Perhaps it was because he was relatively weak now, but Lin Wei, who had just woken up for a while, started to feel sleepy again. Although I knew it was not the time to sleep, sometimes it was not Lin Wei's decision to decide what happened. Lin Wei simply fell asleep again.
During the period when Lin Wei was hospitalized, as Lin Wei's father, Gustav began to take care of his son's life for the first time in his life. Worried about the health of Linwei's mother, Berta Krupp, and because Linwei's wife was eight months pregnant, Gustav came to England alone. Looking at Lin Wei's military police and the usually heavy-handed nurses, Gustav was very suspicious of these people's ability to take care of people, so he single-handedly took care of Lin Wei's daily life.
This move moved Lin Wei quite a bit. In Lin Wei's eyes, Gustav had always presented a stern image. When he was a child, he treated Lin Wei like a robot, which made Lin Wei deliberately forget about it in his mind for a long time. Gustav, because when Lin Wei was a child, Gustav really subverted Lin Wei's image of his father. It wasn't until Lin Wei reached his teens that he gradually recognized Gustav's behavior. Why did he agree with it? It's simple, because Gustav's education and strictness have gradually begun to show their power when Lin Wei was a teenager.
It was originally a very warm thing. After more than thirty years of rebirth in this life, Lin Wei finally enjoyed his father's care instead of being strict from beginning to end. But Lin Wei immediately understood how naive his thoughts were. Rather than letting Gustav take care of him, Lin Wei really hoped that his military police, who knew nothing but killing, would take care of him and nothing else, because Gustav really didn't know how to take care of people.
Putting hot or cold porridge into Lin Wei's mouth without trying it was just childish. Within a few days of the intravenous drip, Lin Wei could wake up from the pain. When he saw that the drip had already been administered, Lin Wei's blood It had already started to rush up the needle, but Gustav didn't seem to notice. Usually at this time, he was either holding a newspaper or calculating some formula. In short, he didn't wait quietly for Lin Wei to finish the injection. when.
During this period of time, General Guderian's armored group had been rampaging across the land of Scotland, unable to stop the armored group at all. However, Montgomery never showed up after leading his troops to break through at the Battle of Bradford. For the time being, no one knows how London will respond to Germany's offensive. If it comes to counterattack, Britain really does not have the strength. If it were to defend, it would not have any greater effect besides increasing the casualties of the German army. Just as Germany expected from the beginning, from the day Germany successfully landed, there would be no suspense in the entire war. , the only suspense is when Germany will occupy this Britain.
Although when the peace agreement was signed, the peace talks caused a stir because of Lin Wei's assassination, but now that he knows who wants to kill him. Naturally, Lin Wei would not vent his anger carelessly. This matter had nothing to do with Britain. Lin Wei still knew that public and private matters should be distinguished. Precisely because Lin Wei kept a clear distinction between public and private affairs and did not mess around in the peace talks, Chamberlain and Ribbentrop successfully signed the "Anglo-German Contract". After the contract was signed, Goebbels in Berlin, Germany, immediately drafted propaganda news, It is nothing more than a series of arguments that Germany has achieved a decisive victory and the war will end within three months.
The benefits of signing the contract to Germany are obvious. From the beginning of Chamberlain's announcement of the contract, the resistance Germany encountered during the war was significantly reduced. This contract was not harsh for Britain, although it severely restricted the British air force. and the army, although there are no restrictions on the navy, and there is no requirement to cede territory. Although the amount of compensation is huge, Britain can pass on its compensation to the colonies. It is inevitable that after the war stops, Britain will definitely not give up its hands. The colonies here became independent smoothly.
After World War II, the colonies became independent. On the one hand, it was because the liberal democratic ideas of the United States influenced colonies around the world. On the other hand, it was also related to the fact that the strength of Britain and France was severely damaged. If Britain and France still maintained the world's largest navy and the world's largest army, With its reputation, strong economic and military power, even if its subordinate colonies were influenced by American ideas, how could they become independent so easily? In the final analysis, the strength of Britain and France is already inferior to that of the United States, so they no longer have the power to counterattack the actions of the United States, so they will allow the colonies to become independent. Who cares what America is if it doesn't have a strong military.
Just like the United States during World War I. At that time, the United States was already the world's largest economic power, but in the eyes of European countries, the status of the United States was still not very high. If the United States had said something at that time, let your subordinate colonies become independent. , no one will pay attention to the claims of the United States. Europe paid a heavy price in World War I. The United States has become equal to Europe, but in the eyes of the European powers, the United States is still not a force that can change its mind. Although at this time the United States It has been taken seriously, but the international status of Britain and France is still higher than that of the United States. It was only after Germany quickly killed France and severely damaged Britain, and then was killed by the United States. The gap between the United States and Europe has been reversed, and the protagonists in the world have changed from European countries to Americans.
