Chapter 865 Suez Canal

The sky gradually became brighter. This night was the most unforgettable for many people. The citizens of Cairo listened to the sound of gunshots outside.

As soon as the sun came up, a few daring ones poked their heads out quietly and found a street corner. German tanks were already guarding them. Every street was under martial law. Then, German troops began to march around the city. Make a big manhunt.

royal palace.

The tall and handsome Rommel got off the tank he was riding in, walked along the steps, and walked into the palace.

There are bloodstains on the steps, which are left by the resisting elements. Since it is a war, there will be death. There is no need to whitewash oneself as a harmless human being.

Rommel, who was dressed in military uniform, walked into the palace. When he sat on the main seat of the tall hall, he looked at the detained people.

"Your Majesty, have you made up your mind?"

Rommel looked down at the young man with a blue and purple face.

Not George VI, but Farouk I.

When the German tanks were firing on the outskirts, the British command was warned and immediately organized a retreat, but no one thought to notify Farouk I.

As a result, Farouk I waited until the German tanks entered the city, only to realize that it was not good. He called his guards and wanted to evacuate. After a few minutes, the German tanks came up.

If he hadn't revealed his identity in time, the German tanks would have thought they were an army and almost wiped out.

Farouk I fell into the control of the German army in this way. At this time, looking at the German officer sitting in his seat, Farouk I was extremely afraid in his heart.

"Think about it, think about it." Farouk I said: "I am willing to take the whole of Egypt and show my allegiance to Edward VIII."

After speaking, he turned into a sad face again: "Actually, I have long wanted to respond to the call of King Edward VIII, but unfortunately, the whole of Egypt is controlled by the British army, if I declare If I answer the call, I will be killed next, and now, I can finally officially pledge my allegiance to London, and I will immediately issue an announcement to inform the whole country."

Farouk I, a dude, he has no loyalty at all. Now, in order to survive, of course he will not have anything to do with George VI anymore.

Rommel nodded: "In addition to allegiance to Edward VIII, Egypt needs to abolish the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty and directly sign a treaty with us Germany, and our Germany will control the Suez Canal for a hundred years."

"Okay, no problem," said Farouk I.

An important node in global shipping, another export from the Mediterranean, fell into the hands of Germany so easily. At this time, Farouk I only wanted to save his life, and he could agree to any conditions.

Besides, the Suez Canal is the same for everyone, and Egypt will not benefit anyway.

The Suez Canal has been excavated one after another since ancient times, but in modern times, it was reopened in 1856, when France was in charge. As a result, decades later, the Suez Canal was sold by France to the United Kingdom.

Since then, Britain has taken control of the Mediterranean Sea, from Gibraltar to the Suez Canal, all under British control.

until now.

In fact, as long as Farouk I was loyal to London, the Suez Canal would be under German control, and Edward VIII had to obey Germany's orders. However, from a long-term point of view, direct possession by Germany is more appropriate.

In fact, even without the promise of Farouk I, just before dawn, Rommel had sent an armored division to advance towards the Suez Canal.

"Your Majesty, this is the treaty we have drawn up, please sign it." Rommel took a stack of documents from the briefcase of his assistant behind him.

Farouk I looked over it, and the content was almost the same as the one signed by the United Kingdom at that time.

Germany had the responsibility to protect Egypt from foreign aggression, and Egypt was placed under German administration during the war;

The Luftwaffe has the right to fly in Egyptian airspace and to use Egyptian airports;

Germany occupied various naval bases, including Alexandria.

Germany stationed 20,000 ground troops in the Suez Canal.

Egypt can build an army, but it needs to buy German weapons and receive training from a German military delegation.

It can be said that Germany has robbed a lot of power from London. Now that London has surrendered to Germany, these colonies, of course, must be given to Germany if they want.

"Okay, you can go down." Rommel said, looking at the document signed by Farouk I and waving his hand, as if to drive away a fly.

Then, new captives were brought up. Compared with the obedient Farouk I, these people are quite rebellious.

Three women, two of them girls.

"Kill us, we will not yield." Queen Elizabeth said, leading a daughter in one hand. When she said this, she was actually struggling in her heart.

It's not scary for her to die, but her two daughters have to be buried with her, which is too hard for her to accept. Thinking of this, she will feel heartache.

However, if one does not die, it will be used by the other party to coerce George VI. Queen Elizabeth does not want to embarrass George VI. This hatred between Britain and Germany is still waiting for George VI to repay!

She had only a dead end to go.

"Why? What crime did you commit?" Hearing this, Rommel immediately asked back: "Could it be that in your eyes, we are the same as the outside world, we are all murderous demons?"

Then, Rommel squatted down, looked at his little daughter Margaret, and said: "What a lovely little girl, when I see you, I think of my son, Manfred, who has been busy with military affairs recently, and I haven't seen you for a long time. I saw him."

After speaking, Rommel stretched out his hand and wanted to pinch Margaret's face. Margaret was scared and hid behind Elizabeth.

"So, what do you want to do to us?" Elizabeth asked.

"That is to ask, what do you want." Rommel said: "I will give you two choices. First, go back to London. You are still the women of the Windsor family. Edward VIII does not dare to harm you. You can Continue to live there. Second, you can also go to Berlin, go to Paris, in short, go to any country that belongs to the euro zone, and you can see if the living standards of the countries are better than before under the rule of Germany. ."

It was Rommel's regret that King George VI was not caught, and how to deal with the three mothers and daughters made Rommel in trouble.

So, he kicked the ball back to Berlin in time, and now, the two options he proposed, it was Cyric's decision.
