1228 The exile ended

"Just received a telegram from London...... Now, there's no reason for us to continue to hold on......" Looking at Mountbatten, whose face was a little pale, Elizabeth said helplessly.

On the orders of her father, King George VI, she fled with her fleet to India, where she formed a government-in-exile and continued the British posture of resistance to Germany.

But as time passed, everyone found that it seemed that the enemy of the Axis powers, who had been very far away, was now on their doorstep.

No matter how much she insisted at this time, it was in vain, so Elizabeth had such a conversation.

The mobilized troops are still on the way, and they will run into Rommel's eastward army in Iran. Without any barrier to rely on, this patchwork force is likely to be completely annihilated by Rommel in Iran.

The best plan, and the British government-in-exile army, after entering Iraq, will fight the Axis Middle East Army Corps, which is waiting for work, will not be able to retake Baghdad as an important strategic fulcrum.

"The Germans have just sent a message to my father, a top-secret telegram, but the Germans have given it to my father, apparently they have always known that my father has the ability to contact us." Elizabeth saw that Mountbatten did not speak, so she could only bite the bullet and continue.

Then she handed a note to Mountbatten: "The Axis fleet has returned to the Mediterranean...... A day later it will be possible for them to pass through the Suez Canal. ”

This is definitely shocking bad news, and although Phillips's fleet has just won a great victory and morale is high, it is completely unable to compete with the huge Axis fleet.

The other side has a huge fleet of several aircraft carriers and several battleships, even if it is piled up in numbers, it is enough to pile up the British fleet in the harbor.

In terms of speed, Phillips's fleet was no match for the German fleet - if it could outrun the German fleet, the British home fleet would not have been played around that year.

In terms of technology, the German fleet, with its radar and modernization, was clearly more advanced than the Phillips fleet, which was in exile in India with its severely aging equipment.

Even the air force combat aircraft guarding the port, India's air power, is no match for the F-190T carrier-based aircraft on German aircraft carriers.

So, as long as the fleet of the Axis powers entered the Indian Ocean, the fleet of the British government-in-exile Phillips had nowhere to hide.

Previously, Phillips's fleet had avoided attacking German transports, fearing the current situation.

It's a pity that no matter how they evaded, the German fleet still came, and this time, it was a menacing coming!

There is no escape, there is no escape, Elizabeth and several of her staff have to face a very real problem - the Germans are coming from far away, and they are here for real this time!

"What a pity, Your Highness! I didn't bring you a great victory. Mountbatten apologized a little lonely.

He really wanted to make a difference in India and help the British Empire rise from the ashes once again and retain the throne of world hegemon.

It's a pity that he really can't compete with the Axis powers, which are already so powerful that they are terrifying. Even if he tried his best, he didn't have the strength to break free from the shackles of fate.

"It's okay, General! It was supposed to be a kind of insurance for both sides of the bet, but now that my father's side is closer to victory, there is no need for us to hold on any longer. Elizabeth squeezed out an embarrassed smile and said comforting to Mountbatten.

On November 9th, I don't know if it was because history was changed, the weather also changed, the first heavy snow fell from the sky in Moscow, and winter finally arrived in Russia.

Because the preparation was very sufficient, the cotton clothes used by the German combat troops on the front line for winter were sufficient, and the soldiers kept warm very well, and there were no frostbite accidents.

The Soviet defenders, who were counting on a heavy snowfall to repel the Germans, lost part of their forces and abandoned part of their positions because they were not well prepared.

After all, the weather is not directed at one side, but at everyone on both sides of the war. So, the side that is well prepared will be victorious in the battle against the weather.

On November 13, American bombers greeted the Japanese defenders on the islands near Indonesia, and the overwhelming display of 400 B-17 bombers gave the Japanese defenders a glimpse of what it means to destroy the world.

On November 20, the United States landed on Sulawesi, and Shimada, who had just been promoted to the rank of Osa of the Japanese Army Air Corps, was killed in battle, and Iijima Nakasa retreated to Kalimantan with the remnants of the army.

On the same day, Japan sent General Mitsuru Ushijima to the Philippines to hold the vital southeastern defensive line together with Yamashita Fumi, who had held Kalimantan Island.

On 25 November, the Axis Middle East Corps, under the command of General Alfred, who had just been promoted to the ranks, occupied all of Iraq.

Subsequently, on 29 November, Mountbatten, as a representative of the British government-in-exile, arrived in Baghdad, where negotiations on surrender were held, and an agreement was reached.

On the third day of the surrender agreement, after ordering all Australian troops to withdraw from India and return to Australia, Elizabeth took Mountbatten and Auchinleck to surrender to Rommel, who had just returned to the front.

As the British royal family, Queen Elizabeth had the right of pardon, and the head of the Third Reich personally approved the pardon of Elizabeth. With this document, the Axis powers would abstain from holding Elizabeth accountable for her insistence on the anti-axis in India.

And on the same day, December 2, the Luftwaffe flew the largest number of JU-118 bombers ever recorded, taking off from the airfield near Rostov and bombing the Soviet oil fields of Baku.

A full 700 JU-118 bombers flew to the Baku oil field in 4 batches. In order to evade the interception of Soviet fighters, these bombers generally flew at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.

At this altitude, the engine performance of the Soviet fighters deteriorated, and the planes were as if they were stiffened, and they were simply unable to intercept the German bombers.

Therefore, after paying the price of losing 21 bombers, the German bomber group successfully bombed the Baku oil field, on which the Soviet Union depended.

The bombing destroyed at least a quarter of the production facilities of the Baku oil field, reducing the production capacity of the oil field by 30 percent at once.

If it weren't for the inaccuracy of the high-altitude bombing bombs, it would have been possible that this bombing would have destroyed the entire Baku oil field. But the result in front of him was already very brilliant, at least Stalin, after learning the news, angrily threw everything he could.
