower platform.

A few heavy cruisers are dozens of 8-inch (203 mm) heavy guns, plus a bunch of 5-inch and 6-inch secondary guns, which are worthy of a group army-level firepower cluster.

After Lin Youde was silent for a few seconds, he said to the signal soldier, "Tell the headquarters, let the Shenji be ready to take off at any time, there is very likely to be Shenji on the enemy warship, and they are going to come hard." ”

Battleships are more precious, and it is estimated that they may not necessarily enter the canal to fight hard, and it is likely that they will be used as a base for Shenji and Battleji at the mouth of the river to cover the intruding cruiser fleet. It is certain that there will be a Kamiki battle after that.

After saying that, Lin Youde looked at Oh-chan again, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, if only Oh-chan didn't hate fighting with the magic armor so much, but until now, Oh-chan only fought with the magic armor when "you can't protect the people you want to protect without the magic armor". Other magic equipment is also only necessary, and you can't use it if you can. I really don't know why she hates magic equipment so much.

However, Lin Youde immediately had a new idea.

――As long as I, Ta Lin Youde, is on the front line and in a dangerous state, and there happens to be a god with magic armor nearby, then won't Oh-chan go to the armor to fight?

But not long after this idea was generated, Lin Youde himself gave up.

First, Lin Youde really didn't want to put himself in too dangerous a situation, that kind of "stimulation" he had already experienced when he was assassinated before, and he had experienced it repeatedly, and he didn't want to experience it again if he could. He's not afraid of danger, he just doesn't want to take unnecessary risks.

If the battle situation reached the point where he could not win without this move, Lin Youde would of course not hesitate to put himself in danger, but now it is the British who will lose everything, not him Lin Youde.

Then, Lin Youde began to think about how to deal with the British warship assault.

Lin Youde vaguely remembered that he was still half of the military blind before he traveled, and he once read a famous World War II German book at that time, in which the protagonist used train guns to deal with the British fleet. At the time, I thought it was particularly burning, but after I had enough knowledge, I found that it was really nonsense to use train guns against battleships, not to mention anything else, each of the main guns of other battleships is larger than your train guns, and the range may be inferior because of the length of the barrel, but other battleships can move, train guns can't, and the train guns suffer a loss.

The navy looks so huge in front of the army. In the list of army equipment, one or two hundred tons of Mouse heavy tanks are already behemoths, but the size of the Yamato just one turret is more than many Rats, and the weight of the turret is even more than dozens of Rats.

Therefore, after entering the 20th century, the coastal defense fortresses of the great powers began to use the main gun turrets of decommissioned and demolished battleships as batteries, and the fortresses originally planned to be built by the Americans in Manila Bay, the Philippines, included several newly built battleship main turrets.

Lin Youde thought about it for a long time, and always felt that he could only send Oh-chan out to make a ghost in the water, and in that case, his trip to the front line would have to be canceled - because there was no god as an escort.

Suddenly, Lin Youde remembered that when he first arrived in the Eastern Mediterranean theater of operations, he had thought of blockading Alexandria with mines, but gave up because the British army's air power in Alexandria was too strong.

The mines that have already been transported are now stacked in Tel Aviv.

"Signal Soldiers!"

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"

"Inform the command to immediately allow the tactical bomber units in Tel Aviv to begin loading mines, the same mines that had been planned for the offensive of Alexandria and Port Said. Immediately after loading, it took off, and the target of the mine was the artificial section of the Suez Canal north of Ismailia. ”

The artificial nullah of the canal is only a few hundred meters wide, and the widest part is less than half a kilometer, which is suitable for the mine-laying blockade. Lin Youde did not mine before because the British army had an airfield in the Sinai Peninsula, and it was too risky for bombers to come, but now the British airfield is gone, and the air force is either destroyed on the ground or transferred, so it is a simple and pleasant thing to mine the canal and block the river.

Although it will become very troublesome for Lin Youde to use the canal in the future, once the canal is captured, Lin Youde is ready to let the Ming Empire naval fleet in the Persian Gulf enter the Mediterranean through the Guò Canal, so that the naval strength of the Allied forces in the Mediterranean will be greatly strengthened. Now that the mines have blocked the canal, the plan becomes difficult to carry out unless he can explain to Oh-chan that she will deal with the mines in the river.

With the experience of sniping at the British army just now, Lin Youde is skeptical that he can do this with his communication skills with Oh-chan.

However, it is better than letting the British warship ride in the face and blow up its own counterattack troops.

After making up his mind, Lin Youde called the signal soldier again, dictated his plan to him in detail, and asked for accurate communication to the headquarters and the air force.

Then Lin Youde breathed a long sigh of relief, and then an idea came to him: in the last time and space, the proud Royal Navy suffered a mine loss in the narrow waterway of the Dardanelles, and there was no battle for the Dardanelles in this time and space, so it became Suez.

History is indeed similar.
