I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 879 The traitor will never die
After the French surrender, the Gestapo began arresting Hebrews in France.

The Hebrews in France were also French.

Instead of uniting to protect the Hebrews in France, the other French people took the initiative to lead the Gestapo to capture the Hebrews.

After the French government surrendered, for ordinary French people, although they had laid down their arms, they were full of disgust towards the Germans and usually rejected the demands of the German occupation forces.

Only when it came to arresting Hebrews did the French enthusiasm surprise even the Gestapo.

The Hebrews were amazing in that they could make the French and Germans, who were sworn enemies, reach an agreement so quickly.

It should be noted that there are also many Germans living in France.

So George was not surprised that French pilots joined the German army and took part in the bombing of Britain.

The French hate the British as much as the Hebrews.

Britain has broken the opportunity of European unification several times, and the closest time was during the First French Empire under the leadership of Napoleon.

France lost an entire generation in the last world war.

In this world war, Britain again did not put in enough effort. Not only did it only send 40 expeditionary forces to France, but during the Dunkirk evacuation, it also dragged 9 French troops with it to retreat to Britain.

What makes the French particularly dissatisfied is.

Charles de Gaulle had clearly already formed the Free France in North Africa and continued to fight the German army.

However, Britain did not hand over the 9 French troops that were forced to retreat to the British mainland to Charles de Gaulle's command, but instead kept the French troops in the British mainland to assist the British army in defense.

In addition to the French troops that had already retreated to the British mainland, there were still 70 fully equipped French troops within the Maginot Line.

If these French troops also joined the German army, then the German army's strength would far exceed that of the Russian alliance.

The total strength of the Russian alliance is now about 470 million, and George can only mobilize about 200 million people.

Yugoslavia and Romania could not mobilize their troops because they had to defend against the Axis attacks.

Goryeo had to guard against possible invasion by Japan and was also unable to send too many reinforcements to Russia.

George kept 40 troops in the Far East for defense.

Apart from the Russian troops assembled in Warsaw in preparation for the implementation of the Thunderstorm Plan, the number of troops George could actually deploy was less than one million.

During the Battle of France, the German army directly deployed as many as 300 million troops.

There are nearly 150 million troops in Germany to guard against possible Russian attacks.

George could not wait for the French to join the Germans before taking action.

On August 8, George launched the fourth mobilization against Russia, expanding the army by another 3.

Little Karl came to George again, worried that Russia's continuous military expansion would cause panic among the Junker nobles.

The Junker nobles are still discussing whether the rule of the mustache should be overthrown.

The peace faction that advocates overthrowing the rule of the little mustache hopes to negotiate with Russia immediately after overthrowing the rule of the little mustache to eliminate the risk of war.

The war faction advocated that the little mustache continue to lead Germany in implementing the Sea Lion plan.

What made Ye Zhu happy was that, whether it was the Junkers who advocated war or the Junkers who advocated peace, going to war with Russia was not an option in their plans.

If Russia continues to expand its military at this time, it will definitely lead to some peace advocates joining the war advocates.

Ye Zhu would not gamble Russia's future on the internal conflicts of the Junker aristocracy.

If Germany stops mobilizing, Russia can also stop mobilizing.

Germany has defeated France. The success of the Sea Lion plan depends on the German Air Force and Navy, and has little to do with the strength of the army.

If the German army could cross the English Channel, even if only 50 German troops landed on the British mainland, they could sweep across the British Isles.

If this is the case, what is the purpose of Germany's continued military expansion?
Now, apart from Russia, no country can pose a threat to Germany on land.

So Germany’s goal of military expansion is very clear.

To George's regret, due to a sudden coup in the Kingdom of Romania, George needed time to stabilize the Kingdom of Romania.

The Kingdom of Romania had previously hired German instructors to train the Romanian army.

George was also unsure of the extent of the German infiltration into the Romanian army. In addition to expelling the German instructors, George also needed time to reorganize the Romanian army.

Germany also needs time to digest France.

Now George suspected that Karl Jr. and Ribbentrop were playing the good cop and the bad cop respectively, acting for George.

If George fell for it and the German army suddenly started to implement Plan Barbarossa and launched an attack on Russia, then Russia might really repeat the mistakes of another time and space.

What George did not expect was that after the surrender of France, calls for an alliance with Germany re-emerged in Russia.

