Chapter 41: Departure

The Germans made a move on the British mainland, just when Britain sent a large number of troops into Belgium and France to fight with the German army, the Germans first captured Buckingham Palace by surprise, and then sent a number of small troops to attack the military airfields in Britain frantically, making the former empire of the sun never set a lot of rumors, and now tanks under the banner of the German army appeared in the coastal cities of Britain again, and a large number of German troops landed in Portsmouth and were marching all the way to London, and there was a great momentum to take all the southeast seaports in Britain in one fell swoop.

The British panicked, and the devil knew where these German troops and tanks that appeared on the British mainland came from, but the battle reports sent from the coastal areas were never fake, and when the small force of the Germans turned Britain upside down, the German armored troops that suddenly landed on the coast became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The troops who had been urgently transferred to London returned to their respective defense areas by the same route, and they were strictly ordered to stop the Germans before the Germans attacked the southern ports, and a large number of civilians were conscripted to distribute weapons, and their only mission was to stop the German advance with their own lives.

If when Buckingham Palace first fell into the hands of the Germans, the British were only in disbelief and deep fear when the Tiger tank with the German logo drove out of the Portsmouth shipyard. The Germans actually landed in Britain and brought tanks, looking at the strong figure of the Tiger tank, the British troops who rushed to intercept it were simply vulnerable. The Polish Legion, mobilized from eastern France, marched all the way up, pursuing the scattered British troops and sweeping everything, and the road to northern Britain was once again crowded with fleeing British refugees.

The capture of Buckingham Palace by the German SS was only a matter for the British, but now things have changed, and the landing of the Germans at Portsmouth has become the deepest concern of the Coalition forces. Once Britain draws troops from the front line to defend its homeland, the confrontation situation that the coalition forces have easily formed with the German army will collapse in an instant, and the German army opposing them will take advantage of the emptiness of the coalition defense line to attack on a large scale, and the French army and Belgium, which are struggling to support it, will not be able to stop the German attack at all.

The situation was so good that the Italian army, which was originally only cooperating with the battle, saw huge benefits, and the Italian soldiers, who had always been slow and half-beats, suddenly burst into combat strength, and with the cooperation of the German armored forces, they stubbornly withstood the counterattack of the coalition forces, and stabilized the blank areas after the Polish regiments were transferred. If they had not dispersed the forces of the Allied forces to lengthen their fronts, as the German High Command had intended, I was afraid that these Italian soldiers would have penetrated the Allied defenses and directly taken port cities like Marseille into their pockets.

In addition to the 40,000 Polish regiments and two elite German troops of more than 10,000 people, the German troops with a total strength of more than 60,000 troops were divided into two roads along Portsmouth, one way straight into London to join the 10,000 German troops lurking in the suburbs of London in the early stage to besiege London, and the other way to attack other cities on the left in a radial shape along Portsmouth, they wanted to build Portsmouth into a landing ground for German troops, once the northeast of France was controlled by Italy, a large number of German troops going south would land here in Britain, In fact, a large number of troops from within Germany were moving south.

On the huge sand table in the operational conference room of the German High Command, the small black flag representing the German army is changing its position every day, and the small tricolor flag representing the coalition army is also constantly changing in reverse, except that the former is attacking, while the latter is constantly shrinking and retreating. The war has continued until now, Luxembourg has been completely occupied by the German army, Belgium is already surviving, and the Dutch government has long since withdrawn from the mainland.

If the English Channel was the guarantee of the coalition forces, then it was not, and at the instigation of Zhao Zhi, Hitler signed an order to send all German submarines to the English Channel. In the German submarine commander Karl? Under Dönitz's command, a large number of German submarines gathered together to use wolf pack tactics to turn the entire English Channel into their hunting grounds, and those ships full of soldiers and military supplies were their prey, and in just half a month, the ships serving the coalition forces lost as much as forty percent, including two destroyers of the British Navy.

When Britain was attacked by the German army, the United States, which had been watching coldly, thought that France was finished, and after the German submarine blocked the strait, the current France was only relying on a large number of coalition troops to support it, and if it did not get the support of external forces, it would be difficult for France to hold on, and perhaps surrendering to the German army would be a better ending. The Soviet Union was also shocked by the powerful offensive and ingenious layout of the German army, the offensive launched by the Germans was only more than 4 months, and it had already taken nearly a quarter of the territory of several countries in Eastern Europe and France, and now it actually divided its troops to land in Britain, it seems that the pace of targeting Germany should be slightly accelerated, otherwise after the Germans take France and Britain, the strong Germany will turn around and deal with itself.

