The commandos walked out of the room one by one with sapper shovels, the cold wind outside was sandwiched with goose feather-sized snowflakes, and they couldn't help but wrap their military coats tightly, this winter night was really cold.

"What are you going to do at such a late hour? Need our help? The farmer standing at the door yawned repeatedly.

Karen smiled and shook his head, "No need! Let's patrol the neighborhood and bury the trash thrown by the spies! We have left a dozen people to protect you, so you can sleep with peace of mind! ”

"Oh! We'll cook breakfast and wait for you to come back! The old man turned and walked into the house. If he knew that these people were going to bury a large amount of gold, he would have been surprised that he couldn't sleep all night, but in that case, these commandos would have killed people.

"What a lovely group of Brits! Poor no one loves! Cullen muttered quietly, deciding not to leave a few gold bricks for the family, for gold brought not wealth, but endless trouble. Naturally, the people who get the gold will be investigated by the British government, and people will interact with each other in this way, no matter how big the scale, the civil chaos and the panic of the people in this area will certainly be inevitable, and of course this is what the commandos want to see. However, most of the gold is still buried by them, and the grove behind the farm is a good choice.

"It looks like the snow won't stop for a while, just to cover up the traces left by our convoy!" Captain Xie Ding walked at the front of the line with a flashlight in his hand, the beam of light was full of fast-moving white snowflakes, and a few meters away it was dark. During the time they were eating, the snow on the ground had increased so much that it was almost below their feet.

"The soil on the ground must be frozen hard now, I'm afraid we'll need to dig a pit with some effort!" Captain Xie Ding, who was following Captain Xie Ding, said with some concern that the operation to bury the gold could be completed before dawn, leaving them with more than three hours, and it would be a difficult task to dig a few large pits and bury a ton and a half of gold, and provided that the British army had not tracked it down.

When the group came to the back of the granary, several commandos who were on guard there were stomping their feet incessantly, their hands covering their ears that were already frozen red, and the cattle and horses pulling the cart looked like they were too cold.

"Second Lieutenant, let the soldiers on duty change their posts every hour! It's so cold out there! "Captain Xie Ding suggested that the poor sentries had been standing here for more than an hour.

"Alright! Corporal, take your people back to the house and drink some hot soup first! Halim had a few commandos take their place, and another small team to take over the other posts deployed around the farm.

The canvas on the cars and ox-drawn carts loaded with gold had been piled up with a thick layer of snow, and in this place where there was no light, the huge gold bricks did not look much different from ordinary bricks.

"Let's drive to the woods!"

After Cullen's order was given, the engines of the two cars started with difficulty, and the cattle and horses also pulled the carts and staggered towards the woods.

"I think the Englishmen must have been blue in their faces when they arrived at the vault! I don't know what happened to Siggett and Second Lieutenant Tobias, they should be cooking a fire in some warm house right now! Hiding next to the car, Halim finally felt that the wind was not so strong, but the cold outside was still pressing.

In fact, he was only half right, the British commander did almost have a rash attack because of the tragic situation of the "Royal Treasury No. 11", and after Sigurt and Tobias and others broke away from the battle in several ways, no commandos fell into the hands of the British army for the time being. However, in order to avoid the pursuit of the British, Tobias entered a remote wooded area, and in this snowy winter night, they were shivering with cold under several large trees.

"Ensign! The British in the back seem to be gone, are we looking for a place to make a fire! The commando's lips were already purple from the cold, and this look was very worrying.

Tobias glanced at the dozen or so commandos who were resting under the trees, and his heart was very uneasy. If it weren't for his insistence on dragging back and taking cover, the soldiers wouldn't have had to follow him all night in retreat.

"The hateful Englishmen are chasing us so quickly! But as long as Siggett and Cullen retreat, it's worth it! Cheer up, everyone, we'll be safe through this woods! ”

Tobias did his best to inspire the exhausted and hungry soldiers, who were faced with rows and rows of British pursuers, who could hardly get past the battle, and it was best to stay as far away as possible. The only thing Tobias was glad for was that he didn't have any serious injuries here.

Syllable...... Laa......

Not far away, a crisp gunshot rang out, and the snow on many branches was shaken off, and the echo was heard far away among the leafless trees.

"Hell! The guard must have spotted the British! One of the sergeants scolded indignantly, and now they couldn't move and were going to leave.