If the war continues to develop in Germany's favor until victory, it is conceivable that the United States' influence will still not be established. If the result of the war is that the Axis powers achieve complete victory, it will not be such a simple thing for the United States to want the colonies of various countries to become independent after the war. To put it bluntly, Italians will regard Americans' words as farts.
Having said that, if the war ends now, the British can still retain a certain degree of vitality, at least it will not be worse than in history. Relying on the strength and industry that have not been consumed, as long as the British develop well, they will still be a well-known power in the world, and maybe Germany by then. Countries such as France, the United Kingdom, and Italy are no match for the United States one-on-one, but together, the strength of Europe can still overwhelm this emerging country.
Ordinary people cannot see this, but there is no shortage of smart people in this world anytime and anywhere, and there are many smart people among the British. Naturally, they cannot fail to see this. This time, before Lin Wei could let out the news, the contract News that is beneficial to Britain has already spread around the British.
There was not no objection to Chamberlain's behavior. At least Churchill came out to criticize Chamberlain's behavior extremely severely. He also moved out the British King George VI and declared Chamberlain a traitor. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, and it can even be said to be righteous. There was only one small flaw, which also solved the Gestapo's doubts, and that was that the statement was issued in Canada. Churchill had already traveled to North America. In terms of concealment, the British did a good job this time and successfully concealed the ubiquitous Gestapo agents. Of course, the minor sequelae of this, such as blinding all British people, can be ignored.
The British suddenly discovered that British Prime Minister Churchill, who had been calling them to resist, was no longer in the UK, and they became cannon fodder. Chamberlain, the traitor described by Churchill, never left Britain and stayed with them. Some people can't help but feel that they are worthless now. Since Chamberlain can also guarantee British interests, why continue the war. Even if all the British died, Churchill would be unscathed. At this time, some people remembered the news that Germany called for peace talks in August. At that time, Germany reminded itself not to be deceived by Churchill. Once the German troops landed, Churchill would definitely form a government in exile. , and all the British people will not run away with it.
"The Germans were right, Churchill really ran away!" someone said.
Public opinion is really a scary thing, especially when it is not properly guided, its energy is very scary. What opinions spread the fastest are not authoritative statistics or experts' opinions, but rumors. When Churchill's influence becomes negative, many people will immediately jump out to step on him. These people may not have any enmity with Churchill or even have any social contacts with him, but this does not prevent them from jumping out.
Soon, the British garrison in Birmingham and Coventry sent representatives to discuss with Chamberlain. After receiving General Rundstedt's guarantee not to harm British residents, they had fought with the German Army Group B half a month ago. Cities laid down their weapons and waited for German troops to take over.
The surrender of these two cities pushed the German front a big step further east. The British territory still controlled by Churchill's war faction extends from York in the north to London in the south, and still occupies about one-third of the United Kingdom. It can be said that as long as Germany works harder, the war will be over.
The wall fell and everyone pushed. Lin Wei had always thought that this kind of thing would only happen in his original motherland. Now it seems that the whole world is a bad person, and no one is more noble than anyone else. Churchill is not in the country, and the British war faction can no longer find anyone who can compete with Chamberlain. At this time, Chamberlain's influence has been exerted to the extreme without Churchill. Some people have not forgotten Chamberlain's contribution to the development of the British economy. It was only the outbreak of war that prevented Chamberlain's doctrine from succeeding.
When Chamberlain was just dismissed from the post of Prime Minister, he once imagined that he would return to the position of Prime Minister immediately. But now what Chamberlain has always thought about is about to become a reality. Some people are already preparing to elect Chamberlain to be the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom again, although he can only do so for the time being. The British who managed the German war zone. It's a pity that Chamberlain knew that his health was no longer good. If he was lucky, he would still have a month to go. Chamberlain would now use the last period of his life to work. All he wanted was to see the war stop on British soil. As for Chamberlain can no longer control Britain's status in the world. At least Chamberlain no longer expects Britain to continue to be an empire on which the sun never sets.
In fact, Chamberlain has long discovered that although Britain has been trying its best to maintain its glory, its influence is still inevitably declining. This is also the reason why Chamberlain hopes that Germany will rise. But Chamberlain underestimated Hit? Le's appetite, indeed Chamberlain and Hitt? Le is consistent in his goals. Chamberlain hopes that Germany will be strong, but he does not want Germany to be dominant. Chamberlain's bottom line is France. Poland can be destroyed, but France must be retained. And Hitt? Le's bottom line happened to be to destroy France and make Britain recognize Germany's status on the European continent. Their ultimate goal is to contain the aggressive Soviet Union, but Hit? Le wanted to solve the Soviet problem after destroying France, but Chamberlain's hope for Germany was only to allow Germany to resist the dangerous country of the Soviet Union, rather than dominate the European continent. The two people have the same ultimate goal, to resist the threat of the Soviet Union, but their mid-term progress is different, Hit? If Le wanted to destroy France, Chamberlain would not agree.
