The Grand Duke of Windsor, who settled in Canberra's Rallenla estate, although far away from the United Kingdom, never left the whirlpool of power in the United Kingdom, especially during this period, and acted as a microphone between George VI and the Han Emperor, which contributed to the smooth implementation of the "Red Rose" plan to a large extent.

At the very least, the Stuttering King's courage to command troops loyal to the crown to confront government forces in Westminster is inseparable from the support of his brother, the Duke of Windsor.

The open break between the royal family and the cabinet was unprecedented in the centuries since the introduction of a constitutional monarchy in Britain after the Industrial Revolution.

The red rose is the national flower of the United Kingdom, but even more recently, the blooming blood rose was the symbol of the Anglo-Saxon family, also known as the royal family.

No one knew that George VI had re-inlaid his golden carriage with the blood-colored rose totem - and since he had torn his face, he would fight to the end. Either the Anglo-Saxons will take back the royal power that once belonged to them, or the royal family will be completely reduced to the puppets of politicians.

The Governor of Gibraltar, Viscount Mark Farane, did not call back to the British king after the departure of the home reinforcements. George VI believed that he had betrayed the royal family and that there was no hope for the Allies to take over the fortress of Gibraltar peacefully, and informed the Grand Duke of Windsor of his judgment.

British intelligence intercepted the telegram, but it was understandable that the message contained greetings from the British king to his brother.

Lieutenant General Palauson, head of MI6, handed over the deciphered telegram to Churchill in time, knowing that there was something wrong with this telegram, but Qiu Fat had no way to put pressure on the British king.

The British Army on home soil has become increasingly sympathetic to the royal family, and the gendarmerie has arrested a number of officers who have spoken out in support of the royal family, putting the prime minister under a lot of pressure.

After all, nominally, the King of England is still the supreme head of the Commonwealth, and it is not a mistake to be loyal to the royal family.

Governor Mark Farane never replied to the telegram, and the reinforcements sent were under heavy casualties from the Allied air forces, how much combat strength could they have when they arrived in Gibraltar? Churchill did not dare to hold up much hope.

Then the attitude of the Gibraltar defenders is quite important! Although Admiral Montgomery had been appointed commander of the Home Guard, all senior British officers were well aware of the defensive battle of the homeland once Gibraltar was lost......

Britain was not the Soviet Union, there were vast territories that could be left to use as strategic space in the war. Once a behemoth, the sun never sets empire, after losing a large number of overseas colonies, its true side is nothing more than a small island nation.

What else can save the UK?

Churchill's eyes looked to the southeast, as if he could see Spain through the night, and see the only hope for saving Britain - the fortress of Gibraltar.

Wu Jiayi sent a telegram from the Grand Duke of Windsor, and the number of words was not much, only four words: There is no hope for peace!

Zhong Yi grinned, he was not surprised by this result. Even, His Majesty has never had much hope for the "Red Rose" operation to subvert Britain, and the war to rearrange the seats of the great powers will eventually have to be divided on the battlefield. It's just that I didn't expect the National Security Bureau and King Ying to really make some fame, "Well, Sister-in-law Leng's ability is still good, and I don't know if Jiang Heimian can lower her?" ”

Mu Yu said that during Leng Yun's stay in Cairo, there were some sparks between him and Generalissimo Jiang. Zhong Yi is still more happy to see this happen. After Ye Zhiqiu's early death, His Majesty learned a lesson and took many measures to help and even order senior officers to start families so that they could have personal care.

But Jiang Yunzhi's personal problems have not been solved, so that as long as he is in Chang'an, he stays in Weiqing Pavilion and takes the office as his home. If there are good deeds, Generalissimo Jiang will be rated as the first of the top five diamond kings in the world, and the unmarried daughters of the entire Nanhua all hate to meet each other, but what is Weiqing Pavilion? What is the average person who can get into?

Unexpectedly, this time I actually ......, "How can the two of them get together?" His Majesty, who picked up the phone, was still a little incredulous, but also very funny. Compared with the Pacific submarine cable, which was laid by the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, the submarine cable connecting South China and Africa across the Indian Ocean has just been laid by the Royal Telecom Company of Dahan. The connection between Chang'an and Cairo, where the General Headquarters of the Mediterranean Theater was located, did not have to be completed by telegraph.

However, this is not the time to joke, and the phone lines that have just been connected are not as fast as expected. It took a long time for the phone to be connected, and Jiang Yunzhi's hearty voice came, and Zhong Yi smiled!

is not the same as the brotherhood between He Muyu, Qian Zhihao and others, in this world, only Ye Zhiqiu, who died young, can be like Jiang Yunzhi, who can be so stress-free in front of His Majesty.

The progress on the African battlefield and the situation of local battles such as Spain and France will be reported to His Majesty by a special staff officer of the General Command of the Mediterranean Theater. But listening to Marshal Jiang on the phone, Zhong Yi still listened very seriously, and rarely interjected.

It is His Majesty's consistent principle to leave professional things to professionals to do. At least, so far, Jiang Yunzhi has done quite well.

Making this call, in fact, His Majesty just wanted to tell Jiang Yunzhi: The operation can begin!

