Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 42: Sanders

　　 Within minutes, the Germans gave Sanders and his infantry shocks again and again. When Xu Jun appeared, Sanders recognized at a glance who the German in a pretty uniform was.

　　 The publicity departments in the United Kingdom did not publish any photos of this man when they promoted that this man is a devil. The reason is that this man is too handsome for the British, especially since he appears in all the photos. The elegant temperament of the Junker nobility and birthplace is really unable to make people associate him with the devil. In order not to affect the effect of publicity, the image of this person appears in the form of ugly comics everywhere.

　　 And when he was promoted as an angel, the propaganda departments were even more afraid to publish his photos, because they didn't want the British citizens who already worshiped him to worship him more fanatically. Especially those British girls who like handsome and elegant men and daydream, neither strict war laws nor the rationing system of material poverty can stop them from continuing to dream of Cinderella. The officials of the Propaganda Department really dare not imagine that when those who are usually smart girls and ladies see this aristocrat who is different from the aristocrats of the British court who look sick, and are full of energetic young European aristocrats. What kind of stupid things happened.

　　 An official once said with a wry smile that although this might provoke the anger of the British boys and inspire their belief in fighting, he suspects that the British soldiers who will be destroyed by the girls may be more destroyed than the Germans. need more. Those officials couldn't help sighing why the Germans couldn't find someone who looks like Mochi or Bismarck as the deputy head of state. Are they not native products of Germany? As a result, there are not many people in the UK who know the true image of this man. Everyone imagines the image of the German marshal in their minds relying on the description of that single word.

　　 However, Sanders has seen a picture of this man, and has seen it hundreds of times, the image of this German marshal has been deeply carved into his mind. There is only one reason. He was once ordered to assassinate this German military genius.

　　 At that time, the Battle of Dunkirk was continuing. The naval warships had not yet become fragments floating in the strait. He was secretly called to the Army Command. He was just an army major at the time, and he couldn't believe what he saw when he was led into the army headquarters meeting room. A group of magnates of the Three Armed Forces and British Prime Minister Churchill are waiting for his arrival. Churchill didn't say much to him, he only asked Sanders about his personal situation and then handed him a tightly sealed envelope. Then Sanders was taken out of the meeting and sent by special car to a villa on the outskirts of London, only then was he allowed to open the envelope. Inside the envelope is a photo of the German marshal in front of him, all his personal information and an order.

In the 　　 order, he was assigned to immediately train an elite company, and then led the company to sneak into the German occupation area to assassinate this man who might pose a serious threat to Britain. Sanders upholds the usual traditions of British soldiers, and he strictly obeyed this order.

　　Sanders meticulously selected a company of outstanding soldiers from the remaining units in the British mainland, and then conducted cruel and strict military training on them. London also specially sent a German instructor to teach them German for their operation. Two captured German officers came to teach them the habits of the German army. After all, they could not force their entry into German positions by force. They could only Disguised as a German army infiltrated.

　　Everyone knows what this action means to them. News of Dunkirk’s fiasco has arrived, and they know that they are even more unlikely to escape from France alive. Even if they were captured, they would be shot on the spot as spies, because this was indeed a serious violation of the rules of war and dishonour. No one would criticize the German army for this. But all the soldiers persisted, no one offered to withdraw or showed a fearful look.

　　 Sanderson is very satisfied that he has got a series of truly loyal and elite soldiers. He is very satisfied that he has successfully completed the first phase of the work in two weeks. He has soldiers and the necessary equipment. With German military uniforms and flawlessly forged documents, it is now waiting for London to issue an order to leave.

　　 But what happened next was completely beyond his expectation, and this action was suddenly put on hold. Sanders and his soldiers anxiously awaited the order to start, but apart from allowing them to continue their uninterrupted training, London gave them no other instructions. It felt as if the giants had forgotten them. . The training continued, but the morale of the soldiers also passed by as the days passed. Although they still enjoy material treatment that other Army troops could not dream of, the psychological suffering caused very serious damage to these soldiers.

　　The news about the target kept flowing into the training camp. The soldiers were frightened by the rumors. Although they believed that they might be able to complete the mission if they were lucky, they had lost one. The kind of vigor from a week ago. They can be called the most elite troops in the British Army, but they are still young people in their twenties. They are not machines without reason and emotion, they have never been on the battlefield, and they lack the veterans who have experienced many battles. That kind of patience. When Sanders discovered this, it was already too late. An irritability and frustration had spread among the soldiers, and they all thought they had been abandoned.

