My Third Empire

When Rundstedt woke up from sleep, the genius had just lightened up slightly from the gray. The German general heard the good news before he washed his face and brushed his teeth. In order to regain the lost position in the south of the city, the British defenders launched a frantic counterattack against the German defenders.

This is undoubtedly good news. In urban combat, troops who stick to their positions always have fewer casualties. He pushed open the window of the headquarters, then took the document handed to him by the staff officer, and read it carefully. The details made him even more excited.

British soldiers in many areas launched a desperate counterattack. These soldiers had no bullets in their guns, and the Germans repelled these attacks calmly. Such a counterattack allowed the German army to annihilate at least 3,000 British soldiers within an hour, but obviously these troops without bullets were not the main force of the British defenders.

The surrender of the 29th Division of the British Garrison did not have much impact on the guarding force of the British Army, but their jurisdiction is a relatively safe area in London, England...so much so that the British defenders hid a lot of ammunition reserves in this area .” Last night, Rundstedt counted the supplies turned in by the British troops who surrendered, and discovered this key point.

This is the main reason for the collapse of the British defenders. The lack of food troops can last for a few more days, but if there is a lack of ammunition, then it is obvious that this army lacks the most basic combat effectiveness. So the British counterattacked south at all costs, so the British troops pushed out all the troops without ammunition to fight back.

Let a few professional special operations teams in street warfare enter these areas slowly to clear them out. Our troops will attack here and here to cooperate with their actions. Let's see if the special operations teams can move forward in these suspicious areas. Find Churchill. Thinking of this, Rundstedt pointed to several marked positions on the map and said to his combat staff officer.

Yes! The staff officer nodded immediately, then turned and walked out.

Churchill also walked out of his office at this time, passed by the secretary's room, then walked through the corridor, stepped up the stairs step by step, and walked out of his air-raid basement. I don't know why he suddenly wants to go out for a walk, maybe because he seems to have not breathed the air on the ground for 3 days.

He walked out of the deep air-raid shelter, and the soldiers on both sides fell asleep on the ground because of exhaustion. No one noticed that his chief just passed by them. It was not until the entrance of the air-raid shelter that Churchill saw two soldiers on duty.

Prime Minister! Seeing Churchill coming out, the two soldiers stood at attention and greeted softly.

Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for Britain. Looking at the two young soldiers, Churchill suddenly had a sad feeling: If you don't suggest, accompany me to go up there for a walk?

The two hurriedly woke up the surrounding soldiers, and after leaving behind the guards,

The few remaining people accompanied Churchill to the subway station. Because the generator was working, the lights near the air-raid shelter were still on, but when they came near the subway station, the surroundings had become extremely dark.

A few miner's lamps lit up listlessly, illuminating the desperate faces around. These civilians crowded into a group, watching their prime minister walk past them in horror.

Mr. Churchill. A little girl holding a doll timidly stood beside Churchill's legs, raised her head and called Churchill: When will the war end?

Churchill was taken aback for a moment, then bent down, touched the little girl's head with his hands, forced a smile, and replied softly to the little girl: It will be over soon. The disaster will pass soon, and God will bless you all. people.

He straightened up and watched the little girl run back to his mother, and then he continued to walk to the area where the wounded were parked.

Compared with the refugee side, this place is much more lively. Many wounded patients were moaning in their sleep. Not far away, two doctors were amputating their limbs. Yesterday's battle had cost the British defenders a heavy price, so their work is extremely busy now.

Amidst the screams one after another, a doctor covered his face with a mask and cut the injured man's arm back and forth with a saw blade, while his feet were full of unknown shoes, feet or arms. Of course, on the side of the deep railroad track, there are more such stumps and broken arms, and there are piles of stinking dead bodies.

Churchill watched a young man whose arm was amputated died on the operating table because the rescue was not timely. He watched two doctors directing the helping soldiers to throw the body, which was still warm, into the deep pit of the subway track beside him. .

Without saying a word, he walked towards the stairs next to the subway station leading to the ground with his hands behind his back. He walked up step by step, and when the whole person walked out of the subway exit covered with a camouflage net, he suddenly felt a lot easier.

Last night, around a building 50 meters away, the British defenders and German soldiers fought fiercely. As a result, after paying the price of more than 70 soldiers, the British defenders held their position.

