The Fourth Disaster, Starting from the Movie Eight Hundred

This was quite high praise, and William II signed it with his full name.

This was respect and recognition, which made Hitler's mood soar to the sky.

Although the royal families in Europe declined one after another after World War I, in fact every politician who came to power hoped to be recognized by the royal aristocrats. After all, there was no Huang Chao in their history who killed the powerful and wealthy according to their family tree. Europeans and Americans attach great importance to bloodline, but for us, it is a need for the petty bourgeoisie when raising cats and dogs.

I still prefer Chinese native dogs. These little native dogs are so great.

This frenzy began on the front lines of Germany's war against Britain and gradually spread to the whole of Europe. At this time, even the most optimistic Nazi opponents had to accept a cruel fact.

The Third Reich was rapidly rising, and they were powerless to stop it.

Originally, the United States was one of the hopes, but now the United States is busy wrestling with the Japanese and Mexicans on its doorstep. The US military's terrible performance has made European countries roll their eyes.

However, the three Nordic countries remained calm about this because they had the Fifth Column of the International Volunteer Army in their country. Moreover, Germany had now developed many resources in the occupied areas and no longer cared much about the resources of the three Nordic countries. As for the next target, the Soviet Union was definitely more attractive than the three Nordic countries.

In this way, under the cover of naval guns and aircraft, Germany landed directly from Folkestone and headed straight for London.

The remaining British Home Fleet launched a tenacious counterattack using torpedo boats and destroyers, but they were outnumbered. After being dispersed and eliminated by the German army like ducks, Germany used several old antique warships from World War I to force aground and use them as fixed artillery positions to attract the fire of the British coastal defense artillery.

The location of these broken ships is quite disgusting. If the British army does not care, they will bombard the defense line on the British coastline. If they concentrate fire on them, they will not be able to be knocked down in a short time, but their coastal defense artillery will be exposed. Once exposed, they will be targeted by the German main fleet and bombers one by one.

For Germany, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and it had to take over Britain, while the British army was defending its homeland.

Both sides fought hard.

Chapter 192: Desperate London, Falling Hegemony

(First update today, working shifts, hellish schedule, good night first, and by the way, grab the enterprise sauce to sleep with me)

Tower defense mode is enabled in Britain in 1941. Let's defend carrots!

The British were very determined to defend their homeland. Even if the king made a "strategic shift", Britain continued to resist under the command of Prime Minister Churchill. Of course, Churchill himself was ready to evacuate at any time, and Roosevelt made it clear that the United States was willing to provide assistance.

There was no way. Roosevelt really didn't expect that Britain would lose its entire maritime advantage in one afternoon. Now the entire United States was in a panic. If it continued like this, Britain might make peace with Germany, which was something the United States absolutely did not want to see.

So the United States began to firmly support Churchill as the Prime Minister throughout his resistance, at least helping him evacuate at critical moments to ensure that Britain could continue to resist in the days to come.

As for the possible impact of the British royal family fleeing to Canada, the United States, which is already on fire at its doorstep, can no longer care about it.

The Anglo-Saxons are facing a critical moment of survival and must work together, even if it means stabbing each other in the back.

Fortunately, the great Britain had not yet become a weak country at this time. The British people still had patriotism and pride of a strong country. What's more, Britain was too small. As soon as Germany successfully landed, Britain had to fight a Battle of London. This was the capital of the British Empire, and naturally it gathered all the forces that Britain could gather in a short period of time. British troops rushed to London every moment to participate in the fight with the German army.

Before George V actually fled, he still fulfilled some of his duties as a British king, such as giving public speeches, calling on the British people to unite and fight the German invaders to the last soldier.

Because this is British territory and Indian cannon fodder cannot be delivered, it is impossible to fight to the last Indian (sad).

But it doesn't matter. The citizens of the British Empire will fight to the death. We are the world's number one power. Why should we be bullied by a loser like Sandezi? We must fight back fiercely, take up arms, defend London, and defend Britain!

British morale is high, which is good, but not everyone is so high.

For example, Ireland announced its withdrawal from the Commonwealth on the day Germany landed in the UK. Of course, it did not cooperate with Germany and declared neutrality. However, this approach was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for the current UK and directly imposed a morale debuff.

They deserve it. Think about how the British government treated the Irish during the Great Irish Famine.

The Ottomans sent a ship to transport relief supplies out of sympathy, but not only was it stopped by the British government, the supplies were also embezzled. Is this something a human being could do?

If you dare to show a lack of virtue on the first day of the lunar month, don't blame others for backstabbing you on the fifteenth day."

Ireland, which is so close to us, has this kind of relationship with the UK. Guess what other countries' attitude towards you, the UK, is.

