It was January, and the sky over Berlin was dark before 6 p.m., and it was the golden time for Goebbels' Central Broadcasting Directorate to carry out brainwashing propaganda against the people. In a studio full of equipment www.biquge.info, Kate Rockwell, who has the honorary title of "People's Announcer", sits in front of the stage in high spirits. When the staff waved their arms to signal the start, Rockwell immediately spoke passionately and loudly:

"All the people of Germany! Now with the latest news, our Intrepid War Navy has once again achieved a complete victory over the British Navy in the waters of southwestern Norway in the day's day. In total, our army sank 4 British battleships, 3 large aircraft carriers, 12 cruisers or destroyers, with a total tonnage of more than 230,000 tons, while losing only 3 destroyers of its own! Britain's criminal ambition to invade Norway was shattered, and 3.5 million of the Germanic compatriots in Northern Europe were gratefully joined by the Greater German family with Berlin at its core. ”

“…… Ever since Britain declared war on us last September, the fierce British bandits and the criminal Jewish forces behind them have not ceased for a moment their necessitant acts of destroying National Socialist Germany. Even after the German justice verdict at Scapa Bay, they still stubbornly and frantically chose to be our enemy. After repeated defeats in the Atlantic theater, the frenzied British bandits, in collusion with cornered Jewish thieves, chose to extend their claws to neutral Norway, intending to close the strategic space of the German Navy by controlling Scandinavia, so as to save its crumbling naval defeat. ”

However, their plan turned out to be a ridiculous dream. With unparalleled courage and wisdom, the German Navy won a brilliant victory in the annals of history in the battle against the British fleet. The whole world witnessed the change of the kings of European sea power: the young German War Navy, under the leadership of the Great Führer and Wise Commander (Raeder), took the Trident of Poseidon from the decaying British Navy! Let us express our deepest gratitude to all the officers and men of the Navy and the shipbuilding workers, it is your hard work and sweat for countless days and nights that have enabled the German Navy to be reborn and win everything that belongs to us with the spirit of the return of the king! ”

With the impassioned words on the radio echoing in the Bode Plains, the whole of Germany seemed to boil in an instant. The workers put down their torches and hammers, the farmers threw away their sickles and hoes, the citizens rushed to tell each other, and the students threw the pages of their books...... Millions of people poured into the streets of cities and towns in Germany, hugging and cheering for victory. The fireworks at the fireworks shop were sold out in a very short time, and the dark night sky was immediately reflected in the beautiful brilliance of the purple and red; The restaurant and beer hall were packed, and the air was filled with the crisp sound of bottles and glasses colliding warmly.

For the German people, the significance of this naval victory is even more significant than the surprise attack on Scarpa Bay four months ago, although the German navy's results on that day were even better than today's, but it was a preemptive sneak attack after all, and today's head-to-head showdown between the two navies is not on the same level. Now, the British Navy, a huge nightmare that had overwhelmed two generations of Germans, has been crushed from the front by the German fleet, which is enough to make every German cry with excitement and joy!

Swept by the high-rise alleys of London, Neville-Chamberlain, who was in his late teens, sat like a dead log in the official office at 10 Downing Street, his empty eyes losing all color. Next to him, several wartime cabinet ministers were also pale, and the news of the naval defeat reached them as soon as possible, and everyone was instantly like being struck by thunder after learning the bad news, and their hearts were full of shock and panic.

People all over the world know that the most important force on which Great Britain relied to support the power of the empire and the security of the country was the navy. It was precisely because of the arch of the fleet that Napoleon, who swept across Europe, and the extremely powerful Wilhelm Empire, failed to defeat Britain across the sea, so that the sun over the latter continued to shine for another hundred years. Although Britain suffered a major setback in the subsequent world war and was forced to let the United States share the throne of the world's number one navy with itself, Britain, which has geographical advantages, is still the undisputed de facto hegemon of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, and its 100 15-inch heavy guns are enough to beat the super dreadnought lineup of the United States and Japan equipped with 14-inch guns.

However, such a brilliant fleet suffered a devastating defeat in front of the reborn German navy. In just four months, three-fifths of the capital ships and almost all of the aircraft carriers were destroyed, cruisers and destroyers were also heavily damaged, and the overall size of the navy plummeted to the point where it was only slightly stronger than the Italians. Chamberlain and other cabinet ministers no longer had the energy to think about how the Germans had done this, and they had only one concern in mind, that is, what should Britain do in the future war?

