Chapter 313: Civil Strife in England
Assisting the Chairman in establishing a state in Madagascar is also part of the "Ripping the Ground" plan.
The convoy departing from Taiwan sailed to Nanyang and was warmly welcomed by Qian Zhihao, the governor of Nanyang. In view of the shortage of ships in the transport fleet, the materials donated by the Nanyang countries to the moving fleet were all provided by the Nanyang Governor's Office.
When the combined fleet left Jakarta and set off again, it was joined by a number of transport ships from various countries in the South Seas. The materials on the ship are all living and construction materials that are urgently needed after landing in the new home.
In a telegram sent to the chairman of the NPC National Committee, Admiral Chen Shaokuan, commander-in-chief of the joint transport fleet, said: There are confidants in the sea, and the ends of the world are like neighbors. Never before has he been so proud of his Han Chinese ancestry. I believe that even if we live far away in Africa, we will not be alone.
After reading the telegram sent by the transport fleet sent by the crown prince, the chairman of the committee in Taichung walked to the balcony of the official residence, looked at the southwest and was silent, and after a long time, Fang sighed lightly, "When it comes to the heroes of the world, only the Han Emperor, I and Runzhi are not half as good as half of it!" β
"Father, why do you say that! I want you to ......"
"Jingguo, your vision is still too short-sighted. Ay! I don't blame you, who in this world can have the vision of the Han Emperor? β
......, the prince was speechless, after the defeat of the mainland, the old man often sighed, but he had never sighed like today. In his opinion, although it is thousands of miles away, after all, there is hope for the restoration of the country, what is the sigh of this?
"Stupid, in terms of age, how many years older are you than Emperor Han, right? But what people think about is the great cause of the nation, and the prosperity of Hanzhong. As for you, don't say that you can't even protect the world. Hum! β
Although he didn't dare to talk back, the prince's aggrieved ...... was a bit too unreasonable, right? How old am I older than Han Huang? Old man, you are so much older than the Han Emperor, do you dare to compare with the Han Emperor? How much does the defeat of the mainland have to do with me?
β¦β¦
The world is fair, and everyone will have their own troubles, even if he is a god in the eyes of outsiders.
"What? She actually refused to come to Nanhua to work? β
In the Wei Qing Pavilion, there was a sudden roar, and His Majesty, who was staring wide-eyed, was a little incredible. The well-paid "South China Daily" took the initiative to poach a reporter from "Xinhua Daily", but was actually refused. No one will believe it, how many people can't get in after sharpening their heads!
Unlike the Great Migration Period, it is not so easy to get a gold card that symbolizes the nationality of the Han Dynasty now, even if you are Chinese.
I didn't expect this little girl to have a lot of personality! "Forget it, since she doesn't want to come to Nanhua, we won't be reluctant. As the old saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet. β
After hanging up Mu Yu's phone, His Majesty took out a hand-embroidered red plum handkerchief, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "Nima, it's all sweat!" β
Throwing it into the drawer, His Majesty grinned bitterly and shook his head, and said to himself: "Donor, you are too good-looking!" β
Although I am very interested in that beautiful female reporter, His Majesty is not a master who likes to kill hands, and this matter has to be paid attention to your love and my wishes. "Our ideal is to be a faint king, but when the war is not over, let's focus on national affairs!"
After a short rest at the Xitai base, the combined transport fleet under the command of Chen Shaokuan, a first-class general of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, finally completed its journey across the Indian Ocean and arrived at the renamed port of Zhongshan. And successfully unloaded the first batch of construction workers, municipal planners and other personnel responsible for the construction of new homes, as well as a large number of various materials, and of course, several national/military units.
The 1st Royal Marine Division has handed over to them the positions in the port and the city, and what happens to this island next is none of the business of the Han army.
Kan Aiguo and his Marines boarded and left the next day, and they were to rush to the Mediterranean theater, where more important tasks awaited them.
Operation Big-Eared Fox in North Africa is going well. Rommel and Sun Liren were flanked from both sides, and within two weeks they had broken through the lines of the British Commonwealth forces in Tripoli. After the Canadian army made contact with the Allies alone to prepare for surrender, Rommel released the news that South Africa had been occupied by the Allies, which led to riots among the South African soldiers.
The British forcefully suppressed the rebellion, but the integrity of the defensive line had been disrupted, and the armored group of the German-Italian Afrika Korps was the first to break through, placing the city of Tripoli under the guns of the tanks.
A day later, the newly formed 27th Division of the Western Front also broke through the British line and attacked the city. In the street fighting, the British also held out for only three days, and this time the protagonist of the glory became the Italians.
Jiang Yunzhi laughed that this was a battle in which the Italian army turned over, and the Italian 100th Panzer Division, also equipped with Siberian Tiger medium tanks, was the first to attack the British headquarters in Tripoli and captured most of the British commanders in Libya.
The capture of Tripoli shattered Eisenhower's last illusions. Now he began to think not about how to defeat the African Front of his allies on the opposite side, but how to bring his nearly a million multinational troops back to Morocco. As for Algeria? Can the British, with their incessant civil strife, hold back the Allied forces on the offensive?
