Just a week ago, he moved his temporary camp to this cruiser named "Anim". Since then, this fairly spacious conference room has become his "private site" with Ollie. This conference room has been simply arranged around, and the most eye-catching one is the large fixed sand table in the center of the conference room. The whole of Western Europe is miniature in this sand table, which is the blue Biscay and the west of Gibraltar, all the way to Risdon, Portugal, and the farthest from Spain.
From this pair of sand tables, it can be seen that the Bay of Biscay and Gibraltar are all German naval sites, while many Italian warships are moored on the east coast of Spain, while the six places in Spain are not so divided. The Italian footprints have spread all over half of Spain, but the signs indicating the Spanish anti-government armed forces are very vague-no one knows exactly where they will tie the main force.
Ollie has a stack of black and white photos in front of him, and he is studying one of them carefully with a magnifying glass in his hand.
"I think that to complete such a raid and annihilation war, the Spanish armed forces need less than 10,000 soldiers and they have many cannons!" It took Ollie a long time to let go of the photo. Speaking of it, it was an aerial photo that had been enlarged. It was taken two days ago when a unit of the 11th Infantry Division of the 6th Army of Italy was raided. Because the fighting was over, the photo of the camp was not seen. The Spanish armed forces could see the bodies all over the ground, the burned camp and the equipment abandoned by cars.
"hmm!" Chen Tian simply expressed his approval.
right after
Ollie added, "Judging from the terrain of this camp, the Italian commander did make a mistake-underestimating the enemy, and the Spanish also told the world through this battle that they are not only a group of guerrillas who can drill trees, but also have the strength to fight big battles and win battles!"
"It seems that in the last two months, the Russians didn’t send them less supplies! Rifles, machine guns, submachine guns, all kinds of guns and ammunition, and a powerful rocket launcher! This also says from one side that the Soviet Union and Russia have developed rapidly in military technology in recent years! " Chen Tian immediately posed for his own analysis.
"The pursuit idea is really high. Lend the Russian hand to give the Italians a loud slap, but compared with Italy or Spain, I am still more worried about Russia! After all, a unified and powerful Russia is a great threat to Europe and world stability! " Ollie leaned back and looked at the big sand table and said
"Our count has also analyzed things politically!" Chen Tian nodded approvingly. "It is true that Soviet Russia is a potential enemy, but I firmly believe that we can have the deterrent force that can avoid the new world war earlier than them! At that time, we will defeat them by another non-violent means! "
"Nuclear weapons? I hope so! " Although I have heard the word from Chen Tian’s mouth more than once, Ollie still finds it difficult to connect it intuitively and imaginatively.
"Now, when the Italians quit, we will re-seal the Spanish coast. Saving Alfonso XIII is a very difficult task, just like waking a person who is about to die. It requires very high medical skills! Although this is very tiring, we would rather have such an old country as a neighbor! "
This is a great abacus.
"At the same time, we can test our various weapons through this battlefield and constantly improve them. By the end of this war, we will maintain an advantage over other countries in the technical field for ten years!"
This is Ollie’s little plan.
"When does the count think our Italian neighbor will announce his withdrawal?"
"Autumn or winter! What do you think? "
"According to the current progress, I’m afraid it will be after autumn! But we can also give them some catalysts to make them give up earlier! The best thing is to make them feel painful and heartbroken! "
Chen Tian holds Ba with one hand and looks seriously thinking.
"You shouldn’t be staring at the Italian treasure …" Ollie deliberately widened his eyes and what he called "treasure" was the two battleships "Rome" and "Caesar" in Mussolini’s offensive.
"Only the brave are qualified to challenge!" Chen Tian said intently, "Our intelligence officer has brought good news. A batch of navigation engines and torpedoes will be delivered to the northern port controlled by the Spanish anti-government forces in the near future. Although we don’t know who these equipment are going to deal with, I think it will be a good opportunity!"
"Pursuit meaning …" Ollie had guessed seven points in his heart at this moment.
