198 Goebbels' propaganda machine
Late on the night of the 25th, the frenzied bombardment of the Germans that lasted all day finally gradually subsided, and Churchill did not say a word after listening to the military report on the war situation, but waved his hand to let the generals leave. He then left 10 Downing Street in a wheelchair www.biquge.info accompanied by two cronies.
In the darkness of the night, instead of cheering for his people as usual, he silently crossed the Westminster Bridge to the door of a 20-storey high-rise building on the south side of the bridge with the 'Government Telecommunications Bureau', and then disappeared into the high-rise building.
"Menzies, is the plan going well?"
Churchill's voice was very strange, perhaps because it had lost some of its characteristics, making his voice less powerful and powerful, but with a strange sharpness.
"There was a little mistake along the way, but there were no big surprises, and I should be able to get the photos tomorrow morning, and my people have already come here with the photos."
"Good! Very good! Listen, pick the photos and distribute them to all the media in London tomorrow morning! You should know exactly what to say! ”
"Prime Minister, rest assured, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for us."
......
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill was not idle, and likewise, neither was German Führer Heydrich.
When Heydrich heard von Bock's report, he immediately called an emergency meeting.
In contrast to the way the military looked at the problem, Heydrich had just briefed Dover on what he had discovered, and the politicians immediately smelled something unusual, knowing that this was the simplest and most effective form of political discredit.
But because the key figure in the incident, the British agent, and his fountain pen are all gone, it is obvious that it is impossible to prevent the British government from using this matter to make a fuss, so what the German government can do is to quickly respond to it.
And there is only one way to deal with this, and that is to take the absolute initiative in publicity.
Heydrich soon made a decision, and of course, it was obvious, and the German government entrusted the matter to Josef Goebbels, the German government's propaganda minister.
Goebbels' control over the media has long been outrageous, not only the domestic media, but even many international mainstream media have been infiltrated and controlled to varying degrees by Goebbels' people.
The German propaganda machine, which had not been fully activated for a long time, began at this moment, and finally turned on at full power again.
Less than an hour after the meeting, some media outlets began to spread the word that the German landing force had discovered a warehouse in the city of Dover filled with the corpses of British civilians, and that there were scattered and destroyed parts of pro-German propaganda posters and other materials.
Immediately after that, a plane quickly flew to Dover, and the warehouse that was originally tightly guarded immediately became busy, and a group of people began to set up the scene non-stop, and even Li Ling, who originally wanted to rest, was forcibly pulled out.
Because Li Ling happened to be in the warehouse when the British agent was found at that time, and he was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, it is very likely that the photos of Li Ling and those corpses have been mastered by the British agents and are already on their way to London, so Goebbels must do a good job of propaganda arrangements for this area.
Soon, a new set of photographs came out, a group of German soldiers gathered in a warehouse full of corpses, a Chinese-faced German lieutenant general standing next to the corpse full of grief, and at the same time, a recording was circulated, in which the Chinese general scolded the brute who had done these things, and vowed to avenge these ordinary people who should have nothing to do with the war, and angrily denounced the British government's severe physical persecution of dissidents.
Initially, the news did not attract the attention of many people, after all, it was late at night, and not many people would listen to the radio at all, and as for the newspapers, it was all the next morning.
But then, in the early morning of the 26th, Goebbels urgently summoned the ambassadors of almost all major embassies in Germany and various news media, crossed the English Channel on a German naval ship, and stayed up all night to arrive in Dover.
Upon arrival at Dover, Goebbels led the group of important men straight to the warehouse.
When they arrived at the warehouse, a huge searchlight illuminated the neighborhood.
The German soldiers were working tirelessly to carry the bodies of the victims from the warehouse, neatly arranging them on both sides of the road, and covering them all with white cloths.
At the same time, there was a man dressed in a priest's costume, holding a Bible, and praying for the remains of each victim.
The ambassadors brought by Goebbels did not say a word, and every word they said was responsible for their country, so they did not dare to speak easily, but for such a scene, each of them inevitably felt a little sad in their hearts.
As for those reporters, these people have nothing to talk about, in their eyes, news is life, and such news that shocks the world will definitely become the most colorful report of their careers.
They kept taking pictures, inside and outside the warehouse, the propaganda posters stacked next to the door of the warehouse calling for a peaceful settlement of the dispute between Britain and Germany, the bodies of those who were killed, and the tears of the German general who was at the scene!
And what happened to Dover at this time, Churchill in London was unaware, at this time he was full of the success of his plan, although the plan sounded a little wrong, but his MI6 finally lived up to expectations, got the photo and brought it out.
Now that the few photographs he had had had been sent to newspapers in various parts of Britain, it would be early tomorrow morning when the newspaper machines began to print like crazy, and then the news of the massacre of British civilians after the German soldiers landed would shock the whole world!
When the time comes, I will stand up as a victim and wave my flag and shout, not to mention Halifax, even US President Roosevelt, who has always been ambiguous, must stand behind his back at this time! And the Stalin who tried to play with himself, if he dared not stand up against Germany, then his USSR was an accomplice of the executioners!
Churchill was agitated and didn't sleep all night, he couldn't sleep, he knew that his British Empire would see the light again after the sun had risen!
It's just that he never thought of it!
The sun had risen, and instead of his own supporters, he had been greeted by an angry crowd! (To be continued.) )
