After hearing the news, Li Le nodded reassuringly. He feared that someone would take advantage of the mother-daughter pair and have an impact on the SS.
What he needed was an absolutely loyal SS, a private army loyal to him. If this army is casually divided and infiltrated, won't it become a joke?
So Li Le needs to find Himmler's mother and daughter and take these two people into his own hands.
"Send the two of them back to Himmler's former residence and arrange for someone to take care of them. Keep an eye on them and don't let them touch anyone...... You know what I mean? Li Le glanced at Adrian and commanded.
Adri comprehended with peace of mind, stood up and saluted, "Yes, my Führer. I will personally arrange personnel to protect the mother and daughter, please rest assured. ”
Hearing Adrian's words, Li Le was relieved. In Germany under his control, it is estimated that no one has dared to blatantly hijack SS-controlled targets.
Relieved, Li Le also felt a trace of sleepiness. He had been highly nervous and had been worried that the Americans would be involved in the war.
Now, after he relaxed, the after-effects of not falling asleep all night erupted. He waved Adrian and motioned for him to stand down, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

"The defensive line on the Cornish peninsula is shrinking, and our planned tactics of ceding parts of the territory and depleting the German army seem to have begun to bear fruit." A general pointed to a map and reported to Churchill.
Churchill stood in front of the map, watching his generals analyze the current situation, and there was always a anger in his heart that could not be vented.
As the prime minister of the empire, his generals used retreat and surrendered their own people to delay the enemy's attack......
It's a shame that the other side is even shameless to say that the initial results have been achieved - if it had been a year ago, Churchill would have slapped this man with his own hands.
However, turning his head to look at the pale Sir Dill standing on the other side, and the silent Viscount Gort, Churchill could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and continue to listen to the other party's chatter.
"The Germans have now stopped advancing, their material consumption is enormous, and they can no longer support a protracted war." The general used the whip in his hand to draw a circle on the map, enclosing areas such as Portsmouth.
The Isle of Wight also has areas such as Southampton, which now have a permanent air base for the German army. These places are now a thorn in the side of Britain and a threat to London.
As the war progressed, Germany's strategic focus shifted from the devastated area of Dover to the barely usable area of Portsmouth.
And an attack here threatens to cut off the connection between the Cornish peninsula and London. This is now what the British army fears the most, and it is what the Germans want to do the most.
In front of this strategic goal, there is actually only one obstacle left in Bristol. Once captured, the Cornish Peninsula would become a British enclave.
"Ireland has been very unstable lately, and our forces in Northern Ireland have had to shrink, but the stability will not last long." One of the House Affairs officials attending the meeting told Churchill.
Britain is a country with clear regional divisions, as its name suggests.
The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which itself is named after a place name.
In fact, the UK mainland is also divided into Scotland, Wales and England, and the real irons are only England and Wales.
The northern part of Scotland was also suspicious in the early days, but it has been ruled for hundreds of years and has long since lost its desire to be independent.
However, once England and Wales are defeated, it is unclear whether they will be able to protect themselves immediately.
As for Ireland, it is definitely not a stable place, and in 1998, the Northern Ireland issue was still a headache for the British government.
In 1922, the Irish Civil War broke out, and Britain became a cause of chaos. The old and new hatreds were far from being forgotten at this time, and Ireland jumped out at the time of the German invasion, which was completely expected by everyone.
Even a few days ago, in his speech in Berlin, the German head of state had already touched on the question of Ireland. The Führer claimed to support the liberation movement in Ireland and was willing to provide all kinds of assistance to it.
The help he spoke of included a military landing on England soil. Now that the battle had reached this stage, Ireland was certainly willing to fight alongside the Germans.
"Then let the two newly trained infantry divisions go to Ireland! If they want war, we give them war! Churchill snorted coldly and gave his own answer.
Because the two countries are completely different in size, Britain has never been afraid of Ireland, which has little combat effectiveness.
"Now it's not Ireland's problem, it's that Germany is ready to have a model to beat us." The Foreign Secretary sighed and said what Churchill was unwilling to say.
