Although the German armoured forces were invincible, when it came to capturing cities, infantry units were the main force. At present, five infantry divisions of the infantry groups participating in the Battle of London have all entered the city of London, and the remaining infantry divisions are all on standby, and commanders at all levels are ready to deal with emergencies and can immediately support the occupation forces stationed in the city in the event of an accident in the city.

At this moment, most of the citizens of London choose to hide in their homes and watch, and there are many kinds of rumors in the market during this time, and every communicator is so vibrating that people don't know which side of them to believe. Therefore, until the current situation is completely clear, it is better to stay at home and be careful.

Because the Germans did not send their air force to bomb on a large scale during the campaign, the fighting was only concentrated in a few core areas, and most of the residential areas were not affected. The military did not sound the air raid siren, so most people decided to stay in their houses instead of going to crowded bomb shelters to breathe in the murky air with the scruffy refugees.

After more than 20 years of hard work, many large anti-aircraft shelters have been built in the city, but for the huge capital of 8 million inhabitants, this number cannot meet even the most basic needs.

In the early days of the war, whenever the air raid sirens sounded, the bomb shelters would be crowded with people who had come to take refuge, citizens of all classes and identities were crowded in the same tunnel or cave all night, and hundreds of people ate and drank in them, and soon the smell of these places became suffocating, and at the same time, because the people's identities were uneven, there were always some black sheep who took advantage of this to fish in troubled waters, causing a series of law and order problems, and because they were too crowded, the guards could not do anything about these crimes. As a result, many citizens would rather stay at home and be hit by a German bomb than take their families into that filthy, chaotic, sweltering, and stinking hell.

The British government has been encouraging Londoners to dig anti-aircraft trenches in their backyards, simply because the city's capacity for civil defences is so limited. There is simply no way to protect everyone. However, this method can only disperse the crowd in some suburban neighborhoods, not every household can have a backyard, most of the residents in the urban area live in large apartments, and can only hide in those government air defense facilities, so the problem of congestion is still the same, and there is no relief in the slightest.

From the morning onwards, German infantrymen entered London's underground labyrinth under the guidance of British collaborators, who were tasked with searching for and expelling civilians hiding in tunnels and tunnels, as well as scattered British officers and soldiers.

The complete capture of a city of this size was the first experience for the Germans, and several commanders of Army Group E had no similar experience before. Not to mention getting them to come up with a mature plan.

Although the Germans had occupied some European capitals before, they were not as large as London in terms of size and population. Paris is on the same level as London, and perhaps it can be said that it is above it, but the fall of Paris and London are completely different things, and there is no comparison at all.

Paris was declared an undefended city at that time, and the French army surrendered to the German army into the city, leaving not a drop of blood in the whole process, and the entire city system of Paris was intact and the government operated smoothly. There were a large number of local officials who cooperated with the management of the German army, and the Germans did not have to use any brains at all, as soon as they asked for it, the French would immediately arrange everything.

But it was not at all the same on the side of the British. Their political systems and modes of governance are very different from those of European countries, and the difference is almost as if they were in two dimensions. Until now, Bock and Rundstead had not yet figured out how the city operated, and they could only order their soldiers to occupy the city's key facilities, as was customary in the European theater. Exactly what to do next, these two still have no clue.

The British political bureaucracy was so intricate that it seemed to the two Germans to be a complete mess. In fact, this is the result of centuries of political wrestling between the various power factions in Britain. The big men at the pinnacle of power compromised and checked each other, and eventually formed Britain's complex system of government.

In order to expand their power and install party henchmen, the bureaucracy is layered on top of each other, and outsiders seem to be trying to clarify the division of labor, but in fact, they are changing their tricks to raise a large number of redundant officials with public money, and these low-level bureaucrats have become their tentacles for meddling in practice while serving as the eyes of the big men, and for hundreds of years, the British political aristocracy has relied on this way to control the empire, what democracy and justice, that is the slogan used to anesthetize the ignorant civilians.

Now that Bock and Rundstead have finally been liberated, the wise and great Führer has sent an angel...... The two army commanders, who were in charge of the British occupation and the restoration of the British government, did not hesitate to say that everything was subject to the lieutenant general's arrangement, and that they were very glad that someone could carry the cauldron for them.

"It's a huge, old and vibrant empire, and their people are full of identity and pride in their country and nation, and although their morale has taken a serious hit, don't expect them to be willing to admit defeat so easily." Willle stood in a conference room in the British War Office building, with a huge map of all of Britain and a map of the city of London hanging behind him.

The building now bears the sign of the German Occupation Command in London, and has also become a temporary garrison for Army Group E Command.

