Minister of Munitions could not solve this problem, so he went to find Prime Minister Lloyd George and asked him what decision to make!
“Hans is plotting this. They released our soldiers and created the illusion that Hans is a righteous man. This will destroy our army’s will to resist. Since surrendering without resistance can save lives, no one will choose to resist in the future. They will surrender when they see the German army!”
The Minister of Munitions was still worried about the pitiful amount of food in his hands, but Prime Minister Lloyd George had seen through the phenomenon and saw the most worrying problem of this incident!
Hans released 400,000 prisoners of war at one time. Of course, he wanted to use this to drag down their logistics and completely crush them, but what was more serious was that this was a blatant psychological tactic. The experience of Liverpool and Manchester City told the British army that when facing the German army, if they insisted on resisting, they would face the same ending as Liverpool. They would either be killed or captured.
And the prisoners who fell into Hans’ hands, from There is no good ending for them. Hans’ favorite free labor force is these prisoners. He can command them to work without paying them wages, and he doesn’t need to care about their physical health and safety. He lets them do those jobs that are labor-intensive and extremely dangerous!
So for Hans, they will take as many prisoners as there are. For the prisoners, falling into Hans’ hands is definitely not a good thing!
Therefore, when facing the German army, the British army is actually unwilling to be captured. They will only surrender if they are forced to do so and will be killed if they do not surrender. In other situations The British army’s resistance was still relatively resolute.
At this time, the German army captured 400,000 British troops in Manchester, but released them all in the blink of an eye, on the grounds that these British troops surrendered voluntarily and did not resist!
Once this precedent is set, the British army will probably have to weigh in their hearts whether they should fight to the death when encountering German attacks in the future! If the resistance is successful, then there is nothing to worry about, but if it fails, then their ending will be very bad.
However, if they surrender directly without resistance, there will be no problem with their life safety!
Choose the lesser of two evils. As long as the British soldiers… If the soldiers were normal, they should know what choice they should make. The answer is naturally to surrender to Hans!
After all, the current situation of the British Empire is very clear in the hearts of every British soldier. They are short of soldiers and food, and their retreat has been cut off. They can’t even count on reinforcements. If they continue like this, they will starve themselves to death without the German army actively attacking them!
In this situation, the British soldiers are panic-stricken. Who has the heart to fight for the country? Even if they defeat the German army, what will happen? Can defeating the German army and eating it resolve the current dilemma?
“Then, what should we do?”
When the Minister of Munitions heard Lloyd George’s words, he was stunned. He had only focused on his own little piece of land before, and he didn’t expect the matter to be so serious.
“What can we do? Let’s take a step forward!”
Faced with this deadlock, Prime Minister Lloyd George was powerless. They had no cards to play, so even though they knew what strategies and purposes the enemy had used, they were still powerless!
The feeling of having to watch the enemy strangle you bit by bit was really too uncomfortable and too aggrieved!
“For now, we can only hope for negotiations with Attlee!”
……
In Ireland, the situation in the UK was deteriorating, and Attlee could no longer bear it. He took the initiative to find Ribbentrop and apologized to him:”Foreign Minister Ribbentrop, I was too emotional before. Please forgive me if I have offended you!”
Attlee lowered his posture this time. He had to lower his posture. The situation in the country was like this, and the German army began to take action. Not only did Model in the north begin to attack southward, he captured cities and captured hundreds of thousands of British soldiers, and then released them.
Guderian in the south also began to move northward, eroding the small towns around the capital of the UK, Fog City, and every time he broke through a place, he released the people in that place, and then drove them towards the capital of the UK!
This method worked quickly. More than 5 million defeated troops and driven people poured into the Fog City within just one week. With so many people pouring into the Fog City, the food in the Fog City was completely exhausted. Even if they used the food rationing system to strictly control their current food reserves, they could only last for half a month at most!
Half a month is still an optimistic estimate. Once the German army continues this action and drives more people into the capital of the British Empire, their food will be consumed faster, and they will collapse sooner!
Faced with such a terrible situation, the British Empire government was completely helpless. Although they still had 3 million troops, these troops had completely lost their will to fight. In the absence of ammunition and food, if they were sent to the battlefield, they would probably turn against the Germans and help the Germans attack the British Empire!
Therefore, the British Empire now had no way out. Their only way to survive was to negotiate with Hans. No matter what Hans asked, as long as Hans agreed to a truce, they would be satisfied!
“Haha, I wonder what Mr. Attlee is here for this time?”
Ribbentrop waved his hand generously, indicating that he did not mind the other party’s previous offense.
He was in a good mood.
After Model’s psychological warfare tactics worked, the German army successively eliminated several towns in the north of the British army.
With the examples of Liverpool and Manchester, the garrisons in these towns were very sensible.
When they saw the German army coming, they either took the initiative to flee or surrendered to the German army.
No one chose to resist.
If this situation continues, the German army can go all the way to the capital of the British Empire without bloodshed.
By then, millions of people will be killed. The defeated army and tens of millions of civilians all poured into the foggy city. The German army did not need to attack at all. They only needed to send troops to besiege the foggy city. If the British did not want to starve to death, they would take the initiative to surrender!
In this case, it was meaningless to negotiate or not. Unless Attlee surrendered to Hans unconditionally on behalf of the British government, there would be nothing to talk about!
