Imperial Overlord

The German rockets seemed to make up the last piece when building blocks. The German army suddenly had strong firepower, which caused more trouble to the British army.

Churchill and all his officials were now overwhelmed, they knew that the German army was now only a day or two away from London, the capital of the British Empire, and now it was really a front line.

This means that the German troops have no way to quickly maneuver their own troops through the strait. If they can, weapons such as the K5 train gun may have begun to bombard London...

At this moment Churchill, with his army commander-in-chief Sir Dill, stood before King George VI, explaining the problems brought about by the defeat of the 1st Army.

"You mean, the German army is already on its way to London?" Frowning, the British king's tone of voice was not so friendly.

Now George VI is scolding the streets in his heart, because he was originally a wallist, not a complete iron king.

In his thinking, if they can't beat it, they should honestly seek peace. And Churchill and the Duke of Hamilton and others played with diplomacy and played with Germany, which eventually led to the current tragic situation. In his opinion, it was completely the work of bastards.

"They stopped at a distance of about 20 kilometers from London, and our troops are organizing a new line of defense." Sir Dill looked at His Majesty the King and said bravely.

The future Queen Elizabeth was still a little girl at this time. She stood beside her father, watching several gray-faced ministers, talking about the worst foreign invasion in British history.

"The 2nd Army has given up part of the line of defense and is gathering towards the London line. The 3rd Army has been strengthened to the 1st Army, and we swear to prevent the enemy from entering London." Churchill could only make his promise to His Majesty in the past once again. .

It is a pity that his promises are now worthless at all: he promised that the Germans would never win, and now the Germans have won again and again; he promised that the Germans cannot threaten the British mainland, but the Germans are already in London down town...

Sure enough, after hearing Churchill's remarks, King George VI of England became even more annoyed: "Yesterday, you said that the Germans would never cross Maidstone! But now it is a German city!"

Originally, the King of England had no power over wars. The royal family is more often like a mascot, similar to a symbol.

But now, when it is about whether his country can continue or not, the power of the king is infinitely magnified. Anyway, this country is nominally owned by His Majesty the King...

What he didn't know was that by the time he questioned Churchill, German troops had taken control of many areas and towns along the lines of the 2nd Army's withdrawal.

Many towns were deserted, and many chose to leave with the troops to escape the brutal German rule.

German troops occupied a large area of ​​southern England, including Eastbourne, without a single shot. Now the focus of the German offensive is on Chatham and along the coastline all the way to Brighton.

Hof, Worthing... All the way along the coast, the German troops will soon be able to occupy Portsmouth. After occupying there, the so-called English Channel barrier of the British army completely disappeared.

"What's the best way to stop the German attack now?" Eventually, the topic of the conversation returned to a real issue.

In the UK today, most people have begun to shake. Everyone hopes that the war can be ended as soon as possible, rather than continue to persist.

As long as the German army is willing to withdraw from the British mainland, then the United Kingdom is willing to give up most of its colonies, and even some naval warships, to make all-round compensation to Germany.

Regrettably, the Führer and his high-ranking commanders have closed all communication channels since the German landing. Even if Britain wants to compromise, there is no way to communicate now.

Germany doesn't seem to have any intention of negotiating with Britain now, they have been on the offensive all the time without any delay.

"What do they want? If they want to station troops in the UK, that's all they have to do! Anyway, they've already called, haven't they?" King George VI asked a very realistic question.

Previously, the United Kingdom scoffed at the conditions for the German army to station troops in the British mainland, because abandoning the English Channel was a fool's practice.

But now that the Germans themselves have crossed the English Channel, to continue to struggle with the issue of whether or not to garrison troops at this time has become downright self-deception.

Therefore, agreeing to the conditions of the Germans, letting them stop advancing and sign a peace treaty, is more in the interest of Britain at this stage than fighting the Germans.

As for whether the shame of today should be washed away in the future, and whether the lost place can be recovered now, it depends on the development of national strength in the future.