"! The British are really persistent! ”

Tobias did not know which British unit was behind them, but they did not give up the pursuit even in this bad weather, and for the German commandos, the British pursuers behind them were simply a group of vicious hunters, and they had never encountered such a persistent pursuit by the British in the previous battles. Several times Tobias tried to find a place to stop the pursuers, but the thought of seeing so many overcrowded pursuers during the day made him abandon this plan, which would only put his troops in a deeper predicament, and the commandos were basically left with only a dozen rounds of ammunition left.

If the snow was heavier, Tobias even wanted his soldiers to hide under the snow to avoid their pursuers. But now, he and his soldiers could only continue to stagger forward, and the chase and the pursued were more like a marathon race of endurance.

"I wonder how the British caught up!" The two commandos at the back of the road were talking in whispers as they swept the footprints on the ground with tree branches, and they really didn't understand what the Englishmen were tracking down by virtue of the snow and darkness.

After a while, Lee. The crisp sound of the Enfield rifle came from the rear of the assault team, but it was still only a few lonely sounds, and after that there was no boundless wind.

Tobias felt that his breathing was getting heavier and heavier, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and walking in the snow was even more physically demanding, and the speed of the team was really slow compared to the daytime, but fortunately, the speed of the pursuers seemed to be much slower.

Where the commandos had just rested, a group of dark shadows stopped to search for something.

"They stayed here about 5 minutes ago!" A crouching shadow whispered.

The other sniffed carefully with his nose, "There is still a faint smell of fire in the air, and their last shot was done here!" ”

"They're the most cunning foxes we've ever seen, but we'll be able to capture them!" The one who spoke seemed to be the leader of this group, "Everyone rest for two minutes, Jiwen, you take two people to the front to be on guard!" ”

After the three black shadows quickly left, the remaining dozens of black shadows sat down in the same place where the Germans had sat before, and these people were all wearing thick cloaks, which also made them much less affected by the cold than the Germans.

"When the prey is exhausted, it is the weakest to resist! A shrewd hunter will always choose the weakest time to attack! The leader wrapped his cloak tightly and leaned against a large tree to enjoy a moment's rest. This group is not a regular soldier, they are group hunters, but their target is not ordinary beasts, but cunning gangsters.

The wind and snow do not stop in the Atlantic. The huge body of the battleship was still as steady as Mount Tai in the waves, and the flags on the mast were lined up in the wind.

"General, a telegram came from the Admiralty that at 6 o'clock this afternoon the British fleet had stopped about 200 nautical miles from the east coast of the United States, having been intercepted by an American patrol fleet. According to the information we have received, the U.S. Navy has detained more than half of the warships from the British fleet in order to guard against the Japanese fleet. However, the remaining British battleships have not left, and so far Britain and the United States are still holding urgent consultations on the 'Hill' incident! ”

In the captain's room of the "Elector", the officer on duty handed the emergency telegram to Vice Admiral Hipper, who was still a little sleepy-eyed while sitting on the bed. Although he was woken up in his sleep, Hipper did not have the slightest atmosphere. In his opinion, as long as the officer on duty considers an urgent military situation to be important, even if he is sleeping, he should immediately convey it.

Hipper picked up the watch next to his pillow, "Then we expect the encounter with the British fleet to be delayed by at least 10 hours!" In that case, there is a good chance that the battle will start on Christmas Day! ”

The officer on duty stood silently, he did not say anything.

"Is it still snowing?"

"Yes, it's going down big!"

"Alright! Order the other officers on duty to be on alert! Let's hope this snow will stop before Christmas, otherwise it will be very difficult for our reconnaissance planes to take off! Hippert looked at the porthole with some concern, and it was pitch black outside.

"Yes! Sorry to disturb your rest! Good night's sleep! The officer on duty saluted and withdrew.

In addition to the heavy snowfall, the Hipper's raiding fleet, which was preparing to engage the British special fleet, was also fretting the lights in Calais, France, and the smell of strong coffee filled the room. The generals gathered around a large 4 x 4 meter sand table, inside which was a miniature British Isles. Every time they saw this sand table, many generals had the urge to step on it, but as the scheduled time for landing in England got closer and closer, their wish would soon come true.

"If this heavy snowfall continues, our landing will have to be postponed! Personally, I feel that it is more appropriate to launch an attack after the beginning of spring! "Hindenburg's opinion represented a cautious moderate, who believed that the preparations for the landing had not been sufficiently sufficient so far, and that the generals would have preferred to postpone the attack for a few weeks.

