Compared with Beijing's prosperity, London is definitely the most miserable capital in the world. All food and textiles are restricted. Most children have not seen bananas and sugar cane in the past two years, and the tropical agricultural products such as sugar and butter are even limited.

Great supply.

This is a black London.

People always wear black clothes and walk hurriedly from the streets with black umbrellas. Every day, they will encounter a large-scale air raid alarm. The harsh sound will sound throughout the city. Occasionally, there will be several air battles.

Erupted over the suburbs of London.

The Germans' planes are always untouched, but they seem to be able to be beaten forever.

Gentlemen would stop at the newsstand on the street with civilized sticks and take out two pennies to buy a newspaper. Unlike the previous two years, today's newspapers are full of news that China is about to participate in the war. If there is a newspaper

If you publish such news, it will always be sold out.

While Londoners were looking forward to it, the East Asian Free Alliance had already taken root in the northern suburbs of London. Almost all these East Asian Free Alliances were organized by the Air Force, and most of them were from China. J4\5\6 series fighter jets are flooding on a large scale

Entering Britain, he assumed the main force in fighting against the Nazi German army.

On the streets of London, there are more and more Chinese people wearing Royal Air Force uniforms every day. When there is no combat mission, they will also appear in the city of London in a hurry to handle some messy business.

Although the British have always wanted China to send troops, when they really saw the Chinese appearing in London, they felt uncomfortable again.

The UK is really too poor now. The government can only rely on large-scale borrowing and infringement of pounds to maintain its expenditures. The checks borrowed from China and the United States are often exhausted in a few months.

, and have to borrow money again.

They didn't even pay the loans for leasing fighter jets and aircraft carriers from China, and could only pay them out with newly printed government bonds that they had no idea whether they could be cashed out.

General Liu Gengyun has been appointed as the chief of the Chinese military in Europe. In the past two months, he has to travel between Britain and Spain almost every week. Sometimes, he has to fly to Morocco to meet with the French Liberal Government in Casablanca.

President Renault and General Charles de Gaulle, commander-in-chief of the French Liberty Army, provided new advice and support for them.

Every day, a large number of Frenchmen fled to Spain through the border and joined the French Free Army in Spain. For this reason, the Empire also continued to re-equip the French Free Army and provide them with training to ensure that these recruits can become suitable pilots.

gunner.

Although the French Free Army has reached a scale of 700,000 so far, in such a world war, they are becoming more and more like accompanying guests, without any glory.

France's surrender made the military industry invested by the Empire in France and modern industry become a new base in Germany. A large number of enterprises were cheaply merged by German industrial giants. As a retaliation, the Empire was also confiscating and searching all German assets in Asia.

The relationship between the two sides has dropped to the lowest point in history. Even after the war began, both sides have never been so hostile to their opponents.

Yes.

France's surrender caused heavy losses to the empire, and the empire's investment in Sweden and Spain began to become dangerous. After halting all trade with Germany, Germany had obvious intention to further attack Sweden and Spain. In Norway, Germany also restored the local area.

The heavy water refinery continues to produce heavy water, providing guarantees for Nazi Germany's nuclear weapons program.

Apart from Italy, there is really no more incompetent and stupid allies in France.

Even so, General Liu Gengyun still had to fly to Morocco and negotiate with President Renault and Commander-in-Chief of Charles de Gaulle on a new round of aid. General De Gaulle, who was eager to seek assistance, personally went to the airport in Casablanca to greet him and walked out of the special plane.

When he got down the escalator, General Liu Gengyun saw General Charles de Gaulle, who was definitely a very young person than him.

To be honest, Liu Gengyun doesn't like to deal with General Charles de Gaulle. In his opinion, General Charles de Gaulle is really a bit in a right position. Do you still think France is the former France?

Regarding the aid list proposed by General Charles de Gaulle before, General Liu Gengyun always felt that this person was really a bit ignorant of the current affairs or was too idealistic. Where is such a cheap thing in this world?

Especially considering that the French repeatedly refused his kind reminder, which eventually led to France's defeat, France surrendered without fighting, and the empire suffered heavy losses in France, General Liu Gengyun was full of too much annoyance to the French.

