Chapter 276

"You mean, Your Excellency the Prime Minister wants to march into England?" Zheng Sen sat on a large sofa, sipping whiskey and looking at Ribbentrop.

"Yes! Daming has no interest in LinkedIn Gran, but we in Germany do.

In England under German rule, there would never be a wave of opposition to the Ming Dynasty again. At the same time, tariffs will also be reduced on Daming goods.

More importantly, Daming's move will win the friendship of Germany. We will try our best to coordinate and let the Nordics open up the market for Daming.

Oh...... By the way, we will also open the ports of England, and the Ming will choose one or two as the military ports of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, we will also cede the right to garrison troops and allow the Ming to set up a military base in England.

The legal status of military bases is the same as that of the territory of the Ming Dynasty. "Ribbentrop is well aware of the unspoken rules of the Ming people.

Negotiations are usually negotiated in a private and relaxed environment, and as for the negotiation table, that is where the articles are read out and signed.

"The conditions are very superior, but I have to report such a big matter to His Excellency the Generalissimo. It's definitely not something I can decide! ”

Zheng Sen smiled, the price offered by Germany was indeed tempting.

However, it is clearly not enough. Ribbentrop and Ashi, apparently, don't know much about Da Ming yet.

What the Ming wanted was that there would never be a unified empire in Europe, not a behemoth that had annexed France, Austria, and England.

While Zheng Sen was talking to the Germans in Berlin, the Ming fleet sailed into the port of Porto.

The construction of Porto's port is still in its infancy, and it is okay to dock some destroyers at the existing berths.

Not to mention battleships and aircraft carriers, even cruisers could not dock.

But this is not difficult for Li Xiu, the weather in the Atlantic Ocean is very good these days.

The airship unloaded tons of supplies onto the deck of the aircraft carrier.

This resupply, though a little slower, is the only way to go.

As for the supply of battleships and cruisers, it was necessary to rely on supply ships.

The logistics of the Ming Dynasty were relatively troublesome, because the Ming army needed a lot of things.

In addition to supplies such as drinking water, fuel and ammunition are also needed.

Even the pipe damage needs some spare parts to deal with the failure of the ship that I don't know where it will be.

All of this required supply ships to be transported directly by sea from the dock to the battleship.

After three days of rest, the Ming fleet was once again recharged.

After the total annihilation of the British fleet, there was no match for the Ming fleet in the Atlantic. The battleship headed north, heading straight for London.

************************

"Divisional commander, let's fight. The navy had already left Bordeaux and headed north, and they would fire a few shots at the mouth of the Thames with their cannons, and the British would have surrendered.

The brothers have been preparing here for a month, and they saw that the equipment was all in. The large-caliber mortars are also going to be installed, and the British have surrendered, what should we do?

It's not in vain! ”

A group of young officers of the third division gathered around Cao Wenzhao and talked nonsense.

Cao Wenzhao was so noisy that his head hurt, but he couldn't help it.

The surrender of the British was basically a foregone conclusion.

The British surrendered, and there was no need for the British soldiers in Gibraltar to hold out. They even said that they should have welcomed the surrender of the British.

Because Gibraltar was a dead place in every sense of the word.

The Spaniards had surrendered, and the Ming had cut off Gibraltar's supply routes by land.

The Royal Navy of the British Empire was wiped out, and the sea lanes of Gibraltar were finished.

The only thing that could sustain Gibraltar now was the provision that had been made under the cantonment of Gibraltar before the war.

Once those supplies were exhausted, Gibraltar was finished.

"Divisional commander, let's fight. Even if we fight for ammunition, we will win and be undefeated. ”

"Division commander, the 1st and 4th divisions are making a lot of money in Russia. The Second Division is also fighting very beautifully in the Middle East, and our brothers have no military exploits, so how can they have a face in the future. ”

"Division Commander, let's fight!"

"Yes! Division, commander, let's fight. The war is coming to an end, and we haven't even gained any military merit. ”

The chattering voices of the officers once again dragged Cao Wenzhao back to reality.

