De Gaulle, who had been stranded in Algeria in North Africa, unexpectedly received an invitation from Marshal Wang Yizhe, the commander of the Han army in Africa, and a military transport plane of the Royal Air Force took him to Egypt.

In Saladin's castle on Mount Muttagam on the eastern outskirts of Cairo, de Gaulle was even more surprised to meet the Han Emperor and, of course, Colonel Tan Yaning, the full-time secretary of the Supreme Commander, who accompanied His Majesty.

In the inner city of the majestic Saladin Castle, the Han Emperor led several bigwigs and important figures in the imperial army to meet with de Gaulle in secret for as long as a week.

Marshal Ye Weixun, Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army, inquired in detail about the French Resistance Restoration Movement, but de Gaulle's answer was not satisfactory, and even less detailed than the intelligence of the Imperial MI6.

Zhong Yi was a little disappointed, the appearance of De Gaulle after he took charge of the French power in the previous life was very different from the current decadent de Gaulle. Perhaps the hope of recovering the country was getting slimmer, and Yan zhòng had deterred the Gallic general's fighting spirit.

But for the Empire, there is no better option. Foster another red regime? That is not at all in the interests of the Empire. The Han Empire was not the United States, which was resolutely anti-communist, nor was it the Soviet Union, which was bent on expanding its red territory.

The attitude of the Empire towards Manxism has always been neither for nor against. Even within the Grand Alliance, there are several countries that have joined the social justice system, and many times, what kind of political system is not irreconcilable with the Zhongxing road of the empire and the dream of a great power.

Under German rule, there were many resistance groups of all kinds. But the only one that has been more influential and recognized by other countries is the Free France led by Charles de Gaulle.

In addition, in his previous life, de Gaulle was the first among Western countries to establish diplomatic relations with Xinhua, rejected the strong guardianship of the United States, and withdrew from "NATO", which still won Zhong Yi's appreciation. In other words, among those politicians in the West, de Gaulle is also the one Zhong Yi admires. The influence of "Charles de Gaulle" and the proposal of the "Greater European System" can be said to be the initial embryonic concept of the European Union.

And, of course, his book, "The Making of a Professional Army," which "allowed the Germans to win the war in fifteen francs," and the famous line, "France is not called France unless it is at the forefront; France is not called France if it is not great. ”

Presumably, de Gaulle, in his current state of decadence, would never have been able to utter such bold words. Zhong Yi sighed a little, but he didn't make it difficult for him anymore, it was immoral to let a big man with a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimeters, and a man who aspired to be a great man, sit by the fireplace like that.

"Charles, in Valletta and in London, I promised you that the Han Empire would definitely help the French people to restore the just cause of the country, but looking at your current appearance, I feel that you have insulted me!"

In order to be able to wear Gaulle more normally, Zhong Yi first made a small joke.

"How is it possible, no matter what, I still respect your majesty very much, after all, you and your empire have already given me ...... What the? Your Majesty, do you mean ......" de Gaulle's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and his body straightened.

Damn, it's good to be big! Jordan is just that tall!

De Gaulle's excitement made Zhong Yi have to look at him with his head suppressed. But the French quickly realized this and deliberately took a step back to make it easier for both sides to look on the same level.

This small action made Zhong Yi even more convinced that his choice was not wrong.

"Charles, despair and hatred have blinded you. Didn't you notice that today this meeting was attended by the two commanders of the Empire's overseas garrisons?

Wang Yizhe nodded with a smile, and Yu Xuezhong followed the example of Charles de Gaulle, making a shrug of shoulders and pouting in a way that Westerners are accustomed to, in protest against him for ignoring his own existence.

We have seen it many times, especially this time when His Majesty and Ye Shuai visited Cairo in person to adjust the deployment of imperial military forces around the Mediterranean Sea in response to the second Mediterranean crisis brought about by Germany's successful test of the atomic bomb.

As the commander of the Middle East garrison, Yu Xuezhong knew very well that he would inevitably deal with the leader of the "Free France" in the future. Moreover, after the incident of "returning to his hometown Little Red Flag", compared with other generals of the former Northeast Army, Yu Xuezhong, who had relatively faded out, was appointed by His Majesty to lead the Middle East Command of the Imperial Army, and there were still many people in the Han Army who were not convinced. You must know that the other one who is also the two overseas commanders is the imperial marshal Wang Yizhe. Although Yu Xuezhong and Wang Yizhe have almost the same background, whether it was before the Northeast Army immigrated to South China or after officially joining the Imperial Army, Wang Yizhe's prestige in the army was by no means comparable to Yu Xuezhong. Commander Yu desperately hoped that he could contribute to the empire, so that His Majesty's trust in him was well deserved.