Even George and Vasily did not expect that the French would not even bother to put on an act and simply chose to surrender.

Russia missed the feast of dividing France, which made many Russians feel sad.

Some in Russia have even suggested that someone in Russia should be held accountable for the missed opportunity.

The current leader of the Russian government is Vasily and the leader of the military is George.

Who is responsible for Russia?

Obviously, it was either Vasily or George. This time, George finally showed no mercy and sent out the Ministry of Internal Affairs police to work with the Alpha Office to control the domestic public opinion environment in Russia.

What caught George off guard was that on August 8, collective activities against public opinion control occurred almost simultaneously in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Constantinople.

This part is mainly composed of young students.

George showed no mercy and sent someone to invite the main planner of the event to Alpha for tea.

As George expected, the organizers of this event were mainly descendants of immigrants from Britain and France.

Makarov personally oversaw the trial of House Stuart, the organizer of the Constantinople group.

House Stuart was born in London, England in 1920. He immigrated to Russia with his family in 1926 and is currently studying law at the University of Constantinople.

House Stuart's finances are clean and have no connection with overseas funds. Makarov is not sure whether House Stuart accepts foreign funding.

Alpha still respected House Stuart very much. Instead of throwing House Stuart directly into prison, Alpha temporarily placed House Stuart and other organizers under house arrest in Alpha's hotel in Constantinople.

Alpha still needs to raise funds on its own, and mainly conducts industry activities overseas, and does not have many business activities in Russia.

"House, can you talk to me for a minute, why are you doing this?"

Makarov took the initiative to come to the suite where House lived and started a conversation on the sofa in the living room.

"Sir, don't you think that Russia's control over freedom of speech is having an increasingly adverse impact on Russia's development?"

House Stuart was fearless and spoke freely to Makarov.

Of course, this is more likely because House Stuart does not know Makarov's true identity.

"No country will allow public opinion to ferment. Can you make unfavorable remarks against the Duke of Windsor in the UK? Can you make unfavorable remarks against the Hebrews in the United States?"

Makarov hated such self-righteous young people.

After the Duke of Windsor abdicated, he currently lives in France with Mrs. Simpson.

The Duke of Windsor was relatively restrained.

Mrs. Simpson is outspoken and has made many shocking remarks. She is a well-known pro-German.

Before the Battle of France broke out, a Paris newspaper claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Windsor provided the German army with secret French military documents, defining the Duke of Windsor as a German spy.

As for the influence of Hebrews in the United States, this is already well known to Russians thanks to the Russian media's tireless popularization of knowledge.

"Because Russia is more advanced than Britain and the United States, we should make more courageous attempts to do what Britain and the United States cannot do!"

House Stuart's logic is surprisingly self-consistent.

"That's not bravery, that's recklessness!"

Makarov said bluntly that whether House Stuart intended it or not, his actions had affected Russia's interests.

"Sir, are you as conservative as those old bureaucrats?"

House Stuart tries to put a accusation on Makarov.

"Haha, then tell me, who is the conservative and pedantic bureaucrat?"

Makarov had a gentle smile, and those who were familiar with Makarov knew that someone was about to be in trouble.

"I dare not say, but you should know——"

House Stuart's IQ doesn't seem like he'd be able to get into the University of Constantinople.

Makarov looked through House Stuart's information again.

Sure enough, House Stuart was able to enter the University of Constantinople because of a donation his father made to the University of Constantinople.

"So fighting for free speech is just the first step. Once you have unfettered freedom of speech, you will follow your heart and target those old bureaucrats who have already displeased you, right?"

Makarov analyzes House Stuart's intentions.

House Stuart said nothing, his eyes slightly flustered.

"is not it?"

Makarov demanded.

House Stuart remained silent.

Makarov stopped communicating, taking House Stuart's silence as acquiescence.

Now that House Stuart's purpose has been determined, Makarov sent people to House Stuart's home and detained all of House Stuart's family members.

Similar to House Stuart, most students are seduced by "freedom of speech" and oppose the Russian government's control of public opinion.

George could understand young people's pursuit of freedom and their dislike of being constrained.

After all, George was young once.

But pursuing the freedom they wanted in this way still crossed George's bottom line.

After Alpha's investigation, it was finally confirmed that these students were influenced by the British radio station and developed a yearning for freedom of speech.

George was not surprised by the result.
