Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
On April 16, the London battlefield, which had been quiet for almost three days, became lively again. More than 200 German bombers of various models appeared in London, which had no value for bombing. The A group army suddenly began to ignore the casualties and attacked. Become cruel and extremely destructive.
A quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun appeared in the center of London under the protection of hundreds of German troops. The German army, which had lost patience, attacked several important buildings in the city center with a 30-mm caliber gun. When the German troops attacked the city center After a ruin, the 4D flag representing Germany was erected there.
The battle continued on this day. The Germans tried their best to start sweeping the British defenders inside the houses and buildings, and the British soldiers defending London. It was only then that the real fighting power of the Germans was not as gentle as the previous days showed. .
All suspected areas will be greeted by napalm bombs, because the declining conflict has gradually subsided and the London fire has burned again, and it is more intense than it was a few days ago. German soldiers crossed the flaming building from one side and rushed to the other battlefield in droves.
Lundstedt looked at two documents without a word in his headquarters. One document was the order that the head of state ordered to capture London at all costs, and the other one was the two hours. He received Incomplete casualty statistics report.
He knew that if it were not for trouble that was difficult to solve, Head of State Akado would not sign and issue such an order. In his impression, the head of state is more concerned about the casualties of the soldiers than the generals on the front line. This high head of empire is a little inexplicable in the loss of soldiers. This point has been explained in private by Marshal Brauchich. The Marshal attributed the head of state's habit of caring about casualties to the head of the low-ranking soldier class, because of his own personal experience.
Now that the head of state can give orders at all costs, it shows that there are some troubles in the country, and these troubles need to be won quickly to solve the war. As the commander of a group army, Lundstadt is obviously not an idiot. He immediately understood that high-intensity wars have raised domestic anti-war sentiments.
This thing is really a complicated creature. When the nation is in distress and the nation is not prosperous, often a slogan can allow countless people to support it. At that time, it seems that everyone is obliged to throw their heads and shed blood. However, when the country prospered and got rid of the crisis, the same people and the same thing can no longer get applause and encouragement. Everyone will long for a good life and have no interest in expanding the territory to dominate the world.
Akado did not excessively use national hatred or promote radical racism. The benefits of this were naturally huge. This decision allowed Germany to maintain its due sense and tolerance in the war, and removed Germany in advance. "No Hat ". On the other hand, it also alleviates the sequelae caused by war inertia to Germany, and avoids the stagnation and collapse of the German domestic economy once the war is stuck.
However, there are actually disadvantages in doing so. This disadvantage is that the national sentiment is not sufficiently thorough. The reserved reason and tolerance began to reflect on its own gains and losses during the war. Therefore, Germany now lacks the desperate kind that was incited by Hitler. Fighting mentality, so this embarrassing situation appeared.
In fact, under Akado's rule, the Germans have not relied on completely distorted emotions to launch wars of expansion abroad. In the early period, Arcado mainly gathered people's popularity by inciting the people to overthrow the "Versailles Peace Treaty", that is to say, Arcado relied on himself to break the prestige brought by the Versailles system. In the later period, the fundamental driving force for German expansion was that Akado distributed benefits to satisfy the capitalists, and the support of these capitalists was the cornerstone of the rampant German army.
Akado, who understands history, always walks on the edge of nationalism and uses the concept of "Great German" to blur and use dangerous racism. He succeeded in gaining unprecedented status and recognition by the people and absorbing fanaticism. The double support of the elements and the rationalists is the fundamental reason why he can defeat the Nazi party who relied solely on the fanatics: he did more and more radically for the country than the Nazi party, so the fanatics turned to support him, but he was gentle Treat domestic conflicts, so the rationalists are optimistic about him, so he can overcome the hitting Hitler and become the head of the country ... Since the benefits he has already taken, then now he must also bear the incomplete "fuzzy race" The trouble caused by "ism" has consequences.
