"Your Majesty, then what should we do? Should we stop the Germans? The Second Fleet and the Third Fleet have entered combat readiness! The 31st Special Mixed Fleet can only reach the Portuguese waters in two days!"
Marshal Li Dingxin asked. The defense zones of the Third Fleet are the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, among which the Mediterranean Sea is the focus of defense! The 31st Special Mixed Fleet is a fleet composed of two aircraft carrier battle groups, stationed in Gibraltar. If the order is issued,
It is possible to arrive in Portugal's waters in two days and launch an attack on the Germans!
Wang Yuze was a little hesitant. If China intervened forcibly, it would be very likely to trigger a war between China and Germany! Although China is not afraid of Germany, it has to admit that China is not ready for the war yet! The latest island
Class' aircraft carriers will not be able to achieve combat effectiveness until next year. The new tanks and armored vehicles needed by the Army are still undergoing final testing and will be mass-produced soon. If the war starts now, even if China can win in the end, it may still be a tragic victory.
The victory is not what Wang Yuze hopes to see!
"If we go to war with the Germans now, can we win in the end?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, if the war starts now, the final victory will definitely belong to us! However, we may have to pay a huge price! Initial estimates, the casualties are at least five times that of the last world war!" Chief of General Staff Cai Yun
The Marshal said! In the last battle, the casualties of the Chinese army were more than 500,000! However, Germany is not a weak country. Although there is still a certain gap between the army, navy and air force and China, the gap is not very large.
Big! If China wants to defeat such a country, the losses it will definitely be huge!
"Your Majesty, frankly, now is not the best time to start a war! The Army's 'Leopard' tank is undergoing final testing, and it is expected to be mass-produced by the end of the year, and then equip the troops! Other types of tanks and armored vehicles,
Testing is also underway! The current tanks and armored vehicles in the Army are not much different from the main tanks and armored vehicles of the German Army! I think the Air Force and Navy are almost like this!" said Army Minister Zhao Bowen!
Wang Yuze looked at Air Force Minister Marshal Long Feiyu.
"Your Majesty, the Air Force's new fighter jets and bombers are also undergoing final testing and have not entered the mass production stage yet! If we wait until next year, the fighter jets used by the Air Force will significantly lead the Germans!" Marshal Long Feiyu said.
Wang Yuze nodded. It seems that now is not the best time to start a war! China has invested a lot in advanced weapons, but because Wang Yuze's requirements are too high, this makes the development process very difficult! Fortunately, now we are finally going to.
Seeing the results! When this group of advanced weapons and equipment troops form combat effectiveness, the combat power of the Chinese army will once again surpass Germany significantly! At that time, it will be relatively easier for China to win the war.

"Father, since that's the case, then let the Germans go for the time being! Anyway, even if they occupy Portugal, or Portugal turns to Germany, it will not have much impact on us!" said the Crown Prince Wang Zirui!
"Yes, Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right! The little Portugal has no impact on us! Although the geographical location of Portugal is very important, Spain has turned to the Germans, otherwise the Germans would not have easily been
To complete this action! Under such circumstances, whether Portugal will turn to Germany is no longer important to us!" said Marshal Cai Yun, the Chief of Staff. After Spain turned to Germany, it was enough to cut off the Strait of Gibraltar.
Of course, China will try its best to open up the Strait of Gibraltar, and it will be very difficult for Germany to block the Strait of Gibraltar! Therefore, a small Portugal will not have much impact on the future situation!
"Have the Portuguese agreed to send troops in?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Your Majesty, the Portuguese rejected our request! They hope that we can stop the German attack on Portugal, but they do not want us to station troops in Portugal!" said Foreign Minister Gu Weijun!
"Hmph! What they think is quite beautiful!" Wang Yuze said coldly! The Portuguese hoped that China would save their lives at this critical moment, but at the same time they did not want China to control Portugal! How could this be possible in this world?
A cheap thing? Wanting to get rich rewards without paying a certain price is simply a delusion!
"Your Majesty, since the Portuguese are ungrateful, then we don't need to pay attention to them!" said Marshal Li Dingxin, the Minister of Navy!
"Well! But what kind of reaction did the Germans react?" Wang Yuze continued to ask.
