Chapter 660： Governor surrendered

Generally speaking, cruel battles are rare on the European battlefield. If you win a fight, you will fight or you will surrender. As a soldier, you are not ashamed. This is a consensus. If you run out of a prisoner of war camp, go back. If it is, it will be even more glorious.

Ordinarily, when the Spanish soldiers rushed into the Doge's Palace, the people in the Doge's Palace should surrender. Until now, the European battlefield has not had cruel street fighting! There has never been the cruelest battle like the removal of floors.

Now it is the same.

However, the British did not surrender.

They were wearing neat military uniforms, they were carrying Lee Enfield rifles with shiny bayonets on them, and among them, the British Governor Eddie had already drawn out his saber.

"Spaniards, come, let us have a fair contest!" Brigadier General Eddie shouted to each other in Spanish.

Holding the machine gun, Colonel Piment was shocked for a moment, and then reacted: "Okay, British, interesting enough, who's afraid! 262 regiment, bayonet!"

This is a gentleman's battle, since the other party wants to engage in a hand-to-hand fight, then he will accompany him!

Colonel Piment wanted to put the machine gun aside, and took a bayonet from the hands of his men around him. As a soldier who came from that civil war, he was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat at all, and he even had a yearning.

Seeing his bayonet pierce into the opponent's chest, especially the moment he took out the bayonet, the sight of blood rushing toward his face made him never forget it. He liked the **** smell.

He unbuttoned his buttons one by one, ready to fight.

"Idiot, the other party obviously has no bullets. We clearly have bullets here. Why do we have to fight them with bayonets?" Just when Colonel Piment wanted to do it, a voice came from beside him.

The consultant came over. After seeing the confrontation between the two sides, the consultant was immediately angry. Isn't this nonsense?

If there are bullets, who would fight a bayonet?

Hearing what the other party said, Eddie was taken aback.

Yes, they are out of bullets.

Their military preparations are very adequate, but their main preparations are in the Rock Mountain Fortifications. The Governor's Mansion here is usually at most a security task. In his guards, there is not much force at all.

Rifle and machine gun bullets are common. In order to prevent the opponent from rushing in, they almost evenly distribute all the bullets to the machine gun. Each person has only one magazine and ten bullets.

Therefore, they have no choice at all, put on their bayonets and prepare to usher in the most glorious moment in their lives, and die here with the Spanish!

The Spaniards on the opposite side were actually put on a set. They also put on bayonets, ready to fight with British soldiers.

The soldiers of these guards have solid military qualities. If you fight with a bayonet, at least you won't suffer a loss. If you kill one, you can earn one.

Eddie also wielded his commanding knife, hoping that he could smash a Spaniard to death. As the governor of Gibraltar, he could also go down in history.

But now, the words on the other side suddenly shocked him, and someone actually saw through their tricks!

"Hold up the machine gun, and if they don't surrender, fire immediately!" the consultant said impatiently.

When Colonel Piment was stunned when he saw the kicking door, the consultant thought it was something serious. After doing it for a long time, he wanted to fight a bayonet.

What you have is bullets, why do you want to fight the other side with bayonet? Isn't it a fool?

Pick up the machine gun! The opponent is standing in line now, waiting for the shot, oneself will fulfill them!

"Yes." Colonel Piment recovered and picked up the machine gun again: "British, surrender immediately, or we will shoot!"

Several machine guns were pointed at them, and as long as they buckled their fingers, they would be able to wipe out these British people!

Eddie's heart is breaking down. He wants to use his command knife to hack several Spaniards to death, but now, as long as he dashes forward, he will be beaten into a hornet's nest by the machine gun!

Just under the banner of the British Empire, they had planned to fight a fun and lively battle, but now, they only felt sweat on their backs and chills all over.

"Don't surrender? It's time to shoot." When this voice came out, Eddie's hand weakly dropped the command knife.

"We surrender. I am the Governor of Gibraltar. I want to be treated as prisoners that match my status." Brigadier General Eddie Walter said.

If he died in battle, he could still accept it, but now he is facing the risk of being slaughtered, so he has no choice but to surrender.

"Victory!" There was a cry from here.

With countless hands waving weapons, a forest of guns was formed on the square. Several Spanish soldiers ran over quickly, lowered the British flag and raised the Spanish flag.

Brigadier General Eddie was taken away. He turned his head and watched the Pozi flag fall down. He couldn't help but his nose became sour.

The British Empire has entered dusk!

"The main reason for the loss of Gibraltar is the betrayal of the French navy!" In the parliament, Churchill stood at the forefront and shouted loudly to the people in front: "I had long expected that the French navy would become an accomplice of Germany, but I didn't expect that they would come so soon!"

The fall of Gibraltar, for the United Kingdom, in addition to losing a colony, it also had a more terrifying meaning: the door to the Mediterranean was closed by the Germans!

From then on, Britain would not be able to go directly to the Mediterranean. Materials from the colonies in the Middle East had to bypass the southern tip of Africa. The fall of Gibraltar hit Britain even more.

This way ~www.novelhall.com~ Britain will be more difficult, after all, Britain now needs the materials from the colony more!

At this time, in the parliament, Churchill was still sternly expressing his views: "In fact, even if Gibraltar is in our hands, we cannot guarantee the safety of Mediterranean navigation. German fighters can start from France and from France. Spain takes off and will launch attacks on our merchant ships at any time. Therefore, after the loss of our advantage on the European continent, we are no longer able to maintain the Mediterranean route."

Churchill's remarks, of course, are trying to play down the impact, whether the fight or not, the result is the same, the British merchant ship must go far.

"Now, we must see that in North Africa, in Egypt, there will definitely be another battle. I suggest that we should immediately form an army to support Africa and try to protect our colony." Churchill continued to speak.

Now, just to deal with the possible cross-sea landing of the Germans, it is already stretched, and how to organize the North African Army? There was a burst of conversation below.

"Now, we don't see any hope of fighting, so why not sign a peace agreement with Germany." At this moment, a voice came from below.
