Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 188: Go deep behind enemy lines (4)

"Go this way, sir." The tall man treated Maike very kindly, and he couldn't see that he was still yelling to cut the throat of the Scottish Yard minion a minute ago. The man used words very politely and seemed to have some education.

Perhaps because the Germans put away their weapons, the atmosphere between the two sides eased, and found that Lieutenant Colonel Maike was able to speak fluent English, the British began to introduce himself to the Air Force Lieutenant Colonel.

"My name is Woodcock. My friends call me Woody. The one in front is Edwood. We call him Edell."

"Slacker? Is it a nickname?" Maike thought the short man's nickname was very interesting.

"Shut up, you idiot... Oh, it's not you, lieutenant colonel, that name is just a joke among friends, it has no real meaning." The short man became a little bit irritated, he thought Wookie was Expose his old bottom in front of outsiders.

"Can you recognize my rank? I am Lieutenant Colonel Hermann Meike of the Luftwaffe. I am glad to meet you."

"Good meeting, Lieutenant Colonel."

"Good meeting." The two Englishmen quickly responded politely.

"Here we are. The next section of the road is a bit difficult to walk. You must pay attention to your feet, Mr. Colonel." Edwood walked to an intersection of a laneway, looked around, and then picked up a piece by the wall. The crowbar behind the plank pried open an iron cover on the ground. Obviously, this lid has been carefully disguised, with some messy newspapers and sundries stuck on it. If you don’t check it carefully, you don’t know that there is a hole below it.

"Hey, listen carefully, I seem to hear the sirens." Wookie warned from the side.

"Don't worry, those lackeys can't find this place." Moving the lid aside, Edwood climbed into the shaft first.

"Be sure to tighten the armrests and step carefully, the underside is a little slippery." The short man raised his head to remind the lieutenant colonel.

"Where's down here?" Maike asked Wookie back.

"That is the pride of the British Empire, the underground kingdom of London, our secret base." Wookie winked his eyes at Maike triumphantly.

"The smell of this secret base is really strong." Looking at the strange smell of the dark hole, Maike buckled the goggles on his forehead. Put on the mask again.

Grabbing the cold iron rod, the Air Force lieutenant colonel stepped down.

"The rain in the first two days was too heavy. The whole place was submerged, so there was some smell." Edwood was holding a flashlight. Follow Maike's feet.

"Here is directly connected to the Thames, so the stagnant water recedes very quickly, but when the flood occurred in the previous two days, dozens of lanes in the vicinity will be flooded by the inverted river."

Edwood then bowed to Mike and made a funny medieval salute. "Now. Welcome to our underground kingdom, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel."

Maike looked at each other speechlessly. He took out the German-style flashlight from the leg pocket of the one-piece flight suit. After turning on the switch, he hung the folding buckle on the back of the flashlight on the socket of the chest pocket.

"Well, now you can tell me who you are and why you want to help me, to understand that I am a moral officer and an enemy of England." Lieutenant Colonel Maiko took two steps back. Standing against the wall, he transferred the weapon he was carrying to his armpit, holding the handle of the pistol in his hand, and could enter the combat state at any time.

"I said you Germans are too suspicious." Edwood shook his head. Then he put his smile away and stood up to face Maike's loud announcement. "We are the English Liberation Army. We have the same goals as you and have a common enemy."

"What? Wait a minute, what PLA?" Maike felt that his brain was not enough. "The English Liberation Army, we are composed of ordinary people who yearn for freedom, I can assure you. You have seen before, we are not your enemy, Lieutenant Colonel." Edwood replied loudly.

"We still have a long way to go. We can talk while walking. This is still in the search area of ​​the group of running dogs. It would be dangerous to stay for a long time." Wookie changed the subject on the side and rounded up. .

