Chapter 386 Forces Egypt to make a choice! Here MacArthur is worrying about how to eliminate the Japanese troops on Guadalcanal. Mainly because the Japanese army suddenly received reinforcements, which puzzled him. Why did the Japanese army suddenly have so many anti-tank weapons? It is precisely because of these anti-tank weapons that the US military suffered heavy losses in its operations. So MacArthur decided to investigate first who gave the Japanese so many anti-tank weapons. Also, whether someone leaked the secret. On the other side, on the European battlefield, the German army is also constantly adjusting its strategy. Especially Egypt. Since the capture of Cairo, the German army has been searching for Egypt's original king.
Because the German army wanted to completely occupy Egypt. No! In other words, they are not very interested in this colony. But if the German army were to rule, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the local people. So the best thing would be for the original Egyptian king to rule. It turned out that the king had already run away with the British army. The Germans had no choice but to go south along the Nile River and continue their pursuit. Soon they caught up to the city of Luxor. According to intelligence, the king and queen of Egypt are hiding in this city. At this time, a huge roar could be heard outside Luxor City. boom! The sound of the German Panzer IV tank gun was so loud that it directly reduced the entire city wall to rubble. "Hiss, are the Germans so fast?" King Farouk of Egypt asked with a look of fear. "Yes, there are only a few kilometers left from the palace." The confidant said quickly. "What the **** are these Brits doing?" "Why haven't they defeated the Germans yet?" King Farouk shouted loudly. boom! There was a loud noise, scaring King Farouk to shut up. "Let's get in the car quickly and protect the king from here." Finally, King Faruk could not restrain his inner fear and chose to flee the palace directly.
As for his queen, it was up to his subordinates to pick her up. It's now time, and I don't care about so much anymore. I want to save my own life first. boom! There was another violent explosion, and the fortifications on the street were directly destroyed. Several of the soldiers guarding there were killed at once, and the rest were scattered like birds and beasts. They didn't have any anti-tank weapons, so they had no power to fight back against the German tanks. So I can only run away! rush! rush! rush! Colonel Fritz Bayerlein, who was in charge of commanding the attack on Luxor, ordered the charge to continue. There is only one command, and that is to rush! Therefore, the German armored units charged on the streets in one go. Sometimes, in order to save distance, they directly crushed people's houses into rubble and rushed directly. It can be said that German armored troops have begun drag racing on the streets. The purpose is to catch up with King Farouk as soon as possible and must capture him alive. "Speed up." "yes." Another private house was damaged, and the owner had already run away. When the Germans came, they ran away. Who asked King Farouk to propagate that the German army was very cruel. So these people can only choose to escape. "Stop talking nonsense, we destroyed so many houses, maybe we will be punished later." The gunner next to him said. "Punishment? What does it have to do with us? This is because the captain ordered me to take a shortcut." The driver said dissatisfied. "Don't worry, there won't be any punishment. It's just a few private houses. We are all doing this to complete the mission." The commander was also a little flustered. After all, they are the National Defense Forces and have good military discipline. If you break into private houses wantonly, there will definitely be punishment. More importantly, their next strategy is to hope for the support of the Egyptians. Therefore, if the Egyptians are offended too harshly, it may not be conducive to their subsequent rule. Just because we want to find King Farouk as soon as possible.
