Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1172 Greece?

"Yes, sir!" The communications soldier suddenly stood up and responded.

Andrew absolutely never expected that the troops he led would encounter such a fierce attack from the enemy under such circumstances. He almost subconsciously realized that this sudden ambush was definitely not something that the Greek People's Army guerrillas could launch.The dense white smoke lines that appeared in the air vividly explained what kind of weapon the enemy was using to launch the first wave of attacks.

The Chinese autumn wind rocket launcher is enough to make any army under its cover tremble. Now, this powerful artillery is used on this hapless British army.

The deafening explosion rang through the entire mountain range almost instantly, and clusters of flames rose amidst the explosion of flesh and blood and mud, and the originally quiet and peaceful mountain road turned into a hell on earth in an instant.

"The Royal Tank No. 12 regiment on the back waist is over!" Looking at the billowing smoke, Andrew lamented in his heart.He saw with his own eyes that the tank on which Captain Edward was riding was hit by a rocket on the turret, and the stream of flames enveloped the entire tank in the blink of an eye.Then, before the flames rose completely, another rocket exploded on the left armor of the tank. The huge explosive force threw the tank in the flames into the air, trembling, almost turning over on the spot. fall.And when it finally fell into the dust again, the original mobile fortress made of steel had been completely reduced to a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron.Obviously, in this case, anyone in the tank would have no chance of surviving.

"Quick! Stay away from the road and retreat to the woods! Communications, communications, contact the air force immediately, we need air support, we need air support!" Andrew understood that at this time, he was still stuck on the road where the target was too large. It is very unwise to go up, so he made a decisive decision and issued an order to his troops.

However, the troops that were hit suddenly fell into chaos, and the soldiers looking for hiding places were in a mess. Some rushed into the woods, while some lay down in the depression by the roadside, and some of them were still in a daze. On the road, trying to rescue those comrades who are unable to move due to injuries.

But it was futile to try to hide there, because less than 10 minutes after the shelling started, these bewildered New Zealand soldiers were horrified to find that on the hills and jungles directly in front of them and on both sides, Countless soldiers wearing gray uniforms and holding Chinese-made submachine guns and rifles rushed towards them, shouting something loudly.

"My God! It's the Chinese! The Chinese are coming!" Looking at the enemies rushing from all directions, Andrew knelt down on the ground without any image.

At the moment when he fell to his knees, there was only one thing in Andrew's mind, and that was how many of these soldiers he had brought out from the country could go back alive.

The Prime Minister said well that through the war in Greece, the bottom line of Chinese patience in European geopolitics can be tested. Now everything has been tested, but the British Commonwealth will pay a heavy price for it.

"China's tens of thousands of troops have secretly advanced into Greece. The No.70 Ninth Infantry Division, No.40 Fifth Mechanized Infantry Division, and the Independent Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division of the Balkan First Front Army are at Isas at the southern foot of the Pindus Mountains. Valley, encircle and annihilate the No.20 Ninth Independent Mechanized Infantry Division of the British Army." Such an astonishing news spread wildly around the world at an even more alarming speed. The Washington Conference, billed as a grand event for peace, has just ended, and a series of issues of the Atlantic Charter have not yet been finalized, yet this new war broke out again.what does that mean?What is the inside story hidden in this?Will the world move towards peace in the future, or will it lead to a new and larger war?These are questions people want to know. An army of more than 1 people was destroyed in an instant. This is probably not a small matter for any country. Even if the British do not retaliate, they will definitely seek revenge from the Chinese. a statement.

When the news reached the United Kingdom, the entire British Isles exploded. Just the day before, various newspapers in the United Kingdom were still publishing the news that the Commonwealth of Nations had become the final winner through the Washington Conference. What they reported overwhelmingly became the news of the disastrous defeat of the British army in Greece.Almost every British person is swearing at the Chinese for their treachery and viciousness. Among the swearing, some voices are louder, that is, they should immediately declare war on the Chinese and use more violent attacks to fight back. Such a despicable practice by the Chinese.