There are countless countries that wish Britain bad luck, and Britain is the only former colonial power in human history that can make any former British colony unite and curse it when it is mentioned.

The Qing Dynasty is more human than them.

But at least for now, Britain is still the British Empire, whose homeland has not been invaded in the past 800 years. It can be arrogant, but this pride also makes Britain pay a potential price, that is, its homeland defense is almost zero.

Even the defensive turrets are antiques from the 19th century, and you can even find muzzle-loading smoothbore cannons on them.

"There are no decent fortifications around London. Our capital is practically naked!"

The British commander was very desperate, but he still tried his best to mobilize the local people to build various fortifications. At the same time, a large number of British troops that could be dispatched also rushed to the front line, using their lives and blood to delay the German army.

But the sky and the sea no longer belong to Britain. Faced with the optimized Stuka bombers, the British army was bombed to death.

In the previous battles between the Volunteer Army and the Japanese and Soviet armies, actual combat results have proven that the Stuka is a very excellent tactical bomber, except that it has short legs. However, after undergoing major modifications by the Volunteer Army, the Stuka successfully became a female... cough cough cough, I mean it has become even better, with a larger payload, longer range, and more accurate dive bombing. Although the cost has increased, Germany can accept it.

So this Stuka R model, which was designed to compete with the later Stuka, was produced in 1941 under the designation of Stuka B.

It is worth mentioning that the historical Stuka B was also a new model modified based on the Battle of Britain. Now the Stuka appears over London under the name of Type B. Isn’t this a reincarnation of fate?

The locals certainly didn't know about it, but that didn't stop them from being bombed by the Stukas.

The combination of high-powered aerial bombs and napalm bombs turned the German army into a burning legion, with flames burning wherever they passed. Nazi mouthpiece Goebbels directly declared on the radio that this was Germany's "Burning Crusade" against Britain.

"The flames of German revenge will burn everything. We will redefine the rules for the entire Europe and even the entire world!"

It has to be said that this Nazi propaganda minister was very good at inspiring people. From the German soldiers on the front lines to the workers in the factories in the rear of Germany, everyone was cheering for the great victory of the Third Reich.

They really saw the dawn of victory, a complete victory for Germany.

How did the British react?

They are being bombed. The current weather in London is cloudy and prone to bombs. After all, it is a foggy city. It is understandable that some strange things fall from the sky. During World War I, it was German airships, and now it is German bombers.

The British army's resistance was very tenacious, but they were far behind the Germans, especially in terms of armored strength. The German army directly pulled out the latest Panther tanks and performed a tank show of invincibility outside London. Wittmann's crew made a brilliant appearance and destroyed 49 British tanks and 17 armored vehicles in one day. On average, two shots were used to destroy one British armored unit. The gap between the two sides was so huge that it was difficult to understand.

The reasons for this situation are not complicated. On the one hand, the main armored units of the British Army at that time were the M3 series, Matilda series and Valentine series.

The Vickers M3 series is a light tank. Not to mention facing the Leopard, it can be easily defeated by the German Panzer IV H type modified according to the style of the Volunteer Army. The Matilda and Valentine are both infantry tanks, and their speed is completely at the standard of shopping. Facing the German armored soldiers with high comprehensive firepower, mobility and protection values ​​and rich combat experience, their death is more miserable than that of light tanks, because even if they cannot defeat the light tanks, they still have a chance to escape, while they can only choose between being destroyed and raising their hands.

In contrast, among the German armored forces, except for light tanks and armored vehicles used as reconnaissance forces, the main tanks have entered the medium tank stage, and the caliber of the artillery is above 75mm. The elite enhanced model of the Leopard is even equipped with a 105 gun, which is completely a forward-looking version of the E-50.

The British armored forces were bullied quite badly, and often found themselves in situations where half of their troops were beaten down before they even saw the enemy.

What's more, there were German planes in the sky. The German version of the cannon bird Stuka that came down from time to time to participate in the battle could easily blow up the head of any British tank in service. In less than half an hour after the battle started, the British armored forces on the front line were almost completely wiped out, and the subsequent infantry could only use explosive packs and cluster grenades to face the German tanks.

The scene was truly too hopeless, but with the capital right behind them, the British army showed enough bravery and actually used their flesh and blood to block the German attack, delaying the German army for three full days.

But that's all. If you look at the map, you will know that London is only 111 kilometers away from Folkestone. It is an important transportation hub between the UK and Europe. Ships from Europe will transfer to trains and cars here. Therefore, it is directly connected to London by rail and road. The fastest drive to London only takes one and a half hours.

It can be seen how terrible a price the British army paid to turn this one and a half hour journey into a three-day advance for the German army.

