The battle that took place in Southampton is nearing its end.

A large number of American troops chose to lay down their arms and surrender, and Don Tanner knew that he was powerless. What else can be done? When a commander loses all the support of his soldiers, the only outcome that awaits him is defeat.

Like Frank, despite Dontanner's defeat, he did not discredit a soldier and ended his life with a single bullet.

The gunfire gradually fell into silence in Southampton, replaced by bursts of cheers. Her Majesty's flag fluttered again in the city, and the fanatical citizens took to the streets to join in the revelry.

God Save the Queen - God Save England!

When the last gunshot had settled, all the Axis troops had entered Southampton, they lined up neatly, and then waited for the appearance of the amazing baron with a solemn and solemn expression.

The battle for Southampton was far less intense than it had been imagined before the war, and it could even be said that the Axis forces won in a relatively easy way, and all this must be attributed to one man:

Ernst. Bram - Baron Alexon!

It was his frequent activities, his effective work, and his calm and effective rebellion that led to the current victory. Lone heroes are not suitable for all battles, but when a god-like lone hero exists, then it is lucky for any army and a country.

"Hooray—Ernst!" "Hooray—Ernst!" "Hooray—Ernst!"

When Baron Alexson, known as "St. Ernst", appeared, the whole audience erupted in this crazy cry. Each soldier raised his right arm straight. Even the Englishmen raised their right arms in the same way.

Not only in the eyes of the German soldiers, but even in the eyes of the English, Ernst . . . Bream also became a god-like incarnation.

Wang Weiyi looked coldly at the cheering crowd. There was not much joy on his face, he waited all the time, and when the cheers finally faded away, he slowly spoke: "The soldiers of Germany, the soldiers of England, the soldiers of France, the subjects of Her Majesty the Queen." I saw Her Majesty's flag flying again in the city today, and I saw Southampton return to Her Majesty's rule, albeit as a German. I still feel incredibly proud and grateful. It's a great win, a win that's big enough to drive anyone crazy. I would like to thank all the soldiers who fought so hard, and I would like to thank every ordinary British citizen who has worked hard. And I think. At times like these, it is all the more important for us to pay a moment of silence to our fallen comrades. and the soldiers who died bravely in the struggle of the enemy, and the civilians who were slaughtered by the enemy. We must let him know that we have not forgotten. ”

After saying that, he was the first to bow his head. Then all the people bowed their heads.

A minute later. Wang Weiyi raised his head, and then said in a calm tone: "I heard your cheers, and I like to hear such cheers, but if you think that we have achieved the most difficult victory, then I think you are wrong, and everyone is wrong." We did not achieve a real victory, and Southampton was little more than an insignificant component in countless brutal and hard-fought battles. The real victory is to plant our flag in London. Let our soldiers march into London with their heads held high, and then cheer with the warmest cheers. Welcome our Majesty the Queen back into the city that was hers in the first place. Let the whole of England, not an inch of land be missed, and the song of 'God Save the Queen' will sound......"

"So, I command you, in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Axis Powers, to advance, to keep going. Don't linger here for even a second. Attack, keep attacking, and keep your tanks roaring! I hope that in the near future I will be able to see you all in London! Hooray, Germany! Hooray, England! Long live, Axis powers! ”

The craziest and most enthusiastic cheers resounded in the city again...... Everyone's emotions have been thoroughly mobilized......

The leading troops, under the orders of Baron Alexon, left Southampton without stopping, and they didn't even make too many adjustments. Not for anything else, but for the words of Baron Alexon still ringing in the ears of each of them:

"We didn't really win, Southampton was little more than an insignificant part of countless brutal and hard battles. The real victory is to plant our flag in London, to march our soldiers into London with their heads held high, and then, with the warmest cheers, welcome Her Majesty our Queen to re-enter the city that is hers......"

"Field Marshal Ernst, I think it's time for me to return command of the troops to you." When he saw Baron Alexon, Johnner said loudly.

Wang Weiyi shook his head slowly: "No, General Qiangnar, the general of the middle assault cluster will still be under your command, and the commander of each level has his responsibilities and powers, and I will not interfere with the power of any commander at will." I order you, General Johnner, Colonel Romeo, to rest the main forces for a day in Southampton, leaving the troops partially defended, and the rest all headed for London! Trucks, trains, all the power you have at your disposal must be fully utilized......"

