Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 192: Chaos in the Imperial City (2)

"Have you heard? Sir, the Prime Minister summoned an emergency meeting of the wartime cabinet last night. ¥f. ¥f" Ian took a copy of the Times newspaper that day, and the hotel’s waiter ironed it very well. Although the ink on the paper overflowed with ink, there was no ink on the fingers.

"Oh, it's already spread outside. A lot of people are asking me the same question this morning, as if everyone is interested in this." Sir Faye stood in front of the window with a cup of black tea, staring with disgust. Hyde Park is still under construction.

"Miss Anne, have you finished the calculation?" Fay asked back.

"Sir, it's already calculated, and the accounts are completely correct." The female secretary sitting behind the desk answered softly.

"Oh, good, Miss Anne, you lock the account book in the hotel safe. You will have a holiday this afternoon. I will call you if something happens." Fay said kindly to his new secretary.

"Thank you, Mr. Sir, then I will say goodbye, Sir, Mr. Ian." The pretty blonde stood up and said goodbye to the two men in the room, carrying a briefcase with a book, twisting beautifully The figure walked out of the door of the suite.

"It's a good girl, both parents have passed away. His father and I were old friends, so when she came to me for help, I gave her the job."

"You have always been so generous and kind, Sir Faye." Ian said with a sincere compliment.

"Well, there are no outsiders present, what do you want to know, Bruce." Fay walked to his desk and put down the teacup.

"Things about the US entering the war..."

"This is Churchill thinking all by himself. Americans just want to stay out of business at this time. Many people over there are regretting it. They are trying to show their way to the Germans. How can they intervene for the life and death of two hundred mercenaries? A war doomed to failure."

Sir Faye picked up the cigarette case from the table and pulled out a "Lucky" cigarette. "Look, this is the only thing they can provide us with an unlimited amount, and each box costs 20 cents more than their domestic counterparts."

"Do you think so too? The British Empire is destined to fail in this war." Ian put the newspaper on the coffee table.

"Last night you should have heard the gunfire outside the city, and the Germans could attack London at any time. Now it is not our army that prevents these soldiers from rushing to burn and looting, but their head of state." Sir Faye ordered Holding a cigarette, took a sip.

"This taste is really hard to say, but it's really refreshing."

Fay went to the single sofa and sat down. Put the cigarette case on the coffee table.

"You are still too young to have experienced a real political game, otherwise you should have smelled this kind of strange atmosphere in the city of London now. The people standing at the top of the pyramid are always better informed than the lower ants, they never will It will put you in a desperate situation. But you see, there is a noble abandoned city to escape. What makes them have such courage to stay in this city that will definitely fall, you think they are ready to resist in the end Martyrdom?" Sir Faye spit out smog smugly.

"You mean... no?"

"Of course not, these are smart people, where would they be willing to hold a broken ship that must be sunk, they have long found their own escape route, only to wait for the empire to collapse, hug the thigh of the new master." Fay Jazz took a sip of cigarettes, and the expression on his face seemed to dismiss the behavior of his colleagues.

"Do you think that the cabinet is blind, would you be fooled by the madman Churchill? Don't say we are in the House of Lords. The chaebols outside the court have enough strength to launch impeachment bills, overthrow the war cabinet, and stop the current chaos. "Fei pressed the cigarette in his ashtray.

"But you see, Bruce, my friend. No one is willing to stand up and do this. Why? Because everyone knows that this location is a fire pit and an altar, and those sitting on it will surely become tragic victims. If Churchill is overthrown , Whichever comes to power. The Conservative Party? The Labor Party? The Liberal Democratic Party? The non-partisan? Who wants to lead a war that will never be won."

"You mean. Churchill is actually a victim?" Ian felt like he heard the inside story today. He looked at the jazz with a respectful look and wanted to get more information from the other party's mouth.

"Now only he and the fools around him, and the wooden heads in the army thought. The war cabinet still controlled everything. They didn't know that they had actually been abandoned by the entire upper class, and they were still there daydreaming and playing with them. War games. But I didn’t know that their actions were reported to the Germans through various channels. They are not only facing the invaders, but also the domestic interest groups. In addition to staying in the basement No one believes that the group of poor worms can win this war." Sir Faye re-lighted a cigarette.

