"General Cecilio, the Chinese are landing, their shelling has stopped, your men hurry up and take control of the city of Gibraltar!" Let's evacuate immediately! "Roslyn. After Lieutenant General Wells saw the Spanish Army entering Gibraltar, he immediately wanted to evacuate as if he had seen a life-saving straw! Now that Gibraltar has become a hot potato, he wishes to give up here and flee as far as possible!

"Yes, General Wells! Leave Gibraltar to us! We will not let the Chinese occupy here! Major General Cecilio, commander of the 12th Infantry Division of the Siberian Army, said firmly! He looked at Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells's eyes were filled with a hint of contemptuous disdain, the former British Empire had indeed declined, and a dignified lieutenant general was actually scared like a lost dog, which made him very disdainful!

"Okay, General Cecilio, then we'll evacuate immediately!" Roslyn. Lieutenant General Wells didn't have time to pay attention to what Major General Cecilio thought of him, he just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, and escape back to England as soon as possible! The Spaniards thought they had taken advantage of it, and then they knew that they had fallen into the pit that England and Germany had dug for them. With the temper of the Chinese, it is very likely that they will not recognize that these Spaniards have recovered Gibraltar, and then the Chinese will definitely beat these Spaniards! It's just that this qiē has nothing to do with Britain anymore!

The British Army and Navy who remained in Gibraltar and the expatriates living here were also ready for a long time. As soon as the order of Lieutenant General Wells was given, they abandoned the city of Gibraltar. Xiang was evacuated. And the Spanish Army took over the defense of the city of Gibraltar! In the opinion of Major General Cecilio. This time Spain has already won. They were finally able to reclaim this territory that had been occupied by the British for more than two hundred years! And he, as the general who led the army to regain Gibraltar, would certainly have become a hero to Spain. This feeling made Major General Ceciglio very intoxicated!

The 1st Battalion of the 81st Marine Regiment of the Chinese Marine Corps, having routed the defenses of a battalion of British Marines on the beach, did not immediately attack the city of Gibraltar, but began to build a solid beachhead. At the same time, the follow-up units of the 81st Regiment also began to land one after another. Although the city of Gibraltar had been destroyed by the naval guns of the Chinese Navy, there was still a regiment of the British Army here. If you attack rashly, you will definitely pay a certain price. It would undoubtedly be safer to wait until the large force has come ashore before attacking!

However, the Chinese Navy did not expect that just because of such a delay, it would make people pick up the cheap! So much so that a war between China and Spain ensued. Of course, for a weak country like Spain, China doesn't care at all!

At 10:25 a.m. on May 14, the British flag was lowered from the city of Gibraltar, and the red and yellow flag of Spain was raised in the city of Gibraltar. This meant that Spain had officially recovered Gibraltar. The Spanish army has taken over here!

"Commander, look there! How did the Spanish flag rise in the city of Gibraltar? The commander of the 81st Regiment of the Chinese Marine Corps pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind on the city of Gibraltar and said to Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao, commander of the 8th Marine Division!

"Huh? What's going on? Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao was also taken aback. Hurriedly picked up the binoculars, and in between, the flag raised in the city of Gibraltar was indeed the flag of Spain. But isn't this a colony of the British? How did you get involved with the Spaniards again!

At this time, the officers and men of the 8th Marine Division were landing, and the 81st Regiment had all landed and was preparing to launch an attack on the city of Gibraltar, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen!

"Division commander, are we going to attack again?" The commander of the 81st regiment asked!

"The attack is delayed, report our situation here to Admiral Li Haitao, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet! Ask for his instructions! Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao hesitated for a moment, and then said. He knew that if the Spaniards did get involved, it would be complicated. Even Admiral Li Haitao can't make a decision, and he has to ask the country!

When receiving a telegram from Vice Admiral Tang Hongtao, Admiral Li Haitao also discovered the strangeness of the city of Gibraltar on the battleship 'Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty'. It's just that it's too far away to know exactly what's going on.

"Commander, the city of Gibraltar raised the Spanish flag. General Tang Hongtao asked for instructions on the next move, whether to launch an attack on the city of Gibraltar according to the predetermined plan? Vice Admiral Wu Zhiyuan, chief of staff of the Indian Ocean Fleet, asked.

