Chapter 49: Hidden Crisis
The British are also actively preparing for war, preparing to go south along the western front of the Korean Peninsula, but they are passively defensive, and almost all the British government that has closed the external access to the German army can do this at present. Like the umbrella, the www.biquge.info learned that the British government had sent special envoys to the United States to ask for help, and in addition to the Chongqing government, there were also Germans. While the British envoy was lobbying the U.S. government, Hitler, who was far away in Berlin, was also discussing with some of his senior generals about attacking the British mainland.
"The English Channel is too long for us, and our Asian allies offer us a better solution." In the conference room in Berlin, the mustachioed Hitler was very excited at this time. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor made him feel that the person who carried out this plan was an absolute genius. Covertly submarine for 3,000 nautical miles and then launched an attack that eventually led to heavy losses on the US Pacific Fleet. This impressed Hitler very much, and his eyes began to pay attention to the focus of the attack - the aircraft carrier.
"We have to have aircraft carriers in the attack, and we can have our fighters take off less than a nautical mile from the British mainland, and then shoot down all the British planes and tell them that it's time for them to bow to Germany." Hitler habitually became agitated and danced in the conference room. The German Navy and Air Force were engaged in a dispute over aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft due to the huge cost, which led to the slow progress of equipping carrier-based aircraft after the start of the war, but the use of aircraft carriers by the Japanese caught Hitler's eye, and he was ready to use this tactic against the British.
"The landing plan we had was good, but we need aircraft carriers to participate in Operation Sea Lion even more now, and I wonder if we should ask our allies for help. Hitler's words sounded a little incomprehensible, but the officers present could understand the meaning, that is, Germany now needed the help of the Japanese army.
"Goering. You don't have to argue with the Navy about the ownership of the aircraft. Hitler waved his hand at Goering, who wanted to say something, and said, "At least for now, the Japanese have proven themselves right." As a result, they inflicted heavy damage on the US Pacific Fleet, and that alone is worth considering. The German army belongs to Germany, and no branch of the army, no soldier belongs to an individual or a branch of the army, and I want you to know that. β
"Hey! Hitler! When his own head of state said this, Goering could only stand up helplessly and express his attitude. He knew Hitler better than anyone in the room, and he did not want anyone to contradict what the FΓΌhrer had decided, or else it would be disrespectful to him.
"That's it! My generals, I think we need to do some trimming. I'll give you another two months, and in two months we'll start Project Sea Lion! I hope that next time, the British can be seen coming to Berlin to surrender to us! β
"Hey! Hitler!! β
The British did not know why the Germans across the Channel had suddenly changed their tactics, and the Americans, who were also in the Americas, did not know why. In fact, Germany was only silently preparing, and in the case that the British and Americans were unaware, Hitler planned to let the aircraft carrier participate in the landing operation plan against the British mainland, so he sought the help of the Japanese Combined Fleet, and Yamamoto Isoroku, who commanded the Combined Fleet, naturally did not dare to slack off, and the Japanese Combined Fleet, which received Hitler's secret order, had already dispatched an aircraft carrier formation to secretly rush to the English Channel.
The Umbrella's intelligence network in Europe also did not find this information until the third day of the Japanese fleet's rush from the west coast of the United States to the English Channel, and an intelligence agent hiding in Berlin discovered this information from several butter-stained notes. It was only after a rough confirmation that this piece of information that was almost missed was sent out by the intelligence agent hidden in Berlin on the radio, and after several twists and turns, this explosive information was sent to Zhuo Fei.
"Hehe, the Germans are going to make a big move this time." Zhuo Fei, who received this information, didn't believe it at first, but after checking other relevant information collected by the umbrella, Zhuo Fei suddenly found that this information from Berlin was very likely to be true. "Send a telegram to Sir James at once, and a letter to General MacArthur, to tell them the news we have just received." Zhuo Fei passed the news to Sir James and MacArthur, but he himself had no intention of getting involved, and when Sir James came to the base to find Zhuo Fei, he was told that Zhuo Fei had already flown to Kuala Lumpur to inspect the shipyard.