Churchill, of course, also knew that the real lethality of the Irish problem was not how much pressure Britain could be put on Britain in Ireland, but the division that would be caused by it.
Once Ireland gets Northern Ireland back, then Scotland is likely to waver. By that time, Britain would cease to exist entirely.
As long as the Germans set up two puppet regimes in Ireland and Scotland, they could effectively divide and break the resistance of the British people.
At that time, Germany will occupy LinkedIn Gran and Wales, and it will become a matter of course, and no one will care.
After all, when it comes to the question of race, the Germans have long helped the British recognize their ancestors: everyone is descended from the Aryans, and the Saxons and Germans are like brothers, one family!
Thinking of this, everyone who attended the meeting couldn't help but feel a chill in their backs. Now that the battlefield is tight, everyone is a little exhausted, and if there are a lot of internal problems, it will completely collapse.
Churchill slapped the map with his hand and pulled all the wanderers back to reality: "It's a military meeting, and we'll discuss Ireland later!" ”
When it was Viscount Gort's turn, he might be the best of these generals at the moment.
The London Army Group, with its strong forces, had already counterattacked 7 kilometers to the south, driving the German units back out of artillery range.
Now London is no longer infested by German artillery, and only Viscount Gott is on several fronts, which is in a counterattack situation.
However, Viscount Goth is now mute and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering. His troops have lost more than 30,000 men, and the consumption of ammunition is very high.
In order to recapture these German-controlled positions, he lost almost all of the remaining tanks of the 1st Panzer Division, and also took a number of British planes to cover his attack.
Even in this situation, the London Army Group was not able to live up to his expectations.
Originally, he thought that with the loss of 50,000 people, he would be able to get Maidstone back anyway, but the facts were in front of him, and now he didn't even see the suburbs of Maidstone.
What he didn't know was that Dietrich and Liszt were more than willing to watch his troops fight back, because it was obviously more cost-effective to destroy the British in the wilderness than to fight in the streets of London.
The Führer had already issued the highest operational knowledge and demanded that the Germans avoid street fighting as much as possible. So the Germans now welcomed the British counterattack, and it was better to use up all their reserves on the way to the counterattack.
"The London side needs ammunition replenishment, and the troops need to rest." Viscount Gott made his own demands, which he had already made at his separate meeting yesterday.
Sadly, Sir Dill replied to him with the same answer as he had said at a separate meeting yesterday: "Supplies are running out right now, and I have no spare ammunition to replenish you." ”
"Then, I ask the London Army Group to pause its counterattack to the south and rest the troops." Instead, Viscount Goth spoke his mind.
Churchill didn't have much to do but agree to Gort's request: "Well, you can pause the counterattack and wait until new supplies arrive in Britain." ”
"Sir, there may not be any supplies coming anytime soon." An officer of the Navy walked into the conference room and said to Churchill with a gloomy face.
"What are you kidding, what are you talking nonsense?" When Churchill heard the news, his heart trembled and he asked in a dumb voice.
"The U.S. fleet was forced back by the German fleet, and this time the plan to rush supplies failed......" The naval officer had just received the news and rushed to report it.
His words made everyone talk about it, without this round of supplies, it is estimated that there are many places that will be unbearable.
"The plan to form the 3rd Panzer Division is also going to be suspended." An army general shook his head helplessly.
"There isn't enough steel to repair the battleship Ramirez, when will it be?" One of the admirals of the Navy complained to his companion in frustration.
"Grain, if you can't get any more food, the workers in the north will make trouble again." An official in charge of industry sighed.
The whole room was in chaos, and Churchill had no heart to suppress the fragmentary discussions.
At this time, he was just staring at the huge map of Britain in front of him, and suddenly his eyes went dark, and he fell headlong.
Sir Dill standing beside him quickly grabbed the fallen Churchill with his hand, and then the whole room became even more chaotic: "Doctor! Get a doctor! Mr. Prime Minister fainted! ”
