Battle of the Third Reich

Viscount Wood was trained as a heir to the family from an early age, and received an elite education from Eaton College. He obtained parliamentary seats when he was young. He has a wealth of experience in overseas positions and military service. It is a model of British noble parliamentarians.

Therefore, in front of such a person, verbal tricks and traps are useless, because when it comes to diplomatic deception, who else in the world can match the cunning British.

The British have long figured out the cards in the hands of the Spaniards, and are not worried about the other party's daring to turn their faces.

At that time, the German iron hoof was ruining the French land, the Alps channel was cut off, so Madrid surpassed Zurich in Switzerland in one fell swoop and became the largest spy distribution center in Europe. At least about 10 groups of spies were active in the city every day to explore various Military and economic intelligence, of course, is indispensable to the intelligence elite of MI6.

The Spanish government will not become clean because of the dictatorship. Especially in the case of a global downturn, Spanish bureaucratic habits are deeply rooted, and government officials are as corrupt and greedy as ever.

The copy of the diplomatic document carried by the general Montrose is now placed in Viscount Wood’s briefcase. The British spent only two thousand pounds on it, and the new Spanish ambassador to Germany has no secrets at all.

Spain’s internal affairs fell into a quagmire, but the British did not care about this. They only paid attention to issues related to the core interests of the empire, such as the British maritime rights and interests of the Mediterranean.

Gibraltar is the forbidden name of His Majesty the King. It’s okay for Germany to put a foot on it. Whoever makes the German’s fist so hot, but you don’t know what to do in Spain.

Since the opening of the Mediterranean route, it has never been so valued by the imperial courts and oppositions as it is now. The colonial route is now equivalent to the lifeblood of the country. Only by keeping these routes open, the blood drawn by the empire from various colonies can be continuously transported into the blood vessels of the British Isles. in. At present, any attempt to threaten the safety of the Mediterranean route will trigger the most intense reaction from the British government and opposition.

The British Mediterranean Fleet transferred some of the backbone to return to the local office, but the fleet is still in place. The Royal Navy has retained a high-mobility fleet consisting of two heavy cruisers and six light cruisers to maintain the safety of the Mediterranean route and show the Empire. The existence of sea power.

If the Mediterranean has become the inland sea of ​​the European Union, the surrounding area is either an ally or a colony, and what threats come from, after all, the British are defending Spain.

In fact, more than a British family staring at Spain, France also kept a distance from Spain, because the port of Ceuta on the other side of Gibraltar is still under the control of the French army, and the French government is obviously not prepared to return it to Franco. .

If you are dissatisfied, you can send troops to take it. The French navy that retains 70% of the troops makes Marshal Betten feel full of confidence.

The French Army is also rebuilding at an alarming rate. If the war is just over, the whole people should be in a war-weary and anti-war mood. In theory, they cannot recruit volunteers.

But who is President Betan? The old traitor can be used as a commendatory term on him. The old marshal who has experienced two wars is very clear that the French people are actually "simple", as long as they still trust the government, Politicians can instill into their minds all the ideas they need.

What else can be used to scare them now, except for the group next door who likes to walk, they are now allies of France.

It seems that overnight, various French broadcasts, various literary publications, and various tabloids. Lace gossip is spreading out all the literature, and the whole country begins to frantically promote the "wrong theory".

It seems to be exactly the same routines that used to be in Germany. Let’s say that the French should be smarter this time, but the results are beyond the expectation of all observers. For ordinary French people with generally low education levels, these tricks are still very much. Works.

Books related to Southeast Asia are sold out on the market, a large number of so-called historical research and analysis articles are competing for publication, experts and professors in large and small colleges are doing their best, and it is surging on the radio.

So the soldiers who were originally going to retire and were asked by the government to complete the rest of the military service Security of my family.

The military academy began to absorb a large number of young freshmen, a group of outstanding soldiers were promoted to non-commissioned officers, a large number of active officers were sent to Germany for further study, to learn the new German tactics and equipment use methods, the French army's goal is to build a strong reserve The Corps to deal with the imminent battle of attrition.
