Battle of the Third Reich

On the third morning after the German head of state arrived in the UK, a heavily guarded convoy slowly drove into Bijinshan Air Force Base. ←, six German three-wheel motorcycles were on the way, followed by four Austin official cars, filled with British policemen wearing black high-top helmets, and in the middle of the line was a Daimler monarch luxury The car, followed by four Austins filled with royal guards, was finally suppressed by a German six-wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle.

The German soldiers in front of the crossing barrier pulled up the Luzhai and the nail board early. When the convoy passed the checkpoint, all the German officers and soldiers in line stood in a neat queue to salute the convoy, and the soldiers on the roadside armed patrol stood on the spot to hold Gun salute.

The defensive layout of the Jinshan base is more externally tight and internally loose, because the security actions cannot interfere with the free movement of the head of state. Xu Jun has developed the habit of going out for a walk every evening, and it is best not to have idle people in the field of vision when the head of state is distracted.

After passing the three checkpoints unimpeded, the convoy entered the core area of ​​the station. Motor and guard vehicles were stopped by the road under the direction of the gendarmerie. Only Daimler was allowed to move on. .

"Everyone is standing upright!" Captain Stark, the commander of the guard flag team, called out loudly, and then he pulled out the ceremonial knife and stood on his forehead.

The reddish-brown luxury car parked steadily in front of the main entrance of the German Heads of Temporary Residence. Xu Jun had already taken a group of generals and adjutants on the steps to wait. When the car stopped, a major army officer stepped forward and opened the doors for the passengers. The passenger in the car lowered his head slightly and got out of the car. He first stood still and calmed down, while observing the surrounding environment.

"Salute!" Captain Stark moved the blade flexibly to complete a beautiful knife throwing ceremony, and the soldiers of the Guard Banner raised their guns to pay tribute. George VI was also considered a monarch who had seen the world, but the momentum displayed by the head of state guard flag team still surprised him a bit. Although the Royal Guards are also very good at this kind of ritual performance, they always feel a little worse than these Germans. George VI thought about it secretly, and it may have something to do with the military uniform.

"Welcome. Glad to be able to see you, Your Majesty King George." Xu Jun went down the steps and first reached out to George VI.

"Ah, I am also very happy to see you. Your Excellency." George VI quickly reached out and held tightly with Xu Jun.

Although he is far superior to the other in terms of status, the identity of a defeater is enough to offset all the gaps between the two sides. Looking back, George VI even felt that he might have been rude. This is no longer the time for him to show off the king's power. So the King of England shook Xu Jun's hand vigorously, trying to make up for the previous mistake. But then he realized that the imperial leader, who was seventeen years younger than himself, did not care about these details at all.

After releasing George VI's hand, Xu Jun began to warmly introduce the people who were greeted to the king. Among these people, except for Weierle, he was only familiar with other people's names in the battle report of the British army. After a few glances.

"Nice to meet you, Your Excellency...I'm so happy...I'm glad... I have long admired your name, Your Excellency..." George VI shook hands with the German generals present, his manners were very elegant, and his attitude was unusually approachable. Everyone knew that the king had a stuttering problem, so they just nodded respectfully. There is no more polite nonsense.

"Your Majesty, please come with me. In order to welcome you, my subordinates have made a lot of preparations." After the introduction by both parties, Xu Jun invited George VI to enter the apartment behind him.

This was originally a senior officer's apartment in the Air Force. In fact, it was more like a fully equipped luxury hotel, with beautifully decorated restaurants, ballrooms, bars, conference rooms, and even a dedicated service staff and chefs. But at this time, all these jobs were replaced by German personnel. None of these waiters and chefs have received systematic military training. The military valued their expertise before joining the army, so in essence these people should be considered military employees. They were awarded military ranks only for the convenience of personnel management.

It’s still too early for lunch, so Xu Jun decided to talk casually with George VI during this time. He had read a lot of information about the king from historical records before, but he always felt that the British wrote it. The things are somewhat unreliable. So if you want to know more about this king, it is better to communicate face to face.

Xu Jun introduced George VI into the small living room downstairs. Only Weiler and the king’s attendants were with him. It seems that the head of state will discuss sensitive topics with the other party from the beginning. Other generals and entourages are acquainted. Run to the entertainment room and lounge on the other side of the corridor to smoke and chat.

"The weather is good today, His Majesty King George." Both sides sat down. In accordance with British practice, Xu Jun talked about the weather.

"Yes, London rarely had such clear weather this past month." George VI replied slowly. He spoke very slowly, trying to make every word clear.

Under the leadership of Disenhofen, the service soldiers pushed into the small cart and placed a beautiful refreshment on the small round table in front of both parties.

"I can understand your current mood, Your Majesty. So I think we still discard those red tapes and talk openly. I think this is true communication with each other. I always object to wasting a lot of time in politeness and greetings, especially It is this time, time is extremely precious for both of us. The British people are still suffering from the war. We should not extend this deadline anymore." Xu Jun turned to take over after he finished speaking in one breath. Disenhofen handed over the green tea. He nodded slightly to his adjutant.

"The empire is in a difficult situation now, and we need German support and assistance."

George VI has learned from Chamberlain the real situation in Britain now. It can be said that this empire is now standing on the edge of a cliff. If you meet someone with a heart and push it behind your back, the final result will be unbearable.