"The British have stockpiled a lot of food, and if we fight with them, we will not take advantage of it. The commandos were able to bring some chaos and panic to the British, but the effect was limited after all! In order to maintain a huge wartime army, the country has to spend a staggering amount of money and resources every day! In a few weeks, the situation between the United States and Japan will be unpredictable, and we cannot pin our hopes on the Japanese. Perhaps it won't be long before the Americans will increase their aid to Britain! "The fragrant bitter coffee is very good for Chentian, and even at dawn he is still in good spirits. With only a few dozen hours left before the scheduled date of the attack, they now had to discuss overnight whether to attack on time.

Falkenhain silently stared at the yellow and green British Isles in the sandbox, which should have turned mostly white by now. When the emperor gave the order to "capture France in January and attack Britain in January and a half", it seems that the weather is also a very important factor. However, if they insisted on attacking, the cold would not be a barrier for the British, and for the attacking and defending armies, everyone also fought in heavy snow and low temperatures. Only when the stall is landing, the icy sea water will cause more trouble for the attackers.

"Americans, Japanese, not good people!"

Although what the veteran Kluke said is not too directly related to today's issue, the United States and Japan have an important role to play in Germany's future, and only these two non-Allied military powers have not lost their vitality in the war. For the 68-year-old Kluke, the Battle of England may be the last battle of his life, and he and General Bülow of the Second Army have decided to disarm and return to the field after the end of the war.

"Will our tanks and armored vehicles fail to start because of the cold?" Falkenhayin asked with concern, and everyone also turned their eyes to Chentian at once, the landing of no tank armored vehicles was worrying.

"At least the British winter hasn't gotten that cold yet!"

Chentian's answer reassured everyone. Poor Russians often find themselves unable to start their cars in winter, but Russia has the fewest number of cars of any of the great powers involved in the war. Tanks and armored vehicles have been in East Prussia for several winters, so Chentian is still relatively confident in their performance.

"If it is still snowing heavily on the 27th, I will advise His Majesty the Emperor to postpone the attack! I don't want to see my soldiers brave the snow and jump into the icy waters to make a landing, which will only unnecessarily increase our non-combat casualties! Either way, it's better for the soldiers to be prepared for freezing, and I recommend that the landing soldiers bring an extra blanket each! ”

After saying that, Chen Tian's eyes returned to the sand table, to the place where he and 200,000 German soldiers could have been buried, but this time he would make history there, and the army of the German Empire would be on British soil for the first time from there, which would be a great and epoch-making event.

"Well, let's decide! With bitter cold in winter, a rainy season in spring, and a hot summer, Germany could not wait until next autumn to attack! If the snow stops before midnight on the 26th, we will attack as originally planned! Falkenhein made the final decision that the British winter was far less terrible than the cold winter in the vast lands of Russia, and that the German army would not be the French army that invaded Russia under Napoleon.

When the sky is getting brighter, the wind and snow still have no intention of stopping. Chen Tian stretched out a comfortable waist to the white world outside the window, the snow scene on the French coast is beautiful, but the snow-covered Britain is what interests him the most.

On the other side of the strait, Tobias and his commandos could no longer walk, and just when they didn't even have the strength to catch their breath, the group of men in white cloaks finally appeared in front of them.

The leader pulled out the revolver very handsomely, "Don't move, we are the British Royal Special Police Force, you have been arrested!" ”

Tobias barely looked up at the man, he felt unlucky now. However, this was already too late for the British, the task of the commandos was basically completed, and all that remained was to wait for the main forces to land in England. More importantly, every mission of the commando team is arranged and led by the "British Sleepers", and ordinary commandos, including Tobias, do not know the whereabouts of other people, nor do they know where Cullen will bury their gold, and it is impossible to rely on these commandos to destroy the organization of the "British Sleepers".

After daybreak, the scenery of the vast sea is even more spectacular. Hipper, looking out into the wind and snow, straightened his navy hat with a short brim, and the cocked collar could not stop the oncoming cold, and the Imperial Vice Admiral stood silently on the bridge facing the west. In that direction, the British special fleet led by Churchill was preparing to set sail again.

"Good luck to you and your fleet, Mr. Churchill!" Before disembarking, Lieutenant General Conway sent his blessings to Churchill without smiling.

After overnight negotiations, the U.S. government succeeded in forcing the British government to make huge concessions, in addition to apologizing to the families of the victims and their families, the British government also paid a total of up to $10 million in compensation to the families of the 21 victims. Despite this, many American civilians braved the snow to protest and demonstrate in front of the White House, demanding that the government punish the murderers and cut off the arms deal with the British government, and "stay away from war" has become a Christmas slogan for many Americans.
