Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 145: Dinner

The pigeons are carefully placed in a crouching appearance, decorated with a circle of fresh rosemary leaves, and then carefully covered with a silver plate cover. Net

"Be faster, don't cook the cauliflower for too long. What about the mashed potatoes that I just put here?" The chef, Mr. Phil, almost fainted, and the kitchen was in a mess.

"Hurry up, they have a very good appetite today." The head waiter pushed the dining car into the kitchen. "Look, there is nothing left. They have already started eating the second plate of stew."

"What can you do for me, who would know that so many big people will come today. We didn't prepare too many ingredients. How about fried fish? Served with potato chips." Phil shouted, pointing to a chef Tao.

"Mushrooms! We also have mushrooms. Fry them with olives and collect the sauce with cream. You can handle them."

"Yes, head chef." The chef responded loudly, and then ran to the storage room quickly.

"Well, it seems that you have tried your best. It is unbelievable. Now they still have an appetite to eat." The foreman carefully put the newly prepared meal on the dining car.

"This is the difference between the big guys and us. Okay, send these up. Don't let the big guys wait." Phil stuffed a paper bag into the foreman's uniform pocket. "This is the rock candy that just arrived today. Take it to your daughter."

"Thank you, Phil, Letty will be very happy." The foreman smiled and nodded to Phil, then pushed the dining cart out of the kitchen.

"We also have fifteen battalions of infantry assembled in Bristol. They carry anti-tank guns and infantry guns. They will be able to board the train tonight and expect to arrive at Maidstone tomorrow afternoon." Marshal Enside took up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, then took a sip of cool ice water from the glass in front of him.

"Well, I said long ago, you don't have to worry at all, everything is under our control." Churchill forkped a piece of beef, dipped it with the sauce on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth. Chew inside.

"Look at the ugliness of that group of guys in the afternoon. It really makes me sick. These people claim to be members of the British Empire. I think they are braver than they are to find someone from the street. These cowards asked the government to move their capital immediately. It's funny. I said it a long time ago. I won't go anywhere. Where I am, the core of the British Empire is!" Churchill put down his fork and said loudly to Ironside.

"How is the situation on the navy side? How long will it take for the two battleships to be completed. And the air defense cruiser, how could it be delayed for so long. I have said that the shipyard must go all out, and there must be someone in it. In the case of dereliction of duty, you should immediately set up an investigation team. Anyone who encounters passive sabotage, whether it is an official or a worker, must be arrested immediately and severely punished for dereliction of duty and treason.

In addition, the efficiency of the **** formation should be increased by more than three times. The number of ships arriving at the port this month has fallen below the dangerous line, and the citizens of the Empire will begin to starve. I know the difficulties of the navy. The losses in several consecutive naval battles are great, but this is not a reason for cowardice. Now I don't need you to fight the German navy. I only need you to ensure that there are enough freighters to land every month. It is the responsibility of your navy to defend the maritime transportation line. No matter what method you use, I just have to see the results.

You also know the request from Canada. I will immediately transfer six destroyers to form an **** formation. I will not give the Canadians a reason to refuse. The only thing they should do now is to obediently transport the troops to me.

You don’t have to worry about no boat available. The Americans have promised to give us a batch of destroyers. The navy now has a new task, which is to select enough qualified sailors and officers to control these warships. Don't let me down again, your marshal. If it messed up this time. Don't expect me to forgive you mercifully again. "Churchill turned his face to Pound, and the saliva with beef crumbs almost splashed onto the sharp uniform of the Navy Marshal.

Pound and his chief of staff quickly nodded respectfully. Due to the sudden landing of the German army, all plans in London were disrupted, but also because of this, the original disposal of Pound could only be stopped at this moment of crisis. The removal of the chief officer of a service would seriously affect the morale of the army and the people, so the admiral of the navy continued to serve. The Chief of Naval Staff seemed a little depressed about this result, but he could only obey the Prime Minister's arrangement and wait for the next opportunity secretly.

The news of the German landing can only be blocked for one to two days at most, because survivors of the Air Force and Army have already evacuated from the battlefield. It is impossible for these people to keep secrets. These news will certainly begin to spread among the people with their return. Open, then it will definitely cause catastrophic panic. Churchill didn't worry about this at all. Now he actually doesn't care about anything. He is now keen to continue playing the role of a tough prime minister, making people believe that everything is still under his control.

Churchill will not accept his failure, because if he loses this war, he will also lose everything that belongs to him. Born noble, he will never accept this ending. He will not fail, never will, and may suffer some setbacks, but at most that is the case. The ultimate winner must be him, and he works hard to convince himself that this is the truth.

Having tasted the taste of power, Churchill was not willing to give up this wonderful feeling at all. He can ask all the citizens of the British Empire, and no one dares to disobey his orders. In a sense, he is actually The de facto king of England.

The original royal family has now been completely emptied, and it has become a mascot-like existence. At this time, how could he give up this power. If you want to keep this kind of power, you must continue the war, because the war cabinet will never be disbanded if the war continues. As long as the war cabinet exists, his power can be guaranteed. As long as he is still sitting on the throne of the prime minister, no one can challenge his authority. Even the king can only obey his arrangements. Without his consent, no order can be transmitted from Buckingham Palace.

