Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 220: Occupation (3)

After Weierle reached a preliminary consensus with the senior leaders of the army group, he immediately began his trip to London without stopping. The first stop he planned in his plan was Buckingham Palace, which had been sealed and locked.

The British War Department building is at the northern end of Whitehall Street. When you go out, you can see Trafalgar Square not far away. Across the street is the famous Great Scotland Yard. A bronze statue of the Duke of Cambridge on horseback is erected on the road ahead.

Weirler did not get in the car directly after leaving the house, but walked along the sidewalk to the intersection on the north side of the building. He wanted to take a closer look at the appearance of the London Police Agency. When Weierle was young, the relationship between Britain and Germany had become cold, followed by a **** four-year war. Weierle has long known about this institution from various intelligence materials, and has always regretted not being able to see it with his own eyes. This super background board has repeatedly appeared in various detective literature works.

At this time, the building was occupied by the German army. To everyone’s expectation, the senior leaders of the London Police Agency did not abandon their posts and fled. The German troops rushed into the headquarters almost without any obstruction. The officials believed that the German army needed their cooperation to help maintain social security, and simply stayed at the headquarters and waited for the arrival of the German army.

Facts have proved that their judgment is indeed correct. The German army was very polite to these police officers and did not treat them as prisoners at all. The German army did not disarm the officers, but provided food and heat to the hungry. soup. The officials of Scotland Yard also retaliated. Some of their senior police officers directly participated in the German occupation operations. With the help of these senior ground snakes, the German troops did not make many detours in the occupation operations.

The police stations in London were all controlled by the Germans yesterday evening. The police all put down their weapons. Only some patrols and skirmishers scattered in the barricades were the only ones who persisted in resisting. These people caused some trouble to the Germans. . But it did not hinder the overall progress of the war.

Wait until sunrise, through wired and wireless broadcasting, the London City Hall issued a "Report to the Citizens of London" to the city. At the same time, some of the detained police officers were allowed to go back to the streets to perform duties, and it was around eight o'clock in the morning. The social order on both sides of the Thames in the city center, such as Northwark and the surrounding areas of Westminster, has basically been restored.

However, martial law continues in some areas, such as the previous core theaters, like the Whitehall Street area where Weierle is now, especially the train from Trafalgar Square to Charing Cross Street This section of the station was once the last frontline of the Cold Creek Guards Regiment. A total of more than 400 Cold Creek Regimental soldiers were surrounded and annihilated by the German 7th Infantry Brigade in this area.

The German infantry simply cleared the battlefield after the war. The roads in that area are still full of abandoned ordnance and ammunition and ruins of destroyed fortifications. Although the Germans contained the British soldiers who died in action, they had no time to transport them away. The sidewalks from the banks of the Thames to the square are now full of the remains of the dead covered with British military blankets.

It's summer. If we don't do treatment early, these corpses will soon decay. The German army is mobilizing part of its transportation capacity to prepare to transport the remains of the British army to be buried outside the city. The British Army expressed its gratitude to the Germans for this. At the same time, Marshal Ironside personally made a request to the German Command, hoping that the Germans would agree to the British Army's sending of professional administrators to verify the identity of the dead.

Ironside said that although these soldiers participated in the mutiny and shot and killed many senior officers of the Army Committee, let’s not talk about whether they were deceived in this incident. It is undeniable that these people have always been They all believed that they were fighting to defend the British Empire and His Majesty. The heroic deeds of these people should not be buried. They have the right to get a chalkstone tombstone with their name and their respective guards inscribed instead of a blank wooden cross in the cemetery of the unknown soldier. The German side also expressed understanding and approval. The German army even stated that it would send its own chaplain to participate in religious ceremonies at the funeral.

Weiller walked past the door of Scotland Yard. Two British policemen and a German military police standing guard beside the main entrance of the police hall saluted the German general and stood at attention. Weiller moved back to the German style in a cool manner. The military salute, and then continue to walk slowly along the sidewalk towards Halifax Square. Weierle’s lieutenant and two liaison officers from the command of the army group followed the general. A squad of Führer’s guard soldiers armed with live ammunition guarded the side of the road. Before the British government officially announced its surrender, either a soldier or a general A legal shooting target, even if the surrounding area has been tightly sealed by the German army, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish slipping through the net. Setting up secret passages and secret rooms in buildings has always been the strength of the British.

