Anti-Japanese War: My equipment is infinitely refreshed

"Are you going to escape again?" In the royal palace in Cairo, which was full of historical charm but a little desolate due to the war, the Queen of Egypt, who had finally secured the throne, looked at her subordinates in front of her with resentment on her face, her tone full of helplessness and unwillingness.

Thinking back to the last time there was war, she fled with the British Army, hoping to escape from the war and find a safe place. However, she failed to escape halfway. Her luck was so bad that she was captured by the German army.

However, the German army did not do anything to her. After a series of complicated negotiations, the German army felt that they could support her to become king and let her manage the land of Egypt, which would also make it easier for the German army to better control the situation here and obtain various resources.

However, her throne was not secure. Many people in the country were dissatisfied with her and thought she was just a puppet of the German army and had no right to be the king.

Therefore, during this period of time, she has been busy cleaning up those who opposed her, trying to consolidate her position and establish her authority through various means. The process was extremely difficult. She finally relied on the power of the German army and gradually sat firmly on the throne. She thought she could breathe a sigh of relief, but who knew that something unexpected would happen again.

The expeditionary force sent by the Allies had actually arrived, and their fighting power was amazing. They were unstoppable and were advancing rapidly all the way, and were about to enter Cairo.

This made her very worried. She was speechless and thought that her luck was so bad. Why did she have so many disasters? If she had known that the situation would be like this, she would rather not agree to cooperate with the German army. Now she was in such a dangerous and difficult situation. She was in big trouble.

After all, before this, Egypt was a colony of the British Empire, and everyone was used to living under the rule of the British Empire. But now she was following the German army. If Cairo was recaptured by the Allies, they would all be considered traitors. According to the Allied style of doing things, they would definitely be liquidated. By then, let alone the throne, they might not even be able to keep their lives. This was what worried her the most.

However, at this point, she was really powerless. She had no strong military force under her command, and had no way to compete with the Allied Expeditionary Force. She had no choice but to pin her only remaining hope on the German army, hoping that the German army could defend Cairo and block the Allied attack.

After the queen expressed her idea, the trusted ministers standing before her kept silent. They lowered their heads and remained silent. The scene was extremely awkward.

"Do you think the German army can't hold on?" When the queen saw the looks of the ministers, she immediately understood something. She was not a fool. She showed an expression of disbelief on her face and raised her voice.

She thought to herself, could it be that even these ministers whom she trusted the most on weekdays were no longer optimistic about the German army? Wouldn't her last bit of hope be shattered? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She stared at the ministers closely, wanting to hear a different answer from them.

"I'm afraid there's not much hope." A trusted minister shook his head slowly, his face full of distress, and said with a long sigh.

He was also filled with helplessness. Originally, everyone thought that following the German army would ensure peace, but who could have imagined that the situation would turn out like this.

Before, they had fully believed that since the German army had defeated the British army, the German army would definitely win the war. After all, the British army was a force that could not be underestimated on the North African battlefield. The German army must have been strong enough to defeat the British army. However, who knew that the Allied forces would be so powerful? This sudden emergence of a powerful force was really beyond their expectations, and it suddenly turned the seemingly clear situation into chaos.

Upon hearing the words of her trusted minister, the queen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. Her face, which originally had a hint of expectation, was now filled with gloom, as if all the vitality had been drained away at once.

Obviously, she knew in her heart that if the current situation continued to develop, she would be doomed. Once the Allied forces entered Cairo, she would be in great danger. When she thought of this, she became extremely panicked, but she really couldn't think of any good way to deal with it.

"Queen, should we consider negotiation?" Another trusted minister looked at the queen's ugly face and hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but speak. He thought that now that it has come to this, perhaps negotiation can still gain a glimmer of hope, which is better than sitting and waiting for death.

"Negotiate? With whom?" The queen widened her eyes, looked at the other party, and asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Her mind was in a mess at the moment. She hadn't thought about negotiation at all, and she didn't know who to negotiate with under the current circumstances.

"Of course it's the Allies. If they allow us to surrender, we can consider surrendering. After all, it was the German army that forced us before." The trusted minister hurriedly explained. He was thinking that as long as he could put all the blame on the German army and say that all this was forced by the German army, the Allies might show leniency and let them go. In this way, everyone could at least save their lives.

Hearing this, the queen's face was still extremely ugly. She opened her mouth and wanted to scold the other party, thinking that the idea of ​​surrender was too spineless. But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back, because she also knew that there was really no better way now. It was just that the unwillingness in her heart was still at work, so for a moment, she didn't know what to say. She could only stand there, dazed with a gloomy face, caught in a dilemma.

After a long while, the queen seemed to have finally freed herself from her tangled and painful emotions. She nodded slowly and agreed to the other party's proposal.

She knew very well that even if she disagreed at the moment, these people would probably secretly negotiate surrender with the Allies behind her back. After all, at this critical moment of life and death, everyone must be thinking about how to save their own lives, and would not care about her thoughts as the queen.

Thinking of this, the queen couldn't help but feel worried. She felt very nervous and unsure about what to do.

She understood that if these ministers went to negotiate surrender, they might be able to get the Allies to let them off by putting all the blame on the Germans, and it wouldn't be a big deal. But it was different for her. She was supported by the Germans and sat on the throne. How could the Allies let her off so easily? She was afraid that she would not have a good ending. When she thought of the bleak future, or even the possibility of losing her life, she looked a little lonely for a moment. She stood there blankly, as if she had lost her energy. Her heart was full of worry and helplessness.

