Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 223: Surrender (3)

The talks lasted for two full hours, and finally Weierle lived up to Xu Jun's expectations, perfectly fulfilling the task given to him by the head of state, and reached a preliminary agreement with the British royal family. The German head of state's plan can be said to have been completed at this moment. Halfway through.

George VI accepted the Weiller deal, saying that the British royal family will fully cooperate with the German side. The king also emphasized that he will also do his utmost to provide support and assistance for the signing of the final war agreement between the two countries.

Weiler expressed his gratitude to George VI. He personally admired the wise decision of His Majesty the King of England. The Special Envoy of the German Head of State has to admit that the British monarch is a man with a peculiar personality charm. Although the relationship between the two parties is still in a hostile position in jurisprudence, it does not prevent him from attaching importance to the appreciation of this monarch in his personal impression.

Weirle and Xu Jun could not predict the impact of the royal family's reversal to the German side. Since the election of Hanover’s Elector George I as King of England, his royal family has ruled this. The country has been in existence for more than two hundred years, from the Hanover dynasty to the Saxony-Coburg-Gotha dynasty to the current Windsor dynasty. Counting the abdicated Edward VIII, it has experienced nine generations of kings.

This family from Germany has been deeply entrenched in the British mainland. When the royal power was strongest, the tentacles of the royal family even covered every inch of the territory of the British Empire. Although after the collapse of Queen Victoria, the royal family was completely surrounded by various forces, and the powerful nobles and politicians took advantage of the points and took a lot of power and interests, but it does not mean that they have been vulnerable.

The British royal family has a huge appeal that ordinary people can't imagine. At the same time, the royal family also controls a large number of industries and land, rich and powerful, and a large number of contacts. The aristocracy and civilians who swear allegiance to the royal family are all over the country. So even when George VI became king and the king's authority was suppressed to the weakest, those opponents still dared not press the royal family too much, because at this moment the royal family still has the strength to break the net.

George VI controlled all the public and hidden resources and contacts of the royal family. His cooperation played a vital role in ending this war. The attitude of the British royal family can shake the entire colonial network system, because those governors and lords have vowed to allegiance to His Majesty the King. They should all be the strongest allies of the royal family.

When the talks were close to noon, Weierle politely resigned George VI's invitation to lunch. Although royal dining did have a lot of temptations for him, he still has more important things to do now. .

Weierle respectfully quit George VI, and hurriedly left Buckingham Palace with his guard and his entourage. Weyler knew that he would come to Buckingham Palace again next time. But it won't be as convenient as it is today. The blockade of this area is unlikely to continue for a long time, because there are many diplomatic institutions nearby, such as the US embassy not far from Halifax Square, Americans have already moved to Germany because of the restricted access of members The occupying forces protested, but everyone could tell that the US ambassador just went through the official procedures and brushed the existence by the way.

Weierle had a casual lunch in the restaurant of the War Department, accompanied by General von Bock, commander of the e-group army group. He had just turned his head on the morning of the day, but soon the group army group would be divided into several parts. The headquarters will draw a group of troops out of it to form an occupation force in Britain. Weierle didn't disclose to Bock how much the talks were about. He was not worried about Bock's loose tone, but because the content of the talks had not been reported to the head of state, and the issues involved were too sensitive.

After eating lunch. Weyler drove Major Chester to the Ministry of Economics building, where Churchill's wartime cabinet was last stationed. Now that the bunker has been completely emptied by the Germans, the soldiers responsible for the cleanup were ordered not to allow the omission of even a piece of paper. All the staff of the cabinet during the war were captured and are now being interrogated and screened by German intelligence personnel. The eyes of Odin seem to want to find out who can help the German military operations in the future.

Unfortunately for the intelligence fighters, so far, there has not been a tough guy they expected. After all, these people are just ordinary national civil servants. It was only because of the position of the job that I came into contact with some confidential documents, and it was really difficult for some strong men to make these civilian staff feel as if they were dead.