"Major Xuester, what do you think of the current situation. When General Manstein recommended you to me, he spoke highly of you." Weirle stood in the middle of Carifax Square . He looked up at the bronze statue of Nelson standing on top of the towering monument.

"We have won a decisive victory. If there is no accident, there will be no repetitions in the war. It is only a matter of time for us to occupy the entire territory of the United Kingdom." Major Xuester served as the liaison of Manstein The officer was dispatched to Weierle. His supervision work in the 25th Armored Regiment was done well this time. Especially in the battle, he also put forward many correct suggestions, so he got the commander of the 7th Armored Division. His vigorous praise made his immediate boss, General Manstein, very satisfied.

Manstein knew that the major had worked in the office of the head of state before and had a very good personal relationship with Weierle, so this time when Weierle asked Manstein to send a capable officer to him. , The first thought of the Chief of Staff of the Cyprus Legion was this excellent adjutant.

"This is your personal opinion, or the opinion of most German soldiers." Weierle turned to look at Xuester.

"Most officers and soldiers hold this view. The morale of the troops is very strong. Especially after the victory of London, the soldiers think that the war will end soon, so the fight is very strong. They all hope to Before the war is over, you can get more military exploits." Xue Shit smiled and replied. He knew when he was working in the Führer’s office that this general who looked serious was actually a very easy-going person, the chief of staff. Your Excellency likes to communicate with them in a relaxed manner.

"Yes, they are right. The war against Britain is indeed coming to an end." Weirler looked away from the statue of Nelson, and turned his head to look at the royal boulevard on the side of the square. Avenue, from here you can vaguely see the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s gilded statue gleaming in the sun.

"This war has been going on for eight months in a row. The troops are actually very tired. They can keep them up to now and still maintain a strong morale. All these are the merits of the head of state. Think about it, if Without him, we would have already failed in Dunkirk. There will be a series of brilliant victories afterwards. Soldiers are willing to continue fighting because we have been winning battles. The German Wehrmacht has moved from one victory to another, everyone They all gained honors and benefits that they could not dream of before.” Weierle slowly walked towards the exit of the square, and Xue Shit followed him closely. Several other officers and guards scattered around the square to watch. When Weierle was about to leave, the officers and soldiers began to gather on one side of the square.

"We should go by in the car, General." Xuester suggested.

"Yes, let them drive my car. This is related to the face of the German commander." Weierle nodded and agreed. Although it is only about one kilometer away from Buckingham Palace, it is walking and full The ceremonial team is completely different in momentum.

Weirle rides in a Mercedes-Benz convertible specially prepared for him. On the small flagpoles on both sides of the car, Weierle's German army general seat flag and the eagle emblem of the Reich Wehrmacht headquarters are hung on the small flagpoles. The guard flag soldiers in black dresses with silver ornaments acted as a guard of honor. They drove a tricycle with a mg machine gun and an 82 barrel car to clear the way. In the middle was Weierle's Mercedes-Benz car, and the other officers sat separately. Two Mercedes Benz followed, and at the end two Opel trucks filled with Waffen-SS soldiers were at the end of the line.

The speed of the convoy was not fast, but the road was not long. Soon the team bypassed the Victoria Memorial and came to the fenced gate of the square outside Buckingham Palace. The guard battalion officers who had been waiting there quickly opened the iron fence door with the coat of arms of the British royal family~IndoMTL.com~The motorcade smashed through the flat red-brown gravel square in front of the palace. The wheel stopped at the gate.

Weirle jumped out of the Mercedes-Benz and looked up at the huge main building made of white Portland stone in front of him. This is actually an additional building built during the George IV period. The main body of the real Buckingham Palace is hidden Behind this row of buildings.

"What a beautiful palace, Major Xuester." Weierle tilted his head and said, then he raised his hand.

"Well, let's meet the ruler of the empire now and talk to him about how to end this war." Weirler strode through the central arched vault and toward the atrium of Buckingham Palace Go.