On the other side, Cun Yunsheng was busy in the headquarters when he suddenly received a telegram from Bula. He took the telegram and looked at it. He was surprised and frowned slightly. He muttered, "Surrender? Act as an insider?" His face was full of disdain, and then he snorted coldly, "What a fence-sitter."

It turned out that through the information provided by Li Si, Cun Yunsheng had a very clear understanding of what had happened in Egypt before.

After Cairo was lost, the German army supported the queen at that time in order to quickly seize the land of Egypt, obtain various resources here, and better carry out strategic layout. Cun Yunsheng naturally had a certain understanding of this queen. He heard that she had a good reputation among the people. The people thought she was a smart person who cared about the people, and she was also capable. After getting the support of the German army, she wanted to carry out a series of reforms in a bold way, hoping that Egypt could develop better in this chaotic world, and also to consolidate her throne.

Who would have thought that before she had sat firmly on the throne for two days, Cun Yunsheng would arrive with his troops, and as soon as they arrived, they showed strong fighting power and directly wiped out an elite armored division of the Italian army. This scared both the German army and the queen. The originally relatively stable situation suddenly became tense again. No wonder the queen is now thinking of surrendering again. It seems that she has been confused by the series of changes.

After thinking for a while, Cun Yunsheng sat on the chair, tapping the table with his fingers, frowning slightly, still hesitating about this matter. After all, this is not an easy decision, involving the interests of many parties and the subsequent strategic layout.

If we could take Cairo without bloodshed, that would be the best thing ever.

Cairo's geographical location is very important. Taking it means opening up a key passage, and then we can march straight to Alexandria Port.

The port of Alexandria is also a strategic location. Once the port is recaptured, the subsequent maritime transportation, troop deployment and other aspects of the Allied Forces will be much more convenient.

After the Allied Navy arrives smoothly as planned, he can consider opening up a second battlefield.

That's right, he had always had such a bold idea in his mind, that is, to land directly in Italy. Italy is also a key link in the situation of the entire European battlefield. If the German defense line can be torn open here and then advance all the way, it will have great significance for the entire Allied combat plan.

Moreover, once the Allied forces invaded Germany, he could take advantage of the favorable situation and go directly north, deep into the heart of Germany, and put more pressure on the German army. He could even go west to France and outflank the German army from another direction. In this way, the German army would be attacked from both sides and fall into an extremely passive situation, which would be a great help in finally defeating the German army and ending the war.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but reveal a confident and slightly expectant smile on his face, as if he had already seen the scene of victory slowly unfolding before his eyes.

"Tell Bula that you can agree to their request, and ask him to speed up." Cun Yunsheng finally made up his mind, his eyes became firm, and he started to give orders. He thought that since there was such an opportunity to easily take Cairo, he couldn't miss it. He had to seize it quickly and move the plan forward as soon as possible.

"Yes." The subordinates responded immediately after hearing the order, and then quickly conveyed the instructions. The entire situation was about to develop in a new direction because of this decision.

.........

After receiving the order, Bula did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately assembled his troops and led them to Cairo. At this time, Cairo was shrouded in a tense and depressing atmosphere. In addition to the original Egyptian troops, the German army only had one regiment of troops stationed in the city.

"The enemy is only a few dozen kilometers away from here, and it won't take long for them to arrive. Tell me how to defend this city?" Colonel Halder of the German army stood in a temporary command post in the city, frowning and looking at his subordinates with worry, and asked anxiously. He knew very well that the current situation was extremely critical, and the enemy was coming fiercely and was about to attack the city. However, with the limited number of troops he had, it was too difficult to defend such a large city, so he was eager to hear from his subordinates if there was any good solution.

In Colonel Halder's opinion, the army composed of indigenous people was no longer within his consideration. After all, their combat effectiveness varied and their loyalty was hard to say. Now the only force he could truly command and mobilize to defend the city was this one regiment, which made him feel extremely uncertain.

"Colonel, I'm afraid we can't defend this city." A major said helplessly with a bitter expression on his face after hearing the colonel's question.

He felt helpless as well. This ancient city had just experienced a baptism of war not long ago, and the fortifications in the city were severely damaged at that time. Although they had been working hard to repair them later, time was limited after all. As a result, they have not been completely repaired yet. The fortifications are in tatters everywhere, with gaps here and sections of barriers missing there. They are not perfect at all.

With these unrepaired shabby fortifications and the limited number of troops at hand, there is little hope of defending the city. The major knows that this is almost an impossible task, but he has no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the colonel this cruel reality, hoping that the colonel can come up with some other countermeasures.

"I know, but we must defend it to the death. Otherwise, if Cairo is lost, the Allied forces will attack Alexandria next. You all know the consequences." Colonel Halder looked as serious as a sculpture, with a resolute look in his eyes and a firm tone.

He knew very well that once Cairo fell, the entire strategic defense line would be torn open, and the Allies would be able to march straight into Alexandria. The importance of Alexandria was self-evident. If it was lost, the German army's layout along the Mediterranean coast would be in chaos, and the situation in the entire North African battlefield would completely fall to the Allies' side. The chain reaction it would bring was simply unimaginable.

Hearing this, the officers looked at each other and saw helplessness and solemnity in each other's eyes.

They naturally knew what these words meant. If something went wrong in Alexandria, the German forces in North Africa would collapse one after another like dominoes.

At that time, the officers in charge of defense will definitely bear the most serious consequences.

Moreover, this is not just a matter of their personal honor and disgrace, but also concerns the entire German army's strategic deployment in North Africa and subsequent combat plans.

They were like being roasted on a fire. They knew that defending Cairo was a difficult task, but they had no other choice but to bite the bullet and prepare for the upcoming attack. (End of this chapter)
