Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 145: dinner

Carefully put a baby pigeon crouching, garnished with a circle of fresh rosemary leaves, and then carefully cover the silver plate tray. ▲∴▲∴,

"Hurry up. Don't cook cauliflower for too long. What about the mashed potatoes you just put here?" Mr. Phil, the chef, was almost dizzy, and the kitchen was in a mess.

"Quick serving, today they have a particularly good appetite." The waitress pushed the dining car into the kitchen. "Look, there is nothing left. They have started to eat the second stew."

"How do you give me, who would know that so many big guys are coming today. We didn't prepare too many ingredients. How about fried fish? With potato chips." Phil yelled at a chef.

"Mushrooms! We also have mushrooms. Let's fry them with olives and collect the juice with cream. You will handle them."

"Observe the order, chef." The chef responded loudly, then ran quickly to the storage room.

"Well, it seems that you have tried your best. It's unbelievable. Now they still have appetite to eat." The foreman carefully put the newly prepared meal on the dining car.

"This is the difference between the big guys and us. Well, send these up, don't let the big guys wait." Phil stuffed a paper bag into the uniform's pocket. "This is the rock candy that I just arrived today. Take it to your daughter."

"Thank you, Phil, Retty will be very happy." The foreman smiled and nodded at Phil, then pushed the dining car out of the kitchen.

"We also have fifteen battalions of infantry assembled in Bristol. They carried anti-tank guns and infantry artillery. They were able to board the train tonight and expected to reach Maidstone tomorrow afternoon." Ironside The Marshal took the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then took a sip of cool ice water from the glass in front of him.

"Well, I said long ago, you don't have to worry at all, everything is under our control." Churchill forked a piece of beef, dipped the sauce on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth to chew. .

"Look at the ugliness of this group of guys in the afternoon. It really makes me sick. These people still claim to be members of the British Empire. I think it is braver to find a rogue from the street. This group of cowards even asked the government to move the capital immediately. Funny. I said it long ago. I won’t go anywhere, where I am, the core of the British Empire!" Churchill put down his fork and said aloud to Ironside.

"How is the situation over the navy, how long will it take for those two battleships to be completed. There is also the anti-aircraft cruiser, how could it be delayed so long. I have already said that the shipyard must go all out, and some of them must be dereliction of duty, You should immediately set up an investigation team. Anyone who meets negative work neglects, whether officials or workers, should be immediately arrested and severely punished for crimes of malfeasance and treason.

In addition, the efficiency of the **** formation should be increased by more than three times. The number of ships arriving at the port this month has fallen below the danger line, and imperial citizens will begin to starve. I know the difficulties of the navy. It has been a great loss for several consecutive naval battles, but this is not the reason for the cowardly battle. Now I don’t need you to fight the German navy. I just need you to ensure that there are enough cargo ships to dock every month. It is your navy’s responsibility to defend the maritime transportation line. I don’t care what method you use, I just see the results.

And you also know the request from Canada. Immediately deploy six destroyers to form an **** formation. I will not give the Canadians a reason to refuse. The only thing they should do now is to obediently bring me the army.

You don't have to worry about no boat available. The Americans have promised us a batch of destroyers. The Navy now has a new mission, which is to send enough qualified sailors and officers to control these warships. Don’t let me down again, Your Excellency. If it's messed up this time. Don't expect me to forgive you again mercifully. "Churchill turned his face to Pound, and the saliva with the beef debris almost spattered on the uniform of the navy marshal.

Pound and his chief of staff nodded quickly and respectfully. Due to the sudden landing of the Germans, all plans in London were disrupted, but also because of this, the original treatment of Pound can only be stopped at this moment of crisis. The removal of the chief officer of a service will seriously affect the morale of the army and the people, so the navy marshal will remain in office. The Chief of Staff of the Navy seemed a little depressed about this result, but he could only obey the Prime Minister's arrangement and secretly waited for the next opportunity.

The news of the German landing can only be blocked for one to two days at most, because the survivors of the Air Force and the Army have evacuated the battlefield, and these people cannot keep secrets at all. These news will definitely begin to spread among the people as they return. Time will surely cause a catastrophic panic. Churchill didn't worry about it at all. Now he actually doesn't care about anything. He is now keen to continue to play the role of a tough prime minister, making people believe that everything is still under his control.

Churchill will not accept his defeat, because if he loses this war, he will also lose everything that belongs to him. Noble-born, he will never accept this kind of ending, he will not fail, never will, and may suffer some setbacks, at most it is the case, the ultimate winner must be him, he tried to convince himself that this is the fact.

Having tasted the taste of power, Churchill was not willing to give up this wonderful feeling. He could ask for all the citizens of the British Empire. No one dared to defy his orders. In a sense, he was actually the essence of Britain. King.

The original royal family has now been completely aerial, and it has become like a mascot. At this time, how could he give up this power. If you want to keep this kind of power, you must continue this battle, because only the war continues, the wartime cabinet will never be disbanded, as long as the wartime cabinet exists, his power can be guaranteed. As long as he still sits on the prime minister’s throne, no one can challenge his authority. Even the king can only obey his arrangements. Without his consent, no order can pass out of Buckingham Palace.