Therefore, the methods of these National Defense Forces are a bit violent. Who asked Colonel Fritz Bayerlein to personally give the death order. If you can only blame others, what does it have to do with them? "But the mission didn't ask us to crash into civilian houses?" The gunner's words silenced the entire crew. Because it seemed like they were the only tank that was crashing into houses in order to take a shortcut. The other tanks seemed to follow the road. "Ignore it for now. We are only a street away from the mission. If anything happens later, I will take the blame." The commander gritted his teeth and said proudly. At this moment, Queen Farida in Luxor City was covering her ears in fear. The sound of cannon outside was getting closer, but no one came to protect her as the queen. It made her feel scared and a little angry at the same time. "You guys take me to find the king..." Queen Farida looked at the guards in front of her and shouted quickly. Unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, a guard spoke. "Your Majesty the Queen, His Majesty the King has run away." After saying that, several guards also ran away in a swarm. Queen Farida was left confused. The king actually ran away? To abandon her as a queen? For a moment, her head was buzzing. Was this abandoned? She had no choice but to follow the guards and run into the distance. After all, this is a temporary palace, and the enemy will definitely come to search. The only way is to escape from here first, find a place to hide, and then find a way to join the king. boom! boom! boom! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! The palace guards were fighting with the German army. You could tell just from the sound that the fighting was very fierce.
It seems like running is the right thing to do! If he ran a little slower, he might be doomed now. When she saw the back door of the palace, Queen Farida showed a hint of joy on her face. As long as she passes through this door, she will be safe. Bang! The back door and the wall in front of me were directly knocked down. Queen Farida and the guards were immediately stunned. "I told you not to take shortcuts. In this case, we have already damaged many houses. If this continues, I'm afraid we will all have to go to military court." Inside the No. 4 tank, the commander opened the hatch and cursed. said. "Captain, didn't you say so yourself? Rush in." The driver said with an aggrieved look. "I am carrying out your order." "Let's see if we can catch a big fish, otherwise, we will all be scolded." The driver was a little annoyed, and then looked at the people in front of him. "Everyone, stay where you are, squat down, lower your head, or shoot them all." As he spoke, the commander picked up his pistol and fired continuously into the sky. Seeing the Panther tank, Queen Farida subconsciously wanted to escape. Can't be taken prisoner! If he were captured, he would definitely be doomed. Based on her understanding of Faruk, that cold-blooded guy would definitely divorce her and find a beautiful queen again. Therefore, she must not fall into the hands of the German army. You must escape from here and return to Faruk in order to be the supreme queen again. Otherwise she is just an ordinary woman. However, she didn't know that such aimless running would soon attract the attention of the German army. Especially the dress she was wearing was not something ordinary people could afford. So the originally colorful dress has now become a fatal problem. After running more than two meters, he tripped over the corner of his skirt and fell to the ground. At this time, the German commander also noticed her. After taking a look at the dress she was wearing, she said excitedly. "It looks like we caught a big fish." After saying that, the commander fired a shot into the sky, and then continued to roar. "Stop, if you run again I'll shoot."
This sentence is shouted in English. He believed that if the other party had a certain identity, he would definitely understand. Sure enough, the other party did understand. He stopped in an instant. After taking a look, the commander immediately asked the guards in front of him. "who is she?" "queen?" When the German commander heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This is a big fish. Now the incident where they crashed into private houses should be nothing. Thinking of this, the German commander shouted to his subordinates with great excitement. "Quick, keep looking, there must be other big fish." "yes." As a result, more and more German soldiers were seen rushing in. As expected, some more officials who were too late to evacuate were arrested. A large group of German soldiers rushed into the palace with rifles in hand. Originally, the palace guard's combat effectiveness was relatively weak, but now seeing so many German troops attacking, they directly chose to surrender. Fight against a tank with your flesh and blood body? Totally unnecessary. Buzz! The roar of tank engines was everywhere, and they were trying to turn the entire palace upside down. The reason why the German army pursued all the way was to capture King Farouk. Legally speaking, they are legitimate kings, and they also need each other's cooperation to rule this land. If the other party cooperates, the German army will reduce a lot of pressure. As for managing it yourself? Crazy? How could the German army manage it personally? They simply don’t have the energy to manage it themselves.
