Gibraltar is about 4 years long from north to south. 6 km, about 1 wide from east to west. 2 km, with an area of about 5. 8 square kilometers. There are no rivers, no springs, no arable land, and the inhabitants rely on external supplies for vegetables, food and fresh water.

It is this small land that has become one of the top ten fortresses in the world, guarding the choke point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean waterways. In 1704, in response to the succession to the throne, Britain and the Netherlands launched the Spanish War and captured Gibraltar, which became a British colony.

For more than 200 years, Spain has not given up its will to reclaim Gibraltar. At the time of the American Revolution, an attempt was made to unite the French army to besiege Gibraltar, but it was unsuccessful.

Now, the Allies are advancing westward, and Franco's heart is both excited and a little apprehensive.

Of course, the excitement is to take the unstoppable high-speed train of the Han Dynasty, which is like the sunrise in the east, and Spain will be able to share the fruits of victory with its allies after the end of the war.

The one who was worried was that with the strength of the Han Kingdom, he drove away ...... Don't drive away the wolves, and usher in the tigers.

It's just that it's too late to think about it now! After the Cairo Conference, Franco was tied to the Iron Alliance. Sun Liren led the Chinese Expeditionary Force to land in Malaga; The Northern Fleet of the Han Navy also began shelling Algiers. Presumably, it won't be long before the allied army, navy, and air force will launch a full-scale attack on Gibraltar, right?

The Spanish dictator is thinking about whether he should get close to the Han Emperor in advance? I heard that the only drawback of the Han Emperor is that he is more lustful, and he married a concubine in almost every important ally, isn't it...... Madrid girls are also known for their enthusiasm and unrestrainedness.

If Zhong Yi could know what Franco was thinking now, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood! What do you mean by the only drawback is that you are more? What does it mean that every important ally has married a concubine...... Looks like it's really ha! Qin Yingxue is a representative of the Red Police Corps; Hennie is a Jewish princess; Needless to say, Concubine Sakura; Even Vivien has high hopes from the natives.

"But...... Brother doesn't think so, right? It's just a coincidence, isn't it? ”

"Your Majesty, Marshal Chiang from Cairo is calling!" The female secretary with white boots and a short skirt in a tulle women's military uniform walked in, and a Wu Nong whisper sounded a little soft. Although she wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and long black hair combed into a round bun, she is like the goddess of the academy in the future, in this world of the same short hair, green shirts, long skirts and white socks, she looks particularly prominent. Of course, the most outstanding thing about the martial arts reporter is the slender figure. Compared with Western women, feminine Chinese women are a shortcoming in terms of figure, and Jiangnan women are even more so. However, this rule does not apply to the goddess of martial arts, with slender thighs, a slender bee waist, and a rather tall eye-catching place, huh...... The only thing that makes His Majesty a little regretful is that his delicate little face always looks cold.

But this is nothing, Your Majesty is confident that it will melt, think about the cold beauty who was colder back then, and then look at Qin Yingxue's current appearance...... As long as I see His Royal Highness Tianlin, I am smiling, and my face is full of maternal love.

"Nima!" Thinking of this, His Majesty is a little angry, since there are Tianlin and Tianning, His Majesty's status in Jinhua Hall has plummeted. "Otherwise, with my brother's discipline, how can I think about this cold girl!"

"Hehe" laughed twice, but the military reporter who sent the telegram in the future was startled, and the ensuing big eyes have become a routine, and His Majesty is used to it, but "This is Xinhua's, it seems that this is another important ally!" ”

Generalissimo Chiang's telegram was very simple, only seven words, and punctuation had to be counted: the main knife was in place.

But after reading it, His Majesty's face immediately became much more serious, and he had no intention of teasing the little secretary.

The "surgical" operation, just by listening to this codename, you know that it is from His Majesty.

At the Cairo General Command of the Allied Mediterranean Theater of Operations, there was a great debate about the timing of the launch of the Battle of Gibraltar. Hans, Rommel, and others insisted on first dealing with Eisenhower's Multinational Force's African Front, and then launching a landing campaign at the Moroccan port of Ceuta, just a dozen kilometers wide from Gibraltar.

Most of the generals of the Guards Corps tended to take advantage of the Allied superiority in the Mediterranean Sea and air to take the lead in solving the obstructive fortress of Gibraltar. The reason was that Spain had just joined the Allied forces and its position was not firm enough. If the multinational force were to launch a landing campaign on the Atlantic side, such as the Bay of Bicais or the port of Cádiz in the Strait of Gibraltar, the Spanish forces would not be able to hold it. In that case, if they wanted to attack Gibraltar again, the Allies would have to fight another decisive battle with the Allied forces on the Iberian Peninsula. Even if it wins, it will greatly delay the attack on Britain and will be detrimental to the overall strategy.

Commander-in-Chief Jiang Yunzhi is also an absolute supporter of the latter, and the other marshals Jiang still have a word that has not been said: His Majesty asked to force Britain to surrender in the first half of the year, how can Lao Tzu have time to turn around in the bathtub of the Mediterranean.

In Zhong Yi's view, Eisenhower didn't even have to pay attention to him, let Hans and Shui Mo accompany them to play in the Libyan desert, take Gibraltar, the Northern Fleet marched into the Atlantic, cut off the supply lines of the American army, and the more than 100,000 multinational troops in Africa had to face the dilemma of either surrendering or starving to death.

