Attlee angrily threw the telegram sent from Fog City in front of Ribbentrop. He never expected that the Hans were actually plotting against him!
Ribbentrop had said that the Germans were going to attack Liverpool, but Attlee believed it and immediately sent a telegram to the British mainland, reminding them to be prepared. At that time, the Germans launched a feint attack against Liverpool, which made the British mainland misjudge and really thought that the Germans were going to attack Liverpool. As a result, they hurriedly sent 300,000 reinforcements!
Who knew that the Germans’ goal was not Liverpool, or in other words, at the beginning, the Germans’ goal was not Liverpool, but the British reinforcements coming from the south to the north!
In the Battle of Chester, the British army suffered heavy casualties. In the German bombardment, the 300,000 British troops were defeated and captured by the Germans everywhere. A total of 250,000 people were captured, and more than 40,000 nearly 50,000 people died in the battle. In the end, less than 1,000 British troops escaped from the Chester area. This 300,000 army can be said to be completely destroyed!
This news shocked the entire British Empire. After more than ten days of calm, the German army suddenly surrounded and attacked the reinforcements, resulting in their loss of troops and generals. The loss was the troops that originally protected the British capital, the Fog City. This made the British government’s top leaders extremely angry, and they blamed Attlee for the main responsibility for this failure, which made Attlee speechless!
He just kindly reminded the locals, who knew that the Hans were deliberately setting up a trap and playing him!
If he had known Hans’s sinister intentions, he would definitely not have acted as Hans’s mouthpiece and would never have sent the previous telegram to the mainland!
With anger at being deceived and grief over the tragic deaths of tens of thousands of compatriots, Attlee hated Ribbentrop to the extreme. If there were no German guards here, he would have rushed up and strangled Ribbentrop to death.
This guy did such a crazy thing, but he still acted like nothing happened, without any shame or conscience at all!
“What’s wrong, Mr. Attlee? Who made you angry? Why are you so angry?”
Ribbentrop was not angry at all because of Attlee’s unreasonable behavior. On the contrary, he greeted Attlee with a smile. This nonchalant attitude made Attlee even angrier!
“Humph, you know what you did in your heart!”
Attlee stared at Ribbentrop’s eyes fiercely and said to him.
Ribbentrop shrugged:”Me? Did I do something to make you unhappy? If so, then I apologize first!”
Ribbentrop apologized, but in fact he had no sincerity at all. Judging from his expression, he did not have any intention of repenting at all
“Humph, stop pretending here. You used fake news to cause us to lose 300,000 troops. That’s your purpose, right?”
Attlee regretted it very much. He regretted that he had believed Ribbentrop’s words. Why did he believe the words from the enemy’s mouth so easily?
If he hadn’t been so impulsive and made a decision in such a hurry, the British Empire might not have suffered such heavy losses now!
“Oh? Are you talking about the news that I said our army would attack Liverpool?”
Ribbentrop said with a smile. Seeing that the great minister of the British cabinet was fooled by him, he felt very interesting, so he deliberately played with him for a while!
“Isn’t it? Isn’t your army’s purpose to besiege the enemy and attack the reinforcements?”
Ribbentrop shook his head:”Of course not, our target is still Liverpool. If you don’t believe me, send a telegram back and ask your government, who owns Liverpool now?”
Ribbentrop’s words made Attlee waver again. He didn’t know whether the other party was telling the truth or a lie this time!
But he couldn’t send a telegram back to ask immediately, because the mainland had just sent a telegram to scold him, and it would be uncomfortable to send a telegram to ask about this matter now.
“Look, you don’t believe the truth I told, so I can’t do anything about it!”
Ribbentrop shook his head slightly, looking helpless!
This made Attlee’s suspicion even heavier. Looking at Ribbentrop’s appearance, did he seem to be telling the truth?
Attlee hesitated, not daring to completely believe Ribbentrop, nor to completely disbelieve him.
The result of his previous trust in Ribbentrop was that the British army lost 300,000 troops, so this time he didn’t dare to believe him easily.
However, after destroying the 300,000 British troops and completing the goal of besieging and attacking the reinforcements, in a short period of time, the other British troops might not dare to go north to support Liverpool easily.
After all, no one knew whether the German army would come to encircle Liverpool again.
Attack the reinforcements at the right time!
Therefore, the German army actually got a great opportunity to attack Liverpool.
If they mobilized troops to Liverpool at this time, other British troops might be hesitant and dare not go north easily.
This would give the German army enough time to deal with the defenders in Liverpool!
Therefore, it is difficult to judge whether Ribbentrop’s words are true or false!
Attlee thought for a long time, his face was gloomy. He came in a rage, but ended up with a gloomy face. He got nothing, but left with a heavy heart!
Seeing Attlee’s leaving back, Ribbentrop raised a smile at the corner of his mouth:”It seems that the Führer’s trick worked!”
“After this incident, Attlee’s reputation within the British government is probably ruined. Others will also isolate him, but the ability he showed is not very good, and his indecisive character is also very obvious. So it seems that the head of state’s original judgment was correct. This guy can indeed act as our spokesperson in the British government, become our puppet, and help us manage the British government after the war!”
Ribbentrop was still very surprised that Attlee came to the negotiations in person, but soon he thought of a way. After discussing with Mainz, the two of them made a plan, a plan to select qualified puppets!
