Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 101: The longest 1 night (3)

Churchill frowned slowly in the corridor of the shelter, spitting out smoke like a steam locomotive, and passing staff saw the prime minister's figure shrouded in low air pressure. , All know the current affairs, turn around and take a detour. (Baidu search is the fastest and most stable update of the literature website)

Churchill is very taboo when thinking about being disturbed by the outside world. He will even be full of childish anger. Although he will not settle the accounts on the spot, he will definitely leave a bad impression. Maybe next time he encounters a job that will kill him. Will naturally think of you.

However, this kind of unpleasant work must be done by someone. A second lieutenant from the staff team was pushed out as a sacrifice. The young lieutenant bit his scalp and walked forward. This inexperienced rookie actually blocked the way of the Prime Minister without knowing it. Churchill suddenly raised his head and glared at the offender who dared to interrupt his thoughts and block his steps, the Army. The second lieutenant never thought that a person's eyes could be so fierce and brutal. At that moment, the young man felt a soreness in his bladder, and some warm liquid moistened the linen.

"What's the matter!" Churchill coldly asked the stiff little ensign in front of him.

"The Prime Minister... The Prime Minister..." The young ensign's brain was blank, and he couldn't remember why he stood here.

"You need to take a good rest, kid!" Churchill realized that his attitude might make the other person too nervous. This situation is not uncommon for him, and many people are even speechless under his own pressure. This kid can call out the prime minister and behaves well.

"Okay, Prime Minister, okay..." The ensign had forgotten even the basic salute. He turned sluggishly and walked towards the other side of the corridor. Churchill found a string of water-stained shoe prints behind the second lieutenant, and frowned in disgust. He decided to order the staff to remove the scumbag as soon as possible. This kind of coward should be sent to the harsh environment to be tempered. Sahara may be a good choice.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister." The helpless staff team could only give out a second sacrifice, and a lieutenant standing far away saluted Churchill.

"What's the matter with you. I'm now thinking about the topics of the meeting. If it's just general matters, let the Chief of Staff take care of it. Don't bother me before the meeting." Churchill was a little tired of these sneaky men. In style, he vowed that if it was just a trivial problem, he would drag the lieutenant in front of him to sacrifice the flag.

"Sorry, Prime Minister. Marshal Ironside, please be sure to go there immediately. He is waiting for you in the office of the Army Committee. There is a very urgent situation to report to you." The lieutenant held his chest and said the whole thing. In other words, his broad forehead was greasy in the corridor lights.

"It's an emergency? Do you know anything?" Churchill felt a little nervous. He had a foreboding that it might be another bad news. He is already in a state of exhaustion. The British Empire can't bear more bad news.

"Sorry, Prime Minister, I don't know the specific content." The lieutenant replied loudly.

"Understood. I'll be there soon." Churchill stabilized his emotions. Anyway, the status quo is like this, it shouldn't be worse. Perhaps it was about the German paratroopers. The Army always likes to make a fuss. Churchill comforted himself while walking towards the temporary office of the Army Committee in the bunker.

The British Army and the Commonwealth National Army have a British-specific organizational structure, which is different from other countries in the world. Its complexity can be seen by the eyes of ordinary military fans, and by the way, that person’s brain is stirred into a pot of gruel.

These Anglo-Saxon barbarians are after all Germanic. Inherited the glorious tradition of Saxon barbarians being brave, fierce and brutal, and absorbed the greed, cunning, sinister and viciousness of Anglo barbarians. In the end, when their German relatives were still fighting each other in the Black Forest, they had already beaten down various Celtic tribes on the island, annexed the achievements of the Roman Empire in one fell swoop, and broke out of the first one. Fan Jiye.

Saxony in Germany is one of their birthplaces. So when they scolded the Germans as a group of barbarians in the forest, they were actually insulting their own ancestors.

The British military system can actually be said to have been inherited from the Roman Empire. They almost copied the establishment of the Roman Legion in the early stage. After hundreds of years of history, these barbarians who worshipped Rome to their bones still retained the Roman Emperor. *The regiment’s habit, after the establishment of a unit, no matter how the times change, it still insists on retaining the organization number and honorary title when it was established. For example, the XX Royal Flintlock Regiment, which shows that when this unit was established, the British Army had just started to organize the Flintlock Unit. Another example is the XX Rifle Regiment. This shows that this regiment has entered the rifle era when it was established.

