"Bump!" A loud bang interrupted the words of the mighty emperor. Everyone in www.biquge.info room looked at the German Prime Minister. The emaciated German chancellor slammed his fist on the table, his eyes flashing with a shuddering light: "Everything in the Reich is now bought back by the German people with their lives and blood!" And you're just enjoying it! ”

Taken by the German Prime Minister's fierce momentum, the young emperor tried with all his might to maintain his figure and bearing. It's a pity that as a puppet, he can't show any momentum at this time anyway.

Seeing the young emperor sitting back in his chair in a gloomy manner, many of the German high-level people on the side were secretly shaking their heads slightly. The royal family is in complete decline.

"His Majesty the Emperor will stay in Berlin and hold on to the capital, and you can stay as long as you wish." The German Prime Minister looked at the incompetent Emperor again, then turned his head and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, temporary defeat is not the end!" We must not give up hope. Now I order the government to move to Cologne, collect precious metals and technical data from all over the place, and gather all the outstanding scientists for the Navy to send them to the United States! ”

After a pause, the German chancellor continued: "If the country falls, the government will move to London and form a government-in-exile." If the British are also finished, then we will go to the United States! Keep the fight going no matter what! As long as we have enough faith and perseverance, then we will eventually wait for the glory of the final victory! ”

As he left the conference room, the German Prime Minister looked back at His Majesty the Emperor who was sitting in his chair one last time, and a subtle sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This fool with a stinky skin actually wants to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty in peace talks, so as to take away the country's rights from his own hands. But he is a big fool who doesn't know anything at all, and this immature newcomer is just looking for death if he wants to complete this level of technical operation.

The German government began a mass evacuation of Berlin, but they desperately turned on the propaganda system to call on all Germans to stand up against the invaders. Precious metals and vital supplies were taken from the banks of Berlin, and many of the wealthy families would have been unlucky if they had not left, and the army would storm them and scrape away everything they found.

Even the property of the German royal family was not spared. The palace and various important royal estates were also swept away. The entire royal family and aristocracy suffered heavy losses.

And the main reason why the German prime minister wanted to do this was that he knew very well in his heart that neither Germany nor the entire Europa continent could stop the offensive of the Ming army. Rather than eventually all these things fall into the hands of the Ming Dynasty and become the spoils of the victors, it is better that all of them will be taken away by the government as activity funds.

In this world, you need money to do everything. As a government-in-exile, the place where the money was spent was really gone. If they don't have enough funds in their hands, if they can really fight back in the future, what will they do? There is no point in issuing money on credit, and the only things that can come in handy at this time are gold and valuables.

Numerous citizens of Berlin were mobilized, and militias were formed and thrown into the city's defenses. Hundreds of thousands of Germans were also conscripted as laborers to build various fortifications around and within Berlin.

By this time, the rich and powerful had fled the country, and those who remained were poor citizens who had no way out. Of course, there must be many enthusiastic people who are encouraged by the government's propaganda.

It's just that no matter how hard these people try, their ultimate fate has long been doomed.

On the night of June 28, a long convoy slowly drove up the bridge over the Havre River, escorted by a large number of elite German troops. The convoy was staffed by German government officials and their families. They were fleeing from a city that was about to be completely surrounded by the Ming army.

"I'll be back!" The German-eyed Chancellor took one last deep look at the bright city of Berlin, which was burning with flames and reflected in the billowing smoke and firelight. I swore in my heart that he would come back no matter what!

More than a dozen hours later, dozens of armored vehicles of an armored unit of the Ming Army drove onto the bridge. The last passage through the city to the heart of Germany in the west was cut off. Twenty-four hours later, two armoured armoured armoured forces met at Oranienburg, northwest of Berlin, thus encircling Berlin, the capital of the German Empire.

In fact, the main German forces at this time were not in and around Berlin. After all, after the decision to abandon Berlin, the main forces of the German army, especially those elite units, have been transferred to other places.

At this time, although there were a lot of German troops stationed in Berlin, the German Propaganda Department also propagated a lot. But in reality most of the German army was old, sick, and militia, and the defenders were desperately lacking in heavy firepower. Such a resistance force could not have said that it would be impossible to hold Berlin under the attack of the Ming army. The only thing they could do was to delay the fall of the city as long as possible.

