On October 20, 1941, the Iron and Steel Alliance, Han and Germany, tacitly suspended military operations on both the eastern and western fronts. Germany, because of its grossly underestimating the strength of the Soviet Union, did not achieve the expected results within three months of the start of the attack. Only the Southern Cluster under the command of Rundstedt captured Kyiv, and the Northern Cluster fought fiercely with hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops in Leningrad for a month and had to retreat due to the lack of winter war supplies.

The Soviet Red Army won the first Battle of Leningrad, which kept both flanks of Moscow from being completely exposed to the threat of German tank artillery from Panzer Corps.

The center/central cluster responsible for the attack on Moscow was in a dilemma of being unable to attack after Hitler ordered the transfer of Guderian's 2nd Panzer Corps to support the Kiev campaign. Especially after Stalin mobilized a large number of supplementary troops into the Moscow battlefield, he was beaten and retreated. The 600,000 Red Army under the command of Zhukov concentrated a large number of T-3434 tanks and defeated Herman in Smolensk? Hult commanded the German 3rd Panzer Corps, and the Germans found that the German iron cavalry, which had been invincible in the European theater before, could not find a tank that could compete with the T-34. The sudden appearance of a large number of Soviet T-34 tanks left the German panzers at a loss, in the words of Lieutenant General Hoth: no solution!

Fortunately, the Soviet Union's radio communication technology is still relatively backward, and the T-34 is not all equipped with inter-vehicle radio communication equipment, generally only one command tank in several T-34s has radio equipment, and the communication between tanks still relies on flag language, and the ability to coordinate operations is poor. When the formation is marching and fighting, it is difficult to give full play to the excellent performance of the tank, especially when encountering unexpected situations, the adaptability is poor.

Therefore, on the battlefield, it is not uncommon for the German No. 3 tank, which is not very good, to destroy the T-34 on the side by using the tacit cooperation and correct tactics of its companions.

This saved a lot of face for the German armored forces, but the "T-34 crisis" was not something that could be compensated for by the excellent individual quality of the German armored forces, and after entering October, the number of tanks destroyed by the T-34 in the 3rd Panzer Corps of the Central Cluster reached 2,400. Smolensk also only relied on the superiority of the Luftwaffe to barely hold the front and not collapse.

After the rage, the mustache will be in the center of the cluster of von? Field Marshal Bock was replaced, and Field Marshal Kluger, who had attacked the French army on the Western Front, was sent to Minsk.

However, the problem of the "T-34 tank crisis" still had to be solved, and for this reason, the German No. 3 tank was modified with a long-barreled 50-mm gun, and the No. 4 tank was modified with a long-barreled 75-mm gun, and at the same time, both were greatly strengthened, which could barely fight the T-34/76.

The mustache ordered to start the development of the No. 5 "Panther" and No. 6 "King Tiger" tanks, which had to surpass the T-34 in terms of performance. In order to face the fierce counterattack of the Soviet Red Army imaginable in winter, Marshal Kluger's central cluster had to get a batch of tanks that could compete with the T-34 as soon as possible. Of course, in Germany's current international form, the Führer inevitably thought of the only correct and most reliable ally in German history, the Han Empire. According to the intelligence of the German Officers' Observation Group, the Tiger tanks of the armored division of the Han Royal Guards easily defeated the T34/76 in Siberia.

If you have difficulties, find the Han Emperor!

Although he doesn't want to admit it, in Adolf's heart, this is undoubtedly the most convenient way to solve the difficulty. If before, the Führer had somewhat despised the too young Han Emperor, then after the Han Emperor solved the Japanese problem in a staggering manner and speed, showing the maturity of his political methods that were extremely disproportionate to his age, Adolf had already put away his contempt, and even ...... The ambitious Führer had already seen the Han as the most formidable rival for the Germanic dominance of the world.

"Thankfully, he's our ally!"

This is what Adolf said to Goering after the capture of Hawaii by the Royal Navy.

In Africa, Siberia, and the Pacific, three battlefields were launched at the same time, and all of them were aggressive offensives, and the mustache, who had always regarded himself as a madman, was willing to bow to the wind and marvel at the great military strength of the Great Han.

Previously, Adolf had always believed that the Han navy and air force were stronger, and if it was about the army, it would have to be the first in the world in Great Germany, but it was not until after the counterattack of the Smolensk Red Army that the proud Führer had to admit that in terms of army, the Han Empire was not weaker than Germany.

The introduction of the Tiger tank of the Han Kingdom to deal with the "T-34 crisis" became the first choice of the German Army. Once again, the mustache sent his own foreign minister.

Before boarding the plane, Ribbentrop joked with the head of state who had made an exception to see him off: This year, half of my time has been abroad, and most of them have been in Chang'an, and I am about to become the German and Italian envoy to Han!

