Before the Gallic government in Tower City could respond, the Empire of Sun Never Sets took decisive action.
On September 1, 1920, the Sun Never Sets fleet stationed in the Mediterranean received an order for them to go to Turun Port, an important military port in southern Gaul, to perform their mission.
After receiving this order, although the commanders of the Mediterranean Fleet thought this order was very strange, after all, Turunport is an important main base of the Gallic navy and an important port in southern Gaul. It is very important to the Gauls. , the Mediterranean fleet where the sun never sets rarely goes here, because once it approaches here, it will be regarded as a provocation by the Gauls.
In this case, accidents may easily occur if both parties are not careful.
However, although he could not understand the order from Wudu City, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet still faithfully executed the order.
The Mediterranean Fleet soon took away a fleet with battleships as the main force and headed north to the Gaulish port of Turun.
The Gauls were not prepared at all for the sudden arrival of the Mediterranean Fleet, which never sets, because they had not been informed at all before. Moreover, the Gauls discovered that the Mediterranean Fleet, which never sets, was obviously coming with bad intentions.
The cannon jackets of the cannons on their battleships have been uncovered, and there is no one on the deck. All the turrets are in combat status. This clearly indicates that they are preparing for war!
Seeing the behavior of the people who never set the sun, the Gallic navy was shocked. They quickly added coal and water to their warships in the military port, and began to ignite the boilers to prepare for startup. On the other hand, they urgently sent an emergency signal to the direction of the Tower City. He sent a telegram and reported the situation to the capital.
After the emergency telegram from Tulun Port reached Iron Tower City, it was quickly sent to the President and Prime Minister of Gaul.
"The sun never sets. Are you going to start a war with us?"
After receiving this telegram, the President of Gaul looked in disbelief and said to his Prime Minister
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, the Mediterranean Fleet is very powerful. If there is a fight, our own navy may not be the opponent!"
The navy of the Empire on which the sun never sets during World War I is unimaginable to future generations!
At this time, the empire on which the sun never sets had dozens of battleships and six or seven domestic fleets alone. The battleship detachment has 28 cutting-edge battleships, not including the Mediterranean Fleet and the Far East Fleet.
Their battleships are not only large in number, but also technologically advanced. They are simply not comparable to the Gauls!
The power of the Sun Never Sets Navy at this time can be passed down from later generations. Take a peek at the Queen's Birthday Parade. The dense formation of battleships is frightening just by looking at it, let alone fighting against it!
After the Gauls lost the Franco-Prussian War, The loss of important coal and iron ore areas has greatly restricted their industrial strength. Therefore, they are unable to start a shipbuilding frenzy like the Second Empire did in the navy. Therefore, the Gallic navy at this time is still relatively weak. Weak.
Not to mention that they are no match for the Sun Never Sets Home Fleet. Even if they encounter a Mediterranean fleet that is not as powerful as the Home Fleet, the Gauls cannot defeat them. Therefore, facing the overwhelming deployment of the Sun Never Sets Man Mediterranean Fleet, The Gaul side seemed very nervous!
"I actually think that if the sun never sets, we may not start a war!"
Marshal Foch did not agree with the views of the President and the Prime Minister. He believed that the relationship between Gaul and the Sun Never Sets was not that bad. After all, the two sides were serious allies and would not be terminated without leaving the Entente. Before the alliance, it was unlikely that a war would break out between the two sides!
"It makes sense to say this, but the alliance treaty is just a piece of paper. The Sun Never Sets people can tear up this paper at any time and launch a war against us, so even if the Sun Never Sets people have not declared war on us at this time, we can still You can't be without any precautions!"
After hearing Marshal Foch's words, the Prime Minister felt a little more at ease.
He also came to his senses. This move of"The Sun Never Sets on Man" may have more political significance than military significance.
They probably want to deal with Gao Gao. Did the Gallic government issue some warnings?
Reminiscent of the harshly worded and even warning telegram from the Sun Never Sets Man, the Prime Minister of Gaul knew in his heart that the Sun Never Sets Man's military actions were just to coordinate with their political actions. Just press!
"Marshal, give the order to the frontline troops to withdraw from the southern region of Hans Kingdom!"
After understanding this, the Prime Minister of Gaul could only accept the reality unwillingly and said to Marshal Foch in a helpless tone.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Marshal Foch glanced at the president and found that the president did not express any objection. It seems that the president will not change this decision. In this case, he can only accept this order, although Marshal Foch did not want to do this. Do, he knows better than anyone else that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Gaul. Once this opportunity is missed, there may never be such a good opportunity in the future.
However, he also knows that if they insist on continuing to attack Hans!
If that is the case, it will be a complete break with the Sun Never Sets people.
It is unknown whether the Sun Never Sets people will tear up the alliance treaty and interfere in the war between them and Hans!
His vitality was severely damaged, and the military operations launched at this time were just the end of the war.
Marshal Foch knew that his country needed a long period of recuperation to recover from the country's wounds in the war.
At this time, they really could not afford to follow the Japanese.
The consequences of a full-scale war with Buluo Ren.
Therefore, even if there was such a good opportunity in front of him, he had to give up.
However, this abandonment was not voluntary by the Gauls, but was defeated by force. It was forced by threats, so after issuing the order to withdraw the troops, Marshal Foch hated the man on whom the sun never sets to the extreme!
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the information we just received from the front line is that the French army has withdrawn!"
The news of the French withdrawal was quickly sent to Wudu City, and after receiving the news, everyone was relieved.
To be honest, it was not only the Gauls who did not want a war to break out with the sun, but also the sun.
Buluo actually doesn't want a war to break out with the Gauls.
Both sides have not yet recovered from the trauma of World War I.
If they are asked to fight a large-scale war at this time, both sides are somewhat unable to do so!
After witnessing the horror of World War I, the people of both countries developed a feeling of resistance and disgust towards the war.
No one wanted to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder anymore, so even if the politicians decided to fight, the people might not Support.
In this case, the withdrawal of the Gauls at this time is an excellent result.
"Thank you, Lord Admiralty, let the Mediterranean fleet retreat, they no longer need to threaten the Gauls!"
"Yes, Prime Minister!"
The Minister of the Navy said with a serious face:"However, I think our actions this time have deeply irritated the Gauls. I am afraid that the Gauls have already hated us in their hearts. I think the relationship between our two countries may be… It's hard to go back to the intimate days of the past!"
The words of Navy Minister Qiu Jier aroused unanimous approval from everyone. Such an excellent opportunity for the Gauls was forcibly destroyed by the sun never setting. It is impossible for them to have no idea in their mind.
"I understand. Do you have any ideas for this situation?"
The prime minister, who never sets, looked around at everyone and asked.
"I think we should appropriately lift the restrictions on the Hans, especially the military restrictions, so that they can at least have the strength to resist the Gauls. In this way, the Gauls will be restrained by Hans and unable to We have concentrated our efforts to deal with us, and as the threat of Hans increases, the Gauls will ask for help from us. In this way, we can calmly play both sides of Hans and Gaul!"