The three most elite divisions of the British Army in London were directly wiped out, and most of the subsequent filling-in were militiamen. They were indeed brave enough, but the impact of flesh and blood could not stop the crushing of steel. As early as World War I, the human wave tactics had succumbed to Maxim's language art. People really could not be sprayed by machine guns.

By September 27, 1941, the German army was less than 9 kilometers away from London, England, and the vanguard troops could already see the bell tower of Westminster Abbey.

That is the iconic building in London - Big Ben.

Global public opinion was in an uproar because it meant that London, England was losing ground, at least the suburbs had been completely lost.

In response, Xinhua expressed calmness, while the United States was very nervous. Japan held a parade to celebrate its ally's impending victory, while accelerating preparations for an attack on Australia. Italy expressed happiness and then launched a large-scale military operation in North Africa, where it was successfully beaten by local British troops.

A very classic Italian battle situation. Even if the enemy is fully debuffed, they cannot defeat it.

However, most countries in the world were rolling on the ground with excitement.

Britain, Britain, you have come to this day! What a great country, but it died too late. In order to commemorate Britain, today I can only tearfully eat three bowls of durian Wuhan hot dry noodles, chocolate Lao Gan Ma, and other dishes. Brothers who came to Sichuan and Wuhan, eat it!

Just a joke, but this shows how unpopular Britain is around the world. People who hate it have to line up to hate it. Now Germany is beating up Britain. Although it is not their own doing, it is great to watch it for fun.

Many people felt that this was a public execution of the old king before the new overlord ascended the throne.

It’s good to watch, I love watching it, and I enjoy watching it. It just needs this ultimate insult to be exciting enough!

Since Britain was no longer able to stop Germany's subsequent landing forces, and Germany was devoting all its resources to completely conquer Britain, the battle situation in London quickly developed in a direction that the Allies did not want to see.

Section 193: Conditions Unacceptable to the UK

(Second update, feeling sleepy but not sleepy, tangled)

Xilanjingzhou was very lively in 1941.

Xinhua's liberation history was much smoother than that of the University of Tokyo. Its founding was a regal image of a muscular warrior, imbued with martial virtues, prompting countless Asian nations to exclaim, "The Celestial Empire has returned." This is also the image they perceive Xinhua to hold. Compared to historical dynasties and empires, the current Xinhua is undoubtedly more glorious and righteous. Southeast Asian nations have already expressed their disapproval, saying, "What's wrong with being a dog?"

A generation of leaders full of idealism naturally hopes that these small countries can stand up and become independent, but players from later generations know very well that these small countries cannot do this, so they are more pragmatic in foreign relations. This mentality has definitely affected Xinhua's foreign policy. At least "no matter how trivial it is in diplomacy" will not be abused.

The original meaning of this statement is that no matter how trivial the matter is, it is important to do diplomacy at the national level. However, it has been deliberately abused to the point where foreign guests must be given preferential treatment in all aspects.

However, players will certainly not allow some guys with ulterior motives to use it this way. The supervisory power of the Volunteer Army across the country is very strong. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. After enough people went to the northwest and Siberia for labor reform, similar disturbances quickly subsided.

It may also have "some" something to do with the fact that all the relevant personnel were sent away by the players like a puzzle game.

It's just the growing pains of history. Don't worry about it. Just keep playing the music and dancing.

The characteristics of Xinhua’s diplomatic policy in the parallel world are: willing to cooperate, but requiring the other party to respect its friendship.

When the Tyrannosaurus Rex talks about friendship with the mouse, the mouse had better not have any other thoughts besides friendship, otherwise it would be disrespectful to its own life.

There is no way. Our ancestors said it very clearly a long time ago: barbarians fear power and do not cherish virtue.

Since they have to be dogs anyway, why can't they be my dogs?

Of course, we still give face and respect in diplomatic occasions, but if you don’t give Brother Long face, Brother Long will be unhappy. If Brother Long is unhappy, the consequences will be serious. As for how serious they are, why don’t you try it?

Don’t worry, nothing will die, really (smile of nuclear eel).

“We hope that support can help us as it did for Finland.”

British Ambassador to China Lampson Lamps was communicating with the volunteer army representatives with his head down in an almost pleading tone. His pitiful appearance was really refreshing.

What? You still sympathize with Daiying, a guy who lacks moral integrity?

No way, no way, no one would do anything, are you a Runren? A colonizer? A spiritual Englishman?

The first generation of the group present all had tense expressions. After all, this was a diplomatic occasion and they couldn't laugh. But Liu Qi, the representative of the Volunteer Army, was not so polite. He enjoyed Lan Pusheng's performance with a playful smile. -p

Historically, this was the British Ambassador to China in Chongqing, but now he is the British Ambassador to China in Xijing.

