Franco was by no means a reckless man, and during the Civil War, his policy of warfare was cautious and methodical, never rash, and his troops advanced slowly and steadily, with only a few defeats. In the war, this kind of thinking of his was considered a strategic lack of imagination. However, in political behavior, Franco's steadfastness allowed him to gradually gain a foothold in the special period when the world war began just after the end of the civil war, and he and his Falangist military dictatorship surprisingly won the support of many Spanish.

It's just that the crushing defeat of the multinational forces in the Mediterranean is not so long ago, and the powerful Allied naval fleets are gathered in the Central Mediterranean, eyeing Tunisia and Algeria.

The 11 main aircraft carriers of the Northern Fleet, plus the two aircraft carriers of Italy, nearly 1,000 carrier-based aircraft can strike at major coastal cities such as Barcelona and Valencia in Spain at any time.

Ribbentrop was unable to get Franco into the Allied camp for more than a month in Madrid, but the Spanish dictator had to be seriously considered by the Allied military threat.

Spaniards like to be bullfighters, but they don't want to be bullfighters! No matter how ferocious the bull is, in the end it is all slaughtered by others. In order to hide the eyes and ears of the Entente and prevent the Entente from receiving information in advance, the Imperial Foreign Minister Wilson stayed on Mallorca for three days. On the first day, negotiations were halted on the second day, and on the third day, Franco offered to form a Blue Division from the Lancers to join the Allied attack on Gibraltar.

"During the Civil War, Germany gave fraternal aid to Spain. This time to regain Gibraltar, we cannot let our allies shed their blood for the liberation of Spanish soil, please allow the most loyal and brave Blue Division to charge at the forefront of the liberation of Gibraltar! ”

Watching Franco's high-spirited performance, the well-informed Wilson couldn't stand it. The attitude changed so quickly, and the determination was so emotional, it was almost time to catch up with the Moscow actor.

However, Franco, who was treacherous and slick, was determined to send people, but he did not agree to the Empire's proposal to temporarily lease the port, no matter whether Wilson coaxed and deceived, even scared and threatened, he insisted on not letting go of his mouth on the temporary port.

The Foreign Minister had no choice but to send the results of the negotiations back to Chang'an for His Majesty to decide.

His Majesty read Wilson's telegram and was also a little amused. This Franco is clearly a commodity that does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles. He was afraid that it would be easy to invite the gods and send the gods, and once he agreed to lease the port, if the Han army did not leave, with the strength of the Spanish navy...... Since the defeat of the Armada that dominated the world by Britain, does Spain still have a navy?

If that were the case, Spain would not have returned Gibraltar, but instead set up a seaport, how could Franco's shrewdness agree to this agreement to steal chickens and not to reverse the loss of rice.

His Majesty pondered for a long time, but decided to give Franco a buffer time. Ask the native chick to call back and agree with the outcome of Wilson's negotiations with Franco. That is, Spain changed from a neutral country to a non-belligerent country, and immediately formed a blue division to provide land access for the Allies when the Allies launched an attack on Gibraltar, and entered the war!

In this way, although Franco could claim that he was "not on the same side as the Iron Alliance", leaving a way out for him to continue to swing between the two powers, it also prevented the Entente from taking action against Spain in advance.

With the fighting power of the Spanish army, His Majesty did not think that the matadors would be able to hold out for long if the American army attacked with all their might. At the same time, also because the Allied side was not ready for the battle to capture Gibraltar.

If we want to advance westward, the two large armies of the multinational force in North Africa must be solved first, and it is impossible to leave hidden dangers behind us before attacking the British mainland. What's more, this is not an ordinary small hidden danger, the multinational force Afrika Korps commanded by Eisenhower and the multinational force Mediterranean Corps commanded by Alexander have a combined army of more than 1.5 million, and their strength should not be underestimated.

In the central Libyan province of Jufra, the Afrika Korps, a multinational force commanded by Eisenhower, mainly U.S. forces, was not able to pursue the victory after a resounding victory. Although the African Army of the Grand Alliance commanded by Hans and Shui Mo suffered losses in the Battle of Girashiye, the heroic resistance of General Sujiawei and the 8th Army of Nanyang interrupted Eisenhower's pursuit plan.

The Grand Alliance Army, which held its ground, launched a series of counterattacks after reinforcements arrived. In particular, the 30th Guards Division, with its twin main guns of Mammoth (Apocalypse) heavy tanks, opened the way, and within a few weeks, not only regained all the lost ground, but also pushed the American army all the way out of Jufra Province.

Now that the battlefield of the confrontation between the two armies has been pushed to the Greater Baiegan River area, Marshall once said in disappointment that if Eisenhower could not hold Libya, then the American army would have to start thinking about the withdrawal plan.

"Retreat?"

In the Allied command in Cairo in the Mediterranean theater, Jiang Yunzhi received a telegram from Rommel and Major General Xiao Zhihua, commander of the 3rd Guards Panzer Army.

In view of the close proximity of the U.S. Army to the Mediterranean Corps, which was dominated by the British, the German-Italian Afrika Korps and the 3rd Guards Army advanced too quickly and became a lone army. Once the rear road is cut off by the U.S. mobile force, the troops will be surrounded by multinational forces, so the two generals, Han and German, jointly sent a telegram to the headquarters, requesting that they withdraw to Raygun Port.

"!" Chief Jiang was quite unimpressed, "When did Rommel become a coward?" Could it be that he thought it was the German's style of play? ”

Jiang Yunzhi really guessed correctly about this matter, the Germans have always paid attention to large-scale group operations, not to say that they fight more and fight less, at least they have the advantage in artillery, armor and even air force, so they will come up with the theory that a wide range of intersperses is Guderian's. In this world, it is generally believed that Guderian's armored tactics were learned from Jiang Yunzhi, because it was the guards of the Han Empire who pioneered the large-scale use of armored forces for assault.

