Chapter 483

On April 16, the battlefield in London, which had been almost silent for three days, became lively again. More than 200 German bombers of various types appeared in London, which had little bombing value. It seemed that the a group army suddenly began to pay no attention to casualties, and the attack became ferocious and extremely destructive.

A quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft gun appeared in the center of London under the protection of hundreds of German troops. The impatient German army raided several important buildings in the center with 30mm caliber machine guns. When the German army attacked the ruins of the market center, a banner representing Germany was set up there.

The battle continued throughout the day. The German army began to do its best to clean the British garrison room by room and building by building, defending the British soldiers in London. Only in this way can we remember that the real combat effectiveness of the German army is not as gentle as it was a few days ago.

All suspected areas will be greeted by napalm bombs, because the London fire, which has gradually subsided, is burning again and more fiercely than a few days ago. German soldiers from one side over the burning building, flocking to another battlefield.

Lundstedt looked at two documents in his headquarters without saying a word. One was the order of the head of state to occupy London at all costs, and the other was the incomplete casualty statistics report he received after fighting for two hours.

He knew that if there were no intractable troubles, the head of state akado would not have signed and issued such an order. In his impression, the head of the Yuan Dynasty was more concerned about the casualties of soldiers than the generals on the front line. The head of the Empire was a little inexplicably petty in terms of the losses of soldiers. Marshal blauchich had explained the reason in private. The marshal attributed the habit of caring about the casualties of the head of the Yuan Dynasty to the fact that the head of the Empire came from a lower class of soldiers, Because of my own experience.

Now that the head of state can give orders at all costs, it shows that there are some domestic troubles that need to be solved by winning the war quickly. As a commander in chief of the group army, lundstedt was obviously not an idiot. He immediately understood that the high-intensity war made the domestic anti war sentiment rise.

Man is really a complex creature. At a time of national calamity and national displeasure, a slogan can often win the support of countless people. At that time, it seems that everyone is duty bound to shed his blood. Just as the saying goes, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. However, when the country becomes stronger and gets rid of the crisis, the same people and things can no longer get applause and encouragement. Everyone will be eager to live a good life and have no interest in expanding territory and dominating the world.

Akkado did not use ethnic hatred excessively, nor did he advocate radical racism. Of course, the benefits were enormous. This decision enabled Germany to maintain its due sense and tolerance in the war, and removed the label of "unjust war" for Germany in advance. On the other hand, it also alleviates the sequelae of war inertia to Germany, and avoids the stagnation and collapse of German domestic economy in case of war stalemate.

However, there are disadvantages in doing so. The disadvantage is that the agitation of national emotions is not thorough enough. The reserved sense and tolerance began to reflect on their own gains and losses in the process of war. Therefore, Germany lacks the desperate fighting mentality that was originally incited by Hitler, so this embarrassing situation has emerged.

In fact, under the rule of akkado, the German did not rely on completely distorted emotions to launch the war of expansion. In the early days, akado mainly relied on inciting the people to overthrow the Treaty of Versailles to gather popularity, that is to say, akado relied on himself to break the reputation brought by the Versailles system. In the later period, the fundamental motive force of German expansion was that akkado's distribution of interests met the needs of capitalists, whose support was the cornerstone of the rampage of millions of German troops.

Akkado, who knows the history, always wanders on the edge of nationalism. He uses the "big German" to obscure and take advantage of dangerous racism. As a result, he has won unprecedented status and recognition of the people, and has absorbed the dual support of fanatics and rationalists, This is also the fundamental reason why he was able to defeat the Nazi party which only relied on the fanatics: he did more and more radical for the country than the Nazi party, so the fanatics turned to support him. However, he also treated domestic conflicts mildly, so the rationalists favored him, so that he could win over the popular Hitler and become the head of the country... Now that he has taken the advantage, So now he has to bear the trouble and consequences of incomplete "vague racism".

Because he did not often use the Nazi Party's radical strategy of strictly controlling domestic public opinion and making no secret of eliminating dissidents, he did not arrest those who opposed him, nor did he block their mouths. He has seen so many heroes who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of this country, and he admires people like hickory and Carl? Benz is such a person, so he is not willing to kill people who also love this country.

So the pressure is now on akado's shoulders and on the British home front commander, general lundstett. The frenzied attack of two hours has already cost the German army 2000 soldiers. If it develops at this speed, the German army will lose at least 15000 soldiers before today's attack stops.

Another question that makes lundstedt feel helpless is, what's the use of London in this way? The city is in ruins. Factories have been destroyed and palaces have collapsed. It is estimated that even one tenth of the millions of citizens will not be left. I am afraid that the symbolic meaning of such a London is greater than the actual meaning. Looking at the document in front of him, he stood up, shook his head and sighed. The combat staff came to comfort the old general: "general, this is the meaning of the supreme command. We just need to carry out it."“ Of course I know what to do. I just don't think it's necessary to do so. " "I know Berlin needs a message to end the war. Even if London is just a symbol, it must be fought as soon as possible. As soon as the war here is over, it will be much better for the head of state in Berlin... However, it is a pity that the soldiers were sacrificed in vain. "“ General, we swore allegiance to the Fuehrer. " After thinking about it, the staff officer advised the Veteran General: "compared with the time when we were loyal to the German Emperor, we are in a much better situation now - at least the Fuehrer takes us as life, not as expendable materials, which is enough." After the battle of Verdun and the battle of Somme River, lundstedt didn't know how cruel the war was. Of course, he knew that the battle he was commanding could be regarded as a military exercise compared with the battle purely relying on human life and blood. Thinking of this, he felt a little better. He coughed, patted the staff officer on the shoulder with gratitude, and then went back to the front of the battle map. He felt better as his troops gradually compressed the central London area. Let's finish soon. As long as we occupy here, we can declare the war against Britain over. He thought silently in his heart. In fact, the British did not want to continue to fight like this for a long time, because the war was carried out in their homes. No matter what was damaged, it was their own. It has long been compared with Paris in France, which is also patronized by Germany, but the treatment is very different. Paris is almost undamaged now, and the German army is very restrained in Paris, so whether it is defeated or occupied, in fact, it does not bring much pain to the French civilians in Paris. On the contrary, London in Britain is different. It is almost flattened here! So many British people are reflecting on whether they are right or wrong to fight so hard. It's not impossible to let Germany suffer less now. Since we firmly believe that we can win, we'd better take it back in the future! That's what many people think. Just because they don't say it doesn't mean they don't think so. Just as lundstedt was struggling with how to carry out the fierce street fight to the end, the door of his office was knocked“ Come in At the same time, the general and the staff officer looked back at the young officer who entered the door“ Head of state akado? Long live Rudolph The officer who came in stood at attention and then said, "general! The 29th division commander of the British garrison in South London sent a letter of surrender. He is willing to surrender to us. "“ oh That's good news. Are you sure they really want to surrender? " Lundstedt was stunned, then ecstatic. In France, he had not seen a division of the enemy surrender, but this time it was obviously more significant: the surrender of the British army at this time showed that the other side's determination to fight to the death had been shaken, and once one side's determination to fight to the death had been shaken, it would not be far from collapse. Soon the news was confirmed. Germany made an exception by sending the commander of the first infantry army nearby to receive the British surrendering division commander in person, and held a grand surrender ceremony. According to akkado's instructions, the surrendering division commander was appointed the honorary mayor of London, Germany. The division's position was quickly handed over to the German army, the southern line of London collapsed completely, and the British garrison, which had insisted just two hours ago, was defeated like a mountain in a flash.
