Third Reich Episode 417
The opponent's full energy was in the next head-to-head confrontation, and he couldn't control the cautious Montgomery at all. Even Wavell didn't yell at Montgomery, so he was already very face-saving.
After all, what Montgomery is doing now is similar to interrupting the promotion path in other people's minds.
From Wavell's point of view, once he wins this last time, he will [-]% be promoted to a higher level and become a marshal!
This is the most honorable title for any soldier.
And Montgomery persuaded Wavell to stop, which was to stop Wavell in disguise, preventing him from embarking on the road to marshal promotion.
Cutting off one's future is like killing one's parents.
Montgomery finally gave up after Wavell clearly stated his attitude, and continued to persuade the other party to be as safe as possible.
For stubborn people, verbal persuasion has little effect.
"If you really want to start a battle with the German and Italian troops," Montgomery quickly suggested after reluctantly accepting Wavell's plan, "then we must focus on the front line of Capucho and protect the flanks of the attacking troops."
"Also, it's better to..." Montgomery wanted to say something.
"There is no possibility, lieutenant general!" Wavell's chief of staff said to Montgomery in a somewhat annoyed tone: "We know how to command a war, and you don't need to teach it!"
Montgomery was in London before, and he had not seen him help Lord Gott turn things around.
This guy has just been transferred to Wavell's subordinates, so he loves to show off so much, it's really hard for people to accept.
"...Okay then." After a short silence of about 5 seconds, Montgomery chose to take a step back temporarily: "If it is inconvenient for me to participate in the designated combat process this time. Then, please allow me to bring a Troops stand by at the Egyptian border, guarding the rear."
"can."
To Montgomery's surprise, Wavell readily agreed to the request.

Wavell already hated this future whom he had admired so much.
Perhaps it was because of the change in Wavell's mood due to the successive victories. In short, he no longer appreciates Montgomery's cautious and serious attitude as much as before.
But Montgomery is Wavell's new subordinate after all, so it's not good to ignore him completely.
So Wavell thought about his words, and said confidently and calmly: "Bélaante will draw troops from the troops surrounding Tobruk to assist Rommel, and that is when Rommel's troops are obviously unable to resist."
"Before that, neither Berente nor Rommel himself would allow the French army besieging Tobruk to disperse their forces."
Wavell's analysis sounds very logical: "Our duel with the German-Italian African Army this time is also the first real tank battle between us in Africa. The characteristic of tank battles is that the battle situation is not There will be a stalemate going on for too long."
Wavell smiled conceitedly and said: "Once we defeat Rommel's main force, even if Berante, who gets the news, immediately returns to help, he will not be able to save the German-Italian African Army in time!"
Almost everyone was overwhelmed by Wavell's words.Yes, the plan itself is rigorous and logical, not to mention, just because Wavell defeated the three armies of Italy, France and Germany one after another can scare a lot of people to death.
In this world, the general who commanded troops to defeat the Italian army, the French army, and the German army at the same time, so far seems to be only one general, Wavell.
At this time, besides following General Wavell, who has a better choice?
Besides, Wavell wasn't going to joke about his impending marshal title.For him, the defeat of the Allied Tripartite African Army was a major goal of great weight, both public and private.
Just when everyone was nodding their heads, a discordant voice came: "Even if we exclude the aid factor of Garibaldi and Berente, we may not be able to defeat Rommel's African Army?"
The one who spoke was of course the newcomer Montgomery who didn't know how to advance or retreat. Among the nods in the room, he was the only one who shook his head.
Who do you think you are?Wavell couldn't bear it anymore: "This plan has passed the review of the African Coalition Command. At present, we must maintain the annihilation of the main German and Italian forces in this battle and take the initiative on the African battlefield. Therefore, General Montgomery, you can Reserve your opinion, but don't stop our battle plan."
The implication of Wavell's words is that there is naturally no room for negotiation.
This is already the best opportunity.If the siege of Tobruk Fortress by the Allies cannot be used to eliminate the main force in Rommel's hands first, it will be even more difficult to do this in the future.
Wavell has always believed that Rommel's German-Italian-African Army is the backbone of the Allied Triple Alliance in Africa.
In this group army, only the two German divisions under Rommel's command really played a leading role.
"Now, the troops of the Allied Powers have captured Maikili and are approaching Tobruk." Wavell emphasized in a loud voice: "We have deployed a total of 6 infantry brigades, 4 artillery regiments, and 2 anti-tank regiments in Tobruk. standing force. Plus more than 2 newly recruited local troops.”
"Using these forces and Tobruk's strong fortifications, we can turn Tobruk into a thorn in the enemy's flesh and hold back French and Italian reinforcements."
"At this time, the British of our army marched in three directions, trying to launch an attack on the German and Italian Army on the outskirts of Tobruk. The three-way troops attacked Sidioma near Bardia, Caputso Trail and Halfaya respectively. Valley."
Wavell said with great ambition: "As long as our army opens a gap at any of the above three points, we can advance directly and join up with the Tobruk defenders. The advantage of this kind of meeting is that our army will be able to join forces immediately after joining up." Drilling into the rear of the German and Italian troops can cut off the enemy's already very weak communication and supply lines, forcing Rommel to accept a frontal battle."
"This battle is the opening ceremony of our African Conquest Station!" Wavell raised his arms and shouted.
With the commander in the lead, other British generals naturally swarmed and shouted.
"Defeat Rommel one more time, let the Germans know the strength of our British army..."
Montgomery frowned, listening to the rhetoric of these colleagues.
In fact, Montgomery had basically seen through Wavell's battle plan.He obviously found that Wavell said that the troops were too scattered and lacked mutual support, which was very unfavorable for combat.
It's a pity that Montgomery also found that no matter what he said now, Wavell, who was ready to be promoted to Field Marshal, couldn't listen to him.
The opponent's full energy was in the next head-to-head confrontation, and he couldn't control the cautious Montgomery at all. Even Wavell didn't yell at Montgomery, so he was already very face-saving.
