For Francisco Franco, who had always been concerned with Spanish interests, he would not declare war on Germany unless he had to.

This is also the reason why he has always remained neutral and insisted on not joining Germany, or the front of Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries to participate in World War II.

So when Francisco Franco had finished encouraging his subordinates on land, sea and air to express his opinion, he didn't say anything more, and finally let the diplomats settle the matter.

That is to say, his decision is to look at the weakness of the other side and the strength of the other side; The chance of victory is relatively high, and it is possible to choose to take refuge in the other party.

Many of the high-ranking officers of the Spanish government were greatly relieved by Francisco Franco's final decision, and as long as they did not immediately declare war on Germany, they would not care about anything.

As long as the British, American, Soviet and German armies fought to the death, they muffled their wealth and made money.

Immediately after Francisco Franco gave the order for diplomatic representations, the Spanish Foreign Minister also immediately convened a meeting of all officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss how to negotiate and return the German invasion of the port of Ceuta.

At this time in the English Channel, Chief of Staff John was also anxiously waiting for the reinforcements of Prime Minister Churchill and Eisenhower and others.

"Damn the Germans! Damn Rommel! And the damn Eisenhower! ”

"The English Channel, which I am guarding is about to be occupied by the Germans! But what about the reinforcements promised to me? Why didn't any of them get here! ”

"I had known that the German offensive would come so quickly, and I would not have accepted the order of Churchill's fellow to parachute in here to suffer! All right! Now I don't know how to deal with the German army that is approaching the city! ”

In the dimly lit conference room of the bomb shelter, Chief of Staff John yelled angrily.

In this temporary headquarters converted from an underground anti-aircraft bunker, the sea of lights deployed by the British army is relatively bright and not too dark; Although at this moment the use of general power generation technology, and the average quality of light bulbs; But the advantage is that there are many of them, and they are prepared in advance, so there will be no embarrassing situation of dark and bright from time to time.

Although the fuel for generators is a strategic material and cannot be wasted.

But as the war situation in the English Channel became worse and worse, Chief of Staff John had little scruples to save his use.

Especially now that he can command the British troops, there is only one battalion of guards and the strength of the 2nd Regiment, and after the fifth round of missile bombardment by the German army, the strength of this regiment is less than three battalions.

If no reinforcements arrived, the battle would have ended with the defeat of the British.

In fact, at this moment, Chief of Staff John also wanted to inspect the battle situation in the hard-hit areas that were bombed by German missiles and seriously attacked by air raids, but in order to maintain contact with Churchill, Eisenhower and other high-level British and American leaders, Chief of Staff John could only take some of the remaining high-ranking officers, like hibernating animals, to nest in this bomb shelter all day long.

Therefore, it also invisibly made his personality and temper irritable, irritable, and worried and suspicious.

When he had finished scolding, he stared blankly at a map of the English Channel hanging on the wall of the conference room, many of which had been marked with red pens the numbers of the German landing force, the airborne troops, and the troops below.

At that moment, Chief of Staff John could not have dreamed that the German army was marching so fast, almost twice as fast as the Polish blitzkrieg.

But the thing that made him most ashamed was that he killed the British troops under his command and could not believe that they would lose so quickly and completely.

In the midst of the powerful naval and air bombardment of the German army, their troops were completely annihilated one platoon after another.

Sometimes even a company or a battalion of troops is wiped out.

Such an organization gave the results of annihilation, in the battles he experienced. Not very often.

In particular, the result of such a battle was still happening in less than half a day.

"Sir! Eisenhower has called! In about two hours, our air reinforcements will be able to reach our skies for air support! ”

"In addition, Prime Minister Churchill also called and said that in an hour, our Royal Aircraft Carrier Fleet will be able to appear in the English Channel to fight the German navy!"

Just when the chief of staff, John, was at the height of his irritability, a telegraph operator suddenly walked in in a hurry and with a look of surprise and reported to him with joy.

"Now that the battle in the English Channel is basically decided, what if they come? And it will take them another one to two hours to get to us! ”

"At that moment, it is still unknown whether we will be able to live or not!"

To the telegrapher's surprise, Chief of Staff John sighed disheartenedly.

As the words fell, the entire battle command room fell silent, and all the officers here were still cheering and cheering, ready to celebrate the arrival of reinforcements.

Who knew that it would be wiped out by the Chief of Staff John, who spoke to the extreme.
