ps: There are a lot of things in the unit in the past two days, and the update may not be on time, sorry......

On July 1, 1944, for the first time in nearly five years after the declaration of war between Britain and Germany, there was finally a passenger ferry route from Hamburg to the British mainland. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

But this time the passenger ship is different, not only is there a warship escort around, there are also aircraft patrolling overhead, a large number of swastikats are clustered, and the "North Germany" of the Hamburg shipping company also hoisted the British flag for the first time in history. Although it was a passenger ship, there was only one real guest on it - the Duke of Windsor, or Edward VIII as he was called. The entire ship, apart from his family members, employees, and a few henchmen, was a German commando team ordered to protect him.

The 36-man commando team was formed on the basis of the Ranke Commando and combined with the Brandenburg troops, led by Skoltzny, codenamed "Team K". All the team members can speak fluent English, and compared with Operation Skythunder, this time the manpower of violent destruction has been reduced, and a variety of manpower such as communication, explosion-proof, tracking, and anti-eavesdropping have been added, and considering that Edward VIII still has female dependents, 4 women have been arranged in the team.

In fact, Skoltner mainly appears as a leader and coordinator, with a cool head and decisive judgment, and he has the least of the real unique hard kung fu such as fighting, stealth, assassination, etc., at most his marksmanship is not bad, they disguise themselves as various characters and surround the black cat, Edward VIII's bodyguards who originally relied on him were in front of the commando team, and he had no power to fight back at all, so he happily appointed this unit as the inner circle guard.

Skollzny's pseudonym is David. After getting acquainted, Edward became curious about them.

However, the cut of the opening sentence is still unexpected: "I heard, you all call me a black cat?" ”

Skoltsny nodded awkwardly, but still came up with a reason in a hurry: "Your Majesty, this is not too derogatory, but rather a kind of awe for you." ”

"Tell me about it." Edward VIII looked at him with a smile, black cats are ominous and unlucky animals in European legends and traditions, and he is eager to hear them say flowers.

"First, the black cat has an intimidating power, not only in itself, but in the prestige of tradition, which the British royal family possesses; Second, the life of the black cat is very hard - the cat has nine lives, His Majesty first abdicated, then restored, first exiled to the island, and then returned to Great Britain, which speaks volumes about your destiny, this legendary experience I know that there is only one person in history - Emperor Napoleon. ”

Edward VIII laughed: "You are very good at talking, and you are very good at improvisation, and even more rarely, you speak English very well." ”

"What do you think of the Führer's English?"

"Very nice, fluent and urbane...... Awesome! ”

"The Führer is a genius!" "The Führer started learning English about a year and a half ago, and before that he knew almost nothing, but now I bet that if he could make a speech in English, he would have been learning English for at least 15 years," Skoltsny laughed. ”

Everyone was deceived by Hoffman, how could Hoffman, as a later Kochi scholar, not know English? But he knew that Hitler did not know English, so he gradually exposed it, creating a jaw-dropping image of a "genius".

Mrs. Simpson had seen several of the bodyguards in action, and was particularly interested in the adventures of the others, and was eager for Skorzny to talk about them, much to Edward's curiosity.

"Your Majesty, Madam, you guessed it right, my comrades-in-arms and I have carried out many missions, the most important experience is repeated battles with British spies, and many of them have even been to England on missions." "To be honest, I'm reluctant to look back on this experience, and while we got the job done, we lost our best brother...... He stayed in England and never returned. ”

"You mean?"

"That's right, it's the hero of that movie - Rank."

"Oh my God!" Mrs. Simpson covered her mouth and said, "Did you really blow up that manor?" Kill the codebreaking team, that's amazing! ”

Skorzny nodded.

Edward VIII was a little embarrassed, no matter how he said that he was also British, he didn't know what to say about this matter.

"Your Majesty, the war is over, you have been running for the peace of Britain and Germany, there is no need to be depressed about all this - it was not caused by you." "I personally have no ill feelings towards the British, everyone is for the country, but it is a pity that our battles have won benefits and glory for the country, and some people in your country are fighting only to satisfy their ambitions." Even when you return to China this time, they still want to harm you so that they can continue to provoke disputes between Britain and Germany. ”

As soon as he said this, the black cat nodded heartily.