"Yes, Your Excellency." Giannar replied loudly, and then he asked cautiously, "What about you, marshal?" Marshal Rommel has already explained again and again that if he meets you, he will not be allowed to go on a new adventure in any way. We can even ...... when necessary."

He didn't have the courage to say it, but Wang Weiyi smiled: "You can even detain me if necessary...... Erwin was always worried about my safety, but he didn't know that maybe taking risks was all I had. General Johnner, I can tell you frankly that I will be re-entering London, where I still have some business to do. And in the same way, I will be there to welcome you. ”

Jonnar gasped. God, Marshal Ernst is still going to re-enter London? Didn't he know that London had become the most dangerous place at this time? But there was nothing he could do to change Marshal Ernst's mind. Even if Marshal Rommel had told him, he didn't have the guts to do it......

．．．．．．

The loss of Southampton reached London for a long time, and although it was expected, it caused an uncontrollable panic. It is important to know that even though the Axis forces suddenly chose to land at Easton and took the Allies by surprise, Southampton was still able to hold out for a while in the overall operational concept of the Allies.

But no one thought of it. The city fell into the hands of the Axis forces in such a short period of time......

London is in complete disarray, and everyone is looking for a chance to leave the city, especially the senior officials of the Fenton government. But. Another thing that worries them is the hostages on the "Galaxy" who have not received any news so far.

Once they leave London, what happens to their families? No one has been able to answer this question to them......

Contradictory feelings torment them all the time, and more bad news is constantly coming. The Axis lead forces had left Southampton. It is rapidly moving towards London. Maybe tomorrow as soon as I open my eyes. Enemy tanks and artillery will appear in London.

The activities of the underground resistance groups became more and more frequent, and after a period of silence, they intensified their activities, constantly launching attacks on the Allies and some important facilities in London. And those leaflets, almost all the time, are flying in London.

Even, someone openly sang "God Save the Queen" loudly on the street. And obviously, the police are also worried, and they are worried about stopping or arresting these people. What kind of terrible consequences can it cause.

Everywhere you can see soldiers in a hurry, and everywhere you can see hastily built fortifications. It was clear that the Allies were not willing to abandon the city so easily. Here it was already the last bastion of the Allies in Europe.

General Gandra and the Fenton government have come to an agreement that they will make the last push in London, no matter how far the war goes. Although the enemy's march is becoming more and more impressive, it is not without opportunities for the Allies.

At the very least, the reinforcements that had arrived in a hurry from Plymouth or elsewhere would have a chance to reach the battlefield after the decisive battle of London, but certainly not so easily, as they had to deal with the Axis forces and the guerrillas along the way.

General Gandra could rely on London's relatively large army and strong offensive, as well as a relatively adequate air base. And the two U.S. divisions that newly arrived in London also gave him such confidence. However, just as General Gandra was actively preparing for war, a not-so-very good news came:

A statement issued by a number of lawmakers to U.S. President William Brown. Wittgenstein's impeachment has been accepted by the House Judiciary Committee's Task Force, which means that the impeachment of President William has officially begun.

In the United States, President William was the staunchest supporter of the war and for a time won him great popularity. But as the war progressed, news of the defeat continued to spread to the United States, and President William's popularity was declining dramatically. And with the outbreak of the financial crisis that affected the entire United States, President William and the US government led by him made the situation even worse. Then came the serious racial crisis in the United States.

Now the United States is almost about to become a battlefield, and the frequent outbreaks and even armed uprisings of blacks have made the US government anxious, and they have to spare a lot of energy to deal with the racial crisis in the country. And the most troublesome thing is that the strikes and riots of black people have made the American economy, which is already mired in quagmire, even more unable to extricate itself.

Is it still necessary to continue the war in such a situation?

The big plutocrats abandoned William one after another, starting with those of the "New York League", and then the Jewish consortium, which President William regarded as his new ally, also expressed great disappointment with William. And then there are the middle-class Americans, whose frequent bankruptcies have made them no longer believe in any of the promises of William's government.

