Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 225: Surrender (End)

Chamberlain agreed to come forward to form a cabinet, and the basis for negotiations between Germany and Britain was basically established at this time. The rest is that the two sides are whispering against each other under the guidance of a recognized framework. Of course, they are not borderless. After all, the victory of the war has been determined, and Germany will never give up a point on issues involving the level of German national interests.

The British are still convening members of the Parliament to determine the candidates for the new cabinet. The Germans initially thought that those politicians who were profitable would definitely retreat, because the task of this temporary cabinet was to negotiate with the German government to sign a surrender agreement. Work, according to convention, will definitely resign and be disbanded, and then will be cursed by the people for fifty or sixty years because of the signing of those decent treaties.

Chamberlain can be carefree, because he has run out of time, the former empire prime minister now wholeheartedly wants to complete this mission before he dies, which he thinks is God’s mission to him, when he represented the British Empire government to Germany Declare war, so only he is the most qualified and the most responsible to end this **** and brutal European war.

What surprised the Germans was that the British politicians did not despise this thankless job, and even fiercely contested the position of the temporary cabinet until everything was settled, and when the British government regrouped in the future German talents found that these parliamentarians who had established good relations with Germany in the negotiations became the most popular candidates in the cabinet, which made the Germans sigh. When it comes to playing with political means, the British are indeed well-known and experienced.

On the afternoon of the day when Weiller visited Chamberlain, the BBC in London used all the bands of her subordinates to issue a notice to the whole of the UK, requesting that all British citizens who listened to this broadcast waited at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Before radio and cable broadcasts, His Majesty George VI will deliver important speeches to all British citizens.

In fact, at this time, the British people have basically guessed the content of the King's speech. To be honest, they have already been psychologically prepared for this. At this time, most ordinary people in the British mainland gave up the idea of ​​continuing the battle, except for some who could not turn their heads for a while.

This war did not bring a little benefit to the British people from the beginning, on the contrary as the British army was defeated again and again. People have received only endless suffering in the war. The enemy is so powerful that people cannot see the slightest hope of winning the war. Germany’s devastating airstrikes on southern coastal towns exacerbated people’s fears, as millions of southern coastal refugees withdrew north. It even spread rumors of the invincible German army to every town and village in northern England.

So much so that when the public learned that Dover was losing, the Royal Navy's homeland fleet was defeated, and the German Army's iron hooves had set foot on the homeland, the defeatist ideas and war weariness in the United Kingdom began to rise rapidly among the people, demanding to stop this stupid and cruel The call for negotiations between Germany and Germany to start negotiations was clamoring for a while. Although the British government agencies around the country used the national machine to make an effort to suppress. The result was only to force people to move their activities underground, and when news of London's occupation came, even the military and police began to fall to the people's side.

When I heard the announcement from the radio, many people found that they did not feel the excitement they expected. On the contrary, many people became calmer. Although they have some bitterness and unwillingness in their hearts, they can only accept this now. In fact, in any case, it is finally possible to let go of the burden that has been on my heart.

The German war will no longer burn to the north of Britain. This is a matter of greatest concern to the Scots. When the exact news came, many residents of Scottish cities even launched spontaneous celebrations. The people were so happy that it was not their defeat.

This afternoon, the entire British mainland was boiling. People put down their jobs and ran around in the villages and towns. The gentry called friends in the cafe, exchanging news from their respective channels while tasting afternoon tea. All kinds of messy news, true or false, are spreading among the crowd. At this moment, even some people who have never been to London can vividly talk to people about how German soldiers occupied the Tower of London.

In general. At present, mainstream British public opinion is favorable to Germany, which makes Weierle, who has important responsibilities, relieved. However, he will not relax the control of the British media. He must ensure that the public opinion on the market will not fluctuate or change much before the agreement is signed.

To this end he summoned all the media bosses on the Fleet Street and the editor-in-chief of major newspapers. He reached a deal with the trembling uncrowned kings, as long as they can promote the public to ease the negative impression and resistance to the German army, the German government will give them certain conveniences and privileges in the German controlled area, and will no longer pursue them Those remarks that offended the German government, the army, and the great head of state have to be aware that these harsh words are enough to send them to concentration camps.

The uncrowned kings are all conscious of current affairs. Few people have the bone and the cold bayonet. The editors-in-chief of the newspapers felt that the pressure had become great. Because the Germans are very explicit threats, which article's article is wrong, they are the first to be arrested.