　　 Sanders hurriedly rushed to London himself. He reported the current situation of the troops to the Chief of Staff Ismay. He asked the War Department to give his troops some tasks, even patrols or repairs, to maintain Morale of troops. He also asked the chiefs of staff of the armed forces when their operations could begin. As a result, Ismay’s answer surprised him. The operation had been permanently cancelled and the target was no longer in France but to Poland.

　　 Then the Chief of Staff of the Three Armies explained in detail to the stunned Army Major why they did not issue an assassination order. That person has now become a person who cannot be touched casually. Although it is not known which link leaked the secrets, the assassination plan has indeed been obtained by the Germans from the current situation. Because the arrogant "Cyprus" regiment had already sent a telegram with the British army cipher they had seized, they threatened that if the British dared to harm their regiment commander in a dishonourable way, they would not hesitate All British officers in their hands were executed to pay for the funeral of their deputy head of state. Not only them, but almost all German legions issued the same warning. They also threatened that if Marshal Reinhardt was killed, they would announce the plan of this operation to the world and Britain would fall into an unprecedented passivity.

　　 Although assassination is the most commonly used method in warfare, it is a taboo that no one can mention in the international arena. This contradicts human morality and is rejected by everyone. Britain absolutely cannot stand in that position.

　　 But it is strange that the German government has not issued any warnings and protests, which makes Ismay puzzled.

　　 But fortunately, Sanders finally got something, he got the task he desperately needed from Ismay. His troops will launch a landing raid, but the target is not France but Norway, and the mission is not to assassinate but to protect a group of important people and supplies back to Britain. In fact, Ismay has indeed forgotten this small company. He was still worried about not sending enough elite troops. As a result, Sanders' arrival helped him solve the difficult problem at hand. As a result, British Army Major Sanders was promoted to a level and led his troops to the Devonshire happily.

　　 Just when they were excited about the first battle that was about to begin, they encountered this ambush by a German submarine. Sanders felt dumbfounded now, the past target stood in front of him in such a grand manner, and he was still under the aim of hundreds of rifles under his hands. Now, as long as he gives an order, the biggest enemy of the British Empire will become the first field marshal in German history to become a colander.

　　 But now he clearly knows that he must never hurt this marshal's hair. Otherwise, the reputation of Great Britain, the lives of those attached officers, including the lives of their current subordinates and all the sailors on this battleship will be wiped out with the fall of this German. The Germans will not let go of shooting themselves. Sanders has not forgotten the two German submarines lurking nearby, staring at them. It is impossible for the Germans to survive any British on the scene. They will carry out retaliatory actions. massacre. The Germans will say that the marshal died under the assassination of the British, they will announce the British assassination order to the world, and even they will use the bodies of themselves and their subordinates as evidence, because no British can live to refute them. . What's more, the German marshal is now negotiating with himself, in fact, he should be persuading him to surrender. According to the rules of war, oneself can refuse the other party’s negotiation request, but it is absolutely not allowed to attack the other party during the negotiation process after agreeing to the negotiation. This is also a very shameless act of treachery, and it is no different from assassination. Surviving and unable to refute the accusations of the Germans, the honor of the British Army will be completely destroyed. British Army officers will no longer have the face to raise their heads in front of their colleagues.

　　 "Lieutenant Colonel... That person, isn't it..."

　　A soldier standing next to Sanders asked tremblingly. He also recognized the German marshal, the target that made him undergo that kind of cruel training. Not only him, but almost all army officers and soldiers now recognize that person, and their eyes are full of excitement. The soldiers looked at Sanders expectantly, hoping that he could order the shot and then once and for all destroy the person they wanted to kill.

　　 "Everyone listens to my orders." Sanders yelled, puffing up his chest.

　　 Hearing Sanders’ order, all the soldiers squeezed their rifles. They put Xu Jun firmly into the crosshairs. The soldiers held their breath and waited for the final order. They know what they will face after shooting, but no one has any hesitation. They feel that the training they have undergone has finally paid off today. All regrets will disappear with this gunshot. They have kept their oath, and they have fulfilled the last duty of a soldier. What will happen to them in the future has no meaning to them.

　　 But Sanders did not continue to issue orders. He fixed his eyes on Xu Jun on the submarine. He hoped to see an expression of panic or fear on the face of this German military god. But what disappointed him was that the German didn't even look scared at all. He still kept that nasty smile, and Sanders even felt a kind of contempt in that person's eyes. Sanders has never seen anyone who can maintain this kind of demeanor and spirit in the face of a hundred rifles aimed at him. Although he is an enemy, he still admires the German courage from the bottom of his heart.

　　 is indeed the **** of war in Germany, a knight among the knights, Sanders sighed, and then shouted: "Listen to my orders."

