Chapter 262: A Wisp of White Hair
The Weiqing Pavilion at night is much less majestic and solemn during the day.
During the day, the abundant sunlight in the southern hemisphere has fully charged the energy-saving street lamps around Wei Qing Pavilion, and Wei Qing Pavilion, the holy place in the hearts of millions of imperial soldiers, also adds a little tenderness to the soft yellow light.
It's like Vivien holding a plate of love snacks.
The indigenous girl has been hesitating in front of the door for a long time, and His Majesty has stayed in Weiqing Pavilion these days, so that the little secretary is so happy! Because, this means that the two of them have a lot more time alone, but for many days ahead, His Majesty will secretly go to find the little star vixen, which makes Vivien very disappointed.
"What eyes, such a big beauty is standing here, can't you see it?" Every day looking at the background of His Majesty's departure, the indigenous girl can't help but mumble.
Suddenly, there was a bang in His Majesty's office, and Vivien almost threw the disc in her hand to the ground, her face turned red, and she quickly turned around and ran away.
His Majesty heard footsteps outside, but in the heavily guarded Weysage Pavilion, only Vivien could approach this office at this time. He frowned, but immediately turned his attention back to the map on the desktop.
It was a military map covering the perimeter of the Mediterranean, detailing the deployment of forces in Europe and North Africa. His Majesty has been in a daze for a long time on this map, and with a "bang" just now, he has finally made up his mind. I didn't expect to be interrupted by an indigenous girl.
His Majesty, whose attention was retracted, had an unusual flush on his cheeks, which was a sign of a person entering a state of euphoria. Can...... It seems that His Majesty's stealing of joy today ended a few hours ago!
"Nima, make it big!"
…… Still want to do it?
"If the Americans dare to do it, we won't dare to do it?"
…… Who? Monroe? Hasn't that already been done N times by His Majesty?
As the red pencil circled a triangle on the map, His Majesty hammered the table with another "bang".
"Isn't it awesome? Then storm his chrysanthemum! ”
…… It's ......, well, Westerners like this way.
The Strait of Tunisia refers to a deep-water channel in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea between Tunisia and Sicily, with a depth of more than 1,300 meters and only 100 nautical miles at its narrowest point. On the Italian island of Banterella, in the eastern part of the strait, thousands of Italian soldiers were stationed. Although it is only a small port left over from the ancient Carthaginian period, the sea has eroded it over the years, and the surrounding area is so steep that the harbor can only accommodate small boats. However, as the southern gate of Sicily and the control of important shipping lanes in the Tunis Strait, both sides of the Mediterranean hegemony attach great importance to the island of Banterella.
The Allied air forces dropped thousands of tons of bombs on the island of Banterellaria, inflicting heavy casualties on the Italian defenders. On the island, there was no airfield, and Mussolini then sent most of the anti-aircraft weapons supported by the Han to the island. Because he felt that with the participation of the Han Royal Air Force in the war, the air defense of the Italian mainland was no longer as urgent as before.
This proved to be the right decision in the subsequent battles, as the group taking off northeast Tunisia had to be careful to increase its altitude as it passed over the island of Bantarella. Because a large number of anti-aircraft guns on the island often caused them a lot of trouble. At the same time, the island of Bantarella has also become the best radar base station, which can be detected in advance by the multinational force air force in the Tunisian area.
And the red triangle that His Majesty just drew on the map is here! The eastern part of the Tunis Strait is a small island of Banterenia. Use Bantellenia as a staging post to launch the Tunisian landing campaign and destroy the Multinational Force's Afrika Korps chrysanthemum.
Having made up his mind to begin the landing, His Majesty did not confine himself to Malta from the very beginning. The Germans could not do it, and that was because in the Mediterranean Sea there was no presence of horizontal ships in Germany at all.
Today, the Mediterranean Sea gathers thousands of fighters from the six aircraft carrier battle formations of the Royal Navy and the four armies of the Royal Air Force, while in Syria, Palestine, and Israel, the Army has four army groups waiting for the fight.
If you want to do it, make it big, and knock out the Afrika Korps of the multinational force.
If the Americans dare to do it, we will also do it, isn't it just the "torch" plan to land in Africa, land in Tunisia, and directly storm their chrysanthemums.
His Majesty's bold idea was hotly debated at the wartime meeting of the Military Commission the next day.
There are good reasons for both sides.
If the Middle East Front succeeds in landing in Tunisia and Algeria, it will not only win control of the Mediterranean, but also push Eisenhower in Jufra, Libya, into a corner: flanked on both sides, with no way to advance or retreat.
But in the Moroccan and Algerian regions, the British and American troops were gathering, and the British Army General Alexander was ordered to form a Mediterranean Front to prepare for an attack on Sicily. How big is the loss? What's more, our side has already controlled Egypt, and the Middle East Front has crossed the Suez Canal and advanced step by step along the coastline.
"The movement of Rommel's gang near Benghazi should also be taken into account. Xiao Guoxing's 4th Infantry Army is behind him. "Zhang Zheng is a supporter of the Conservative faction.