Once impeachment begins, there is no way to stop this terrible thing......

Gandra was a little discouraged, but he quickly forced himself to pull himself together. No matter what happens in the country. As long as the order to end the war is not given, he must fight to the end. This is something that a soldier must do......

．．．．．．

General Gandra and the Fenton government were in disarray, but at Sir Monrington's house. Her Majesty's subjects are even considering how to welcome Her Majesty's return. Even Duke Stephen openly appeared at Sir Monrington's estate.

This cunning old treacherous duke, who has always hidden himself deeply, doesn't have to worry about anything at the moment. The agents who were spying on him were long gone, and now who still has an old guy doing something? Besides, you have to leave a way out for yourself, right? Once Her Majesty the Queen returns to London, with the prestige and status of Duke Stephen, he will soon be reused by Her Majesty the Queen.

Why offend him when the war is already coming to an end?

Several glasses were filled with wine. The high-spirited Sir Grisrow of Montrington exclaimed: "Gentlemen, distinguished gentlemen, the moment we have been waiting for is coming. At this time last year. We are still worried, we are worried about our future, we are worried about the fate of England. We were very confused, and we didn't know what kind of results our efforts could get. But. I can proudly tell you today. Any of our worries are unnecessary. Her Majesty's army, and our allies, have taken Southampton and are advancing on London. Gentlemen, soon, we will be in London with our soldiers and tanks. Cheers! ”

"Cheers!" All of them raised their cups.

Grythro smiled and looked at Duke Stephen: "Your Excellency, is there anything you have to say to us?" ”

"Ah, I think we've become a blatant party...... I think the police sent by Fenton to arrest us are probably already on their way......" Duke Stephen's words caused a burst of laughter, and no one would worry about a police officer or some federal agent appearing in front of him. Now they should think most about their own fate. Duke Stephen turned the wine glass in his hand:

"I'm happy and I'm proud. In my lifetime, I have experienced a total of three world wars. In the First World War, we won, in the Second World War, we actually became allies with Germany, and in the Third World War, it was even more wonderful for Britain. Aha, who would have thought that it was the Germans who saved us? I think we should have a toast to our German friends. ”

A few glasses were raised again, and Duke Stephen took a sip: "Now, there are some things that most of you don't know I can tell you, our friend, Baron Alexon, has been active in London before. ”

There was a low exclamation, many of them hearing such news for the first time. God, Baron Alexon, this amazing baron has been in London all along?

"I can't tell you in what capacity he is here for the time being...... Duke Stephen said lightly, "but he has been of great help to us. He rescued many of our arrested companions, and he secretly orchestrated many of our successful operations. He even toyed with the Americans and the figures of the Fenton administration. I always think, thank God that He is our friend and not our enemy. ”

There was another burst of laughter, and Duke Stephen laughed and said, "I'm an old man, but I'm serious. If I were twenty years younger, I would not hesitate to follow the Baron on those magical, incredible adventures. Even at my age, after talking to the baron alone a few times, I felt like I was bursting with combat power. So, gentlemen, what right do we have not to fight for ourselves when a German is working so hard for us? Mr. Lance, my dear butler, tell me what have you done? ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." As Duke Stephen's former butler, Mr. Lance said respectfully: "When the first shots are fired at the attack on London, a great armed uprising will break out in Coventry. I think the scale of this uprising is unprecedented in British history. We will have at least one division of the enemy involved in Coventry. It doesn't have a big impact on the overall situation, but I hope it will be a way to show my loyalty to England. ”

"No, it has a big impact." Duke Stephen was quick to say, "Mr. Reims, you have succeeded in involving one of the enemy's divisions, and perhaps many more, Coventry. This is true in Manchester, and in every city in England. In addition to the formidable forces of the Axis powers, our enemies also had to contend with an endless stream of uprisings. We're going to turn London into a battlefield, and we're going to turn all of England into a huge battlefield! ”

Everyone's emotions were aroused by Duke Stephen, especially at such a time when the Duke's words simply made their blood boil, and they wanted to plunge into the war now.

And that's exactly what Duke Stephen and everyone else want to see:

Turn all of England into a huge battlefield! (To be continued......)