Reich Foreign Minister Wilson was happier with Ribbinlov's arrival, and tomorrow's press conference will certainly be even more exciting with the German Foreign Minister in attendance.

November 2, 1941, the Han Empire, the capital of Chang'an, the Imperial Diplomatic Building, Baihu District...... in front of the square.

The staff was debugging the microphone because there were so many journalists attending the press conference that the venue had to be moved to Diplomatic Square.

The theme of this conference is "For the development of the world, for the peace of the earth." ”

It's quite an attractive gimmick, especially in these war-torn times, especially since the country that raised the theme is still the protagonist of a world war.

True, in the eyes of most countries, the fascist Han State was the main creator of the war. Germany is also very arrogant, but after all, people only claim hegemony in Europe, but if you look at Han, where else has it not been involved? There is no need to mention Asia and Africa, even the Americas are about to start landing, and the Pacific Ocean can't stop the Han Kingdom, and a reporter once joked: Where is the limit of the Han Emperor? Outer space?

Now, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Han State actually wants to mention "world development, peace on earth", go, go and listen to what the "Chang'an actor" has to say!

Most of the people who spoke in this tone were British journalists, because the Han and British had not declared war, and they were able to stay in South China.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the press conference began, and the joint appearance of Wilson and Ribbentrop was enough to make the British reporters in the field stunned, and the personable German foreign minister won the applause of most local reporters.

"For development, for peace!" Wilson's first words caused a lot of boos, and the British foreign secretary smiled helplessly, and the British journalists who had the same physical characteristics as him were heckled in. However, the foreign secretary was obviously not the psychological quality of the governor of Western Australia, and the diplomatic demeanor of a pampered and unfazed diplomat continued: "On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Han, I would like to officially declare: From this moment on, the Han Empire and the Kingdom of Great Britain and their overseas territories have officially entered a state of war!" ”

"Huh?"

If some raindrops can fall in the sky at this moment, I believe it will be difficult to fall to the ground, and there are so many large mouths in the Diplomatic Square to catch them.

The Han Empire has already fought on two fronts with the Soviet Union and the United States at the same time, and it will declare war on the empire on which the sun never sets? But before the reporters could react, the German Foreign Minister walked in front of the microphone again: "On behalf of the German Führer, I would like to officially announce: From this moment on, the Third Reich of Germany and the United States of America have officially entered a state of war!" ”

"Madman, this wicked madman!" Churchill in the Prime Minister's Office, No. 10 Downing Street, London, slammed the diplomatic declaration of war note of the Han Empire to the ground.

"What should happen, it will happen! Hull, declare war on Germany! "The lame man in the White House is still an unfathomable picture, with Roosevelt's Taoism, even if he is not president, he will definitely achieve great success if he goes to Maoshan in China to practice.

Soon, the press conference on the Chang'an Diplomatic Square triggered a frenzy of declaration of war, whether it was the Steel Alliance or the Triple Entente, the countries within the two forces, no matter how big or small, would add a series of names of the countries of the other side to the declaration of war.

Only the diplomats of the Kingdom of New Caledonia, an island nation in the South Pacific, who had just joined the Iron Alliance, were smarter, and their declaration of war was quite succinct: declare war on all the hostile nations of the Iron Alliance!

This clever won the admiration of His Majesty, and he was happy to increase the financial autonomy of the Kingdom of New Caledonia by 10 percent for the next year.

After the war, many island countries in the South Pacific colonized or controlled by Britain, the United States, and France gained independence with the support of the Han Dynasty, a move that added more than a dozen allies to the Greater China Alliance and the Iron Alliance at the same time. Of course, this increase is only political, for military ...... Do you expect those small mouths with a population of hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, to send an army?

After the establishment of the kingdoms of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Tahidi, Kiribati and New Caledonia, the traditional power of Britain, the United States and other countries in the South Pacific was swept away. Zhong Yi promised to provide military protection to these island nations, and use their resources and taxes as collateral to provide loans and material assistance to the royal families to help them develop their own economies, allowing them to take advantage of the advantages of the Grand Alliance countries and attract investment from foreign consortiums such as the Kingdom of Judah.

At the same time, a series of grand alliance treaties have limited the erosion of the royal family by major conglomerates, and of course, the royal families of several island countries themselves are from the big family chaebols recommended by the Rothschilds.

Zhong Yi intends to use this move to hollow out the foundation of the United States, and use the royal status as a temptation to attract major families in the United States to transfer funds to their own territories! But these so-called territories are not yet under the control of the Han Emperor? Even so, the dream of becoming a king of oneself attracted a large number of ambitious people, and the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer Hebar became the hottest figure in the world's rich circles. can't get the relationship with the Han Emperor, and there is no good girl like the Red Shield family, and the billionaires who want to try to transform into the royal family have to take the route of the Minister of Finance.

