"The Navy General Command has just sent a telegram that we hope to increase our order to 20 ships, because we are in great need of similar ships." The German Major General named Geers made a request for this meeting.
Somerville frowned, thinking hard. From his point of view, he really didn't want the German Navy to develop into an ocean-going protection navy.
A destructive navy is not to be feared, because after destruction, such a sea force will not be able to use the sea.
However, if the German Navy becomes an ocean-going protective navy, with ocean-going landing capabilities, escort and anti-submarine warfare capabilities, then Britain will never be able to get rid of the shadow of the Germans.
The creation of 10 large landing ships for the German Navy has already made Britain difficult to talk about. The channel barrier no longer exists, and now do we have to fill in the English Channel with our own hands?
The more landing ships the German Navy had, the less secure the future of the British mainland became β hundreds of thousands of German troops could cross the Channel at any time, which was an absolute nightmare for King George VI of England.
"We can't move any more docks, and if we need to place additional orders, maybe in January next year, there will be a spare dock that will be vacant." Somerville replied.
He did not completely refuse the other party's demands, because the post-war cooperative relationship between Germany and Britain was not bad, and the two sides did not tear their faces, so there was no need to offend the other party.
The German Major General named Gehrs spoke English quite well, and it was because of this that he was sent to the North of England as a liaison officer.
And in order to give this liaison officer some weight, Germany gave him the rank of major general, which can be regarded as a kind of reward, a means of rewarding the other party for daring to serve in the north of Britain.
There are many such major generals in Britain, who have never led troops, and whose diplomatic skills are even stronger than their command and combat skills.
On weekdays, it is their job to eat and drink with the British high-level, attend some gatherings, and convey some voices on behalf of the German high-level.
Compared to the officers and soldiers who fought bloody battles on the muddy battlefields of the Eastern Front, their battlefields were no different from heaven.
But under the mask of peace, there is also an invisible behemoth running behind them, this behemoth is the intelligence agency of the Third Reich, the shadow that once gave the British a headache to death!
Taking advantage of the convenience of the occupied territories, the Germans were really developing their own intelligence network. They hired Britons of German origin, and even directly sold not very determined Britons to provide intelligence for German intelligence.
German intelligence agents from Britain broke into the United States, and under the guise of the British, they collected all kinds of intelligence and sent it back to Germany.
In this way, Adrian really developed an intelligence network rooted in the United States, which could collect some insignificant intelligence, and Germany no longer knew anything about the United States.
The fading FΓΌhrer Li Le, a time-traveler's foreknowledge of the future, has now been replaced by a regular German intelligence network.
With the help of computers, Germany was able to decipher the American cipher code extremely quickly, and the American communication network had become Germany's number one source of intelligence.
Supplemented by a German intelligence network on the American mainland, Germany has taken control of a great deal of American decision-making. Even most of the movements of American troops were well known to the German leadership.
"General Somerville, this is a considerable order, and if you give it up easily, it will seriously affect your country's economy." Major General Gers spoke.
As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers and gave his own price code: "Ten landing ships, a list of reparations of 200 million German marks!" β
Hearing this price, Somerville was silent, he did not know whether to refuse, or to agree to this condition, to build 10 more large landing ships for Germany.
You must know that after the defeat of Britain, it owed Germany a large amount of war reparations, and without the support of India and Canada, Britain really did not have much ability to repay.
It was only natural to repay the debt, not to mention that the German troops were eyeing the south of England, so Britain had to repay the war reparations to Germany.
And this huge batch of war reparations is really a heavy burden for Britain. In order to alleviate this burden, Britain has been producing arms for Germany to pay off its debts.
After all, the arms trade is hugely profitable at all times. Germany was anxious to expand its army, so it was very generous when it came to arms. They almost never bargain, and the profits they give to the UK are tempting.
"General Gers, I have to admit that the sincerity of your country makes it difficult to uphold your principles." Somerville said depressedly.
He sighed, then drank the coffee from the cup in front of him, and then continued: "I will submit this request to the Prime Minister, and His Majesty will seriously consider the needs of your country." β
"You see, in fact, our two countries have many interests that are the same." Major General Gers stood up with a smile and said, "For example, when it comes to making money, we all have the same desire for profit. β
"Ahh I almost forgot! That's what I'm here for. Gers had already gotten up to leave, but suddenly stopped his steps, pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Somerville.
The latter opened the paper and saw that it was full of names, some of which he was even familiar with, since they worked in his office.
"We have deciphered the code used by the U.S. intelligence agencies, and the names on it are the people who have been in contact with the information, and we are obligated to share the spy list with you under Article 7 of the Mutual Defense Agreement." Gers looked at Somerville with a shocked face, and the smile on his face was still bright.
But to Somerville, Gels's smile was so cold at this moment, as if it was about to devour people's souls.
And the list in his hand is really a death record - each name on it represents the person who may disappear from this world in the next few days.
"You see, we don't have the power to arrest people directly in the north of the British, but we still hope that your country's security services will take enemy spies seriously." When Gers said this, he put away his smile: "After all, this is a time of war, and some things are sloppy. β
"I ...... I see. Somerville clenched the paper in his hand and said in a routine manner: "We need tangible evidence, and arresting people indiscriminately will have a bad effect......
