Chapter 469: Churchill without a beard
Saving people is principled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If you put your life on the line to save people, is it worth it? Although he has the aura of a hero and is worshiped by thousands of people, what is the use?
Ike was still doing his best to persuade him that it was time to let go and leave these people to fend for themselves.
As the captain of the ship, Prion is certainly not the kind of person who is stubborn, and he knows that his own side will be in danger now.
But this strengthened his judgment even more that these people are very useful!
As a warrior, you just need to faithfully carry out orders, but as a commander, a high-ranking commander with foresight, you must have a strategic level of vision!
The war in Europe has begun again, and this war, which is related to the future fate of Germany, can only succeed, not fail!
And will Germany succeed? An important aspect of this is whether the United States is at war! The United States, far from Europe, is geographically located to give Americans a unique sense of superiority.
If the United States constantly supported Britain behind the scenes, it would undoubtedly be harmful to Germany's conquest of Britain.
The United States, having already made a statement, does not participate in the affairs of the Old Continent, but now, these people, must be secretly helping the British, and sending these people back to Germany in good condition, the FΓΌhrer must be useful!
Now, these people are precious, and they are a favorable proof that the United States has abandoned its commitment and secretly intervened in Europe, and if these people were to make it public, the United States would definitely be extremely opposed to this despicable act of the government!
So, be sure to send these people back!
"No, we can't give up." "We have to bring these people back to Germany intact," Prien said. β
Ike stomped his foot twice, not knowing what to say, and then, he heard Prien say to the radioman, "Adjust the radio to the international public channel, clear code." β
The radioman carried out the order, Prion put on his headphones, and he spoke in fluent English to the sound of the stinging radio.
"British reconnaissance aircraft, British reconnaissance aircraft, attention, this is a German submarine, we are now on a humanitarian rescue mission, we are on a humanitarian rescue mission, we have searched for some British survivors at sea and are preparing to send them to safety, please abide by international conventions."
In the Anson patrol plane overhead, the captain, Sergeant Hancock, received this communication, he listened to the sound in the headset and knew that what the Germans said should be true.
The submarine was in a floating state, even if its own patrol plane found it, it did not dive, and at the same time, on the deck of the submarine, there were many people, and there was a rescue boat towing behind it.
This is not a German submarine in combat condition, it is true that it is carrying out humanitarian rescue, but ...
He knew that his torpedo plane, which was already on its way, would arrive in an hour, and now, should he abandon this attack?
"Ask your superiors." Hancock said to the radioman on his plane: "Tell them that this German submarine is being rescued." β
Although the Germans were very hateful, this submarine did rescue their own crew!
Hancock's Anson patrol plane, sending a message, was quickly transmitted back to Great Britain, and the news was quickly reported, and eventually, it reached the front of Churchill.
Chewill's brow furrowed as he sipped his cigar, and in front of him was the head of MI5, Captain Kyle.
"The Germans, attacking in Belgium and the Netherlands, were feints, and their real goal was to penetrate the Ardennes Forest?" Churchill knew that the situation was quite serious, and a look at the map showed that the German troops coming out of the Ardennes Forest were just able to go around the back of their own side and completely encircle their own side.
There, the entire British Expeditionary Force, the main force of the French army!
"Yes, we have already confirmed that interspersed with the Ardennes Forest is the German Waffen-SS Panzer Division, led by General Guderian, who is most trusted by Shirek." Captain Kyle said.
"That is to say, the battle plan of the Germans that we intercepted before, the yellow plan, was completely wrong, it was the Germans who deliberately confused us and transferred our troops to the north of France, but they came out from the east, our plan D, it was carried out according to the wrong plan of the Germans, Captain Kyle, our intelligence system, it really disappoints me!"
Churchill was quite disappointed in Captain Kyle, and Captain Kyle was directly responsible for his own mistake this time!
If the expeditionary force is destroyed, Britain will be finished!
Captain Kyle didn't say anything, he knew that Churchill had always looked down on him badly, and this time, he was indeed a mistake, but, as a senior commander, didn't he have his own judgment?
Churchill smoked his cigar and looked at the map fixedly: "Actually, in the direction of Belgium and Holland, the Germans cannot be regarded as a feint, even if we transfer the main force of the army, we will not be able to stop the Germans, it seems that we must prepare for the worst." β
Churchill saw very well that if there was only a war in the direction of Belgium and the Netherlands, his side could resist desperately, but now the situation has been completely reversed.
That fool of Ganmalin, who does not have a single reserve left, how can he stop the main German force coming out of the Ardennes Forest?
Now, the main thing is not how to achieve victory, but how to preserve your own army.
Don't play with the French anymore, now, the British expeditionary force must be quickly withdrawn and withdrawn to Great Britain, and those who remain on French territory are the main forces of Britain!
If it is consumed in France, the situation in England will be in trouble!
This thought became stronger and stronger in his heart, although this is not enough for France, but who made Gammelin so mentally retarded? Falling into the trap of the Germans, at this time, you can only take care of yourself.
Churchill's hand, touching his mouth, these days, he didn't even have time to shave, beard stubble, should have grown a lot, when he touched it a few days ago, there was still a little prickly hand.
However, when he touched it again today, he felt extremely smooth, and he suddenly wondered in his heart, what was going on? What about your own beard?
I didn't have time to think about anything more, but I saw the Chief of Staff of the Navy Andrew hurriedly walk in and said to him: "Prime Minister, our maritime reconnaissance plane has found the crew of our wrecked Navasota." β
Churchill had asked about the Navasota, and he was more concerned, and now, hearing the news, he turned his mind away from the European battlefield and asked, "Where?" Are they still alive? β
"On a German submarine, the submarine is now floating and is heading northeast, our reconnaissance planes, all the time tracking, torpedo planes are on the way." Andrew said.
On the submarines of the Germans! Hearing the news, Captain Kyle was also shocked, the people on the ship, there were MI5, and there were many soldiers from the United States, and now, they are actually in the hands of the Germans!
"The submarine, saying they're on a humanitarian rescue mission." Andrew continued: "Now, what do we do? β
After taking two puffs of his cigar, Churchill said firmly, "Sink it!" Immediately, immediately! β
