Chapter 344: Joan of Arc!
Charles and Johnny overestimated the resistance of the British army, and did not expect the Irish to cooperate with the Mi army like that, and the island of Ireland was soon occupied by the Mi army under the cooperation of the inside and outside.
But fortunately, the three aircraft carrier squadrons of the Atlantic Fleet in Bactria set off from the Azores and Crete, escorting the three fleets of the British retreat from the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Mediterranean to the United Kingdom, all of which returned safely to Liverpool and Edinburgh on the British mainland, and also assisted the British Navy and Air Force in attacking the island of Ireland, and arranged for the Greek ocean-going fleet to transport various supplies to the British.
The alliance with the British, Bactria was also very rewarding, Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus in the Mediterranean, and all the British islands in the Indian Ocean were legally owned by Bactria from the point of view.
In addition, many African countries that belong to the British Commonwealth have now turned to Bactria in the hope of gaining the support of Bactria to keep their territory, and at the same time it would be better to occupy the territory of other African countries.
In this regard, Great Xia's request was to make them its vassals, and Great Xia could provide them with all kinds of weapons and ammunition to support them in their wars.
Some countries were unwilling, but some were willing, and these countries were naturally supported by Great Xia, and military experts were also sent to help train and command soldiers.
After Hong Xiaotian signed the treaty of alliance with the United Kingdom, he set up spirit shields in Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and other cities, as well as Dublin and other cities on the island of Ireland.
At the same time, 3 million ghosts were sent to take the young men and women of the island of Ireland during the night, and then 5 million ghosts were sent to take the young men and women in the British-controlled areas, and of course it was indispensable to control the British and Irish officials and high-ranking figures through the ghosts of the students.
Hong Xiaotian wondered why he couldn't find a person with high cultivation in the UK, could it be that the protector of Britain was gone, or had he abandoned the UK?
In Hong Xiaotian's view, that protector is likely to abandon Britain and support his original colony!
But it's also good to be able to send out 8 million ghosts who speak Chinese and believe in the Heavenly Religion, and at the same time gradually take control of the United Kingdom.
Now there are only more than 6 million male ghosts and more than 500,000 female ghosts left in the Haotian Continent again, but there are still many ghosts summoned by Peng Xinlan's women on various continents every night, so there is no worry about the source of ghosts.
The British campaign to retake the capital London continued, as did the campaign against the Irish and the Mi Army who assisted the Irish in the war, and Bactria as an Allied Power was now only responsible for providing supplies to the British, and no longer sent naval and air forces to the war.
Hong Xiaotian secretly met with the Kurdish leader, and Daxia will fully support the Kurdish cause of independence, but the condition is that all of them, regardless of gender, old and old, must learn Chinese and believe in the Heavenly Religion!
Because of the sudden strength of the Kurds, the Persian army has now switched to the Kurds, and the war with the Celestial and Turkic is no longer so fierce. Now that the Holy Army is invading West Asia, the Celestial and Turkic forces are now resisting the Holy Army, and they have not thought of a fierce war with Persia, and the Tripartite War has entered a period of calm.
In the blink of an eye, it was 22 August, and Joan of Arc, a female member of the French guerrillas active in the French Central Plateau, arrived at the port of Gibraltar in disguise.
This Spanish port, which had been occupied by the British for more than 200 years, would be transferred from Bactria to Spain from this moment on.
But on the condition that Spain exchange the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean near Northwest Africa, as well as the two ports of Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa, and at the same time, Spain will become a subject state of Bactria and be protected by Bactria like Portugal!
Because the armistice with Bactria had not yet ended, the Holy Army withdrew from all occupied Spanish territories, including the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, at the official request of Bactria in a formal request.
The main combat force of the Holy Army is the German Army, followed by the Dutch Army, as for Austria, Italy and other countries are weaker, and the armies in other control areas have not yet been integrated, and they really dare not confront the Daxia Army with 8 million troops in the western border area, six aircraft carrier formations in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic, and submarines.
Candace is now accepted as a righteous daughter by the king and queen of Spain, and she can be regarded as a Spanish princess, and today she attended the Gibraltar return ceremony with Ruan Jinxiang, Ruan Meixiang and Hong Xiaotian, and handed over various archives of Gibraltar to the King of Spain.
The king wept with joy at once, and although Spain had lost three African territories, he had recovered Gibraltar, which was considered to be the greatest disgrace to Spain proper, and had preserved its territorial integrity, and he felt the benefits of being a vassal state of Bactria deeply.
On the other hand, Britain, although it is allied with Bactria , but now the island of Ireland is independent, London and many large cities in the south are still in the hands of the Holy Army, it is estimated that without the help of Bactria , it will be difficult to recover London.
Joan of Arc, a French female guerrilla, tries to get close to Hong Xiaotian and get his attention, and she finally thinks of the best way, which is to beat him!
Joan of Arc took off one of her high heels and smashed it towards Hong Xiaotian, who was on stage promoting the teachings of Bactria culture and the Heavenly Sect in Spanish.
Hong Xiaotian just dodged this seemingly precise attack in a flash, and at the same time noticed the Joan of Arc who couldn't hide his heroic temperament even with heavy makeup.
