Buckingham Palace was originally a standard European-style palace, consisting of the main palace in the middle and the side halls on both sides to form a zigzag, and during the Victorian period, in order to solve the growing shortage of rooms, the queen ordered a new palace in front of the palace to seal the opening in front of it, and since then Buckingham Palace has become a closed mouth shape, and has a huge atrium unique in European royal palaces.

Walking through the ticket gate, Werler saw this huge square, the ground was paved with reddish-brown fine stones like the square in front of the palace, which was said to be a security measure, and the footsteps on this gravel ground would be very clear in the quiet night, which could effectively prevent people from entering and leaving the palace without permission by taking advantage of the night. It is said that the Japanese learned this trick from the British, and after the Meiji Restoration, the original loess square in front of the Japanese royal palace was replaced with this gravel floor, and during that time a large number of British-style bridges and buildings were built in the Japanese capital, as if it would be possible to connect with the European powers.

With his entourage in majesty, Willle strode across the square with a group of Führer Guard Flag Corps soldiers, and took a stand in front of the real main hall of Buckingham Palace. Wheeler looked up with great interest at the magnificent palace in front of him, where George IV's architect, John Brown, looked up with great interest. Nash's extraordinary wisdom and skill are on display on this building.

The expensive Bath rock gives the palace a charming ivory yellow, the towering Mediterranean-style gables and Roman columns on the front make it look as solemn as an ancient Roman temple, and the white marble relief under the top eaves shows off the glory of the empire to all the guests, and the relief in the middle is Athena, the goddess of war holding the sea god trident, which means that the British Empire dominates the land and sea, and the relief on both sides should be how the British Empire defeated Napoleon on both land and water, Anyway, how much the British admired the Roman Empire and hated the Corsican elves.

The soldiers of the guard battalion who occupied the palace had already set up a guard of honor in front of the main hall, and these veterans of the former guard flag team did not want to lose face in front of these juniors. After the test of blood and fire on the battlefield, these soldiers have the temperament of real warriors, they hold their rifles and hold their heads high, showing the majesty of the old guard flag team to the younger rookies.

"Welcome to Buckingham Palace, General." Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt took two steps forward and saluted Werler.

"It's been a long time, Lieutenant Colonel Schmidt, it's nice to see you again, you look good." Werler and Schmidt had a number of contacts during their time in the High Command.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency Chief of Staff." Schmidt was unusually deferential to Wittler, having served by Hitler's side. He clearly knew how strong the foundation of the man on the other side was.

"When the matter here is over, the Führer will personally receive you, so you should be mentally prepared in advance, but don't spread the news until the order is given." Werler whispered to Schmidt.

"Understand, General, I am always at the call of the Führer." Schmidt replied calmly, but the trembling arms had already revealed the excitement in his heart.

"Well, take me to the King's Majesty. I think he's been waiting a little impatiently. Werler patted Schmidt's upper arm.

"Yes, please come with me, it's all arranged, General." Schmidt turned his way to show the way for Werler.

European-style palaces have one common feature. Most of the palace's rooms are used to show off the furnishings and decorations, or to hold official ceremonies, as well as a bunch of galleries, sculptures, antiques, kings and queens' memorial rooms, ballrooms of all kinds, restaurants of various decorates, entertainment halls for men and women, and some billiards, bridge, smoking rooms, and other social spaces. There are not many rooms that are actually used for the daily use of royal life, so when Queen Victoria, who is very good at procreation, ascends the throne, there will be a shortage of nurseries and princess bedrooms. A new outer hall was built to expand the palace chambers.

Schmidt didn't know much about the layout of the palace, and the German soldiers were ordered not to move around the palace at will, and now they only guard the entrances and exits of each floor, and have not yet conducted a comprehensive survey of the palace.

"When I received a call from the headquarters, I immediately informed George VI that his personal attendant had been waiting here for a long time." Walking into the courtyard, Schmidt introduced himself to Werle.

"This is Mr. Cooper, the King's chamberlain." Schmidt introduces Werler to the middle-aged attendant standing in the middle of the hallway.

"Please come with me, Your Majesty awaits you to see you, Your Excellency." The man in the black dress of the royal family attendant bowed respectfully to Werle, then turned around and led the way.

Willle positioned the audience as an unofficial meeting, which had been made clear to Schmidt on the phone, and it was believed that His Majesty the King should have understood this. For such private meetings, the royal family has long been very adept at the routine, and Buckingham Palace has a special room for various confidential meetings.

