Chapter 541 Middle East (6)

"It seems that the weather in North Africa is good." Yannick warmly welcomed Rommel who came back from North Africa to report on his work. He couldn't help but complain in his heart that this guy obviously came back to visit his wife under the pretext of reporting on his work. His wife's birthday was a few days away.

If you use one word to describe Rommel's view of love, you can use "hold your hand and grow old with you." Rommel in his youth was resolute, shy and introverted. He did not smoke, drink strong liquor, or approach women. He always lived a strict Spartan abstinence life. In March 1911, Rommel was sent to the Royal Officer Candidate School in Danzig for further studies for 8 months, but he rarely experienced the night scenery of this coastal city with bright lights and wine.

At that time, Danzig often held officer balls, and these young students and some daughters of local celebrities were invited to participate. At a summer ball, Rommel met a 17-year-old girl named Lucy Morin and launched a crazy pursuit of her.

Lucy didn't like Rommel at first, thinking that he was too serious and didn't match her lively personality, but when Rommel put on a monocle and imitated his Prussian officers vividly, she was still amused by him. The two quickly fell in love.

In the study and life of the military academy, Rommel spent almost all his time writing love letters to Lucy, except for daily study and training. This habit did not change even in the increasingly tense North African battlefield in the future. In North Africa, Rommel wrote a letter to Lucy every day, sometimes even several letters. Some letters were neatly written, pouring out thoughts in their spare time, while others were written on the back of documents, calendars and other military supplies, often dictated by him and written by his adjutant. After the war, Lucy kept more than 1,000 letters written by Rommel to her during his time in North Africa. These letters were later searched by the US military. Interestingly, since all the letters were signed "Your Erwin", these letters were not included in Rommel's materials, but were opened under another account name "Erwin". It was not until many years after the war that these letters were returned to Lucy.

According to the recollections of Lucy's female companions, "Rommel spoiled Lucy almost to the point of pampering. He always said, 'Dearest Lu, just tell me what you want'. In the end, he spoiled her like a shrew. If she didn't like one of her female companions, the others had to be excluded together." In this way, it is not difficult to understand why Rommel ruthlessly drove Gauss out after Mrs. Rommel and Gauss's wife had an argument in 1944.

Before the Normandy landing, it was Lucy's birthday. Because the weather on the front line had been bad, Rommel took this opportunity to return to Germany to celebrate his wife's birthday.

Who knew that the Allies chose this day as the landing day? Opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. When Rommel rushed back to the battlefield, even if he was the Desert Fox, he was powerless to save the situation.

After reporting the situation in North Africa, Rommel mentioned the Middle East war. "Your Highness, the Jewish Army attacking the Middle East..."

Yannick asked casually while signing the document. "What's wrong with them?"

Rommel hesitated for a moment before speaking carefully. "I heard that they did not accept the other side's surrender, and even massacred the prisoners of war they had captured before." Not accepting surrender and massacring and killing prisoners of war are serious violations of the Geneva Convention. The German army has never had such a thing since the beginning of the war.

"Oh? Who gave the order?" Looking at Yannick's calm and composed appearance; Rommel also guessed that he had known about this, but still answered truthfully. "It's the temporary commander of the Jewish Army."

"Are you wondering if this is my order? I have this idea, but I haven't issued an order. This commander is very perceptive, and it seems that he will accomplish great things in the future." Seeing Rommel's hesitant look, Yannick continued. "What's so surprising? Each of these guys has the potential to be a terrorist. Now it's better to eliminate them as much as possible. It's hard to keep them as a future trouble. This is also the reason why I specially dispatched the Jews to attack the Middle East. They want to establish a country in Jerusalem, and they will have to deal with Arabs frequently in the future. Let them practice first."

During the conversation, Dr. Goebbels came to Yannick. "Dr. Goebbels, publish the Middle East war in the newspaper and say that those Arab soldiers are brave and good at fighting. They fight to the last man and would rather die than surrender. They are opponents worthy of admiration."

Rommel was stunned. The combat effectiveness of those Arab soldiers can only be described as scum. They are simply vulnerable to collapse and vulnerable; but His Highness said that these guys are brave and good at fighting and would rather die than surrender?

Yannick smiled and said. "Those Arab soldiers died bravely in battle. Who dares to say that they were executed after surrendering? Even if it gets out, who would believe it?"

"Also, we send refugees from the war to America. Americans like to promote their so-called democracy, freedom, and human rights. Let's see if they will accept these refugees. If Americans refuse to accept them, we will strongly criticize their hypocrisy."

The number of refugees in the world in later generations is in the hundreds of millions, especially in the Middle East, where there are tens of millions of refugees. Most refugees become refugees because of war. Their homes are destroyed and their property is scattered, and they eventually become refugees.

Most of these wars are related to the United States. It can be said that the United States caused these people to be displaced. In theory, it has the responsibility to help and accept refugees. On the other hand, as a world superpower and the most powerful country in the world, the United States enjoys the interests of the world. From the perspective of international morality, the United States also has the most core obligation to accept refugees.

But the fact is just the opposite. The United States has never accepted refugees from beginning to end, and even illegal immigrants find it difficult to enter the United States. They only have one principle, that is, "America first".

The United States only wants benefits, not burdens. If a large number of refugees flock to the United States, there will only be damage and no benefits for the United States. Moreover, the United States is also worried that the arrival of refugees will cause chaos in the US security, so it is determined not to accept a refugee. They only welcome people who are rich, talented, or powerful to come to the United States and immigrate to the United States, because this is beneficial to the United States.

And now Yannick is ready to send all the refugees in the Middle East to the United States. Although the two countries have declared war, Germany cannot send them personally, but there are still many neutral countries.

For example, Greece.

It just so happened that Greece was recently negotiating an arms trade with Germany, so Yannick asked Greece for a favor and to hang the Greek flag on the refugee transport ship; and Greece naturally did not dare to offend Germany.
