Imperial Overlord

"Do you really want to carry out such a mission?" A German pilot looked at his commander with an expression of disbelief on his face.

According to the just-announced mission, after a few days of suspending bombing, they will once again visit London on a large scale.

The flames have been put out there, the rubble there has probably been cleared, so they're going to go again and drop thousands of tons of bombs there.

"Who told you to drop bombs?" The officer said with a smile on his face, "This time, I didn't drop bombs, but to do two things!"

"Two things?" The pilot heard that he was not going to drop bombs, and obviously didn't know what to say.

"This time, your main task is to drop the printed flyers to the British!" The officer pointed to the bundled flyers that were ready to be thrown over London, and said with a smile.

These flyers are very scribbly printed. After all, it is a big project to print hundreds of thousands of flyers before September 10.

On the scribbled flyer is a blurry photo of Rommel in the small town of Salem. This photo was actually taken during the retreat to Salem in late August.

However, Goebbels, who was instructed to publicize Rommel's military invasion of Salum again, certainly didn't mind doing some well-intentioned deception.

In fact, on this morning, the German armored forces had appeared on the outskirts of Nila, West Dubai, saying that they had taken Salem, which was definitely not a lie.

"Sir! Can you believe such flyers?" Looking at the printed flyers with the date September 9 written in English, the pilot asked.

The layout of the flyer is incomparable to today's computer layout, except for a large photo and the huge text below the photo that the German troops entered Salem on September 9, there is nothing left like persuasion to surrender quickly.

No one is optimistic about the significance of this kind of flyer to persuade surrender. Goebbels and Li Le formulated such an airdrop plan just to slap Churchill in the face.

Another reason is to use their own radar for experiments. German scientists have found a machine that can receive radar beams!

This machine was an early radar warning system, which, while unable to pinpoint the exact location of enemy radars, could provide a rough warning to bomber and fighter forces.

For example, it can know whether there is an enemy radar working nearby, which allows the German high-level to grasp the completion of the radar reconstruction work in the UK.

For another example, it can help pilots know that the enemy has spotted them and the enemy fighter is about to come - either turn back, or be on alert!

Therefore, it is also one of the purposes of this flight to mix the bombers equipped with this kind of equipment into the batch of flyer-delivery planes to test their effects in actual combat.

"Get on the plane! Let's go! Let the British see how badly they lost elsewhere!" Seeing that all the bombers were ready, the officer ordered loudly.

On the morning of September 10, German bombers resumed their bombing of London, and over London, which had been calm for 10 days, a piercing siren sounded again.

However, the expected explosion did not occur, and the city did not catch fire, and the air defense forces watched as the planes dropped countless flyers, as if it were snowing heavily.

Soon, the flyers fell to the ground, some rolled in the air with the wind, and some fell directly into the Thames River.

The very sloppy flyers, which were printed, caught the attention of civilians who walked out of the bomb shelter after the air raid sirens were lifted.

They picked up the flyer under their feet and looked at the huge September 9 number on the flyer for no reason.

"Hey! What happened yesterday?" An old man holding a flyer asked the equally confused army soldier standing beside him.

This soldier is maintaining law and order at the entrance of the air-raid shelter. He is also looking at the flyer in his hand, hoping that he can see some clues from it.

"The Germans landed yesterday?" a woman said in fear, asking the army soldier who still didn't speak.

"Oh! Madam! The Germans didn't land! Trust me!" The soldier finally realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly explained.

He raised the flyer in his hand and asked loudly: "Who knows where Salem is! Who knows this? Explain it to everyone!"

To ordinary Londoners, Salem is not a familiar place name. After all, even today, few people can recite all the place names in their own country.

"It seems to be a city in North Africa!" A middle-aged gentleman who read the newspaper a few days ago remembered the name of the city.

Almost twenty days ago, the British government hyped that Admiral Wavell had beaten Italy in North Africa, recapturing places including West Dubai Nila.

