The Messerschmitt reconnaissance plane, tired of the ugliness of the British troops below, swung its wings and turned inland. Flying over a towering forest belt, the eyes suddenly open up, a rural idyllic scenery. Due to its proximity to the strait, the terrain is flat, large meadows and wheat fields, solitary trees and clumps of shrubs scattered among the gentle slopes, one or two wooden houses and a mill with a huge waterwheel stand by the small lake in the middle of the rice fields, the small river flows, the gray bark roof, and the brick chimney at the corner of the wooden eaves is still smoking.

And then the two Germans saw the ditch, the huge ditch...... Then there were the British soldiers who were scurrying all over the ground by the ditch. The anti-tank trench in front of me was almost complete, more than five meters wide and four meters deep, and the excavated earth had been piled up on the side facing away from the strait to form a man-made steep dam, and the entire trench was zigzag for several kilometers, and it was clearly ready to continue ahead.

Before the pilots could express their admiration at this spectacular construction project, the German reconnaissance plane was attacked by a storm. The attack came from an infantry position at the front of the anti-tank trench, but it was not the army soldiers who opened fire, but a group of euphoric rabble.

The British National Guard had swelled into a behemoth by this time, and its total number had exceeded that of the current British regular armed forces combined. In peacetime, this is completely unacceptable to the government, and it can be seen that these armed forces are composed of rural civilians, who bring their own supplies and manage them spontaneously, and have very free autonomy, just like the militia and rangers when the United States was founded. Once something happens, it can change the country.

One and a half million people, put in any country in Europe, is a force to be reckoned with. The reason why the British government was able to ignore its inflated and continue to push and arm them was that the British government was well aware of the weakness of this force.

Without the coordination of the government, these people are completely scattered. The base number does seem to be extremely large, but in fact it is divided into tens of thousands of squads, although they are all named such and such a company and a certain battalion, but in fact the largest team is only more than 200 people. The small contingent consisted of only a dozen village men and wild men, and this kind of armed force would be a rabble if it did not have a unified organization and command of professional soldiers. Once there is a problem, it is easy to let them destroy each other with a single command, and there is no big wave at all.

Most of these people knew little about the war, many had never touched a weapon, and they were supported by British national pride and so-called patriotic feelings. It's more about the fear of disruption of the existing rhythm of life. Fear of the aggressor. People have inertia, especially the British, and inertia has been carved into their bone marrow. They are accustomed to arranging their lives in an orderly manner, living a peaceful and peaceful life according to the schedule every day, and of course they also like to accept new things, but they must be based on the fact that the thing does not affect the rhythm of their life, otherwise any change will be dangerous and reckless. Anything new unless it's already fashionable. Otherwise, it must be rigorously demonstrated, if it is not clear. Then let's wait and see if anything happens to the idiot in the neighborhood, and if that guy doesn't hang up, I'll buy one too.

The British are gossip animals, keen on interpersonal communication, but the social circle is very fixed, outsiders want to join, unless there is an insider's guarantee or the person has a certain popularity, otherwise they have to spend a very long period of investigation, once the social circle is destroyed or disintegrated, it is simply the end of the world for the British.

The citizens of the British Empire are proud, the unprecedented sun never sets on the global hegemony of the empire, the navy overturned the Netherlands and Spain, the army conquered Germany and France, and led the world scientific and technological trend for decades after the industrial revolution. The brand of Citizen of the British Empire is still very delicious outside, even if it is a London thug, in the Far East, he can still run rampant on the beach. Therefore, any attempt to challenge the pride of the British and attempt to smash the golden sign of the British Empire, the British will fight back at all costs.

And now, the Germans have tied up the most hated things of the British to do it.

Britain was once disgraced by the Great Depression, but for the British in the countryside, the overall impact was not great, and twenty years of peace and quiet had allowed them to develop enough inertia. And the news of the imminent German invasion completely disrupted this peaceful rhythm of life.

All kinds of propaganda pamphlets were distributed in the government, relatives in the cities ran back to the countryside with their families, bringing all kinds of true and false gossip, radio stations laughed and scolded the sky, and the country tabloids were full of grotesque gossip, the new Führer of Germany was a fallen angel, the German soldiers were a group of bloodthirsty monsters, the German soldiers burned, killed and looted, the traps were captured and surrendered, the German tanks were strong and the guns were sharp, and the German artillery was eroded for dozens of miles, and the people and animals on the walls were all powdered and clouded.

The villagers were excited, and they sat around the tavern every day and talked about it. For example, "How can I live this day, it doesn't matter if the Germans go to London to burn and loot, but running to my village affects me to drink afternoon tea by the river every day, how can I bear it!" It's definitely going to have to be fought with the Germans. Jack and Anne in the village have gone to join the Air Force, and now I am the only one left in the Gang of Three, all of whom were killed by the Germans, and the master is fighting with you! The newspaper said that the British Empire had raised our squires for many years, and that the Day of the Dead was today, and I thought it made sense, and tomorrow I would go to Glasgow to buy a ticket to the United States, and go there to call prostitutes...... Gather 100,000 British expatriates to form a volunteer army and come back to King Qin......" is pretty much what it means.

