On the edge of a collapsed factory, several workers were reluctantly moving the broken bricks around. Then the small bricks were thrown into the trolley, and when they were full, they were transported away by another man who stood by the trolley and smoked.
In the early morning of January 27, it was not just the Royal Navy, but also Manchester, the old and majestic industrial city in England. At the same moment, a German butcher bomber patronized a brand-new hurricane fighter production line that the British had just built a few days ago.
It is said that a German spy put a fire in the factory area that day, guiding the German strategic bomber to drop the bombs and incendiary bombs accurately. In the darkness before the sun had risen, this British secret production was completely destroyed. factory.
Dozens of hurricane fighters that had just been assembled in half were burned, and production lines and factories were blown into ruins and burned to ashes. The fighters that the British Air Force is looking forward to have turned into worthless garbage, and the number of air defense fighters will not meet the needs of frontline operations in a short time.
The fire lasted two days and one night before it was extinguished. The Germans used a new type of weapon for bombing. This weapon was called "Akaduo Fireworks" by the British. It can be attached to anything and burn, sometimes even No water can be put out. And this burning weapon ignited a huge fire in Manchester, directly turning one third of the city into a terrible ashes.
When everything fell silent, the British discovered that their chemical factories, textile factories and machinery factories were all turned to ashes, and most of the machines and equipment became a pile of scrap iron that had been melted by the fire.
Of course, the loss is not just these tangible equipment and assets. What really hurts the British people are the skilled workers and engineers who lost in the bombing. Because of the needs of the British government, these people were working overtime to produce hurricane fighters. If this batch of fighters can be successfully shipped out of the country, the British will suddenly have the air power scale of 80 hurricane fighters, but this time there is nothing left. .
The production of some British hurricane fighters that had just improved was instantly returned to its original shape. Thousands of technical workers died in the bombing of the day. Most of them were burned alive by the secret German weapon napalm in the factory building.
If the loss of the machine is acceptable to the British, the loss of personnel is the pain that the British cannot bear. In the afternoon of the same day, the relevant British departments were called together to launch the most severe spy arrest operation in history.
It was necessary to take seriously the German spy agents who were lurking in Britain. These people have now begun to control the situation of the war. The sabotage activities continued one after another, and at the last minute, the attack was carried out to point out the targets for the German bombers and assassinate important British personnel. These actions proved the value of German intelligence personnel, and almost destroyed the British centenary foundation once.
The British intelligence department is digging crazy about German intelligence agencies secretly in the UK. Soon, more than 30 grassroots German intelligence personnel were captured. Although the level of these German spies is very low, their number directly proves the high density of German spies deployed in the UK.
Churchill's resignation was rejected by the King of England, because no one was willing to take over the current mess. The Chamberlain Group intends to continue to watch the drama, and other politicians have no courage to face a formidable third empire with the Navy almost exhausted.
So Churchill had to stick his head and continue to work. When he continued to exercise the power of the Prime Minister, he found that in addition to catching spies and trying to withstand the terrible attack of the German navy, there was another painful errand. This errand is nothing else, it is the thousands of fallen soldiers who are in the care of the British Navy.
In the London bar, the old man, Greif, is accepting the British side to give him the honorary commemorative badge of the relatives of the fallen soldiers. Two officers of the British Navy are comforting this old man who is over 70 years old.
"17 of the destroyers survived and were rescued by another destroyer. One of these people was a German spy who had been arrested and questioned, and 16 others confirmed that your nephew was the captain. A true British naval officer. "The work of persuasion is very tedious, and many family members do not accept the fact that their loved ones have passed away. So the officer said that he was also very careful, for fear that the old man might have missed something.
"I heard that there were German spies out of his warship, and there are so many?" Mr. Greif asked mournfully: "He didn't even realize that this idiot? How could he not notice? This time? He is responsible for his defeat, he is responsible! "
"Sir, we have checked the records. First of all, his adjutant as a German spy intended to cover up. In addition, he did catch a German spy in 1936, but the man committed suicide when he was found out." Another officer persuaded.
The two officers who were responsible for comforting the families of the killed were completely moved by the words of the old man. Over this period of comfort, how many families cried, and some even made a big noise, adding countless troubles to their work. Today's Greif is really an authentic traditional English gentleman. He is steady and solemn, and he still complains about his relatives who died in battle. It is too kind.
"Has the body been found? Or, can you confirm that it sank with the boat?" Greev complained of his nephew, and then wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, apparently still most sad, making people look like he was still wanted Not good for a while.
This question made the two officers finally find the feeling of comforting the families of the fallen. So one of them immediately said: "Because of the destroyer ’s defection, the military means that the mourning must be reduced, at most only Can be counted as a victim to give some compensation. "
Hearing the word "compensation", Greev's face became a little unsightly. This was also the main reason why most of the families of the fallen people started to make trouble. Many people could not even be killed because they could not prove it. There is no basic compensation, which is the main reason why the two officers who comforted their families have not worked well in the past few days-you think, if there is a lot of money, few people are willing to make trouble, right?
"Senior man ... We are also very embarrassed, but ..." An officer quickly explained, afraid that the old man would come out again "one cry, two troubles, three hangs."
"I have such a big family business, a car in front of the door. Not all of my nephews have saved their meals after retirement?" Who knew that Greif did not cry, but said in pity: "Now he Back in the arms of God, what use is there for my family? "
He said while pointing to a Mercedes-Benz car parked at the door, and said to the officer who came to deliver the medal: "That car is my nephew, I will donate it to the government. I heard that you requisitioned the car, and I count it Do my best for my dead nephew.

What is enlightenment? This is it! What is noble? This is it! What is an English gentleman? This! on! Yes! Now! The two officers didn't know how to describe it. They almost knelt and cried while holding Greif's thigh.
"Senior man! If you have any problems in the future, ask us to help us. Nothing!" An officer patted his chest with red eyes: "If someone makes trouble in your tavern, the first person in our Royal Navy Personnel Department will not let him go. ! "
"Yes!" Another officer quickly expressed his position and nodded. "Old man! You can rest assured! We will be your half nephew in the future! Let's talk about anything! My father is a major general, and even the navy minister and prime minister can see you." The people above! "
Jokes, it's best to treat us both as nephews! This is half a pub that only earns nothing! There are two Mercedes-Benz cars! Don't you have to save 5 or 6 digits to say less? Can you really get a lot of legacy? However, it will be more depressed when paying the inheritance tax ... I have thought of where to go.
"I'm unaccompanied, you young people really make me envious." The old man sighed and wiped tears: "I won't be polite with your two children anymore. I will find you later. of."
"No problem! No problem!" "Although look for! Even look for!" Both have begun to fantasize that they will get a lot of legacy in the future, so their attitude is more humble.
Grief mourned and sent two officers away. As soon as he turned around, the old man sighed. The gray wolf is not his true nephew. The old Greif died long ago in the war, but he did treat the gray wolf as his own nephew. After all, in a lonely foreign country, there is such a person who talks about it. It is a very happy thing.
He left the tavern and walked to his apartment. He hummed in a minor and habitually threw a shilling to the beggar at the door of the building. The beggar nodded his head in a hat and thanked him. Greev did not go upstairs but squat Beside the beggar, said sadly: "My nephew died in battle."
"That's really unfortunate! Sir." The beggar comforted with regret: "May God bless you."
Greave sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm sorry to tell you this." Then he walked upstairs with a heavy step. He closed the door mechanically, opened the dark grid on the wall, took out a radio station, opened the codebook on the table, and sent a lonely message beginning with k.
The content of this information is not complicated: "Gray Wolf, dead."
