Chamberlain agreed to form a cabinet, and the basis for negotiations between Germany and Britain was largely established by this time. All that remains is for the two sides to fight each other under the guidance of a recognized framework, which is certainly not indiscriminate, after all, the outcome of the war is decided, and Germany will never back down on issues involving Germany's national interests.

The British side was still gathering parliamentarians to determine the members of the new cabinet, and the Germans initially thought that the mercenary politicians would retreat, because the task of this provisional cabinet was to negotiate and sign a surrender agreement with the German government, and when they completed this work, they would resign and dissolve according to the usual practice, and then they would be cursed by the people for fifty or sixty years because of the signing of those undignified treaties.

Chamberlain had nothing to worry about, because his days were numbered, and the former Reich Chancellor was now bent on his deathbed to accomplish what he considered to be a God-given mission, which he had declared war on Germany on behalf of the British Empire, so he alone was in the best position and the most responsible to end the bloody and tragic war in Europe.

To the surprise of the Germans, those British politicians did not dislike this thankless job at all, and even launched a fierce competition for the position of the provisional cabinet, until everything was settled, and when the British government was reconstituted in the future, the Germans found that these parliamentarians, who had established good relations with Germany in the negotiations, had become the most popular candidates in the cabinet.

On the afternoon of the same day that Willle visited Chamberlain, the British Radio in London issued a notice to all of England on all her bands, asking all British citizens listening to the broadcast to wait at six o'clock in the afternoon before the radio and cable broadcasts, and that His Majesty George VI was to give an important address to all British citizens.

In fact, at this time, the British people had basically guessed the content of the king's speech, and to be honest, they had already been mentally prepared for this. At this time, the ordinary people in Britain, except for some whose brains could not turn for a while. Most of them gave up on the idea of continuing to fight.

The war did not bring the British people the slightest benefit from the beginning, on the contrary, with the defeat of the British army again and again, the people reaped the only untold suffering in the war, and the enemy was so strong that there was no hope of winning the war at all. The devastating German air raids on the southern coastal towns exacerbated the fears, and as millions of refugees from the southern coast retreated north, rumors of the invincibility of the German army spread to every town and village in northern Britain.

So much so that when the public learned of the loss of Dover, the defeat of the Royal Navy's home fleet, and the iron hooves of the German Army had set foot on the mainland, defeatism and war weariness in Britain began to soar among the people. Calls for an end to this stupid and cruel war and negotiations with Germany were loud for a while. Although the British government agencies everywhere used the state apparatus to suppress the bombardment, the result was only to force the people to move their activities underground, and when the news of the occupation of London came, even the military and police began to turn to the side of the people, and the ashes burned even more vigorously when they were rekindled.

When hearing the announcement on the radio, many people found that they did not feel the excitement they expected, on the contrary, many people's mood became calmer, although they had some bitterness and unwillingness in their hearts, but now they can only accept this fact. Anyway, I can finally let go of the burden that has been weighing on my heart.

The Germans will no longer reach the north of England, which has always been a matter of primary concern to the Scots. When the news came, many residents of Scottish cities launched spontaneous celebrations. The people were so elated that it was not their side that had been defeated.

This afternoon, the whole of Britain was boiling, and people put down their work and ran around the streets of villages and towns to tell each other. The gentry called friends in the café, sipping afternoon tea and exchanging news from their own sources, and all sorts of gossip, true and false, spread among the crowd. At this moment, even some people who have never been to London can talk eloquently about how German soldiers captured the Tower of London.

On the whole, the current mainstream public opinion in Britain is favorable to Germany, which makes Weierle, who has an important responsibility, really breathe a sigh of relief. However, he will not let go of the control of the British media, and he must ensure that public opinion in the market does not fluctuate and change too much before the agreement is signed.

To this end he summoned all the media bosses and editors-in-chief of the major newspapers on Fleet Street, and he made a deal with the trembling uncrowned kings, that if they could bring the people to moderate their negative impressions and revolt against the German army, the German government would give them certain conveniences and privileges in the German-controlled areas, and would not pursue their previous statements that offended the German government, the army, and His Excellency the Great Führer, knowing that these vitriolic words were enough to send them to concentration camps.

The uncrowned kings are all characters who know the times, and few people have the backbone and cold bayonets to fight. The editors-in-chief of the newspapers felt the pressure increase, because the Germans brazenly threatened that they would be the first to be arrested if something went wrong with their article.

