(There are a lot of things a while ago, and I am quite troubled. I will insist on typing and updating recently. I will update every two days. After all, the ending is coming soon, and there is no need for eunuchs. It is indeed annoying.)

One of the important reasons why General Liu Gengyun insisted on not giving more assistance to the French Free Army was General Charles de Gaulle himself, which was actually something that General Charles de Gaulle himself did not understand.

The situation in France is now very embarrassing, but under the insistence of General Charles de Gaulle, the French Free Army still maintained a special nature and refused to accept the command of General Liu Gengyun and Britain.

The serious disagreement with General Charles de Gaulle made General Liu Gengyun unwilling to regard France as an important force.

The Chinese are very real. If you have the ability, you will be the big brother. If you don’t have the ability, you will cooperate with the main force. If you don’t have the ability, you will also want to maintain the status of France in the past. Where is such a good thing in the world?

Everyone can think that their motherland and nation are the greatest in the world. The point of view is not important. What is important is that the point of view requires strength to prove it.

After the inspection in Morocco, General Liu Gengyun continued to take a special plane to Ethiopia, and met with Liu Yazhaozhong, the commander-in-chief of the African Military Command here. Liu Gengyun is still very familiar with the situation in Ethiopia and is more familiar with the situation of the Italian army.

Faced with Lieutenant General Liu Yazhao, who might agree to the army's battle in Egypt, he had only one suggestion, that is, "bold attack."

Just as Liu Gengyun was preparing to continue his trip and return to China to report to Emperor Song, the Central Military Intelligence Department had already obtained the exact news. It was determined that the Italian army might launch a large-scale attack on Tunisia in the near future, with the target directly targeting the French Liberal Government.

Even after obtaining this information, Liu Gengyun continued to take the opportunity to return to the country.

From Ethiopia to Beijing, this was a 22-hour air force itinerary. On the evening of the next day, just as General Liu Gengyun's special plane arrived at the Capital International Airport, almost at the same time, the Italian army launched an attack on Tunisia.

...

In the past half month, the Central Military Commission has been convinced that China and Germany declared war may be in the near future, and the specific time is unknown. But more and more evidence and intelligence can prove that Germany believes more in its tank and armored forces.

. And constantly dispatched the main force to go south to France, setting up a two-line commando position outside the border between France and Spain. Spain, with the support of the Imperial Army and the French army, deployed a large-scale solid defense line on the French border.

Block the German attack.

If Germany still wants to continue to expand its war results and power in Europe, its only option is to continue to attack Spain, Sweden, and agree to the army to move south to the Balkans.

Germany was crazy about continuing to expand. It proved the world leadership and dominance of the German nation, proved the supreme status of Nazi Germany in the world, and China strictly restricted Germany's expansion, which was a fundamentally irreconcilable contradiction.

The empire has made final preparations, waiting for Germany to violate the imperial ban and formally declare war on Germany.

When General Liu Gengyun's special plane arrived at the Capital International Airport, the military headquarters officially confirmed the latest news. The Italian army sent two armored brigades to assault into the Gulf of Gabes in Tunisia, trying to cooperate with the Italian Navy to capture the entire Tunisia.

A few hours ago, the Imperial Central Military Intelligence Department had received an early warning telegram, and Emperor Song had been waiting for the final confirmation in his office.

After experiencing too many ups and downs, Emperor Song had already been calm at this time and there was not much in his heart that he could care about.

In his office, Emperor Song was quite focused on a summary report on recent intelligence about Nazi Germany. The intelligence officers lurking in the Nazis sent a large amount of intelligence back to their country. It has now been confirmed that Germany is massacring Jews on a large scale.

Extremely crazy.

After reading this information summary, Emperor Song took off his reading glasses, wiped them with a soft velvet cloth, placed them on his desk, and lit a Yuxi cigar and started smoking silently.

This is obviously a very tragic thing.

Anyone who is pitiful actually has hateful things, and vice versa.

The office seemed very busy, and there were all kinds of footsteps in the corridor. Many people seemed to be very anxious, almost like running fast in the corridor, and various departments were also chaotic.

Intelligence and information handle various matters.

