This plan is known as codename operation Adenfox (Suez-faux(fake)+ desert fox = Suezfox) and when I say I execute operation suezfoxfox this plan is what I'm executing, further revisions will be made, most likely with planning aid from the Italian high command. Anyway STEP 0/Preparation: we commander as many ships as possible and draft plans to send most of the navy and a few thousand men (about 5 percent of our army) twords the suez, that way we can trick the brits into thinking we are going to attempt to destroy it (which we will if we can (though it would take only about 2 weeks to repair due to the cheap explosives we are giving them), but we will probably fail due to this being a diversion from the Libyan and Ethiopian fronts) at the same point as the diversion we land in Aden to secure that area STEP 1: quickly land around the port on the straight of aden STEP 2: destroy the cut off British garrisons, captuing the port and allowing us to cut off british shipping, then push down the coast STEP 3: prepare for an offensive in the south (the super bright green one) STEP 4: One the brits Start to bush us out of aden/southern yemen we quickly retreat back to the mainland with those troops STEP 5: we do the offensive we prepared for before and the other one in the north, both cutting off notable parts of the British army STEP 6: we crush these pockets (during all this we were building the fortline)
Basiccally we land in aden to distract them then encircle forces to delay, weaken, and scare the British (hopefully into over-caution in future offensives). They will fall for it because if they don't re-occupy Aden the Suez is cut off and they can't supply their front against me anywhere near as easily.
