Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 230: Each of its own tricks (1)
The arrival of the German head of state on the mainland of the British Empire did not trigger much reaction from the British people. In fact, few British people knew that this happened at the moment. {See the latest chapter, please go to:} Xu Jun’s visit this time should be said to be a secret operation. Even Petain, who saw him off at the airport, thought he was returning to the command base in Calais. He had no idea that he would fly directly to England. .
This is not the best time for the German head of state to appear in the UK, because at this moment the agreement between Britain and Germany has not been officially signed. The German head of state setting foot on British territory at this moment will trigger negative associations from the British public. Seen as the German head of state eager to show off his victory to the world, and at the same time put pressure on the British government's negotiations, once the British have this impression, the future will be a big price to reverse.
So Xu Jun blocked the news of his visit to the outside world, and only notified the e-group and a part of the British high-level officials. In fact, Xu Jun could wait until the agreement was signed, and then walk into the city grandly as a conqueror, instead of staying cautiously in the heavily guarded air base outside London.
There are important reasons for his trip. He has to meet some people in person, and some promises must be confirmed by him in person, so that they can feel truly relieved. Compared with his predecessor Hitler, Germany’s new head of state has always maintained good credit. His verbal promises are more credible than most written agreements. If he can’t hear his personal consent, those traders will not be able to sleep at ease. .
The fleet of the German head of state was parked on the apron of the airport. For secrecy, the head of state's plane covered the number with a canvas cover. This time he brought a platoon of guards and flag teams, as well as an entourage group, followed by ten Junkers ju52 to England. In addition to his direct staff, there are more than a dozen staff from the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the attache group. As the forerunner of the German negotiating team, they came to the front station.
Xu Jun and his party moved into the senior officer's apartment arranged by Mueller himself. The entourage group and the guard flag team occupied the entire apartment floor, and then a large number of outposts scattered around, and the surrounding area of 5 kilometers was tightly sealed off by the German army. There are two fighter squads on guard duty in the air, and the soldiers are strictly ordered not to disclose the arrival of the head of state to the outside world. This involves state secrets, and any German soldier must consciously abide by the secrecy order.
"Your Excellency has arrived in the United Kingdom. I'm sorry I can't tell you more details. You only need to report this news to your superiors, so that they will be ready to wait for your Lord's summon at any time." Derek said from the table. Grab a glass of gin, raise your head and drink it all.
"Mr. Derek, I believe my bosses will be very happy to hear this. They have been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time." John Smith picked up the beautifully decorated crystal wine bottle and filled both himself and Derek. Had a cup.
Derek is a hidden agent who belongs to the intelligence department of the Wehrmacht High Command. He has penetrated into the social circle of the British House of Lords before the outbreak of the war, and has been passing on the British House of Lords to the eyes of Odin. Confidential information released.
Now that the war is over, Derek's mission has been completed, and Germany urgently needs some middlemen who are familiar with the various factions in Britain, so Derek has been added as a special envoy to the German command. When he disclosed his new position to his British friends, most people were speechless. They never thought that this elegant and wealthy gentleman was a spy. And he is a native German.
"I’ll leave after drinking this glass, and some people are going to notify you. As an old friend, I sincerely remind you. Smith, you must be careful. Over the years, you have been exposed to too many secrets. I think Maybe you should find a stronger protector." Derek turned the glass flexibly with his fingers, the transparent liquor shook with the glass, but no drop leaked out of the glass.
"I understand what you mean. In this dirty circle of power, anything can happen. After so many years, I have more or less prepared some life-saving methods, but it is not a last resort. I believe they won't mess around. Mr. Derek, are you soliciting me for the German government? Or is this just your personal opinion." Smith sat down in a hurry. Staring nervously at the German messenger.
"Both of them. My chief is very interested in your abilities and network. I also personally appreciate you very much. You are one of the most brilliant people I have ever met. IMHO, I Think that your talents are buried by those fat-headed idiots. With your abilities, your career and status should be far more than just a small civil servant." After Derek finished speaking, he took a sip of wine and left the rest. One-third of the glass of wine was placed on the table.
"If I agree with your recruitment, what can you give me." Smith leaned back on the back of his chair and asked with one hand spread out.
"Everything, no matter what you want or unexpected, we will provide you with all help. With our help, and with your personal mind and ability, I can guarantee that you will definitely get what you could never imagine before. The success, and the price you paid, you only need to give Germany a small reward."
"What kind of little reward?"
"Loyalty, we only need your loyalty. Of course, in order to ensure this, we will also use some means, but I believe you should be able to understand."
