Chapter 449: The Mediterranean (6)

Western traditional culture has a great characteristic: if you can't win, you will decisively admit it, and you will never be like the Eastern civilization that will desperately play jade with you at every turn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The British Empire, whose strategic living space has been repeatedly weakened and compressed, can only continue to abandon the former colonies and strategic points of the British Empire in order to keep the British Isles from being destroyed by the landing of German troops. This strategy is very similar to the strategy adopted by China in the same period of history to resist the Japanese invasion by exchanging space for time and persisting in fighting for a long time.

For any strategist and politician aspiring to unify Europe, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal are the two strategic hubs that Europe must control.

Hitler and Mussolini had always coveted the British-controlled Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, and if it weren't for the fact that the German and Italian navies were no match for the British Royal Navy fleet, the swastika would have been flying over the Gibraltar Fortress and the Suez Canal military district.

Anyone with a bit of strategic vision and political acumen can see that as long as the Donghua Empire takes over the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal from the British government, Germany and Italy, which have basically turned the European continent into the sphere of influence of the Axis powers, will have to break out into war and conflict with the Donghua Empire sooner or later.

Of course, Cheng Gong knew that the bait thrown by Churchill was highly poisonous, but Cheng Gong believed that with the "super digestive system" of the Donghua Empire, it could be completely digested and inviolable.

In addition, from the perspective of the post-war international structure, occupying and controlling the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal was a strategic means for the East China Empire to contain Germany's continued expansion.

Cheng Gong basically foresaw that once Hitler discovered that the East China Empire controlled the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal, the German High Command would certainly immediately readjust the strategic deployment of the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union and mobilize heavy troops on the Mediterranean coast of France and the Italian Peninsula to prevent the East China Army from landing in Europe.

It can be said that the reason why Cheng Gong decided to stir up the situation in the Mediterranean was, in a sense, to force Hitler to change the deployment of the German army on the Eastern Front. As long as Hitler did not continue to make mistakes on the Eastern Front, the chances of the Soviet Union trying to defeat Germany were almost nil.

From the bottom of his heart, Cheng Gong did not want to see Europe after World War II become the self-reserved land of the three old powers of Britain, France, and the United States. It was not in the interests of the East China Empire in the Mediterranean to allow Germany to be defeated and then split into East and West Germany.

Only a Europe full of turbulence and instability is the Europe that Emperor Cheng most wanted to see.

In the past, in order to ensure their interests in China, the European powers continued to support their spokesmen in China, so that the war in the land of China would not be extinguished, and the people would not survive. Therefore, doubling all the war disasters suffered by China in modern times on Europe is the ultimate goal of Cheng Gong's strategy in Africa and the Mediterranean!

It is the so-called feng shui in turns. Cheng Gong believes that the people of Africa, Central and South America, who have been rearmed through modern advanced military theories and weapons assembly, will never tire of turning Europeans from colonizers to colonizers.

Colonizing Europe and liquidating Europe is the biggest secret in Cheng Gong's heart. So far, Cheng Gong has not shared this secret with anyone around him.

Cheng Gong didn't want to, but he didn't dare. Because once this secret is leaked, it will inevitably affect the entire Donghua Empire and become the public enemy of all Europe!

With a total population of less than 50 million, the Donghua Empire, even if it has the most advanced military technology and strength in the world, cannot challenge the entire world on its own. However, this did not prevent Cheng Gong from making unremitting efforts for the goal in his heart.

It didn't matter if the population base of the Donghua Empire was insufficient, and all the countries and peoples in Africa and Central and South America, including Asia, that had been colonized by Europeans, Cheng Gong was convinced that they could be guided to become the vanguard of the liquidation of Europe.

"Your Majesty, Foreign Minister Mr. Wei Jun has asked me to ask the Emperor that Churchill, Stalin and Hoover have arrived in Nairobi, when does the Emperor plan to see them? Where to meet? ”

Shen Shuyi asked cautiously, breaking the thoughts in Cheng Gong's mind.

"The environment on this island in the middle of the lake is good, it's quiet and it's safe."

Cheng Gong looked around at the surrounding lakes and mountains, and said leisurely: "Meeting with the leaders of Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union here can reduce the security pressure on the security department. In this way, Shuyi, you tell Gu Weijun for me that tomorrow at noon, I will invite Churchill, Stalin, and Hoover to come to my villa for lunch. ”

"Yes! Emperor. Shen Shuyi bowed down to receive the order.

"By the way, Shuyi, how is the Pahlavi family doing now?" Cheng Gong seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked Zhengse.

"In accordance with the emperor's decree, the CIA, in the name of the German Military Intelligence Agency, provided Pahlavi with a safe base in the mountains of Basra in the southern Iraqi province as a base camp for the Iranian royal family to form the Restoration Army. This base had previously been a large training camp for the Rock Mercenaries, and all the facilities were very complete, and all the camps were fully utilized, which could accommodate up to 15,000 people for training at the same time. Shen Shuyi replied truthfully.

"Fake show, sometimes you can do it." Cheng Gong groaned for a while, and said slowly: "The Iranian royal family has always been close to the German government, and the German government helped the Iranian royal family to form a restoration army to fight against the Soviet invaders. Hitler was certainly willing to provide the greatest help to the Soviet Union in this kind of thing that could delay the Soviet Union. ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" Shen Shuyi was solemn, and then said:

"German intelligence has not given up on rescuing the Iranian royal family, but their operations have not been successful before. Pahlavi is now fully convinced that our operatives are from the German Brandenburg special forces, and he has also made a request for direct communication with the German government. ”

"I remember that Canaris seems to have always been in contact with the German military and intelligence services." Cheng Gong said indifferently: "This kind of trivial matter, I believe that it should not be difficult for Canaris. Since I have entrusted the safety of the Pahlavi family to the CIA, you tell Canaris to let the CIA do it. I don't look at the process, just the result. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

"I won't delay you, go ahead with you!" Cheng Gong waved his hand lightly and continued to focus on the fishing buoy floating on the surface of the lake.

Shen Shuyi just moved, but then stopped, as if he was fighting some kind of thought in his head, and he stopped talking.

"What's the matter, being so hesitant doesn't look like your Shen Shuyi's style." Cheng Gong said quietly.

"Your Majesty, according to the exact report, Secretary Ye has had close contacts with the Communist Party members who came to Kenya in the past two days." Shen Shuyi gritted his teeth and reported: "In addition, among the personnel of our African garrison, there is a hidden communist spy codenamed 'Blade', from the analysis of the intelligence currently available, this latent communist spy codenamed 'Blade' has a very high status in the garrison!" ”

"Ye Lin has always been a member of the special branch of the Chinese Communist Party before she and her sister recognized her, and your military commanders and the CIA don't know about this." Cheng Gong said disappreciably:

"As long as she doesn't develop members of the Communist Party on our ground, she can associate with whomever she wants. As for who the sleeper spy codenamed Blade is, it depends on your military commander's counter-espionage skills. But I'm sure the blade isn't Ye Lin, and there's no need for you to waste time and energy on her. ”

"Please rest assured, the emperor will definitely dig out this blade as soon as possible!" Shen Shuyi said confidently.

"I suggest that when you grab the blade, it's best not to let Ye Lin hear any rumors." Cheng Gong turned his face to look at Shen Shuyi with a gloating look and said, "Otherwise, she will definitely find trouble for you, and when the time comes, don't blame me for not giving you justice." I have a lot of headaches for this little sister-in-law. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's mention!" Shen Shuyi said confidently: "Weichen promises not to cause trouble for the emperor!" ”
