"They Britons don't want to play the rest of the routines played by our German ancestors in front of me!" In the conference room of the German Navy, Field Marshal Raeder pounded the table and shouted loudly.
The German admiral who asked the question looked at Raeder, still uneasy.
Just now, the British Navy had agreed to let the Germans send troops to receive the two battleships and one aircraft carrier handed over to the Germans.
These were all the meat of Marshal Raeder's heart, and they were too important for the weak German Navy.
With the addition of these two battleships, plus an aircraft carrier, the German surface ships could immediately double their strength, which is definitely too good news to be true.
However, how to receive these warships became a difficult problem for the German Navy. Back then, they maintained their dignity with Operation Rainbow, and now it's their enemy's turn to prove themselves in this way.
"Assign the right people from within the Navy to supervise and accompany them! Every British sailor had to be guarded by two German watchmen! Raeder's first reaction was to send more manpower.
In fact, this kind of method can be imagined just by thinking about it, so it is not very effective in terms of actual effect.
The British Navy will still try its best to find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack when the German Navy is not expected, so that the German army will be caught off guard.
"In addition to this method, we also have to make another preparation, and it is also a good way to minimize the number of British people on the battleship." Another admiral suggested.
At this time, everyone was trying to find a way to prevent the British from playing with fire and self-immolation as much as possible. They had to make sure that they could actually get their hands on these ships, and that would be the complete victory of the Germans.
With this belief in mind, many practical options were soon devoured, such as having the British government stipulate that British soldiers should not destroy warships.
Germany also informed the Duke of Hamilton and asked him to give assurances that the British Royal Navy would not destroy the ships to be handed over to the German Navy.
If, before being handed over to the German Navy, these battleships were sunk, the responsibility was entirely on the side of the British, who would have to compensate.
Although this clause was very unreasonable, the British side had to pinch their noses and admit the excessive demands of the Germans.
Because just a few hours earlier, Germany had advanced to the vicinity of Bristol. If Britain did not sign the treaty in a hurry, the Germans might have to change the terms of the treaty further.
"Hurry up and sign the document, I must return to China with this document, and as for the matter of the battleship, I will also inform His Majesty the Emperor." Duke Hamilton reluctantly urged.
Contrary to what he had thought, Britain would be in a hurry to sign a peace treaty that would be very unfavorable to him. This made the Duke of Hamilton feel ashamed, and he couldn't wait to return to China to finish his errand.
"Presumably, your Prime Minister Winston Churchill is stepping down, right?" Ribbentrop asked the Duke of Hamilton.
Hearing this question, the Duke of Hamilton nodded and replied, "Yes, he has been impeached, and the emergency recall process is being initiated in the country." ”
"So, is Britain willing to hand over this man to Germany?" Hearing the good news that Churchill was about to step down, Ribbentrop tentatively continued to ask.
Although he could not be sure that the British would shield Churchill, he was almost certain that Churchill would not be sent to Germany so easily.
Sure enough, Hamilton smiled wryly and explained to Ribbentrop: "This morning's plane, Churchill has already flown to Greenland. ”
Even if he expected Churchill to run, Ribbentrop did not expect that the former British Prime Minister would run so simply, so resolutely, and so without hesitation.
Also as a diplomat, Ribbentrop knew that Churchill's run was a complete revitalization of his future.
If he could reach the United States safely, then it would be possible for him to set up a British government in exile, although it would not have the authority of the British royal family, but it would also open up another possibility for Britain.
The premise is that Churchill can reach the United States. Hearing Duke Hamilton's answer, Ribbentrop looked at the white clouds in the sky and sneered.
In the sky near Greenland, a British transport plane was jolting around the height of the clouds.
Churchill was wrapped in a thick coat, feeling the chill of the cold air flowing into his body through the cracks.
Germany had already won the war against Britain, and now the rest was left to hold on to himself.
He had to establish a government-in-exile in Canada in the shortest possible time, allied with the United States against the expanding Third Reich.
First, he had to convince Canadian officials that they were willing to abandon the British royal family and fight the Germans as best they could in the next year or two.
Second, it is necessary to enlist the continued support of the United States and arm enough Canadian troops to support German expansion in other directions.
