1236 Waiting for 1 Result

After twisting a page with his fingers, a general wearing a British army uniform looked at the haggard British king, then with a slightly embarrassed expression, he continued to read the reports in his hand that made him a little embarrassed.

As the commander-in-chief of the British Army and now the commander-in-chief of the ground forces of all member states of the British Empire, General Alan Brooke's daily job is to report all kinds of embarrassing failures. He took over the command of the Army. Until now, the British Army has not been able to achieve a single exciting and large-scale victory on the battlefield.

The old general spoke with difficulty, reporting the various failures that occurred in the past week in a low voice: "In Saudi Arabia, the 11 armed Indian divisions were defeated by German and Italian troops. Now retreating towards Iran with about 40,000 people surrounded and captured..."

"General Alan Brooke, send a telegram to our commander Mountbatten, asking him to find a way to arm more local Indians and make every effort to hold Iran and stop the German army from continuing to advance eastward." King George VI of the United Kingdom Shi looked at his army commander and gave orders weakly, as if he already knew that all the orders he said would not be executed at all.

"Your Majesty! You must know that we can no longer continue to arm the local Indian troops. These troops waste arms and often disobey orders. Thousands of them were defeated by the German army and became prisoners." General Alan Brooke explained: "So, in A few hours ago, General Mountbatten called, hoping that we could send one or two British or Canadian divisions to India to assist him in continuing to fight the enemy."

"Just kidding, the Canadian side has limited the number of troops supporting us to a maximum of 10 divisions. We have already wiped out 4 divisions in the past time, and then transferred two... What do we use to defend Canada? And Iceland?" George VI asked with some annoyance.

General Alan Brook pondered for two seconds, and then suddenly suggested to His Majesty the King: "Your Majesty, according to incomplete statistics, about 500,000 of our troops have become prisoners of war of the Germans, and they are locked up in concentration camps. To produce cannonballs and uniforms for a loaf of bread every day against ourselves...the entire British Isles have become German-occupied areas, and in this case, we can't go on for long."

"Can't hold on for long? A month ago, you generals told me that we can't hold on for long! But we have continued to hold on until now! My people believe in me! My people support me! As long as we If you don’t admit defeat, you can persevere!” George VI looked at Alan Brook and roared with great excitement. Others may accept the fact of defeat and surrender, but he, the king of England, would never dare to humiliate and beg for peace.

"Your Majesty! With all due respect, if our naval fleet is still there, there is still hope of a tragic victory if we persist. Now that the navy has suffered heavy losses, we continue to persevere. Once the Germans land in Iceland, what will we do to stop them?" Alan Brooke heard King George VI so stubborn,

He had no choice but to threaten: "Iceland's garrison force has only one division, and the Germans may wipe us out with only two regiments!"

In fact, Alan Brook's calculation is more pessimistic than this conclusion. Considering that Germany is using special forces on a large scale, which is a special combat mode that is difficult to guard against, Alan Brook feels that if possible, the Germans only need to invest about 200 special forces soldiers to launch sneak attacks at night, and it is possible to defeat them. Icelandic garrison, take out the main British commander on the island.

I really don’t blame him for being so pessimistic, because since Churchill and the former army commander-in-chief died in London together, Alan Brook, who took over, has witnessed various failures: the fierce battle in North Africa finally ended with Germany’s victory, and the blockade of Iceland It also made his counterattack plan aborted. In the end, the Germans occupied a large area of ​​the Middle East, while the British were stuck in India and could not see any hope of victory.

The current situation is: Mountbatten has less and less British power in his hands, and the security and rule of the Indian region have begun to waver. At this time, counting on Mountbatten to continue to expand the army to hold the line of defense and prevent the German army from advancing, it seems that it is not much easier than directly retaking the British mainland. Patton did not perform miracles in India, so he could only return to India with Mountbatten to defend. The entire Indian peninsula had exhausted its hoard of weapons and materials.