"You call this little? Mr. Derek, you are really humorous. If you want to get something, you have to give something. I know the truth. But your request is slightly beyond my capacity. , So I can't give you the answer yet, can you give me some time to think about it." Smith put his hands on the table and looked at Derek sincerely.
"It doesn't matter, this does require serious consideration, but don't delay for too long. My superiors are busy people, and their patience is not much." Derek picked up the glass and drank the gin inside. Then stood up.
"Sorry, go ahead, I have another appointment."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Derek, I am very happy to be able to talk to you. I will seriously consider your suggestions and hope to meet again soon." Smith stood up and reached out to Derek.
"Very well, Mr. Smith. There is only one chance. I hope you can take it seriously. Goodbye."
"I think I will. Goodbye, Mr. Derek."
Derek walked out of the private room. The entourage who was waiting at the entrance of the private room walked out of the hotel surrounded by entourage.
"Did he agree? Sir." An entourage in a neat suit opened the door for Derek.
"Not yet, but don’t worry, he is clearly impressed. This is a smart guy. He knows how to choose. This person will definitely make the right choice. He can’t get out of our hands. Do what we do. Patience is the must-have quality of a line. We have a lot of time to operate these things."
"Understood. Sir, where are we going next?" The entourage got into the passenger seat and asked Derek.
"How was the original plan arranged."
"Go to the Dorchester Hotel and meet the liaison officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
"What are you waiting here, drive, and go to the Dorchester Hotel."
Standing on the side of the huge cofferdam of the Canmel Ryde Shipyard in Bernkend, watching the huge battleship that has been mostly outfitted in the channel, the commander of the British Army Chester Guard Infantry Regiment The headmaster let out a sigh of relief.
"Report to the chief that the blockade has been completed." The deputy head of the regiment staff stood beside the head of the regiment and whispered.
"Clean up this area, and no non-Army personnel are allowed to stay in the blockade." Hufridge held his back waist. Swipe the entire area in front of you with your fingers.
"Captain Kane asked what to do with the naval personnel stationed at the shipyard, whether to detain or release them." The communications officer stood at the door of the communications vehicle. He reported loudly with headphones on.
"Find a closed workshop and lock them up. In addition to the navy personnel, there are also shipyard engineers and shipbuilders. No one is allowed to leave without further orders." Hufridge replied loudly. Tao.
"What we are doing now is to save the army. I hope you can understand this. Tell Captain Kane not to worry. This is my order. He just needs to be serious about it." Humphridge finished speaking and turned Body, continue to look contentedly at the spoils in the canal.
The battleship Prince of Wales. The second ship of the George V class was launched in May of 1949. Because of Xu Jun’s intervention, the Luftwaffe did not bombard Liverpool’s port area as in history, so the construction speed was much faster than in history. However, it was also because Xu Jun’s large-scale sea strangling tactics worked, leading to many key points. The casting cycle of the parts has become longer. After the two phases are offset, the current hull of this battleship has reached 80%. If there is no accident, the installation of the main gun turret will be completed next month.
Now that the German invasion has interrupted the construction of this battleship, no one knows what the future of this battleship will be. Can you see the majestic appearance of this battleship completely completed, driving her across the world, most people are right This represents pessimism.
The British Navy has previously had contingency plans. If you encounter the possibility of a battleship falling into the enemy's hands, you can consider blowing up the battleship in the canal, so as to prevent the battleship and canal from being used by the enemy at the same time. However, when the army entered the shipyard, it was discovered that the navy was not prepared to implement this plan. They did not even prepare the explosives used to destroy the ship.
Lieutenant Colonel Humphridge received the order early that morning. It was the British Army General Staff who ordered the order. In fact, he had already started relevant preparations three days ago, and his henchmen even made plans for this. A detailed occupation plan.
When receiving the long-awaited order, the Chester garrison immediately launched operations. These soldiers are mostly reserve-type native troops. Although the training level is not very good, they are used to deal with shipbuilders and naval sailors. Still more than enough~IndoMTL.com~Lieutenant Colonel Humphridge expressed his satisfaction with the actions of his subordinates. The Army has fired several warning shots from beginning to end. No one was injured and no one was killed in the occupation. .
At the same time, the occupation of the major military ports and naval shipyards in the British mainland is also in full swing. By the evening, all the targets have fallen into the control of the British Army.
The members of the Royal Navy who were still encouraged at this time were still wrangling with the envoys of the German Navy, but they didn't know that there was not much weight left in their hands.
Afterwards, Marshal Pound, the chief of staff of the Royal Navy, spent a whole page in his memoirs angrily accusing the British Army of shameless behavior. He also defended the navy's poor performance during the incident. He said who would do it every day. They were not the Imperial Japanese Navy if they were guarding their own army from stabbing a knife in the back.