In the face of sudden attacks from the Chinese.Britain, headed by Churchill, also responded quickly. On the second day after the end of the battle in the southern Pindus Mountains, Churchill got in touch with French President Charles de Gaulle.For a long time, the iron-blooded Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has been a pure anti-China and anti-communist. He has deep prejudices against any form of autocracy and socialist trends.It was under his lobbying and persistence that Britain did not hesitate to invest a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to interfere in the domestic revolutions of many European countries, including Greece.In Churchill's view, autocracy and communism are poisonous seeds that can grow rapidly and spread rapidly.As long as you give it even a little space to survive, it will quickly spread to the whole world.Therefore, since the end of World War II, Churchill has been preaching the containment of China and the Soviet Union.Today, not only has his thinking not changed, but it seems to be getting worse.

In the conversation with Charles de Gaulle, Churchill sought the views of his allies on the other side of the ocean on this matter. At the same time, he also hoped that France could first provide support to Britain in terms of public opinion and put pressure on China through diplomatic means.Force them to release the captured British officers and soldiers unconditionally first.On the other hand, Churchill also hoped that the United States could formally intervene in this matter and transfer the troops originally repaired in Africa to Greece to support the British army in the war there.

After all, he was a long-term ally, and de Gaulle agreed to Churchill's first request without hesitation. He claimed that he would get in touch with the Chinese leaders in the shortest possible time, and use the most severe and threatening words to send a message to Churchill. The opponent exerts pressure.But for the issue of directly sending troops to Greece, de Gaulle did not make any promises.After all, war is not a trivial matter. It is obviously not a wise decision to go to war with China, which is currently at its peak in military power.What's more, although de Gaulle is the president of France and has the power to declare war to the outside world, but then again, this war needs to be supported by money, and in the political structure of the United States, the power of national financial allocation is in the hands of Congress Therefore, if the French president wants to launch a war abroad, he must first obtain the consent of Congress.

Today, with the end of World War II and the Sino-American War, the axis forces of Germany, Japan, and Italy have finally been uprooted, and the United States has almost been beaten back to the Stone Age by China. The dawn of international peace has just appeared. According to the terms of the peace talks, it is time for the forces representing the interests of the large arms dealers to back down. France needs peace at this time and needs to shift the main direction of the country's orders to post-war construction.Therefore, de Gaulle believes that under such circumstances, even if he proposes a new war plan again in Congress, the chances of it being passed are definitely quite low. If he fails, he, the president, will be caught in an embarrassing dilemma.

Be careful, be careful with all this!

After some consideration, de Gaulle, who felt more and more that the situation was not good, decided to convene the think tanks to study this issue carefully and see what kind of method can be used to make this turmoil pass peacefully. It is best It can make the Chinese bow their heads a little bit, and at the same time, keep the British from getting too entangled in this issue.

On October 10th, the first rain of this year fell in Beijing in late autumn. The rain was not heavy, but fine and dense.

In the Forbidden City, which symbolizes the core of China's highest power, Guan Xuqing is holding a meeting of the Supreme Command.Earlier, he received a call from thousands of miles away. The President de Gaulle, who seemed to be concerned about the country and the people, talked with him on the phone for nearly two hours.During the two-hour conversation, de Gaulle's only purpose was to put pressure on China, hoping that China could withdraw the dragon army that entered Greece and hand over the affairs of Greece to the British, thus counting it as a crime against them. compensation.

Although de Gaulle said everything in a very tactful manner during this period, trying not to make the other party feel unacceptable, Guan Xuqing still showed his tough stance on the phone.According to his words, that is, there is currently a trend of anti-government forces in Greece.The so-called provisional Greece, fostered by the British, is implementing brutal, dark, and authoritarian communist rule in its country.Just during May of this year, a bloody incident that shocked the whole world erupted in Athens, and after that, the evil spirits still showed no signs of stopping. They hunted, persecuted, and killed all over Greece to oppose its autocratic rule and demand peace Democratic Chinese progressives.As a country that has persisted in fighting against corruption and saving world peace, China will never and will never allow a similar corruption regime to appear in this world again.
