Chapter 948 D-Day (10)

The three major military chiefs are very disdainful of the US military. This disdain is not only because the US military's performance on the battlefield is as messed up as ever, and they are jokingly called "the Italians on our side" by the British. When the Italian army slowly improves under the support and guidance of Germany, When it comes to promotion, the British even believe that the US military ranks last among the major powers, China. In the Battle of Iceland, 30,000 German troops fought against 60,000 US troops. After hearing that Rommel was leading the troops, no one in Britain was optimistic that the US troops could win. They even believed that as long as the Germans successfully landed, the Battle of Iceland would be declared over. The development of the incident was as expected. .

The British high-level dissatisfaction with the US military also lies in the poor military discipline of the US military. This kind of bad behavior is not robbery or theft, which are clearly stipulated violations of military orders, but the poisoning of the British social atmosphere by the US military - which is simply intolerable in the eyes of conservatives.

Before the Battle of Iceland and the large-scale German air raids, Britain had been calm for nearly a year, and all aspects of social life had initially returned to calm. This was particularly evident in the spring of 1944, when the famous Hyde Park in London became a "sexual battlefield" for Americans. ". Every night after the wartime blackout began, the streets of London were deserted and most Londoners went home to sleep, but the nightlife in Piccadilly Circus in London's West End had just begun. The American soldiers came out of the nightclubs and bars near the garrison camp, all staggering around, and their "sexuality" was high. There were young English girls waiting for them on every street corner.

American soldiers will stop once they hit their target. At this time, the girls would take out matches and light them to let the other party see their faces clearly, and then look down to let the other party see their legs wearing high socks, because American soldiers like girls wearing socks. Then the price is negotiated (usually about 3 pounds), and under the cover of a military coat (just suitable for the time when it is warm and cold, it can be spread and covered), the transaction is quickly completed. The girls went off to find their next target. Londoners called these warriors "Piccadilly Warriors." U.S. military officers have a much higher style and look down on sluts. They prefer to go to high-end residential areas in London, where women in fur coats are waiting for them.

The phenomenon in London's West End was so severe that Police Commissioner Cole called it an "American colony" in his report. Every morning the cleaners picked up baskets of discarded goods. An American soldier wrote in a letter: "We are opening a 'second battlefield'. I cannot describe the sights and sounds of Hyde Park after nightfall. You can imagine it." It has become a huge ‘sexual battlefield’.”

As the blockade in the United Kingdom becomes more and more serious, the situation has not been curbed, but has become more and more serious. The British people are suffering from a lack of supplies due to the blockade. Because the U.S. military has a dedicated supply team, material needs can always be met. Prioritizing satisfaction, later on, these flesh and blood businesses evolved into material exchanges, and more and more British girls were involved in them. At first, it was just to improve their living conditions, but later it became a necessity to maintain their lives.

At first, American soldiers would give girls chocolates, nylon stockings, scented soap and other "luxury goods". Later, a pack of cigarettes and a military ration could be exchanged for a night for the girls. This is why the old-school aristocrats believed that the Americans were destroying the country, and that the Germans occupied France and poured into Paris, but apart from the occasional violation of discipline, they did not bother to do such obscene things. As for countries such as Norway and Denmark occupied by Germany, although there was great political pressure, German soldiers were very polite and polite to ordinary people.

They believed that the Americans had destroyed Iceland and were now destroying Great Britain.

The situation in real history was far more serious than it is now. Now this phenomenon only exists in London and several major cities. Before the Normandy landing, there were at most 1.5 million US troops stationed in the UK. The "*****" was even more powerful. It's huge. One-third of the 5.3 million babies born in the UK from 1939 to 1945 were illegitimate, and a considerable number were left behind by American soldiers. Rumor has it that there are no less than 800,000.

How to rationally and legally eliminate these "plagues" became the biggest headache for the three major military leaders. In the end, they adopted Churchill's policy of "fake coup, real disarmament" and decided to use this excuse to reasonably and legally disarm the US military.

Just as the British were making careful arrangements, the Americans were not idle either. In order to implement the "D-Day" plan originally agreed upon, Donovan took out his ace troops - famous for their elite and infiltration behind enemy lines. Task Force 101.