"We don't have the ability to directly participate in the war in Europe now, so we have to avoid the British from dragging us into that quagmire, and instead of directly offending the British, we should leave Australia first to avoid the limelight. After the information is confirmed, even if the British come to the door, we will always have an opportunity and an excuse to toss and turn. On the plane to Kuala Lumpur, Zhuo Fei patiently explained to Vivian and Angela, Angela naturally did not doubt Zhuo Fei's intentions, but Vivian was wondering whether the umbrella would be blamed by the British later.
"The British blame us? Why do you think so? Facing Vivian's question, Zhuo Fei suddenly laughed, "Don't say that I have already handed over the information to Sir James, even if we don't do anything, the British can't blame us for protecting the umbrella." When we first moved our base to Western Australia, I conveyed goodwill to Downing Street through Sir James, but how they responded, all they did was give me the title of Duke of the Empty Barrel, and nothing else substantial. β
Zhuo Fei's complaint made Vivian and Angela both pout, especially Vivian directly accused, "You also said that even if the title of Duke of Australia is not worth mentioning, didn't they give you the title of Governor of Bangladesh, and the title of Governor can still be inherited hereditarily." β
"Well, you only see that the title of Governor sounds good, in fact, the title of Governor of Bengal is useless. Unless the British agree to bring India under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Bengal, the title of Governor of Bengal they gave me is more of a joke, and once the war is over or the unfavorable situation of the British is reversed, I think that I, the Duke of Australia, will be recalled to the British mainland, and my title of Governor of Bengal will probably be revoked for some reason. β
When Zhuo Fei said this, Vivian and Angela realized that Zhuo Fei's current situation, for politicians, playing the trick of unloading the grind and killing the donkey is nothing, especially Zhuo Fei is still a yellow-skinned Asian, and the proud British aristocracy will never allow a yellow-skinned Chinese to become one of them. The plane landed smoothly in Kuala Lumpur, but the words Zhuo Fei said on the plane had been deeply engraved in the hearts of Vivian and Angela, and the two almost unanimously felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts.
Vivien and Angela, as Zhuo Fei's right-hand men, are also the first group of people to follow Zhuo Fei, and both public and private will put Zhuo Fei's safety first. When the plane arrived in Kuala Lumpur, only Angela accompanied Zhuo Fei to inspect the shipyard, but without Zhuo Fei's knowledge, Vivien went all the way north to a training camp located 30 kilometers north of Kuala Lumpur, and met with the director of the training camp, McHarken, in Zhuo Fei's name.
"Mike, I'm here to meet you this time, and the boss doesn't know." Vivien's first sentence had already caused McHarken's face to change instantly, and before Vivien could say the second sentence, McHarken had already pulled out the pistol on his waist. "Mike, wait until I'm done." Facing the pistol on his head, Vivien still said calmly, "Mike, I'm not a traitor, and I won't be bad for the boss, so you don't have to do this." β
Vivien's words didn't make McHarken put down his pistol, but the latter didn't stop Vivien from continuing, "Mike, the boss may be in trouble, the umbrella is expanding too quickly, and it will definitely touch the interests of Britain and the United States." We didn't pay attention to this before, but fortunately the war is going on and the boss won't be in real trouble until the war is over. We need to make some arrangements in advance now, and once the war is over, we need to take countermeasures before the Anglo-American careerists can do anything to the boss. β
Vivien spoke to McHarken, and after a brief moment of consideration, McHacken lowered his pistol. Unlike Weiwei'an, McHarken was a detainee who was inadvertently rescued from the police station when Zhuo Fei was in the United States, and if it wasn't for Zhuo Fei's rescue, McHacken would probably have been sentenced to life imprisonment by the court for intentional homicide. McHackon, who was also born in the military, has always been valued by Zhuo Fei, and Zhuo Fei also spent a lot of money to buy off a congressman and several New York police officers to quietly transfer McHackon's family to Myanmar.
McHacken also chose to be loyal to Zhuo Fei, if Vivian hadn't been under the banner of Zhuo Fei, she might not even be able to enter the door of this training camp, because the 800 training team members in this training camp are the secret force core of the umbrella. No one knew what Vivian and McHarken had said, even the people in the training camp only knew that Vivien was coming to the training camp on behalf of the boss, and they would not have thought that Vivian and McHarken, the director of the training camp, had conspired to create a shadow force that would later make the British and American politicians look bad and famous.
