The Navy Command sent not only orders, but also a large amount of information and instructions for the next course of action

Show. When Tan Renhao saw these documents, he realized that the capture of the Cape Verde Islands was actually one

superfluous and doesn't make much sense.

Spain had officially announced its surrender at the beginning of the year, and signed a treaty with the Allied bloc

Treaty of Pori. According to the treaty, the Spanish army was to disarm the Don Empire, Germany and the Persian Empire, respectively

, in which the Germans were responsible for the takeover and occupation of the eight autonomous regions of northern Spain, which presumably occupied Spain

About forty percent of the land in the country of Tooth. The Tang Empire was responsible for the takeover of twelve provinces and autonomous regions in central Spain

This also accounted for about 40% of the land of Spain, and the Persian Empire was responsible for occupying the west

The southern region of Panga is divided into six autonomous regions.

The Tang Empire's European Legion had already reached the occupation zone when Tan Renhao left the Caribbean

, which is now in charge of receiving disarms from the Spanish troops in the occupied territories and taking over the administration of the occupied territories

Make. The Treaty of Tripoli did not establish the ownership of the Gibraltar Fortress because of this

The fortress was still controlled by the British, and the Tang Empire and Germany still had control of the fortress

There is a huge disagreement, and Tan Renhao has a lot to do with the Gibraltar Fortress in one of their underground missions.

In addition to Spain's official announcement of its surrender, the Portuguese government was also in contact with the Don Empire. grape

Tooth did not mean to enter the battlefield, after all, it was too late to declare its entry into the war at this time, but Portugal did not

I want to become an underground blow to the Tang Empire because of the defeat of Spain and the fact that he had previously assisted the anti-Tang alliance

Target. Therefore, the Portuguese prime minister proposed quite huge conditions to Xue Xiyue, such as the Portuguese army

to provide part of the non-combat assistance to the Tang Empire Expeditionary Force. The Portuguese territory could be the Tang Empire

The expeditionary force provides support and so on.

It was only three days after Tan Renhao and his conquest of the Cape Verde Islands that the Portuguese government was right

reached an agreement with the Tang Empire government that all overseas territories of Portugal were unconditionally open to the Tang Empire, and

and take back all the military facilities that were previously leased to Britain and the United States. There will also be no Portuguese troops stationed overseas

Assisting the Tang Expeditionary Force in non-combat missions. That is to say, talk about Renhao and they only

You need to wait for three days before you can drive directly into Puerto Praia. There is no need to intimidate Portugal at all

Governor!

At this point, the overall situation in Europe was basically settled, because the Tang Empire occupied the Spanish territory

and the Germans did not have a naval fleet in the Mediterranean, so it was difficult for the Germans to reach the fortress of Gibraltar.

Spain and Portugal turned to each other, and they didn't need to spend money to leave to attack Canaria

The archipelago is up to Madeira and the fleet can go directly to Madeira. Obtain the necessary features there

and then sail to the Gibraltar Fortress. As for when Italy surrendered, it doesn't matter, right

As far as the Tang Empire is concerned, it would be good for Italy to hold out for a few more months, so that Germany can send part of its troops

to the south of France, as well as to the southern part of the territory of the country, to deal with the Italian threat. Thus unable to concentrate

All forces attacked the British.

The war on the entire European continent has basically ended, and only one of the remaining lands is still strong

Holding United Kingdom. This also became the biggest contradiction between the Tang Empire and Germany at that time. The Tang Empire strategically bombed

The bombers have basically stopped bombing Britain in the second half of 27 years, first, the British land is heavy

To basic industrial facilities have basically been blown up. The second is that the Tang Empire did not want Germany to quickly hit Britain

go, and even more did not want Britain to surrender to Germany. In addition, Germany was no longer actively strategic bombers for the Reich

The troops provide combat materiel. Anyway. There were a lot of contradictions, and they got to the end. The empire began gradually at the beginning of 28

The strategic withdrawal of troops stationed in Europe was replaced by ground forces, which clearly limited German control over the whole of Europe.

