: 0.040s Scan: 0.021sAfter learning the news of the failure of the negotiations, Prime Minister Lloyd George felt that things were not going well!
The Hans rejected their conditions and did not put forward their own conditions, which means that they may no longer have any expectations for the negotiations!
In other words, Hans’s next move is only the war!
His worries were not wrong. When the news of the breakdown of the negotiations came out, the German army’s actions immediately began to accelerate!
In the south, Guderian’s First Army began to attack frequently, and in just a few days, it successively captured 12 towns and took down Coventry, the former industrial town of the sun never sets.
The German army in the north also quickly moved south under the command of Model, and attacked Birmingham, an important town in the central part of the sun never sets on May 7.
After taking this place, the German army’s northern and southern armies successfully joined forces.
The west of the sun never sets has completely fallen, and the territory they control has been compressed to a very small area near the capital!
Although the controlled area has shrunk a lot, the number of defeated soldiers and refugees pouring into the Fog City has continued to increase.
By May 29, 3 million soldiers and 2.1 million refugees had poured into the Fog City. The entire city was packed with people, and there was almost no place to stay!
At this time, the British government was completely desperate. The influx of more than 20 million soldiers and civilians caused their food consumption to increase rapidly!
By the beginning of June, an extremely serious famine had occurred in the Fog City!
In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the British army, the British government refused to distribute food to the refugees who escaped, but chose to give food to the British soldiers!
For the top government officials and the upper class, they no longer care about the lives of the refugees, but the army cannot ignore it. If they don’t give food to the army, the army’s guns may point at themselves first!
Soldiers with guns in their hands are not people they can easily offend, especially in this chaotic situation. The prestige of the British Government has almost fallen to the bottom, and the troops below have refused to execute their orders. If they don’t give them food, the army may just rob them themselves!
“”I regret it now!”
Faced with this situation that was almost out of control, many senior government officials, including Prime Minister Lloyd George, regretted it!
If they had known earlier, they would not have asked for an exorbitant price and surrendered to Hans honestly.
But now they can’t even surrender. The British government has lost control of the grassroots, and the German army has blocked the Fog City. They can’t even send people out, and they can’t even surrender.
If they didn’t surrender, the German army would not lift the blockade. They advanced southward step by step in an orderly manner, removing the British army’s strongholds outside the Fog City bit by bit.
However, the speed of the German army slowed down a lot, giving people the feeling that they suddenly became much more stable. They were ready to launch a general attack on the city without completely clearing the obstacles outside.
At this time, famine had begun to spread across the Fog City. People who had lost their food began to fight for a little bit of food. Some civilians even made crazy moves to attack the army after hearing that the army had food!
At this time, food was life. If the civilians took away their food, it would be equivalent to taking their lives. Therefore, facing the surging civilians, the British soldiers chose to suppress them by force without hesitation. As a result, a large number of civilians died tragically under their guns!
This scene happened to be discovered and photographed by Hans’ spy hidden in the Fog City. The next day, this scene quickly spread all over the world through newspapers, causing an uproar all over the world!
“The sun never sets!”
“It’s over long ago!”
When the politicians of many countries heard the news, they couldn’t help but sigh.
They felt sad when they thought that the British Empire, which was so powerful a few months ago, had fallen to such an extent in just two months!
Similarly, the fact that the German army was able to destroy the British Empire in such a short time also refreshed their understanding of Hans’ strength!
Hans’ strength was even stronger than they had thought. Although it took them longer to destroy the British Empire than to destroy Gaul, the damage to the British Empire was much more serious than that to Gaul!
After this battle, the British Empire was defeated. Less than half of the people in the mainland may survive, and the rest will probably die!
Compared with them, the Gauls who surrendered early, their results are much better!
Thinking of this, the hearts of all countries can’t help but beat drums. If Hans attacks them, should they fight or surrender?
The ideas of the top government officials are completely different from those of the grassroots people. The politicians of various countries know the sun never sets pill through this news, and Europe is going to change, but they don’t think too much about the grassroots people.
However, when the civilians of various countries saw this scene, their feelings were completely different from those of the top leaders!
“This country of the British Empire deserves to be destroyed. They actually allowed their own army to commit violence and did nothing about it!”
“Yes, isn’t this the Sun Never Sets people too cruel? Their army is slaughtering civilians!”
“That’s right, look at those people, they are all running away, and the army is shooting at their backs, they are not leaving any chance of survival!”
“The British army is really a novice in foreign wars but an expert in civil wars. They are not good at fighting foreign enemies but are good at suppressing internal forces. If they had been so ruthless when facing the German army before, how could they be surrounded by the German army and unable to move in such a small place as the capital?”
After all, those who were massacred were civilians, so the people of various countries felt a little sad about the death of the rabbit, so they did not have any good feelings towards the British government in their hearts.
In their view, the reason why the British army dared to treat civilians like this was entirely due to the orders of the British government. If there were no orders from the government, why would they dare to do this?
How could these people know that the foggy city was out of control, the British government had become a decoration, and they could no longer control their own army!
For the British people living in the foggy city, the only thing that can save them at this moment is perhaps There are only the German troops outside!
Their current life is no longer a life for human beings. No matter how bad the future is, it will not be worse than this!
Therefore, facing the joint oppression of the government and the army, the minds of the lower-class people in the British Empire began to change. They have completely lost their identification with the government and the army of their own country.
The German army, which was originally an invader, has become a savior in their eyes. Many people even secretly began to contact the German army and prepared to be the guide!
