"Is it time?" German Embassy, Washington. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The German Prime Minister sat in his embassy office looking at his surroundings and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." The propaganda minister who was standing on the side nodded, and said cautiously, "The personnel of the embassy have been evacuated, and now the convoy is waiting outside for Your Excellency to go to the dock." ”

The German Prime Minister did not answer the words of the Minister of Propaganda, but sat in a leather seat with his back to the Minister of Propaganda and remained silent.

At this moment, the curtains of this office have been opened, and the German Prime Minister, whose hair has turned gray, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking. I don't know how long it took before the German prime minister let out a long sigh and whispered with his back to his propaganda minister, "Are we wrong?" ”

"Your Excellency......" The Propaganda Minister trembled slightly, opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Naturally, he knew what the German Prime Minister meant. Now, with the continuous defeat of the Allied forces, large areas of control have fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and many armies have been annihilated. In this case, there will naturally be many people thinking about what kind of result it would have been if they hadn't taken the initiative to attack Da Ming at the beginning?

It's just that this assumption is pointless.

In fact, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the situation at that time was not for the allies to avoid war without going to war. With Zhang Cheng's character and methods, once Zhang Cheng really takes power, then he will inevitably set off a war of active attack. Actually, it's something that can't be avoided. Therefore, it is pointless to discuss whether there will be no war or anything now.

It's just that in the current situation of all-round failure. This statement is nothing more than a means of comforting oneself and numbing oneself.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." The German Prime Minister was silent for a moment, then stood up from his seat with a wry smile. Turned around and came to the side of the propaganda minister, looked at him with complicated eyes, and said in a low voice, "Are all the things you have prepared ready?" ”

After looking around vigilantly, the propaganda minister nodded quietly and replied in a low voice, "Your Excellency, all arrangements have been made according to your orders. We have selected a group of good and loyal Aryans and arranged them secretly. And we've hidden about ten tons of gold secrets where no one knows about them. ”

"No one knows?" The German Prime Minister frowned and asked in a low voice, "How many people know about this?" How many are reliable? ”

"Your Excellency." The Minister of Propaganda knew what the Prime Minister meant, and he lowered his voice and said, "Forty-one people know or may know about it, including the transporters. However, except for the four executors of Fredet's plan, it was impossible for anyone else to say anything about it at this time. Even I don't know exactly where it is. ”

The so-called Fredet Plan was a preparatory plan made by the Germans in anticipation of the imminent total defeat of the Americans, in order to be able to restore the territory that had been occupied by the Ming Dynasty in the future. They selected a group of excellent, pure-blooded Aryans who were loyal to the German Empire and lurked as seeds. At the same time, a large amount of gold was prepared for them to fund future operations.

That's more than ten tons of gold. Gold was a truly valuable asset in this era of the gold standard. Owning gold is enough to have everything. At this time, the German Empire was not as good as it used to be, and it could only take out no more than ten tons of gold as a fund for the future recovery of its own country. The phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, that's what it says.

Not only Germany, but other aspiring government-in-exile began to make their own plans when the Americans began to lose their hand. Almost every government-in-exile has arranged for secret personnel and reserves to recover their country in the future. Despite the fact that the Germans did not have much gold in terms of national level, it was already the only one among the government-in-exile of all countries.

"Good." The German Prime Minister nodded heavily.

While everyone knows that this so-called arrangement makes little sense, the possibility of it being almost non-existent. It's just that for these people in exile, there is better hope than no hope. If you do it, there is still a glimmer of hope for the future, and if you don't do it, there will be no hope at all.

