Transmigrated as the Crown Prince
Chapter 508 Entering the city
With the huge roar of the engine, one hovercraft slid out of the dock, and a huge mist immediately rose from the sea. The function of the air cushion greatly reduces the movement resistance and increases the speed of the ship. However, after the compressed air is ejected, it escapes around, causing considerable waves and splashing a lot of water, which consumes a lot of energy. Although the ship has increased its speed, it also requires a lot of horsepower, so these hovercrafts are equipped with high-power aero engines.
The hovercraft formation sailed upstream along the Thames River and sailed into downtown London through the breach in the river dam that was blown open. The water in many parts of London is more than a meter deep. Although the potholes on the ground cannot be seen, it is not difficult to see from the unrecognizable bombed-out buildings on both sides of the street how violent the bombardment in London has been in recent days.
Many citizens gathered behind the windows of these dilapidated buildings and watched the hovercrafts passing by with complicated expressions. After blowing up the river dam, Yannick ordered the V1 and V3 bases to stop shelling, and did not launch a large-scale air raid on London; the London residents hiding in the underground air raid shelters took a sea bath and returned to the ground.
Many people gathered on the roof, pointing at the helicopters whizzing past in the sky. Many people have never seen this new type of equipment. The hovercraft that can walk on water and land freely and the helicopter with the propeller above the body all make them feel novel.
The lieutenant on a hovercraft shouted a warning. "Everyone be on alert!" Although the British government has surrendered and the London City Hall has issued a "Letter to London Citizens" to the whole city, there is no guarantee that some hot-headed guys will do something stupid. Before coming, they also asked their superiors what to do if they encountered resistance from civilians or armed personnel disguised as civilians. The commander only gave them a word. "Are you holding fire sticks in your hands?"
Several helicopters flew straight to Buckingham Palace and hovered over the palace. One by one, heavily armed soldiers hung from the ropes of the helicopter and landed on the roof of the palace.
A soldier raised his foot and stepped on it hard, and said excitedly. "Haha, who would have thought that one day we would be able to step on Buckingham Palace! This kind of moment should really be taken to commemorate."
The prototype of Buckingham Palace was originally the hunting ground of Henry VIII. This king loved to hunt on horseback, and the area around Buckingham Palace was originally a deer park for him to shoot hunting. It was not until a hundred years later that the Duke of Buckingham built the first residence here. The Duke liked the gorgeous European style and worked extremely hard when building this house. It took several years and a lot of money to build it. When it was finally completed At this time, the Duke was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
This house was later purchased by George III as a manor for the queen to live in. Eventually, as the city of London took shape, the original suburbs became the center of the city. The original luxurious mansion was repaired and expanded by several generations of the British royal family, and finally became It became this huge and luxurious palace in front of me.
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business." At this time, the captain who was abseiling together began to assign tasks. "Frank, take your platoon to occupy the high ground and set up a firepower point. Hans, Schmidt, go take down the Union Jack flag and hang it with our national flag. The rest of the people come down with me. If you encounter any resistance, shoot to death! But don't get hurt. Do the royal family members know?" They are responsible for the north side of the palace, and the royal private bedrooms are in this area.
a soldier asked. "What if the royal family resists?"
The captain thought for a moment. "Injure them. You must remember that everything here is the spoils of the empire. No one is allowed to hide or embezzle it. To control your own hands and feet is to protect your own head. I think everyone is very smart. I don't need to repeat it again. ."
"action!"
Buckingham Palace covers an area of 830,000 square feet and has a total of 775 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal rooms and bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms.
There are more than a hundred rooms in the north area, but it seems that they are worried about being violently destroyed, so all the room doors are open, which makes it easier for them to search.
The entire fourth floor was carefully searched, and the guards, housekeepers and servants they encountered were locked up in a room. A squad of soldiers was left to guard these people and went down to the third floor to continue the search.
Just as he walked down the stairs, the captain saw seven or eight guards guarding the door of a room not far away.
Seeing these loaded German soldiers approaching menacingly, the guard captain spoke in a neither humble nor condescending manner. "Captain, this is the dormitory of His Majesty King George VI. I hope you can give me enough respect."
The captain said coldly. "Sorry, we are also responsible. From now on, we will take over here. You can go and rest." With a wave of his hand, several German soldiers escorted the guards over without any explanation.
The captain knocked politely and pushed the door open. Compared with the luxury of the entire palace, this room is unexpectedly simple; I can't believe that this is the bedroom of the king of the empire where the sun never sets.
After looking around the entire room, the captain saluted Queen Elizabeth, who was sitting on the sofa with a plain expression. "Sorry to disturb you, Her Majesty the Queen. We need to search here, please forgive me." The two little princesses leaned close to their mother, staring nervously at these soldiers who were full of evil spirits.
Queen Elizabeth nodded silently. "Search."
The captain ordered behind him. "Search carefully, don't touch anything." In a bedroom inside, he saw George VI lying motionless on the hospital bed, with a needle inserted into the back of his hand and an infusion hanging. The whole person looked haggard, as if he might die at any time. The captain did not disturb him and quietly withdrew, leaving a squad of soldiers to guard here before continuing to search other rooms.
In addition to Buckingham Palace, there were many places that the German army needed to occupy, such as the war headquarters, London City Hall, the Police Department, telephone exchanges, radio stations, newspaper offices, major hospitals, places of interest, banks and financial exchanges, and countless others. Some facilities can continue to operate, while others are temporarily closed and mothballed, depending on the circumstances.
There are also some military facilities, command organs, arsenals and military production enterprises in the city, especially some military research institutions, which also need to be occupied, blocked and cleaned up by troops. Ordnance, important production tools and research materials cannot be allowed to escape.
When the German troops stormed into the Metropolitan Police Department, they found that the police here had put all their weapons in storage, and they encountered no resistance. The very cooperative expressions of senior leaders can help the German army maintain social order.
