The Third Reich: I Became Emperor

On a secluded road in the north of London, King George said with a complicated look in his eyes:"We mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, but in the end we still failed to defend our capital."

Hearing this, Lord Gort felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to explain something, but he didn't know what to say. Nearly 400,000 troops failed to defend the capital. Who should bear the responsibility? He couldn't say whether it was Fatty Qiu or him, or the king. He could only say that the German army was too strong. Even if they suffered a disastrous defeat on the Eastern Front, they were not something they could deal with.

"Your Majesty, we are only leaving the capital temporarily. When you go to the northern city, you are still the most respected king of the empire, and you can lead our people to continue fighting to the end there. Lord Gort said with mixed feelings.

"You are our pillar, and your safety is of great importance."

Lord Gort is still very loyal to the royal family. After all, he is a nobleman. No matter what, he still has to protect the interests of the royal family.

Hearing this, King George's mood became more complicated. To be honest, he didn't really want to be the king. Although he looked glamorous, he actually had no power. The only thing he didn't have to worry about was food and drink.

"After losing the capital, the people have long been disappointed in us."King George sighed and said that since he became king, he had only had a good life in the first few years. After the war broke out, he hardly had a good night's sleep.

"No, Your Majesty, as long as you are still here, our people have hope, you are their hope, and there are still many people in the north who support us."At this time, Fatty Qiu stood up and said.

Fatty Qiu had no choice. He originally thought that he could hold on for another month or two, but who knew that the German army would use new weapons again, and the American troops defending the front line could not hold on, so they could only hand over London.

Princess Elizabeth next to him had a complicated expression, looking at King George, and suddenly said:"Your Majesty, why don't you agree to the conditions of the German army and let me marry over."

In fact, her family is related to the Hohenzollern, and it is not a humiliation to marry over.

In any case, the blood of both sides cannot be broken.

"No, I will not let you marry those lunatics of the Hohenzollern family."King George resolutely refused

""Your Majesty, we still have hope. Your Highness, it is not time to sacrifice you. We still have a million troops and there is every hope of turning the tables." Fatty Qiu said again.

Although King George did not want to listen to Fatty Qiu's nonsense, he knew that he had to grit his teeth and continue fighting.

Seeing the king's renewed hope, Fatty Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as the king was still there and the flag was still there, the British Empire would not be considered destroyed.

Go to the north first. If the situation continues to deteriorate, go to Northern Ireland. If it really doesn't work, you can leave your homeland and go to the colonies to continue organizing the war of resistance.

Anyway, Fatty Qiu only had one idea at this time, that is, to fight to the end and never surrender.

………

"Didn't they catch any high-ranking officials?" August asked Keitel.

"No, they all left and moved to Liverpool, and they should go to Northern Ireland."Marshal Keitel said

"I thought they would go to Edinburgh, after all, that's where the Nelson people started."August shook his head and said.

Liverpool is a port city. Although the main force of the Royal Fleet was wiped out, there are still more than a dozen surviving warships. In addition, the United States has added a batch of warships, and the number has returned to fifty again. Although the combat effectiveness is far lower than before, it is still there.

Defending a port is definitely no problem, not to mention that Liverpool is almost a thousand kilometers away from London. It is impossible for the German army to attack there in a short time.

"Yes, the British army has also made preparations for both situations. If the situation continues to deteriorate, they may just run away, and it is also possible for the colonies and even the dominions."Marshal Keitel said while looking at the map.

Hearing this, August couldn't help but sighed:"What a bunch of stubborn people. Can't they see the situation clearly? Is it more suitable for them to obey us than to continue to resist to the end?"

After all, if they continue to resist and fight like trapped beasts, the final outcome is death. If they obey him obediently, they can live better.

As he said, August continued to look at the map. The British Empire is an island country. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that no country in history has been able to conquer it.

If you want to conquer it, you have to go on an expedition, and the expedition has high requirements for logistics, so it has never been conquered. The disadvantage is that if you want to be strong, you have to import various resources from outside.

Once the sea transportation is cut off or the colonies are lost, it will instantly become a third-rate country.

Looking at the map, August finally sighed and said:"It is impossible to completely rule the British Isles. We can only use other methods."

Marshal Keitel was stunned for a moment, then asked,"What do you mean?"

Because a telegram came from the front line, the British resistance in various places was very fierce recently, and the German logistics troops were often attacked. If they wanted to encircle and suppress these guerrillas, they had to send out elite troops, which would be a fatal blow to their attack.

"We can conquer the British Empire, but we cannot rule it."August repeated.

"After all, it is a centuries-old capitalist country. From top to bottom, there is a sense of pride in their bones. It is impossible to rule them for a long time. Until now, King George has no intention of surrendering."

"But it is also easy to rule the British Empire." August suddenly said.

Marshal Keitel was stunned and asked hurriedly:"I wonder what the method is?"

"The Duke of Windsor should have arrived in Berlin, right?" August asked instead of answering.

"Already here." Bormann said respectfully.

Marshal Keitel beside him patted his head secretly. He was so busy recently that he forgot about this matter.

"Go and invite the Duke of Windsor. It's time to talk to them."August said

"Yes, I'll go right away." The secretary at the side said expressionlessly.

Only Marshal Keitel said with some concern:"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

"Don't worry about this. As long as we have a strong navy, they will only obey and will not resist."August smiled and said, what's more, with the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's living standards, the so-called grudges will slowly disappear.

Not long after, a middle-aged couple came to the capital. Looking at the familiar scenery, the Duke of Windsor seemed to remember something. After pausing for a few seconds, he sighed. He knew what the purpose of today was. To be honest, he had thought about giving up completely, but he changed his mind at the last minute.

At this time, at the door of the office, August smiled and said to the Duke of Windsor:"Your Majesty Edward VIII, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Hearing this title, the Duke of Windsor was slightly stunned. It seemed that no one had called him that for many years.

‘Yes, I was a king once.’

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I am now the Duke of Windsor, not the King." The Duke of Windsor said with a wry smile

"No, in my heart you have always been Edward VIII, and the one next to you is the princess."August said without question.

Even Marshal Keitel next to him said respectfully:"Greetings to His Majesty the King and the Queen."