Britain's wartime press control office was completely taken over by the German intelligence services, and in order to facilitate the work, the Germans used all the original employees, who had very rich experience in the control of public opinion in Britain, especially Mr. Cooper, the former cabinet press secretary, came forward to express his willingness to personally supervise the work and ensure that it would not add trouble to the signing of the agreement between the two countries in the future.

On the whole, the work went very smoothly, and it took Weirle a day's work to sort out the original mess, except for leaving a part that was obviously useful to Germany, and the problems of the remaining power groups were all thrown to Chamberlain to deal with, believing that he had the means to deal with this mess, and Weirle did not have the leisure to listen to their nonsense there.

As for the disposition of the British, this point once caused a lot of controversy in the High Command. Brauchitsch and his group of old Wehrmacht generals, most of whom had personally participated in the First World War, many of whom had relatives and friends killed in that war, were all members of the 100,000 Army after the war, who had witnessed the sacking and destruction of Germany, and who had experienced the depression and misery of the Weimar period after the war, and who were the initiators of all these tragedies, the Allied countries. In particular, Britain, which is the dominant one, is full of disgust and hatred.

Therefore, for the disposition of Britain, most of the old guys advocate a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood, how Britain humiliated and suppressed Germany in the past, and now Germany should return it tenfold and hundredfold. These veterans not only demanded the complete disarmament of Britain, but also plundered the country's wealth, destroyed the country's war potential, and fundamentally eliminated all opportunities for Britain to make a comeback, with the ultimate goal of turning it into a third-rate or even fourth-rate country, so that it could no longer dictate and manipulate European affairs.

On the other hand, the so-called moderates, led by Jodl, were of the opinion that the Germans were simply unable to accomplish these goals with their existing forces. It's no less difficult to operate than any of the current campaigns. In particular, he pointed out that Britain also possessed a large number of overseas territories and dependencies, and that unless the Germans continued to occupy these areas, it would not be possible to destroy Britain's war potential. He reminded his colleagues in the High Command that Britain still had a large number of overseas troops, and the Royal Navy still had several colonial fleets that were not weak, and that once the British were cornered, what awaited Germany would be a protracted war, and the price to pay would be unbearable for Germany at present.

He believes that judging from the current situation, Germany's best choice is to accept it when it sees good. It may be possible to take a large number of benefits from the British with a tough attitude, but it must be controlled within the psychological tolerance of the British. It seems tempting to solve it all at once, but this prey is too large for Germany today, and swallowing it will only hurt your stomach. He believed that Germany would become stronger and stronger. There will be plenty of time to slowly eat away and weaken Britain's power, and one day it will be able to fulfill the expectations of Brauchitsch and others.

Eventually, Xu Jun intervened to put an end to the argument between the two factions, making it clear that he was inclined to moderate views on the issue. But this does not mean that he will be soft on the British issue. Britain must be held accountable for the vanquished, and the punishment must not be mitigated.

Now that the Führer has made the decision, the basic argument within the German government has been decided. Afterwards, Xu Jun praised Yodel who put forward his opinion. He would not tell anyone that Yodel was really just his echo worm, and that he needed someone to stand up and divert the attention of the generals of the High Command and alleviate their doubts and dissatisfaction with the British plan, and then the generals would only think that Yodel was obstructing the retaliation against the British, and would not point the finger at the handsome and dashing Führer, who was the real driving force behind the scenes.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon of 29 August, twenty hours after the complete occupation of London by the German army, King George VI of Great Britain read an edict to the whole people on British Radio. With his divine kingship, given to him by God, and the powers conferred upon him by the British Constitution, he declared to all the subjects of the British Empire that, as the supreme ruler of the British Empire, he recognized that Britain had been defeated in this war.

At the same time, he announced that the wartime cabinet had fulfilled the mission entrusted to them by history, and he announced in the name of the King of England that the current parliament would be dissolved immediately and that new elections would be held at a later date, and at the same time he appointed Chamberlain as prime minister to form a provisional cabinet and start peace talks with the German government.

In the name of Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces of the British Empire, he ordered all armed forces of the British Empire to immediately cease all military operations and end the state of war with Germany. British armed forces and armed civilians under German de facto control immediately ceased hostilities and surrendered their weapons to nearby German troops, or disarmed themselves at the station.

George VI concluded his speech by paying tribute to his subjects who lost their lives in the war and expressing his gratitude to the countless citizens of the Empire who had given their selfless service in the war. From this moment on, the war in Europe, which had lasted for almost a year, finally came to an end, and the world would usher in the dawn of peace.

But is it really that simple?