The British wartime news control office was fully taken over by the German intelligence department. For the convenience of work, the Germans used all the original employees. These people have very rich experience in the control of public opinion in the UK, especially the former cabinet news secretary Mr. Cooper He came forward to express his willingness to personally supervise this work, ensuring that it will not cause trouble for the future signing of the two-nation agreement.

In general, the work went very smoothly. Weiller spent a daytime effort to sort out the original mess, except for leaving a part that was obviously useful to Germany. All the questions were thrown to Chamberlain, believing that he had a way to get on with this mess, Weierle did not have the leisure to listen to them there.

With regard to the disposal of the United Kingdom, this had caused considerable disputes in the headquarters. Brauchic and a group of old defense force generals they represented, most of them personally participated in the First World War. Many of their friends and family were killed in that war. They were all members of the 100,000 army after the war. The looting and destruction of Germany, the depression and misery of the post-war Weimar period, they were full of disgust and hatred for the allies of the Allies, the initiators of all these tragedies, especially the dominant United Kingdom.

Therefore, for the disposal of the United Kingdom, the old guys mostly advocate the use of teeth for blood for blood. How did Britain humiliate and suppress Germany in those years? Now Germany should return it tenfold and hundredfold. These veterans not only demanded the complete disarmament of Britain, but also plundered the wealth of this country and destroyed the war potential of this country. From the foundation, to eliminate all opportunities to make the British come back, the ultimate goal is to turn her into a third-rate or even fourth-rate country, so that she no longer has the ability to make troubles in European affairs.

The other faction is the so-called prudent faction headed by Yoder. Their opinion is that the existing forces of the German army simply cannot accomplish the above goals. The operational difficulty is not less than any current battle. He specifically pointed out that Britain also has a large number of overseas territories and affiliated countries. Unless the Germans continue to capture these areas, there is no way to destroy the British war potential. He reminded his colleagues in the headquarters that Britain still has a large number of overseas troops, and the Royal Navy still has several colonial fleets that are not weak. Once the British are rushed, waiting for Germany will be a protracted war. The price will be unbearable for Germany.

He believes that in view of the current situation, Germany's best option is to close as soon as it sees it. Perhaps a strong attitude can be used to seize a large number of benefits from the British, but it must be controlled within the British's psychological tolerance. A one-time solution looks tempting. But this prey is too large for the present-day Germany, and swallowing it will only hurt your stomach. He believes that Germany will definitely become stronger in the future, and then there will be a lot of time to slowly erode and weaken the power of Britain, and one day the expectations of Brauchich and others can be fulfilled.

In the end, Xu Jun came forward to stop the dispute between the two factions. He made it clear that on this issue he tended to the view of the sound. However, this does not mean that he will be soft on the issue of Britain. The British must be held responsible for the defeat. The punishment imposed will never be reduced.

Now that the head of state has made a final decision, the basic tone of the German government has been determined, and Xu Jun praised Yoder who made comments. He would not tell others. Yodel is really just his answering bug. He needs someone to stand up and divert the attention of the generals to alleviate their doubts and dissatisfaction with the British treatment plan. At that time, the generals will only think that Yoder blocked the revenge from the United Kingdom. action. It will not point the finger at the real handsome head of the heads behind the scenes.

At six o'clock in the afternoon on August 29, after the Germans completely occupied London for twenty hours, King George VI of the United Kingdom read an edict to all the people on the British Radio. He declared to all the people of the British Empire, with the sacred kingship given to him by God and the power given to him by the British Constitution, that as the supreme ruler of the British Empire, he acknowledged that Britain had been defeated in this war.

At the same time he announced that the wartime cabinet had completed the mission entrusted to them by history. In the name of the King of England, he announced the immediate dissolution of the current parliament and re-elected elections at the same time. At the same time, he appointed Chamberlain as the Prime Minister to form a temporary cabinet to start peace talks with the German government.

In addition, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the British Armed Forces, he ordered all armed forces belonging to the British Empire to immediately cease all military operations and end the state of war with Germany. The British armed forces and armed civilians within the real control of Germany immediately ceased hostilities and handed over weapons to the nearest German army, or disarmed themselves at the station.

At the end of his speech, George VI expressed his condolences to the subjects who sacrificed in this war, and thanked the countless imperial citizens who made selfless dedication in this war. From this moment on, the European war, which lasted almost a year, has finally come to an end, and the world will usher in the dawn of peace.
