At the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, on a long and narrow peninsula along the Mediterranean coast, there is a triangular rock area.
There are neither rivers, springs nor cultivated land here. The vegetables, food and fresh water needed by the residents are all supplied from the outside. It can be said that almost no one wants to live here.
However, the geographical location here is quite important. It is connected with Gibraltar in Spain in the north and bordered on the Mediterranean in the East, West and south. The southern part faces the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the throat of the sea passage between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
Yes, this is Gibraltar. Due to its unique geographical location, although it is only a small area lacking resources, Britain and Spain have competed for it for more than 300 years.
Gibraltar is the bridgehead on the North Bank of the Strait of Gibraltar, which can effectively control the sea channel. It is only more than ten kilometers away from xiuda port on the South Bank of the Strait, and it is easy to block the Strait.
In particular, with the opening of the Suez Canal, the Strait of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal play a role in shortening the shipping distance between the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
In 1588, an unprecedented naval battle was fought between Britain and Spain, and finally ended with the collapse of Spain's "invincible fleet". The war established Britain's status as the world's No. 1 naval power, and the foundation of the "sun never sets Empire" was laid.
The rise of Britain began. Then, in 1704, Britain launched a war with the Netherlands against the West and occupied Gibraltar, which became a British colony.
From the perspective of territory, Gibraltar is completely on Spanish territory, but it has become a British colony. Therefore, over the years, Spain has never given up its claim to recover Gibraltar's sovereignty. Unfortunately, there has been no progress.
As a sun never sets Empire, Britain has strong military strength. Now, Britain has built various military bases in Gibraltar, which is one of the most important strategic places in Britain.
Unfortunately, the British fleet has lost its glory.
With the collapse of fleet h, Britain's maritime hegemony is once again facing serious challenges, including the hegemony of the Mediterranean!
The British have been struggling, but what they didn't expect is that even the French attacked them!
Perhaps, in the eyes of the British, it's good that they didn't fight others, especially France. In their eyes, France did wrong. They surrendered to Germany and stood with their enemies!
The French Navy should all be transferred to Britain and under British command. This is the right way!
As for the fact that the French have to fight back, it is really unexpected for everyone.
The sun slowly slid down from the West. When the last afterglow of the sunset disappeared on the sea in the west, the whole Gibraltar also entered the darkness.
It was originally a tiny place. It can even be said that the residents living in Gibraltar now mainly live by serving the British army. Now, it stopped just after dark.
If you look at the topographic map, you can find that a huge mountain range occupies almost the eastern and central part of Gibraltar. This is the rock mountain of Gibraltar.
It seems that it suddenly appears out of thin air. It stands like a rock mountain on the sea. Few places in the world are more unforgettable than the rock mountain of Gibraltar.
This 1396 foot high mountain belongs to the limestone mountain in the Jurassic period. It is magnificent. It is the product of the violent collision between the African plate and the European plate about 55 million years ago.
Therefore, this rock mountain is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In particular, after the British occupied it, a complex underground exit and tunnel system was built, which can be said to be as solid as gold.
Otherwise, the Spanish would have sent troops to occupy it.
At the same time, in the west of the rock mountain, it is a flat land and a natural harbor. The main residents live in the middle of the west of the rock mountain.
Although there is a power station in the north of the urban area, which is dedicated to the use of the whole city, during this period, priority is given to supplying power to the troops, and ordinary citizens are in the dark at night.
On the high rock mountain, a MK LV MK VL radar is in operation. A steady stream of power is radiated through its antenna, transformed into electromagnetic waves and scanning the sea.
In this era, German radio technology has come to the forefront, especially the development of transistors, which has enabled Germany to cross this era. At the same time, British electronic technology is also characteristic.
In 35 years, Britain also invented radar, and now deployed here is the sea search radar specially developed for the naval coastal defense forces.
As long as you occupy Gibraltar, you can control the Strait here, which is equivalent to blocking the throat of the Mediterranean. Britain has always attached great importance to this strategic place.
Now, in the computer room, several British soldiers are on duty.
Next to the radar, there is a high-power searchlight. Generally speaking, they will turn on the searchlight only after the radar finds the target. After all, the radar is much farther than the searchlight.
As time goes by, radar soldiers constantly rub their eyes. This task is quite boring and eye-consuming.
Suddenly, a snowflake appeared on the radar screen in front of him.
For a moment, he was stunned. Then, he couldn't help shouting, "John, our machine is out of order again!"
The reliability of radar in this era is quite low, and various faults often occur. Generally speaking, the possibility of electronic tube burning is the greatest.
It is also a basic task for radar soldiers to check faults.
Hearing his cry, John went to the cabinet next to him and opened the door outside. Inside, there were dense electronic circuits. You could see that "bulbs" were on. These bulbs were electron tubes.
Which one is black indicates that there is a fault. They were very experienced in the past.
But this time, I opened the cabinet door, but I didn't see the light bulb black.
No, if other electronic circuits fail, it will be troublesome! They immediately frowned.
"Report to the commander that our radar is broken and ask them to send engineers to repair it." Said the radar monitor.
Well, the next time, they can have a good sleep.
Generally speaking, ships sail from here during the day. What can they do 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. The snowflakes are disturbed by a high-power jammer in nearby Spain!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