Because he did not often use the Nazi Party to strictly control domestic public opinion and unabashedly act as a radical strategy to eliminate dissidents, he did not arbitrarily arrest those who opposed him, nor did he vigorously block their mouths. He has seen too many heroes who sacrificed his life for this country. He admires people like Seekert and Carl Benz, so he is unwilling to kill people who also love this country.
So these pressures are now on Akkado's shoulders, and they are pressing on General Lundstedt, the British front line commander. The two-hour mad attack has cost the German army a total of 2,000 soldiers. If it continues at this rate, the German army will have to lose at least 15,000 troops before today ’s attack stops.
Another problem that makes Lundstedt feel helpless is, what use is it for London that was beaten down in this way? It is already a ruin, the factory has been destroyed, the palace has collapsed, and millions of citizens originally estimated that even one tenth will not be left. Such a London may be more symbolic than practical.
After looking at the document in front of him, he stood up and shook his head and sighed. The combat staff came over to comfort the old general who had come down for a few days: "General, this is the meaning of the Supreme Command, we just need to execute it."
"Of course I know what to do. I just think it is not necessary to do so." Lundstedt looked very moved. He walked to the window and continued to say: "I know Berlin needs a war to end. The news, even if London is only a symbol, it must be defeated as soon as possible. As soon as the war here is over, then the Berlin Head of State will be much better ... But, it is a pity to sacrifice soldiers in vain. "
"General, we have vowed to be loyal to the head of state." The staff thought about it and persuaded the old general: "Compared to the time of loyalty to the German emperor, our current situation does not know how many times better-at least the head of state took us It ’s enough to be life, not supplies that can be consumed. "
After experiencing the battle of Verdun and the battle of the Somme, Lundstedt did n’t know how cruel the war was. He certainly knew that compared to the kind of battle that was based on human life and blood accumulation, he now commanded Fighting can almost be counted as a military exercise. Thinking of this, he felt a little bit better.
With a cough, he patted the staff's shoulders gratefully, and then walked back to the front of the combat map again, watching his troops gradually compressing the central area of ​​London. Come to an end soon, as long as we occupy this place, we can declare that the war against Britain is over. He thought silently in his heart.
In fact, the British did not want to continue fighting like this for a long time, because the war was fought in their homes. No matter what they broke, it was their own. Someone has long compared Paris in France, which is also patronized by Germany, but the treatment is very different.
Paris is now almost unscathed, and the Germans are very restrained in their actions in Paris, so whether it is defeated or occupied, in fact, the pain for the civilians in Paris, France is not much, on the contrary, London in the United Kingdom is different. It is almost here. Flattened to the ground! So many British people are reflecting on whether their resistance so desperately is right or wrong.
Now it ’s not impossible to give Germany some relief for the people. Since we firmly believe that we can win, we might as well take it back in the future! This is what many people think. If they do n’t say it, it does n’t mean they do n’t think so.
Just as Lundstadt was struggling with how to carry out the tragic street fight to the end, the door of his office was knocked.
"Come in!" The general and the staff turned back at the same time, looking at the young officer who had entered the door.
"Long live Akado? Rudolf!" The incoming officers stood saluting before saying, "General! The commander of the 29th Division of the British Defensive stationed in South London sent a surrender letter, and he was willing to surrender to us."
"Oh? This is good news. Are you sure they really want to surrender?" Lundstadt was stunned for a moment, then immediately ecstatic. It ’s not that he has n’t seen an enemy division surrender in France, but this time it ’s obviously more significant: At this time, the British army surrendered, indicating that the opponent ’s determination to fight was shaken. Shake, then it is not far from the collapse.
Soon this news was confirmed, and Germany made an exception to send the commander of the 1st Infantry Army nearby to personally receive the British surrendering division and held a grand surrender ceremony. According to Akado's instructions, the surrendered division was appointed as the honorary mayor of London, Germany.
The position of this division was quickly handed over to the Germans, and the southern defense of London collapsed completely. The British defenders, who had insisted just two hours ago, were defeated instantly.