Germany's navy was weak, of course, compared to Britain. After the sinking of the High Seas Fleet in World War I, the German Navy lost its original status. The mustache focused on the development of armor, the development of the Air Force. There has not been much interest in aircraft carriers for the Navy, and at the beginning of the war, he believed that it was enough for the German Navy to have submarines, especially after the sinking of the battleship Bismarck.

Therefore, in the minds of German army generals, there is very little concept of multi-arm three-dimensional operations on land, sea and air. The Navy can't count on it, and the Air Force ...... The Luftwaffe was very strong, but it was Göring's territory, and it had to be deployed by the Führer.

But it is different in Dahan, Jiang Yunzhi's chief of general staff is not only the chief of staff of the army, but the full name should be the chief of staff of the three armies of the Han Imperial Army.

In addition to His Majesty, the General Staff is the supreme command body of the Imperial Army. From the day the imperial army was born with the navy and air force, it was accustomed to the mode of joint operations and three-dimensional warfare.

In the middle of more than 1.5 million multinational troops, in Jiang Yunzhi's view, what kind of lone army is going deep? Attacking along the coastline of the Mediterranean, afraid to go deep alone? Do you think it's the British Eighth Army? Fighting against the water, he fell to his death. The current Mediterranean is the Mediterranean of the Allies.

The combined fleet of the Northern Fleet with the Italian and Turkish navies is not yet shirtless in the Mediterranean?

Calling a telecommunications staff officer, Jiang Hei took a big sip of bitter coffee, "Call General Erwin back: Your troops must be staring at Buai Ratazon and must not take a step back." Not only could they not retreat, but they also had to find an opportunity to capture Misrata and threaten Tripoli and the combined forces of the United States and Britain. As for the problem of going deep into the country that you are worried about...... Pure! ”

"Huh?" The recorder in the little staff officer's hand stopped, and he raised his head with a questioning look.

Jiang Yunzhi hehe, "That's it!" ”

Rommel is not an outsider, when he was still the captain of the mustachioed guard, he did not go to Chang'an, and he had a good relationship with Jiang Yunzhi, so he sent Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan to learn from the ancient Han Dynasty. Putting aside the relationship between superiors and subordinates, General Manager Jiang is also willing to joke with this big-nosed buddy.

"Well, I learned this from Your Majesty! The top beam is not right, and the bottom beam is crooked. Looking at the little staff officer's incredible look, Chief Jiang, who has been busy these days, grinned!

"Ah......h Ahh His Majesty in the Weiqing Pavilion sneezed twice in a row, "Milk/milk, who is nagging me behind my back?" ”

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the two sneezes were someone who wanted to invite you to dinner? Yes......! ”

These days the spring rain continues, and the indigenous girls who are moistened by the rain and dew are smiling sweetly while putting on their coats for Your Majesty, but they are not afraid of Your Majesty's sneak attack, and the two treasures that have been gradually developed have fallen into the grasp of Your Majesty's miraculous skills...... Dragon Claw in hand.

On the blushing and charming little face, a pair of big eyes rolled helplessly, this shapeless Your Majesty, has been addicted to playing recently, but this is also what Vivian is most proud of, His Majesty's three imperial concubines are not as good as the indigenous girl in terms of it, although they are not as good as Marilyn's vixen...... "Bah, how can you compare with her!" She's just a play, she can't even enter Weiyang Palace! ”

The indigenous girl didn't know whether it was intentional or really wanted to be engrossed, so she lay on the side of the bookcase in such a charming posture, and of course Her Majesty, who was not disturbed, would not let go of this great opportunity, and the claws of Lushan were mighty and played a game of plasticine.

There was a sudden knock on the door, as if the indigenous girl who had suddenly woken up was furious, not only immediately got up and hugged a pair of jade arms to her chest, but also turned several sanitary eyes and gave them to His Majesty.

His Majesty laughed and shouted in good spirits, "Come in!" ”

As expected, it was the spy leader who pushed the door in. Your Majesty's office is not something anyone can knock on the door if they want to. If you want to get close to Your Majesty's office, except for the military commission bigwigs and a limited number of people, everyone else has to go through several checkpoints. The feather guards with emu fur on their helmets and red shirts and white pants in royal military uniforms, but whether you are a general or a cabinet minister, if you fail to pass the inspection, you want to take a step closer to His Majesty's office.

Of course, Director Mu is not among them. In fact, those who can freely enter and exit the Weiqing Pavilion, except for the military commission bosses, most of the others are also officers who were born as red police soldiers. Either it's people close to His Majesty like Hennie and Vivian.

The female secretary's cold eyes were opposite, and there was no reaction on Director Mu's dead face, which was basically a state of ignorance.

Mu Yu knew that since this indigenous girl knew that she had introduced Monroe to His Majesty, she had been quite hostile to herself. Just ignore him, anyway, as long as he doesn't speak, no one in the entire empire can do anything to Director Mu.

Without waiting for His Majesty to ask, Director Mu took the initiative to say "hehe" twice, "That...... Your Majesty, you said yesterday that you would go to my house for dinner today, and I have already instructed Garbo to prepare your favorite seafood hot pot......"

"Oh!" His Majesty slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about it!" Vivien, why don't we go get some food together? ”

The female secretary held the folder and didn't move, and the meaning reflected in her big sparkling eyes was clear: act, you two continue to act! Obviously I'm going out to meet that vixen, but I have to make up a paragraph!