Being defeated in Europe is not a terrible thing. As long as you win the next war, you can almost get back the price you paid before.

Churchill heard the words of George VI and knew that the king or many people behind the king had already moved to make peace with Germany.

He also had to admit that if he continued to resist now, he was completely draining the country's Essence and Blood Strait advantage. The colonies were all far away, and now Britain was powerless to continue fighting.

"We are trying to resume communication with the German army, and hope they can accept our terms of peace talks." Churchill glanced at the foreign secretary beside him and explained.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also nodded and introduced to His Majesty the King: "As long as the German army is willing to negotiate, we have many concessions that can make the other party feel our sincerity."

In order to satisfy the German army, the foreign service drew up a treaty that was enough to humiliate the country. They thought that anyone who saw such a condition would immediately sign the contract.

Britain ceded its colonies in India and the Middle East, recognizing them as permanent German ownership. The treaties signed by the United Kingdom and these regions will transfer ownership to Germany.

At the same time, in order to balance the strength between the two countries, the British Navy is willing to hand over 5 battleships, 20 cruisers and 40 destroyers to Germany.

This strength is almost the property of most of the British home fleet. Even including the British H fleet, the United Kingdom has taken out almost half of its savings.

A treaty of friendship and commerce was signed between the two countries, allowing any German vessel to sail freely in the English Channel.

The British allowed the German garrison, but the garrison area was moved to the Wall Peninsula. The area is almost three times the size of the now occupied German territory.

In addition, the United Kingdom has tens of millions of pounds of war reparations every year, which has been paid until 1951.

Looking at this treaty alone, it can be said that the United Kingdom has given all the exchange benefits it can give. If the British were willing to sign the treaty like this two months ago, it is estimated that Li Le would have considered it.

But on February 14, 1941, the German army had already fulfilled most of the preferential conditions in this treaty with a series of combat operations of its own.

The strait advantage seems to have ceased to exist, and the German troops are already only 20 kilometers away from London.

In this treaty, the only clause that can make Germany's heart move is that it can get a part of the British Navy's warships, which can be regarded as gaining a lot of naval combat power at once.

It's a pity that Li Le doesn't like this power now. He prefers to break down Britain and build a new version of the Atlantic Wall that is stronger and more secure.

"Then, on the one hand, resume communication with the Germans as soon as possible, and give us the conditions for peace talks as soon as possible..." George VI felt that he was really an unlucky king, and he lost all the face of his ancestors when he was on the throne.

He looked at Churchill, and said in a half-commanding, half-pleading tone: "On the other hand, the army must strengthen its defenses to prevent the German army from getting closer to London..."

Having said this, he looked at Sir Dill, the commander of the army, and asked, "Does the army have the ability to stop the German army from continuing to attack before the peace talks are completed?"

"With the assistance of the U.S. military, we are forming a new armored division in Liverpool, and the army should be able to defend its line of defense!" Churchill answered first.

Glancing at Churchill, Sir Dill thought with some dissatisfaction: You are so outspoken, and if something goes wrong, I will be the one to bear the responsibility!

"American aid is a little too late now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although we are building the 1st Guards Armoured Division in Liverpool, it would be unrealistic to expect new units." This time, Sir Dill decided to tell the truth. Honestly, no respect for Churchill.

George VI has no energy to entangle with his subordinates. He has been living in a bomb shelter in the basement in recent days, and his physical condition is not very good.

After yawning and announcing the meeting, His Majesty the King left the conference room with his daughter.

Churchill glanced at Sir Dill, who had just demolished him, said nothing, turned and left. Dill didn't say anything, nodded to the foreign secretary, and also walked out.

The battle is still going on, and the British executives know that they have no time to argue with each other. They have too many things to do, such as defending Chatham.

Once Chatham is lost, the Germans can attack London from two routes, and the 1st Army can only fight the German armored forces in the wilderness, which is a very unfavorable thing.

On February 15, 1941, the day ended in the busyness of everyone. The sun was slowly setting, and the British mainland was once again shrouded in darkness.