Fighting a war is like the ancients practicing martial arts, if you practice honestly with one move and one style, and make up for your clumsiness with diligence, you may be able to become a master, but it is definitely difficult to become a top master. The sword goes sideways, and the winning side is a genius.

How can a genius be a step-by-step? Not taking the usual path, not being done by the world, the world of genius will certainly not be understood by ordinary people.

Zhong Yi remembered the "surgical" strikes of the US military in later generations, which was not the development and intensification of a kind of blitzkrieg. Although the intelligence and precision-guided weapons possessed by the Han army today cannot be compared with those of later generations, although the current tactics are still mainly carpet bombing. But Zhong Yi believes that his Han army is still capable of carrying out a strategic "surgical" strike, just as this time, in the area controlled by the multinational force, to strip Gibraltar out of the control area with precision and precision.

"Since it's a 'malignant tumor', it should be cut out first!"

His Majesty replied to Jiang Yunzhi, who was hesitant in Cairo.

Strategies and tactics should be formulated by the commanders of the front line, and Zhong Yi did not intend to be like the chairman of the Chinese Civil War.

But His Majesty was looking forward to the effect of this "operation", just as the concerned people waited anxiously in the corridor in the operating room.

In order to carry out a "surgical" strike, accurate intelligence, powerful striking capability, advanced performance, and ammunition with great lethality are all indispensable, and it is also necessary to have a strong army with well-trained, well-commanded, and rich experience.

In this era, there was no shortage of these necessary conditions for the Han army, at least the Guards Corps, which consisted of Red Guard soldiers, and the Royal Navy and Air Force. The only short-legged is the air-to-surface missile, and the withered performance of the Hong's Penguin-3 missile on the battlefield has made the air force and naval aviation all criticized.

Fortunately, two weapons appeared in the laboratory of the base war in time that Zhong Yi had been excited about for a long time.

Hong's Penguin-5 air-to-surface missile

Construction funds: 370,000

Bullet length: 5. 3 meters;

Weight: 1200 kg;

Bullet diameter: 840 mm;

Wingspan: 2260mm;

Firing range: 30 km;

Flight speed: 1. Mach 5;

Guidance mode: inertial navigation + active radar;

Warhead: proximity fuse + high-explosive projectile;

Warhead weight: 500 kg;

Construction time: 60 minutes;

Description: As an air-launched missile dedicated to ground attack, Hong's Penguin-5 adopts conventional multi-wing aerodynamics, the power plant is a single solid rocket engine, and the warhead of nearly half a ton ensures that its power is huge, and when launched at the most suitable range of 20 kilometers, the accuracy is relatively high, and the deviation is within 10 meters.

Is this clearly the legendary stand-off strike weapon? Well, the introduction of the second weapon is much simpler, but it makes His Majesty's heart beat even harder.

Ruby-2 laser-guided cluster bomb

Construction funds: 100,000

Bullet length: 3. 3 meters;

Bullet diameter: 375 mm

Wingmin: 1055 mm

Weight: 550 kg;

Construction time: 15 minutes

Description: It is a precision strike weapon developed by adding a laser guidance system and wings on the basis of a conventional 500-kilogram aerial bomb. It has the advantages of long projection distance, high hitting accuracy and low price. Target irradiation support is required, and the carrier aircraft cannot quickly disengage after throwing.

Is there anything more perfect than an air-to-ground mass killer and an inexpensive laser-guided bomb?

There are also shortcomings, whether it is Hong's Penguin-5 or Ruby-2, they are too heavy! Ordinary fighters can't be mounted at all, the Ruby-2 is better, the Air Force's Weilong and the Navy's Brute Dragon two-seater version can both be mounted with 6. But Hong's Penguin-5, and only use heavy strategic bombers as carrier aircraft, at present, Hong's Penguin-3 can not be decommissioned, at least in the future, such as battleships that are rough and thick-skinned big guys are becoming less and less, against other ships, Hong's -3 still has a certain use.

With the weight of the Hong-5, it is difficult to get on the ship, but fortunately, over the years, the Royal Air Force has been relatively balanced in the development of various models.

There were absolutely no problems with the launch of the large strategic bomber H-40C Helleye by a four-shot large strategic bomber.

Turning the leather chair and resting his head comfortably on the soft back, His Majesty's eyes were aimed at the holographic map, zooming in on the Mediterranean area, "hehe" twice, the Mediterranean Sea is too small, and it is really not easy to find a good base for the Helleye bomber force - because there are too many suitable ones.

Just about to push open the door and change some tea for His Majesty, the martial arts reporter heard the two wicked laughter, was frightened and trotted, hurriedly and quietly closed the door, and gently pouted his red mouth, "Hmph, this faint gentleman, it's nothing good to listen to laughter, leave him alone, let him continue to drink herbal tea!" ”

……

After staring at the hologram for a long time, I finally chose Wheelers on the east side of Tripoli, which seemed to be the largest American air base in Africa in the future. In other words, the vision of the old American base can still be believed. At least, the climate was good, there were no buildings too high, and the main thing was that there were few people - after several years of war, the most dead were not the multinational forces, let alone the Allied troops, but the local civilians.