After breaking through Prague, the Ming army, which had gradually begun to fight smoothly, rapidly advanced through German territory, crushing the resistance of one German army after another. Originally, the Ming army did use Berlin as the main point of attack. However, Zhang Cheng is not stupid, the high-level moles that Daming bought and cultivated in Germany have already passed on the real situation in Berlin at this time.

For Zhang Cheng, his attitude towards war is to give priority to the annihilation of the enemy's living forces, rather than to compete for the gains and losses of one city and one pool. After learning that most of the elite German troops originally stationed in the Berlin area had been transferred, Zhang Cheng immediately changed his plan to gather superior forces to storm Berlin.

Now Berlin has become meat on the chopping block, and you can eat it whenever you want, and you don't have to be too anxious. It was the elite units of the German army that were the main danger of the Ming army, and they retreated all the way to the west of Germany, as if they wanted to retreat all the way to the other side of the Rhine.

Zhang Cheng said that he was unwilling to let these elite German officers and soldiers flee to the wide and difficult river to continue the resistance, and he had already suffered on the banks of the Oder River.

Under Zhang Cheng's orders, the main forces of the Ming army began to pursue the fleeing German troops with all their might. At the same time, the Ming Army Aviation also exerted its strength in the Europa region to the extreme, and the Ming Army Aviation even temporarily stopped the bombing campaign against France and concentrated its forces on attacking the German army. In particular, the roads and bridges on the road that the Germans had to pass through were all destroyed, which greatly delayed the retreat of the German army.

The Ming army was a fully mechanized army, and all the troops were wheels. And the German army was mostly transported by horse-drawn carriages. Although they are in their own country, although the rail and road network in Germany itself is exceptionally well developed. However, after the fierce bombing of the strategic bomber units of the Ming Army Aviation in the past few days, the railway and road networks that the Germans were proud of have long been greatly paralyzed.

After the Ming army saw through the Germans' strategy of using Berlin to attract their attention, the German army on the way back was quickly overtaken by numerous Ming troops. From Hamburg to Hannover, from Leipzig to Nuremberg, from Munich to Stuttgart. A large number of German troops were pursued by the Ming army on the way to the Rhine and Danube in the west, and had no choice but to resist on the spot. And stopping to resist means giving up the retreat, and can only be surrounded and eliminated after being caught up by the follow-up troops of the Ming army.

While the main forces of the Ming army were in full pursuit of the German troops, the task of besieging Berlin fell on the armies of the vassal states and the troops recruited by the Ming army from various colonies. Berlin was the capital of the Germans, a strong force in the anti-Ming coalition, and the political and propaganda significance of the capture was very important.

Zhang Cheng mobilized the main force of the Ming army to pursue the German troops, and the attack on Berlin was not just put away. Fortunately, the strength of the Ming army was strong, and they had a strong military force that could conduct multiple military operations at the same time.

The siege corps, consisting of about 150,000 Korean troops and about 100,000 Vietnamese troops, as well as more than 30 colonial divisions and more than 10 elite divisions of the Ming Dynasty, officially launched a fierce attack on Berlin on 30 June.

These colonial units within the Ming army came from a variety of places. There were the African Colonial Corps, who were swarthy and strong, and came from all over Africa. There are Indian troops with cloth towels wrapped around their heads and refuse to fight without curry at every meal. There were Arab armies from the desert world, as well as armies from Australia, which the Ming Dynasty used to exile many criminals, and even a small number of troops from the 11th District, which had just become the Ming colony.

The composition of these armies is diverse, but the vast majority of them are poor people who cannot survive. After all, if you don't mix well in the colony, then being a soldier is indeed a very good choice. Just like when Zhang Cheng first came to this era, he also relied on being a soldier to not be starved to death.

Many of the officers and soldiers in these colonies were descendants of the Ming colonists, but many more were local natives. These people's sense of belonging and honor to the Ming Dynasty is not high. It's a colony after all, can you expect them to have any too strong loyalty to the Ming Dynasty?

The officers and men of these colonial armies joined the army mainly for money. After all, Daming is a real money society. It's hard to have a good life without money in this day and age. Committing crimes for money is not a big deal, and it's no surprise to join the military. (To be continued.) )