　　 He glanced at the soldiers. The soldiers almost fired when he heard his second order. Some soldiers trembled visibly, but no one pulled their triggers.

　　 It seems that the strict training is not in vain, Sanders nodded slightly, and he continued to command loudly: "Rifle-put down!"

　　 "What!"

　　All the soldiers couldn't believe their ears, they looked at their commander dumbfounded.

　　 "Rifle-put it down!"

　　 Sanders issued the password again as if he hadn't seen the suspicious look of the soldier, and this time it was much more severe. The soldiers realized that their commander was not joking with themselves, but they still did not understand why the commander issued this order, but the order is the order, and the conditioned reflex created by constant time and strict training prompted them to let go of their own. The rifle, then stood neatly with the gun.

　　 Sanders gave another loud command: "Rifle-upper shoulder."

　　The soldiers don’t even understand what Sanders is going to do, but they trust this stern lieutenant colonel. They believe in this man’s loyalty to the empire and love for them. They know this commander will not do anything to harm them. . So everyone strictly obeyed the order.

　　 Sanders ignored the puzzled comments of the sailors nearby. He nodded to Carson, who was looking at him on the bridge, and Carson nodded to him as if he understood it all.

　　 Sanderson saw that the crew on the submarine had quickly drilled out of their entrance, and then ran to the weapon on the deck. He knew that he had forever lost the best chance to kill the German marshal. But now it’s useless to think about anything. He has betrayed his subordinates. The only thing he hopes now is that his choice is correct. He believes that his subordinates will understand their concerns one day. He hopes they Able to forgive this decision I made.

　　 Xu Jun stood in the U37 command tower and looked at the British Army soldiers. Just ten seconds ago, he really thought he was going to die here. He could feel the soldiers' eyes at that distance. Han Guang.

　　 But he found that he didn’t feel any fear at all. He realized that death could no longer make him fear. It may be the reason why he died once, and maybe he has seen too many deaths, now he is no longer I am afraid of facing the threat of death like when I first arrived here. So he frankly faced those weapons, and he used his smile to despise those who wanted to harm him.

　　 Now those British people finally put down their weapons. Although I don't know why, it is a good start for mutual communication. Gisell saw the British army put down their rifles, and he quickly issued orders from the access hatch to the men below to rush out of the deck and manipulate weapons. The first minute caused him to have a heart attack, and he would not allow this to happen again. Xu Jun's subordinates also took the opportunity to climb up to the control tower, and the four SS commandos quickly loaded the two machine guns, and then turned their muzzles to the deck of the British battleship.

　　 Xu Jun took a loudspeaker from Hans, and then shouted at Cassent on the cruiser bridge.

　　"I am the German Field Marshal Reinhardt. Von. Steide. First of all, please let me express my sincere respect to you for the bravery shown by the British Navy in the previous battle.

　　 Now, your warship has been injured and is surrounded by my submarine group. Continued fighting will be an annoying thing for both of us.

　　 You can't win, and we don't want to continue this dirty carnage. So I beg you here, Captain Cascent, in order to protect the precious lives of your men, please surrender to us.

　　 I’m here to assure you that you will get the treatment you deserve, and I guarantee that you won’t be treated unfairly with my military’s reputation~ IndoMTL.com~ You know, keep fighting for you What it means, you fought very bravely, you have done your last effort. It is a stupid and meaningless thing to continue fighting. You have fully demonstrated your glory. Now your war is actually over. You have done your best for the British Empire.

　　 Now I give you two choices. First, you stop any of your resistance activities and surrender to our German armed forces. I promise you will be able to return to your family and loved ones after the war is over.

　　Second, if you continue your battle, we will no longer show mercy to you. I believe that some of you will die for this, and we will be captured as a result of surviving, but it may be a little wetter than the former.

　　 Okay, Mr. Captain. You can choose any one of them now. Please give me the answer as soon as possible. You must know that the survivors on the destroyer are still struggling in the sea. Neither of us can save them unless you surrender. The water temperature is very low now, please don’t delay. Their time. "

　　 After speaking, Xu Jun took the hot coffee that a sailor brought to the control tower, waiting calmly for Cassent's reply.

　　 But what I didn’t expect was that before he swallowed the coffee in his mouth, Cassent had already replied loudly: "Your Excellency Marshal Reinhardt. Thank you very much for giving us a fair chance. We are willing to surrender. ."

　　 Hearing Cassent’s answer, Xu Jun almost squirted the coffee out of his mouth. The British surrendered so readily that he was completely unexpected. It seemed that his goddess of luck had not gone far, she was still watching him and the world in the air.
