Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 202: Cypress Assault (2)

Before Mueller entered the door, the Englishman was eating, and the invasion of the German general did not seem to affect the appetite of this one. ※%※%, he just raised his head and glanced at Mueller, nodded slightly to the other party, and then continued to cut the pork on the plate with a knife and fork.

"Please sit down, General. Your German food is really good. I'm so sorry. I haven't tasted such an authentic German potato stew in a long time." The Englishman finished and put the food on the fork into his mouth while chewing He took a napkin on his knee and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Mueller was stunned. He didn't expect this kind of reaction when the two sides met, but he saw that the other person's background was not low, and at least received elite education, because few people would still remain elegant in this case. deportment.

Mueller dragged a chair from the wall, walked to the desk and laid it down, across the desk, Mueller stood looking down at each other.

"My name is Sterling. Mueller." Mueller introduced himself, he believes that the communication between the soldiers should go straight, there is not so much effort to play social games.

"Henry Margent. Fortunately, General Mueller." The British put down their knives and forks, wiped their hands with napkins, stood up, and extended their hands to Mueller.

"Fortunately, Markent... Lieutenant General." Holding his opponent's hand, Mueller glanced at the other's badge. The crossed saber scepter should be a crown.

"I have long heard of your name, General Mueller. We have been watching your rise and your record in the French campaign. To be honest, it is very admirable." Lieutenant General Margint extended his hand. Muller sat, as if he were the master here.

When Mueller sat down, the British lieutenant smiled slightly. "How about a drink together, General."

Mueller didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders. Margent pushed the tray on the table aside and took a glass from the tray on the side and placed it in front of Mueller.

"This is a very good Bordeaux red wine from you." Margent picked up the bottle on the table and poured a glass of wine for Mueller.

"Okay. General Markent, I don't think we need to turn around. It's your request to meet me, not just want to have a drink with me." Mueller moved the glass to the side. He frowned and stared. Said in the other's eyes.

"General, as you know, you are a pure German." Margin took a sip of wine and put the glass on the table.

"Since you asked this question, then I am no longer polite. We want to make a deal with the German government. I hope you can match us, and we need to get in touch directly with the German head of state."

"Who do you represent? What transaction are you going to do. As far as I know, the headquarters has sent a special envoy to London."

"That's the trick of the politicians in the parliament. They will only play tricks that are shameless. The credit of these people is the same as cow dung. We are not all along with them. Don't compare us with these scammers." Ma Jin The lieutenant general rubbed his fingers against the gold cufflinks on his shirt, expressing his indignation with contempt.

"I'm sorry, we mean what you said..." Mueller turned his face and looked at his adjutant. Lieutenant Heinche was sitting in the chair at the door. In his record book, he worked hard.

"I represent the army, to be precise, I represent the British Empire Army."

"I don't know if I heard it wrong, General. You are now fighting us, and I have just received a report that one of our vanguard troops was stubbornly resisted, and your people even used cocktails and viscose grenades "Muller raised his eyebrows and said to Markent squinting. This expression he learned from the head of state, he felt really handsome when he felt the need to ridicule his opponent.

"You know. There are always some stubborn guys in the army, it is difficult to listen to the opinions of others. If you can seriously investigate, I believe you will find that these resistances are all point defenses, and they have not even succeeded. The entire line of defense. We have distributed the troops loyal to Churchill as far as possible in the suburban villages and towns. These people do not have enough ammunition, and they will not have supplies and backups. I dare to guarantee that this is only an individual case. The trouble is very limited."

"You mean, these are the abandoned children thrown out by you. You are borrowing the hands of the German Army to eradicate aliens." Mueller's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he had heard.

"Although there are some regrets, this is indeed the case. If these people are not removed from the core area, we cannot take the next step."

"You still have the next move?"

"General, this is why I came to you. I need to get in touch with the German Head of State. I brought the goodwill of the British Army. I believe that your head of state will make the right decision."

"You have to explain this to me first. I can't just casually introduce someone who has disrupted the heads' decision with a messy plan. The UK has been defeated, hasn't it? What is the value of your goodwill now. Or, you are What conspiracy do you want to deceive your head of state for this reason?" Mueller asked aloud.

"Okay, calm down, General Mueller, maybe I didn't make it clear before, it was my fault. Given your close relationship with the German Head of State, there is no problem even telling the truth." Markent raised his hands and said obedience.

"Where do you start... General Mueller, I don't think you will know what is happening in London now."

After two consecutive days of peripheral battles, the British army did not achieve any results. People only saw a haggard officer who was approaching a mental breakdown and wounded people who were continuously sent to the hospital. Looking out of the apartment window at night, the night sky in the south was illuminated by the red of the fire from the town.

