PS: I'm sorry to be busy with work lately, but I'll be fine in a few days.

....................................................................................

The news of the recent European war has dominated the front pages of major media outlets, especially the news of the fall of Paris again, which has made the front pages of major newspapers. China's "China Daily", "Fuxing Daily", "China News" and other state-run newspapers all carried the news of the German army's entry into Paris on the front page, and many domestic newspapers used the photo taken by Dongfang Yuan on the same day of the German army entering the Arc de Triomphe as a front-page picture.

The outbreak of war in Europe may be a tragedy for the European people, but for the two spectators, China and the United States, it is undoubtedly the happiest thing. In particular, the high-level executives of conscientious public and private enterprises in China and the United States are dancing in ecstasy with the blue sky on their heads, and they are happier than celebrating the holidays.

For these conscientious onlookers, someone else's war is certainly good, but if one side kneels too quickly, it will be bad, very bad, very bad. From the point of view of these conscientious capitalists, if the war ends too quickly, it is definitely not a good thing, and it will be a lot less money!

Besides, it would not be in everyone's interest if the Germans won too easily. As a result, China and the United States invariably began to pull the strings.

The Gallic chicken couldn't hold it anymore, and was emptied of the blood groove by a critical hit from Erdezi, and suffered a lot of negative statuses, and his body was full of debuffs. But don't worry about it now, there are two super nurses in China and the United States, just milk it, continue to fight.

Especially in the United States, they were afraid that they would not be able to make money if they played freely, so they hurriedly gave a big milk to France, which was about to kneel. They can't sit still more than China, because the new policy of Cactus Ghana a few years ago is a lot of debt, and they point to making a fortune from the European war to fill this huge deficit equivalent to the revenue of the United States for more than ten years. The Chinese government does not have this kind of debt repayment pressure, and the mentality is much more relaxed, but in order to make more money, it can't let the Gallic chicken fall like this.

How did they do it? Specifically, to help France open a second base. At least half of the industrial area was occupied by the Germans, and the Paris region was the most elite territory in France. The main base is occupied, so it is not possible to open the second base. Otherwise, with half of the country's industrial zones occupied, it would be difficult for France to hold on, even with more foreign aid.

Fortunately, France is the second largest colonial power in the world, they have a vast colony in Northwest Africa, and it is just a Mediterranean Sea away from the French mainland, which is also a good distance. So China and the United States directly bought factories to France, in order to allow France to use them as soon as possible, and even sold hot engines, that is, directly packaged and shipped the entire domestic production plant to Northwest Africa, and then assembled and debugged as quickly as possible. Of course, these factories must not be more advanced factories, and they are basically to be updated.

Businesses in both China and the United States were overjoyed. Nonsense, if someone pays double, triple, or even five times the price to buy equipment that you are about to scrap or replace, this kind of good thing is rare to encounter, and everyone is happy to meet it.

Under the operation of the two super nurses, a steady stream of equipment and supplies poured into French West Africa and North Africa. The Germans also learned this time, although they had already sent submarines into the Atlantic, and there were German and Italian fleets in the Mediterranean, but they still did not dare to make a move against the transport fleets of the two countries. China is their biggest supplier, and the United States is also a big supplier, so they must not be offended. Besides, the fleets of the two countries did not go directly to the French colonies, but to the African territories of the United States or the three West African countries, as well as the Spanish colonies, and there was no excuse for interception.

If you take a tough action and anger China and the United States, it will be a lot of fun, and the Germans will remember the lessons of the First World War very well. Mustache is a very practical person, he takes risks when he should take risks, and he never takes risks when he shouldn't. At least before dealing with Britain and France, he will never take the initiative to provoke the two big monsters of China and the United States, even if he knows that these two are giving blood transfusions to the French, he also pinched his nose and confessed, pretended not to know, and gave the army a death order not to take the initiative to attack targets in China and the United States.

China and the United States not only provided France with a large amount of ready-made equipment and materials, but also rented a lot of people, mainly engineers and skilled workers, because France's population was already insufficient, and now the old nest has been blown up by Erdezi. If they were to rely on themselves, it would be difficult to establish an African base in a short period of time. Yes, there were quite a few people in the French colonies, but it was okay for those people to be cannon fodder.

In addition to helping Gaul chickens open a second base, China and the United States also hurriedly transported a large number of ready-made weapons to help the French arm the colonial troops. Everyone knows that the French Foreign Legion has always been known for its ability to fight, but few people know that the French colonial troops are also very capable of fighting. Of course, not all colonial troops can fight, and this force that can fight is the Juaf Corps, a North African colonial force mainly composed of Algerians. Since its formation, this unit has performed excellently, and it has carried the hair in the Crimean War without falling behind, and it can be regarded as one of the most capable colonial troops in the world, much better than the three soldiers of the Opium Niu family.