"Leave light destroyers, minesweepers and offshore patrol boats to block the 15oo-ton ship in the south of Biscay and temporarily withdraw to brest! There are also ships deployed near Gibraltar. From now on, we must upgrade the defense level of the Gibraltar base and the Malaga base to the effective defense range of the 6 basic aviation units and aircraft carriers, and send fighters to patrol! " Chen Tian put his hands on his chest and said confidently, "In that case, there will be few targets left for the Spanish rebels to choose from!"
Two people orthogonal talking about the door was gently rang.
"Marshal Yu has come from Berlin to express his secret!"
"Come in!"
Chen Tian and Ollie, two smooth operators, have already reached the level of staying calm. Taking this opportunity, they both took the large glass in front of them in midsummer, and both of them drank cold beer-this is definitely the favorite of Germans in summer.
However, after receiving the newspaper sent by the communication officer, Chen Tian’s face changed little by little. Just now, "sunny" was gradually replaced by a serious expression. After reading this slightly lengthy newspaper carefully twice, he rarely threw it on the table.
"Hum don’t see that romantic, can brush brush plot ramirez or such a number! What should I say? Er … No amount of intelligence officers can figure out other people’s family affairs! "
"oh? There are things that our German intelligence department can’t grasp? " Ollie picked up that newspaper, and now there are not many things that can change the mood of this profound German emperor, because it seems that he has everything under control all the time.
"Are we intelligent or are the Spaniards too secretive?" Chen Tian himself has such a problem with himself.
In his impression, Germany has always lacked that kind of first-class spy. Although Germany’s intelligence network is large and deep at present, its efficiency remains to be investigated. The main reason is that this nationality is simple and stuffy, and it seems to be stupid in some aspects.
Ollie read the newspaper once and said earnestly, "There won’t be any danger for the two temples in Seville. Do you want to dispatch troops to our embassy to strengthen the alert? Or directly send troops to escort the two temples back to our military base in Gibraltar? "
"Is it necessary for the German Empire to make such a mess?" Chen Tian is so disdainful at this moment that the Spanish dare to confront Germany? Don’t say that he is happy to have the support of Italians, but he can repeat the military action of "striking Austria-Hungary" on the Apennine Peninsula-now Germany is stronger and more advanced, but Italy is far less powerful and deeper than Austria-Hungary.
"Pursuit meaning …" Ollie wanted to think, but he didn’t speculate.
"Our emperor will go to dinner on time tonight!" Chen Tian smiled strangely.
"Oh?" Ollie was a little confused, but soon figured it out and laughed with him. I can imagine that when those Alfonso XIII and Ramirez see Anderes again, the expression will be very interesting.
Soon an encrypted newspaper was sent from "Anim" to Berlin, and then Berlin sent a newspaper to the Spanish embassy. The German ambassador to Spain prepared a car at the first time after receiving this newspaper and went to Al Cachard Palace to see Alfonso XIII.
Almost at the same time, another urgent letter was sent to the German commanders in Malaga and Gibraltar.
At that moment, the piercing battle alarm resounded through these two bases, and they were ready to be dispatched urgently. The effect of good training and tireless exercise of each squadron in a state of war was vividly reflected at this moment. The whole base was full of nervous but not flustered figures. The first-line fighter pilots appeared in their respective fighter cockpits in five minutes, and they in Hawk were also able to fight when they were called and flew. Second-line fighter pilots and bomber pilots rushed to their squadron battle command rooms at the first time.
A large number of well-trained ground crew members acted immediately when the alarm sounded, like soldier ants. Some of them towed the fighters located in the ground hangar with tractors to the designated runway, while others put the fighters located in the ground hangar into a state of war as soon as possible. The refueling and bomb preparation equipment workers were skilled and did not stop. After half an hour, the second-line fighters and tactical bombers entered the waiting position. The long-range bombers were slightly slower in preparation, but they also completed all preparations before taking off in one hour.
Due to the strategic adjustment, in the last two weeks, Reed National Army 6 continued to transfer fighters and bombers from Tunisia, France and Germany, and Jiayuan was stationed in these two fighter planes. At this time, the two bases were able to upgrade more than 54o fighters, plus those fighters that had already taken off on duty and were under maintenance. Germany deployed six base fighters in Spain, and regardless of the quality difference of fighters, at present, the whole Spanish army was able to upgrade only 3o fighters, but the total number of Italian troops stationed in southern Europe and left-behind countries was not this figure!
