Chapter 201: The Destruction of the Empire (7)

"Give this document to Yodel, he knows what to do." Xu Jun signed his name at the bottom of the document and drew a personal monogram.

"Understood, my Führer." Tysenhofen stepped forward and closed the folder, nodded to Xu Jun, and walked out of the office with the folder.

"Where did you just talk about? Oh, by the way, the question of convening a congression, maybe it will have to be postponed for a while. I will first go to Paris to sign an armistice with Petain, and then I will settle the British question. The political situation in that country was so chaotic that by now there were five or six so-called envoys who had asked to negotiate with us, each claiming to be orthodox and having power to represent the British government. Xu Jun brushed the hair on his forehead, opened the drawer and threw a stack of papers on the table.

"But one thing they have in common, all have unrealistic ambitions and extraordinary appetites, the British have not failed for a long time, and they have apparently forgotten how to surrender to the enemy. So Werle, I want you to go to the front on my behalf, and negotiate with the British as a surrendered representative. You know where our bottom line is, and if necessary, you can properly tap those stupid Brits to make them realize the reality. Xu Jun pushed the document to the table, and Weierle leaned over to take it.

"These are the pieces of intelligence obtained after interrogating British prisoners, and you know how to use them. As I said, obedience to me will be rewarded, and disobedience must be punished. ”

"I also need a written document from you appointing me as plenipotentiary, preferably with some blank letters of pardon signed by you personally." Wehrle flipped through the papers and stuffed them into the bag beside him.

"You'll get everything you need, remember, Werle, I don't care what means you use, you have to put an end to this chaos on the other side as soon as possible. We still have a long way to go. There are still a lot of problems to be solved, and we can't spend all our energy on these messy things. Xu Jun rang the electric bell on the table, and after a while, Tysenhofen knocked on the door and walked in.

"How much time do you need to prepare?" Xu Jun asked at Weierle.

"Once you have the necessary documents ready, you will be able to leave in the afternoon, my Führer." Weirle replied respectfully.

"Order the wing to prepare my plane, and send another Guards squad to serve as General Verrle's bodyguard." Xu Jun said to Tysenhofen.

"Yes. I'll arrange these things myself. In addition, my Führer, Marshal Brauchitsch, has arrived, and he awaits your summons outside. ”

"Let the marshal come in." Xu Jun stood up and stretched out his hand to Weierle.

"Good luck with your journey, Werle, I won't be going to see you off in the afternoon, keep in touch with the high command, I look forward to your good news."

"It's my duty. My Führer, you will get what you want, I assure you. Weierle stretched out his hand and shook Xu Jun's hand, then took a step back and saluted.

"Then I will take my leave, my Führer."

"Go, my Excellency Chief of Staff." Xu Jun smiled and returned a military salute.

"Huh? You're there too, Weirle. Brauchitsch pushed open the door and entered.

"I was just about to retire, Marshal." Weirle saluted Brauchitsch. Then he walked out of the office, bypassing the marshal.

"General Weirle is such a capable subordinate, why didn't I find him when I was in the staff office earlier?" Brauchitsch watched as Wierle walked out of his office. He turned back to Xu Jun and said.

"You weren't unaware of the atmosphere in the staff at that time, and I wasn't just as keen on being a salary thief. You may be seated, my Excellency Marshal. ”

Brauchitsch smiled and walked up to Xu Jun and sat down in the armchair at his desk.

"I just got the news that they had stormed the city and ended up stuck in Westminster. But Manstein was so angry that he even asked the high command to allow him to use army aviation for close support. Brauchitsch placed his military cap and cane on the desk to the side.

"You know why I didn't allow them to use heavy artillery, these buildings carry the glorious history of the British Empire for hundreds of years, and have literally become the spiritual backbone of the British. We could easily raze Westminster to the ground, but in addition to angering the British. And what can we get from it?

London is so famous that I don't know how many people in the world have visited it, and if we do a lot of damage to these historic buildings, the good image of Germany that has been rebuilt will fall apart once again.

When the time comes, I can figure out what the outside world will say. See, this is the true face of the Germans, who destroyed London without mercy, just as their ancestors destroyed the city of Rome, they are still a barbaric and brutal barbarian. Xu Jun lit a match and lit the cigar in his hand.