For the inhabitants of the island countries, it is not a bad thing to get rid of colonial rule and win a huge rich king, at least these kings attach importance to the development of their own territories, and that pitiful tax is even more indifferent to these financial giants and industrial oligarchs. As a result, the living standards of the inhabitants of the island nations, which received huge infusions of money from outside, improved rapidly, and as a result, the inhabitants quickly accepted the new royal family.

Even, some island nations that refused to come to the royal family and insisted on local elections soon regretted it and signed a petition asking the empire to arrange a rich prostitute to be king.

This matter is a bit of a big problem, and even Hebal's father, the old patriarch of Smolgon, who has been low-key for several years after the Dang Gong case, was tempted to trick his son back to the Swan River Winery in Yizhou, discuss going through the back door, and also make a small island and a king.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer couldn't cry or laugh, his father is really addicted to kings, but if he and His Majesty dug a hole for the Americans, and if he falls into it again, will he be laughed at and lose his big teeth?

Even coaxed and deceived Sandra, and promised Sandra to find an opportunity to buy him a better island in the future, so that Hebar was able to get out.

Back in Chang'an, it happened that Jinhuadian called, Your Majesty, please drink. At the wine table, Hebar smiled and said something that his father was also tempted about, but he didn't expect His Majesty to really pay attention.

After Jiang Yunzhi and the others dispersed, Hebar was left behind.

Qin Yingxue has entered the waiting period for delivery, and Haini, who is still short in time, personally made tea and sent it up.

"Dude, if you want to talk about the old man's incident, I didn't do enough righteousness!" His Majesty left Heinie behind and sat with her.

"What a word! Uh...... "Hebal's alcohol consumption is still the worst compared to the big guys in the army." "Your Majesty, you have said it, we are buddies, it has been so long, why are you mentioning it? Besides, I understand that if it's not an old man, it's someone else...... Don't talk about it, don't talk about it! ”

"Hehe, buddy, our Han brother Feng, treat him as a dear! In other words, if I see you as a brother, your family will also be my family. Since Old Man Sandra has this in mind, I really have a good place! ”

"Oh?" After a few hiccups and a few sips of the premium dragon well, Hebal's head cleared up a lot. "Your Majesty, you mean ......"

"Hehe, find a place for the old man, fulfill his wishes, and by the way, save some capital for your son to lose!" Ignoring Hebar's question, His Majesty said to himself, "Look, how is the island of Timor? ”

"Ahh Hebal, who was still smiling bitterly at His Majesty's words to save some ruined capital for his son, immediately opened his mouth wide when he heard the words "Timor Island"!

"Hey, hey, ahhh Bite? Where the British, don't you dare to rob it? Seeing Hebar's appearance, His Majesty and Haynie looked at each other and smiled.

"Your Excellency Hebar, don't be too happy, Timor Island is just a dowry from my little lion Grand Duke to your daughter, I have already told Lucy that if I give birth to a boy and she gives birth to a girl, our two families will get married!" The leprechaun is forever speechless and never stops.

His Majesty and the little princess sang and sang together, their faces full of banter, but Hebar stood up solemnly and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhong Yi.

"What are you doing here?" His Majesty was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly went to help.

"I swear to be kind to the weak

I swear to stand up to rape bravely

I swear to fight all mistakes

I swear to fight for the unarmed

I swear to help anyone who comes to me for help

I swear not to hurt any woman

I swear to help my brother knights

I swear to be sincere with my friends

I swear that I will die for what I love!

I swear that the Smolgons will always be loyal to the royal family and to the Han Emperor! ”

"This is a knightly oath on the continent of medieval Europe, Your Majesty, Your Excellency Hebar is swearing to you!" After all, it is everyone's ladies, and Heinie's knowledge of these ancient rituals is quite extensive.

"I'll get up, get up, Hebal! I've said it all, we're buddies, what kind of knightly ceremony are you doing? His Majesty reached out to Rahbar, but Khbar insisted on getting down on one knee and remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, you should give the Knight Hebal a sword, this kind of knightly oath that everyone can only have once in a lifetime! It would be a lifetime disgrace for a knight not to be accepted by those to whom he was allegiant. "Thankfully, there's Hennie.

"Nima, Hebar, you can't be my ancient sword, right?" His Majesty's eyes swept around the room, and only found the ancient sword hanging on the wall, which was brought back by Wang Wenyi, the captain of the guard last time, in China, and I heard that it was a sword treasured in the Manchu Palace of the previous dynasty.

"What kind of bullshit rule is this, if you recite an oath, I will have to take an ancient sword! No, Hebar, if you cheat me out of a sword, then exchange it for your family's Swan River Winery, and your family will move to Timor anyway! ”

"Huh?" Hebal, who was complacent when he got the ancient sword, was full of grief and indignation, "Don't change it!" This sword is my reward for my allegiance to you, so why should I take my winery? Don't change!
