Chapter 580 For Charles

Namur City Hall, Headquarters of the 1st Belgian Special Reconnaissance Corps.

Albert I was sitting at the table in the lounge enjoying breakfast, his brows furrowed and depressed.

It's not that the breakfast is not rich enough. As a king, he can sit in his own country and enjoy breakfast at the same level as the Shire. What else is there to complain about?

It's not because the living place is not comfortable enough. It's snowing heavily outside and the stove is burning indoors to feel as warm as spring. It's much better than the environment where soldiers on the front line confront the enemy in the freezing cold.

He was unhappy because Charles was not in Belgium.

As soon as Charles left Belgium, Albert I seemed to have his backbone ripped out, losing all confidence and courage.

I can't do this, Albert I told himself over and over again.

Will I not be able to fight if I leave the Shire?

Brigadier General Eden won't be able to command the troops?

There are still 7 million people in Belgium. Can't they find someone who can defend the country like Charles?

Albert I tried to use these excuses to cheer himself up and cheer himself up again. He even tried to straighten his chest and warned himself to face all this bravely.

Then the next second, he slumped on the dining table like a deflated rubber ball. He couldn't even hold the knife and fork steady, and they slid feebly down the table along his limp fingertips.

Yes, Belgium cannot live without the Charre.

Belgium without Charles is like a small shrimp that will be slapped to death at any time in the war between several major powers.

Even though the Charles has regained the important towns of Namur, Brussels and Antwerp, and connected them into a complete line of defense.

He even gave a defense plan.

But Charles is the soul of the army. Without him, everyone has lost the confidence to fight the German army, including Brigadier General Eden!

Albert I could not help but wailed in his heart:

"God, there are over 200,000 people in the 6th Army, and Charles is the commander. Does that mean that the armored and mechanized units in Belgium will also be transferred?"

"It's enough to transfer the troops. Will Charles just stay in the Somme and never come back?"

"The point is Charles. All they need to do is keep Charles. I will send the First Special Reconnaissance Army to him as soon as possible... No, I will hand over all the troops to him."

…

"Your Majesty." Just as Albert I was thinking wildly, Brigadier Eden hurried in from the war room, arriving before anyone else arrived: "Your Majesty, Charles is in Belgium!"

"What?" Albert I was surprised and delighted: "He's back? Why didn't I know?"

"Char may not be able to inform you." Brigadier General Eden's expression was a little strange, and there was some anger in his eyes.

"What?" Albert I looked confused: "What do you mean? He couldn't notify me?"

"Yes." Brigadier General Eden nodded: "The 6th Army is also in Belgium, not far from us, in Gembloux, more than 30 kilometers away."

Albert I's face gradually became heavy. He had heard that a French army was asking Blue to change defenses, but the French did not tell him that it was Charles's 6th Army.

Then he became happy again: "This is a good thing, General, all the troops of the Shire are here..."

"Your Majesty." Brigadier General Eden interrupted Albert I: "The news I got is that they seem to control the Shire."

"What?" Albert I stood up with a "Teng" sound, and his expression changed drastically: "They control Charles? Where did they get the information? Is it reliable?"

Brigadier General Eden replied: "I obtained the information from the militia, but it has not been confirmed yet."

The 6th Army is in Belgium. Even if Gamelin strictly blocks information from the outside world, contact with the outside world is inevitable, such as purchasing supplies, and the news will more or less reach the ears of the Belgian militiamen.

Brigadier General Eden added: "They said it was because of the Parliament. The French Parliament sent a group of officers to replace all the middle and high-level officers of the 6th Army."

Albert I suddenly understood. He nodded thoughtfully, his tone full of anger: "Yes, these bastards in the Parliament always regard Charles as their enemy. It's okay that Charles only has 20,000 troops. There are more than 20 Ten thousand troops will frighten them!"

"What should we do?" Brigadier General Eden asked.

Albert I snorted: "If you dare to act recklessly in Belgium, they obviously don't take me as the king seriously!"

He did not hesitate and spoke firmly:

"The 3rd Infantry Division of the Special Reconnaissance Corps will stay in garrison, and the other two divisions will be transferred to Gembloux immediately!"

"In addition, no matter how many militiamen there are nearby, they will all be transferred to Gembulu."

Brigadier General Eden was a little anxious: "Your Majesty, even if all are mobilized, there will only be about 60,000 people, while the French 6th Army has more than 200,000 people..."

"No, General Eden." Albert I interrupted Brigadier General Eden: "You think it's 60,000 people versus more than 200,000 French people? You forgot whose side the French soldiers are on!"

Brigadier General Eden instantly understood that the French soldiers were on the side of Charles.

The Belgian army was transferred to Jean Bleu, which was 60,000 Belgian troops plus 200,000 French troops, and nearly 300,000 troops to deal with the officers sent by the MPs to distract the Charles.

However, Brigadier General Eden still advised: "But France..."

This made Albert I hesitate. With Belgium's current status and situation, it was not a good choice to offend the French Parliament.

As a king and a mature politician, he should probably consider the national interests.

But Albert I only hesitated for a moment, and he quickly thought:

"So what if we offend Britain and France at the same time?"

"Only Charles can lead Belgium to regain its lost territory and resist attacks from any country, including Britain and France!"

"So now is an opportunity, a huge opportunity! The French Parliament is pushing the Charles out, and Belgium is just in time to catch this incredible wealth!"

Thinking of this, Albert I not only did not change the order but became more determined: "Immediately, execute the order!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Brigadier General Eden responded and hurried down to deliver the order.

Albert I walked to the window with a smile. His eyes jumped across the window to the falling snowflakes outside, and he was in a good mood for a moment.

Belgium may become one of the great powers because of this incident. Just wait and regret it, you idiots!

At this time, Brigadier General Eden returned: "Your Majesty, do we need to inform General Tijani?"

Albert I understood Brigadier General Eden's intention. If he brought Tijani with him, he could weaken the confrontation between Belgium and France. If there was any responsibility, he could still put it on Tijani. After all, Tijani was a French general.

But Albert I shook his head without any hesitation: "No, don't say anything!"

What he wants is a confrontation with France, for the sake of Charles!
