On the border between Gibraltar and Spain, British soldiers lined up neatly under the leadership of officers. On the opposite side of them, there is a sparse line of Spanish troops. Compared with the British army, the formation of these Spaniards is undoubtedly very scattered. It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of these Spaniards is worrying.
Moreover, the British army has thousands of soldiers, while the Spanish army has less than a thousand soldiers.
However, the Spaniard looked arrogant, as if he had won a big victory. Similarly, the British soldiers also looked beaming. It made this scene very funny.
Under the leadership of the officer, the British soldiers handed over their weapons. Rifles piled up like a hill. Light machine guns and heavy machine guns, lined up in a row. There are also all kinds of artillery, which are also neatly arranged in front of the queue.
"Your Excellency, the time is almost up. We have withdrawn from Gibraltar according to the agreement between the two countries." The British Governor of Gibraltar, Grad, smiled.
Though, surrendering to the weak and incompetent Spaniards seemed like a lifelong shame. However, compared with his own life, this is undoubtedly a big advantage. If the Germans attack Gibraltar at that time, the thousands of troops stationed in Gibraltar will not be able to resist the German attack at all. At that time, not only these officers and soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. If it is not done well, even he will not end well. Where can it be like now, after Gibraltar is handed over to the Spaniards, they can get away very easily.
As for whether the Germans will break out in thunderous fury and use force against Spain, it is beyond his consideration.
"Okay!" The Spanish general Major General Donald said with a bitter face. His troops were closest to Gibraltar, so he was sent to take Gibraltar. However, Major General Donald didn't think it was a good job, and he didn't want to offend the Germans. If this causes the Germans to become angry and a war breaks out, the consequences will be very serious. At that time, his troops will definitely bear the brunt and become the target of the German attack.
Major General Donald has already made up his mind. After recovering Gibraltar, he will send a little army to garrison here. And he himself went back to the barracks. He even wanted to escape to Spain if possible. Years of experience in the military career told Major General Donald that this time things were definitely not that simple. If it is not done well, it will be dangerous.
The British army lined up neatly, crossed the border, and left Gibraltar. They will go to the barracks arranged by the Spaniards. After the impact of this incident is over, they will leave Spain and go to Canada.
The Spanish army entered Gibraltar and took over the defense here.
Not far from Gibraltar, a fleet flying the Iron Cross flag is sailing. This fleet is the Mediterranean Fleet of the German Navy. The commander of the Mediterranean Fleet is Lieutenant Admiral Maofu, a general who has made a lot of contributions during the decisive battle with the British Navy and the expedition to the island nation. Of course, his hard work is now paying off. Not only was he promoted, but he also served as commander of a larger fleet.
On the battleship 'Helgoland', the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet, Vice Admiral Mauf was looking into the distance. They are not far from Gibraltar, and it is estimated that they will be able to arrive in half an hour.
Vice Admiral Mao Fu is quite satisfied with these capital ships of the fleet. The seven capital ships of the Mediterranean Fleet are four "Helgoland-class" battleships and three "Moltke-class" battlecruisers.
Of course, this is not the 'Helgoland-class' battleship and 'Moltke-class' battlecruiser built by the German Navy before, but the 'New George V-class' battleship and 'Glorious-class' battlecruiser built by the British .
After being defeated by the German Navy, the British Navy was unwilling to fail, and formulated a crazy shipbuilding plan in an attempt to build a group of powerful capital ships so that they could regain their maritime advantages.
But it is a pity that even if they sell the iron, they have not been able to complete the construction of these battleships. Most of the construction of the 'New Iron Duke-class' battleship, 'New George V-class' battleship, 'Prestige-class' battlecruiser and 'Glory-class' battlecruiser has been completed, and the outfitting has also been completed. It's almost done. But at that time, the German Army landed in Britain. Coupled with the lack of materials, the construction of these warships had to be stopped. After Germany occupied Britain, these warships fell into the hands of Germany.
After Germany towed these warships back to the local shipyard, they quickly made improvements, and then worked overtime for sea trials. Let these warships enter the fleet to serve to make up for the lack of sea power of the German Navy.
Of course, the capital ships of the German Navy's home fleet are composed of four "Kaiser-class" battleships and four "Brandenburg-class" battlecruisers. That is, the British Navy's "Lion-class" battleship and "Hood-class" battlecruiser. Only half of the construction of these two battleships has been completed, and it will take at least more than a year to complete the construction. Therefore, the local fleet is currently only supported by some small and medium-sized warships.
Fortunately, the German navy is now very powerful, and other countries dare not provoke Germany at all.
"Let all the ships get ready. After the fleet arrives, use the main artillery to bombard the fortress of Gibraltar. Anyway, the fortifications built by the British in the fortress of Gibraltar are also outdated. After we capture Gibraltar, we will rebuild it!" Lieutenant General Maofu ordered.
"Yes, General." The communications officer immediately went to convey the order.
"It seems very interesting to use a warship built by the British to attack the British fortress!" Lieutenant General Maofu murmured.
The German officers and soldiers who heard Lieutenant General Mao Fu's words couldn't help laughing.
Indeed, aren't they using warships built by the British to attack British fortresses now? It has become a joke that the British Empire has fallen to this point.
"General, an urgent telegram from Berlin!" At this moment, a staff officer reported.
After Lieutenant General Mao Fu read the telegram, his face was already very ugly.
"Command the fleet, stop the action, and stand by on the spot!" Lieutenant General Maofu ordered.
"General, what happened?" the officers asked.
"The Spaniards have taken over Gibraltar. What to do next, we have to wait for domestic orders!" Lieutenant General Mao Fu's face was ugly, and the Spaniards were obviously taking food by the mouth of a tiger.
