Chapter 821 Visiting the UK

In this era, most of them are still manual work, and the application of mechanization is quite small. The speed of the German engineer unit once again demonstrated Germany's capabilities to the world.

At the same time, this is also because Germany can't wait, the United Kingdom has already been defeated, and Cyric has long wanted to come to London for a walk, but as a result, there are floods everywhere, making Cyric wait and wait until now.

Edward VIII was instantly overjoyed. Since he took office, the first thing he did was to rebuild the barrage and subdue the flooding tide. These tides were all left over by George VI!

In this way, Edward VIII's first national event has come to an end.

"His Majesty the King, Head of State Cyric will visit the UK tomorrow. This is our top priority at the moment, and we must greet him with the highest standards," said Baron Morris.

At the same time, they also received the news that Cyric was coming to England, which was even more important to them. After the surrender, the new master came for the first time!

"Yes, we must meet with the highest standards." Edward VIII said: "In this way, I will lead the team, and we will personally go to the airport to meet the visiting Head of State Cyric."

Generally speaking, foreign reception is a matter for the foreign minister, and the king can meet him at the palace. Now, the king will personally go to the airport to meet him, and the treatment is of course high enough.

"As for the security work, the German side is responsible for it, so we don't have to worry about it." Hobert said quietly on the side.

Now, it is still the Germans who control all key departments in the UK. This time Cyric's visit is like walking in the back garden of his own house. The most important security work is of course the responsibility of the Germans themselves. , and, for Cyric's itinerary, it will not be disclosed to the British side in advance.

Cyric's visit is of great significance. His visit represents Germany's official announcement that Britain has surrendered to Germany's feet!

Cyric was still on the Atlantic No. 1 passenger plane. Although the flight range of the passenger plane was too large for his trip, Cyric still likes to travel on this kind of passenger plane. Especially, the current passenger plane, It has been transformed into a presidential plane, which is more comfortable to ride.

Cyric looked out the window. A dozen FW190s were escorting him to avoid the ending of Yamamoto fifty-six in later generations.

Now, Cyric is the hero and leader of Germany, and at the same time, he is also the public enemy of the conquered country. He never expects to rely on probation to make everyone surrender. That kind of stubbornness will always exist. For such people , the best way is to make him disappear!

"Hannah, you look so excited." Cyric said to the woman beside him.

For more than ten years, Hannah has been silently by Cyric's side, from a young girl to a young woman. After many separations, Hannah has been silently waiting. Now, with the development of Cyric's career. Continuing to expand, Hannah also retreated more and more to the back. Only in her spare time will she silently think about the past, thinking about India and the Libyan desert, and she feels incomparably sweet.

On this state visit, Cyric brought his wife and Hannah to the UK.

Hearing Cyric's words, Hannah couldn't help leaning her body against Cyric: "Yes, my dear, I really want to go shopping in Oxford Street."

Women's nature, even if they become the wife of the head of state, become the most powerful person in the world, there is still a tradition of liking shopping.

"Well, if I have time, I will show you." Cyric said.

While speaking, the passenger plane had already flown across the strait and landed at London International Airport.

When getting out of the plane, the red carpet was already laid, and Edward VIII took the queen, various nobles, and a group of people to wait at the airport.

There are no more people to welcome. At this time, it is enough to hold a small ceremony, but it is not possible to invite a large number of people to welcome them in order to exaggerate the atmosphere. What if there is an outlier?

"Führer Cyric, ma'am, welcome you here." Edward VIII came up to shake hands.

"I am delighted to be in the UK," said Cyric. "Although the UK has taken many wrong paths in the past, I firmly believe that under the leadership of King Edward VIII, the UK will move towards a more brilliant tomorrow. The UK will be a loyal ally of Germany like France, and let's work together to build a strong Europe!"

Where is the applause?

Everyone applauded. Although what Cyric said was a cliché, it also showed Cyric's attitude. Moreover, these people present were really optimistic about the future of Britain. Otherwise, they would follow Edward VIII. What is the world doing?

"Führer Cyric, a grand welcome banquet has been prepared for you at the palace." The queen also stepped forward and said.

"We'll go to the palace later," Cyric said. "Let's go to the Bank of England first."

Hearing Cyric's words, the nobles below were stunned for a moment. Only Edward VIII reacted quickly. Cyric is going to the Bank of England, I am afraid that he is going to announce that big event!

That's fine, so that you don't have to raise it yourself and cause the following objections. With a word from the head of Cyric, who would dare to raise objections?

Get on the special car and head all the way to Needlework Street, where is the headquarters of the Bank of England.

In the UK, this bank has the right to issue the British currency. If we talk about history, it has been hundreds of years.

In the earliest days, the British royal family had a vault and mint, where the rich would store gold and silver. One of the royal family's misdeeds was refusing to honor the gold coins that people kept there.

As a result, the merchants quit, and eventually the merchants gave birth to the Bank of England, which specialized in doing business with the royal family and avoided being pitted by the royal family.

After years of development, the Bank of England has become the central bank of the United Kingdom, monopolizing the country's currency issuance rights, and now the United Kingdom still has the halo of an empire on which the sun never sets, and the pound area occupies at least a quarter of the world's area.

At the very least, the Bank of England has been pretty empty, or rather, its gold reserves, almost depleted.

In the past few years, the British economy has not developed very much. When the war came, the money was spent in a whirlwind. When it came to Germany, it was almost exhausted. If the British had money, they would directly use the money to buy the Soviet Union. And the United States is enough, there is no need to exchange the interests of the colonies.

As for the remaining gold, it has disappeared. When the German army occupied London and took control of the Bank of England by the momentum of the tide, the bank was already empty.

And the person in charge of this bank has also disappeared. Now the person in charge of this bank is only a young man in his thirties, Sir Tucker.

Sitting in his chair, boredly playing a one-man card game, Sir Tucker suddenly heard the sound of a car outside. He stuck his head out of the window and saw a large number of German soldiers, getting out of the car. jump down.

what happened? He was suddenly shocked.

Then, these soldiers began to stand guard, blocking the streets, and the commanding heights of the nearby buildings were also occupied by them.

It seems that there is a big man coming! Then, the phone on his desk rang.