Finally, Churchill had to liaise with colonies in the Middle East and South Africa, so that these places could continue to resist German aggression and defeat German attacks.
None of these things are easy targets to achieve, so even the iron-blooded Prime Minister Winston Churchill cannot guarantee that he will be able to accomplish these plans.
He could only try to persevere, insisting on completing every plan. Because only by completing these plans can he show his worth and continue to be his "Prime Minister of the British Empire" in Canada.
"Sir! Mr! While Churchill was pondering, a British official came over, his face was very ugly, and he opened his mouth to report the most critical situation: "There are German planes intercepting ......"
Yes, there were German planes intercepting, and it was just about to enter the airspace near Greenland.
This is the F-190T fighter of the German Navy, which belongs to the standard fighter of the aircraft carrier fleet of the German Navy.
They took off from the only German aircraft carrier, the USS Zeppelin, specifically to intercept the British plane flying to Canada.
"Why we're staying here, you know now, right?" Hines smirked and boasted to Ruetjens.
"How could the Führer know that there are important people who are going to fly to the Americas at this time?" Lütjans still felt that he couldn't figure it out, and there would be people in the world who really expected things to happen like a prophet.
Even if the Führer had indeed behaved in the realm of an uncertain prophet before, he was not the kind of prophet that science could not explain, as Lutyans was sure.
However, after intercepting the American fleet, the German fleet was ordered to stand by in the nearby waters after receiving the news of possible peace talks with the British.
"In the course of the peace talks between Britain and our country, only a small number of planes flew from Britain to Greenland...... Today this is the first one. "Hines gave the Führer's analysis.
"Anyway, it's an important person or information, just shoot it down." He smiled and gave the answer, which also offset the last bit of mystery.
"But...... But how did you expect the British to have these planes? Lu Teyans still did not give up, and continued to ask in annoyance.
"I don't know...... Hines replied very simply, he had an F-190T in his hand that was better than the Spitfire fighter escorted by the British, and he spoke naturally with confidence: "Can't you shoot them down?" ”
Li Le would not have calculated that Britain would really arrange for important people and materials to take the air route, but it was safer in the air than the sea with the largest carrying capacity.
After all, Germany hardly ever intercepted a British plane over the Atlantic, and sinking ships was a daily occurrence.
From the very beginning, the Germans only intercepted transport ships from the United States to Great Britain, and a few days earlier began to attack returning ships from Britain to the United States. The German Navy has already been ordered to change the focus of its attack.
If Churchill was willing to spend his days in the dimly lit compartments of a submarine, Germany would not have had a good way to intercept it.
But this route of Churchill's escape from the air, Li Le wanted to try to intercept it.
After all, it was impossible for Britain to hand over Churchill honestly. And the time for Britain to dare to play tricks with Germany was limited to the days before the treaty was signed.
Therefore, Li Le let his fleet move closer to Greenland and use radar to search for all targets in the sky.
Fortunately, this time the luck of the German army was really very against the sky, and the first plane they intercepted was the transport plane that Churchill was flying in.
Because they wanted to protect Churchill's safety, the British Air Force took off two P-40 fighter jets to cover the transport plane in which Churchill was traveling.
Mainly because the Spitfire had a somewhat short range, the British chose the P-40 fighter with a more exaggerated range.
It was also the accompaniment of these two British fighters that increased the radar reflection area of the aircraft formation, allowing the German fighters to take off and intercept them at the extreme detection range.
So, when Churchill saw through the porthole of the plane four German F-190T fighters chasing the two P-40 fighters escorting him, he knew that he probably couldn't get out of here today.
He leaned against the porthole and looked at the blue sky in the distance, and the same blue water below the sky.
When he was young, such a vast world belonged to the great British Empire......
Now, these places have been divided among those who came after them. The empire he fought for all his life is gone, and no one knows if the country has a future.
Churchill's emotions and thoughts were interrupted by a black streak of a P-40 fighter jet being hit by the engine, dragging a long black smoke and crashing into the sea.
The bullet pierced the fuselage skin and rushed into the cabin, and Churchill closed his eyes in regret.
