The Third Reich in Desperation

He has never underestimated Reinhardt, the "sergeant" who climbed up to the position of head of state step by step. In the past 20 years, Churchill's official career has been turbulent, but the German head of state, Reinhardt, has been as stable as Mount Tai. .

In the past 20 years, Germany has grown from a weak country defeated by war, a dilapidated country with less than [-] soldiers and insufficient money for civilians, to become the largest beast in the European continent.

The harsh and cruel "Treaty of Versailles" that seemed to destroy Germany completely has now almost become a piece of waste paper.The money owed by Germany no longer has to be repaid, and the lost territories have been snatched back with interest.

As for the German Army... let alone one hundred thousand, now there are more than one million!

Reinhardt can do this, doesn't it prove how terrifying his ability is? !

At least, if he put Churchill in such a big environment as Germany, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish as much as Reinhardt.

Who would still say that Reinhardt is a person who does not do his job properly and got to where he is today by luck.He, Churchill, would first sneer at that person's IQ!

By luck?After searching all over the British Empire, can you find someone with such luck?If you can find it, then this theory makes sense, but the key is that you can't find it!

"I have to admit that the development speed of the Germans in the past 20 years is really too terrifying." Sitting in the office of his Secretary of the Navy, Churchill talked about this kind of growth in front of a group of cronies and subordinates without hesitation. Ambitious topic.

After hearing this, a lieutenant colonel of the navy interjected unconvinced: "Sir, although Germany's strength seems to have become much stronger, their current apparent strength is only the third place in Europe. "

"Yes, our British Empire is a world-class superpower. No matter its technological background or military strength, it is not comparable to an upstart like Germany. In addition, our ally France, which ranks second in combat effectiveness in Europe, there is no need to worry about the Germans. threat." An aide in a suit also said, "If you want me to say, if Prime Minister Chamberlain hadn't been too cowardly, Germany would have been wiped out by us a hundred times long ago!"

The "Churchillites" here are not ignorant and arrogant, their arrogance stems from sufficient strength.This kind of strength absolutely did not exist in Poland when it was just defeated by Germany!

Not to mention that German tanks cannot cross the English Channel, and the German navy is only as strong as a squadron of the British Empire.

In their eyes, even if the United Kingdom does not make a move, the French Legion, which has the title of Europe's first army, also has the strength to defeat the German army on its own.

Coupled with the support of 10 top-ranked main divisions of the British platoon, it is almost impossible to lose!

"Twenty years ago, who would have believed that Germany, divided among the great powers, would have the power to defeat the 'cavalry kingdom' Poland?" Contrary to the powerful roar of the general's staff, Churchill's voice seemed a little erratic.

Ignoring the reactions of his cronies, Churchill continued to say indifferently: "Ten years ago, who would have guessed that the territory of the Germans would double to what it is today?"

"It seems that the current initiative is still in our hands..." Churchill glanced around seriously, "But in fact, we have reached the moment when we have to take action!"

"From the perspective of the development speed of Germany's strength, if you don't knock it down as soon as possible, maybe in a few years, the British Empire will face an enemy that is too strong to face alone!"

"And at that time, when we look back, we will find that Britain's allies have already been defeated by Germany one by one..."

Churchill's words struck everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt.

Indeed, Britain has missed countless good opportunities and allowed the fledgling Germany to grow step by step.And those allies who originally stood in the British camp, even Czechoslovakia and Poland with powerful military power, have become part of Germany's power!

Britain, the superpower that has maintained its status as a world power for two centuries and took the throne of the "empire on which the sun never sets", has been intoxicated in the glory of the past for too long, too long...

While other countries are fighting bloody battles and tempering themselves in the flames of war, the British soldiers have degenerated into a group of decorations on the English Channel side.

No matter how well equipped an army is, no matter how many people there are, it may not be able to defeat a poorly equipped army.Besides, the equipment of the Germans is not bad at all!

"Sir! I am very glad that you were able to take the position in time. Only you can lead us to make the right choice." The confident lieutenant colonel saluted Churchill before: "It is the honor of my life to follow you. A bloody Englishman, the greatest luck!"

Churchill smiled, undeniably.He could feel the sincerity of the lieutenant colonel. Everyone here has suppressed Chamberlain's cowardice for too long.What they need is to vent, a tough leader who can lead them to lash out on the battlefield.

