Chapter 385: London Scene

War is Satan, who brings hell to earth......

War is pain, and happiness becomes a luxury......

Happiness, family, with the outbreak of war, is fast moving away from London.

As a party to the war, Fan Yize, walking on the streets of London, carefully looked at the city in front of him that had been seriously damaged by the war.

Although the Germans had not attacked London for several months, it seemed that for the Germans, since the Red Alert Empire had agreed to land on British soil, the British mainland was no longer a battlefield for the Germans.

From this point it is also clear that the decline of the Germans is that the war has reached such a point that any country is already exhausted, including Germany.

Britain, the threat to Germany in Africa, was also in Britain's vast colonies.

Germany was unable to land on British soil, and the continuous bombing and damage to British mainland were not enough to make the British surrender.

The Germans chose to concentrate all their combat power on the Soviet-German battlefield, letting go of the British.

But the months after the air raids stopped little changed for Londoners.

Although a large number of building debris has been cleared of the streets of London, the city is still full of holes.

The British government could not afford to spend even ten dollars and pounds sterling to simply repair London, but it was just left in ruins.

Or for the British government, the war was not over, and it was pointless to repair London, because no one knew when the Germans would bomb London again.

And what bothers London is definitely not the work on the surface, no one cares about the way London is now, everyone just cares, whether they can buy food tomorrow, this is the real key.

Britain itself, for a long time, there have been no transport ships docked, the local grain can only barely sustain, all the colonies of grain and materials, many of which are directly transported to Africa or processed and manufactured in the colonies.

Britain, who was nervous about recovering its industry, quickly transferred some of its industry to its colonies in Africa, and only retained some of its underground industries that would not be threatened by bombing.

The London Underground has long been completely suspended, and the 402-kilometer-long Subway has suddenly become the core of London's fortifications.

Construction of the London Underground began in 1856 and opened on 10 January 1863, making it the oldest underground in the world.

Many of Britain's light industries, in this subway, completed the recovery in the course of the war.

However, the role of the subway is more of a safety point, and during the German bombing in the past, a large number of Londoners relied on hiding in the subway to escape the bombs of the Germans.

The most crowded places in London are the bomb shelters and the exit of the tube stations in the city, and many Londoners simply live in the bomb shelters and the underground for a long time.

Most of them are uninhabitable because their homes have been destroyed, and some are worried about the possibility of bombing at any time and the insecurity outside.

The London government did not stop it, at least not by evacuating the crowd in the event of an air strike.

War is a huge school, and those who have experienced it can always learn something new.

Londoners, on the other hand, learned how to live with war and how to avoid harm.

However, much of the damage caused by the war is not directly caused by the war itself, and the hunger problem caused by the war is threatening the security order of Britain itself.

From the outbreak of the war to the present, the whole of Britain has entered into the planning and distribution of materials, even if there is money, it may not be able to buy things.

10 Downing Street, for all British people, has planned a healthy diet list, and the content on the first list is indeed a healthy diet.

The amount of food that each person can buy is stipulated, and all Britons are required to control the amount of food they eat and save food.

In the economically developed United Kingdom, British society generally belonged to the ranks of sub-health at that time, and this list came out, if it continued, it could indeed change this sub-health situation.

But when the British finally got used to this kind of daily diet, the list was re-planned, and there is no doubt that the second planned list, the number of meals per person per day, became smaller.

Especially when Germany began to attack transport ships in the Atlantic Ocean without restrictions, the food supply of Britain itself was suddenly paralyzed.

The list has entered the third re-formulation, and the result is that the daily food supply of every British person has been reduced to only half a catty.

And this supply, which has been maintained to the present, is also the amount that Britain can barely supply itself without external supplies.

The food of the colonies was supplied directly to the battlefields of the Middle East and Africa.

On the streets of London at this moment, you can see war propaganda slogans at any time, and as far as the eye can see, the streets of London are mostly women, the elderly and children, and young men, which is difficult to see.

The recruiting offices set up on the streets are full of people, and there are not many young people in London who can join the army.

In response to a possible landing by the Germans, the British conscripted a large number of soldiers and launched a home defense.

Outside London, there are many training camps, but the soldiers in these training camps are generally sent to the African battlefield after three months of training.

At present, Germany has not yet captured the oil fields of the Soviets, and the North African oil fields developed by Germany have continuously sent Germany enough blood for war.

In order to support the Soviet Union, Britain also continued to fight bloody battles with the German North African Corps in North Africa, and the flames of war were raging in North Africa.

At the same time, the British did not forget the counterattack on the European continent, and the gradual exhaustion of Germany gave Britain a little hope for a counteroffensive, but also in response to the request of the Soviets.

If Britain could not contribute to the frontal battlefield in Europe, it would be difficult for the Soviet Union to hold out.

Once the Soviet Union is defeated, even if Qiu Fatzi tries his best to fight the whole of Britain, it will not be Germany's opponent.

Fortunately, to the relief of the British, the surface fleet of the German Navy has been completely destroyed by the British Navy, and the British Navy has taken full control of the entire Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.

German submarines could no longer find an opponent in the North Atlantic, but they could not invade the Mediterranean, and the strong protection of the Strait of Gibraltar left the Germans at a loss.

It is also based on this that there is a general hope for the whole of Britain to persevere.

However, this situation, after the Red Alert Empire declared war on the Soviet Union, began to fall into a full-scale panic.

The counteroffensive plan was almost halted, and the British government was also recruiting soldiers at any cost to defend the front in Europe.
