I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 915 The best result
Inside the Prime Minister's Office, everything appeared normal on the surface, but in reality, people were filled with anxiety and undercurrents were surging.

A rumor has recently circulated in Berlin that a mysterious force within the Wehrmacht is rebelling against the Chancellor's Office and is dedicated to overthrowing its rule and restoring the democratic system of the Weimar era.

Fortunately, it wasn't a restoration of the monarchy; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for Crown Prince William to enter the Prime Minister's Office.

The man with the mustache sat in the corner of the office, a half-full glass of red wine in front of him, and a half-smoked cigar still warm in the ashtray beside him.

Crown Prince William was surprised.

The man with the mustache drinks a little alcohol in Europe, but he never smokes.

He not only doesn't smoke himself, but he also hates it when others smoke in front of him.

"I've only just realized how many things I haven't done or experienced yet."

The man with the mustache seemed unsurprised by Prince William's arrival.

"I just got back from Kiel—"

Prince William had barely begun to speak when he was interrupted by the man with the mustache.

"What right do those bastards in Kiel have to complain? They enjoy the highest salaries and benefits, yet they do nothing. They are powerless to break the British blockade, unable to cut off British trade routes, and they don't even dare to leave the port to have a fair duel with the British like men. These cowards are a disgrace to Germany and the Aryans!"

The man with the mustache launched into a tirade of profanities.

Crown Prince William and Gustave Krupp exchanged a glance, both able to see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

The man with the mustache hurled insults for a full five minutes, from the sailors in Kiel to the auxiliary troops, from Britain to Russia, and then he cursed George, Churchill, and Roosevelt before finally calming down, panting heavily.

What exactly do they want?

After venting his frustrations, the man with the mustache eventually had to face reality.

"They want to stop the war and restore peace—"

Crown Prince William attempted to communicate with the man with the mustache.

"Stop the war? When Germany was sweeping across Europe and bringing them champagne from France, why didn't they ask for an end to the war! When I, the Chancellor, was eating bread and supplying them with ham, why didn't they yearn for peace!"

Mustache was heartbroken. Had he known the navy was in such a terrible state, he shouldn't have rebuilt it. He should have used the navy's budget to arm the French instead.

Rundstedt's battle report claimed that a French unit participated in the encirclement and annihilation of the Anglo-American forces in Normandy, and that the heroic performance of this French unit during the battle was reminiscent of the invincible French army that swept across Europe during the Napoleonic era.

"It's pointless to talk about this now."

Crown Prince William is patient and hopes that Prince Mustache will make the right choice.

"What are you doing here? Are you trying to persuade me to surrender to them? Or do you hope I will surrender to Russia?"

The man with the mustache looked at Prince William with a cold gaze.

"I hope you can save Germany again, just like you did before."

Crown Prince William subtly suggested that Prince Mustache should face reality.

"Your Highness, thank you for your trust. I will certainly do my best!"

The man with the mustache was overjoyed, completely misinterpreting Crown Prince William's meaning. On the way out of the Prime Minister's residence, Krupp concluded, "This man has gone completely mad, beyond saving!"

"No matter what happens to him, we cannot give up."

Crown Prince William also has a Plan B.

George also has a Plan B.

If Germany agrees to disarm and restore the border to its pre-annexation state of the Sudetenland, George is not necessarily obligated to dismember Germany.

Several versions of the solution to Germany have been proposed, with de Gaulle suggesting the complete dismemberment of Germany to eliminate the German threat.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. proposed a plan to eliminate Germany's industrial capacity and turn it into a purely agricultural country.

Churchill was the most ruthless; he not only wanted to dismember Germany, but also to station troops on German soil.

Dmitri believed that whether Germany was dismembered or turned into an agricultural country, it would only be a continuation of the Treaty of Versailles and would not completely eliminate the risk of war in Europe.

If the Germans still harbored resentment after the end of the last world war...

Germans should now fully realize just how vast the gap is between ideals and reality.

Even with the combined strength of all of Europe, Russia could not be defeated; Germany's historical window of opportunity has completely closed.

Franklin D. Roosevelt was busy with many affairs and did not stay in Russia for long. After reaching a preliminary agreement with George, Roosevelt left Russia and returned to the United States.

Andrei came to see George and brought with him the "Spring Offensive" plan, which stipulated that the Russian army would resume its offensive a month later, regardless of whether the Germans surrendered.

George agreed that they could take their time talking to the Americans and deal with the Germans first.

As for the UK.

Whether the British agree or not, India must become independent and completely eliminate British influence over India.

Not only India, but also European colonies around the world, such as the Dutch East Indies, French India, and Belgian Congo, must hold referendums based on the premise of "national self-determination" to completely dismantle the European colonization of the world since the Age of Exploration.

George still needs to examine Russia's financial situation to see if it can withstand a fixed exchange rate of rubles for gold.

It doesn't matter if it can't hold on; we can rely on Russian and Persian Gulf oil to tie oil and the ruble together.

Crown Prince William did not keep George waiting for long.

A week before the launch of the spring offensive, Vasily urged Germany to surrender immediately and unconditionally via radio, otherwise Russia would launch a final war against Germany.

Although listening to Russian radio is strictly prohibited in Germany, Vasily's appeal still sparked a strong reaction in Germany.

Although Russian ground forces did not launch an offensive against Germany last winter, the air force continued to bomb Germany. The past winter was described by German media as "the coldest winter in German history."

Many Germans cannot accept this fact, just a year ago, Germany had swept across Europe, reaching an unprecedented peak of strength.

Why has Germany fallen to such a desperate state in just one year?

Crown Prince William visited the Prime Minister's residence again.
If Germany had truly surrendered unconditionally, imprisonment to death would probably have been the best outcome.
