Chapter 676: Spanish Prime Minister Franco's Roar
"Tell me about our casualties!"
"Is this the new missile of the German army? They are more powerful than the V1 and V2 large rocket missiles! ”
Viscount Gott was shocked as he watched the fortifications of the 2nd Regiment that had been bombed by the German Scud missile swarm, destroying half of it.
And those officers and soldiers who received the count of casualties were also in a panic and immediately cleaned up the battlefield and counted the number of deaths of officers and soldiers.
And at this moment, at the Prime Minister's Mansion in the northwestern suburbs of Madrid, Spain.
A group of high-ranking Spanish officials were in Francisco Franco's conference room, attending an emergency operations meeting.
"According to the information we have received, the German army is conducting an air raid on the English Channel this evening, and it is also conducting amphibious landing operations and airborne operations! Now the British troops in the English Channel have suffered heavy casualties, and if there are no supporting troops, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out there! ”
"What do you all think about this situation? Do we still want to dispute with Germany over the sovereignty of the port of Ceuta? And falling out? It has always been our important overseas colonies, France can't take it, Britain can't move our colonies, but now that Germany's hungry wolf is coming, what should we do now? ”
When all the invited Spanish high-ranking officials gathered in the combat conference room, Francisco Franco immediately scanned the entire conference room with a majestic glance of the high-ranking officers of the navy, army and air force.
But after his words fell, the whole audience was silent, everyone stared at each other, and no one wanted to be the first to stand up and make their own suggestions.
The reason is very simple, because the current German army is attacking the English Channel with great momentum, and even the British army, which has always been relatively strong, has no ability to resist at all, and is like a lamb to the slaughter by the German army to be suppressed and annihilated.
Since the current war situation is so bad, if Spain endures the humiliation of the port of Ceuta being occupied by the Germans, and goes to war with the German army, I am afraid that it will encounter the thunderous retaliation of the German army, and then Spain will be in danger.
I am afraid that even the Spanish mainland will be invaded by the German army by land, sea and air, especially air raids.
That is to say, if any of them boldly proposed to unite the British and American forces with the German army to go to war, then once the defeat against Germany was achieved, their responsibility and fate would be miserable.
So for Francisco Franco's questioning now, no one wants to be the first to stand up and answer.
"What's wrong with you? Have they all become mute? ”
"After the Germans occupied the port of Ceuta, didn't you get emotional and shout for me to show the Germans some color? Isn't it to recapture our port of Ceuta by force? ”
"But why are you so timid now? Why not say a word? Are you afraid of the Germans? ”
For the dead silence of the audience, Francisco Franco suddenly gloomy, and his eyes scolded sharply.
For his invective and outrage, all the Spanish high-ranking people did not dare to take a breath and remained silent.
And also made Francisco Franco scold all the time, venting his anger.
"I don't care what you think, if no one gives me good advice today to take back the port of Ceuta from the Germans, then none of you should continue to be in your current official position, and remove me from my post!"
Finally, Francisco Franco roared angrily.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister! I think we might be able to negotiate with Hitler what we could exchange for our port of Ceuta colony, which would be better than using force to go to war with the Germans! ”
As soon as the words fell, the diplomat Ban Disi immediately stood up and proposed.
"I feel that it is better for us to join forces with the British and American forces to wage war against the German army, because Germany's industrial capacity cannot be compared with that of the great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union! And now the German front is too long, and they will eventually be defeated by Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union and other countries, just like in World War I! ”
Then an army general also stood up timidly and said.
"I also support the Army's proposal, because the current German army is fighting on the eastern and western fronts, and such a situation and an extra-long front are not something that Germany with scarce natural resources and limited industrial capacity can confront and defeat!"
Then one of the admirals also stood up and echoed the army general.
Since then, there have been peace factions and militant factions, and even neutral factions and factions have jumped out like clowns to express their respective proposals.
For the sudden surge of the performance atmosphere, Francisco Franco, who had just finished his anger, his face eased slightly.
But soon he had an idea in his heart, in fact, if he wanted to unite the British and American forces against the German army right now, and engage in a full-scale tearing battle with the German army; He wouldn't be so stupid.
Although he also really wanted to take back the port of Ceuta immediately and use it back as their colony, the current German army was still quite powerful, and once he fought with them now, I am afraid that the Spanish mainland would definitely be retaliated by Chen Yanlong's large-scale air raids.
