"Who are you?" The guards and police who were running fast in the palace alerted the guards, who had been ordered to hide in the shadows of the palace to rush out of their hiding places in a vain attempt to stop the crazy companions. But they were wrong, they did a wrong thing that they would regret for the rest of their lives, they forgot the gun in their hands and stopped these crazy companions with their arms. When they stopped their companions, they were greeted by sharp daggers and crossbow arrows fired in their faces, and it was only then that they realized that the men in the uniforms of the royal guards and the British army were not their companions.

The smell of blood in Buckingham Palace grew stronger, and soon the dead guards were dragged by the SS soldiers who arrived after them and piled up at the main entrance of the palace to set up temporary bunkers for their comrades who were holding on there. The tide of SS soldiers from street corners entered Buckingham Palace along the main entrance of the palace, and heavily armed soldiers marched up the stairs to the top of the building to set up defensive positions, while the SS soldiers with submachine guns divided into four teams to inspect all the rooms in Buckingham Palace, and gathered those scattered throughout Buckingham Palace in the Royal Ballroom on the west side of the palace.

The Royal Ballroom, which was crowded with British aristocrats and British politicians, suddenly rang out with the sound of submachine gun fire, a row of bullet holes appeared in the oak wall, and hundreds of people wearing German SS uniforms and German steel helmets appeared at the door of the ballroom, "Hello everyone, we are German SS commandos, you are now our prisoners, please stand still and don't move, otherwise you will lose your lives" Hoffmann, who took off his steel helmet, showed his blonde hair, Hoffmann's standard Aryan appearance showed that what he had just said was not a joke, and that they were indeed German soldiers.

"God, how can this be?" George VI, who was protected by everyone, trembled his lips, and looked at these SS soldiers who suddenly appeared in the palace in disbelief, Buckingham Palace, which was guarded by a large number of military police and royal guards, was broken through by the Germans in this way, and he, the current king of England, actually became a prisoner of the Germans, George VI's eyes were full of shock.

"Your Majesty, please restrain your guests, my soldiers are not good at dealing with the British, and I don't think Your Majesty would like to see a tragedy happen in your palace," Hoffmann walked up to George VI after several army generals wearing insignia of senior officer rank were knocked down with the butts of their SS soldiers one after another. The occupation of Buckingham Palace was only to attract the attention of the British army and force the British army to make concessions and compromises on the frontal battlefield, not to humiliate the British royal family.

Hoffman, who came from a military family, would never allow his men to shoot these Englishmen at will, especially before receiving Zhao Zhi's follow-up orders, George VI and these British dignitaries were the capital they could rely on. There were more than 2,000 SS soldiers who followed Hoffmann into Buckingham Palace, and Hoffmann still wanted to lead his men back to Berlin alive, just trying to ruin everyone's retreat as soon as possible, which was also something Hoffman did not want to see.

As the SS soldiers searched further, the people scattered throughout the palace were pulled out one by one, and in front of the heavily armed SS soldiers, the royal servants who were only carrying silver candlesticks were clearly no match for them, and after some senseless resistance, these people were knocked unconscious and dragged to the royal ballroom, where the guests were gathered. "Sir, the palace has been cleaned up, all the people are concentrated on the west side of the palace, those with status are all detained in the royal ballroom, and my people have controlled the situation" Hoffman used a walkie-talkie to report the information to Zhao Zhi outside the palace after receiving the report from his subordinates.

Zhao Zhiyi, who received Hoffman's report, waved his hand, and the convoy assembled in the alley pushed away those obstacles and drove towards the palace. Zhao Zhi's convoy was not empty, the truck painted with the Red Cross logo was full of electrically detonated and incendiary bombs, as well as a large number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars, and in order to meet the British attack, Zhao Zhi needed to turn Buckingham Palace into a fortress, or at least make the British look like a fortress. The convoy that ran out of the alley crossed the square and went straight to the main entrance of the palace, and there were teams of lurkers along the way, and the SS soldiers who were holding the main gate had already received orders, and as soon as the convoy reached the door, the guys in royal guard uniforms pushed open the gate.

More than a dozen military trucks filled the open space in front of the palace, and Hoffman, who was waiting in front of the door, greeted him with a team of soldiers, and whispered to Zhao Zhi about the current layout in the palace, "According to your orders, I have searched all the rooms in the palace, especially in the cellar, and I really found a tunnel, His Majesty said that the tunnel can lead all the way to the Thames" Hoffman's face showed uncontrollable joy, with this tunnel, He was not afraid that the British would break through the defense line and put himself in a desperate situation after entering the palace.