The situation of the weak and strong branches that the British central government is most worried about has already begun to emerge. Chamberlain could not come up with an effective way to change this situation for a while. Eventually Chamberlain proposed a method that is not a way, that is, as soon as possible. With the support of a large number of outside forces, a strong image of the central government of the empire was re-established, even if it was a false illusion. It is also better than sitting and watching the whole empire system falling apart.

But now it is only those powerful German invaders, the mortal enemies of the British Empire, who are capable and capable of helping the British government. Chamberlain knew that this idea was somewhat unrealistic, and why did the Germans have to contribute to the rescue of Britain. You have to know that the two sides were still in a life-and-death battle a week ago. It is impossible for a friendly union to fall in love after a week.

However, as an imperial prime minister, especially a prime minister who defeated a country, he has no power to choose one from another, even if there is a chance. He must also grasp it because he knows how long his body has been difficult to support, and he must not give up any chance of saving this country before he dies. The most likely way to impress the Germans today is to rely on the king to come forward personally. Presumably the German head of state should not refuse a king’s request very straightforwardly. With only a slight loosening, he has a way to see stitches and foxes. Complete the preliminary plan.

"Is the situation serious? Your Majesty" Xu Jun seems not to be surprised by the speech of George VI. He is holding the blue and white porcelain tea bowl and slowly skimming the tea leaves floating on the water with the lid.

"The operation of the Central Council has almost stalled, and the operation of the counties, cities and counties has become chaotic. A large number of refugees have moved northwards to place severe pressure on the cities in the central empire and Scotland. It also started to deteriorate, even with professional robbery gangs that hadn't appeared in a long time before.

The police force in the English countryside is limited, especially those robbers have obtained a lot of military equipment. At present, although we have tried our best to control the spread of public opinion, panic has begun to spread in some towns and villages. Moreover, our emergency supplies reserves have been consumed by more than half. If they cannot be replenished within a short period of time, I am afraid that even the most basic personal food supplies cannot be guaranteed. "This paragraph took George VI a lot of time. He seriously told Xu Jun one by one the crisis facing the empire. The king's confession at the moment made Xu Jun feel awe-inspiring, just like Weiler As said, this is a good man, a qualified king.

"I have some knowledge of these situations. The British Provisional Cabinet has also made corresponding requests. We can provide security assistance, but your majesty, you know, this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time, even for powerful ones. For Germany, this is also a very difficult test.

Let’s talk about the material issue, which involves a wide range of fields. Procurement, storage, security, transportation, distribution must be considered in all aspects. If we cannot formulate a complete and detailed plan, I am afraid that we will invest no more power. Can do more with less. At the same time, there must be a clear premise before that. The British government should unconditionally give Germany full cooperation. I don’t want our two parties’ efforts to be hindered by some minor problems. "Xu Jun finished putting the tea bowl on the round table."

"We used to give the temporary cabinet a list of London municipal supplies and deployments, but so far none of the items on the list have been fulfilled. I know this cannot be blamed on Mr. Chamberlain, he is a serious and responsible person, and we are There is no denying that we know where the problem is. Your corrupt and slow bureaucracy may only be as good as the British. If we were to do it as our German officials, I would have let him go to Saxonyhausen There are stones." Xu Jun's elbows supported the armrests of the sofa, and he said solemnly to George VI.

Seeing that the king seemed a little confused, Mr. Cooper, the personal servant, bent down and warned in the king's ear. "Your Majesty, Sachsenhausen is a concentration camp, near Berlin." George VI suddenly realized that he quickly nodded to Xu Jun.

"You agree with it, believe me, Your Majesty. In our Germany, this method is very effective every time." Xu Jun turned to look at Weierle, and found that his chief of staff was wiping his glasses seriously with his head down. Because it would be rude to laugh out loud on the spot, the chief of staff held his breath hard.

"We are negotiating with European suppliers about the supplement of materials. If necessary, we can even mobilize the German strategic reserves. You don’t have to worry about this. The rest is just a matter of time. You need to know how to allocate such large-scale materials. Not a job that can be completed in a day or two.

In addition, I am very sorry that we cannot lift the sea blockade against the United Kingdom for the time being. In addition to the reasons for the safety of the route, we must also prevent some people from escaping from the sea. These people have been determined by Germany to be responsible for this war. I think you have already read it, Your Majesty. Xu Jun sat upright and opened the cigar box on the table.

"Your Majesty, please allow me..."

"It doesn't matter, you are free, Your Excellency." George VI does not smoke, but he never prevents others from spitting in front of him. To be honest, he has been used to Churchill for a long time. The taste of the cigar was strange.

"Your Majesty, in addition to material issues, what help do you need from the German side?" Xu Jun lit the cigar and threw the smashed matches into the ashtray on the round table.

"I hope that the German side can release the British prisoners of war captured in this war as soon as possible." George VI asked with some anxiety, he knew that this was a very sensitive issue, especially since the armistice negotiations had just begun. This requirement is obviously not in compliance.

"Your Majesty...you mean, British Expeditionary Force?" Xu Jun frowned.

"I don't think it's time to talk about this issue, Your Majesty."

"However, the British government must have an army that can maintain the authority of the government. Our overseas colonies have shown signs of trying to break away from local control." George VI began to stammer again in anxiety.

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the issue about the release of prisoners of war is very complicated. I have to meet with the staff of the headquarters to discuss it. I can’t give you an answer for the time being. But...I think I might be able to give you a suggestion, you see What about this plan, we can..." Xu Jun moved the tea bowl on the table to the side and leaned over to whisper to George VI.