Hitler knew the ambitions of the Soviets for a long time, and as early as when Zhao Zhi first arrived in Germany, he carefully analyzed for Hitler the problems that the world would face, including the drawbacks of Germany's upcoming two-headed war. Before Germany pacified Britain and France, Germany did not have the strength to divide its forces to attack the Soviet Union, and it was better to show goodwill to the Soviet Union now than to fight to the death at that time. After stabilizing the territory of the occupied area, gathering all the forces to take the Soviet Union in one fell swoop, and fighting the snake does not die but suffers from it, Zhao Zhi repeatedly told Hitler many times, which is why Hitler has been making concessions to the Soviets on the territory of Poland, and what Germany needs most now is time.

The game of chess that Zhao Zhi had been planning was finally alive, and now France is still struggling to support, and the fall of Belgium and the Netherlands is only a matter of time, once these two countries become German occupation zones, France, which has been blocked in the strait, will lose contact with Britain. France, having lost its support, will become the target of a thunderous blow from the Germans, and a large number of German troops assembled in the war zone will storm the Allied-controlled areas with a thunderous force, tearing apart everything that stands in their way. Once France chose to surrender, then the empire on which the sun never set would be the only country to fight against Germany, and the British, who had lost their southern seaports and a large number of aircraft on their homeland, could only watch as German planes bombed them, and watched a large number of German troops land in the south and were helpless.

"Leave all the materials we have hoarded to them, these food and oil, we can't use them for the time being" Looking at the large number of canned food and oil hoarded in the shipyard, Zhao Zhi felt a headache, these materials were all purchased by Klim from the British with counterfeit money, Zhao Zhi only had the last fleet left in his hand, a total of only 6 ships, so many supplies really couldn't be taken away, so it was simply cheaper for these German troops who had just landed.

Zhao Zhi, who had long been disoriented, simply ignored the retention of the SS commander, and Rowling was still waiting for him to go to the Suez Canal to meet, and Zhao Zhi, who had repeatedly planned in his heart, could not immediately rush to Burma, where there were more than a million Jews, and they would be the final bargaining chip for Zhao Zhi to complete the plan. The 20 Tiger tanks that Hitler promised to Zhao Zhi were transferred to the ship, and there were also a large number of German-style ordnance on board with the German landing force, including the improved Bazooka that had just rolled off the assembly line.

To go or to stay, Zhao Zhi asked himself more than once in his heart, the Germans are indeed strong at present, but they are not strong enough to compete with the whole world, as a free and casual mercenary, Zhao Zhi does not want to be attached to Germany. While giving Rowling the greatest happiness, Zhao Zhi needs to have the power to protect him, so Zhao Zhi must have a base where he can live, a base with great power that peeps dare not take action easily.

"Let's go, let's leave" Zhao Zhi looked back at the shipyard hidden in the dark night for the last time, turned his head and boarded the ship along the gangway, there were only 100 mercenaries left in the shipyard to protect Zhao Zhi, and the others were helping the Germans to rush to the assembly area, not only Zhao Zhi and them in the entire fleet, but also 30,000 Jewish refugees from Bremerhaven, this is Zhao Zhi's talisman, in order to cover up the large number of ordnance carried on the ship, Zhao Zhi needs the presence of Jewish refugees in the fleet.

"I still can't keep him" Looking at the telegram sent by Zhao Zhi when he left, Hitler was a little disappointed, this young man from Eastern China had gained his trust, and Hitler even wanted to arrange his niece to marry Zhao Zhi in accordance with the way of Chinese marriage in order to keep this magical Chinese young man. If you think about it carefully, the plans that Zhao Zhi made for himself are indeed exquisite, if according to the original battle plans of the high command, the German troops are still at war with those small Eastern European countries, if there is no Zhao Zhi's refugee relocation plan as a cover, where will there be a record of capturing Buckingham Palace and landing on the British mainland, of course, ordering the Polish army to cross the Alps and attack eastern France will not appear.

Compared with the walkie-talkie and bazooka brought by Zhao Zhi, Hitler valued Zhao Zhi more as a person, and from the beginning of the Polish assault in September, the German High Command's combat plan formulation was carried out around Zhao Zhi's calculations. With the fall of Luxembourg and Belgium, the defeat of Dutch France, and the fact that Britain itself was now in a mess by the Sleeper forces, the whole war was extremely favorable to Germany, and the war went on like this, and the destruction of Britain and France was a foregone conclusion. "Forget it, let's go" Hitler locked the farewell telegram sent by Zhao Zhi in the safe, and put it together with those classified documents, Zhao Zhi's true identity is highly confidential, and everything about him must be strictly controlled.