Alan Brook finally bit the bullet and expressed his inner thoughts: "Then, Your Majesty, there is only one choice left. Is it possible to negotiate peace with the Germans? We admit defeat and hand over Partial sovereignty, for another..."

"Shut up! General Alan Brooke! I appointed you as the commander of the army, not to listen to your suggestion that I surrender! I want you to help me win this war! Do you understand? I count as..." George VI patted The table in front of him roared loudly.

But before he finished yelling, an officer hurried into the underground command center in Iceland with a telegram: "Your Majesty the King! Your Excellency Commander! The Germans! The Germans sent a message saying that they have developed Atomic weapons have been released! According to the intelligence, the power of an atomic weapon explosion can destroy a city!"

What George VI was about to say was abruptly interrupted by others. He looked at the other party angrily, and was confused by the words the other party shouted before he got angry. He subconsciously collected his emotions, then stared at the officer who delivered the news, frowned and asked, "You...what did you say? What weapon? Where did you hear the news?"

"Atomic weapons... that is, the kind of super weapon that our scientific advisor reported to you, that can change the course of the war." The officer looked at the Army Commander Alan Brook, who looked a bit ugly and didn't say a word, Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued to George VI: "It has been confirmed that many international dignitaries were brought to a secret experimental base by the German head of state, and witnessed the weapon experiments...but this news is still being confirmed, and the United States has also Got relevant information."

This is great news. If the Germans are the first to develop the super weapon that can shock the world, how can this war continue? If the war between the United States and Germany is over, what will happen to him, the British king? Being sent back to Germany as a nomination certificate? Or will he wander the streets of the United States and become an unknown person?

He didn't even want to think about these things, so he had to look at the Army Commander Alan Brook next to him, tried his best to soften his voice, and ordered: "Fully cooperate with the intelligence department to figure this out... Germany People have made such a big commotion, there must be news worthy of our concern! I want to know as soon as possible, the more comprehensive the better!"

"Obey! Your Majesty the King! As your army commander, I also want to ask you, if the Germans really have some powerful weapons that can threaten Iceland, as well as Canada... do you want to prepare and arrange a special envoy? To Germany or Israel?" Alan Brook asked cautiously.

"Sir! Sir! Your Majesty the King! Radio! Radio! Channel 1 in Germany... that man is giving a speech! Haha! It seems that Germany has been pissed off by the Japanese!" Before George VI could answer Alan Brook's question Then, another politician ran in and shouted excitedly at King George VI: "Maybe this is a turning point, maybe! Your Majesty!"

George VI felt that everyone was offending his majesty today, who would dare to interrupt him over and over again on weekdays? As a result, several people rushed in today, making him swallow half of what he said.

But he didn't have a seizure, controlled his emotions, walked to the radio, and turned the switch on it. So amidst the interference of electric currents, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice suddenly echoed: "I, the head of the Third Reich, hereby solemnly declare that the Axis powers used chemical weapons in violation of international law and violated humanity. Islamism and other crimes! Sentenced to death for 1,700 people including Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Itagaki of the Japanese military!... Now, soldiers of the Third Reich of Greater Germany, go and execute my sentence!"

"..." Shaking his body slightly, King George VI felt that he might collapse and passed out. His ancestors laid down a huge territory and left Britain with the title of a sun never sets! But he, after he took over the British Empire, the country fell apart, and the mainland was occupied by people. Now that powerful opponent has extended its tentacles to the Far East. Compared with the United Kingdom, this new opponent is more powerful. Like the real empire on which the sun never sets.

"Your Majesty the King! Your Majesty the King?" Alan Brook looked at George VI, who was a little out of his mind, and called out softly twice, and then brought the stunned king back to reality from the pain: "There is nothing else, then I Now it’s time to confirm the Germans’ secret weapons.”

"Don't be so troublesome... We can just wait here quietly. If an atomic bomb explodes in Japan, it will not be too late for us to take countermeasures!" George VI waved his hand and said to Alan Brook: "Just wait , what we have to do is to wait for the result of this news!"