.

When he walked out of the plane, General Liu Gengyun tried his best to maintain that kind smile, even though he was too tired of these self-righteous French people.

He raised his hand to greet General Charles de Gaulle who came to greet him, and quickly walked down the escalator, shook hands with the new French commander.

Due to the needs of each other's domestic and international publicity work, the two must maintain this attitude of being dissatisfied with each other and smiled and asked the reporters and cameramen to take black and white photos.

No matter how hard the other party works, in the view of General Liu Gengyun, France has been completely eliminated in this increasingly cruel war, and giving France more aid is a completely unnecessary waste.

, This is his point of view, and he is also responsible for the military work of the European commander in the viewpoint.

As the highest military representative of the Empire and the Asian Alliance in Europe, his opinion is basically the Empire's decision-making.

This is the main reason for the serious disagreement between General Liu Gengyun and General Charles de Gaulle. Before that, General Liu Gengyun had rejected France's request for large-scale aid.

The two did not even take the same car to the headquarters of the French Liberal Government. After arriving at the French Liberal Government in Casablanca in a red flag sedan, General Liu Gengyun met President Renault accompanied by General Charles de Gaulle.

Journalists from China, Britain, the United States, France and other countries gathered here, and everyone wanted to hear the latest news from General Liu Gengyun.

Under the siege of reporters, General Liu Gengyun made a brief statement, showing the empire's support for the French free government and the hope that Germany and France will hold peace talks to promote the basic policy of restoring French peace and freedom.

After dealing with these reporters, General Liu Gengyun, accompanied by President Renault and General Charles de Gaulle, went to the president to hold secret talks in the temporary office in Casablanca.

The French opened the Governor's Office of the local colonial government as the presidential palace of Free France in Morocco, and retained the last French naval forces here. With the assistance of the Empire and Spain, the French Free Army seized two ships from the Vichy government.

Battleships and multiple destroyers formed the French Free Navy.

But in this era of aircraft carriers, these two battleships were not enough to guarantee the free France's status in the international world. Therefore, the French hoped that the Empire would assist the two aircraft carriers. Before that, General Liu Gengyun had approved the UK to lease four Northeastern-level ships.

He refused the aircraft carrier's aid request, but he did not hesitate to refuse the French request.

In President Renault's office, General Charles de Gaulle and President Renault soon talked about this matter, hoping that General Liu Gengyun would reconsider his previous French military aid request.

General Liu Gengyun listened silently to General De Gaulle's argument, as if he was listening carefully to the voices of his allies. In fact, he would not change his decision at all, because he concluded that free France did not have enough strength to control these aircraft carrier fleets.

He neither had this experience nor could he bear the expenses in this regard. If the Empire was finally funded and invested to maintain this aid to the French aircraft carrier fleet, he would rather continue to give such aid to Britain.

He just listened to General De Gaulle's argument, and opposite him, President Renault was silent.

General Charles de Gaulle's aggressive attitude of demanding President Renault to completely give up his supreme command of the military and to give him all the highest authority of the French Free Army to him, not only made President Renault feel helpless and weak, but also made Chinese allies angry.

General Liu Gengyun is such a person. He hates soldiers using this national disaster to seek the greatest real power, even if President Renault may not be a suitable candidate.

After listening to General Charles de Gaulle's statement, General Liu Gengyun was silent for a moment and suddenly asked President Renault, "What do you think, Your Excellency the President?"

President Renault replied for a moment, "Our request is reasonable, General Liu!"

Liu Gengyun replied mercilessly: "No, I don't think this is reasonable. France has neither experience and tactical training in this area, nor does it lack corresponding expenses. Instead of providing such assistance, we would rather send a fleet directly to North Africa, or

Giving more aid to the UK, balancing guarantees of military expenditure projects in war has always been an important issue."

After he finished speaking his opinions, what he left for the other party was endless silence and embarrassment.

This was an unprecedented shame for the French Empire, but it was not someone else who caused the shame today, but the great French nation itself.

After a period of silence, Commander-in-Chief Charles de Gaulle asked General Liu Gengyun: "Genius, what role do you think the French Free Army will play in this war that determines the fate of mankind?"