If it weren't for the limitations of the Treaty of Alliance. The war is not over yet, I'm afraid Emperor Tang

The armies of China and Germany have long been on the European continent. And with Germany will be more and more

Combat forces were concentrated near the English Channel, and at the same time the small fleet of the German Navy entered the north several times

The sea provokes the British Navy and the Great Fleet. Germany's intention to attack British soil was already quite obvious. From that time

Judging from the information obtained by the Tang Empire, Germany was not capable of launching a regular landing campaign in 28

Under the British, but Germany had a sufficient number of airborne troops. If the German Navy could entangle the British Grand Fleet,

At the same time, if the Luftwaffe was able to seize air supremacy over the British mainland, then Germany was likely to use it

Airborne troops went to seize the airfield and harbor at the southern tip of the British mainland, and then sent the heavy troops over.

That is, the Germans could not wait to hit England . And the empire must be robbed

Forced Britain to surrender before Germany. This is Tan Renhao's final task, and the fleet must be as soon as possible

Reach the North Atlantic. Defeat the British naval ground fleet and eventually force the British to surrender. Prior to that,

Tan Renhao has another task. That is to capture the fortress of Gibraltar and avoid the fortress of Gibraltar falling into Germany

In the hands of the land.

"There was no clear order from the command of the Navy." Tan Renhao quickly called Chang Jianxin and Hao Dongjue

Come on." It is only mentioned that if the Second Fleet is not able to move north quickly. Then the First Fleet will go north, by Weng

Ichiming provided us with a division of marines to arrive at the Gibraltar fortress as soon as possible and prepare for the fight with Persia

The Imperial Navy's Mediterranean Fleet will prepare and then head north to attack the British mainland."

"Looks like the Second Fleet can't leave now."

"What does Jiang Zhongmin mean?" Chang Jianxin is not as anxious as Hao Dongjue.

"I haven't been in touch with Jiang Zhongmin yet, I sent a telegram last night, and he hasn't called back yet." Talk

Ren Hao went to get a telegram, "However, Weng Yiming has already sent a telegram. Two Marine Divisions in the reinforcement area

It was yesterday that one of the Marine Divisions would continue to assist the Second Fleet in the assault on Monrovia, while the other

An outer Marine Division will follow us north. The convoy transporting this Marine Division will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Then we can leave the day after tomorrow." ■Dong Jue hurriedly came out again.

"It's not a problem to go north." Chang Jiexin said as he knocked twice on the table. Spain already

Defeated, Portugal has already compromised with us, and we don't have to attack the islands along the way. chiefly

The question is whether our supplies will keep up, and what the British Navy will do to the Second Fleet

Will it be able to quickly lay down Monrovia, as well. We will join forces with the Mediterranean Fleet of the Persian Empire

How is the wielding of power arranged? These are all problems, and if they are not solved well, then we will go north the most

Arriving at the fortress of Gibraltar, as for attacking the British mainland, I am afraid that we are not able to finish it at this time

Mission."

"The Persian Empire won't cause us trouble, will it? At least they're much better than the Germans."

"These problems have already been explained by the Navy Command." Tan Renhao breathed a sigh of relief, "The supply will mainly be provided by Weng

Yiming was in charge, and it was not very difficult to attack the fortress of Gibraltar, and there were only a few thousand British troops there.

By then, the Third Fleet should have swept the Caribbean, at least bringing the Little Andres Islands to the United States

The fortresses have been destroyed. We entered the British local dialect, and Han Shaofeng was mainly responsible for the logistics support.

Whether the Second Fleet can quickly defeat Monrovia may depend on whether the British army will surrender voluntarily.

If he continues to fight as he is now, Jiang Zhongmin may have to run into a lot of trouble. The biggest problem is also us

The unpredictable problem is the British naval response."

Chang Jianxin nodded slightly, this is indeed a tricky problem, the British Navy still has more than a dozen ships

Battleships. Its newest Eagle-class aircraft carrier has been built at least four in '26 and '27, which is enough

Forming a fleet that is larger than the First Fleet. In addition, the quality of British naval ground soldiers is better than that of the United States

The national navy was much better, with the exception of the annihilated expeditionary fleet, the British navy in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean

The loss of land was not large, and a number of high-quality troops were trained. If there is a real fight, the First Fleet will not be able to occupy it

How much cheaper.

"We certainly can't avoid a decisive battle with the British Navy, unless Britain surrenders before then."

■Dong Jue leaned back in the chair and lifted Erlang's legs. For us, it's really a place in time

The question is whether to fight the British Navy in a decisive battle when we attack the fortified area of Gibraltar, or whether to wait until we are headed

The British Continental Advance will only have a decisive battle with the British fleet."