Emperor Song had a very clear world map in his mind. On this map, the Imperial Defense Forces formed a four-sided layout in Ethiopia, the Tatar Republic and surrounding areas, Spain, and Iraq. The troops withdrawn from Japan were directly divided into two batches.

The stationed in Africa and the Middle East formed a four-point standoff with the Emperors who had previously deployed in the Iberian Peninsula, Tatars and Kazakhstan, cutting off all expansion routes of the German-Italy Polish alliance.

This is a full-scale confrontation between the German-Italy-Polish Steel Entry and the Sino-British-French alliance in Eurasia, and the confrontation between China and Germany will ultimately determine everything.

Emperor Song was thinking about all this in his heart. He hoped that the empire could use its real strength to fight a head-on battle with Germany, eliminate the main force of the German army through conventional wars, and then use nuclear weapons to end the war ahead of schedule.

From the prediction of the confrontation between head-on wars, Emperor Song felt that the probability of the Imperial Wehrmacht defeating the German army was still very high, and could usher in an overwhelming victory.

This is a possible result.

He smoked a cigar silently, thinking about the various possible situations. From the current perspective, the battlefield that was most beneficial to the empire was in Russia. He launched a large-scale frontal attack from the North Caucasus and the Volga River Basin to eliminate the German army.

The main forces deployed on the Western Front and joined forces with France to defeat the Italian army on the African battlefield, the outcome of this world war will no longer be suspense.

This is his idea.

President Chen Jiayou walked in quietly, bowed and saluted to Emperor Song, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Liu Gengyun has arrived. Will you meet him now?"

Song Biao nodded and said, "Let him come in."

Chief Chen Jiayou bowed his head and agreed and immediately withdrew from the General Office.

After a while, General Liu Gengyun, dressed in military uniform in the army, walked into the office accompanied by another first-class eunuch, Jiang Shoulin. He handed over the saber he carried with him to Jiang Shoulin for safekeeping, and continued to walk forward and bow to Emperor Song.

He saluted and said, "My minister Liu Gengyun meets Your Majesty."

Song Biao looked at him very normally, signaled him to sit down at his desk, and said, "It's a coincidence that you came here. If you stayed in Africa, you might be able to help Lieutenant General Liu Yazhao deal with the Italian army... Well

, the news that the Italian army has attacked the Tunisian team. You should know too."

General Liu Gengyun seemed to be not very concerned about this matter. He replied: "The Yi army is just like that, Lieutenant General Liu is enough to deal with them. I really don't need me to stay and help him."

Song Biao nodded in agreement and said, "That's true. Italians are a bit stupid. They can do anything. They are just not suitable for war. It's really a very special nation and country. The glory of ancient Rome is gone forever."

Speaking of this, he added to General Liu Gengyun: "The empire has decided to declare war on Italy, what do you think?"

This was also under Liu Gengyun's expectations. After all, the empire now only lacks one reason to participate in the war. Even if this reason is not convincing, as long as the empire can participate in the war with justification.

Having said that, China and Germany have been preparing for this for a long time, and there is nothing to surprise each other.

Just fight.

General Liu Gengyun just asked with Emperor Song: "When will it be declared war?"

Song Biao replied: "It's enough today. The only doubt now is whether the Spanish garrison can block the German attack?"

General Liu Gengyun thought about it and replied: "The work that should be done is almost done. Although it is difficult to stop it for too long, the problem will not be too big within three months. If the Italian navy and air force can be eliminated as soon as possible.

, it would be better if the Mediterranean passage is opened."

Song Biao thought for a moment and said, "You try to find a way to hold on for half a year. In half a year, the war will end."

Immediately, he continued to emphasize: "The commander of the European battlefield is in your hands, so you should think of more solutions."

General Liu Gengyun said: "That's all, Britain and France are not controlled by me at all, and the troops I can mobilize in Europe are not enough to confront the German Army's forces on the Eastern Front. I thought it would be better to let the French Free Army be

If the consent army continues to fight, and when the Italian army attacks Egypt, we declare war again, take the opportunity to occupy Egypt, and take control of the Suez Canal in our hands."

Song Biao nodded and agreed, saying, "Your idea is more reasonable. I don't have much opinion here. You can go and talk to the Central Military Department as soon as possible to clearly discuss your ideas and come up with one within the National Defense Committee.

Fixed opinions come out.”

