Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 245: Tower of London (top)

"The prisoner's mood has stabilized. He finished his lunch at noon today. (For the latest chapter, please go to:)" British Army Gendarmerie Major Henry. Jenkins cautiously reported to the German SS colonel in front of him.

"Let him take a bath, change into a clean suit, and ask what special needs he has." Daogen stretched out his hand to the side, and Captain Stark, who was accompanying him, quickly handed it over. Military cap in hand.

"You show me around, Major Jenkins, this is my first time here."

"Of course, Colonel Dogan, I am honored to be your guide." Jenkins promised hurriedly, the German SS officer put too much pressure on him.

"Captain Stark, you can first check the security arrangements on the periphery. You should know what to do. Remember, the safety of the head of state is the first priority. Don’t miss any omissions, you must do it. To be foolproof."

"According to Colonel, this is our sacred duty, and there will never be any slack." Stark raised his hand to Daogen.

"Hi, Reinhardt!"

"Hi, Reinhardt!" Dougan raised his hand in response.

Stark lowered his arm, nodded slightly to Duggan and Jenkins, then turned and strode out of the office door.

"Captain Stark is the commander of the Führer's guard flag team. When the Führer travels, he is responsible for the security work of the entire team." Daogen corrected the military cap on his head, and then said to Jenkins.

"I still have some questions about the prisoner, but we can talk about it slowly on the road."

"Okay, Colonel Dogan, I will tell you everything I know." After speaking, Jenkins put on his red cap with the British Army military police.

"This is the first time I have seen London's cityscape at such a close distance." Xu Jun sat in a brand-new Daimler bulletproof car, watching the London streetscape outside the window with great interest.

At this time, normal order has been restored on the London market. With the start of factories and enterprises, a busy scene reappeared on the streets of the market. If it weren’t for vehicles with German signs on the streets, the The scene almost gives people an illusion. It seemed that the **** war that had just ended was just a dream.

Post-war reconstruction work is a very oily business. Both the Germans and the British want to share a share in this feast. A large amount of overseas funds were gathered again, and the financial situation of the British Empire showed signs of improvement. The German banking group did not lose their normal judgment because of the military victory. They took this opportunity to begin to intervene in the UK’s local financial investment, and bought a number of companies and industrial mines with developmental value, which were closed in the past in the UK. Under the fiscal policy, these core industries are rarely open to foreign consortia.

The final negotiations between the UK and Germany are still underway. However, both the government and the private sector have already launched a series of cooperation plans. For the wealthy classes of the two countries, if the gains outweigh the losses, any hatred can be put aside. These purely realistic interest animals can't take care of the hatred of the country. Taking this opportunity to obtain more benefits is the guiding ideology of all their actions.

The United Kingdom is slowly recovering. This is obvious to all British citizens. As a large number of living materials are transported from Europe to the island, many long-unseen goods reappear on the store shelves. The German military and police jointly banned them, and all the goods hoarded by merchants were confiscated. They were put into the market at a low price, and the people resumed their daily lives, and a scene of prosperity and peace appeared on the streets.

This makes some ordinary civilians start to reflect on the meaning of the pain they have suffered before? At the same time, many people have questions in their hearts, why is Britain involved in this seemingly meaningless war?

Finally, the spearhead began to point at the parliamentarians and politicians who have been pushing Britain to join the war, as well as the news media who have contributed to the flames. The popular saying in the market is that the patriotic British people were bought by these war brokers The lies produced by the lackey media were deceived and deceived. The ignorant and greedy war mongers and careerists in the parliament simply pushed Britain into the abyss of war for their personal interests and purposes. In the end, this once extremely great country was destroyed.

Especially Churchill. As the highest person in charge of the cabinet during the war, he became the target of everyone’s attack. His series of brutal policies before the end of the war deepened the public’s bad impression of him. The anger of this dictator tyrant has not been extinguished since Britain surrendered. The citizens of London have a lot of new and old hatreds that want to end with this man.

This great savior of the British Empire in the original history, the greatest politician of the 20th century, and a staunch defender of the free and democratic world, now appears in British newspapers and magazines in an extremely ugly image. Obese indolents, hopeless drunks, despicable political thieves, bloodthirsty warmongers, brutal dictatorship careerists, the uncrowned kings poured buckets of dirty water and money on the head of the former prime minister. on.

There are also small stories about the Prime Minister who are rushing to circulate in the society. There are true and false, and many vulgar and inferior to the point of heinous, but the common people in the British countryside like to listen to these additions. A small piece of seasoning. And at this time, almost no one will stand up and stop it. The British seem to have insulted their former leader as an effective way to separate themselves and show good things to the Germans.

The destination of Xu Jun's trip is the Tower of London by the Thames. As the most important person responsible for the war in Britain, Churchill is currently locked in this ancient war fortress, waiting for the final judgment. Xu Jun had already decided to leave that night. Before leaving, he wanted to meet Churchill, but he had always wanted to talk to Churchill face to face for a while.

