Chapter 503 Guard Force

If it was before, Albert I might have chosen to stand with Britain.

After all, Britain is the most powerful country in the world, especially it and France share the same interests and hope to weaken and suppress Charles.

As the King of Belgium, Albert I needed the help of the Allies to restore his country. He should stand on the side of the Allies in terms of politics, military and public opinion.

However, when Charles got to Antwerp in just one day and captured more than 100,000 German troops, Albert I confirmed a fact: the most important thing is Charles, Charles, Charles!

Britain, France, Russia, Italy, all were beaten to a pulp by the Germans, and there was no change in the battle line for a year.

As soon as Charles came up, he took 20,000 people in just one day, and won a decisive victory in just one day.

God, the troops Charles brought may only be the number of casualties in one day when the Allies launched the attack, but Charles won!

The gap is so big that he thought it was not true, but a beautiful lie woven by Charles and the Germans.

But this is the fact, a living fact played out in Belgium!

And these shameless generals are unwilling to lower their noble heads in front of the facts, and still insist on the so-called "offensive theory" or "defensive theory".

Pedantic!

Stupid!

Unrepentant!

If Albert I had to choose between Charles and the Allies, Albert I would choose Charles without hesitation, even if it was just Charles alone.

All the generals of the entire Allied Powers are not worthy of carrying Charles' shoes!

Albert I sometimes thought: As long as Charles is willing, he can let Charles lead the Belgian army, and then Belgium can even become a strong city that no one can break, even if it is sandwiched between Britain, France and Germany.

Albert I firmly believes that Charles' military theory is correct and no one can match it.

The reason why Colonel Eden is deeply valued by Albert I is because he is also a fan of Charles and also believes in Charles' military theory.

Suddenly, Albert I raised his eyebrows and asked Colonel Eden: "Should we form a special force?"

"Special force?" Colonel Eden was confused. What made His Majesty have such a strange idea?

"Yes, special force." Albert I said: "Think about it, Colonel, if the British army cannot cooperate with Charles's troops, Charles's troops will face the dilemma of only armored troops and mechanical troops but no infantry."

Colonel Eden suddenly woke up: "Yes, we can form a force to cooperate with Charles."

"I don't know much about military affairs, Colonel." Albert I asked: "Do you think this is reasonable and realistic?"

"Of course it is reasonable." Colonel Eden nodded repeatedly: "It is also realistic. After all, we are a member of the Allied Powers. At the same time, this is our country, our land. We have the right to decide who to cooperate with and who to fight with."

"That's right!" Albert I nodded heavily, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

These guys, dispatching troops on Belgian soil without asking him, what do they think of Belgium?

This also brought back a painful memory for Albert I: when he was exiled to Britain, those so-called gentlemen left him aside, completely ignored him and did not consider Belgium's position, as if Belgium had already perished.

"The problem is..." Colonel Eden said in embarrassment: "We may need two divisions. It should be said that at least two divisions, one division to cooperate with the armored forces, one division to cooperate with the mechanized forces, and it is best to have a division as a reserve."

"That's 60,000 people." Albert I asked: "Can't we get them together?"

"No, Your Majesty." Colonel Eden replied: "Our troops have reached more than 500,000, but..."

Colonel Eden looked a little embarrassed.

Albert I understood instantly: "Is it a quality problem?"

"Yes." Colonel Eden nodded with difficulty: "It may be okay for us to cooperate with the Allies in guerrilla warfare, but now we have to cooperate with Charles' troops, I am worried that there will be problems."

"But in any case, it is much better than the British cooperating with Charles, Colonel." Albert I said.

Colonel Eden did not object. The British were deliberately dragging their feet. This situation would not happen to the Belgian army.

Albert I said again: "Think about it. If it is really as we think, what will happen next?"

Colonel Eden thought for a while and slowly replied: "Charles may lose the battle, his reputation will be damaged, and then..."

He suddenly looked up at Albert I, staring and exclaimed: "Charles, Charles may be transferred out of Belgium."

"Yes." Albert I replied: "This is one of their goals. The British do not want Belgium to lean towards Charles or France. They want to control us and obey them. Therefore, they must find an excuse to transfer Charles away."

Albert I tapped his fingers on the table and made a "cluck" sound: "We must not let it happen. It is not only a matter of recovering the territory, but also a matter of sovereignty and development. Charles is everything to Belgium, Colonel."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Colonel Eden replied.

"So." Albert I asked again: "The three divisions that cooperate with Charles..."

"I will find a way to do it, Your Majesty." Colonel Eden said, "I have an idea. We can spread the news that these three divisions are troops cooperating with Charles."

Albert I praised this: "It's a good idea. A large number of young people will sign up enthusiastically."

"Yes." Colonel Eden explained, "If many people sign up, we can select high-quality soldiers and train them. At the same time, we can also ask Charles for his opinion. It would be best if Charles sent instructors to train with us."

After all, it is to cooperate with Charles' troops. Charles knows what kind of troops are needed.

"That's right." Albert I stood up: "Let's go to the airport, Colonel, it's time to talk to Charles."

After walking a few steps, Albert I remembered something again: "In addition to the army, we also need to add a guard force."

"Guard force?" Colonel Eden was a little surprised. Add guards at this time?

"Responsible for airport security, Colonel." Albert I said, "Prevent Charles from being disturbed by others."

"Oh, yes, of course." Colonel Eden understood.

The so-called "others" are of course the arrogant British, especially Charles's immediate superior, Lieutenant General Avis.

I should "train" this guard unit well, Colonel Eden thought.
