Fiction: Third Reich Author: East-hung Word Count: 3683
At the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, a narrow peninsula on the Mediterranean coast, is situated a triangular rocky area. Flash Dance Novel Network
There are neither rivers, springs, nor arable land. The residents need only external supplies of vegetables, food, and fresh water. It can be said that almost no one wants to live here.
However, the geographical location here is very important. Its northern part is connected to the Gibraltar area of ​​Spain, and its east, west and south are bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. The south faces the Strait of Gibraltar, which is an important choke point guarding the sea passage between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Yes, this is Gibraltar. Due to its unique geographical location, although it is only a small place with scarce resources, Britain and Spain have competed for more than 300 years.
Gibraltar is a bridgehead on the north bank of the Strait of Gibraltar, which can effectively control the sea lanes. It is only a dozen kilometers away from the port of Ceuta on the south bank of the strait, making it easy to block the strait.
In particular, with the opening of the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal together play a role in shortening the sea distance between the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean.
In 1588, an unprecedented naval battle between Britain and Spain ended in the destruction of the Spanish "Invincible Fleet". This war established Britain's status as the world's number one naval power, and laid the foundation for the "empire that never sets in the sun".
The rise of the United Kingdom began. Later, in 1704, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands launched a war against the West and captured Gibraltar, which became a British colony. Flash Dance Novel Network
From the perspective of the territory, Gibraltar is completely in Spanish territory, but has become a British colony. Therefore, Spain has never given up its claim to regain the sovereignty of Gibraltar over the years. Unfortunately, there has been no progress.
As an empire that never sets, Britain has a strong military strength. Now, Britain is building various military bases in Gibraltar. This is one of the most important strategic locations for Britain.
Unfortunately, the British fleet no longer has the glory it used to.
With the destruction of the fleet, Britain’s maritime hegemony once again faced serious challenges, including the hegemony of the Mediterranean!
The British have always been in desperation, but what they didn't expect was that even the French would attack them!
Perhaps, in the eyes of the British, they did not go to beat others, it was already good, especially in France. In their eyes, it was France who did the wrong thing. They surrendered to Germany and stood with their enemies. Together!
The French navy should all be transferred to Britain and accept British command. This is correct!
As for the French who actually want to fight back, this is indeed something that no one has expected.
The sun slowly slid down from the west. When the last afterglow of the setting sun disappeared to the sea on the west, the entire Gibraltar also entered the darkness.
This was originally a small place. It can even be said that the residents living in Gibraltar now mainly live by serving the British team, but now, just after dark, this place has stopped.
If you look at the terrain map, you can find that a huge mountain range occupies almost the entire eastern and central parts of Gibraltar. This is the Rock of Gibraltar.
It seems to have suddenly appeared out of thin air, standing tall like a rocky mountain rising above the sea. Few places in the world are more memorable than the Rock of Gibraltar.
This 1,396-foot high mountain is a limestone mountain of the Jurassic period. It is majestic and is the product of the violent collision between the African and European plates about 55 million years ago.
Therefore, this rocky mountain is also a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Especially, when the British occupied this place, a complex system of underground exits and tunnels was built, which can be said to be solid.
Otherwise, the Spaniards had already sent troops to occupy this place.
At the same time, the western part of the rock mountain is a flat land and a natural harbor. The main residents live in the middle part of the western side of the rock mountain.
Although there is a power station in the northern part of the city, it is dedicated to supplying the entire city. However, during this period, priority is given to the supply of power to the troops, and ordinary citizens are in the dark at night.
A high rock mountain, a Klkl radar, is in working condition, and a steady stream of electricity is radiated through its antenna and transformed into electromagnetic waves, scanning the sea.
In this era, Germany's radio technology has come to the forefront, especially the development of transistors, allowing Germany to leapfrog this era. At the same time, British electronic technology is also unique.
In 35 years, the United Kingdom also invented radar, and now deployed here is the sea surface search radar specially developed for naval coastal defense forces.
As long as you occupy Gibraltar, you can control the strait here, which is equivalent to getting stuck in the throat of the Mediterranean. Britain has always attached great importance to this strategic location.
Now, in the engine room, several British soldiers are on duty.
Next to the radar, there are high-power searchlights. Generally speaking, they will only turn on the searchlights after the radar finds the target. After all, the radar can observe farther than the searchlight.
Time passed little by little, and the radar soldier kept rubbing his own eyes. This kind of task was quite boring and also quite demanding.
Suddenly, there was a snowflake on the radar screen in front of him.
In an instant, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't help but cried out: "John, our machine is malfunctioning again!"
The reliability of radars in this era is quite low, and various failures often occur. Generally speaking, the possibility of electron tubes burning out is the greatest.
For radar soldiers, checking for faults is also a basic task.
Hearing his shout, John walked into the cabinet next to him and opened the outside door. Inside, there were densely packed electronic circuits. One could see the "light bulbs" lighting up. These light bulbs were electronic tubes.
Which one is black, it means it is out of order. They were all experienced before.
But this time, I opened the cabinet door, but did not see that the bulb was black.
Oops, if other electronic circuits fail, it will be troublesome! The two immediately frowned.
"Report to the commander that our radar is broken. Ask them to send engineers to repair it." The radar squad leader said.
Well, in the next time, they will be able to sleep beautifully.
Generally speaking, ships sail from here during the day. What can be there at night?
Leaning on the back of the chair, they soon fell asleep. They didn't know that their comfort made a big mistake!
Their radar is not broken. Those snowflakes are because they were interfered by a high-power jammer in nearby Spain!
