Chapter 471 Churchill without a Beard

Saving people is a matter of principle.

Is it worth it if you risk your own life in order to save people? Although the halo of a hero hangs on the back and is worshipped by thousands of people, what is the use?

Ike was still trying his best to persuade that it was time to let go and let these people fend for themselves.

As the captain, Prien is certainly not the kind of stubborn person, he knows that now his own side will also be in danger.

However, this further strengthened his judgment, these people are very useful!

As a soldier, you only need to faithfully execute orders, but as a commander, a visionary senior commander, you must have a strategic vision!

The war in Europe has started again. This war is related to the future destiny of Germany. It can only succeed, not fail!

And can Germany succeed? One of the important aspects is whether the United States is in the war! The United States, far from Europe, has a geographical location that gives Americans a unique sense of superiority.

If the United States continued to support Britain behind its back, it would undoubtedly be detrimental to Germany's conquest of Britain.

The United States has issued a statement that it will not participate in the affairs of the Old World, but now, these people must be secretly helping the United Kingdom, and sending these people back to Germany in good condition, the head of state must be useful!

Now, these people are precious and a favorable evidence for the United States to give up its commitment and privately interfere in Europe. If these people are made public, the United States will definitely oppose this despicable behavior of the government!

So, be sure to send these people back!

"No, we can't give up," Priyan said. "We have to bring these people back to Germany intact."

Ike stomped his feet twice, not knowing what to say, and then he heard Prien say to the radio operator: "Turn the radio to the international public channel, clear code."

The radio operator carried out the order, and Prien put on his earphones, and he spoke in fluent English over the screeching radio.

"British reconnaissance plane, British reconnaissance plane, attention, this is a German submarine, we're on a humanitarian rescue mission right now, we're on a humanitarian rescue mission, we've searched and rescued some British survivors at sea and are preparing to send them to Go somewhere safe and abide by international conventions."

In the Anson patrol plane overhead, the captain, Sergeant Hancock, received this communication. He listened to the voice in the earphone and knew that what the Germans said should be true.

The submarine was in a floating state, and even if its own patrol plane found it, it did not dive. At the same time, there were many people on the deck of the submarine, with rescue boats towing behind them.

This is not a German submarine in combat mode, it is indeed humanitarian relief, but...

He knew that his own torpedo plane was already on the way and would arrive in an hour. Now, should he abandon this attack?

"Ask your superiors," Hancock said to the radio operator on his plane. "Tell them that this German submarine is being rescued."

Although the Germans are hateful, this submarine indeed rescued its own crew!

The message sent by Hancock's Anson patrol plane was quickly transmitted back to Great Britain, and the news was reported quickly, and finally, it arrived in front of Churchill.

Holding his cigar, Churchill frowned. In front of him was the head of MI5, Captain Kyle.

"The Germans' attack in Belgium and the Netherlands was a feint. Their real goal was to penetrate the Ardennes Forest?" Churchill knew that the situation was quite serious. You could tell by looking at the map. It came out of the Ardennes Forest. The German army was just able to circle behind its own side and completely surround itself.

There are all the British Expeditionary Forces, the main force of the French army!

"Yes, we have confirmed that the Ardennes forest is interspersed with the German Waffen SS Panzer Division, led by Cyric's most trusted General Guderian." Captain Kyle said.

"That is to say, the German battle plan we intercepted before, the yellow plan, is completely wrong. The Germans deliberately confuse us and move our troops to northern France, but they came out from the east. Our D The plan was carried out according to the wrong plan of the Germans, Captain Kyle, our intelligence system is really disappointing to me!"

Churchill was quite disappointed with Captain Kyle. This time, Captain Kyle was directly responsible for his own mistakes!

If the Expeditionary Force is destroyed, it will be the end of Britain!

Captain Kyle didn't say a word. He knew that Churchill had always disliked him. This time, he was indeed wrong. But, as a senior commander, don't you have your own judgment?

Churchill smoked a cigar and fixedly looked at the map: "Actually, in the direction of Belgium and the Netherlands, the Germans can't be considered a feint. Even if we transfer the main force of the army, we can't stop the Germans. It seems that we must Prepare for the worst."

Churchill saw it very clearly. If there was only a war in the direction of Belgium and the Netherlands, he could still resist desperately, but now, the situation has been completely reversed.

That idiot Cammelin didn't keep a reserve team, how could he stop the German main force coming out of the Ardennes Forest?

Now, the most important thing is not how to win, but how to save one's own army.

Don't play with the French. Now, the British Expeditionary Force must be quickly withdrawn and returned to Great Britain. Those who remain on French territory are the main British troops!

If consumed in France, the situation in England will be troublesome!

This idea became stronger and stronger in his heart. Although this is not enough friends for France, who made Cammelin so mentally retarded? Falling into the trap of the Germans, at this time, I can only take care of myself first.

Churchill's hand touched his mouth. These days, he didn't even have time to shave, and the stubble should have grown a lot.

However, when he touched it again today, he felt extremely smooth, and he was immediately puzzled, what happened? What about your beard?

Before I could think about anything more, I saw Andrew, the Chief of Naval Staff, hurried in and said to him: "Prime Minister, our maritime reconnaissance plane has found the crew of our wrecked Navasota."

Churchill had asked about the Navasota, and he was more concerned. Now, after hearing the news, he shifted his thoughts from the European battlefield and asked, "Where are they? Are they still alive?"

"On a German submarine, the submarine is now floating and heading northeast. Our reconnaissance plane has been following it, and the torpedo plane is also on the way," Andrew said.

On the German submarines! Hearing this news, Captain Kyle was also surprised. The people on the ship included MI5 and many soldiers from the United States. Now, they are all in German hands!

"The submarine, they said they were on a humanitarian rescue mission." Andrew continued: "Now, what should we do?"

After taking two cigars, Churchill said firmly: "Sink it! Immediately, immediately!"