Weierle has learned that most of the cabinet members have been controlled by the German army. Except for the officials who were captured in the core area, the rest have been placed under house arrest by the German army. Weiller knew that these people would be willing to stay in London. Most of them knew that their faction had contacted the Germans. These people were looking forward to cooperating with the Germans and obtained the benefits after the war. A certain share.

Weierle can only sigh that these people think too much, and the resources they have in their hands are not enough for the Germans to agree to share their income with them. However, it is not bad to select a group of agents and collaborators. It should be useful for Germany to control the British mainland. However, it is necessary to find some professionals to select the specific list.

Weiller was walking in the corridor of the British Ministry of Economics building, which was full of British government staff a day ago, and these people have now been placed under house arrest in a hall on the ground floor, under the strict supervision of a team of heavily armed German gendarmes.

"Just in this room, General." The guiding Gendarmerie Lieutenant walked to an office and stopped, he deflected to make room in front of the door.

Weierle looked up at the sign on the office door, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A voice in the room responded, and the Gendarmerie Lieutenant reached over to open the door for Weiller.

"Let your people guard the aisle and don't let anyone approach this room, Lieutenant Liszt." Weiler gave the order to the Gendarmerie Lieutenant.

"Follow the order, General, I will be personally responsible for guarding." Liszt paid a salute to Weiler, and then strode away to call the military police responsible for the floor guards.

Entering the room, under the direction of Weiller, Major Chester closed the door. This is a very ordinary office. Like other government officials’ offices, there is a bulky desk in the middle of the room with two telephones and a pile of office supplies. There are several belts against the wall. There are file cabinets with glass lattice windows and a writing desk with a typewriter.

A well-dressed elderly gentleman was standing behind the desk at the moment, his gray hair was very neatly combed, and he stood there standing calmly with his waist straight, his pale and thin face with a serious expression and deep eyes. Staring tightly at the uninvited guest in front.

"I'm glad to see you here, Your Excellency Secretary of State." Weyler nodded astoundingly.

"Introduce yourself, this is Lieutenant General Hagen Wehrler, the Special Envoy of the German Head of State."

"German head of state?" The old man looked surprised. He did not expect that the envoy of the German head of state would meet with him. If he still sat in the original position, it would be understandable, but now he is just an ornament, Under the guise of uniting factions within the party, he has lost the ability to control the political situation in the UK.

Churchill’s superficial respect for him is more to block the mouths of others. For this British empire he has served loyally for 22 years, he endured humiliation and reproach from all sides, diligent He earnestly completed all the work the cabinet gave him, even if it was a signboard for display, he also behaved like a crown for the cabinet.

He knew that his body was no longer good. Although the doctor declared that the operation was successful, he knew that he had been exhausted by the disease, and the time left for him was running out, but he still insisted on returning to his own. The post continued to work, even if it was just a rubber stamp-like position, he still invested all his energy to complete his duties.

Weierle has read all the information about this man, he can understand each other's behavior. This man is so hesitant not only because of the oath he once made, but also because he wanted to make up for the mistakes he had made in the past, those guilt that should not be borne by Weiler.

"Please sit down, General Wehrler, I'm sorry there is nothing to entertain you here." The old man made an invitation gesture and then sat in the armchair behind the desk.

"Thank you, the German Head of State once mentioned to me that he met with you in Munich. I think you must have remembered this." Weierle thanked him by owing to him, and then sat across from the desk.

"Yes, I am very impressed with him. Who would have thought that the blond young man who had been hiding in the corner would actually become Hitler's heir." The old man's eyes were somewhat distracted, and the problem of Wehrer awakened him for a long time. Memory.

"So, I don't know what expensive the general came to do, not just to talk about some old things." The old man quickly returned to normal, he calmly raised his doubts.

"The German government is preparing for a final battle negotiation with the United Kingdom. It is now time to end the war, but given that Churchill's cabinet has lost its ability to govern." Weiller paused, staring at the old man's eyes.

"We hope that you will stand up to form a temporary cabinet and once again serve as Prime Minister of the British Empire, His Excellency Arthur Neville Chamberlain."
