The sky gradually brightened. This night, for many people, was the most unforgettable. The citizens of Cairo, listening to the gunfire outside, the continuous sound of cannons, no one dared to go out.
Immediately after the dawn of the sky, a few bold, quietly poking out their heads, they found that there were German tanks guarding the corner of the street, and every street was under martial law. Then, the German army began to be in the city. Conduct a big search.
Royal palace.
The tall and handsome Rommel got down from the tank he was riding in, followed the steps, and walked into the palace.
There are still blood stains on the steps, which are left by the resistance elements. Since it is a war, there will be death. There is no need to whitewash yourself harmlessly.
Rommel, dressed in a 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 thought about it?"
Rommel looked down at the young man with bruises on his face.
Not George VI, but Farouk I.
When the German tanks were on fire on the outskirts, the British Command received an early warning and immediately organized a retreat. However, no one thought of informing Farouk I.
As a result, Farouk I waited until the German tanks entered the city, only to find something wrong, 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 would have almost wiped out.
Farouk I fell into the control of the German army. At this time, looking at the German officer sitting in his position, Farouk I was extremely afraid.
"Think about it, think about it." Farouk I said: "I am willing to take the entire Egypt and show my allegiance to Edward VIII."
After speaking, he turned into a crying face again: "Actually, I wanted to respond to King Edward VIII's call a long time ago. It's a pity that the entire Egypt is controlled by the British army. If I declare Responding to the call, I will be killed next. Now, I can finally formally loyal to London. I will immediately make an announcement to the whole country."
Farouk I was just a dude. He had no loyalty at all. Now, in order to survive, he certainly would not have anything to do with George VI.
Rommel nodded: "In addition to allegiance to King Edward VIII, Egypt needs to abolish the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty and directly sign a treaty with our Germany, which will control the Suez Canal for a hundred years."
"Okay, no problem." Farouk I said.
Regarding the important node of global shipping, another export from the Mediterranean easily fell into the hands of Germany. At this time, Farouk I only wanted to save his life, and all conditions could be agreed.
Besides, the Suez Canal is the same for everyone, and Egypt will not benefit anyway.
The Suez Canal has been excavated since ancient times, but in modern times, it was reopened in 1856. It was France at that time. As a result, decades later, the Suez Canal was sold to Britain by France.
Since then, Britain has taken control of the Mediterranean, 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 German orders. However, from a long-term perspective, it is more appropriate for Germany to directly occupy it.
In fact, even without the promise of Farouk I, Rommel had already sent an armored division to advance toward the Suez Canal just before dawn.
"Your Majesty, this is a treaty we drafted. Please sign it." Rommel took a stack of documents from the briefcase of the assistant behind him.
Farouk I looked through it, and the content was almost the same as the one signed by Britain at that time.
Germany has the responsibility to protect Egypt from foreign aggression, and Egypt is placed under German management during the war;
The Luftwaffe has the right to fly in Egyptian airspace and use Egyptian airports;
Germany occupies various naval bases including Alexandria.
Germany stationed 20,000 ground troops on 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 must of course be given to Germany if they want it.
"Okay, you can go down now." Rommel said, looking at the document signed by Farouk I, he waved his hand as if driving away a fly.
Then, the new captives were brought up. Compared with the obedient Faruk I, these people now are quite unruly.
Three women, two of them are girls.
"Kill us, we won't give in." Queen Elizabeth said, she led a daughter in one hand, and when she said this, her heart was actually struggling.
It is not terrible for her to die, but the two daughters have to follow her to the funeral, which is simply too difficult for her to accept. Thinking of this makes her heartache.
However, if one's own side does not die, it will be used by the other side to intimidate George VI. Queen Elizabeth does not want to embarrass King George VI. The hatred between Britain and Germany is still waiting for George VI to report!
She has only a dead end.
"Why? What crime did you commit?" When he heard this, Rommelton asked, "Could it be that, in your eyes, we are the same as those spread by the outside world. They are all murderous demons?"
Then ~EbookFREE.me~ 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, recently Busy with military affairs, I haven't seen him for a long time."
After speaking, Rommel reached out and wanted to squeeze Margaret's face. Margaret was very scared and hid behind Elizabeth.
"So, what do you want to do with us?" Elizabeth asked.
"That's just to ask, what do you want." Rommel said: "I will give you two choices. First, go back to London. You are still 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 or Paris. In short, you can go to any country that belongs to the Eurozone. You can see if the living standards of the countries are better than before under the rule of Germany. ."
It was a pity that Rommel had not caught George VI, and it was difficult for Rommel to deal with these three mothers and daughters.
So, he kicked the ball back to Berlin in time. Now, the two methods he proposed are the decision made by Cyric.