The distance between Gibraltar and Malaga and Seville is about 15 kilometers, and the fastest German fighter plane can fly from the base to the top of the Spanish king in a quarter of an hour-Spain is not in the no-fly zone at this time, even if there is one, it is aimed at the weak.
An hour before the dinner in Alfonso XIII, the first batch of German fighter planes flew over Seville in neat formation. When citizens looked up, they could see the striking iron cross on their wings, and then watched in horror as their bellies almost flew over the roof.
Then the second batch of fighter planes and bombers flew over Messerschmidt, and Dornier from Seville in roughly the same neat formation, and the huge roar of the motive could be clearly heard from every corner of Al Cachard Palace.
After meeting with the German ambassador, Alfonso XIII has hurried to raise the dinner to the highest level. He can look at the dark German fleet through the window. His face and expression are very complicated, with a hint of uneasiness and a little panic in surprise. Is it the rebels that are more terrible?
Or the powerful "foreign aid" is more terrible. He has no idea at this time.
On his balcony, Ramirez’s face was calm, but his heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle. Although the German fleet didn’t throw a bomb, the momentum made everyone feel depressed and scared. Ramirez suddenly felt depressed about treating a group of German officers in the afternoon. Maybe the black lieutenant colonel and the young white major were far behind him, but they were backed by Germany. Although he was expensive in Spain, he couldn’t get a really reliable backing even if he took refuge in the Italians.
At 7 o’clock in the evening, Anderes Friedrich and others appeared at the entrance of Al Cachard Palace on time. Although the accompanying guards were less than 20 people, although the last batch of German bombers had just left, Anderes walked into the palace with his head held high and his chest held high. It was only when the Spanish king and foreign yuan came that the horn sounded. From the entrance of the palace to the banquet hall, the red carpet was paved all the way, and both sides were respectful. This kind of treatment was a far cry from the Spanish royal guards when they arrived.
Anderes’s ritual is still in daytime. Only members of the German royal family can wear a golden ribbon and a sword symbolizing the emperor’s identity. He wears a hat and walks in front of this group with strong pace. Walking in the rear position of Anderes, Friedrich is also dressed in a gold-inlaid blue and white ribbon of the German Sixth Army Major, which symbolizes his status as Duke of Bavaria and also wears a classical sword on his waist; General Von Budenbrok wore a ribbon while wearing a sword (he was not qualified to carry a sword when entering the palace). Lieutenant Colonel Ayo Mkwa simply didn’t even have a ribbon, but his clothes rack-like physique still added a lot to the body ceremony.
The moonlight is beautiful this night, but most people here still have the shocking scene of German large aircraft flying by. Anderes’s left hand holds the hilt and his right hand swings slightly with the pace. This time, all the gates in the palace are open by themselves. The linear distance from the palace gate to the hall is obviously much closer than the winding corridor. Anderes saw a group of Spanish ministers and generals at the entrance of the hall, with their heads held high. The ladies in gorgeous long skirts have no doubt that these people have been ordered to meet themselves. Some of them want to see the honor of the German emperor as soon as possible. But at this time, Anderes wants to see the ridiculous expression of that guy Ramirez when he recognizes himself. He wants to see his right hand but he doesn’t get a response. Embarrassed expression.
Twilight Chapter 22 Eternal Theme
"coming!"
Behind a lattice window in the corner of the hall, several aristocratic ladies wearing gorgeous classical long skirts and their favorite ornaments are peeping through the window to see the situation in the hall. Their shows with different colors are not rolled up like those ladies, but carefully managed into various beautiful ladies’ styles.
"Alas, I really envy why Aina can attend this party?" One of them said angrily that if the banquet had not been suddenly upgraded to the highest standard, they would be in the hall instead of the corridor on this side, but the highest standard is much more than the general standard, and everyone who is not qualified to live in this palace can attend!
"Yeah, she’s not interested in those German officers. It’s not … ah!" The other almost screamed as he spoke.