General Liu Gengyun nodded and said, "Yes, I'll go and handle this matter now."

Song Biao thought about it and sighed apologetically: "I originally wanted you to rest in China for a while before returning to Europe, but now it seems that I can't do this."

Liu Gengyun didn't care about this matter and said, "It is the duty of a minister to serve the country, and the emperor does not need to worry about it."

Song Biao nodded slightly and signaled that Liu Gengyun could go to the General Staff to discuss first.

...

At this time in Ufa City, Russia, the Northwest Alliance of the Empire had launched a large-scale general mobilization of the entire army to make the final preparations for the upcoming full-scale military offensive. Zhao Tingzhu and Wei Lihuang's five main armies and three preparations were prepared.

The army group was ready to go. Just by waiting for the central government to give orders, the 1.78 million army would immediately break through the Volga River from Kazan, Samara and Volgograd, and launch a full-scale offensive against the German Western Front troops on the opposite side.

Nazi Germany and Poland are stationed in the western part of the Volga River, and the total number of troops stationed in the Caucasus region is close to 2.7 million. Compared with the Northwest Alliance, there is an absolute advantage in the forces of the two sides. In terms of equipment, there is no absolute gap between the two sides. The only gap is in the air force and equipment.

In terms of quality.

From Kazakhstan to the Republic of Kazan, the Empire deployed 27 air divisions, equipped with the latest J6 jet fighter jets and the latest improved models of the J4\5, G3 series fighter jets. The Empire's self-propelled missile vehicles and ballistic missile wells were also deployed in large numbers behind the battlefield.

.

In Kazakhstan, Xinjiang and Novosibirsk, the Empire also retained two main armies and three new armies, and will enter the battlefield within one month and cooperate with the main force to launch a decisive battle.

The advantage of the empire is that the German-Polish coalition forces were deployed separately, and the Polish troops were mainly concentrated in the rear of Ukraine and Russia. The German troops were concentrated on the front line. In fact, in the decisive battle of the first-large scale, the only thing that would really fight the Northwest coalition forces of the Empire was the 1.27 million German side.

The German Central Army Group organized by the military, as well as the vassal forces around the army group.

Germany's total active troop is 9.5 million, while the Empire's total active troop is 7.2 million. Germany has theoretically reached its limit of its own force. If it continues to expand, it will pose a threat to the normal operation of German society, and the Empire can continue to do so.

Easily double the number of troops, maintaining the ultimate force at a scale of 15 million.

Of course, the empire could not do this. Because violent soldiers are not difficult, the difficulty is how to maintain the combat strength of new troops and new recruits.

The current plan of the Central Military Department is only to increase its military strength to 10 million by the end of the year. This is the maximum military strength expected by the Empire, which will ensure that the Empire will pay more military expenses to purchase more advanced military equipment.

Germany guarantees a considerable gap in military equipment.

Once a war starts fighting, you will always use whatever you have.

When General Liu Gengyun arrived in Beijing and confirmed that the Italian army had attacked Tunisia, the commander-in-chief of the Northwest Alliance, Zhao Tingzhu, and Chief of Staff Wei Lihuang, were really excited.

The two of them were discussing the next military operation all night. The troops were not superior on the surface, but they had enough missiles in their hands. The expensive missiles had unparalleled tactical value and could attack everything behind enemy lines.

Whether military units can effectively hit the target is one thing, and one goal is one.

The key is that the air force has an absolute advantage. Most of the German air force is concentrated on the Western Front to compete with the British army. Although only one-third of the Imperial Air Force is deployed on the Northwest battlefield, it maintains an absolute advantage over the German army in terms of quantity and quality.

At this time, the Volga River Basin was at the best time of the year. It was neither cold nor hot, there would be no large-scale rainfall, the ground was vast, it would not become muddy, there would be no large-scale mountains and hills, as long as it would be

After crossing the wide Volga River, there are large plains on both sides.

This is a suitable area, a suitable season, and is right for a truly world-class battle here.

The airplanes of the Chinese and German armies are constantly circling and patrolling the cloudless sky, alerting each other to each other. Both sides continue to send spies and reconnaissance planes to explore the opponent's military deployment and surrounding terrain conditions, and to use military map information as much as possible.
To be continued...
