Imperial Overlord - Chapter 1228
“Just received a telegram from London… Now, we have no reason to continue…” Looking at Mountbatten, whose face was somewhat gray, Elizabeth said helplessly.
On the orders of her father, King George VI, she fled to India with the fleet, where she formed a government in exile, and continued to maintain the British anti-German attitude.
But with the passage of time, everyone discovered that it seemed that the original enemy of the Axis powers, which was very far away, was now at their doorstep.
No matter how persistent it is at this time, it will be futile, so Elizabeth has such a dialogue.
The mobilized troops are still on their way, and they will run into Rommel’s eastward marching army in Iran. On the premise that there is no barrier to rely on, this pieced together force is likely to be wiped out by Rommel in Iran.
The best plan is that the army of the British government-in-exile, after entering Iraq, will fight against the Axis Middle East Corps who are waiting for work. In the end, it will also be unable to regain Baghdad, an important strategic fulcrum.
“The German side just sent a message to my father. It was a top-secret telegram, but the Germans gave it to my father. Obviously they always knew that my father had the ability to contact us.” Elizabeth looked at Meng Barton didn’t speak, he could only bite the bullet and continue.
She then handed Mountbatten a note: “The Axis fleet has returned to the Mediterranean…a day from now they may pass through the Suez Canal.”
This is absolutely shocking bad news. Although Phillips’ fleet has just achieved a great victory and morale is high, this fleet is completely unable to compete with the huge Axis fleet.
The other party has several aircraft carriers and a huge fleet of several battleships. Even if the number of them is piled up, it is enough to pile up the British fleet in the port.
In terms of speed, Phillips’ fleet is no match for Germany’s cutting-edge fleet – if it could outrun the German fleet, the British home fleet would not have been fooled around.
In terms of technology, the German fleet with radar and modernization and refit is obviously more advanced than the Phillips fleet with severely aging equipment in exile in India.
Even if it is the air force combat aircraft guarding the port, India’s air power is not comparable to the fw-190t carrier aircraft on the German aircraft carrier.
So, as long as the Axis fleet entered the Indian Ocean, the British government-in-exile’s Phillips fleet had nowhere to hide.
The Phillips fleet had avoided attacking German transports before, and was afraid of facing the current situation.
It’s a pity that, no matter how they escaped, the German fleet came, and this time, it came with great momentum!
There is no escape, there is no escape, Elizabeth and several of her staff have to face a very practical problem – the Germans from far away have called, and this time they are coming!
“I’m really sorry, Your Highness! I didn’t bring you a great victory.” Mountbatten apologized a little lonely.
He really wanted to do something in India to help the British Empire rise from the ashes again and keep the throne of world hegemony.
It’s a pity that he really can’t compete with the Axis powers that are already powerful enough to make people fear. Even if he tried his best, he had no strength to break free from the shackles of fate.
“It doesn’t matter, General! It was originally a kind of insurance for two-sided bets. Now that my father’s side is closer to victory, there is no need for us to persevere.” Elizabeth squeezed out an embarrassed smile and spoke comfortably. Mountbatten Road.
On November 9th, I don’t know if the weather has changed because of history. The first heavy snow in Moscow fell from the sky, and the Russian winter finally came.
Because the preparations were very good, the first-line German combat troops had sufficient cotton clothes for winter, and the soldiers did a good job of keeping warm, and there was no frostbite accident.
The Soviet defenders, who were counting on a heavy snow to repel the German army, lost part of their troops and gave up part of their positions due to insufficient preparation.
After all, the weather is not aimed at one party, but everyone on both sides of the war. So, the side that is well prepared will win the battle against the weather.
On November 13, American bombers greeted the Japanese defenders on the islands near Indonesia. The overwhelming 400 B-17 bombers allowed the Japanese defenders to see what it means to destroy the world.
On November 20th, the United States landed on Sulawesi Island. Shimada, who had just been promoted to the commander of the Japanese Army Air Forces, died in battle, and Colonel Iijima retreated to Kalimantan with the remaining troops.
On the same day, Japan dispatched General Ushimamanto to the Philippines, and together with Yamashita Fengwen, who was defending Kalimantan Island, held the vital southeastern defense line together.
On November 25, the Axis Middle East Corps under the command of the newly promoted General Alfred ~www.mtlnovel.com~ occupied the entire territory of Iraq.
Subsequently, on November 29, Mountbatten, a representative of the British government in exile, arrived in Baghdad. The two sides negotiated the surrender and finally reached an agreement.
On the third day of the signing of the surrender agreement, after ordering all Australian troops to withdraw from India and return to Australia, Elizabeth took Mountbatten and Auchinleck to surrender to Rommel who had just returned to the front.
As the British royal family, Princess Elizabeth has the right to pardon, and the head of the Third Reich personally approves the document pardoning Elizabeth. With this document, the Axis side will drop all culpability for Elizabeth’s insistence on the anti-Axis in India.
And on the same day, December 2, the Luftwaffe dispatched the largest number of ju-118 bombers in history, taking off from an airfield near Rostov and bombing the Soviet Baku oil fields.
A full 700 ju-118 bombers flew to the Baku oil field in 4 batches. In order to avoid the interception of Soviet fighter jets, these bombers generally fly above 10,000 meters.
At this altitude, the engine performance of the Soviet fighter jets dropped, and the aircraft seemed to freeze, unable to intercept the German bombers at all.
Therefore, after paying the price of losing 21 bombers, the German bomber group successfully bombed the Baku oil field, which the Soviet Union depended on for survival.
The bombing destroyed at least a quarter of the Baku oilfield’s production facilities, reducing the field’s production capacity by 30 percent.
If it weren’t for the inaccuracy of high-altitude bombing and bombing, this bombardment might have destroyed the entire Baku oil field. However, the victory in front of him has been very brilliant, at least after Stalin knew the news, he threw everything he could in anger.
