After reaching a preliminary agreement with the top brass of the army group, Werler immediately began his trip to London non-stop, and the first stop he planned was Buckingham Palace, which had been sealed off.

The British War Department building is at the northern end of Whitehall Street, turn right and you can see Trafalgar Square not far away, across a side street is the famous Great Scotland Yard, and on the road island in front of the gate stands a bronze statue of the Duke of Cambridge on horseback.

Instead of getting into the car, Werler walked down the sidewalk to the intersection on the north side of the building, wanting to get a closer look at the Metropolitan Police Department. Relations between Britain and Germany had cooled by the time of Werler's youth, followed by the bloody Four Years' War. Wehrle had long known about this agency from various intelligence sources, and it has always been a pity that he could not see it with his own eyes, this super background board that recurs in various detective literature.

At this time, the building had been occupied by the Germans, and to everyone's surprise, the top leaders of the Metropolitan Police did not abandon their posts, and the Germans rushed into the headquarters with little resistance, and the officers of the Metropolitan Police Department believed that the Germans needed their cooperation to help maintain social security, so they simply stayed at the headquarters and waited for the arrival of the German troops.

As it turned out, their judgment was correct, and the Germans were very polite to the police officers, not treating them as prisoners at all, and the German Army did not disarm the officers, but provided them with food and hot soup for the hungry. Officials at Scotland Yard also reciprocated, and some of their senior police officers were directly involved in the German occupation, and with the help of these veteran landlords, the Germans did not take many detours in the occupation.

The police stations in London were all in German hands yesterday evening, and the policemen all laid down their arms, and the only ones who insisted on resisting were a few patrolmen and stragglers scattered in the barricades, who caused some trouble for the Germans, but did little to hinder the overall progress of the fighting.

Wait until after sunrise and broadcast via cable and radio. The City Hall issued a Letter to the Citizens of London to the city, and some of the detained police officers were allowed to return to their street duties, and by about 8 a.m., social order was largely restored on both sides of the Thames in the city centre, such as around North Warker and Westminster.

However, martial law is still in place in some areas, such as the former core theaters, such as the area of Whitehall Street, where Werler is now located, especially the area from Trafalgar Square to Charing Cross Street Railway Station, which was once the last front of the Cold Creek Guards, and more than 400 officers and soldiers of the Cold Creek Regiment were surrounded and annihilated by the German 7th Infantry Brigade in this area.

The German infantry simply cleared the battlefield after the war, and the roads in that area are still littered with abandoned ordnance and ammunition and the remains of destroyed fortifications. Although the Germans collected the British officers and soldiers who were killed. But there was no time to transport it away, and the sidewalks from the Thames to the square were now filled with the remains of the fallen covered with brown and yellow blankets of the British army.

It was summer, and if the bodies were not disposed of early, the bodies would soon decompose, and the Germans were mobilizing some of their capacity to transport the bodies of the British soldiers to be buried outside the city. The British Army expressed its gratitude to the Germans for this, and at the same time, Field Marshal Ironside personally made a request to the German command that the Germans would agree to the British Army sending professional administrators to verify the identity of the deceased.

Ironside said the soldiers were involved in the mutiny and shot and killed a number of senior officers on the Army Commission. Leaving aside whether they were deceived in this incident, it cannot be denied that these men believed that they were fighting to defend the British Empire and His Majesty the King, that their heroic deeds should not be buried, and that they were entitled to a chalk tombstone with their names engraved with the marks of their respective Guards. Instead of a blank wooden cross in the cemetery of the Unknown Soldier. The German side also expressed its understanding and approval of this, and the German army even said that it would send its own military chaplain to participate in the religious ceremony at the funeral.

Weller walked past the gate of Scotland Yard, and two British policemen and a German gendarme standing guard next to the main entrance of the police hall saluted the German general, and Werler returned a German military salute in a dashing manner. Continue along the sidewalk towards Halifax Plaza. The general's adjutant and two liaison officers from Army Group Command followed the general, and a squad of Führer Guards soldiers with loaded guns and live ammunition guarded the side of the road, before the British government officially announced its surrender. Both a soldier and a general are legitimate targets for shooting, even if the surrounding area has been tightly sealed by the German army, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no fish that will slip through the net, and setting up secret passages and secret rooms in buildings has always been the strength of the British.

