Chapter 820: The Fall of the Empire

London, War Office.

Now that the fighting in all of London is almost over, this is the only place left. As the hiding place of War Secretary Richard Haldan, thousands of elite troops have been assembled throughout the War Department, and they continue to resist stubbornly.

The Germans sent a regiment of troops and surrounded the entire War Department. However, with the help of buildings, the British army blocked it with machine gun fire, and the Germans organized several attacks in a row, but they were unsuccessful. Outside the positions of the British troops, quite a few corpses have been left.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, several armored vehicles drove to a short distance from the battlefield. Field Marshal von Falkenhein and the commanders of a corps disembarked from the armored vehicles.

Hearing the deafening sound of gunfire in the distance, Marshal von Falkenhein's brow couldn't help but furrow. If the battle here is not over, then it does not mean that the entire London campaign is over.

"Why haven't you finished the fight yet?" Marshal von Falkenhein asked.

"Your Excellency, the firepower of the British, coupled with the fact that they have built strong fortifications, and the terrain restricts the deployment of our forces, so they have not yet been taken. But don't worry, marshal, we'll conquer this place before sunset today! A major general reassured the division commander.

"Have you ever tried to persuade you to surrender?" Admiral Crook asked.

"General, we've already tried. However, those British people do not eat oil and salt. Even at this point, they still insisted on refusing to surrender. The division commander of the major general said.

"I didn't expect that at this juncture, there are still Britons so brave!" Admiral Birlow sighed.

The other generals all nodded their heads again and again. It is true that in this war, the British did not do very well. It can even be described as bad. On the battlefield, they were no match for the German army at all, and they could be described as vulnerable. There are millions of troops in the air, and the equipment is not too bad. However, it was quickly defeated under the onslaught of more than a million German troops. But as long as their will to fight was a little stronger, even if the Germans wanted to win the final victory, it would not be so easy.

Therefore, the performance of this remaining British army stationed in the War Department is impressive. Now the whole of London has fallen into the hands of the Germans, and the British army in the city has been basically wiped out. Their insistence is completely meaningless. In such a situation, they could have surrendered to the Germans and thus saved their lives. But they still didn't. You can see how brave they are.

"Send someone to try it again! If they don't surrender, then arrange for the Army Air Corps to raze this place to the ground with heavy aerial bombs! Marshal von Falkenhein said.

Although he hated and admired these Englishmen, he didn't want to waste any more time.

"Yes, Your Excellency Marshal!" The division commander of the major general replied.

A few minutes later, a German officer, waving a white flag, entered the British War Office and informed the British of the German request.

At this moment, Richard Hardan is still staying in his office in the basement.

"Your Excellency, the Germans have come again to persuade us to surrender, and they are demanding that we surrender. Otherwise, they won't be left alone. The secretary reported to Richard Hardan.

Richard Hardan sighed, he also knew that the battle had been lost and Britain was finished.

"Let the soldiers choose for themselves!" Richard Hardan said.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The secretary nodded.

In the end, none of the British troops stationed here chose to surrender, and they were willing to continue fighting for their honor.

An hour later, the Germans dispatched army aviation. 12 H1 bombers, carrying heavy aerial bombs weighing up to 500 kilograms, bombed the British War Office.

These heavy bombs easily penetrated the buildings of the War Department. Half of the War Department building was destroyed in the previous battle. The remnants were also blown up by the great power of the aerial bomb.

Almost all of the British soldiers stationed here were killed in the violent explosion, and very few were spared. However, the Germans then conducted a carpet search of the place. The British soldiers, who were unwilling to surrender, were all killed.

As for Richard Hardan, when he was found, he was already a cold corpse. However, he was not killed by the explosion, but committed suicide by poisoning himself. Before the German bombing began, he ended his life with poison. Maybe he didn't want to die at the hands of the Germans, and even if he did, he wanted to die at his own hands!

It was only after the battle here was over that Field Marshal von Falkenhein had a report to Berlin that the war in London was over.

Liverpool, inside the harbor, a submarine is moored on the pier. Several people were smoking cigarettes on the dock. The most central one is Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the British Empire.

As Prime Minister of the British Empire, Churchill was the last high-ranking official to leave Britain. Before him, King George V and other senior cabinet officials had already left England for Canada.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the time is almost up, if we don't leave, I'm afraid it'll be too late." A naval officer was somewhat worried.

During this time, the Germans intensified their search for the British near the sea. Even if you want to escape from a submarine, it will be very difficult.

"Wait a little longer!" Churchill shook his head.

The officer wanted to say something and stopped, but there was nothing he could do.

After a while, the secretary ran over out of breath.

"Your Excellency, the battle in London is over. The Germans already had complete control over all of London. Our army in London was either wiped out by the Germans or surrendered to them. The secretary reported.

Churchill closed his eyes in pain. Although he had long expected such an outcome, he still did not expect that the British Empire would fall so quickly.

"What about Your Excellency the Minister of War?" Churchill asked.

"Your Excellency the War Secretary committed suicide before the fall of London."

Churchill nodded, he didn't expect Richard Hardan to be so strong. However, he admired Richard Hardan very much. If it were him, he would have done the same.

"Let's go!" Churchill threw away the cigarette butt in his hand. Now that London has fallen, the end of the entire British Empire is imminent. There was no need for him to stay any longer. Going to Canada and leading the resurgence of the British Empire was all that mattered. He believed that although they had failed this time, they would definitely have a day of revenge in the future.