Liu Gengyun felt the counterattack in this question and immediately replied: "We support the French Free Army to play a decisive and greater role, but it depends on how much strength and fighting spirit you can gather. Commander-in-Chief, we should all understand.

Military depends on strength and courage to judge the level of military affairs!”

His answer made Commander-in-Chief De Gaulle lack room for rhetoric. This answer was very exquisite and full of diplomatic rebuttals.

Liu Gengyun's meaning is very simple. He did not see the strength of the French Free Army, nor did he see the courage of the French.

Seeing the other party speechless for a moment, General Liu Gengyun sighed with some emotion, reminded Commander-in-Chief Charles de Gaulle: "The goal of the empire is to ensure the final victory, not what you think is purely to restore.

France's ** and freedom, because the former can determine the latter, while the latter cannot determine the former at all. This determines our principle of supporting distribution, efficiency is always the most important, and a cent needs to be regarded as two cents.

Make every penny used by the empire in Europe come from the taxes of the people, so we must be more objective and loyal to the facts and the status quo and effectively use the taxes of the people, rather than decide based on the relationship between the two countries.

Support funds and materials allocation. To put it simply, we have better relations with France, but we can only support the UK more. This is a choice without choice. Our previous support to France was very positive. As a result,

How, you and His Excellency President Renault have also seen it."

Commander-in-Chief de Gaulle immediately defended: "That situation will not happen. What you see now is a brave and warlike French people who are trying to restore the country's highest state."

General Liu Gengyun no longer answered this question, but simply said a simple huh, waved his hand to signal that the issue was temporarily shelved. It was impossible for the empire to continue to provide more aid to France, especially on the issue of aircraft carrier formations, which was nothing.

Necessary for negotiation.

He understood that even in this case, the French would not give up their determination to catch up with the world military trend, but he felt that it should be spent on the French themselves, rather than relying on relationships to ask for free assistance from China.

Whether the French can catch up with the changes in the aircraft carrier era is a very important issue for the French, but it has nothing to do with the Chinese. As for the goal of relying on the French Free Army to fight bravely to liberate France, this matter

Perhaps only Commander-in-Chief Charles de Gaulle still has such beautiful assumptions.

How is that possible?

General Liu Gengyun no longer has any illusions about this.

His judgment was very simple. France now has no ability to become an important assistant to the empire in Europe. Apart from maintaining the French colony to continue to ensure the supply of war resources, the French Liberty Government and the Free Army had no other value.

The Empire is willing to sell four aircraft carriers to the UK because the Empire is preparing to replace a new generation of aircraft carriers, fully adopting jet carrier-based aircraft. The UK can at least pay a loan fee, and the daily maintenance fee is also paid by itself. What is Free France?

?

The world situation has deteriorated unprecedentedly. Nazi Germany has occupied almost the entire Europe. It is so powerful that it has no rivals except China. Without China participating in the war, it is not easy to talk about the free France, which is only based on Britain and 1/4 of its strength.

, Where is the opponent of Nazi Germany? If the Empire did not support the navy and air force and helped Britain maintain its maritime and air rights, even if Britain and Germany competed for losses, Germany could bomb the British mainland within half a year and wipe out the British.

All fighter planes were consumed.

Nazi Germany can now manufacture more than 400 short-range V1 missiles every day, and this number is increasing almost every day. Last month, the average number is still more than 300 per day, and this average number increases by 100 per day.

Many, it is expected that by June, relying on the industrial strength and resources of the European continent, Nazi Germany will be able to achieve nearly a thousand missile production capacity every day.

Of course, at this time, the German missile was a large rocket. Not to mention that the accuracy was not up to standard, the reliability did not exceed 40. If the weather was not good, it would be normal for the error to exceed ten kilometers.

In the case of difficulty in seizing air supremacy, this is almost the only way for Germany to threaten the British mainland.

With the technical information of aircraft carriers transferred from China before, Germany produced its first aircraft carrier. Like the aircraft carriers leased by China and the United Kingdom, they can only use propeller aircraft for the time being.
