Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 202: Cyprus’ Assault (2)


. Before Mueller entered the door, the Englishman was dining, and the German general's intrusion did not seem to affect his appetite. He just raised his head and glanced at Mueller, nodded slightly, and then continued to hold the knife and fork to cut the pork from the plate.

"Sit down, General, the food for you Germans is really good. I'm very sorry, I haven't tasted such an authentic German potato stew in a long time." The Englishman finished speaking and put the food on the fork into his mouth. While chewing, he picked up the napkin on his knee and wiped the corner of his mouth.

Müller was stunned. He didn't expect to encounter this kind of reaction when the two sides met, but he saw that the other side's background is not low, at least he has received elite education, because very few people will still keep in this situation With an elegant manner.

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

"My name is Sterling Muller." Muller introduced himself. He believes that the communication between soldiers should go straight and not so much effort to play social games.

"Henry Margent. Good meeting, General Mueller." The British put down his knife and fork, wiped his hands with a napkin, stood up and reached out to Mueller.

"Fortunately, Margent... Lieutenant General." Holding the opponent's hand, Mueller glanced at the opponent's epaulettes. The crossed saber scepter should be a crown.

"I have 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 Margin He stretched out his hand for Muller to sit down, as if he were the master of this room.

When Mueller was seated, the British lieutenant smiled. "How about a drink together, General."

Müller didn't answer, just shrugged his shoulders. Margent pushed the plate aside on the table, took a wine glass from the tray on one 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 Muller.

"Okay. General Margent, I don't think we need to circumscribe. It was you who asked to meet me, not just want to have a drink with me." Mueller moved the glass to the side and frowned. , Staring at each other's eyes and said.

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

"Since you asked, then I am no longer polite. We want to make a deal with the German government. I hope you can help us. We need to contact the German head of state directly."

"Who do you represent? What deal are you planning to do. As far as I know, the command has sent a special envoy to London."

"That's the trick of the politicians in the parliament. They will only play some shameful deceptions. These people's credit is rotten like cow dung. We are not the same with them at all. Don't compare us with these crooks. "Lieutenant General Margin touched the gold cufflinks on his shirt, expressing his indignation with contempt.

"I'm sorry, what you mean by us is..." After Mueller said that, turning his face to look at his adjutant, Lieutenant Heintze was sitting in the chair at the door. Struggling to write in his notebook.

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

"I don’t know if I’ve heard it wrong, General. You are now fighting with us, and I just received a report that one of our vanguard forces has encountered strong resistance. Your people even used cocktails and Viscose grenade." Mueller raised an eyebrow and said to Margin with slanted eyes. He learned this expression from the head of state, and when he felt he needed to ridicule his opponent, this expression was really handsome.

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

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

"Although it is a bit regretful, it is true. If these people are not transferred from the core area, we will not be able to take the next step."

"Do you have any next steps?"

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

"You have to explain all this to me first. I can't just introduce anyone with a messy plan to disrupt the decision of the Führer. Britain has been defeated, hasn't it? What is the value of your goodwill now. , Do you want to deceive the head of state on this ground, what conspiracy do you want to engage in?" Mueller asked loudly.

"Well, 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, then there is nothing wrong with telling you the truth." Markin said. Raise your hands to show obedience.

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

For two consecutive days of peripheral battles, the British army did not achieve any results. What people saw were officers with haggard faces approaching a nervous breakdown and a steady stream of wounded people sent to the hospital. Looking out from the window of the apartment at night, the southern night sky was blood-red by the fire from the town.

Various rumors arose in the community. Citizens squatted in air-raid shelters and whispered to each other. Food began to be scarce, daily fuels and disappeared. In some areas, electricity and water were cut off, and the city center could only supply gas for half an hour a day. One of the two Scottish brigades has all withdrawn into the city, and the Civil Self-Defense Forces have been organized to transport supplies and wounded people to strengthen the fortifications and barricades previously built.

The citizens are panicked. They feel that they have been deceived by the government. The previous public opinion and propaganda have even more reflected the incompetence of the cabinet and the army. Churchill's speech has been proved to be full of lies.

