The ruins left by the German bombing a few weeks ago have not been completely cleared. Because of the threat of air raids, more than half of the population of Fog City has been lost.
Of course, this large part of the population was not all killed by the bombing, but they were afraid that the Germans would bomb Fog City again, so they rushed to the countryside to take refuge.
However, most of the supplies in the British mainland depend on external transportation. If the residents of these cities run to the countryside, even filling their stomachs is a problem. Moreover, if the population is too widely distributed, even if the British government wants to provide relief to them, it will be difficult to take care of everyone.
So they fled Fog City. Although they will not be threatened by German air raids for the time being, this is not a wise choice.
At least when they are in Fog City, they have a greater chance of getting disaster relief supplies issued by the government to help them through the crisis.
If they go to the countryside, the possibility of leading disaster relief supplies is very low, so many people will definitely starve to death in the wilderness!
However, the British government currently has no time to take care of these people. Compared with the problems of these people, they have more serious problems to solve!
“The Spaca Gulf is still in our hands. The Imperial Power has been salvaged, but it is severely damaged and needs to be repaired in the shipyard!”
The Minister of the Navy reported the final results of the Spaca Gulf raid to the cabinet and the king. There is no doubt that the Royal Navy suffered heavy losses. Their battleships were hit hard again, including the Nelson. The losses of other heavy cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers were not small.
If the main force of the Royal Navy was not in the Spaca Gulf, but was performing missions outside, their losses would be even more severe!
“After this battle, our maritime advantage in the North Sea region has completely disappeared, and the German army can easily threaten our homeland from the east!”
The words of the Minister of the Navy are what make the British most worried!
Combined with the warning just sent by the Eagle Sauce, the German army is very likely to open up a second battlefield in the east of the sun and send the German Second Army to land here.
If the German army really does this, then the British army must strengthen the defense of the thousands of kilometers of coastline in the east. Otherwise, as long as a little gap is left for the German army, they may seize the opportunity and use it as a breakthrough to land from here. The second batch of German landing troops has landed in Bournemouth. It is said that the landing troops are Guderian’s First Army!
And just as the German navy launched a sneak attack on Spaka Bay, the German army also launched a fierce attack on land at the same time. They attacked the city of Southampton, which was heavily defended by the British. With the cooperation of the Air Force and the Navy, the German army showed a posture of determination to win the city of Southampton!
The defenders here fought extremely hard, and the casualties were extremely heavy. The British army Although they have an advantage in terms of military strength, they are at a disadvantage in the scene, so they don’t know how long they can hold on!
Once the city of Southampton falls, the southern gate of the Never-Setting Sun will be completely opened. At that time, more German troops will land on their homeland from the European continent. It will be more difficult to stop the German attack and drive the German army back to the sea!
At this time, the British army wanted to put all the troops in the country to the south to repel the invading German army from the south!
The reason why they couldn’t do this was because the German army might launch a second landing battle against them from other directions, making them lose sight of one thing and be completely broken through by the German army!
At this time, their worries became a reality. There were more and more intelligence and signs showing that the German army was really going to do this, which made the Never-Setting Sun people highly nervous. They knew very well that if they failed to stop the second landing of the German army, then the result of the Never-Setting Sun Battle would be very bleak!
“How is the situation in Bournemouth? Is Southampton still in our hands?”
King George V looked a lot thinner. The bombing that lasted for more than half a month made him nervous all day long!
The existence of the German army’s heavy bunker-buster bombs made King George V feel insecure.
When he thought of the royal family members who died tragically in the air-raid shelter under Buckingham Palace, he felt very frightened!
The German army’s heavy bunker-buster bombs used the lives of dozens of royal family members to prove to the world their own capabilities. Even if they hid in the air-raid shelter, they might not be safe!
If George V’s whereabouts were exposed, and the German spies in the British Empire discovered it and reported it to the German Air Force, then it would not be long before a heavy bomb would come straight at him!
By then, maybe even his own life could not be saved!
So this For a period of time, George V was always on edge and did not dare to stay in one place for too long. He attached great importance to the confidentiality of his itinerary, fearing that his whereabouts would be leaked and lead to the German army’s focused attack!
It must be said that King George V’s caution really saved his life.
Mainz did have a plan to behead the British Empire!
If the German army could paralyze the central government of the British Empire before the attack, plunge them into chaos, and make their millions of troops in the country leaderless, then the German landing operation would definitely be much easier.
In order to paralyze the central government of the British Empire, there are two people who must be killed.
One is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Lloyd George himself, and the other is the King of the British Empire, that is, George V.
Kill Lloyd George Jr.���Prime Minister, the government gathering of the Sun Never Sets fell into chaos.
And if the King of the Sun Never Sets is killed, the new Prime Minister cannot be appointed, and their political chaos will be further exacerbated!
The bombing of Buckingham Palace proved that using earth-penetrating bombs to deal with air-raid shelters is effective.
As long as the location of the enemy’s air-raid shelter is found, the German army will have a chance to kill the people hiding inside!
However, a big problem is how can they determine the enemy’s location?
To determine the enemy’s location, they can only contact Hans’s spies lurking in the Sun Never Sets homeland, let them track and lock the place where the high-level government officials of the Sun Never Sets are hiding, and then send the location back to the homeland, and then the homeland will send bombers to carry out the bombing mission!
There is a big problem here, that is, the time problem!
The spy’s telegram is sent back to the homeland, the homeland confirms the intelligence and then passes it on to the Air Force, and the Air Force sends bombers to the Sun Never Sets for bombing!
This takes a lot of time, and once the enemy moves during this period, the bombing operation will fail!
In fact, the German army has carried out such operations several times, but because the other party left too early, the operation failed and the decapitation mission was not completed!