"My head, you can already see the Tower Bridge in front of you." Disenhofen, sitting in the passenger seat, reported.

Xu Jun entered the city of London in secret this time, so he didn't show any fanfare. He didn't even take a Mercedes-Benz car specially arranged for him. Instead, he took a bulletproof Daimler gift from the British royal family. The entourage and the guard ride in the official official car provided by Scotland Yard. Even if they see it, the British citizens will only think that it is an ordinary government official traveling, avoiding the attention of most people, but helping to ensure their safety.

"My head of state, the damage in this part of London is not serious, so the social order is restored very quickly. But in the East End. Many communities have suffered devastating damage. According to statistics, there are at least 200,000 People have lost their shelter. Among them, 30% of civilians have lost all their property. These people have nothing but a set of clothes on them." Mueller sat beside Xu Jun with a heavy expression on his face. Whispered.

Because Weierle was busy dealing with the n25 issue, as the highest-ranking officer on the base at the time, he was caught by the Führer. Muller was really flattered, but others couldn't ask for an opportunity. Be able to accompany the head of state and travel in the same car.

"Reichenau is already preparing to take over these things, and he will have his way. I suggested that the British government can organize some of these people who are physically strong to go to the south, where there is a lot of urgent need for reconstruction projects. Strong labor. We have destroyed many towns in the south. If local production and life are not restored as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles.” Xu Jun did not leave the window, he carefully observed the style of the British citizens on the street.

"The Cypriot Legion has been reorganized. My head of state, the soldiers are very happy to have a week of vacation."

"Soldier bonuses are going down, right."

"Twice the monthly allowance during the war. You are so generous to the soldiers, my head of state, it is a pity that there are no cheap goods to buy here in Britain."

"There are some luxury goods, such as clocks and antiques, and gem jewelry." Xu Jun smiled and turned his face away.

"I bought two watches, which are said to be waterproof and shockproof. I plan to keep one for myself and give the other one to Halong as a birthday present."

"When is Halong's birthday?"

"The end of this month, the 25th."

"Eric, remember to remind me to prepare a gift." Xu Jun said to the adjutant.

"Yes. My head, I will arrange it." Disenhofen replied respectfully.

The convoy has turned to Tower Bridge Road and can already see the high towers ahead. This exquisitely shaped bridge has become a symbol of the British Empire together with Big Ben of the Parliament Building, and people from other countries in the world mention Britain. The images of these two buildings will appear in my mind.

At the northern end of Tower Bridge, the huge Tower of London fortress stands on the banks of the Thames. Looking through the car window, Xu Jun can see the iconic white tower in the center and the gray outer walls at a glance.

The German 3rd Infantry Division spent a lot of effort at that time, and has never been able to capture the castle. The British defenders guarding the castle are not very strong and equipped. However, relying on the strong and tall fortifications, he stubbornly repelled several strong attacks by the Germans, and almost * Commander Ludwig defied the order and ordered heavy artillery bombardment. Fortunately, Manstein gave the order in time to turn the siege into a siege, which made this ancient fortress finally preserved intact.

The so-called Tower of London is not a tall tower in the usual sense. It means tall and tall in English. This building is actually a three-story square Norman castle. If it is related to the tower , There is only a tower with a roof on each of the four corners of the castle, which serves as a watch and guard. This castle is only the core building of the entire fortress defense system. What really plays a defensive role is the surrounding circle of tall stone walls and strong defensive towers built at intervals on the walls. Over hundreds of years, countless generations of kings have repaired and expanded, and finally turned into the magnificent fortress with double walls and wide moats that now appears in front of Xu Jun.

The king who originally built this fortress was actually an invader. He was the famous founder of the Norman Dynasty and William the Conqueror from Normandy. The purpose of this foreign conqueror to build this fortress is not only to declare the power of the king, but also to deter and suppress the disobedient Anglo-Saxons. Since then, the name of the Tower of London seems to have been **** and violent. Linked together ~IndoMTL.com~ It is important to point out that in order to maintain the rule, this powerful conqueror built a lot of fortified castles in Britain. Among them, the two most famous military fortresses are the Tower of London. The other is Windsor Castle, the former has always been a symbol of British royal power, and the latter has become the source of the names of the British royal family.

Xu Jun’s motorcade drove over the Tower Bridge quickly, then turned a corner and drove into the road leading to the main entrance of the Tower of London. The guards at the intersection have been replaced by SS soldiers in black uniforms, and they have been waiting for a long time. Seeing the arrival of the convoy, they quickly pulled away the steel barbed deer village covered with barbed wire, and then stood upright by the road and raised their guns in salute. The convoy of five heads of state drove straight in, crossed the ancient stone bridge over the moat, and drove into this legendary royal castle that has almost run through the 900-year history of the British Empire.

Look for a monthly pass. It’s almost the end of the month. Let’s see if I can make it up again. Ranking is both important and not important to this book, because every time my book friends cast a monthly pass, for me, It is your affirmation of my creation.