Since George VI had no way of making Mark Farane loyal to the royal family, a "surgical" operation was imperative. It's almost April, and in Zhong Yi's heart, the battlefields in the Mediterranean and Western Europe can't be delayed any longer, and it's time to completely solve Britain.

The confrontation between Germany and the Soviet Union was fierce, and the Far Eastern Front, which had Ye Weixun, dragged Lao Maozi back to his feet, and although the German army had not yet made a major breakthrough in Stalingrad and Moscow, it was not difficult to deal with it. Leningrad, which had been besieged by the German army in the north for nearly a year, had been breached, more than 400,000 Soviet troops had been surrounded and surrendered, and the balance of the war between the Soviet Union and Germany had tilted in favor of fascist Germany.

Zhong Yi had already ordered Ye Weixun to slow down his offensive in Central Asia after 1943 and instead make every effort to stabilize the rule of the Beihai Governor's Palace, which had been moved to Ulan-Ude. The immigrating of large numbers of Koreans and a part of the literate Chinese to the Sahar and Evenki kingdoms removed the Russian influence from the Siberian region in terms of lifestyle and spiritual culture.

After Chen Shukang's army broke through Novosibirsk and occupied important Soviet industrial areas in Central Asia, it did not move on the grounds that the supply lines were too long to launch a large-scale attack.

The bearded man must hold out for another two years, and the mustache must not be pulled out to make trouble in Western Europe, "at least until the British surrender!" ”

From the current point of view, Zhong Yi's strategy is still successful. After the "Submarine Massacre in the Bay of Biscay", the number of U-submarine sorties of the German Navy has decreased considerably, and Ribbentrop has recently been arguing with Wilson at the White Tiger Foreign Ministry building, and without His Majesty's nod, the Foreign Minister certainly does not dare to relax on a series of military technologies that Germany urgently needs.

"Talk, you have to agree to everything, but you have to delay it for a while, under the pretext that you think for yourself. In particular, the output of AIP technology for submarines must be delayed until after the surrender of the British! ”

This is an order from His Majesty to Wilson.

With this bottom line, the two major actors have to talk about it in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building every day. Today, however, the atmosphere was a little different, and as soon as the German Foreign Minister with a large pot of self-brewed coffee walked into Wilson's office, he noticed that the smile on the face of the Reich Foreign Minister was unusual.

Sure enough, without saying a few words, before Ribbentrop could lead the topic to the daily must-have lines, Wilson first proposed, "We should have a good talk about the sharing of Hand-German military technology today!" ”

Such a proactive cooperation surprised the German foreign minister, who was already ready to fight another day of verbal war.

"What's going on? Why don't you play according to the routine? ”

Wilson smiled, "What? Mr. Foreign Minister seems reluctant to discuss this topic? ”

……

"Damn!" Relieved, Ribbentrop threw the king-size coffee cup aside and cursed secretly! Of course I want to talk about it, but if I don't talk about this, I'm idle? It's been in Chang'an for so many days.

The German Foreign Minister was keenly aware that the Han army must have made great progress in the African and Mediterranean theaters! But haven't you heard of any major battles lately? Don't...... Is it the British royal family that has changed with domestic disputes? Churchill obeyed the orders of George VI?

Thinking of this, even Ribbentrop himself did not believe it, "unless Churchill had his head watered or kicked by a donkey!" ”

As an SS officer-turned-foreign minister, Ribbentrop was deeply trusted by the German Führer, and he repaid the Führer's trust with diligence and wisdom and achieved numerous diplomatic achievements.

Only this time, he only guessed one of them.

No one would have imagined that when the joint attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Spanish army had just been thwarted, and people were predicting that the Battle of Gibraltar would become another siege of the fortress of Sevasporol, Marshal Jiang Yunzhi had already begun to confidently give the order for the "surgical" operation.

The shelling of the narrow neutral zone continued, and from the third day onwards, bombardment by the Allied air forces was added. The British defense was still impregnable, with large-caliber shore defense guns mounted on railroad tracks and a large number of Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft guns, which made it not very stressful for the British to deal with the bombing of Allied aircraft.

However, the British commanders ignored the fact that almost all the dozen or so planes they shot down throughout the day were fighters from Spain and Italy, and only one Linglong reconnaissance plane had two wings painted with the symbol of the golden dragon going to sea.

This was also the first time that the British army shot down a J/Z-39D Linglong carrier-based combat reconnaissance aircraft.

The British, who were patronizing the joy and celebration, did not realize that they were able to shoot down Ling Long with anti-aircraft guns, which meant that "Ling Long" began to lower its altitude to get closer to reconnoitre.

A total of four "Linglong" of the Northern Fleet carried out the last reconnaissance operation before the operation, and in order to get clearer photos, two flight crew members died along with the downed "Linglong".

The pilots did not choose to parachute in the first place after the plane was hit. In order to prevent the technology and important information on the "Linglong" reconnaissance plane from falling into the hands of the Allied forces, they barely controlled the plane and crashed into the "pillar of Hercules" -- the Gibraltar limestone.

With young life and brilliant fireworks, he composed a tragic song!
