Chapter 415 Intercepting Information
The century-old navy, as an empire on which the sun never sets, although the United Kingdom has fallen, the navy still has a profound heritage.
This time the Scapa Flow was attacked, and the British Navy was considered to have lost half of its main warships, but it could not be regarded as a serious injury to its vitality. After all, a large number of sailors survived, they just lacked warships.
British shipyards should immediately switch to wartime status and manufacture warships in large quantities.
The United States will not refuse, unless the United States wants to see Germany unite the whole of Europe!
Churchill said the plan in his mind bit by bit. After he finished talking about the plan to restore the fleet, he continued to talk about the next plan.
"We also have to negotiate with the Norwegian government to allow our troops to enter Norway to help them resist a possible German attack," Churchill continued.
Churchill's eyes were very keen, and he had seen what Norway could do to Germany.
To the east of the North Sea is Norway, and to the west is Great Britain. If Germany wants to control the North Sea, it must control Norway. Now, we have to act quickly to win Norway over.
In this way, Great Britain and Norway united, still able to trap the German fleet.
At the same time, controlling Norway also helped to control the export of iron ore in Sweden.
Sweden's iron ore is exported through Norwegian ports in the cold winter, and a large part of it goes to Germany.
Control Germany, make Germany unable to obtain various raw materials, and trap Germany!
Churchill, speaking in a series of his various plans, and Chamberlain is nothing in comparison.
The people present were already quite dissatisfied with Chamberlain. Now, Germany has finally taken a seat. All this is inseparable from Chamberlain's appeasement!
Now, without Chamberlain's decision, everyone else agreed with Churchill's plan, yes, it should be done!
Churchill looked at his colleagues with satisfaction. Not long ago, Churchill was hated by these guys, but now, after discovering the threat from Germany, they immediately changed their views and began to support Churchill!
"Finally, we want to issue a strongly worded statement." Churchill said: "We condemn this undeclared war by the Germans, our country will enter a state of war, and we will restore Germany to its original shape, fight Go back to the end of World War I! We, we will not be afraid of war!"
Britain has declared war, but Germany has not yet declared war on Britain and France. It started without a declaration of war. This kind of behavior is the worst. How could the aristocratic officers corps agree with the madman Cyric to do such a thing Come?
In particular, the German navy even shelled its own cities! To start with civilians, they really dare to do it!
Churchill was outraged.
Britain will be very angry, and this anger will be transformed into motivation to win a new war!
Just when Churchill used a roaring tone to end this cabinet meeting, which was almost dominated by him, the door was pushed open, and a captain hurried in.
In the British military system, the captain is not a small rank, but the general captain does not have the right to directly enter the cabinet meeting.
However, the captain who came in now is not ordinary, because he is the head of MI5, Captain Kyle.
The United Kingdom, an old country, has realized the importance of intelligence in the war for thousands of years, and the modern British intelligence system started from the security service agency.
Kyle has devoted his life to the intelligence system. During the First World War, he successfully brought down the German spy network in Britain and made a great contribution to preventing the outflow of important intelligence.
In 1931, he was appointed general head of the security service. This year, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant.
Kyle was born in 1893 and is now nearly fifty years old. He is also a very wise man. Now, he came in in a hurry, of course, he had an important intelligence report.
"Kyle, what's the matter?" Churchill asked when he saw Kyle walk in.
Unexpectedly, Kyle did not pay attention to him, but went to Chamberlain and said to Chamberlain: "Prime Minister, our intelligence system has intercepted an important piece of information, please allow me to report to you privately."
Kyle's words made Churchill in the back instantly annoyed.
Right things and not people.
As the head of the intelligence agency, Kyle is directly responsible to the Prime Minister. If there is any major information, the Prime Minister will be notified first. After that, even if the Prime Minister informs others, it is not his responsibility.
Kyle has always been conscientious and abiding by the rules. He doesn't know that his small negligence now makes his final ending very sad.
Churchill is not a good person. Churchill likes submissive subordinates, especially those who master intelligence agencies. If they are unfaithful to him, how can they lead?
Historically, Kyle was ousted in 1940 by Churchill, who had just become prime minister, and died two years later.
And now, Kyle has planted the curse.
"Prime Minister Chamberlain, under the current circumstances, as members of the cabinet, we should be qualified to know all kinds of intelligence?" Churchill asked Chamberlain.
Churchill has been very embarrassed over the years. He was promoted by Chamberlain to become the Lord of the Navy, but now, Churchill is about to force the palace.
Hearing Churchill's words, Chamberlain, who has always liked appeasement, immediately compromised with Churchill: "Of course, Kyle, you can say it directly."
Hearing Chamberlain's words, Kyle looked at everyone present, his throat squirmed a few times, but he still said: "We intercepted all the plans of Germany to invade France. This plan is almost the same as the Schlieffen plan."
"Germany has prepared two armies, divided into two army groups, north and south, code-named Army Group A and Army Group B." "The main force of the German armored group is located in Army Group A in the north, with the purpose of capturing the vast seaward land in northern France. , in order to prepare to fight against our country. Head on to attack Belgium and the Netherlands, and confront our main forces of Britain and France head-on."
The Schlieffen plan was a plan during the First World War. At that time, his plan failed because there were not enough mobile troops, but now, the German mechanized troops have been developed, and the implementation of this plan will hardly be shackled.
Germans are ready! Fortunately, we intercepted this plan ahead of time.
However, after hearing this plan, everyone present still felt sweat oozing from their backs, World War II is about to break out!