Clearly, history is now handing this opportunity into his hands!

"It is our honor to follow you!"

Immediately afterwards, other followers also shouted out.

"Follow Minister Churchill to the death! Long live the British Empire!"

Just when the atmosphere was in full swing, Churchill's confidential secretary stumbled into the office: "Minister! Finland sent a request for help to the League of Nations, claiming that Soviet troops are bombarding their territory!"

The intrusion of the confidential secretary drew everyone's attention back, and the meeting room, which was full of pride just now, became completely silent in an instant.

"The Soviets dared to blatantly attack Finland?" Churchill muttered to himself, "It seems that this red beast doesn't take the constraints of the League of Nations seriously at all."

Because the United States, Italy, and Japan withdrew one after another, and the Soviet Union and Germany, under the guidance of Reinhardt, colluded to reject the League of Nations.

In today's League of Nations, among the five permanent members, only the United Kingdom and France are present.The other three originally belonged to the United States, Italy, and Japan as permanent members of the council, but they have been waiting vacantly.

Therefore, the current League of Nations is almost completely under the control of the two major powers, Britain and France.The success of Finland's appeal to the League of Nations actually depends only on the attitudes of Britain and France.

"Don't be disturbed!" Churchill, who was under the spotlight, said forcefully: "From the precedent of Poland, there must be some kind of cooperative relationship between the Soviet Union and Germany. If there are Germans behind the Soviet attack You're messing around, this matter is going to be troublesome..."

Will the Germans cooperate with the Soviet invasion of Western Europe?No one can say that.

Although there are ideological confrontations between Germany and the Soviet Union, it can even be said that they are incompatible.But the ending of the Polish campaign has shown that the real relationship between these two countries is definitely not as bad as it seems on the surface!

"This really makes people have to care..." Churchill frowned, turned and instructed the confidential secretary: "I heard that the German government held an important large-scale event today. The news came back Did the Germans take this event to announce any important measures, such as the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union?"

Churchill had a premonition that some unexpected big news might come from this large-scale event in Germany.It is necessary to take a good look at the details.

Text Chapter 229 Reliable

"Are you talking? Didn't you say there was news?" Churchill yelled at the confidential secretary angrily.

According to the confidential secretary's answer, the news from Germany came back 10 minutes ago.

However, the young secretary was going to report such an important matter at the end.

"Why didn't you tell me the news earlier?!" Churchill was furious.

"I... other than me, this news is not important..." The confidential secretary was obviously intimidated by Churchill's aura, and he trembled when he spoke.

This confidential secretary in her twenties is really innocent.His judgment is not bad, and the arrangements are very reasonable.To decide which is more important, the naked parade of the Germans or the invasion of Finland, a normal person would choose the news of the invasion of Finland as more urgent.

However, in the eyes of Churchill, who was unaware, compared with the intelligence of a small country like Finland, a powerful country like Germany should report German intelligence first.

"Hurry up! If you delay my understanding of the Germans' intentions, believe it or not, I will hand you over to MI[-] for treason!" Churchill, who was burning with anger, threatened the young confidential secretary.

Although it is absolutely impossible for the delay in reporting to be related to the crime of treason, and it is impossible for Churchill to really deal with him, this inexperienced secretary was still frightened.

The confidential secretary who was afraid that he would be sent to the prison hurriedly took out a white document and opened it hastily.

Files in white represent the file classification with the lowest urgency.

Glancing at the color of the document, Churchill sighed lightly.Although the family of this confidential secretary has been a British citizen for several generations, and he is loyal and reliable, he is too young after all.He can't even do the classification work well, so he is really not suitable for the post of confidential secretary.

Picking up the water glass, Churchill sipped the water while beckoning the confidential secretary to start reporting.

"On the morning of November 11, Reinhardt retrieved a large number of famous German generals and political celebrities with great fanfare."

"At 1:30 p.m., German high-level officials held a large-scale high-level meeting at Reinhardt's residence in Berlin."

"At 2:05, the SS in charge of the Berlin garrison took over the security of the city center and cleared the streets."

"At 2:30, under the leadership of German Führer Reinhardt, high-level German military and political leaders dressed in a pair of underwear and jogged around the center of Berlin."