The Germans may win some temporary victories. Churchill is already aware of this, but he believes that he can control this situation and at least guarantee that he will lose both sides with the Germans, because he has already won the affirmation of the United States. A distant cousin promised that he would spare no effort to support Britain to continue this war.

Churchill also knew that the other party’s motives were not as selfless and noble as the man said. For a long time, Britain has been hanging on the head of the United States like a sword of Damocles. How could the Americans pay for the British war? With all their strength, they just want to continue this war. On this point, Americans and Churchill have the same goals. But the meaning behind it is completely different.

The Americans hope that the war will continue. In essence, they want to use German power to weaken Britain as much as possible. At the same time, they also wanted to use the British Empire’s hand to consume the Germans’ war strength. The two empires were defeated and wounded by the Americans. This was the result that Americans most wanted to see. Only in this way would it be most in line with the United States’ national interests and the possible invasion of the Americas. The threat is reduced to a minimum. This is completely a contest on the national strategic level, and if it is changed, he will make the same decision.

Churchill believes that with the cards in his hand, he should be able to entangle with the Germans for a while, as long as he waits for the aid of the United States to arrive, then he can arm a dozen divisions at any time. At that time he will lead the British team in a protracted battle with the Germans.

The Germans are fighting across the sea after all, and Britain has the advantage of the inside. The longer the war is delayed, the more advantageous it will be for Britain. It would be better if the United States could directly intervene in the war. The industrial capabilities on the other side of the Atlantic are obvious to all. Although the Americans have not been able to fight wars, they can still display a certain fighting ability under the leadership of excellent British officials. As long as the time comes, I will resort to a few tricks, coupled with that cousin's push, I am not afraid that the Americans will be unwilling to give command.

The German national strength is still limited after all. They simply don’t have the profound background of the British Empire. This upstart country is just consuming the vitality it has accumulated. It may explode in a short period of time, but it is absolutely impossible to have any persistence. Once they are consumed In the quagmire of war, the ultimate defeat is inevitable.

"As the Prime Minister said, the current weather is good for us, and we can have two more days of preparation time. The German raid has lost its meaning, and the bad weather has brought us back. The wind and waves have exceeded the safety limit. According to the calculation of the Naval Science and Technology Bureau, it has already affected the navigation safety of small ships. Therefore, until the weather improves, the Germans will not be able to continue to send troops and supplies to the island, and the army estimates, The Germans landing forces are not enough to complete the assault on London. They must accumulate more troops and supplies, so the Army Staff believes that the Germans will not have any further actions in the next two days, and they can only stay where they are. Waiting for the weather to improve." Ismay said excitedly while cutting the pigeon.

"Yes, it proves that God is still on the side of the British Empire." Churchill took the whiskey glass in front of him and drank it.

"This rain will continue for at least two days. The current situation is beneficial to us. In two days we can re-mobilize 30 battalions. There are 1.5 million self-defense forces as a backing. We can Keep them in Kent. As long as we have the belief in victory, we will surely be able to drive the enemy off the sea. In addition, we must fight a beautiful battle before the panic breaks out and let them regain confidence.

The current atmosphere in the city of London is very bad. There have been pessimism and capitulationism among the citizens, and there are many unrealistic rumors. In this regard, I have instructed the Metropolitan Police Agency to conduct a detailed investigation. This argument is knocked out from the source. Newspapers that should be sealed up should be sealed up immediately, and those who should be arrested and collaborators should be arrested immediately and be tried strictly and quickly, so that the people can see the fate of these scum, which can raise their awareness and encourage them to resist. Determination. "Churchill pointed his finger at Sir Edward, Secretary of the Interior and National Security, who quickly nodded his head in acceptance.

"We need to build a barricade, which requires a lot of building materials. We can consider demolishing some of the buildings in the East District. The houses there are too old and dense, because they are prone to fire. After the demolition, some hidden disasters can be eliminated. In addition, the residents there There are also mixed good and bad. Among them, there are many pro-German elements. The Army must cooperate with Scotland Yard to screen civilians in these areas. Any suspicious personnel should be arrested and interrogated ~ IndoMTL.com ~ Now it is the most critical moment. The Germans must ambush a lot of spies in the UK. As far as I know, there are many underground organizations and parties that oppose the empire in London. There is absolutely no room for such personnel. If anyone dares to resist, they can be killed on the spot." Churchill crossed one. Egg, take the salt shaker at hand and sprinkle a little sea salt on the egg.

"I agree with the Prime Minister’s opinion. I propose that the refugees stranded in London should also be evacuated. There must be many lurking saboteurs. At the same time, attention should be paid to the collection of weapons in their hands, many of which have been The equipment of the National Self-Defense Army, these guns should have been used by warriors who defend the country instead of being left in the hands of a group of cowards to endanger the safety of law-abiding citizens.” Ismay added.

"This will be handled by Sir Edward and the two inspectors. Scotland Yard has a heavy responsibility. I will issue a written order that they can obtain the necessary freedom of movement and power when performing similar tasks." Churchill put down his hands. The waiter quickly moved forward and removed the empty plate, and another waiter immediately brought the next meal.

"Fried fish? I like fried fish." Churchill smiled and rubbed his hands, tucked the napkin into the neckline, picked up the knife and fork and started to cut the food on the plate. (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