"That's the key question." Chang recommended the new Chao Tan Renhao looked over, "I think. It's better to still unite the first

The Second Fleet, especially the Sixth Task Force, if they really want to have a real fight with the British, the Third Fleet

The strength of the mixed fleet is a little too thin."

"And the Mediterranean Fleet of the Persian Empire, why do you have to cooperate with the Second Fleet?" ■Tokaku

Very disgusted with the Second Fleet.

"The Persian Empire's fleet is not our own fleet after all." Tan Renhao glanced at Hao Dongjue.

"When the time comes, the fight will start. Whether it can cooperate effectively is a question. The cliché makes sense,

We'd better be able to enlist the support of the Second Fleet."

"Then we'll have to slow down our heading north." Chang Jianxin sighed, "But now the naval headquarters is located."

The order was to let us go immediately and reach the Gibraltar fortress as soon as possible. If the British Navy decides to go south

If you attack us, I'm afraid that this northward operation will have to be more cautious."

"The main thing is that we don't have enough control over the ground operations of the British fleet." Tan Renhao also sighed.

In the ground intelligence sent by the naval command, it was only mentioned that the British home fleet had been with the ground in early December last year

The German fleet had a dry fight in eastern North Sea. The hopes of the German Navy rushing into the North Sea were dashed again. war

The scale of the bucket is not large. The small German fleet on its own soil would not have been able to break out of the British naval blockade.

And what the British fleet was doing next and where it was moving, we don't know much, maybe in the North Sea

, perhaps back to some port in Scotland, perhaps having left the English mainland, or even towards us

I'm coming."

"If we can engage the British fleet as far as possible, we have a good chance of winning

and more."

"Don't get your hopes up too much for the weather." Tan Renhao directly broke Hao Dongjue's thoughts, "Every year."

Weather conditions in the North Atlantic are not much better until May. Maybe Gibraltar over there

The sea conditions are favorable to us, but further north, it will be difficult for our aircraft carriers to play a major role."

"Maybe the British won't come to Gibraltar to fight us, but near their homeland

Waiting for us."

Tan Renhao nodded slightly. Okay, let's worry about these things in the future, now the head

The problem is that we have to get to the Gibraltar fortress as soon as possible. I will immediately contact the convoy and wait for a land battle

As soon as the team caught up, we set off, and as to whether the Second Fleet could help, or if not

If you want to help, that's something we can't decide, so we don't have to think about it."

On the same day, Chang Jianxin returned to Praia, and he left about 300 officers and men of the Marine Corps with the ship in Praia

Raya, waiting for the arrival of the main forces of the Marine Corps. The 3rd Task Force left the port on the same day, and the first

The task force and the second task force did not enter the port of Playa at all.

Three days later, a convoy of ground transports carrying a Marine Division arrived in Praia. The fleet only stops in the harbor

After staying for the night, replenishing fuel, food, and fresh water, we set off. At this time. The First Fleet has already moved to

It was about 200 miles north. By the time of January 27, the first ship

Team has

Arrived in the waters of the Canary Islands. Because there had been no Allied troops coming before, Tan Ren

Hao arranged for a battalion of marines to go to the island to contain the Spanish troops in the surrender area, and there was a delay of a day

Space. By January 30, the fleet had reached Madeira, where it had received a freshwater supply, Portugal

The Grapetooth also provided the fleet with a batch of fresh food.

On the first of February, the supply fleet arrived. Fueling was provided for the ground warships of the First Fleet. on a supply ship

After returning to the port of Praia, the First Fleet continued north on the second day. At this time, the First Fleet

It's been about eight days since I left Praia and have been sailing north. The weather has been good these days, no

There are some big storms and waves, and after getting fresh food . The spirits of the officers and men have also improved a lot.

Tan Renhao had already deployed the attack on the Gibraltar fort at the end of January. A Marine Division.

With the addition of a few powerful task forces, it was easy to take down the fortress of Gibraltar. The only thing that worries Tan Renhao

The ground is still long overdue for the British naval fleet. The British will look at Gibraltar with their eyes open

Did the fortress fall? Or are you waiting for the main fleet of the Imperial Navy to come to your door? This makes Tan Ren

Hao felt a little unbelievable, anyway, even if the British were dying, they should be struggling

Instead of sitting still!
