London, New Buckingham Palace, VIP room, around the large oval mahogany table, sitting around are King Joachim I of the new United Kingdom, King Edward VIII of England, Crown Prince Louis of Germany, Crown Prince Otto of Austria-Hungary, Anjou of the Kingdom of Spain and Jaime, Duke of Segovia, as well as senior generals from Germany, the United States, Austria-Hungary, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom, and even two special military observers from Soviet Russia. With the exception of Scotland¡¯s ¡°head of state¡± Balliol, the people who can control Britain¡¯s destiny have basically arrived. "We can no longer tolerate the continued existence of a cruel, despicable and hypocritical dictatorship in Britain. Not only do they team up with the Japanese, they also invite the Japanese army In a few days, there will be an unprecedented war-fighting force in Europe. The Asian army came with a purpose!" Edward VIII, wearing a crown, spoke his unnatural English with a strong German accent and informed everyone present about the attitude of the Kingdom of England before the storm came. "No problem!" shouted General Anderson from the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff. "Congress has approved a special authorization. No matter how many volunteers the Japanese send to Britain, we will send double the best combat troops to Britain. "The security and stability of Europe do not need to be worried by American congressmen." German Crown Prince Louis snorted, but did not express more. "Your Highness, we have no intention of offending." General Anderson explained, "This move is not only to repay its allies, but also to enhance military exchanges between the United States and Europe. After all, war is the best platform to test and temper the military's combat effectiveness." " We very much agree with this view," Jaime, the second son of King Alfonso XIII of Spain and Duke of Anjou and Segovia, said in fluent English, and then he expressed the future of Spain in equally fluent German. It was a pity to be able to participate in the war against Italy. Most of the important figures present at the meeting made speeches. Natsuki stood up and said: "In another ten hours, if Scotland does not give a reasonable reply to our ultimatum, this punitive war will begin. We are confident that , controlling the time and space span of this war within a reasonable range, and pushing the military and political influence of the Allies to a new peak. "With no objection raised by anyone, the King of Ireland and Wales continued: " During the war against Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was responsible for the main attack on land, and we were responsible for the main attack on the sea. The cooperation was tacit and the results were ideal. This time, our combat plan is still a division of labor: the new United Kingdom dominates the air and sea blockade and firepower in the theater. In support and necessary amphibious landing operations, the Kingdom of England led the ground operations in the theater, with the full cooperation of the armored forces, artillery units and mechanized assault forces of the new United Kingdom. ""Your Majesty assigned the most difficult tasks to the English army." Edward VIII. He smiled and said, "In recent years, the military reforms of the English army have been quite effective, but they are still far behind the Irish army that has been tested by war. If possible, I think it is better to let the General Staff of the New United Kingdom To command the coalition's ground operations, our army will fully cooperate." When the King of England said these words, his expression was very sincere, but the expressions of his generals were not so good. In the political map of the British Empire, England has always been at the core, and in the British navy, army and air force, the officers are also dominated by English people. After the Great Split of Britain, England had the largest land area, the largest population, and the richest cultural and spiritual inheritance from the British Empire. Not only was its military strength inferior to that of the rising Ireland, it was also under the influence of Scotland in the late 1930s and early 1940s. This embarrassing position was fully reflected during the "Bayu Crisis". After suffering humiliation, the people and army of England finally put aside their prejudices against the new king and the new royal family. In the next few years, England's defense affairs were reorganized on a large scale and its military strength was greatly improved. Nowadays, the English have a complete northern defense system and an aviation force that can rival the Scottish Air Force. They no longer need to worry about the Scottish army deploying troops on the border. Having experienced two world wars and multiple regional wars, Natsuki has enough capital to still talk and laugh in the tense atmosphere of approaching war. He smiled calmly at Edward VIII: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Today's English army already has the ability to defeat the Scottish army independently. And as General Anderson just said, an army must go through the temper of war before it can truly defeat the Scottish army." To become stronger, the English army needs a chance to prove itself again! In fact, a strong and confident English army will be of great benefit to the stability of Britain and even Europe What do you think, Crown Prince Louis? He hesitated for a moment, and then responded with certainty: "Yes, Your Majesty, you are absolutely right." England.The commander-in-chief of the British Army, General Norton, who served as the commander of the British Army's 1st Infantry Division during World War II, stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Please rest assured, my lord, the British Army is ready for war. The troops are eager to fight and are determined to win." We are confident of victory." General Berlant, the commander-in-chief of the British Air