"It's okay to take a three-pronged approach!" Jiang Hei, who had been counting the tea stalks for a long time, suddenly raised his head, "Your Majesty, I am willing to ask for war!" ”
……
The statement of the Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Army gently suppressed all the objections, and everyone looked up at General Chiang, who was standing up slowly.
His Majesty's frowning brow suddenly bloomed, and Zhong Yi remembered the situation when he first met Jiang Yunzhi at the main base.
......"Army Sergeant Jiang Yunzhi reported to the Supreme Commander. ”
Today's Jiang Yunzhi is not confused when he is over the years, he has gray hair on his sideburns, and he is no longer young. But eight years ago, carrying a marching bag, holding a Type 56 assault rifle, and shouting "Hello sir!" Jiang Yunzhi, Your Majesty has never forgotten. Of course, I never forgot that special attribute: Command (can grow).
Looking at the imperial general in front of him, His Majesty grinned lightly, "Is this an alternative ten years of sharpening a sword?" ”
Eight years is not a long time, and it is just a drop in the ocean in the long river of history, fleeting.
But for Zhong Yi, these eight years are like a lifetime. From a small army of ten men in the western wastelands to a mighty empire like today; From a young man who has just graduated from a military academy to the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, who has the power of the world. The main thing is that he and his comrades-in-arms really changed history and changed the world.
In the previous life, China was still struggling with the little devils, and it was struggling to persist in the violent "three lights" and cruel sweeps! But now, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee has broken the Yangtze River defense line, the People's Liberation Army has crossed the river with millions of heroes, and Nanjing and Shanghai have been liberated...... China's reunification is just around the corner.
Looking around, the establishment of the China Grand Alliance can completely shelter the free development of New China, there are no sanctions, no embargoes, what kind of island chain plan...... Perhaps, without His Majesty's consent, Western countries will not even have a place to anchor in the Asia-Pacific region!
"Who said I was unpatriotic, who said I forgot my original intention?"
In the middle of the night, when no one was around, Zhong Yi had repeatedly whispered and roared, asking himself, as if he was asking the world!
Didn't the existence of Nanhua make the Han people extremely respected in the world? Didn't the existence of the Grand Alliance make the Han Dynasty return to the top of the nation?
Although the strand of white hair between Jiang Yunzhi's sideburns made His Majesty feel a lot of emotion and sigh, there was always an elusive smile on his face.
The time of eight rooms is enough to change a lot, and the power of the Han Emperor who has passed has gradually increased, and the emperor's prestige is increasing. Jiang Yunzhi, who took the initiative to ask for war, was still standing waiting for His Majesty's reply, and other members of the Military Commission were also looking forward to it.
Because everyone understands that such a major battle decision, no matter how others argue, the final result will definitely come from His Majesty's decision.
"Do you know where Napoleon is?"
"I'm ......!" The big guy was in an uproar, and even Jiang Yunzhi, who had a serious face, smiled helplessly! Your Majesty, which play are you going to play?
"Corsica! As a teenager, Napoleon's greatest dream was to drive out the invaders and defend his homeland. Mu Yu seemed to feel something, and replied casually.
"That's right! Director Mu's knowledge is growing! ”
I'll take it, everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads, everyone is a soldier, Napoleon and other figures, how can they not hear about it.
His Majesty also smiled, too nervous, but it would affect thinking. No matter how major the battle is, it is nothing more than the difference between stir-frying on a high heat or simmering on a low heat!
"Of course everyone knows Napoleon, so he has a saying, I don't know if you have heard it: If I was not born as Napoleon, then I want to be born as Alexander."
"Huh......?"
Of course, most people have read such a famous saying, Napoleon worshipped Alexander the Great, and even this famous quote was modeled after Alexander, and legend has it that after inheriting the Greek alliance city-state founded by his father, he was welcomed, revered and even flattered by many people, but only Theogenis did not stop the new monarch.
Alexander, who had been influenced by Aristotle since he was a child, was quite magnanimous, and he decided to visit Diogenis himself.
But in his dilapidated kennel dwelling, when Alexander politely asked, "How can I help you?" ”
Theogenis' reply was, "Please help me get out of the way, you're blocking my rays!" ”
The pretentious Greeks laughed loudly, and the Macedonian officers looked at each other, but Alexander was the only one who said, "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenis." ”
Because Alexander, who was about to start his conquest, knew that in this world, only Alexander the Conqueror and Diogenis called Hanako were free!
But what does it mean to say this at this time?
Zhong Yi didn't explain, just smiled faintly, "Yun Zhi, let it go, the navy, land and air forces will fully cooperate with your actions, and if you need anything, come to me directly!" ”
Your Majesty said so, and it was decided to continue the Tunisian landing campaign! Zhang Zheng's mouth twitched, such a bold battle concept, such a sudden advance, it was difficult for him to understand.
But perhaps, as Qian Zhihao said, "That's why Zhong Yi is the emperor and he ......"
