For Francisco Franco, who has always focused on the interests of Spain, he would not declare war on Germany unless it was absolutely necessary.

This is also the reason why he has always remained neutral and insisted on not joining Germany, or the fronts of countries such as Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union and participated in World War II.

So when Francisco Franco encouraged his subordinates to express his opinions, he did not say anything more, and finally asked the diplomats to solve the problem.

In other words, his decision is like a fence-bearer, looking at the weak strength on that side and strong strength on that side; if he has a relatively high chance of victory, he may choose to surrender to the other side.

Many senior Spanish government officers were greatly relieved about Francisco Franco's final decision. As long as they did not have to declare war on Germany immediately, they would have nothing to do with it.

As long as the British, American, Soviet and German troops fight to death, they will make money in silence.

After Francisco Franco issued a diplomatic negotiation order, the Spanish Foreign Minister immediately convened a meeting of all the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss how to negotiate and return the invasion of the Port of Ceuta with the German army.

At this time in the English Channel, Chief of Staff John was anxiously waiting for the reinforcements from Prime Minister Churchill, Eisenhower and others.

"Damn Germans! Damn Rommel! And Damn Eisenhower!"

"The English Channel I was in charge of guarding was almost occupied by the German army! But what about the reinforcements I promised to give me? Why didn't one of them arrive here!"

"If I had known that the German attack was so fast, I would not have accepted the order of the same guy in Churchill head to airborne here and suffer! Okay! Now I don't know how to face the German army that was about to be at the city!"

In the dim air-raid shelter conference room, Chief of Staff John yelled in anger.

In this temporary command for the renovation of underground air defense bunkers, the sea of ​​lights deployed by the British army is relatively bright and not too dark. Although the general power generation technology and light bulbs of average quality are used at this moment. However, the advantage is that they are large in number and have been prepared for a long time, so there will be no embarrassing situation of being dark and bright.

Although the fuel of the generator is a strategic material, it cannot be wasted at will.

However, as the battle situation in the English Channel became increasingly severe, Chief of Staff John did not have much scruples to save on using it.

Especially now, the British troops he can command are only one battalion of guards and the 2nd Regiment. After experiencing the fifth round of missile bombing by the German army, the troop of this regiment is only less than three battalions.

If no reinforcements arrive, the battle will end with the defeat of the British army.

In fact, at this moment, Chief of Staff John also wanted to go to the areas where German missiles were bombed and severely affected by air strikes to inspect the battle situation. However, in order to maintain contact with Churchill and Eisenhower and other British and American senior officials, Chief of Staff John could only bring some remaining high-level officers to this air raid shelter that was no longer visible all day long, like hibernating animals.

Therefore, his personality and temper became irritable, irritable, worried and suspicious.

After he finished cursing, he stared blankly at a map of the city defense of the English Channel hanging on the wall of the conference room. Many places have been marked with red pens as the numbers of the German landing troops, airborne troops and the troops below.

At that moment, Chief of Staff John had dreams and unexpectedly, the German army's marching speed was so fast, it was twice as fast as the Polish blitzkrieg.

But the thing that made him feel most deeply ashamed was that he could not believe that the British troops under his command would lose so quickly and thoroughly.

During the powerful German naval and air bombing, their troops were wiped out one platoon after another.

Sometimes it is even a company or a battalion of troops to take away a bunker.

Such a result of annihilation of the reorganization was rare in the battles he experienced.

Especially the result of such a battle still happened in less than half a day.

"Sir! Eisenhower has called! Our aviation reinforcements will be able to arrive over us for air support in about two hours!"

"In addition, Prime Minister Churchill also called and said that our Royal aircraft carrier fleet will appear in the English Channel and fight with the German navy in one hour!"

Just when Chief of Staff John was extremely restless, a telegrapher suddenly walked in with a hurry and looked surprised and reported to him happily.

"The battle situation in the English Channel has basically been decided, so what if they come? And it will take them one to two hours to get to us!"

"At that moment, it is still an unknown number to be able to live!"

Chief of Staff John sighed discouragedly at the telegrapher's surprise.

After the words came to an end, the entire combat command room was silent. All the officers here were still cheering and clamoring to celebrate their arrival.