"Major Xester, what do you think of the current situation, General Manstein had a high opinion of you when he recommended you to me." Standing in the middle of Califax Square, Werler looked up at the bronze statue of Nelson that stood atop a towering monument.

"We've won a decisive victory, and barring the unexpected, there won't be any repetition of the war, and it's only a matter of time before we take all of LinkedIn." Major Xester was sent to Werler as Manstein's liaison officer, and he did a good job of supervising the 25th Panzer Regiment this time, especially during the battle, and he also made many correct suggestions, so he was highly praised by the commander of the 7th Panzer Division, and his immediate superior, General Manstein, was very satisfied.

Manstein knew that the major had previously worked in the Führer's office and had a good personal relationship with Werle, so when Werler asked Manstein to send him a competent officer, the chief of staff of the Cypriot Legion first thought of this excellent adjutant.

"Is this your personal opinion, or the opinion of the majority of German officers and soldiers." Weirle turned his face to look at Xester.

"Most of the officers and soldiers hold this view, the morale of the troops is very strong at present, especially after taking London, the soldiers think that this war will end soon, so the desire to fight is very strong, and they all hope to get more combat achievements before the end of the war." Xester replied with a smile, he knew from his time in the Führer's office that the serious-looking general was in fact a very nice person to get along with, and that His Excellency the Chief of Staff liked to interact with them in a relaxed manner with the young officers.

"Yes, they are right, the war against Britain is indeed coming to an end." Turning his gaze away from Nelson's statue, Wierle turned his head to look at the royal boulevard on one side of the square, from which he could faintly see the Queen Victoria Monument in front of Buckingham Palace, where the gilded statue of the Queen glittered in the sun.

"This war has been going on for eight months, and the troops are actually very tired, and it is the Führer's work to be able to keep them alive and still maintain their morale. Think about it, without him, we would have lost in Dunkirk, where would there have been a series of brilliant victories that followed. Soldiers are willing to keep fighting because we keep winning. The Wehrmacht marched from one victory to another, from which everyone received honors and benefits that they could never have dreamed of before. Weirle paced slowly towards the exit of the square, Xester followed closely beside him, and several other officers and guards scattered around the square to stand guard, and seeing that Weirle was about to leave, the officers and soldiers began to assemble on one side of the square.

"We should get in the car, General." Xester suggested.

"Yes, let them drive my car over, it's a matter of face for the German High Command." Wehrle nodded in agreement, and although it was only about a kilometre away from Buckingham Palace, the momentum of the motorcade on foot and in full honor guards was completely different.

Willle sat in a Mercedes-Benz convertible specially prepared for him, and on the small flagpoles on both sides of the front of the car hung the flag of the German Army General and the Eagle Emblem flag of the Reichwehr High Command. Guards in black uniforms and silver trim served as guards of honor, driving three-wheeled motorcycles and 82-barrel trucks with MG machine guns in front of the road, with Werle's Mercedes in the middle, the other officers in two Mercedes Benzes following behind, and finally two Opel trucks full of Waffen-SS soldiers at the back of the line.

The convoy was not moving very fast, but the road was not long, and soon the group was rounding the Victoria Monument to the gate of the fence of the square outside Buckingham Palace. The officers and men of the guard battalion, who had been waiting there for a long time, quickly opened the iron fence gate with the British royal coat of arms, and the convoy rolled over the smooth reddish-brown gravel square in front of the palace, and stopped the wheels at the gate post in front of the palace.

Werler jumped out of the Mercedes and looked up at the huge main building in front of him, which was actually an addition from the George IV era, and the main body of the real Buckingham Palace was hidden behind this row of buildings.

"What a beautiful palace, Major Xester." Weerle tilted his head and said, then he raised his hand.

"Alright, let's go meet the ruler of the empire now and talk to him about how to end this war." Wheeler strode through the arched door in the middle towards the atrium of Buckingham Palace.