"Who are we? We are aggressors, and regardless of the starting point of the war, we cannot refute the fact that our army is fighting on the territory of another country. We have moved the cake of too many people, who once controlled most of the world. Public opinion from the outside world is criticizing us, our enemies are secretly sharpening their blades, and our so-called friends only know how to drag us back behind. We are already on the edge of a precipice, and no matter how many glorious victories we have won before, my Commander-in-Chief, it only takes one defeat to push us off the precipice. ”

"I agree with all your opinions, my Führer. It is an honour for me to be at the service of such a wise leader as you, especially to see that you have maintained a rational mind and not been carried away by honour after the successive victories in Germany, which is enough to make you an important place in the ranks of the greatest leaders in German history, and you are destined to go down in history, my Führer. Brauchitsch patted Xu Jun's ass with a serious face, he had already felt Xu Jun's pulse.

"Compared to those great men, I have a lot to be desired." Although Xu Jun is very useful to marshal-level sycophants, he should still have basic modesty, otherwise he will be considered too arrogant.

"What about Guderian, his troops are now caught in a two-sided battle, and supplies must keep up...... We should open up more supply lines. Xu Jun took a puff of his cigar and began to change the subject.

To say about Guderian's troubles. It all started early this morning. His armoured forces had carved out a corridor on the west side of the city, dividing one-fifth of the city's suburbs. The main force of the Bock's corps was outflanked from the east, and soon joined up with Guderian's corps to the north of the city of London, completing the arc of the encirclement north of London.

In the next plan of action for the Battle of London, Guderian's troops were tasked with launching a centripetal attack on the city from the west and north, which was originally an easy task. Because the area he was in did not have much British defense. But as Guderian's troops began to enter the city, an infantry company protecting the outer line of the troops came under attack from the rear.

At this time, Guderian realized that a motley force of tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared behind him, and at this time, the German troops left in the rear were only one battalion of sappers except for some logistical services.

Guderian hurriedly ordered the rearguard to make a 180-degree turn and support the defenders at full speed. At this time, the German troops who remained on the defensive line had already relied on the fortifications and bunkers left by the British army to fight to the death with the enemy.

The British had an absolute superiority in forces, launching dozens of successive attacks like a tidal wave. Although the British were very rudimentary in their weapons, most of the Germans on the defensive were non-combat orderlies, and they also did not have much combat effectiveness. This sudden blow by the British inflicted extremely heavy damage on the Germans, and when Guderian's reinforcements finally arrived, the remaining German officers and soldiers on the position could not even make up a platoon.

Furious at the report of the damage, Guderian radioed his encounter to the command of the army group, while accusing army intelligence of incompetence. The Air Force reconnaissance unit was derelict in its duties, and even such a large-scale movement of enemy troops. I didn't even notice it before, it's unbelievable.

His logistical forces suffered heavy losses, the British not only burned down his food yard and set fire to the fuel warehouse, but also saddened him that the British had sacked a divisional field hospital, captured all the doctors and nurses, and killed some of the German wounded who tried to resist.

Guderian begged the command of the army group to make a request to the high command on his behalf. He demanded that the High Command agree to his refusal to accept the surrender of the opposing British forces, and that all captured prisoners be shot on the spot in the name of armed thugs.

Because Guderian interrogated the prisoners and found that it was not the British regular army that attacked him, but a group of British civilians who were trying to serve the king, and these people were all part of the National Guard. When they learned that London was under siege, these people spontaneously gathered together and formed the so-called Qinwang army in front of them.

These people come from suburbs and towns in several cities north of London, such as Northampton, Milton Keynes, Belford and Luton. Most of the members were devout Anglican believers, as well as farmers and villagers loyal to the king. Fearing an air attack, these men went out day and night, and they were always on the road in the field, successfully evading the aerial reconnaissance of the German air force. There was no unified command of this army, only a so-called military committee, led by the squires of various villages and towns, most of whom were not highly educated, so they were very easy to be instigated, and to put it bluntly, they were a group of pure rabble.

It is not easy to train those valuable technicians of the armored forces, especially the workers of the machine repair factory and the technicians of the ordnance department, these professionals who usually fiddle with precision equipment worth tens of thousands of marks, actually died in the hands of a group of peasants with dung forks and old rifles, how can this not make Guderian angry and heartbroken.

"There must be forces in the city of London behind this, trying to show me what they are capable of under the table? It makes us feel that the British are unruly and difficult to conquer, so we must cooperate with them. Maybe they want to blackmail us and get more benefits and power from us. The methods of these people are too low-level to be seen through at a glance.

I agreed to Guderian's request, and Yodel would give him a written order. I will also use the Eye of Odin to investigate the incident thoroughly and find out who is behind it, and some of those must be held accountable for his stupidity. This time I'm going to show all those bastards who are hiding in the shadows how great the cost of daring to provoke me is. Xu Jun exhaled a puff of smoke and dusted his cigar on the ashtray.