Historically, this force was originally deployed in the Myanmar theater to cooperate with Britain and the United States in counterattacks and to cultivate a Kachin team. However, now the entire Indian Ocean is firmly controlled by Japan. There are hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops in the battlefields of India and Myanmar. , the British troops could only linger on it. The US Army Air Force and the remaining troops had already retreated to Chongqing. After the Delhi War, the last group to retreat was the Chinese Communist Military Observer Group. They flew back to the country under the arrangement of British aircraft. The war experience and friendship with the British side still left a third of the loss.

These losses were either due to acclimatization, or they were directly covered by fierce artillery fire on the front line, or they were seriously injured during the transfer process and could not be treated in time and ultimately sacrificed, or they led some teams to try to recruit guerrillas to establish a guerrilla zone and ultimately failed. More than ten people were lost in the battle to defend Calcutta, which made Chen Geng shed tears. These people could at least be leaders of the main force when they returned, but they didn't expect to bury their bones in a foreign country. Fortunately, I gritted my teeth and persevered and successfully completed the task. Before sending the CCP military inspection team away, the British disassembled a few communications equipment and a set of radars and gave them to the CCP to express their gratitude to them for fighting side by side.

Donovan also didn't want to waste his troops and die. He originally wanted to see if there were any opportunities to penetrate behind enemy lines in Europe, but he didn't expect the British to take on such a hot task. But both he and the "Spider" who came to contact believed that Task Force 101 was the most suitable team to carry out this kind of mission.

After Churchill said a few words, the audience burst into boos and jeers:

"Come on, Winston, stop bragging...your manuscript is the same as it was three years ago. It can be used at another time. There is nothing new at all."

"Are you still going to fight on the landing grounds, in the fields, in the mountains, in the streets, declaring that you will never surrender at any time? Want to emphasize that 'even if the whole British island or most of the land is occupied, we are hungry and cold, all of us The overseas empire, armed and protected by the British fleet, will also continue to fight? 'Now that the opportunity has come, have you fulfilled your oath to fight in Canada?"

"Winston, why don't you go to Canada and kneel down to lick your American master? The British Empire has been disgraced by you!"

Churchill, whose speech was repeatedly interrupted, looked livid. When the crowd was buzzing, a large group of armed men suddenly rushed in.

"Everyone, stop moving, raise your hands!"

"Ah..." Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the congressmen screamed, and the whole place was in chaos. Someone tried to escape, but was blocked by the cold muzzle of the gun.

Brooke, Porter, Pound and others exchanged glances and let out a long breath, which seemed to say: "Damn, it's finally here. If you don't come, today's matter will be a big deal. Churchill will finish his speech." Judging from the scene, the result of the vote is definitely removal, so how can it continue? "

Some well-informed members of Congress knew that some high-level government officials were going to Canada, but very few knew about the coup. Now that this situation occurred, everyone thought that their plan to escape to Canada had been discovered, and that the government was arranging force to deter them, so they immediately scolded several military generals.

Pound did not defend himself, and immediately stepped forward and scolded Task Force 101: "Assholes, who let you in, get out!"

"Are you Marshal Pound?" The leader was Director Donovan's confidant, Major Carl Effler, the captain of Task Force 101. He said coldly, "I heard that you led the coup and wanted to hijack the Prime Minister through conspiracy. Go to Canada with the King and try to make peace with Germany alone?"

Pound sneered: "Winston asked you to come, right? Are you still doing these useless struggles when things get tough?"

"Someone is coming..."

"Guards..."

But surprisingly, even after Pound shouted several times, no one came out to respond.

This made the three major military leaders a little anxious. According to common sense, this is not the way to go. Churchill sent troops to break in. Pound stepped forward to scold him. Then, after giving the order, the pre-arranged guards probably rushed out, and then the two sides faced off - because it was impossible for the Parliament to arrange it. There are a lot of people, and the coup is originally a secret operation. If there are too many people, what will happen if the congressmen explode first?

After the confrontation was over, the United States "hijacked" Churchill and the King to retreat from the airport, and then left on a prearranged plane. But what happened now was unexpected.

Pang De was angry and anxious, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Damn bastards, what do you want to do?"

"I'm sorry, I'm a U.S. military special forces unit, here on orders from your government to hunt down coup elements."

"By order, whose order?" Pound turned his head anxiously, as if asking Churchill with his eyes: "What on earth is going on?"

"You don't need to ask. Since you were the first to make a coup, you can only offend me and take him away!"

After Pound, Brooke, Porter and others were all taken away. They all stared at Churchill with angry eyes.

"Winston, this will never end well for you!"

Churchill shrugged helplessly, with an imperceptible smile on his lips...
