"Call! Emergency call! This is the Chinese Air Force Silence No. 3. This is the Chinese Air Force Silence No. 3! 57 kilometers northwest of Crete, a large number of enemy planes were found! Suspected of airborne suspicion! Call, call..." "It's too late! Sit firm!" Before the British army in Crete answered, Liu Zhijun saw several bf109s and me110s rushing towards himself quickly. So he immediately accelerated the climb. The acceleration of the turboprop engine and the high-altitude performance helped him successfully avoid the danger. When the "Night Owl" returned to a height of 10,000 meters, a large cluster of mushroom clouds had already surged in Crete Island below.

At 5:12, hundreds of bombers from the 8th and 11th Air Forces of Germany carried out violent bombings on Crete's anti-aircraft artillery, airport and Allied bunkers, and even the escort fighter repeatedly strafing the ground with machine guns. In the parallel world, due to the deciphering of the telegram, Operation Mercury ended with a tragic victory in the German army. But now, because Yang Qiu's interceptor and the British super decoder are still developing, the Allied forces in Crete have not received any warning at all! It is conceivable how terrible the scene they need to face when the sleepy Allied soldiers are awakened.

A "hurricane" struggled to take off the damaged runway, but was then hit by the bf109 that was chasing him and crashed into the US B17 fleet next to him. Hundreds of US troops rushed into the sea of ​​fire, trying to destroy important equipment such as the Norton bomber on the plane. Before they could complete the mission, a harsh scream roared down from the sky. One after another, a series of bombs broke out from the jagged rack of Ju87 Stuka and then penetrated deeply into the B1.

The 7th aircraft group and the pilot dormitory next to it. The violent explosion destroyed all the B17 bombers, and the dormitory and warehouse were blown up. The corpses and rubble were thrown out hundreds of meters away. A total of two batches of 373 German bombers were quickly destroyed. The main air defense facilities in Malim Airport, Heraklion and Malemenia City were captured. After seizing air supremacy, the transport planes behind began to release paratroopers, and the sky was covered with white umbrella flowers.

In order to obtain first-hand information, Liu Zhian did not leave immediately, but hid in a high altitude that German fighter jets could not reach, and used three camera guns to record the entire attack process so that the staff could understand the German combat capabilities. In the camera, the Cretan Allied forces, who were hasty to fight, finally recovered from fear and took advantage of the small number of German troops to launch an encirclement from all directions. However, the German paratroopers were worthy of being the most elite unit. Facing dozens of times the enemy, they stubbornly defended the airport and persisted until the second batch of planes arrived. Hundreds of Ju52 and gliders began to land at Malim Airport, and a large number of elite German paratroopers and mountain infantry jumped off the plane to join the battle, helping their comrades gradually reverse their disadvantages and expand their control circle.

Liu Zhicheng sighed. Any airborne battle, occupying the airport, means that the defense loses air supremacy, and also means that the offensive party can receive stable logistics and military support.

Five minutes after the German bombing, the Chinese Air Force Monitoring Station located in the Sinai Peninsula of Egypt received a report from Liu Zhian, and then quickly forwarded it to the Persian Gulf War Command in Manama. The Manama Command was the headquarters of the future Persian Gulf Fleet selected by the General Staff, so it started construction after changing from the UK to the jurisdiction of these countries and regions. Although the dock was only half completed, the headquarters originally located in Riyadh had moved here in advance. However, due to the chaos in the moving, the staff took half an hour to find Bai Chongxi, who was going to Riyadh at the airport.

"These idiots! The stubborn British idiots!"

Bai Chongxi was so angry that he jumped up. He had repeatedly reminded the UK to be careful of Crete, and repeatedly asked him to send air force to enter. But to this day, the UK still refused to let him intervene on the grounds that he did not need support. So he had to apply to the General Staff for the "Night Owl" reconnaissance aircraft that he would not have been deployed outside the country so as to promptly grasp the movements of the Balkan German army.

Now, there is no need to reconnaissance, because the Germans fell directly from the sky.

You should know that the Mediterranean was originally divided into two isolated war zones due to the accidental loss of Malta. All supplies in the east had to be detoured by transport ships, and it was always very difficult to fight. If Crete was lost, the German army could surround Turkey's flanks and open up ties with French Syria. Even the air force could threaten the Suez Canal! If Turkey could not bear the pressure in the end and release the German Southeast Fleet (a small fleet formed after capturing Yugoslavia, Greek and Romanian warships) to rush out of the Black Sea, then the German army could directly enter the Middle East.

If the Soviet Black Sea Fleet with more than 60 submarines and dozens of warships are released, and the Italian Navy and the Luftwaffe will be in danger!

"I'll go find Zhu Binhou and ask him to send the aircraft carrier back."