"Well, I don’t know what to say, maybe I’m too nervous, sorry, after all, this is a war zone for me. Because of my profession, I can’t easily trust strangers. Edell, are you You can give me a detailed introduction to your People’s Liberation Army. I’ve never heard of your organization before.” Maike lowered the barrel. He felt that he was a bit too much. He sincerely apologized to the two British men and tried to ease it. Between the atmosphere.

"Please call me Edwood, Lieutenant Colonel, Idel is just a joke."

"Okay, Edwood. I haven't thanked you two yet. Thank you very much for saving me and saving me from falling into the hands of the enemy." Lieutenant Colonel Maike took advantage of the hot iron and tried to close the relationship. If the organization mentioned by the other party is true, it must be helpful to the German operations.

"You're welcome, we have a common enemy. I think we can be friends. Helping friends is a matter of course. Don't pay much attention to this. Lieutenant colonel, pay attention to your feet. There is a pit here." Edwood seemed to Familiar with these tunnels, he took Maike left and right, and came to a huge main tunnel. Maike estimated that four Opel trucks could drive side by side.

"This is part of London’s ancient subway system. Over the centuries, people have dug thousands of tunnels and various basements underneath London, stacked up and down, and no one can figure out the specific lines. If you are not familiar The terrain, it’s easy to get lost in it. Every year, many hapless corpses can be found. We call this the underground kingdom, which is a shelter for our free people. Generally, the stray policemen don’t dare to search here because once Lost, they are no better than others to endure hunger and thirst." Edwood proudly introduced Maike.

At this time, Maike had learned the general situation from Edwood's mouth, especially what kind of organization the English Liberation Army was called by the opponent.

Everything will start from Churchill's order three days ago. The Prime Minister of the British Empire, who controls the supreme power of Britain, has transformed into a true dictator. The tough and aggressive personality has overwhelmed his sanity at this time. In order to maintain his dignity, he refused to admit that his decision led to the failure of the empire. He needed to find a goal to shirk responsibility and divert the public's pressure on the government.

He set his sights on the East End of London, a sordid place full of sin in the eyes of this aristocratic master. There are indeed villains from all over the UK, all kinds of messy criminal organizations, and anyone hitting a street corner may be a wanted professional criminal. In the eyes of British citizens, these people are all social scum and enemies of decent people. The residents of this area are ignorant of village women except for the stupid illiterate workers. It is the idle robbers, gamblers, prostitutes, crooks and opium dealers. Here you will not find a trace of the beauty of human nature, but only the dark side of society.

Churchill’s decision to act here is an extremely smart decision, and it will not be criticized. Will also win the applause of all citizens.

"Most of these people are foreign immigrants and their mixed-race descendants. They are not really British at all."

"These people hate the law and all the rules. They advocate getting something for nothing and the weak. They are actually not humans at all, but beasts in human skin."

"These people hate His Majesty the King. They are all spies sent by foreign governments. Britain failed because some of them sold intelligence to the Germans." Overnight, newspapers were flooded with similar things. The public opinion machine was operating at full speed, and the writers worked hard to turn the fear and resentment caused by the citizens against the German landing into the spearhead of hatred, which was directed at the poor in the Eastern District.

London Police Agency and a Scottish brigade infantry were all dispatched that night, and began a major cleansing operation of several major communities in the Eastern District. Those places are mainly workers and unemployed people at the bottom of society. And their families. These old communities can’t be renovated at all, because the residents are too dense. There are hundreds of people living in a small three-story old apartment. Many rooms have no light and ventilation at all, and even no beds. In a small space like a tomb, the inhabitants lie on the ground like livestock.

Churchill now needs to stand up, and must let the British see real enemies, these poor people who have no money and power. It is the best target. Local residents were driven out of their apartments and stood in the pouring rain under the threat of bayonets. Crowds of police entered the dilapidated buildings, and they rummaged through the boxes and started searching.

"Check all prohibited items, especially letters and documents with text. Intelligence shows that there are German spies among these people." The police leading the team explained this.