Hoffman made it clear to him: "Your Majesty, I have always sincerely negotiated peace with Great Britain, but Great Britain has missed many opportunities: if your country and I make peace and form an alliance at the end of the French campaign, we will now be the two heads of the world—Great Britain is responsible for the sea, and Germany is responsible for land; If peace had been negotiated after the North African campaign, Great Britain would at least have retained India and most of its colonies; If peace had been negotiated last year, you would have had a chance to keep Iceland, but now you ...... Ay. ”

Edward VIII also seriously thought about these words, if Hess's peace conditions had been accepted to achieve Anglo-German co-rule, then Europe would have been peaceful a long time ago, and the two could even take down all the French colonies, Petain dared to shout? - The German Army and the British Navy will beat the French so that they will not even be able to find the north, and Germany will not ally with Japan - what about Southeast Asia and India?

Now it is good, France quickly lay down and admit defeat, not only kept the huge African colonies, took the opportunity to restore a little economy, and even ate the Channel Islands of Great Britain, Britain fell to fourth in Europe, and even Pakistan counted on Germany to put pressure on Japan to help Britain keep it. But who is to blame for this?

A week earlier, the British Parliament had sent a telegram formally inviting him to return to China to succeed to the throne and preside over the situation, but Edward VIII was not in a hurry to return to England, but first engaged in a shuttle diplomacy on the continent, because he found that it was not London that decided the future of Great Britain, but the continent.

He said goodbye to the Lisbon regime and expressed his gratitude for the hospitality and protection that had been going on for more than a year, and he went to Spain to meet Franco to communicate over the pending question of Gibraltar; He went to France to meet with Petain and Darlan and apologize for the "ballista incident"; He went to Rome again, on the one hand to meet with the new Italian Prime Minister Ciano and reached a verbal agreement, and on the other hand, to discuss the strengthening of future relations between Britain and Italy; He even went to Romania to meet Antoniscu to match Britain with Pristina oil - the German side has officially spread the news that with the end of the war on the Eastern Front, Romanian oil oil can be freely sold in Europe, not only to sell to Germany, now that Britain is short of oil, Edward wants to finalize the energy supply as soon as possible; Finally, he went to Berlin for a secret meeting with Hoffmann on how to make policy adjustments in future European cooperation, and Hoffmann warmly received him and issued a statement on his vision for the UK.

Troop K took the opportunity to slowly make a public appearance at Edward VIII, familiarize himself with his temper and style of life, and try to learn more about it, and make an early appearance to reduce the surprise of future appearances in England - the British people already knew in advance through the newspapers that the king had a group of bodyguards sent to his side. By the time Edward left for London, the entire K-Force was fully integrated into the group.

Strictly speaking, Britain and Germany have not yet achieved peace and have not even signed a formal "armistice agreement", but because the British side has officially handed over two armored aircraft carriers as a guarantee, Britain and Germany have de facto achieved a ceasefire. According to the unwritten tacit understanding between Britain and Germany, if someone in the UK wants to move to Canada during this time, everything will be respected, and if it is a transport plane, it is enough to notify it in advance; If it is a passenger ship, it is sufficient to undergo a stop inspection on the way. The busiest at the moment was Goebbels' propaganda department, which used the "Voice of Europe" to confront the Anglo-American regime.

While scolding Churchill for his treason and Attlee's coup for surrendering, there is one thing that cannot be avoided: Prime Minister Churchill, who once called for 45 million British people to resist to the end, has now abandoned his country and people, whom he has repeatedly said will fight to the end.

In order to establish a positive image and to justify the new government, Attlee's cabinet announced the cause of Marshal Pound's death, accusing the U.S. government of using the U.S. military in Britain to stage a coup d'état, detain parliamentarians, and try to establish Churchill's "dictatorship and lackey" regime, while Churchill in turn attacked Attlee for surrendering and betraying the country and ceding the main warships left by the Royal Navy to Germany.

There is shit under the butts of both sides, and they are in a state of scuffle, so that the people can't tell who is right and who is wrong, but there is a point of view that is relatively consistent, after the German capture of Iceland, the British Empire has been completely trapped in the North Sea, and the axis can trap Great Britain to death without fighting, so no one shouts crazy words such as "resist to the end, decisive battle at home".

A large number of middle- and upper-class people leave Great Britain every day, and air and ferry tickets are hard to come by, and the prices are high, and the middle class cannot afford to buy an air ticket or a ferry ticket after selling all their possessions. Attlee's cabinet and King Edward VIII expressed concern about the exodus of these figures, but Hoffman believed that this wave of exodus was not a crisis for the new regime, but rather an opportunity for the new government - "those who oppose His Majesty are gone, and those who remain must be those who support His Majesty."

Edward VIII was stunned by this conclusion, but then nodded yes. The simplest reason is that there are fewer officials and fewer parliamentarians, and these positions need to be filled, and those who are filled in are the defenders of the vested interests of the new regime.