"German Ambassador to China Clinder said that Germany has no ambitions for Portugal! They are just requested by Manuel II to help him restore his rule in Portugal! Wait until Manuel II's rule
After consolidation, they will evacuate from Portugal!" Gu Weijun said.
"Excuse! This is obviously an excuse! Manuel II has been in Germany for several years, and it was only at this time that Germany could help Manuel II restore his rule. This is obviously an ulterior motive!
"Crown Prince Wang Zirui said.
"Your Majesty, I think that the reason why the Germans do this is probably because of the Azores! Under our pressure, the Germans know that it will be very difficult to obtain the Azores! The Portuguese government has our support, and
Will not agree to the Germans' request! Therefore, the Germans chose another way to overthrow the rule of Sidonio Bais and support the restoration of Manuel II! Then they will go from Manuel II
Get the Azores in your hand! It is very likely that the Germans and Manuel II have reached an agreement, and the reward Manuel II paid is the Azores!" said Marshal Cai Yun, the chief of staff.
Wang Yuze nodded. Marshal Cai Yun's analysis is indeed very reasonable! The Germans have done so many things, and the final attempt is very likely to be the Azores. This will break China's blockade against Germany and enable the German Navy to
Break out of the North Sea and enter the Atlantic Ocean!
"Your Majesty, then in this case, we must come forward! The Germans cannot get the Azores! Otherwise, this will cause great trouble to the Second Fleet!" Marshal Li Dingxin, the Minister of Navy, said!
"So, do you have any countermeasures?" Wang Yuze asked.
"Father, we can take the lead in capturing the Azores! Didn't the Second Fleet have an aircraft carrier battle group operating in the waters near the Azores? Portugal only has some policemen on the Azores, and there are no troops stationed. We
You can easily capture what is there!" Crown Prince Wang Zirui suggested!
"But what about the reason? We need a reason to explain it!" Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi said!
"The reason is also very simple! The Azores are an important international port on the Atlantic Ocean. Changes in Portugal's political situation have affected the stability of the Azores, which will affect the routes on the Atlantic Ocean! We can manage Asia on behalf of the Portuguese government.
The Zor Islands, after the situation in Portugal stabilizes, return the Azores to the Portuguese government!" Wang Zirui said!
"Haha! Your Highness, this method is pretty good!" Marshal Li Dingxin, the Minister of Navy, said with a smile! This is obviously Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou!
"If everyone has no objection, then let's do it like this! The Ministry of Foreign Affairs notified the Portuguese government and announced to other countries that in order to ensure the stability of the Atlantic route, we will manage the Azores instead of the Portuguese government from now on! The Ministry of Admiralty will give the Ministry of Navy to
The Second Fleet launches to attack the Azores and prepares to build a military base on the Azores, deploy troops, warships and fighter planes, etc.!" Wang Yuze said. He has made up his mind to forcibly capture the Azores.
As for when to return it to Portugal, let’s wait for a hundred years first!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone replied!
At 9 a.m. Beijing time on May 15, China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that in view of the tension in Portugal, in order to ensure the safety of the Atlantic route, the Chinese Navy will take over the defense of the Azores until the political situation in Portugal is stable.
The Isles returned to the Portuguese government! The news announced by China immediately caused an uproar in the world, and the Germans even jumped out to respond immediately! German Ambassador to China Clinder declared at the press conference that China is forcibly occupying Portugal
Portugal has the ability to ensure the stability of the Azores! However, Portugal's Ambassador to China Carol didn't say much, which made Ambassador Clinder's view very pale!
China has no expression of opposition to Germany! China is determined to seize the Azores, but it will not be possible for the Germans to change their protests!
In fact, at 4 pm local time on May 14th, local time in the Azores, the aircraft carrier "Qingchengshan" of the Chinese Navy's Second Fleet was cruising in the waters near the Azores.
The battle group began to march towards the Azores!
At 5:40 pm, the Chinese Navy arrived at the Hero Port of Tsera Island in the central Azores. Fighters taking off from the aircraft carrier "Qingchengshan" hovered on Tsera Island, and several Chinese Navy destroyers were even more
Stormed directly into the port! Hundreds of Marines got off the destroyer, boarded Tsera Island, and then captured it! During this process, several Portuguese policemen on the island did not resist at all