"Oh" Zhao Zhi was happy, what was authentic was just his own speculation, just like Zhao Zhi saw in the Lockman family's manor, according to the usual cunning and precautions of the British, it was impossible for them not to leave a way out in their castle, and the result was really right. "Did you send someone to check in the tunnels?" Zhao Zhi's current consideration is not to use that tunnel to escape, but to prevent the British from entering the palace through that tunnel.

"Not yet, my people are still a little nervous about controlling the palace, and they really can't spare people to enter the tunnel, but the door of the tunnel has been sealed by me" Hoffman told Zhao Zhi that he had set up a large number of explosives at the exit of the tunnel, as long as the British dared to use the tunnel to raid the palace, the explosives he left behind were enough to kill them a dozen times.

"Hurry up and unload the truck, I have brought you 100,000 rounds of submachine gun ammunition, 300,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 200,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition, 500 Mauser sniper rifles and 200 P38 submachine guns with Salen and them, as well as a batch of light and heavy machine guns and grenades. Before we leave, my men will send you a few more bazookas, but the bazooka doesn't have a lot of ammunition, only 100 rounds, you have to save some money" The truck that followed Zhao Zhi into the palace was loaded with ammunition, which was all the supplies that Zhao Zhi had brought to London through the smuggling channels of the Krim gangs.

"Great, but we also got a batch of weapons and ammunition through other channels, but they are all British weapons, which are not as good as our Germany, but we still have a batch of explosives and pistols" Hoffman showed Zhao Zhi the British submachine gun he was carrying. Hoffman, who entered London in advance with the lurkers, dressed in the cloak of the Krem gangster, has been collecting weapons and ammunition, and wants to hold Buckingham Palace in the hands of the British army who are pressed by the army, and it is impossible to do without weapons, obviously Hoffman has long thought of this.

"Well done" Zhao Zhi patted Hoffman on the shoulder and led his mercenaries into the palace, where Zhao Zhi and the mercenaries were stunned by the magnificent decorations and arrangements in the palace. In his previous life, Zhao Zhi came to Buckingham Palace, but it was under the guidance of a tour guide, and the places he visited were only a few open places, where he would be treated like this. I went up the stairs to the fourth floor. Starting from the first room, Zhao Zhi pointed at the things he looked at and liked, and followed his mercenaries to pack and move away directly, anyway, he brought a lot of trucks, and Zhao Zhi was ready to fill those trucks outside.

The waiting time before the start of the operation was the slowest, and when it really started to loot the palace, the time passed extremely fast, and when Zhao Zhi and the mercenaries only searched to the second floor, there was only less than an hour left before dawn. "Withdraw, go outside" According to the agreement with the German High Command, it is not Zhao Zhi's business to control the palace by holding hostages, there is a radio connection between the German High Command and Hoffmann, and after Zhao Zhi leaves weapons and equipment, other things have nothing to do with him.

More than a dozen trucks loaded with palace belongings were quietly parked in the square, and in a short time, several more trucks drove from a distance, which were the food supplies that Zhao Zhi had equipped for the SS in the palace. The capture of the British palace was no small matter, and in order to force the British to make a compromise according to the ideas of the German high command, sufficient time was essential, and the confrontation with the supporting army would be what Hoffman and his team would have to face next, and sufficient food and supplies would be a good boost to the morale of the soldiers.

"Hoffman, you must remember that you are only soldiers who follow orders, not butchers and executioners, but don't blindly sympathize with the British, you must know that they are still fighting with your comrades on the Western Front, and there are a large number of German soldiers killed and wounded every day, so you must know what you are doing, and you must know why you came to England" Zhao Zhilin patted Hoffman heavily when he got into the car. Zhao Zhi hoped that Hoffman would stay in the palace until the day the British announced their surrender, and as long as the royals and politicians were alive, Hoffman would be the safest person in the world.

"Pump out the gasoline from all the cars in the square, then close the main entrance, and all the people will withdraw to the palace, and we will wait for the British to come to the door themselves" Looking at the distant convoy, Hoffman gave the order in an orderly manner, his eyes flashing with a thick insistence. What Zhao Zhi said when he left, Hoffmann understood, he wanted to think about his soldiers, but he was also an SS officer, for the advance of the German Empire, he would rather regard himself as a dead soldier, a dead soldier who dared to sacrifice himself for the German Empire.