Churchill's self-defense army summoning order was like a timely rain under the scorched sun, so that this group of panicked villagers and gentry had a goal, that night in the British land, large and small British villagers held torches in the countryside and ran and shouted, as if a festival, the German devils are coming, the villagers take up arms to do with the devils...... In just over a month, the self-defense forces of 1.5 million people were mobilized. It can be called a model in the history of British mobilization, and there is no one before or since.

In the face of all kinds of ferocious weapons of the German army, it is useless to simply rely on the number of people. Let this group of villagers rush forward like this, at most the Germans can pull the trigger and pull out the tenosynovitis. So, the first thing to do is to get them armed, and also give them the necessary training and appropriate tactics. The British government positioned this force as an auxiliary force to fight with the regular army units, delay the German army's movements, and deplete the Germans' strength. Disrupted the rhythm of the Germans' attack. The private expectation was that these men would cause the Germans a lot of trouble, and preferably enough blood for the Germans. Eventually, the Germans were forced to sign an armistice that could be seen.

The British government knew that unless the Germans could be prevented from coming ashore, once the beasts set foot on British soil, they would rely on the defence forces that Britain itself currently possessed. There is no hope of winning the war. Defeat is inevitable, and it is not so ugly to pursue defeat. Churchill also realized this for a long time, he did not expect the army to be able to hold the city of London, he was ready to stay in the semi-underground command bunker in Downing Street until the Germans rushed in, he asked his bodyguards to give him a 11.23mm pistol round on the head at the last moment, this is also a proud man, like Hitler, he will never allow himself to fall into the hands of the enemy.

Originally, the government-in-exile was also an option. But how miserable is a government in exile with no money because the reserves were looted by the Germans. The British have seen too much, once upon a time, Britain was the preferred destination for the government-in-exile of all the countries that perished, and if it weren't for these government-in-exile politicians, how could Britain afford to stir up back then. Now that it is the turn of Britain to go into exile itself, it is really necessary to think about research and research. Because there is no money, the people under the fence, the weak branches are strong, and if the Germans set up a pro-German government, the group of exiles will be tragic every minute. What's more, the British can still play the family card in the end, and it's a big deal to let the royal family come forward and kneel, after all, Windsor was surnamed Wettin before.

The bigwigs of the government have their own small calculations, and Churchill knows very well, but he must stand on the side of public opinion, coupled with the refusal to admit defeat in his character, he will never allow such a thing to happen without a fight during his tenure, he is Churchill, and he must go down in history.

Although the army's weapons were not enough, Churchill still forced out a batch of old rifles that had been reloaded and sealed, but after all, the base was too terrifying, and these rifles couldn't even make a splash when thrown down, and finally after the team was all armed, four of them were armed with cold weapons, and half of these cold weapons should actually be divided into agricultural tools.

Within a month or so the country workshops began to make all sorts of earthen guns and cannons, and the English blacksmiths were world-famous for their craft, and if the materials were sufficient, they could hammer out a macqin by hand. Various inventors in the countryside have also opened their minds, and strange weapon designs have emerged one after another, and it is not clear whether they are easy to use or not, anyway, they just use it themselves.

The English squires were the best armed in the Self-Defense Army, and most of them had a long family lineage, many of them had titles, farms and factories, various businesses, and regular incomes, so they had no need to worry about their livelihoods, so most of them had a hobby of hunting.

The English gentleman was so fond of hunting, recalling the glory days of those days, English hunters killed the whole world. The British slaughtered the rampant Indian tiger into a rare animal, and other extinct rare birds and beasts are innumerable. White rhinos and lions in the African savannah, as well as African elephants, are their favorites. The British have always advertised that the Chinese like to use rhinoceros horns to cure diseases, but not a single African rhino has died at the hands of the Chinese. The rhinos who died in the hands of British hunters could not be counted at all, and the British hunters personally went to Africa to slaughter rhinos, not for rhinoceros horns, they cut off the whole rhinoceros head to make a specimen and hang it on the wall to show off, or made a specimen to sell to other tyrants to hang on the wall to show off. Lions, elephants, bison, antelope, whatever they encounter, what they kill, also soaked.

They don't hunt for life, they hunt for fun and excitement. In order to hunt these beasts, the British gunsmiths prepared unparalleled killing weapons for these tycoons, exquisite large beast rifles, large-caliber shotguns, long-range sniper rifles, single-barreled double-barreled, pumped bolts, lever crankshafts, each of which is an expensive and dangerous craft.

Now, Sergeant Hans's BF110 reconnaissance plane is racing at a high speed under the accumulation of dozens of these crafts. (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and updated faster!)