At this time, the Spanish king's guard had already surrounded Joan of Arc, but Joan of Arc was not afraid, and she shouted and asked to see Hong Xiaotian, the Emperor of Great Xia.
Hong Xiaotian had already walked over briskly at this time, and at the same time probed Joan's mind, but he found that the consciousness of this twenty-year-old girl could not be detected at all.
In other words, her cultivation is even higher than herself!
But now this girl doesn't understand all this!
"Your Majesty Hong Xiaotian, please save us France!" Joan of Arc's tone had become extremely gentle at this time, and she was willing to give everything she had for France.
"Well, aren't you good in France? Aren't you already in good shape with a government that obeys the Germans?" asked Hong Xiaotian with a smile.
"No, we French are a heroic people, and we can never be driven to slavery by the Germans!" said Joan of Arc.
"Well, let's go inside and talk about this!" Hong Xiaotian pointed to the city hall not far away.
In a secret room at the town hall, Joan of Arc revealed her identity, hoping that Bactria would support the French guerrillas against the Holy Army, and that she was willing to give her twenty years of chastity.
"Hehe, Joan of Arc, you really underestimate me!" Hong Xiaotian continued: "Do I still lack women? Which of my women is worse than you? You are not a very beautiful woman!"
Joan of Arc thinks that she is also a little beautiful, but compared to Hong Xiaotian's women, she is really inferior to most of them, and the chastity she thinks is worthless in Hong Xiaotian's eyes.
Hit by Hong Xiaotian's words, he almost lost the courage to look at him, Joan of Arc thought for a while before slowly saying: "Although I am nothing special in your opinion, I am willing to give you my most precious things, isn't this the best reward I can give you?"
"Hehe, Joan of Arc, you're really wrong!" Hong Xiaotian continued: "What's special about yours is your bravery and indomitable spirit, and you didn't realize it yourself...... Well, I will ask the Great Xia Army to provide you French partisans with equipment for half a million people, as well as all kinds of supplies...... If you really can't resist the Holy Army, you can retreat to the Spanish side!"
"Ahh
"If it's okay, you can leave!" Hong Xiaotian was already giving the eviction order.
"Your Majesty Hong Xiaotian, can I kiss you?" asked Joan of Arc with a blushing face.
Hong Xiaotian shook his head: "No, I respect you, that's why I decided to help you, you can go back quickly......"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go back, Your Majesty, can you send me back?" Joan of Arc was impressed by Hong Xiaotian's selflessness, and now he had a new idea.
"Well, it should be possible!" Hong Xiaotian thought for a while, pulled up Joan of Arc, and then first appeared on the Haotian Continent, and two or three minutes later appeared in a big hotel in Andorra City on the border between Spain and France.
If it was other people who didn't cultivate, they would definitely not be able to stand this long-distance teleportation, and they would have closed their eyes and been dizzy. But Joan of Arc is not, she is a person with Eucharistic practice, but she herself is not able to activate it now.
"Okay, this is Andorra, it's a border city, and you're France from here!" Hong Xiaotian pulled Joan of Arc to the border, where a border checkpoint has now been erected, and new barbed wire and trenches are again covered around it.
"Your Majesty, our guerrillas are now in the Central Plateau region, which is controlled by the Germans and puppet armies, and I can't get through it at all!"
Joan of Arc actually has a way to return to the control area of the guerrillas, but with such a powerful person by her side, she can't help but think of relying on it, and she also has her own little abacus.
"Well, well, send Buddha to the west, and I'll send you back to your guerrilla territory!"
Although the armistice period with the Holy Empire Alliance had not yet arrived, Hong Xiaotian thought that he was not here to make trouble, so he didn't even set up an essence shield in London and other big cities controlled by the Holy Army, so he still set up an essence shield and pulled Joan of Arc into the air.
Feeling Hong Xiaotian's familiar aura again, Catherine, who was picking up perfumes and fashions produced by Hongtian Group and Yangzhao Group on the Champs-Elysées in Paris, was very excited, and at the same time very angry that Hong Xiaotian once again offended the airspace of the Holy Empire.
Didn't you say that there was going to be a truce? What are you here for?
After Catherine left the boutique store, she immediately flew into the sky stealthily, and finally stopped Hong Xiaotian and Joan of Arc in the sky above the Dom mountains.
"Who are you?" Catherine saw another woman next to Hong Xiaotian, who was not as beautiful as half of herself, and was dressed so tackyly, she couldn't help but ask angrily pointing at Joan of Arc.
Hong Xiaotian hadn't seen Catherine for more than two months, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw Catherine wearing a fashion jointly designed by Zhao Xue, Deborah, and Lima, and using the "Pretty in Pink" perfume developed by herself.
"Catherine, how were you doing last time?" Hong Xiaotian asked slowly, at this time he found a few great god cultivators coming towards him, and he decided to send Joan of Arc back to the territory of the guerrillas first.
Catherine was about to accuse Hong Xiaotian of punching herself ruthlessly and unjustly for that dragon and tiger beast, but when she saw that Hong Xiaotian had been falling, she was even more annoyed: "Xiaotian, you really ignore me?"
"We'll talk about it later!" When Hong Xiaotian finished speaking, he had already arrived in a deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist.
