"What? You say that in our occupation zone, one after another, mid-ranking officers have been assassinated? Damn it...... Who did it exactly? Poles? French? Or the British? ”

Upon receiving the news of the assassination of several mid-ranking officers of the SS militia, Hitler flew into a rage, while Sara and Di Maria looked at each other as if they had guessed something.

"Adolf, calm down, looking at the descriptions of those methods of death, I don't think they were done by the Poles or the British and French, they all seem to be the handiwork of that man."

"That person?"

Hitler frowned and looked at Sarah, but suddenly said, "Are you talking about your enemy, the Dragon Chamber of Commerce from the New World?" But why did they come to kill my officer? What does this have to do with them? ”

Sara shook her head and said, "I don't know what it has to do with it, but I know that he has a group of killers, and the people under him are very strong in individual combat, it seems that he has his eyes on you, even if you don't want to help me, you can't be alone."

Hehe~ As far as I know, there are still remnants of the Chinese in Europe from the Dragon Chamber of Commerce, do you think the Jews are unforgivable, do you want to bring these people in the process of purging them? I think by then, I might be able to catch the bug hiding in the shadows. ”

Hitler looked at it for a while, wiped the beard on his lips with his hand and said: "It's a good idea, he wants to assassinate in the dark, then let's carry out a massacre in the open, see who kills more, see who can kill whom!" ”

"The Führer, the Führer is not good! Britain and France have officially declared war on us! ”

Before Hitler's order to massacre civilians was given, bad news reached his ears.

"What? They...... Did they really declare war on us? Sara, what now? ”

Sara leaned back on the sofa in the Führer's war room and did not answer immediately, and Hitler looked left and right, waved his hand, and asked his Gestapo to withdraw first, and then re-asked the question he had just asked.

"Britain and France have indeed declared war on us, how should we deal with it now?"

By this time, Sara had cut her hair short and was wearing a Nazi military uniform, just like an ordinary Gestapo next to Hitler.

She folded her arms in front of her chest, her eyes narrowed into a slit, and said coldly: "It's time to issue the second combat order, our beloved Führer." ”

It turned out that on the day Hitler decided to blitzkrieg Poland, they had already drawn up a plan for the future.

Hitler grinned and said, "Very well, give the second operational order now!" ”

He picked up the hand-cranked phone and shook out a number, and said to the other end of the phone: "I am Adolf Hitler, pass on my order, issue and circulate the top secret document No. 175 at the officer level, and execute it immediately!" ”

"Yes! Monarch! ”

The top-secret document of the 175th post-175 period mentioned by Hitler was the second operational directive drawn up earlier.

The so-called Second Operational Directive was mainly aimed at a series of countermeasures taken by Britain and France after the declaration of war on them, among them, after the British Empire declared war, the German Navy had blocked the Baltic Sea passage with many submarines and mines, and the Air Force had to monitor the British naval forces in military ports and the high seas, including the straits.

As for the French Army's Western Front, it is up to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army to decide at his discretion to reinforce the Western Front Army by allocating troops that can still be used after the other side has started the war, and the same is true for the Navy, which can only counterattack France after it has taken hostile action first, and the same is true for the Air Force.

In short, the starting point of the Air Force's operations on the Western Front was to completely defeat Poland, and if it still had strength, then it would be transferred to the west to prepare for a decisive battle.

In addition to these more specific military movements and arrangements, the document also included the mobilization and integration of a part of the SS reserve into the Army, as well as the authorization of the Army Commander-in-Chief to exercise authority in the Eastern and Western Fronts of operations, which would expand eastward as the troops advanced after crossing the eastern borders of the Reich.

In addition, these programs did not involve the civilian sector, and all their operational requirements had to be based on the laws established in peacetime, the so-called Reich Defense Act promulgated by Hitler, and, above all, the conscription of replacements, whether administrative, logistical or reservist, to fill vacancies in large numbers.

However, this latest order issued by Hitler always makes people feel like they are waiting to be killed, anyway, if Britain and France do not fight, we will not fight, we will stalemate with them on the Western Front, and then seize the time to occupy Poland on all fronts.

Zhou Yu knew in his heart why Hitler's response was, and he was in line with the meaning of Britain and France at this stage, especially the French army, which did not want to directly start a war with Germany at all, so that the ten divisions of the French Second Army Group only advanced a total of about 30 kilometers in depth after a frontal assault on the Chigfried Line.

The German response was also somewhat intriguing, they withdrew without a fight, making the French advance look a bit like a show, a tacit battle, just to ease the pressure of public opinion at the time, and it was really unconvincing for you to send so many troops to attack, let alone the speed of the turtle-like march.

The poor Poles did not wait for the help of their allies, and their misery would continue.

Compared with the French show-like attack, the British side was more passive, they sent an expeditionary force to stay with the French army, the combined armies of the two countries had nearly 110 divisions, but they faced the opponent's 23 divisions on the German Western Front, completely unmoved, which gave Germany a lot of time and opportunity to first finish the battle situation on the Eastern Front, and then go back to clean them up, and this decision of Britain and France inadvertently fueled Germany's arrogance.

The bad news was far more than that, as Roosevelt called on the people of the New World to unite on live television and radio after his famous fireside chat, to stop factionalism in Congress and to focus more on the war on the other side of the globe.

After all, no country can stay out of a world war of this magnitude in the true sense of the word, and every ship they sail on the seas, every battle that takes place is closely related to the future of the New World.

However, Roosevelt's speech was met with a blow in Congress, and almost everyone thought that the federal government of the New World should stay out of the matter, not get involved in the things in Europe, and just sell weapons and oil, and make money on both sides, how good it is.

Gradually, a wave of isolationism has been set off in the New World itself, to put it simply, the people of the Union are praying that the war will not happen, and they are all praying that their country will not get involved in this quagmire battle, so let them fight, how good it is to make money honestly, why do they have to wade into this troubled water?

However, within a few days, a piece of news reached the ears of every citizen of the Federal Government of the New World.

The British cruise ship Athena, which was transatlantic and was torpedoed and sunk in German waters, killed 112 people, 28 of whom were citizens of the New World.

Although Germany sent someone to inform the head of the foreign affairs office of the federal government the day after the incident that the sinking of the Athena and the death of the federal citizens had nothing to do with Germany, and assured that no German submarine could be involved in this incident, Hitlerkin also issued a special notice for this matter, so that the German navy should not attack any passenger ship, even one escorted by warships.

But this order is undoubtedly a joke, according to the statistics of the British military, just two days after Hitler's order was issued, the British Bosnia, Yellow Mist, and Rio Claro were sunk off the coast, these are all passenger ships.