At the same time, the supplies were urgently transported to France through Spain. Spain is currently governed by the Socialist Coalition Party, and yes, this Socialist Coalition Party is a scientific socialist party that was propped up by Moonheir. The coming to power of the Spanish Socialist Coalition Party means that China's influence has infiltrated old Europe, and although it is still only a corner of southwestern Europe, it is much more convenient to interfere in European affairs. At present, China and the United States are using Spain as a springboard to send a steady stream of weapons and supplies urgently needed by the French.

The Gallic chicken, which was sucked by China and the United States, finally did not prepare to surrender as soon as Paris fell, as it was in the original time and space. Of course, in addition to the strong support of China and the United States, this is also related to their current ruling party. At present, the ruling party in France is the "National Front," and this "National Front" is, to put it bluntly, the fascist party in France, which is formed by the union of several small far-right parties, and was originally not conspicuous. During the French Revolution the year before, the party was supported by several big capitalists in the country, and launched an armed struggle with the French Communist Party and other ultra-left parties, and took advantage of the situation to rise.

We all know that although fascists are very funny, their combat effectiveness is still relatively strong, at least in terms of the will to fight. In addition, with confidence, the Gallic chickens did not kneel directly like the original time and space, and after they recalled, they moved their capital to Bordeaux, relying on the main forces on the north and south, and continued to fight against the Germans. However, because the middle was divided by the Germans, the north and south had to fight separately.

As a matter of fact, the weapons and equipment of the French are no worse than those of the Germans, and the level of some weapons is even higher than that of the Germans, and the training of the army and the quality of officers and men are not much worse than those of the Germans. No matter how you say it, he is also one of the big hooligans, one of the six top powers in the world. The front is so embarrassed, mainly because the Germans are hanging, they were caught off guard, and they were completely stunned.

The French army on the northern front, with the support of the British Expeditionary Force, blocked the Germans south of the Seine and the Oise, and the French army on the southern front blocked the southward advance of the German army with the Loire River.

In the last few battles, the French army, which had a good taste, still performed well, and fought back and forth with the Germans. In the Battle of the Alps in early September, the Italians who wanted to come and pick up the bargains were beaten to the head. Mussolini began to see that the Gallic chickens were beaten to the point that even the capital Paris was lost in less than a week, so he was overjoyed, thinking that the Gallic chickens had become pestilence chickens and looked like they were being bullied.

So, as soon as Mussolini got excited, he sent fifteen divisions to pick up the bargain. Unexpectedly, the Gallic chicken, which looked like a good bully, suddenly turned into a fighting. The spirited Itali kicked the steel plate like he did twenty years ago, and was by the French who were not wanted. The Italians, who were bent on picking up bargains, got headlong into the ambush circle of the French, were wrapped in big dumplings, and only three of the fifteen divisions came back, and five were crippled, and the rest either went to see Caesar, or were in the French prisoner of war camps, well, the latter made up the majority.

The loss of this one exceeded 150,000 people, and Mussolini was frightened on the spot, and while defending the Alps, he hurried to ask for help like the boss. That's right, the French did not behave at the beginning and could only be described as bad, but that was because they were not in the state, but Mussolini didn't want to think about it, even if the French hit the street again, they wouldn't be able to bully.

The same is true for North Africa, this time according to the internal division of labor of the Central Powers, the coalition forces that landed in Libya are mainly Italian troops. In the first half month, the British and French North African garrisons were taken advantage of by Italy because they were caught off guard and their numbers were small. At its best, the Italian army achieved most of the ##尼斯和利比亚的西北地区 and occupied Tripoli and ##尼斯等重要据点.

But when the French came to their senses, the Italians soon revealed their true form, and they once again showed the demeanor of their pig teammates. The organized French colonial troops cried, but the Zhu Afu Corps was an army that could fight against the fighting nation Mao Zi without falling behind, and it could be called a fighter in the green, and of course it was no problem to be sluggish. As a result, by the time of the re-tour in September, the Italis, who had been defeated in successive battles, were almost driven into the sea by the Algerians. Now the Italian army is divided between ****** and Tripoli, and is struggling to support it with the support of the navy and air force.

The British were relieved to see that the French had finally survived this most dangerous moment. If the French were to be chopped up by this Hansyan's three-plank axe, then their lives would be very sad. You know, once France kneels, the British Isles alone can't stop the two Germans who have beaten chicken blood, and Ireland next door to them is an ally of Germany, and it will hang under the siege of three sides.

Since the beginning of World War II, the situation has been full of twists and turns, and there have been several unexpected twists and turns since the beginning of the opening, which made the audience addicted.

..............................................................................

September 20, Republic 2780 (1939). Buckingham Palace, London.

Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Army General William Edmund Ironside, was talking to Chamberlain about his plan: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, we must settle Ireland first, otherwise we will be very passive with this nasty fellow behind us!"