At that time, everyone was talking about Admiral Wavell and about the great victory in North Africa, but few people paid attention to the small Egyptian border city - Saleum.

That small town is really too small, maybe only 3,000 local people live, and it may only be a small town at most in the UK.

"My God! It's good that the Germans didn't land!" The British woman who had been terrified just now finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was happening in far North Africa. After all, the distance is so far away, and it can't immediately pose a threat to itself, can it?

Compared with the horror of the German army landing in the British mainland, it is completely acceptable to lose a small town on the North African battlefield.

"So, the Germans counterattacked? Defeated our army in North Africa?" After a sigh of relief, someone realized exactly why the Germans did this.

The British team's victory in North Africa seems to be a short-lived victory. Now the Axis powers are fighting back in North Africa and have won the first city...

"Since it's not the Germans who landed, it's easy to handle." A woman with a son serving as a soldier on the coastline said with relief.

For civilians, it is already a good situation that their own country has not been invaded and their families do not have to face danger.

"So, Admiral Wavell has failed?" A young man asked curiously while straddling the canvas bag.

In fact, more than ten days ago, there was news that Admiral Wavell had been captured by Germany, but this rumor came from the enemy's radio station, and the official did not admit it.

Now, the German team counterattacked again and captured a border city in Egypt, which confirmed the news of Admiral Wavell's defeat from the side.

It is not that Germany does not have its own espionage system in the UK, but because the relationship between the two countries has not been close, the spies who have been planted cannot obtain valuable information.

However, even so, it is very simple for these spies to send back the news that the similar enemy has blocked the North Africa defeat.

It is for this reason that Li Le and Goebbels decided to launch this battle for public opinion, using **** facts to awaken the war-weariness of the British civilian population.

"Damn it! Are the Germans really that good? Or are our commanders just too stupid?" a British civilian complained in the distance.

Standing among them, the armed British infantryman could only do what he was supposed to do: "Gentlemen! Keep calm! Gather the leaflets the Germans have dropped to deceive us and give them to me!"

It has to be said that throughout the course of World War II, Britain's experience and practices in national organization are commendable.

The British spirit of obeying discipline and willing to support the motherland is worth learning and learning from other countries.

"Hey? I saw it! Be more careful!" In the office of the British Prime Minister, Churchill picked up the phone depressedly, annoyed by the report over there~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When he left the air defense underground bunker just now, I have seen the plethora of German leaflets on the street.

Even someone had sent a sheet in front of him, and he saw the content on it that gave him a headache.

Sure enough, Germany would not allow him to manipulate public opinion and the media, and would not watch him hide the real situation of the war in North Africa.

Whether it was to expose his lies, or because they were fully prepared, the German team started to attack.

Moreover, the attack speed is also very fast. Yesterday, he had already received a report from North Africa that Salum had been captured by the Germans.

It's not much news to be hyped up, but less than 500 British soldiers were annihilated because they didn't have time to retreat.

In comparison, even the number of sailors who die every day in sneak attacks by the German naval submarine force may not be less than this number.

However, as if he was slapping his face, a dozen days ago, he just reported the process of the North African campaign in a way that avoided the important and ignored it.

As a result, the day before yesterday, the German team launched a counterattack - it is estimated that they have already hit West Dubai Nila, how can they not make him nervous.

"What about the commander of our Nile Army in North Africa?" Churchill asked anxiously: "What does he think about this matter?"

Now, the so-called Army of the Nile, there is only one Australian 6th Infantry Division that has just arrived in North Africa.

And those units that later became famous, such as the 7th Armoured Division, have actually been wiped out.

"Sir! General Cunningham is powerless to fight back! He can only give up West Dubai Nila!" one of his men replied.

"Rommel! Rommel!" Churchill looked at the leaflet on the table that was already full of London, and vented grimly: "Just beat him! Anything will do!"