"Damn, hit!" Cao Wenzhao looked at a pair of fighting eyes, gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Previously, his status in the army was second only to Ao Ye and Man Ye. Now, a large number of newly promoted generals seem to have a tendency to catch up with him, which makes Cao Wenzhao's heart full of urgency.

"No!" The officers excitedly agreed in unison.

"Divisional commander, since you have decided to fight. But the big handsome didn't instruct it, you did it...... Will it ......" The chief of staff is still old-fashioned.

"Chief of Staff, what do you mean by that?"

"Chief of Staff, you are also a member of our Third Division. Just look at the credit of our third division, and it was snatched away by others? ”

"Chief of Staff, you can't do that."

"Chief of Staff, why are you elbowing out."

The officers began to make a lot of noise, and the military merit in the Ming army was the first. Let your talent be world-famous, and it will be useless if you have no military merits.

Seeing the military exploits of their colleagues one by one, the eyes of the officers of the Third Division were red.

Now there is no knighthood, and that's because the war is not over yet.

Waiting for the end of the war, the 1st and 4th Divisions, which have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, will definitely be reused.

Even those troops with a tentative prefix, because of their bravery, may not be disbanded after the war.

There are a number of armies raised by the Ming Dynasty, and if they don't disband, the ones who will be disbanded will be ......!

Needless to say, the three field divisions before the war, the first division, was the absolute main force.

The Second Division had nothing to do at first, and later it was transferred to the Middle East to fight well.

Half of the 4th Division remained in the Western Regions, and the remaining half participated in the Russian War.

The fight was also bloody, and there were a few back and forth!

Only two or three battalions of the third division participated in the war.

Participating in the war in the final stage is just training with the Swedish army.

Now that he has been transferred to Spain, he has been preparing for more than a month, and he is almost ready, and the other side is about to surrender.

This made the officers and men of the Third Division angry to death, but there was nothing they could do.

Now that the division commander has finally been moved, the chief of staff has come out to stir up the situation again.

"Shut up!" The chief of staff roared, and the regiment commanders below hurriedly shut up.

"Do you know what the consequences of disobeying the orders of the Commander are?

Do you know the consequences of the division commander giving the order without the order to fight?

One by one, they shouted and shouted and killed for military merits, have you ever thought about it for the division commander? ”

The chief of staff's words made everyone bow their heads.

Truly! Without the order of the commander, the consequences of sending troops without permission are too serious. Even if Cao Wenzhao is a close confidant, he will not be completely fine.

"Chief of Staff, what do you say. You can't let the brothers just wait.

The navy has already left the port, and in a few days there will be a bombardment in London, and London will definitely surrender. ”

"It's not that you don't fight, but you have to pay attention to a method. Although it is not possible for me to take the initiative to attack, it is not said that our army can only be beaten and not fight back, right? ”

After the chief of staff finished speaking, he glanced at Cao Wenzhao with sinister eyes.

"Chief of Staff, do you mean that if the British take the initiative to attack, we will have a reason to fight?"

"That's right! The British have all called, and we are not allowed to fight back? The Chief of Staff smiled like a fox.

"Got it! Chief of Staff, Division Commander, we get it. You two are all right, and you will definitely do things beautifully for you. ”

As soon as the regimental commanders heard this, they immediately came to their senses.

They left the divisional command post one after another and returned to their respective unit deployments.

Cao Wenzhao looked at the chief of staff and smiled: "Old man! It's up to you at the critical moment, these people only know how to fight and kill, and they want to put me on the fire to roast. ”

"Divisional commander! I looked at this matter, and I still reported it truthfully to the marshal. As for the small actions made by the people underneath, let them do it.

Remember! The telegram to the commander must be cipher. Don't go through the General Staff, send a telegram directly to the marshal. ”

"Haha, I'm not stupid." Cao Wenzhao slapped the chief of staff with a smile.