Admiral Li Haitao's face was a little ugly, and the attack on Gibraltar was the first of the three operational plans drawn up by the Chinese Navy this time, but he did not expect that there would be a problem with the first plan. He couldn't understand why the Spaniards intervened when the Chinese Marines were about to capture Gibraltar. Could it be that this was a conspiracy by the British to lure the Spaniards to Gibraltar so that China and Spain could fight? And what did those Spaniards think, didn't they know that they were being used? Or do they think they can resist China's wrath and not be afraid of China?

At this time, on the beach on the east side of the Bay of Algerasis, there was a new change. A troop of troops waving white flags walked out of the city of Gibraltar. There were only a dozen or so people in this team, and the leader was a brigadier general officer!

Soon, the army appeared in front of the position of the 8th Regiment of the 81st Division of the Chinese Marine Corps, and the brigadier officer looked arrogant and drove with his nostrils facing the sky. After arriving at the front of the position, he said directly in English: "Listen, I am Brigadier General Casimiro, chief of staff of the 12th Infantry Division of the Spanish Army. The Kingdom of Spain has regained Gibraltar, and now it is the territory of our Kingdom of Spain! You have invaded the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, please withdraw from the territory of the Kingdom of Spain immediately, otherwise, it will be regarded as a provocation to the Kingdom of Spain, and the consequences will be borne by you! ”

"I don't know when this became the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, I only know that this is a British colony, a place controlled by our enemy! We're here to fight the British! Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao, commander of the 8th Division of the Chinese Marine Corps, came to the front of the position, and after listening to the words of the Spanish brigadier general, he immediately retorted!

"This has always been our Spanish territory, but it was stolen by the British! Now the British have returned this place to us! Please leave the territory of the Kingdom of Spain at once! Give you an hour of your time! Brigadier General Casimiro said toughly!

"Humph! What if we don't leave? The commander of the 81st regiment said with some atmosphere!

"If you do not leave, it will mean a provocation against the Kingdom of Spain, that means that war will come, and you will bear the wrath of the Kingdom of Spain!" Brigadier General Casimiro roared! He kindly persuaded these Chinese to leave, but these Chinese did not know how to lift, which made him very angry! Do these Chinese really want to take Gibraltar from the Kingdom of Spain? It's absolutely impossible! The Kingdom of Spain has managed to recover Gibraltar and will never lose it again! Even if the enemy is Chinese! Brigadier General Casimiro thought secretly in his heart!

"Haha! Is this a threat of war against us? Joke, will I, the Chinese Empire, be afraid of you as a declining country? Sue sù you, Brigadier General! Spain is no longer the world hegemon of a few hundred years ago, and you can only be regarded as a second-rate country in the whole of Europe, let alone the whole world! More than ten years ago, we were able to defeat you lightly and snatch the Philippines over! Now? The same is true! Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao said disdainfully. He was also stimulated by the arrogance of Brigadier General Casimiro, could it be that these Spaniards were caught in the door? Dare to pull out your teeth, you just don't know whether you are alive or dead!

"Bastard! You damn yellow-skinned monkeys, Spain just put its main force in the Americas, otherwise, do you think you have a chance to occupy the Philippines? Hearing Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao talk about the Philippines, Brigadier General Casimiro immediately screamed like a cat that had been stepped on its tail. It's just that the insulting words in his words made the faces of Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao and others very ugly!

"You shit, if you scold again, Lao Tzu will kill you!" The commander of the hot-tempered 81st Regiment immediately took out his pistol and aimed it at Brigadier General Casimiro's head, which had the posture of killing Brigadier General Casimiro with a big shot!

The guards brought by Brigadier General Casimiro hurriedly aimed their rifles at Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao and others. However, in the next second, they were targeted by hundreds of rifles and light and heavy machine guns!

Cold sweat began to break out on Brigadier General Casimiro's forehead, and he knew that if they were not handled well, they would definitely be beaten into a sieve by these cruel Chinese. At this moment, he couldn't help but regret a little, why was he so impulsive just now!

"What do you want to do? We are the emissaries of Spain, and you cannot kill us! Brigadier General Casimiro said, but his voice trembled a little, expressing the fear in his heart.

"Apologize to us and get out right away! Otherwise, you're doomed! Lieutenant General Tang Hongtao said coldly!

Brigadier General Casimiro hesitated, but finally compromised: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for being reckless!" After apologizing, Brigadier General Casimiro immediately fled back to Gibraltar with the rest of his staff. (To be continued......)