This can be seen from the fact that Rommel gave full authority over the pursuit to Colonel Fritz Bayerlein. Colonel Fritz Bayerlein also knew Field Marshal Rommel's intentions. That is, King Farouk only needs to ensure the interests of the German army and does not care about anything else. When daybreak came, many people in the city finally dared to open their doors and take a look at what was going on outside. After all, the sound of gunfire last night was continuous and no one dared to go out. A few brave people stuck their heads out and found that the original street corner had been replaced by German troops. Moreover, every street was under martial law, and everyone who went out was driven back. If anyone resists, they will be shot on the spot. In the palace, Colonel Fritz Bayerlein got off his armored vehicle and came to the palace. At this moment, there are blood stains everywhere in the palace! Due to time constraints, the Germans had not had time to clean up. "How is it? Did you catch any big fish?" Colonel Fritz Bayerlein asked. "Why are there so many damaged houses? I think the palace was also damaged." Hearing Colonel Fritz Bayerlein's words, several officers nearby looked at each other. Several people looked at each other, and finally his adjutant spoke. "It's like this. There was a car captain who took a shortcut in order to rush for time..." The following words were not said, but the meaning was obvious. In order to catch the queen and king, they chose to take a shortcut. As for how to take shortcuts? Naturally, it was destroyed along the way. Hearing this, Colonel Fritz Bayerlein frowned slightly. "knew." After all, they are here to perform their own tasks. Besides, this is a war, and it is normal to damage some houses. "Queen Farida has been captured, and the king seems to have escaped." Seeing that Colonel Fritz Bayerlein did not pursue the case, the adjutant couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly. "Queen?" Colonel Fritz Bayerlein heard this and motioned to lead the way. "Is she Queen Farida?" Colonel Fritz Bayerlein looked at the woman in front of him who was suppressing his composure and asked doubtfully. "Yes, according to the attendants, she is Faruk's queen." The adjutant explained quickly. Hearing this, Colonel Fritz Bayerlein nodded and said immediately. "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. Now we have a problem and we need your help."
Queen Farida was stunned, and then looked at Colonel Fritz Bayerlein. Although she was very puzzled, she still asked immediately. "What's the deal?" Colonel Fritz Bayerlein looked at the intelligence officer following him and continued to ask. "How prestigious is she?" "Not bad, much better than that guy Faruk." This intelligence officer was a subordinate of the Military Intelligence Bureau and had been ordered to come here long ago to collect information. "If possible, you can convince the other party. After all, there was a time when a queen ruled Egypt here." The intelligence officer thought for a while and added. With these words, Colonel Fritz Bayerlein suddenly knew something, and then he looked at the queen in front of him with a smile and said. "Are you willing to lead the whole of Egypt to swear allegiance to us?" Queen Farida was a little dumbfounded, but soon understood what she meant. Thinking of the heartless guy Faruk, he immediately responded. "I do, but I'm just a queen." "Don't worry, with our support, you will be the new king of Egypt. As long as you are loyal, we will help you clear those obstacles." Colonel Fritz Bayerlein now needs someone to help him stabilize the situation. The people under him didn't understand the local language very well, so in the end they had to find local people to cooperate. "Of course, we also need a certain amount of sincerity from you to help you eliminate those rebels. We need a lot of supplies. I believe you should be able to help solve it?" With that, Colonel Fritz Bayerlein will arrive early. The prepared treaty was handed over. Queen Farida was also a cheerful person and agreed immediately. In fact, it's useless not to agree, because she is just a puppet now. She and Farooq were puppets of the British before. Now it has become a puppet of the Germans. Maybe he will be someone else's puppet in the future. For them, it is just a change of suzerainty, and the actual interests have not changed at all. But this time, there is a little difference in the treaty. If any minerals or the like are discovered, Germany is willing to share part of the profits with them, and even give an extra portion of the profits to the royal family every year. The royal family's request is to persuade all of Egypt to surrender as soon as possible and join Germany. At the same time, a large amount of material supplies are provided. After taking a look, Queen Farida sighed inwardly and finally chose to sign. (End of chapter)