"Britain is still able to continue fighting." A fat man with a bloated figure spoke in a deep voice, his eyes revealing unwavering firmness and perseverance, "Although we have lost many large ships, the German fleet has also suffered a heavy blow: 2 Bismarck-class battleships were all heavily damaged by large-caliber naval guns and ship-fired torpedoes, and 4 aircraft carriers were also severely damaged by Air Force bombers, either sinking or completely losing their combat capability. Within the next six months, Britain will face only three pocket battleships as the strongest enemy at sea. Even if the Germans took control of Norway and drastically shortened the range of their ships into the North Atlantic, this little power would not be enough to bring us to our knees. ”

"Even if the situation is as you say, how are we going to resist the Germans after six months?" War Minister Berisha stared at the fat man's round face and said in a cold voice. Since the beginning of the war, the British Navy has dug up too many resources from the army to build ships in the name of making up for the losses in Scapa Bay, which has directly delayed the expansion of the army, and the new units of the entire division are seriously lacking heavy weapons, equipment, and transport vehicles.

However, today, Berisha realized that all the precious resources he had squeezed out had been wasted, and the Navy guys were simply a bunch of rice buckets, and they would only send their heads to Germany when they started a war! As soon as he thought about this, the anger in Berisha's heart was almost uncontrollable: Your Churchill navy has been beaten to the ground despite the absolute superiority of the line-up, how can this little force be able to fight now?

A hint of guilt appeared on Churchill's face, but his words did not waver: "In 1937 we started construction of a large number of new warships, a total of 5 battleships and 4 fleet carriers; Two battleships and three aircraft carriers have been launched, and the outfitting completion rate is more than 50%. If we can concentrate our manpower and resources on building these five large warships that have already been launched, they are all expected to enter service within this year. The performance of these new ships is far superior to the existing old ships of our armed forces, and they will certainly be able to bring about a change in the current situation at sea. ”

"In addition, we can also ask for help from the Americans. The White House absolutely does not want to see Britain defeated and let Hitler dominate the European continent, and the new version of the "Neutrality Act" passed by President Roosevelt two months ago is a powerful aid to Britain's just cause, and I believe that he will certainly be able to change the isolationist sentiment in the United States and let the United States continue to penetrate into it according to the changes in the situation in Europe. Churchill added.

Foreign Secretary Halifax glanced at the fat man with a resolute look and said slowly: "I support His Excellency Churchill's opinion. The Anglo-German war was not only a military issue, but also a political one. First of all, we have an alliance with France, neither of which can make peace with Germany alone, and now that the French line of defense in the east is as solid as a rock, neither Chancellor Daladier nor General Gammelin will agree to a humiliating peace with Germany. ”

"Moreover, if we are the first to show weakness in this war, Britain's standing in the Commonwealth and in the world will be greatly reduced. At that time, without the harsh armistice conditions attached to the Germans, we ourselves will be degenerated into a second-rate country because of internal problems! Therefore, unless we reach a desperate situation that cannot be saved, we should grit our teeth and persevere. Continuing to fight will also hopefully restore Britain's former glory as a world empire, and if we choose to sue for peace, we will only become Hitler's vassals. Halifax said with a solemn expression.

War Chancellor Berisha fell silent. In fact, what he had just questioned about Churchill was only to hate the incompetence of the Navy today, and he did not have a negative attitude towards whether Britain would persist in fighting. As Halifax said, Britain must not let this naval defeat give rise to the idea of peace; If this is done, it will not only be France that will be sold, but Britain itself will be removed from the list of first-class countries, and the alienation of the colonial dominions and the contempt of the countries of the world will be enough to plunge the 300-year-old foundation of this world empire into a situation of never-ending decline.

Taking a step back, even if it really wants peace talks, Britain needs to fight on the battlefield to gain the level of the other side and respect. For a large country, a sufficiently decent truce is undoubtedly a crucial prerequisite for peace.

The Air Force Secretary and the Chancellor of the Exchequer glanced at each other, and both read in each other's gazes their approval of Halifax's words. Chamberlain, who was sitting at the top, pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly: "Since everyone has no objection to the future, let's inform the BBC to blow the battle horn tonight." We must play the death knell as a symphony of destiny that strikes people's hearts, so that all the people can inspire the heart of the fighter who is still tenacious and unyielding in the face of adversity! ”

"And as for the loss of this battle, someone has to take responsibility. The future of Great Britain depends on you. A smile appeared on Chamberlain's pale face, as if relieved, and as if relieved.
