Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"General Stilwell, Egypt is German territory." Cun Yunsheng emphasized and reminded again.

He knew very well that the German forces in North Africa should not be underestimated and that they could not be provoked casually.

In his opinion, with the limited manpower and resources at hand, there was no guarantee that he could defeat the German troops stationed in Egypt.

More importantly, up to now, Stilwell had not detailed what he could provide for the European Expeditionary Force.

This is what worries Cun Yunsheng the most.

After all, fighting a war cannot be achieved by just shouting slogans and sending people. It requires real support, such as sufficient weapons and ammunition, reliable logistical support, etc. If there is no certainty about these, how can the war be fought?

According to Cun Yunsheng's idea, this so-called European Expeditionary Force was, after all, just a supporting role in the overall counterattack against Germany.

He knew very well that the main force of this war would definitely be the Soviet army and other allied forces. This was an inevitable trend.

All he could do was to tie down some of the German forces and create more favorable combat conditions for the main force. But he also expected that the number of troops that could be tied down would not be large.

After all, the German army's combat effectiveness is quite strong, and this must be fully taken into consideration.

Even he, Cun Yunsheng, did not dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he could definitely defeat the German army. It would be good enough if he could tie down some of the troops.

Of course, Cun Yunsheng also had his own ambitions and ideals. He was mainly thinking that when Germany collapsed, he must seize the perfect opportunity and enter the German mainland as quickly as possible, so that he could occupy a place in the distribution of interests after the war and consolidate the interests he had obtained.

Therefore, in the early stages of carrying out the European Expeditionary Force's mission, Cun Yunsheng knew very well that he did not need to worry too much about the specific wins and losses of each battle.

As long as we can successfully tie down part of the German forces and let the American side see that we are doing things in a down-to-earth manner instead of just going through the motions, that will be enough.

In this way, he could not only complete the current containment mission assigned to him, but also cleverly reserve enough room for his subsequent series of plans. This was undoubtedly the best strategy he had decided upon after repeated consideration.

However, things are different in the later stages.

At that time, we must fully unleash our combat effectiveness and advance towards the German mainland at a non-stop and time-sensitive speed.

We had to get to mainland Germany as soon as possible before the Allied and Soviet forces, or at least race against time with them.

This time, he felt that he could kick the French army out of the competition for Germany's domestic resources.

After all, the French army's current strength and influence have declined compared to the past. In the competition to seize various resources in Germany, it is estimated that it will be difficult for it to gain an advantageous position.

For Cun Yunsheng, what he values ​​most is being able to obtain various valuable military technical information in Germany.

Although he had obtained some German technology through some channels before this, it was far from enough.

Not only that, the jet technology that Germany is developing is of utmost importance, and we must find ways to get it.

If there is really no way to get it, then it must be destroyed at all costs.

In short, the Soviet army and the Allies must never be allowed to obtain these key technologies.

Because in Cun Yunsheng's view, once these advanced military technologies were mastered by the Soviet army or the Allied forces, it would not be a good thing for him.

Since I can't surpass them technically in the short term, I might as well find a way to bring both sides to the same starting line.

Even if this cannot be achieved, at least the gap between the two sides in military technology cannot be allowed to become larger and larger due to these advanced German technologies.

Only in this way can he avoid being in a too passive position in future military competition.

In addition to thinking about Germany's advanced military technology information, such as jet technology, Cun Yunsheng had other plans in mind.

He was also determined to acquire professional talents such as German engineers and would definitely find a way to pack them up and take them away.

After all, those basic information that may not seem very impressive to others are quite attractive to Cun Yunsheng.

The main reason is that his own foundation in related fields is not solid enough. If he can recruit these German engineers and provide them with basic information, it will be of great help in improving his own strength.

"I know, but there are not many German troops in North Africa, only a few tens of thousands. I believe you can defeat them." Stilwell said in a faint tone on the other end of the phone.