"No, he is going to fight Malacca soon, so don't delay any further." Bai Chongxi grabbed Li Mingrui, who was about to let the navy take action. He trembled the telegram and gritted his teeth: "Besides, after returning from the Chagos Islands for at least four or five days, Germany has occupied the entire island. Forget it. Anyway, it's already like this, it's not our turn to be in a hurry. Britain and the United States have a fleet in Alexandria. Let them make trouble. We just need to watch Iraq and the Soviet Union and not make any trouble."

Li Mingrui nodded and asked again: "What should I do if the supplies are needed? Hitler has not transferred more than one million troops from the Balkans to Spain. If Crete is taken down, I guess 99% of them will attack Turkey. We must reserve more things in our hands to survive."

"Yes, I'm afraid Hitler is already flirting with Stalin and is going to quickly attack Turkey." Bai Chongxi sighed. When it comes to supply, he was also very troubled. At least Britain and the United States can still take a detour. In addition to the Air Force Strategic Transportation Brigade, he relies on the tortuous and slow subway railway of "Anjiyan-Mare-Kandahar-Quetta-Karach". Among them, from Mare to Kandahar, it must be connected by truck. So after landing in Iran, the Persian Gulf Army has been progressing slowly, and the reason lies in logistics. This is also the reason why he is unwilling to let the navy intervene in Crete, because if Malacca is not opened, he will be finished first when the Soviet Union and Germany attack Turkey.

"First send the news to the General Staff, and let them find a way to see if they can go to Li Zongren to arrange a supply line. By the way, I'll send one to Chagos and let them forward it to the president."

When Li Mingrui returned to the base to send a telegram, the Cairo meeting had entered its third day. In the conference room specially opened for the three leaders, the lights had been on for the whole night. The close friends seen by the outside world were blocked by the thick oak doors. The closed-door consultation method made the talks full of fierce competition from the beginning. "...What we need now is allies and help, and we need the support of anti-fascist forces around the world, rather than worrying about the division of their own territory. The Siberian incident has hurt your country and questioned the image and impartiality of the alliance. So Mr. Churchill and I hope to see a public commitment as soon as possible! Also, in terms of the handling methods of the Southwest Pacific, I think your approach is also lacking.

Just and transparent. Guam and Wake Island, the US government can temporarily lend it to your country for use, but there are no Japanese troops in Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and Gilbert Islands, so your country should withdraw its troops as soon as possible and respect the wishes of the local people. Just like Siberia, they also have the right to self-determination. Finally, I hope that our navy will participate in the military missions to the Philippines, East India and the Peninsula as soon as possible, and hope that you can consider sending more troops to Egypt and Europe….” Roosevelt, who is ill, is obviously not as energetic as Yang Qiu and Churchill, and his sleepless discussions and debates have made this disposal opinion on Siberia and the Southwest Pacific weak.

"Mr. Roosevelt. I admit that it was my mistake to not consult the opinions of the countries in advance in the Siberian incident, but I do not think it was a mistake! I do not want to repeat anything, and I believe that the intelligence about the collusion between the Soviet Union and Germany has filled your desk. I am bluntly speaking, you and your soldiers have not realized what kind of war it is! As leaders of an anti-fascist war involving the entire human world, we should not and will never allow anyone or force to support them! There is no luck in the war and no mercy, and we want to protect our country

To protect our soldiers and protect the world, we must fight the enemy from all aspects and use all the means available! So before the referendum, I announced to the free citizens of Siberia that they can choose for themselves. In fact, even if the Chinese living there were left out, the vote to join our country was still 85%. I think this is fair enough! It is also a good way to fight the Soviet fascism, divide and promote the internal independence movement of the Soviet Union. Disintegrate Ukraine and the Baltic Sea and prevent more people from being hurt!”

"... Of course, I can also promise to both of you that my government will make a commitment to the world at the right time, abide by all international law, and try to avoid and persuade such incidents, and do not choose or promote the continued territorial voting in the mainland. Finally, we will immediately engage in border negotiations with relevant neighboring countries. Establish their respective clear boundaries as soon as possible and sign relevant agreements."