Afterwards, piles of so-called evidence were "searched". German books and French magazines, and some posters with Nazi emblems on them also became criminal evidence.

"Take them all away, all will be strictly interrogated." The leaders of Scotland Yard conveyed Churchill's orders with a grim look. It was late and the rain was so heavy that ordinary rain gear could not do much. Soldiers and policemen with soaked uniforms fiercely kicked and drove the residents of the Eastern District. They vented their cold and hungry grievances on the poor people.

The police repeated this work throughout the day the next day. Although this area is huge, it doesn't take much time to clear it. These residents were sent out of the city in groups and circled into fences hung with barbed wire. Strong men were selected and escorted by the army to the construction sites in the suburbs. These are free labor, which is the current UK What the government lacks most.

Employing ordinary citizens requires food and salary. These people only need a few potatoes a day to work. Soldiers are ordered. These are enemies of the British Empire, public enemies, traitors, and treacherous villains who want to murder your family. They must be treated with the strictest means to control them, and they must not be treated with the slightest care. sympathy.

Once there are signs of sabotage and resistance, especially fleeing, soldiers have the right to use any means to deal with them, and even explicit hints above encourage them to use hanging. Hanging is a disreputable way of execution in the UK. Only those heinous villains will be publicly hanged. Decapitation and shooting are execution methods that can only be enjoyed by aristocrats and soldiers.

A large area of ​​the Eastern District was cleared out. Due to the bad weather and lack of manpower, it was not possible for a while to demolish the house as Churchill originally planned. 150,000 people were arrested in Scotland Yard within two days, suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason. They are temporarily detained pending investigation.

One of the strong laborers was sent to the front-line construction site to dig fortifications, while some old and weak women and children continued to be detained in the "detention camp" "awaiting" investigations by their superiors. Many dirty and ugly things appeared, such as Some guards are always unable to control their own organs, looking for opportunities to seek personal gains.

Although the police are exhausted, they have really made a lot of money. Regardless of the poor people who don't have much wealth, the total number will be jaw-dropping.

Everyone in the newspapers unanimously praised Churchill's decision. Under the wise leadership of the Prime Minister, this long-standing rotten flesh in the City of London was wiped out, the internal response of the Germans was destroyed, and the hidden dangers of the British Empire were eliminated. Regardless of how rampant the Germans are now, it is all an illusion. Germany has actually been exhausted by the war. It is their last madness. The Germans are no longer able to sustain themselves. They are completely at the end of the war. As long as the British are united in Churchill, Under the command of the Prime Minister, the British Empire will surely win the final victory. The army and the people of London are united. The city defense is solid. London will never fall. Long live Your Majesty, the British Empire will live forever.

But for a large and complex city, even if it is tightly closed, there will be loopholes. Although the junction of the east and the west and a few blocks along the river seem to be emptied~IndoMTL.com~ In fact, there are still many people. Stayed.

These are flexible-minded guys, and many of them still have sound organizations, or gangs. Some people had criminal records, so they called their friends to hide as soon as they heard the siren sounded. Among them, the professional players have a wealth of anti-reconnaissance experience, and have fought against well-trained Scotland Yard agents for many years, and all those who have not lost are expert level.

As a result, what happened after that made these people watch all the time, and threw their last little trust in the British government into the Thames. This group of **** capitalists and nobles rushed to exterminate the poor, and they discovered that the crimes they had committed before were not on the same level as the superior masters.

Some people who still have a sense of justice stepped forward. The heavy pressure from the outside became the best catalyst. These survivors of various backgrounds and backgrounds united in one day to form a close In the alliance, everyone’s goal is to save their fellow villagers and brothers, and their slogan is to bring down kings, nobles and capitalists, and freedom belongs to the people.

I still ask for votes. Just now I found out that the book has dropped a few places in a row. I can’t keep the tenth place in the military history monthly ticket list. I feel a little depressed. Please support me and get the monthly ticket. Vote for this book, thank you again for your support. (To be continued.)