In his opinion, although the German army has always been known for its strong combat effectiveness, the German troops in North Africa are limited now. He feels that the troops led by Cun Yunsheng still have a great chance of winning.

"General Stilwell, that's the German army, they are very powerful." Cun Yunsheng hurriedly reminded him again. He knew very well that the German army was not like the Japanese army. When fighting against the Japanese army, it might cost a little to win.

But the situation with the German army is completely different. They are well-trained, well-equipped, and have extremely high tactical skills. They are by no means an opponent that can be easily dealt with.

"I know, that's why I asked you to form more troops. As for the supplies and equipment, I will solve it for you. Most of the supplies that will be delivered next time will be supplied to you first." Stilwell also understood that it would not work if the horse could only run without grass to eat.

If Cun Yunsheng was not provided with sufficient material and equipment support, the formation and combat mission of the European Expeditionary Force would simply not be accomplished.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's eyes lit up.

Stilwell's sincerity is quite good. If there is a sufficient supply of materials and equipment, then although it will still be difficult to form an army, at least the hardware conditions will be guaranteed, which makes him feel a little more at ease.

However, he still had doubts in his heart about whether he could defeat the German army in North Africa. After all, the German army's combat effectiveness was there, and he couldn't be careless just because they had fewer troops.

"As for the ship problem that you are worried about, it will be solved for you. The British will send ships." Stilwell's words were undoubtedly like a reassurance to Cun Yunsheng, making him feel much more at ease.

You know, transport ships are the key factor in whether the expedition can go smoothly and whether the subsequent supplies can keep up. He had been worried about this before, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this news. Then, the two chatted for a while, and the main topic of the conversation was still around the range of attack.

According to Cun Yunsheng's proposal, after taking over North Africa, he planned to lead his troops to attack the Balkan Peninsula.

The Balkan Peninsula has an important geographical location and extraordinary strategic significance, and perhaps more opportunities and advantages can be found there.

He planned to gain a foothold in the Balkans first and then wait for the right opportunity here.

Once the Allied forces began to land in large numbers and prepared to launch a general offensive against the German mainland, he would act quickly and attack the German mainland.

At that time, he would not only go to fight the German army, but more importantly, he would take the opportunity to seize all usable industrial equipment.

After all, Germany has strong industrial strength, and those industrial equipment contain a lot of valuable resources and advanced technologies. If we can get all of these, it will be of great help in improving our own strength.

Of course, Cun Yunsheng would not reveal the real plan behind this. He just found an excuse, saying that he wanted to tie down part of the German forces for the Allied forces.

In his opinion, this excuse can not only make his actions seem reasonable and legal, but also conceal his true purpose to a certain extent, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Stilwell did not have any doubts about this. Instead, he thought Cun Yunsheng's proposal was very good.

In his eyes, Cun Yunsheng's relatively comprehensive combat plan, which could not only cooperate with the Allied forces' actions but also restrain the German army to a certain extent, was indeed a good plan.

So he agreed with Cun Yunsheng's proposal and thought that it might add some impetus to the entire counterattack against Germany.

After hanging up the phone, Meng Fan came forward with a curious look on his face and couldn't help asking, "Is Yingmei really anxious?"

There was confusion and surprise in his eyes. He was obviously impressed by the anxious attitude of the British and American sides on the phone just now.

"Yes." Cun Yunsheng nodded solemnly.

He knew very well that the reaction of Britain and the United States this time was indeed unusual. Never before had they been seen so anxiously pushing for the establishment of a European Expeditionary Force.

"Even the British are willing to send ships. They are obviously anxious." Meng Fanle frowned slightly and continued.

In his opinion, Britain has always been relatively shrewd and would not easily spend resources unless it was absolutely necessary. The fact that they were willing to send ships to support the expeditionary force was enough to show how anxious they were at the moment.