Admiral Alexander, commander of the Allied Mediterranean Front, the general who was bent on wrestling with Eisenhower and regaining face for the British Army is going crazy!
"What the hell is this? The commander of half of the 300,000 British troops in Algeria declared his loyalty to the royal family and obeyed the royal family's order that 'Britain should immediately withdraw from the war and start negotiations with the allies'! β
On British soil, armies loyal to the Crown, including the 11th Panzer Division and the Royal Highland Flint Muskets, have marched into London, and these units, which have been renamed the Royal Army by George VI, are guarding around Buckingham Palace to confront government forces loyal to Parliament. Although the two sides have not misfired, the situation is already quite serious.
The conflict between Parliament and the Crown was that the King believed that Britain had lost the war, and that Britain should immediately withdraw from the war and seek negotiations with the allies, rather than lead the war to Britain itself.
And the cabinet and Congress headed by Churchill insisted on continuing the war, and the United States is increasing its investment in the war, "We have not lost yet, we still have the Strait of Gibraltar, and no Allied forces can threaten the homeland." Even if we had, we would be able to defeat all the enemies that came to us, as we did with the Luftwaffe. β
Churchill's speech to Parliament is still brilliant and inspiring. But the MPs were clearly divided into two factions, one clapping and shouting frantically, eager to raise their feet in support of the prime minister. But the other faction, which was slightly smaller, sneered and looked at the fat man Qiu who was still hoarsely waving his fists on the podium with an idiotic look.
"Haven't lost yet? The empire can only rely on the fortress of Gibraltar to maintain the last fig leaf, what if this fig leaf is also torn off? The noble councillors were all looking forward to the expression of the fat man at that time.
Thinking of the king's assurance, they all believe that it will not be long before this expectation can become a reality, and it must be wonderful.
It's not that the aristocracy is unpatriotic, they also hope that the British can win the war, just as at the beginning of the war, when the Luftwaffe invaded on a large scale, they also did not hesitate to support the military, and even did not hesitate to donate money and materials. However, when anyone with a discerning eye can see that the balance of war has been greatly tilted in favor of the Iron Alliance, and Britain, which has lost most of its colonies, is it still going to be a pawn of the United States?
What's more, the British king has reached an agreement with the Han emperor that after withdrawing from the war, Britain will return to the era of supreme royal power, which means that these old nobles can also get back the territory and other assets inherited by their families.
It's just that if these aristocratic councilors could know about the conversation between Emperor Han and Director Mu, what would they think? Will you personally join the army to find the Han Emperor to fight hard?
In Cairo, Marshal Jiang Yunzhi's eyes were no longer fixed on Algeria, and even Eisenhower, who was still slowly moving west in Libya, did not pay too much attention.
Under the encirclement and interception of Hans, Shui Mo, Rommel, Mu Xingchen and other armies, the situation of the US military became increasingly difficult. And even if Eisenhower were able to bring this multinational force to Morocco, so what?
It's bullish, but it's true. After the 30 Dongfeng-class AIP submarines under the command of Senior Colonel Lin Jie made a detour to the Cape of Good Hope into the Atlantic Ocean and settled in the Gulf of Guinea, the Atlantic route between Europe and the United States once again became a journey of death. The sinking of more than a million tons of ships in a month made DΓΆnitz, the commander of the German Navy and an expert in submarine warfare, sweat.
Nima, if you continue to fight like this, the United States will not be able to sail across the Atlantic Ocean at all if you fight for a year.
The Dongfeng-class AIP submarine is invincible in the Atlantic. The underwater speed of the Dongfeng class can exceed the surface speed, making it possible for the submarine to sail with diesel engines at periscope depth. The self-sustaining power of the Dongfeng class can reach 57 days, and the time for independent combat is almost two months.
Coupled with the ultra-quiet underwater low-speed navigation technology, the tactics that the Allied Navy explored when dealing with German U submarines did not work when it came to the Dongfeng class.
This month, no more than 20 U.S. transport ships were able to safely reach Morocco, and the U.S. military was able to receive less than 30 percent of the total supplies.
Therefore, Jiang Yunzhi dared to arrogantly say that even if Eisenhower could withdraw to Morocco, so what?
It's just that the priority now is not to deal with the American army, but the last fig leaf on the British. As long as the Strait of Gibraltar can be controlled, the Northern Fleet will have access to the Atlantic. In Marshal Chiang's view, the capture of Gibraltar was equivalent to the end of the European war.
I really admired His Majesty's strategy, and I was still thinking that even if I captured Gibraltar, there would be a hard battle when I landed in the UK, but I didn't expect that the guys from the Military Intelligence Bureau and National Security would make a fuss, and they would really toss London to the bottom.
The royal army loyal to the British crown and the government army loyal to Parliament are almost blinded by the fact that they are facing each other across the street outside Westminster...... What, "Your Majesty is tall, really tall!" β
The staff officers on the side suddenly found that Marshal Jiang's thumb was suddenly up again.