British bureaucrats call this title an administrative title, which is used for desk work, and it is completely two systems with the combat establishment. So looking at the names of the British people often confused people. It was obviously a flintlock regiment, but it turned out to be a mechanized infantry. It was clearly a Scottish infantry regiment, but it turned out to be a paratrooper unit.

In the British Army, it is called a regiment, and there is often only one battalion. However, after the outbreak of the war, some regiments would swell in an instant, madly assimilating into a pile of reserve battalions and reserve battalions, becoming a huge organization similar to a brigade. During the First World War, there were 17 super-organized infantry battalions. , An infantry regiment whose total strength exceeds one infantry division.

In addition, there is clearly the same regiment, but the first battalion is stationed in Gibraltar, the second battalion is far away in India, and the third battalion is classified as reserve on the mainland. This makes others think that this regiment seems to be a ghost. Yes, in fact, this is normal in the British Army with colonies all over the world, but it is enough to drive the agents who collect British intelligence into madness.

What's even more confusing is that the brigade-level and division-level units of the British army have no fixed organization. Most of the brigade units are temporarily assigned, and they are often exchanged and deployed at any time according to different combat areas. The division's organization can also float at will. It doesn't matter if there is one more brigade or one less. For example, the famous 79th Armored Division in history, the British actually forcibly stuffed five armored brigades into this division's organization. Thousands of tanks can be called the world's first armored regiment.

After talking about the chaotic basic organization of the British Army, the command system of the British Imperial Army is above all of this. Compared with the chaotic army establishment, it is rare to be concise and clear. The commander-in-chief is the wise King, who has the supreme leadership as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, of course it is just talking.

The Secretary of the Army is the administrative leader. He is responsible for the daily construction and management of the army. The real army chief is the Chief of Staff of the Army. As the commander-in-chief of all military operations of the Army, he is only responsible for the Secretary of the Army and the War Cabinet Be responsible for. Under his command, the Army Committee and the Army Executive Committee are in charge. The former is responsible for formulating combat plans and the latter is responsible for overseeing execution. Below are a bunch of committees of administration, equipment, construction, logistics, scientific research and so on. The division of labor is also clear, and they can perform their own duties to complete the tasks assigned above. In addition to the efficiency of work, they have the unique bureaucracy and slowness of the United Kingdom. In addition, it is also a more scientific administrative structure.

Baron Ironside and his confidant team sat around in the temporary office of the Army Committee, having a heated discussion over several telegrams and telephone records on the table. Just as several officers blushed and screamed at each other's nose, Churchill pushed open the door and walked in. The time in the room seemed to freeze for a moment, and then everyone stood up and saluted the Prime Minister.

"Your Excellency Ironside, is there any emergency that you want to report to me? Did you receive information about the discovery of German paratroopers?" Churchill walked all the way to the main seat of the middle map table and sat down unceremoniously. Down.

"Your Excellency, the problem is even more serious. German armored units appeared behind Dover. The baggage and artillery units of the First Armored Division were attacked by German tanks. According to reports from the surviving officers, there was at least one tank regiment. The heavy squad of the 6th Infantry Division was also attacked by a German army on the London road. They claimed to have encountered more than a dozen new German tanks. They could not identify the specific model and refused to say that it was German No. 4. An improved model of the tank." Ironside stood up and reported to Churchill respectfully. He put several telegrams and recording papers on the table in front of the Prime Minister.

"It's impossible, these people must be insane!" Churchill said without hesitation that the news was too absurd. He put the cigar in his hand into the ashtray on the table~IndoMTL.com~ Then he took out his famous pair of tortoiseshell glasses from his suit pocket and placed it on his nose, picking up the telegrams carefully one by one. Study the words.

"Totally incomprehensible, I only saw a group of men who were frightened and wailed like a group of defeated dogs. Perhaps they were only attacked by a few German paratroopers, but they fled like cowards, in order to relieve For my own guilt, I lied that I encountered a German tank. I have seen many similar cases in the report on the front line of the French campaign. Fear can make people hallucinate and magnify the enemy's power many times.

In order to avoid going to a military court, these people can do anything. Lying about the enemy is their most common tactic. Unfortunately, these people are too stupid. They forget that they are on an island. German tanks can’t Flying, they couldn't get more than Dover Fortress to appear on British soil. "Churchill took off his glasses and casually threw the telegram in his hand onto the table. He curled his mouth to express his contempt for these deserters' behavior, and raised his hand to pick up the cigar and put it in his mouth again. (To be continued)