Passing through the lavishly decorated hall where the sun never sets, the attendant led Werler up a hidden staircase in one side of the cloister, leaving Schmidt and his attaché downstairs with only Major Xester and two Flag Guards. The attendant took Weirle around the complicated stairs and corridors for a long time, and finally came to the end of the trip. The squire tapped twice on the door decorated with a fine silver glass mirror, then reached out and pushed the door open.

"Please come in, Your Excellency, please wait here for a moment, and Your Majesty will come later."

"You two are on guard at the door, don't let anyone near this room." Wheeler turned his face to the two soldiers and gave the order.

"Yes, General." Two soldiers of the Guard Flag Corps stood tall with their submachine guns in their hands.

"Xester, you follow me." After sorting out the appearance of the army first, and feeling that there was nothing missing, Weierle strode into the door.

After entering the door, the first thing Weierle saw was a wall full of rose-red velvet curtains, with embroidered gold edges on the upper and lower edges, and square columns of the same color were revealed between the curtains, decorated with gilded metal grids, and near the ground was a circle of moon-white wooden wainscoting, the margins decorated with gilded patterns of flowers, plants, birds and animals.

In the middle of the room sat a full-size oak dining table, uncovered with a tablecloth, with a finely polished smooth top that shimmered jewel-like, and on each side of the table were three armchairs of the same material as the dining table, the backs and armrests were covered with rose-red velvet cushions of the same color as the room, and in the middle of the chairs were embroidered with gold thread a small crown of laurel branches.

Wheeler found that the room was windowless, and that it was indeed a suitable location for secret meetings. A beautiful crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling, illuminating the room. The British royal family has long been known for having chandeliers, and almost every room in Buckingham Palace will have one in it, because there is no better way to show off the wealth and power of the empire than this shiny giant crystal chandelier, which is used to scare the colonies into making dirt buns, and they have succeeded every time.

Unfazed by the fact that Werler looked around the room, which was empty, he began to look at the antiques on the low cabinet beside him with his hands behind his back. The King of England is still holding the royal shelf at this moment, and Willle can understand that this has nothing to do with victory or defeat, but an insistence on tradition, and in order to have a good basis for the conversation afterwards, Willle decided to let the King of England retain this little remaining face.

Wehrle admired the vase intently in front of him, he had not studied it much, and His Excellency seemed to be very fond of such things, especially Oriental antiques. Just as the German general was considering whether to take the vase away from him, two attendants pushed open the door on one side from the outside.

"His Majesty has arrived." The attendant shouted, and then bowed his head respectfully and stood on either side of the door.

Then an emaciated middle-aged man appeared in the doorway, he was wearing a black suit, no ornaments on his body, his blond-brown hair was neatly combed, and he should have used some hair oil to see the shine. During this time, the German offensive really gave him a lot of torture, and this once handsome and dashing His Majesty the King was at this time with deep eye sockets and haggard, and looked at least ten years older than his actual age.

George VI stood in the doorway and paused for a moment, then walked into the room with his head held high. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, General." The King of England walked over to the table and stood still, and he spoke to Willle in a kind manner.

"It is an honour to meet you, Your Majesty, and I bring greetings from the Head of the Empire to you." Willle took off his military hat and flat-ended his hand, then the heels of his boots collided with each other, and he nodded respectfully to the other party.

"Please express my gratitude to your head of state on my behalf, and at the same time convey to him my most sincere greetings." George VI stumbled in German in reply.

He is introverted and particularly nervous, as the second heir to the throne, he was not valued by his parents when he was a child, and his loneliness and cold reception caused serious psychological damage all year round, and finally gave way to the noble prince and fell into a stuttering problem, which was an incurable disease with the level of medical care at the time.

"You may be seated, Your Excellency General Verle." George VI had already learned the name of the envoy from the German side.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides sat down on either side of the table, and Major Xester was allowed to sit next to Willle, and after a few seconds of silence, Wheeler spoke first, and the two sides went back and forth, beginning the negotiations at the highest level since the beginning of the war between England and Germany.

"Your Majesty, don't dwell on the minutiae yet, I must remind you that there is a limit to the patience of the Third Reich, and we will only accept you to lay down your arms and surrender, not a false temporary truce." Wierle tapped his fingers on the papers on the table and stared into George VI's eyes.

At the end of the month, I ask all of you to vote for the remaining monthly tickets in your hand, and I am really depressed to look at the rankings.

Thank you all for your support. (To be continued.) )