But now there is no need to argue. Germany has achieved its goal and Britain has failed. What Chamberlain needs now is how to maintain Britain's status as a powerful country and reflect his value at the appropriate time.
So on November 1st, Chamberlain gave a speech on the radio that could be heard throughout the UK. Chamberlain said, "Many people have criticized my policies and said that I have indulged Germany's strength, but I want to say Yes, what I want to say is that I am not appeasing, I just want to unite with other European powers, it is unionism! Britain is an island country and cannot control the situation in Europe for a long time. That is why I hope to win over other powerful countries. , such as Germany’s support! No one can deny Germany’s influence on the continent! Giving up control of the continent is the time we have to face. Uniting with the powerful powers on the continent is what we in the UK need to do. It is alliance rather than Appeasement!" In the fight between Britain and Germany, Britain has been completely defeated. Chamberlain must make the British realize this. Chamberlain has always wanted to fight with Hitler? He wanted to establish a coalition dominated by Britain, but now it seems that Chamberlain can only settle for the second best and establish a coalition that will not allow the British influence to disappear. Chamberlain believed that as long as Britain could manage its colonies well and restore its industry, at least its voice on the mainland would not be lower than that of France.
At this time, Army Group B launched an attack at the appropriate time, cooperating with Chamberlain's speech, and there was no real resistance wherever it passed. In this way, we reached the city of London. At this time, Chamberlain's condition was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer handle the matter, so he handed the matter over to Lord Halifax and found a place to recuperate himself.
It was impossible for Lin Wei to watch the Battle of London in person. After more than ten days of rest, Lin Wei was able to get out of bed and move around, so Gustav sent Lin Wei directly to the ship and returned to Germany with Lin Wei. After Kiel Port, we boarded a plane and flew directly to Berlin.
After getting off the plane at Berlin Airport, someone Lin Wei never wanted to see appeared. Linda came to pick him up with a bulging belly. Lin Wei was moved and worried, and stepped forward and said, "Why are you here?" It's already very cold, you should stay at home!" Indeed, the weather was already very cold in November, but Lin Wei said this in addition to caring, and also wanted to avoid Linda's blame. So I scolded Linda as soon as I got off the plane.
Linda was a smart woman and naturally knew Lin Wei's little thoughts, so she did not entangle in public. Instead, she walked out of the airport with Lin Wei obediently and got into the car prepared by the servant. After returning home, Lin Wei was naturally complained by his wife, but only Lin Wei knew whether it was coastal or warm.
On the British side, the British war faction has determined that Chamberlain's peace faction has betrayed Britain and is preparing to fight to the death to defend London. Propaganda is a wonderful thing. The same sentence will change depending on the speaker's stance and perspective. Different, understand two completely different meanings. Under the propaganda of the militant faction in London all night long, most London citizens believed the words of the militant faction and were ready to fight to defend London. This situation made it difficult for General Rundstedt. It has always been Germany's idea to avoid large-scale street fighting. Although there were not many street fighting in the cities of the Battle of Britain, even the few street fighting cost Germany a huge price. . Therefore, after discussing and reporting to William II, General Rundstedt began to command the armies of Germany, France and Italy to besiege London.
Chamberlain did not perform a miracle in the end, and passed away in November due to worsening condition. Lin Wei, who learned of Chamberlain's death, felt his heart sink. He wondered whether William II would be called away by God in the same way.
At this time, Lin Wei had injured his bones due to gunshot wounds, so he was recuperating honestly. At least Lin Wei had not forgotten the words of his hometown. After a hundred days of hurting his muscles and bones, there were only a few injuries that hurt his bones. Yue's cultivation can't get better at all. There are no shortcuts during this period. Apart from his own recovery ability, basically no medicine can significantly help the bones.
After spending a Christmas recovering from his injuries, the whole world began to move towards 1941, and Lin Wei also began his 35th year in Germany.
In January, Linda, who was ten months pregnant, gave birth. Lin Wei had a second son. Lin Wei gave his son a very common name, Andy & Krupp. He grew up to be an ordinary boy. Well, Lin Wei no longer wants his son to live too tiringly. The birth of Andy Krupp made Gustav very happy, which also meant that the Krupp family had another heir in the future.
1941 was a very important year for Lin Wei. In this year, in Lin Wei's eyes, the inevitable Soviet-German war was about to break out. Now Germany is indeed making final preparations. The preparations include all aspects. There are clear regulations on how to paralyze the Soviet Union, when to start mobilization, and when the troops will arrive on the battlefield. Maintaining synchronization with allies is also essential.