"I feel the same way, the British are not so simple, Werle." Feng. With a red and blue pencil in his hand and chin crutched, Bock looked at a map of southern Britain on his desk, on which a large number of arrows were drawn, each representing the actions of a corps of troops.

"We can't afford to waste too much time on the city, there are already signs of a massive build-up of troops in the Scottish region and we have to respond immediately. I will make a proposal to the High Command to immediately begin the plan of action for the British offensive in the north, and General Rundstead must agree with me. ”

"Yes, I agree with you, General Bock, and our supplies are running out very quickly, this war cannot be delayed indefinitely, we have to pay millions of marks every day, especially now that the follow-up troops are still landing on this island, the pressure on our logistics will increase exponentially.

I propose that, if the British problem is not resolved within a week, ask the High Command to agree to our proposed plan and launch a blitzkrieg on the size of Army Group in the north of England. "Rundstead has been regretting not being in the starting line-up, but the Scottish Conquistador's name sounds good. He personally liked it very much.

"You can make these suggestions to the High Command on your own, and if Your Excellency the Führer and your colleagues in the High Command agree, I personally do not see any problem. I am also very troubled by the current situation. So I decided to solve the problem in several steps, but this aspect requires the cooperation of the army group command. Werler stood at his table and looked at the two army commanders sitting on either side.

"We will fully cooperate with you, Weierle, you don't have to worry about this, I will arrange for a liaison adjutant to follow you in the operation, you can mobilize any unit in the group army, you don't need my approval." Bock generously expressed his full support. The opportunity to curry favor with Wehrle is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I'm the same, Werle, my troops are at your disposal at any time, and I'll have a liaison officer by your side to assist you." Rundstead also expressed his attitude.

"Thank you very much, General Bock, General Rundstead, I will specifically raise this matter in tonight's phone call with the Führer. Now let's talk about what we need to do today. Wehrle walked over to the map and picked up a baton against the wall.

"According to the reports of the troops, we can now make an announcement. The Wehrmacht had already occupied all of London. The occupation of the western and core sectors was carried out by the Cypriot Corps and General Bock's Army Group B, plus the troops stationed on the outskirts of the outlying cities, for a total strength of five infantry divisions and one armored division, and the occupation of the southern and eastern sectors by the Guderian Corps and General Rundstead's Army Group R.

We know. General Guderian's troops were now pursuing the British mob in the northwest, so the occupation of the area was mainly dependent on the troops of Army Group R, with about two infantry divisions and a light armored regiment entering the city. To the east of the city as far as the mouth of the Thames, it was blockaded by the German Navy and a part of the Light Infantry Division. There are probably about two infantry divisions. ”

"Yes, that's pretty much the case at the moment, Werle. Tell us about your next steps. Bock looked through his laptop to make sure there were no errors.

"We have occupied London's waterworks, power plants, gas works, substations, locks and pumping stations, and these critical infrastructures are now in good working condition, and I call for the deployment of troops to protect these facilities and to ensure that London's infrastructure is largely in working order in the period leading up to the signing of the British surrender agreement.

At the same time, we also need to control the units of various food storage warehouses, various daily necessities warehouses, and count the number of remaining materials at present, and we need the cooperation of the British officials who were originally in charge of these affairs, and I will be responsible for communicating with the British side in this regard. Until then, we will have to take on the day-to-day supply of the city, which will be a test for our logistical units, and I will seek help from the British.

We are going to send more soldiers to patrol the streets today, so that more British people can see them in real terms, and make them feel that our soldiers are ordinary people like them, who do not have two more sharp horns on their foreheads, and do not walk with a sharp knife in their mouths. Wierle glanced at the two generals, who were nodding approvingly, and he continued pointing to the map.

"There are many more important areas that we have to occupy that must be strictly protected, such as the University of London, the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the Imperial Library, the courts, the telephone office, the post office, the radio station, the newspaper office, the hospitals, the places of interest, the banks and the financial exchanges, all of which we have to send troops to control, some of which can continue to operate, and some of which are temporarily closed and mothballed, depending on the circumstances.

In addition, some military installations, command organs, arsenals, and military industrial production enterprises in some cities, especially some military research institutes, must immediately send troops to occupy, blockade, and clean up them, and must not allow ordnance, important production tools, and research materials to be dispersed.

Finally, starting today, the seizure of arms and weapons from the inhabitants of the city must be resolved immediately as long as our soldiers still want to operate in the city. Wehrle put down his baton, walked to the window, and opened the curtains.

"Gentlemen, this city is actually a volcano, and our mission is clear, which is to extinguish it before it erupts."

Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation ticket, thank you for your support.

Thank you. (To be continued.) )