Churchill glanced at the building in the distance. When he saw it on the map last night, he still felt it was very close. Now after he really took a look, he felt that it was actually far away.

Accompanied by several soldiers, he walked to a 140mm caliber howitzer piled up next to the subway entrance, looked at the empty ammunition boxes discarded all over the ground, and the artillery and soldiers sleeping on the ground with their heads resting on the ammunition boxes. Infantry. They were so exhausted that even a few people walking around couldn't make them open their eyes.

In the far distance of the street that can be seen, there is an American m3lee tank parked. This tank is a rare heavy weapon in the hands of the British army. It repelled the attack of some German infantry yesterday. Today, it retreated in fear of being destroyed. Arrived at the intersection to defend. The tank's turret was covered with canvas to camouflage it as a pile of ruins so that it would not be spotted and destroyed by Luftwaffe planes.

The war should have ended a long time ago. Churchill looked at the dark red blood on a destroyed anti-aircraft gun, reached out and stroked it, and found that the blood had dried up, and his fingers were not covered with it. He sighed and said, This damn thing! The war really should have ended long ago!

Prime Minister! A sergeant who followed him stepped forward and whispered, Let's go back to the basement. The Germans may shell this place at any time. The soldiers here are all your loyal followers. , they are willing to die here for the British Empire. So you can rest assured that we will fight to the last moment.

Chamberlain was right, we must leave some blood for the British. There is a famous saying that 'he who is ready to die is worthy of life', I now feel that this sentence is true, we should make people who are willing to die for the British Empire Those who die live. Churchill murmured, patted the sergeant on the shoulder, and said another sentence, which made the sergeant stunned for a moment: You also want to live!

By the time the sergeant came to his senses, Churchill had already walked back. He carefully bypassed the soldiers sleeping on the ground, and walked back to the entrance of the subway station, where there was a sign indicating an air-raid shelter, swaying slightly back and forth in the breeze .

The wind and rain were swaying, looking at the signs shaking back and forth in the wind, Churchill thought of the current British Empire. The Emperor reorganized his cabinet in Iceland, announcing that he would not recognize the Chamberlain government or the Churchill government, and claimed that he would lead the army back to England. It is not true that Churchill is not good at making unreasonable comments on the matter of calling back, but the matter of setting up another mountain has really become a foregone conclusion.

Chamberlain established a British government in the northern mountains. This government is similar to the French Vichy regime, and it was established with the thighs of Germany. Although it is suspected of treason, it has indeed won the support and support of some British people who are eager to stop the war. After all, as long as the British flag does not fall, a truce can be regarded as a very attractive option.

I'm tired, you go on fighting. Churchill shook his head helplessly, raised his feet and walked down the steps, step by step towards the slightly dim entrance of the subway. When he was about to enter the darkness, he stopped suddenly, raised his head with difficulty, and looked at the gray sky of London. He had a premonition that he might never see the sky of London again.

After taking a look at the sky, he didn't stay any longer, went straight down the stairs, passed the field hospital, and passed the refugees. Churchill no longer dared to look at those scenes, because he was afraid of forgetting the once huge and powerful sky. When he saw the unparalleled empire, he was afraid that he would recall the fact that this empire collapsed in his own hands.

When he stood at the entrance of the deep air-raid shelter, the soldiers who were sleeping there had already woken up. These soldiers leaned against the wall and sat on the stairs in groups of three or four. Seeing Churchill coming back, some soldiers stood up and stood at attention, some The soldier didn't move his butt. When a person can face death calmly, the identity of the former prime minister is not enough to make him panic.

It's 7 o'clock in the morning. Gentlemen. As long as you stick to it until 5 o'clock in the afternoon, you have completed your mission. Churchill looked at his men and said, At 5 o'clock this afternoon, I will order to stop the resistance on time. All areas under my command will be surrendered to the Germans.

Everyone couldn't believe their ears. They stood there silently, looking at the former Prime Minister who had been extremely tough and declared that he would never surrender. Suddenly, someone began to cry, sobbing loudly in the silent environment.

Gentlemen! Think of our compatriots in Iceland, think of our compatriots in the northern mountains of Britain, our efforts have not been in vain, and will never be in vain! Churchill said with a smile: I have a hunch that the Germans will not win this war !