Force, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, our fighters, bombers, anti-aircraft artillery units, and paratroopers are ready for war. As long as you give the order, we will Move forward bravely and never look back. " General Berlant was the ace pilot of the Royal Air Force during World War II. He had a glorious record of shooting down two German aces in an air battle. His statement was sonorous and powerful, which satisfied Edward VIII. nodded. Then, General Brown, commander of the English Navy, stood up. He looked around at everyone and said word for word: "Your Majesty, although your navy is weak, it has enough courage and belief to defend the country's coastline. Moreover, for hundreds of years, The pride of "fighting every enemy" will definitely continue. "During the British Empire, the navy was the pride and symbol of the country. Today, England's navy is the weakest among the three armed forces. Youdao says "Ten years of army, hundred years of navy". To rebuild a navy based on nothing but nothing, it does require considerable investment and long-term accumulation. "Good! Good! Good!" Edward VIII said "yes" three times in a row. It has been more than ten years since he took the crown of England. His family members and servants who came to Britain from Germany have long been accustomed to life in London. However, there is resistance from the English people internally and threats from the Scottish army externally. In the past ten years, they have Living in anxiety all the time, I was ready to flee back to Germany several times. It was not easy to persevere. Thinking about the helplessness and sadness of the past, and the frustration and unbearability of the past, he took a deep breath and said loudly: "As long as the soldiers of the three armies work together, we will definitely win this battle to rectify our name!" The King of England said with certainty, It seems as if this war has already begun and is irreversible. At this time, on the sea more than a thousand kilometers away, a huge fleet flying the plaster flag was sailing north along the route parallel to the west coast of Spain. In a few hours, it would enter Bes, facing the west coast of France. The bay is open. In addition to the escorting Japanese cruisers and destroyers, the crew also had many ships from other countries with unknown attitudes cruising around in their field of vision. They were like a group of malicious sharks, waiting for the right time to rush forward and wreak havoc. Bite prey. On the Japanese Navy light cruiser "Chikushi", Major General Hiroshi Uyei, the commander of the so-called "Special Transport Group No. 1", was looking worriedly at the sea in the distance. Not long after, Captain Kawashima Shichiro came to report: "General, it's confirmed that there is a Lister-class light cruiser in the enemy lineup. This type of cruiser is equipped with orbital guided rockets and can independently find targets regardless of rain or fog. Even in the dark, it can maintain high shooting accuracy, which can be said to be the natural enemy of traditional artillery warships. "Ueijing sighed: "When we approach the British Sea, we will definitely encounter more Listers and more. Their heavy aircraft carriers and carrier-based fighters, if they want, can annihilate our fleet in a few hours, and our blood will attract sharks from the entire Atlantic Ocean. " "This" "Don't pay attention to what I just said. If so, Mr. Kawashima, I am just sighing. Under the constraints of the "Emperor's Agreement", they will not attack us before we enter the British waters. However, the diplomatic ultimatum against Scotland has been issued. We will face the final choice of war or peace in a few hours. If war breaks out, we will definitely be blocked from the British Sea. If war does not break out, our soldiers will probably stay idle in Scotland for a few months, and then Captain Kawashima thought for a moment: "Oh! The enemy is so cunning!" Kamui patted him on the shoulder: "It is not a bad thing for the development of the Imperial Navy to see the current development of the powerful navy. " Kawashima stood up immediately: "Yes, General! But speaking of the development of the Imperial Navy, our heavy industry has been sluggish in recent years, and the shipyards have no work to do, and the government cannot allocate money to build new warships. The "88th Fleet Case" is unsustainable! General, is there no way to solve this dilemma? "Uekai pondered: "The way? The way is to provoke a war between Europeans so that they have no time to east. At the same time, it stimulated demand in the international arms market and created opportunities for Japanese military industry and shipbuilding. The war did start, but the Italians fell after not holding on for a few months. Ireland became the biggest winner of the war, and Austria-Hungary. The benefits were huge, and the Germans also gained a large military order. Japan seemed to be making no profit, but in fact it suffered a huge loss. Not only did we lose an important trading partner when Italy collapsed.??, and also cut off a shortcut to obtain advanced European military technology. Now it's Scotland's turn" Kawashima punched the railing: "How abominable! If we hadn't been blocked in front of the Suez Canal for several days, we would have arrived in Scotland by now! " Shangjing snorted coldly: "That was done deliberately by the Germans! When the "Emperor's Agreement" was signed, the Kaiser and the King of Ireland joined hands to curb our country's expansion and restrict our development. The reason why His Majesty the Emperor agreed to sign the Agreement was really a helpless act. However, we are thousands of miles apart from Europe. Even if we gnash our teeth with hatred, there is nothing we can do. Now, we finally have a rare opportunity for revenge. " After saying that, Shangjing changed his expression to a murderous expression: "Even if it costs the lives of all of us here, we will drag them into the water! ¡± (End of this chapter)