Various rumors arose in the community. Citizens squatted in air defense bunkers and whispered. Food was scarce, daily fuel and extinction. Some areas had power and water cuts. The city center could only supply gas for half an hour every day. One of the two Scottish brigades has been withdrawn into the city, and the Civil Self-Defense Forces have been organized to deliver supplies and wounded people to reinforce the fortifications and barricades previously built.

The citizens were panic-stricken. They felt that they had been deceived by the government. The previous publicity propaganda was put into the present, which further reflected the incompetence of the cabinet and the army. Churchill's speech proved to be full of lies.

When the citizens learned that the Germans had surrounded the city, panic began to spread rapidly among six million people. There were organized marches and unorganized riots on the streets. Some material hoarding points were looted and shops and restaurants were robbed. The weapons that were previously distributed to resist the aggressors are now used on their own countrymen.

Underground forces in the East End of London began to openly attack the police and the army. What made the Scotland Yard and the army pay attention was that there seemed to be a shadow of German soldiers involved. The Scottish brigade blocked the entire border of the Eastern District and began martial law in the downtown area for 24 hours. Those who do not have special pass documents are not allowed to move in this area, especially in the area of ​​Buckingham Palace. Concentrated on a large number of government key points, this time it is even more rigorously guarded against death.

In this situation, a large number of officers in the Army Department began to feel uneasy. They thought that their patience had reached the limit, and they could no longer let the old guys in the cabinets of the wartime cabinets continue to play tricks. They did not want to be The burial goods were dragged together by this group of idiots.

These are the backbone of the British military command, the background and strength are extraordinary. Many are nobles who have a knighthood for generations, or the rich and powerful Jia family. Although the British army has long stopped buying and selling military ranks, some people are born outside the rules. Gold plating in the military academy is the rank of officer, and the respective families exert some influence. These people rise to the position like rockets. For example, Mu Jinte in front of Mueller became a lieutenant general before he was forty years old.

They also noticed the small movements that the group of politicians in the parliament were doing. The army still had some intelligence channels even if it was rotten. What dissatisfied these army officers was. Politicians seem to only consider their own future and way out, and the Army plays only a tool for realizing transactions in their plans.

These officers began to think, why should they not be able to deal directly with the Germans because of this, compared to the politicians who only speak their mouths, they have a very real strength. So some senior generals began to connect in private, and at the same time, they attracted some members of the House of Commons. These people also knew that it was difficult to suppress the scene by relying on the army alone. If necessary, they would share some benefits and get better returns.

In the end, they found that the most important part of their plan was still missing. They were all officers serving in the General Staff and Command, mostly civilian and administrative personnel. They had to find a big man with enough weight to sit in the center, so their plan Only then is it possible.

As a result, a scene that surprised them happened. The assistant chief of the General Staff of the Empire, Marshal Ironside, came to his own door. He made it clear that the marshal had completely despaired Churchill. If these officers were willing to obey his command, he would choose to stand in the army. This side.

"General Mueller, our request is very simple. As long as Germany allows the British Army to continue to retain the establishment, we will fully cooperate with the Germans to manage this country, just as the French are doing." Admiral Markent took the glass and drank A swig of wine.

"We have made a comprehensive plan, and as soon as the German head of state agrees, we will immediately begin operations. Compared with what Germany will get, the conditions we offer are completely insignificant." Margent stood up and walked to the wall of the office , Pointing to a map of England on the wall.

"London is just the capital, there are more than ten cities in the UK and its same rank, and hundreds of cities in the lower level. Now because of Churchill's decree, these cities are all under the control of the British Army. Including, mines , Factories, military bases, airports. And the naval bases and shipyards you want most, these places are all controlled by the army." Margent said excitedly.

"Where are you so many troops?"

"The local army, sir, you don't know the British Army. We still have tens of thousands of re-enlisted local troops. Although they are older and do not train well, the number is there. It is more than enough to control these vital places.

Although the Royal Navy has been annihilated by the whole army, the latest aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines are being built on the shipyards of these shipyards. This is a whole fleet, and only a small number of marines are stationed in these shipyards. The defensive strength still depends on our army. Marcinte answered.

"Can you represent the group behind you?" Mueller always felt a little unbelievable, and he looked at each other with suspicion.

"I have brought a personal letter from Marshal Ironside. If you can, please immediately pass it to your Excellency. If your head of state accepts our terms, then as a thank you, General Mueller. I promise you Cypress The Legion will be the first foreign team to occupy Buckingham Palace in hundreds of years." Margent walked to the desk to pick up the wine bottle and poured himself another glass.

"You have sworn allegiance to your king." Mueller was stunned by the arrogance and shamelessness of the other party, who had seen the treason and was so straightforward.

"Please note, General Mueller, we are the British Army, not the British Royal Army." Markent shook his index finger at Mueller with pride.

At this time, the German general made up his mind secretly, and after the battle was over, he must find an opportunity to beat the **** in front of him. (To be continued.)