The commander of the expeditionary force, Admiral John Verrick (Viscount Gott), also helped: "Your Excellency, if Ireland is not settled as soon as possible, we will not be able to spare too many men to fight in France. The situation of the French was now very dangerous, and if the Germans occupied Calais, the Germans could directly threaten the kingdom itself. ”

"Well, Ireland must be in our hands. But we are now undermanned, Ireland now has 20 divisions, and there are 6 German divisions. We are again a landing operation, and we need at least the same number of troops to guarantee victory over them. Can we draw 26 divisions now?" Chamberlain is also a veteran politician, how can he not know the disadvantages of being attacked by the enemy, but he is also very entangled now.

There is only one reason, the number of troops is insufficient. Britain now had only 45 standing divisions, 15 of which were deployed in various colonies, 10 divisions in Belgium, and only 20 divisions on the island of Britain on its own soil, most of which were understaffed. Although after the start of the war, they activated the emergency plan and carried out the expansion of the army, but this took time, whether it was the formation of new troops or the transfer of troops from other places. It has only been a little more than a month since the war began, and even if the British have great ability, it is impossible to conjure up dozens of divisions.

Although most of Ireland's 20 divisions are also recruits, after all, they are only a small country, with a total population of only 3.3 million, and it is already the limit to be able to mobilize 20 divisions. In fact, before, according to the understanding agreement between the two groups, Ireland could only maintain five divisions in peacetime. It was true at the beginning, Ireland only maintained five divisions, but this kind of thing can be exploited, and people have a bunch of militias and reserves, and this is not limited. By the time the war began, the militia had become regulars.

Of course, Britain is not afraid to fight Ireland, and they still have that confidence. Besides, Ireland's 20 divisions are very watery, even if there is no shortage of weapons, but it is impossible for such a small country to keep all the militia at the training level of the regular army in peacetime, so except for the five standing divisions, the other fifteen militia converted divisions are not very combative.

But the terrible thing is that in the months before the start of the war, the Germans secretly transported six genuine German divisions to Ireland, and they entered Ireland in various capacities, under the pretext of travel, business trips, study, family visits, etc., and these six divisions were the elite.

But if you don't fight, you can't do it, and having Ireland next door is like having a knife in the back of the UK. Of course, if Ireland is only an army, anyway, there is still a channel in between, and it is impossible for Ireland to fight a little bit. But what is even worse is that the Germans also deployed a powerful air force in Ireland, nominally the Air Force of the Kingdom of Ireland, but in fact, eighty percent of this force from top to bottom are Germans, but they have Irish nationality.

How do you get a good night's sleep in the British? It's like a thorn in the back. Now that half of the Royal Air Force and the Continental Army are defending Ireland, the already overstretched forces are even more insufficient.

In fact, according to the plan of the Germans, Ireland will not take the initiative to attack, it is a pawn to contain Britain. Of course, this is limited to the Army, and the Air Force can still act on the opportunistic. The Irish navy is a formality, not to mention it, but their submarine base is a fatal thing, and with Ireland as a supply and maintenance base, German submarines can attack directly from here without risking passing through the English Channel or detouring from the northern route.

So to fight Ireland! must fight! Resolutely and definitely, and must fight! If you don't fight, you are not British!

But how to fight is also a problem, although the narrowest part of the North Channel is only 20 kilometers, but Ireland is also prepared, they have set up a large number of fortification groups in several suitable places for landing, and now there is air force support, and it is definitely not an easy thing for the British to land in the past.

Even if you land, it's troublesome. With the centuries-old feud between Ireland and the United Kingdom, especially the great #famine # famine in Ireland that year, almost every family died, which can be said to be a deep feud in the sea of blood. If they want to fight the British, they don't need to mobilize at all. Needless to say, in the spirit of defending their country and taking revenge, the Irish will never fight the opium cow.

A group of high-ranking British officials and generals began to argue about this. That night, they came up with a rough plan. Yes, Ireland is indeed difficult to fight, but no matter how difficult it is, it has to be fought, and it will be even more difficult to fight if it is not fought now.

Hankyung.

The news that the British were ready to do so was quickly sent to Wende's desk, and it was less than two hours before Chamberlain made the decision on the "Thunder Operation".

"What, the British are going to do something to Ireland?" Wendesi smiled, "Well, that's right. If Ireland is not dealt with, they will be in a passive situation of being attacked from the back, and their determination is commendable. But are they enough?"

"If it's not enough, you have to fight. "According to intelligence, they prepared a deception operation, using newly formed troops and militias to pose as regular troops, to divert the attention of Ireland in the North Channel, and then to land the main force of twelve divisions from St. George's Strait," Singer said. ”

At this time, Cavour also said: "Mr. Wen, the Entente has proposed to urgently purchase a batch of planes, combat vehicles and artillery from us. Several of the models they specify are our active models......"

"That's no problem, these of our current service are about to be replaced, just sell them to them. Both Wen Deji and Xin Jie laughed.

Several military bigwigs are even more smiling, and Kaizi wants to help us pay for equipment. Fight, now if you don't fight, it will be even more difficult to fight.