When the citizens learned that the German army had surrounded the city, panic began to spread rapidly among six million people. There were organized demonstrations and unorganized riots in the streets. Some stocking spots were looted and shops and restaurants were looted. The weapons that were distributed to resist the invaders are now used by their own compatriots.

The underground forces in the East End of London began to openly attack the police and the army. What made Scotland Yard and the army notice was that there seemed to be shadows of German soldiers involved. The Scottish brigade blocked the entire eastern border and began a 24-hour martial law in the downtown area. People without special permits are not allowed to move in this area, especially the Buckingham Palace area. A large number of government vitals have been concentrated, and at this time, they have doubled their guard, and they are full of gillnet deer villages.

In this situation, a large number of officers in the War 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 cabinet of the vegetarian food corpse during the war continue to mess around. I don't want to be a burial object, being dragged by these idiots to death.

These are the backbone of the British command, with extraordinary backgrounds and strengths. Many of them are nobles who have had titles for generations, or come from rich and powerful families. Although the British army has long stopped buying and selling military ranks, some people are born outside the rules. If you plate gold in the military academy, you will be the officer class, and their families will exert some influence. These people will rise to positions like rockets. For example, the Margin in front of Mueller became a lieutenant general before he was forty years old.

They also noticed the small actions that the group of politicians in the parliament were doing. Even if it was bad, the Army still had some intelligence channels of its own. What makes these army officers dissatisfied is. Politicians seem to only consider their own future and outlets, and the Army is only playing a tool for realizing transactions in their plans.

These military officers began to think about why they couldn't directly deal with the Germans. Compared with those politicians who only talked, they had real power. So some high-ranking generals began to connect in private, and at the same time they wooed some members of the House of Commons. These people also know that it is difficult to suppress the scene by relying on the army to come forward. If necessary, if some interests are allocated, they will get better returns.

Finally, they found that they were missing the most important part of their plan. They were all officers in the general staff and headquarters. Most of them were civilian and administrative personnel. They had to find a big man with enough weight to sit in the middle. Their plan is only possible.

As a result, a surprising scene happened. The adjutant of Marshal Ironside, the chief of the general staff of the Empire, came to the door by himself. He made it clear that the marshal had completely despaired of Churchill. If these officers were willing to obey his command, he would choose On the side of the War Department.

"General Mueller, our request is very simple. As long as Germany allows the British Army to continue to maintain its establishment, we will fully cooperate with the German army to manage this country, just as the French are doing." Lieutenant General Margin took up The wine glass took a gulp of wine.

"We have made a comprehensive plan. As long as the German head of state agrees, we will immediately start to act. Compared to what Germany will obtain, the conditions we offer are completely insignificant." Margent stood up and walked to the office. Next to the wall, pointed to a map of Britain on the wall and said.

"London is just the capital. There are more than ten cities of the same level in the British mainland, and there are hundreds of cities of the next level. Now because of Churchill's decree, these cities are all under the control of the British Army. Including mines, factories, military bases, airports. As well as the naval bases and shipyards you most want, these places are all controlled by the army." Margent said excitedly.

"Where do you have so many troops."

"The Indigenous Army, sir, you don’t know the British Army. We still have tens of thousands of Indigenous Army who are re-commissioned. Although they are too old and can’t be trained, the numbers are more than enough to control these critical locations. .

Although the Royal Navy is completely annihilated, the latest aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines are being built on the berths of these shipyards~IndoMTL.com~ This is an entire fleet, and only those who are stationed at these shipyards For a small number of Marines, the main defensive force still depends on our army. "Margent replied.

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

"I have brought a handwritten letter from Marshal Ironside. If you can, please forward it to your head of state immediately. If your head of state accepts our terms, then as a thank you, General Mueller. I guarantee your match. The Prussian Regiment will be the first outside team to occupy Buckingham Palace in hundreds of years." Margent went to the desk and picked up a bottle of wine and poured himself another glass.

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

"Please note, General Mueller, we are the British Army, not the Royal British Army." Margent shook his index finger at Muller triumphantly.

At this time, the German general secretly made up his mind. After the battle is over, he must find a chance to beat the **** before him. (To be continued.).