It's not about power, it's about anything else, it's just that the honor of a soldier is, of course, to be earned on the battlefield. Yu Xuezhong wanted to use his military exploits to make himself more hardened among his colleagues in the army, at least among the old brothers of the Northeast Army, when they drank together, they could have a louder voice.

You can't let Wang Tiehan, a rising star, run in front of him, right?

As soon as the Royal Air Force's "Dragon" strategic bombers were stationed at the military airfield in Milan, an important city in northern Italy, Mustache began to deploy more interceptor forces on the northern side of the Alps. He also threatened that if the Han army did not withdraw the "Qiulong" stealth strategic bombers in Milan, Germany would take severe retaliatory actions.

"No one can put a bayonet against the Germans, not even the Han Kingdom! The heroic and invincible Germans had the confidence and ability to respond most forcefully to any enemy who dared to provoke German dignity. ”

The German Führer was as arrogant as ever.

Of course, the Germans, who considered themselves the hegemons of Europe, were quick to show their resolve with their actions. The V-5 ballistic missile, which has a range of more than 800 kilometers, was deployed in the Amiens and Amsterdam areas, which of course were aimed at the two major alliance countries of England and Scotland.

At the same time, mobile launchers of short- and medium-range V-5 ballistic missiles, which claim to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads, have also been deployed in large numbers in France's central plateau region, targeting Italy and Spain, two other important European countries in the Grand Alliance.

Such a situation has shrouded the people of both the Europa League countries led by Germany and several large coalition countries in fear. Some people call the confrontation caused by Germany's atomic bomb test a European nuclear crisis, while others call it a second Mediterranean crisis.

At the beginning of the war, after the Allies swept away the power of the Allied multinational forces in the Mediterranean, the sky over the Mediterranean was once again covered with the clouds of war. And this, less than a year before the armistice in North America.

It was against this background that de Gaulle was invited to Saladin's castle. However, not only de Gaulle, but also no one would have thought that the Han Emperor would have decided to take action against Germany in the face of the possibility of a nuclear war.

What prompted Zhong Yi to make up his mind was, of course, not the fierce words of the big tiger girl. Rather, this time the MIA report was quite good, and MI6 intelligence finally confirmed that Germany had only built a few atomic bombs, and that it had no ability to miniaturize nuclear bombs to be loaded on missiles. This means that a German nuclear strike can only be delivered by the most primitive aircraft, and those V-5 missiles, which in terms of technical indicators, can indeed carry nuclear warheads, are just a scare.

Of course, the destructive power of the V-5 with an ordinary warhead is still not to be underestimated, and with the Empire's existing missile interception technology, it is impossible to intercept it all. It's just that the V-5 without a nuclear warhead is not a toothless tiger, even if the German army can use mobile launchers to attack Italy and Spain, and even the island of Great Britain, that kind of loss is bearable in Zhong Yi's view.

Even, compared with the long-term nuclear deterrence of Germany, even Mussolini and Franco resolutely chose "the long pain is better than the short pain", when Germany's nuclear forces are not enough to form a devastating strike, it is undoubtedly the most correct choice to solve this huge threat once and for all.

After de Gaulle's departure, Saladin's castle welcomed several guests.

King George VI of England, Mussolini, the head of Italy, Franco, the head of Spain, and His Royal Highness Haman, the crown prince of Judah, secretly settled in Saladin's castle.

The castle was built in the 11th century to resist the Crusader invasion. Ironically, it would have become a base for the heads of state of the Crusader states to gather and conspire against another country in Europe.

Convincing the heads of state of the three European countries to agree to strike at Germany did not waste much of Zhongyi's strength. Moreover, in this attack, the three countries only provided airfields and other ground support for the attack. The operation will be carried out jointly by the Imperial Royal Air Force and the Red Shield Royal Air Force.

Of course, the armies of the three European countries must also be prepared for possible German retaliation.

"It's worth it!" After the division of Britain, George VI, who returned to power, appeared responsible, "Countries without nuclear capabilities are not great powers, and hostile countries with nuclear capabilities are worth the price we pay to destroy them." ”

Zhong Yi: ......

Damn, this is obviously De Gaulle's line after he was elected president of France for the second time and established the French Fifth Republic, and he was actually summarized by King Yuuma first. "The times create heroes", the words summed up by the ancestors are really incisive.

In order to avoid alarming the Germans, the heads of state of the three European countries left Saladin's Castle after agreeing to provide any needed support to the Royal Air Force and the Red Shield Air Force. Next, how to attack, how to destroy, that's the matter of the Han Queen!

Don't look at what George said glamorously, Mussolini and Franco promised happily, these goods were on the plane back to China, secretly thinking about what kind of retaliation might be taken by Germany after the action.

"We must do our best to possess an atomic bomb and possess nuclear countermeasures," is the common aspiration of the three heads of state.