"In addition, I also hope that you will re-examine the United States' military policies in Africa, the Middle East and Europe! In fact, I have always been very curious. What are you hesitating about?! Without any sign of victory, I proposed to enter the Southwest War Zone under our full command and take the initiative to acknowledge the hardships of fighting on both sides. This is not a responsible act to the country and soldiers! I have no choice. Whether Japan or the Soviet Union are next to our country, so I have to fight on both sides. But the United States and the American people are not necessary! Now, the most important thing for you should be to join His Excellency Churchill to regain control of the Iberian Peninsula. But I can't see these. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the help of Spain's mountainous areas, perhaps the fascist German cannon had been put on Gibraltar! Yes,

You can say that your soldiers need training and adaptation, but a whole year has passed. What have we seen? The French railway line is still operating, the production lines of Germany and Italy continue to make weapons, and the Soviet Union is still enjoying the benefits of not declaring war. Then, with more oil and steel than Germany's pre-war reserves, in exchange for German and Italian weapons and technology, and go back to kill my soldiers and persecuting the domestic minority!...What are you thinking! Why are you slow to bomb France and Italy on a large scale and destroy the supply line of the fascist army? Why don't you use bombers to paralyze the fascist factories? Why don't you destroy their war potential? Why are there natural allies such as Finland and Turkey who are reluctant to make promises and examples? I... want to know the answer."

Yang Qiu's powerful counterattack made the three secretaries and recorders stop writing unconsciously and turn their eyes to him. Roosevelt sat quietly, facing the stern accusations, but his expression was still calm. Churchill next to him was holding a cigar and slowly narrowed his eyes like a cunning fat fox. In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with the US military's dullness, nor was Roosevelt's attitude of not carrying out strategic bombing against the Internet for the sake of post-war interests. Now that someone stands up for him, he is naturally happy to watch a good show. But if he agrees with Yang Qiu,

That's a big mistake. He knew very well that Yang Qiu's words "I won't continue to promote the territorial referendum on the mainland". This was clearly telling himself and Roosevelt that China still had territorial appeals on the ocean! So, in his eyes, the two people who competed against each other, actually wanted to replace the British Empire and become the new overlord of the world. But... Is the legacy of the British Empire so delicious? The allusion of killing two scholars with one peach... Well, when I go back, I have to look through ancient Chinese books, and after the war, I have to think about killing these two guys.

Roosevelt continued to remain silent. The recorder around him didn't know whether to write this sharp speech full of guns and sticks, full of gunpowder, but it was irrefutable. Finally, he thought about it over and over again, and could only express it in this way: "The President and Mr. Yang Qiu and His Excellency Churchill exchanged their opinions in an extremely "frank and friendly manner". He stayed up late to negotiate, coordinated the command of the Allied forces, determined the goal of the war, and did his best for peace, freedom and tranquility in the world..." Bullshit! If it weren't for the physical inconvenience, Roosevelt would definitely be willing to stand up and hit Yang Qiu's face! Because all the difficult problems that plague the United States and him at present were fabricated by this bastard! But he couldn't stand up, and he could not find the rebuttal loopholes in his words for a while.

Seeing that the results of the overnight meeting were about to be ruined, the telephone next to him suddenly rang. When the ringtone rang, Gu Yuwen, who was recording, clearly saw that Roosevelt quietly loosened his whitish finger bones after he held tightly, and exhaled secretly.

Before the closed-door consultation, the three of them told the outside world that if there is no major problem, don’t interrupt them. What’s wrong now?

Even Yang Qiu frowned and looked at Churchill.

Churchill's secretary picked up the phone and said quickly after listening: "Prime Minister, two presidents. An hour ago, the Germans set foot on Crete and had controlled two airports! We lost air supremacy and the army was retreating to the harbor. General Cunningham said that Lieutenant General Mountbatten had already been to support the fleet, but he... did not think he could defend there." The sudden news, let alone Churchill and Roosevelt, even Yang Qiu opened his somewhat cracked lips slightly. If Malta was in his hand, the loss of Crete would not be very big, but what about now?

Roosevelt gently pressed the armrest of the wheelchair and exchanged a helpless look with Churchill. Although he didn't want to admit it, good luck seemed to be on the young man opposite him.

Yang Qiu was unwilling to talk anymore, seized this god-given opportunity, walked to the window and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunshine shook the eyes of Roosevelt and Churchill who were staying up late. When they raised their hands to block the sun, Yang Qiu turned sideways and pointed out the window: "Two, I don't want to be depressed, nor do I want to exaggerate. In fact, you should know better than me about the situation after the loss of Trick Island. I want to remind everyone that the negotiations between Stalin and Hitler are also underway at this moment. The Soviet Black Sea Fleet has 93 warships, including a battleship! Crete is a natural air force base! Iraqis have turned to fascism, with tens of thousands of them.

Soviet soldiers pretended to be theirs and were helping them! So, unless we can regain Malta tomorrow, Turkey, Egypt, the Middle East and Suez will all be attacked. If you still want to see such a beautiful morning at this time next year, you must support Turkey unconditionally! You must also achieve unity as soon as possible, clarify your respective goals, establish channels for alliances and mutual assistance, and mobilize all the production capacity of us and our allies... You should also form a tripartite joint organization at the appropriate time to prepare for the establishment of a new international joint organization after the war and replace the League of Nations that is in name only."

“…No choice!”
Chapter completed!