"So I said, it didn't hurt or itchy before, so Yingmei didn't care. But now you see, aren't they anxious?" Cun Yunsheng responded with a sneer.

The corners of his mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and he thought to himself that before the war developed to the point where Britain and the United States felt the threat personally, they always took it easy. But now that the situation has become serious, they immediately changed their attitude and rushed to promote various measures to deal with it.

"So are we really going to form this so-called European Expeditionary Force?" Meng Fanle asked again worriedly.

He was full of worries. Organizing an expeditionary force was no small matter. It meant taking his brothers to a distant European battlefield full of unknown dangers. It would be a risk of their lives, so he was really reluctant.

"Can it not be formed? Didn't you understand what Stilwell meant?" Cun Yunsheng shook his head helplessly.

He knew that Stilwell's attitude was very clear. This was almost an order that could not be disobeyed. If he did not do as required, it would probably cause a lot of trouble and would not be conducive to subsequent cooperation with Britain and the United States.

"Don't think too much. For us, this expedition may be an opportunity to change our destiny." Cun Yunsheng patted Meng Fanle's shoulder and said earnestly.

There was a hint of expectation and determination in his eyes, as if he had already seen the bright prospects that this expedition might bring.

"Europe was the first to carry out the Industrial Revolution, so they have a strong industrial foundation. When we invade Germany, it will be normal to empty the equipment and so on. After all, it is allowed to let the soldiers rob food." As he said this, Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party meaningfully.

He thought to himself that Germany had so many advanced industrial equipment and valuable technical data. If he could take the opportunity to get them after invading Germany, it would be of great help in improving his own strength. This might really be a great opportunity for them to change their destiny.

"Aren't you afraid that the US military will come after us?" Meng Fanle said with a wry smile, his face full of helplessness and worry.

He knew that his superior had always coveted Germany's industrial equipment, but he didn't expect that he had already planned to this point. However, this matter involved many complex interests after all. What would happen if the US military investigated it?
He knew that although they were now cooperating to fight against the German army, each party had its own agenda. If they went too far in acquiring German industrial equipment, there was no guarantee that the US military would not turn against them.

"Just do it more covertly." Cun Yunsheng looked indifferent.

"My Lord, now that Gibraltar has been lost, can the Allies still win?" Meng Fanle asked curiously again.

As an important strategic location, the loss of Gibraltar undoubtedly cast a shadow on the situation of the Allied forces. Meng Fanle was really worried that this would become the fuse for the ultimate failure of the Allied forces.

"Of course, it's not that we can't take it back if it's lost. It's just that there will be some problems in the short term. When the main fleets of the US military are all mobilized, the German army will have a headache. Compared with the production capacity of the US military, the industrial capacity of the German army is still a little lacking." Cun Yunsheng said casually, his tone revealing a sense of confidence and calmness.

In his opinion, although the loss of Gibraltar has put the Allies in some difficulties for the time being, this is only temporary.

Once the US military mobilizes all of its main fleets, relying on its powerful military force and strong industrial capacity, the situation will be reversed and the German army will face tremendous pressure.

After all, the US military's industrial production capacity is extremely strong, and it can continuously provide large quantities of weapons, equipment and other materials. In comparison, the German army's industrial capacity is still slightly inferior.

"Not to mention that the Soviet army is watching us covetously. Fighting on two fronts is not that easy." Cun Yunsheng continued, with a shrewd look in his eyes.

He was well aware that the German army currently had to deal with the pressure of the Allies on the Western Front, while also guarding against the threat of the Soviet Army on the Eastern Front. Fighting on two fronts was undoubtedly a huge challenge for the German army.

The Soviet army also possessed strong military strength and had been putting considerable pressure on the German army on the Eastern Front. It would be very difficult for the German army to escape unscathed or achieve final victory under such circumstances.

Therefore, judging from the overall situation, the Allied Forces still have a great chance of winning. Meng Fanle is really a little too worried. (End of this chapter)