"Your Excellency, are we really going to continue to run away with the Americans?" After a while, the Minister of Propaganda couldn't help but say loudly: "The Americans are now just using our signboards. They are already unable to protect themselves. ”

"I know." The German Prime Minister, who was wearing a coat, paused slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "We have no choice." As a government-in-exile, we can only live one day at a time. As for what the Americans think, it doesn't matter what they do. Because we are all grasshoppers on a rope. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? ”

After a pause, the German Chancellor continued, "And we can't choose to surrender." Because surrender means that we will be judged, and we will not end well, so there is no hope for us in the current situation. The only way to pin the future on Fredet is to pin your hopes on the Philip plan. Now, we just have to do what we can do. As for what the ending will be, I have enough awareness now! ”

At this time, the steel torrent of the powerful Ming First and Second Armored Clusters had been rapidly moving north along the banks of the Potomac River, heading straight for Washington. Their goal was clear: to take over this important city and make a name for itself. At this time, the U.S. military had no strong forces around Washington that could resist the rapid assault of the Ming army.

Most of the elite forces defending Washington had been exhausted in the previous counterattack on Richmond. Most of the troops now surrounding Washington are the National Guard and some remnants of the troops who have retreated from the front lines after being defeated. The U.S. military's top brass did not believe that these forces, lacking heavy weapons and massive air support, would be able to hold Washington before the Ming Army's strong front.

For this reason, the top level of the United States chose to flee. Leave Washington and head north to a safer place for the time being. When they are gone, they will naturally take with them all the government-in-exile of each country. Although they are doomed to failure, they are unwilling to admit it and still want to maintain the most basic decency.

The top dignitaries of the United States had quietly left Washington at night on military planes just after the Battle of Richmond. The government-in-exile in Washington did not have such treatment, after all, the Ming army's air power was now gradually gaining the upper hand, and it was difficult for the precious transport planes to be used by these people who were not very important.

The U.S. Navy arranged for the personnel of the exiled governments of these countries to prepare for the sea to transport them away.

The government-in-exile members will travel by car from Washington to Annapolis. After boarding a fast transport ship arranged by the U.S. Navy, he set off from the bay and fled north to New York at night while the area around Newport News and Rofo was still in the hands of the U.S. military.

Governments in exile and U.S. troops did not think that New York would hold out, but at least it would be a brief recuperation.

As for why take the sea route and not leave by land. The main reason is that it is not safe on the ground at the moment. Although the Ming army was still far away, the Ming army's fighter units often attacked deep into the rear. Moreover, many areas that have been out of control have become a playground for violent gangs of all kinds. It's not safe at all on land.

At this moment, due to the large losses of the US military and the news of continuous defeats in various places, the US government's control over the local area has been weakened to a minimum level. A large number of local gangsters, desperate people, criminals who escaped from prisons, careerists who want to take advantage of the opportunity, and a large number of deserters with various weapons have become nightmares everywhere.

Numerous chaotic groups are wreaking havoc everywhere. There are countless violations of the law. Its ferocity and greed make people's scalps tingle. In many cases, the Ming army needed more time and energy to deal with these violent groups than it did to deal with the U.S. military.

A place where law and order have been deprived is terrifying. Because it is almost impossible for ordinary civilians to survive in this environment. Countless locals fled to escape these violent groups. And the actions of these violent groups were even more devastating to the Ming army than those of the regular American army.

Therefore, the Ming army carried out large-scale purge operations almost every time it occupied a place under the condition of continuous advance. Clean up all these violent groups. Because these violent groups have done great damage to the interests of the Ming Dynasty.

As time went on, the Ming army spent more and more time and energy on these violent groups. However, the results achieved are also very good.

After all, these violent groups, which show off their might and do almost bad things against ordinary people, are nothing in front of the real regular army. Their equipment, training, organization and nothing are worth mentioning. As for the brutality and bravery that he is proud of, he is not even a fart in the eyes of those Ming troops who came down from the battlefield.

Because the Ming army wanted to clean up those violent groups, its recommendation speed in various places was slowed down. This gave the government-in-exile a chance to escape. They managed to escape aboard a U.S. Navy transport ship and made a thrilling journey north through the bay along New Jersey, eventually arriving in New York two days later.

They are safe for the time being. (To be continued.) )
