The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Before the Gallic government on the side of the tower city could respond, the empire of the sun never set took decisive action.

On September 1, 1920, the fleet stationed in the Mediterranean received orders to carry out their mission at the port of Tulun, an important military port in southern Gaul.

After receiving this order, although the commanders of the Mediterranean Fleet found this order very strange, after all, the port of Tulun was an important main base of the Gaul navy and an important port in the south of Gaul, and it was very important to the Gauls, and the Mediterranean fleet rarely went here, because once it approached it, it would be regarded as a provocation by the Gauls.

In this case, the two sides are prone to accidents if they are not careful.

However, although he could not understand this order from the Fog Capital, the commander of the Mediterranean Fleet faithfully carried out the order.

The Mediterranean Fleet soon drew a fleet of battleships and sailed north to the port of the Gauls.

The Gauls were not prepared for the sudden arrival of the Mediterranean Fleet, on which the sun never sets, because they had not been informed beforehand, and the Gauls found that the Mediterranean Fleet on which the sun never set was clearly ill-conceived.

The cannons on their ships have been uncovered, there is no one on the deck, and all the turrets are in combat condition, which clearly shows that they are ready to go to war!

The Gallic navy was startled by the fact that the sun never set, and on the one hand, they hurriedly refueled their warships in the military port with coal and water, and began to light the boilers to prepare for starting, and on the other hand, they also urgently sent a telegram in the direction of the tower city, reporting the situation to the capital.

An urgent telegram from the port of Turkey reached the city of Tower, and was quickly sent to the President and Prime Minister of Gaul.

"The sun doesn't set, is this going to war with us?"

After receiving this telegram, the Gallic president said to his prime minister with an expression of disbelief.

"This possibility is not ruled out, after all, the strength of the Mediterranean Fleet is very strong, and if it really fights, our own navy may not be an opponent!"

The strength of the empire's navy during the First World War was unimaginable to later generations!

At this time, the sun never set on the empire, and there were dozens of battleships alone, and the home fleet alone had six or seven battleship detachments and 28 cutting-edge battleships, not including the Mediterranean Fleet and the Far Eastern Fleet.

Their battleships were not only numerous, but also technologically advanced, and were not at all comparable to the Gauls!

At this time, the sun never sets on the strength of the navy, which can be glimpsed from the queen's birthday parade map, which is widely circulated in later generations, and the formation composed of dense battleships is just terrifying, let alone confronting it!

After the Gauls lost the Franco-Prussian War, they lost important coal and iron mining areas, which greatly limited their industrial strength, so they could not keep up with the sun on the navy like the Second Empire, so the Gallic navy was still relatively weak at this time.

Not to mention that they are not the opponents of the Mediterranean Fleet of the Sunset, even if they encounter the Mediterranean Fleet that is not as strong as the Continental Fleet, the Gauls will not be able to beat it, so in the face of the Sunset Mediterranean Fleet's outpouring of the Mediterranean Fleet, the Gallic side is very nervous!

"I think that if the sun doesn't set, we may not go to war!"

Marshal Foch did not agree with the President and the Prime Minister, and he believed that the relationship between Gaul and the sun never set was not so bad that the two sides were now allies after all, and it was unlikely that war would break out between the two sides until the Entente came out and the alliance was terminated!

"It's a bit of a stretch to say that, but the alliance treaty is just a piece of paper, and the sun never sets can tear up this piece of paper at any time and then start a war against us, so even if the sun doesn't set at this time, we can't be defenseless!"

After hearing Marshal Foch's words, the prime minister felt a little relieved.

He also came to his senses, and the political significance of this move of the sun never setting may be heavier than the military significance.

They probably wanted to warn the Gallic government, right?

Thinking of the harshly worded, even warning, telegram from which the sun never sets, the Gallic Prime Minister knew in his heart that the military action against the sun would never set was nothing more than to cooperate with their political pressure!

"Marshal, give an order to the troops on the front line to withdraw their troops from the southern region of the Hans Kingdom!"

Thinking of this, Prime Minister 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 saw that the president had not expressed any objections, and it seemed that the president would not change this decision.

In that case, then he had no choice but to accept this order, although Marshal Foch did not want to do it in his heart, he knew better than anyone that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Gaul, and if he missed this opportunity, he might never have such a good opportunity in the future!

However, he also knew that if they insisted on continuing to attack Hans, it would be a complete tear with the Sunset, and it was unknown whether the Sunset would tear up the alliance treaty and interfere in the war between them and Hans!

Marshal Foch knew that his homeland would need a long time to recuperate from the wounds of war, and that they could not afford to go to war with the sun on them.

So, even if there was such a good opportunity in front of him, he had to give it up!

However, this renunciation was not voluntarily given by the Gauls, but was forced by force and threats from the people on which the sun never sets, so after giving the order to withdraw the troops, Marshal Foch hated the sun never set in his heart to the extreme!

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I just got the information from the front that the French army has withdrawn!"

The news of the French withdrawal was quickly sent to the city of Wudu, and after receiving the news, the sun did not set, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, not only did the Gauls not want a war with the sun that never set, but the sun did not want a war with the Gauls, neither side had recovered from the trauma of the First World War, and it was a little overwhelming for both sides to let them fight a large-scale war at this time!

Moreover, after seeing the horror of the First World War, the people of both countries have a feeling of resistance and disgust for the war, and everyone does not want to go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder anymore, so even if the politicians decide to fight, the people may not support it.

In this case, the withdrawal of the Gauls at this time was an excellent result.

"Good work, Admiral, let the Mediterranean Fleet retreat, they don't need to continue to threaten the Gauls!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

The Admiralty Minister said with a serious face: "However, I think that this time our actions have deeply stimulated the Gauls, I am afraid that the Gauls have hated us in their hearts, and I think that the relationship between our two countries may be difficult to return to the original era of intimacy!"

The words of the Admiral Chugill aroused the unanimous approval of the people, and it was impossible for the Gauls to have such a splendid opportunity forcibly destroyed by the sun not setting, and they could not have had the slightest idea in their minds.

"I understand, do you have any good solutions for this situation?"

The sun never sets, the prime minister glanced around at everyone and asked.

"I think that we should appropriately lift the restrictions on the Hans, especially the military restrictions, at least so that they have the strength to resist the Gauls, so that the Gauls will be pinned down by the Hans, and they will not be able to concentrate their forces against us, and as the threat of the Hans increases, the Gauls will still have to ask for us, so that we can calmly stay between the Hans and Gaul!"