"It's unbelievable, if Britain fails. Don't these people lose a lot of benefits?" Ian's stunned expression made Sir Fay very satisfied.

"I had the same idea as you before. It was not until two days ago that I was mentioned by a few seniors of the House of Lords that I realized that this is the depth of qualifications and I can only accumulate slowly on my own." Sir Fay stood up. , Walked to the desk and picked up his teacup.

"This empire has been in peace for too long, and the entire class has solidified. Seven hundred years have passed, and the nobles still occupied the dominant position of the country. Why can we achieve this is that we have learned to balance and compromise in the distribution of interests. However, the dumping of interests is inevitable, and some forces that have power will certainly find ways to benefit themselves and their supporters. The problem is that these power-holding forces have stayed in those positions for too long and have accumulated for many years. , Will definitely damage the interests of a large number of people, resulting in unfair distribution.

This is the problem of the Windsor royal family. They and their favored officials occupy too much interest and power, which makes many nobles feel dissatisfied, but there has never been a chance to change it. In the last war, everyone used the opportunity to change this situation, but the royal family used the name changing method to avoid the past. This time I encountered the opportunity to completely reshuffle the card, how could it not be tempting. "Sir Fay has become a scholar and expert, and all kinds of allusions are readily available.

"But won't the Germans take away more benefits?"

"The Germans can't occupy this place forever. All they can take away is the superficial benefits. You can't imagine the true heritage of this country. As long as the roots are still there, the empire will live on. Whoever wants to rule England, we must cooperate with the local forces here. The Germans are not stupid. They certainly know how to choose. This is a favorable deal for both parties. The Germans take what they want, and we take the rest." Sir Faye took a sip of tea, frowned, and then poured the cold black tea into the spit in the desk.

"What about the royal family? Are they really going to overthrow the royal family?" Ian stared at the jazz with wide eyes, as if frightened by the other party's words, but was not excited in her heart. What I heard here today is enough to exchange one by one. Grade Iron Cross.

"The royal family speculated on both sides and thought we didn't know. It is not difficult to overthrow them now. The key depends on the attitude of the Germans. After all, these people have German ancestry. But it is inevitable to be suppressed. Those lords have long been The benefits are distributed privately, and the royal family may have to spit out most of the share to satisfy everyone.

But I always think that the old guys are playing with fire. If the Germans choose to support the royal family, then everything will be empty talk. Do you think the royal family did not plan for themselves? The war cabinet once proposed that the royal family retreat to Canada. Do you know why the royal family has not yet evacuated? "

"Why?" Ian looked curious.

"Because the king is firmly opposed, he knows better than anyone else, as long as they leave the UK, they will never be able to return." Fay re-made a cup of hot tea and took a sip. He sat back on the sofa and put down with satisfaction. cup.

"The same group of guys in the wartime cabinet, no one wants to go to the other side of the Atlantic to form a government in exile, and lead a group of Ugly people to fight an unwinnable battle. The Kings' family is also the same, their roots are here, they leave the UK, they have nothing No, not to mention, according to reliable sources, the Germans still hold the Duke of Windsor and the Earl of Mountbatten. They are fully capable of raising a new royal family. This is what most worried our lord, so he will Determined to stay in Buckingham Palace without dying.

"Count Mountbatten? Didn't you hear that he was missing with his warship while performing his mission?"

"The Naval Intelligence Service found the Type H destroyer Tin Hou under his command in the German ship sequence. The destroyer looked unscathed. Although we do not know the specifics, we can infer that the prince and his The crew should have fallen into the hands of the Germans. According to my opinion, he might have surrendered to his German relatives." Sir Fay had a bad impression of the Louise kid, and he was very explicit when talking about the man. Sarcastic expression.

"So, Sir, what should we do now, do you have any specific plans?" Ian asked the other person respectfully, clearly expressing his attitude of being prepared to depend on the other party.

"Bruce, my friend, don't you have a relationship there? Okay, no kidding. If you are free tonight, I will take you to see a few people. You will get all the answers you want. I have recommended you to them a long time ago, and they are also very satisfied with your ability. You must seize this opportunity, otherwise you will regret it for life." Fei smiled and dusted off the ash.

"Thank you so much, Sir, I will never forget your help," I was completely overjoyed, Ian's expression was excited, this is not a professional disguise, after so long, he finally got the other side Trust has entered the core of the game of power.