But Huan; no matter which British ambassador to China, he was arrogant in his bones and had too many demands. Unfortunately, he met the Volunteer Army. The players did not tolerate the other party at all. Any illegal behavior would be severely punished according to the laws of Xinhua. There would be no mercy, the process was rigorous, and the result was that no face was given to the powers.

Lan Pusheng's assistant was arrested by the police for assisting others in drug trafficking. Lan Pusheng led his men to argue with them, and just when they were about to succeed, a player rushed over and slapped him. Then, it was announced that all the British people involved in the police incident were sentenced to caning. They were stripped and whipped in public, without hoods, so that the local people could see the consequences of these law-breaking foreigners.

The British side naturally protested and used some personal connections (pro-British) to try to interfere. The players were naturally very considerate. The original five lashes were enough to get the job done, but it was increased to fifty lashes. The people who begged for mercy were all written into the players' internal notebook. They would first conduct a secret investigation. Those with problems would be arrested directly, and those without problems would be sent to remote areas to help with poverty alleviation in subsequent work transfers. Those who did not perform well would refer to the previous solution.

The fifty lashes caused Lan Pu to feel excruciating pain, and also made diplomats from other countries realize how to carry out their work in Xinhua. Anyway, no similar incidents have happened since then.

As for the assistant Lan Pusheng who was directly involved in drug trafficking and the relevant personnel of the British Embassy, ​​they directly sacrificed their blood to Mr. Lin in June.

With such a tragic memory, Lan Pusheng naturally could not be tough in front of Xinhua. He was much more gentle and polite in his daily interactions with others. The relevant content was reported on the front page of Xinhua News Agency for several days, allowing people across the country to fully understand the garbage nature of the "foreign masters" who bully the weak and fear the strong.

As for the diplomatic issue, it did not exist at all. The British side did not say anything afterwards, which opened the eyes of Xinhua's first generation of "eyes-catching" people and caused subtle changes in their hearts.

It turns out that the way to deal with foreigners is so simple, I understand!

They certainly won't handle it as aggressively as the players, but they'll definitely be a lot tougher.

In fact, Xinhua's official attitude has always been to be tough and never give in on bottom-line issues. It says the most polite words but takes the most brutal measures. Those who think that they have to take calcium tablets just because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks softly have a diode mentality that is really hopeless.

The well-trained Lan Pusheng was very good at speaking and pretending, but on the issue of the Volunteer Army, only the representatives of the Volunteer Army could express their views clearly. In this dialogue, the Xinhua Red Party was just here to join in the fun.

As a diplomat, Lan Pusheng's skill points are definitely correct. For example, he defined Germany as an invader and compared the support for Britain to the volunteer army helping Finland. In addition, the international volunteer army's external propaganda was like this, so his statement is really correct, because Germany was indeed an invader.

You volunteers should always take care of this. You can't define what invasion is only when you think others are being invaded.

"We sympathize with Britain's plight. Therefore, as long as Britain does one thing, the Volunteer Army will immediately provide assistance and do its utmost. This condition also applies to France and other European countries."

"Please say."

"Under the supervision of the Volunteer Army, abandon all colonies and allow the people of the colonies to establish independent countries."

"That's impossible!" Lan Pusheng stood up on the spot, then quickly sat down again. He said in a tone that suppressed his anger but didn't dare show it, "Not an inch of land in the British Empire is redundant."

"So when Churchill traded with the United States, he used surplus land?"

Lan Pusheng was obviously unable to answer this question and could only continue to emphasize: "The Volunteer Army should respect Britain's territorial sovereignty and territorial integrity."

"Of course we respect that, but the problem is, colonies aren't our homeland. Do I need to list all the awful things you've done in those lands? You all know how powerful our Volunteer Army's intelligence network is."

"But the Germans are invading us!"

"You can't wait until you're invaded to remember the Volunteer Army!" Liu Qi said coldly, "Please remember our name, the International Volunteer Army. We fight to liberate all of humanity. If you, Britain, had treated the countries you colonized as your own children, the International Volunteer Army wouldn't exist. We owe our existence to your kindness and generosity."

Lan Pusheng was speechless. He knew that the volunteers would not help because the conditions they proposed were so severe that not only Churchill but even King George V would not dare to agree to a single word.

We can only pray that the United States can give us some support, otherwise, the British royal family will have to redefine Britain's homeland in Canada.

It doesn't seem bad. It's a bit cold there, but it's very large, at least much larger than the UK.

After the Volunteer Army's reply was delivered to Churchill, the conservative resistance prime minister scolded him for a full minute, then sat down in his chair dejectedly. He knew that Britain could only rely on itself now.

May God bless Britain.

Compared with Lan Pusheng's treatment of Liu Qi's ridicule, the situation on the Soviet representative's side was much better.