The Germans may temporarily win some victories, Churchill has realized this, but he believes he can control this situation, at least to ensure that he will lose both sides with the Germans, because he has won the affirmation of the United States, his distant cousin promised He will spare no effort to support Britain to continue this war.

Churchill also knew that the other party’s motives were not as selfless and noble as the man said. For a long time, the United Kingdom had been hanging above the United States like a sword of Damocles. How could the Americans give all their strength for the British war? I just want to continue this war. At this point, Americans and Churchill have the same purpose. But the meaning behind it is completely different.

Americans hope that the war can continue, in essence, they want to weaken Britain as much as possible through the power of Germany. At the same time, they also wanted to use the hands of the British Empire to consume the war power of the Germans. The defeat of the two empires and the injury of both sides is the result that the Americans most want to see, so that it is in the best interest of the United States and the American invasion The threat is reduced to a minimum. This is entirely a contest at the national strategic level, and if it is changed, he will make the same decision.

Churchill believes that with his current cards in hand, he should be able to entangle with the Germans for a while. As long as the assistance of the United States arrives, he can arm a dozen divisions at any time. At that time he will lead the British army and the Germans in a protracted war.

After all, the Germans are fighting across the sea, and the British have the advantage of the inside. The longer the war is delayed, the more favorable it will be for the British. It would be better if the United States could directly intervene in the war. The industrial capabilities across the Atlantic are obvious to all. Although Americans have always been less likely to fight, under the leadership of excellent British officers, they can still exert certain combat capabilities. As long as he uses some means at the time, coupled with the cousin's push, he is not afraid that the Americans will not obediently give command.

After all, the national strength of the Germans is still limited. They simply do not have the deep heritage of the British Empire. This upstart country is only blindly consuming its accumulated energy. It may explode with a strong fighting power in a short time, but it is absolutely impossible to have any permanence. Once they fall into consumption The quagmire of war is ultimately inevitable.

"As the Prime Minister said, the weather is good for us now, and we can get two days more preparation time. The German raid has lost its meaning, and the bad weather has brought us back. The wind and waves on the strait have exceeded According to the calculation of the Naval Science and Technology Bureau, it has affected the navigation safety of small ships. So until the weather improves, the Germans will not be able to continue to send troops and supplies to the island, and the Army estimates that the Germans are now The troops that landed are not enough to complete the assault on London. They must accumulate more troops and supplies, so the Army Staff believes that the Germans will not have any further action for the past two days, they can only stay in place and wait for the weather to improve "Isme said excitedly while cutting the pigeon.

"Yes, this proves that God is still on the side of the British Empire." Churchill lifted the whisky glass in front of him and swallowed it.

"This rain will continue for at least two more days. The current situation is good for us. In two days we can re-assemble the strength of 30 battalions. There are also 1.5 million self-defense forces as backing. We can block them Within Kent. As long as we have the faith of victory, we will be able to drive the enemy down to the sea. In addition, we must fight a beautiful battle before the panic of the people erupts to regain their confidence.

At present, the atmosphere in the city of London is very bad. Pessimism and surrenderism have been circulating among the citizens. There are still many unrealistic rumors. In this regard, I have instructed the London Police to conduct a detailed investigation. Killed from the source. The sealed newspapers should be sealed immediately, and the arrested anti-government and communist personnel should be arrested immediately and tried with strict rigor, so that the public can see the end of these scum, which can improve their awareness and inspire Their determination to resist. Churchill pointed his finger at the Secretary of the Interior and National Security, Sir Edward, who quickly nodded and accepted.

"We need to build barricades, which requires a lot of building materials. Consider dismantling some of the buildings in the Eastern District. The houses there are too old and dense. It is easy to cause fires. After the demolition, some hidden hazards can be eliminated. In addition, the residents there are uneven. There are many anti-government and pro-German elements. The Army must cooperate with Scotland Yard to screen civilians in these areas. Anyone with suspicious behavior should be arrested and interrogated. Now that the most critical time has come, the Germans must be in the UK. There are a lot of spies in ambush. As far as I know, there are a lot of underground organizations and parties that oppose the empire in London. There is absolutely no tolerance for this type of person. If anyone dares to resist, they can be killed on the spot." Churchill forked an egg and took it on hand The salt shaker sprinkled a little sea salt on the eggs.

"I agree with the Prime Minister. I propose that the refugees stranded in the city of London should be evacuated. There must be a lot of potential saboteurs. At the same time, we must pay attention to the collection of weapons in their hands. Many of them were once national self-defense. Army equipment, these guns should have been used by warriors defending the country, instead of staying in the hands of a group of cowards now endangering the safety of law-abiding citizens.” Ismay added on the side.

"This is handled by Sir Edward and the two inspectors. The responsibility of Scotland Yard is very heavy. I will issue a written order that they can obtain the necessary freedom of movement and power when performing similar tasks." Churchill put down his knife and fork The waiter hurried forward to remove the empty tray, and another waiter immediately served the next meal.

"Fried fish? I like fried fish." With a smile on his hands, Churchill put the napkin into the neckline and stuffed it again, picked up the knife and fork and started cutting the food in the plate. (To be continued.)
