British War Office, Underground Command. Richard Haldane stared at the London defense map hanging on the wall, his eyeballs were almost red, like a gambler who lost his eyes.

  The current situation is very unfavorable to the British army. The entire south of London is almost almost occupied by the Germans. The remaining British troops could only hide in the south bank of the Thames. It is estimated that it will not be long before they will be wiped out.

   Although, Richard? Haldane has long expected that there will be such a day. However, the speed of the German advance was completely beyond his expectations. It can be said that the German army did not even have the ability to stop it. This battle was really aggrieved. Under the fierce attack of the German army, the British army seemed so vulnerable.

  The generals stationed in the southern part of London kept sending telegrams to the headquarters, requesting to withdraw to the north bank of the Thames. However, Richard Haldane still refused verbally. Although, Richard Haldane knew that this would make those generals very dissatisfied with him. But he still did it.

  Richard Haldane hopes that they will be able to persist in London for a while longer. In this way, Churchill and others can leave the UK calmly, and at the same time, the German army can pay more in London. But now it seems that they can't do this at all! As for resisting the German attack, Richard Haldane had no hope of it.

   "Your Excellency, some frontline generals have requested to retreat. They have been beaten by the Germans and there is no other way. If they are not allowed to retreat, they will soon be wiped out by the Germans!" Admiral Haig reported.

  Although, the 1st Army led by Admiral Haig was almost wiped out. However, Richard Haldane did not punish him, but let him serve as the chief of staff of the London Defense Command to advise him. However, the current situation has become so critical that there is nothing worth planning.

   "No! Tell them, we must fight to the death. If anyone dares to retreat without authorization, they will be dealt with by military law!" Richard Haldane's eyes flashed a ruthless look.

   "Yes, Your Excellency!" Admiral Haig nodded. He knew what Richard Haldane meant. However, he didn't think it was a good idea. If it is not done well, I am afraid it will backfire. It's just that the current Richard Haldane can no longer listen to advice.

   "General Haig, how long can we last in London?" Richard Haldane asked.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid the southern city can't hold on for long. It can last for two or three days at most! The Thames River cannot be a natural barrier to stop the Germans from attacking. Even if we blow up the bridge on the river, it can only stop the Germans for a while. .I personally estimate that it can last for ten days at most!" said Admiral Haig.

   Their capital can only last for such a short time, which is undoubtedly a torment for Admiral Haig. However, there is no way, as a soldier of the British Empire, he can only persevere.

"Hold on as long as possible! In this way, Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, they can transfer more people and wealth to Canada. We can have a better chance of defeating the Germans." Richard Haldane sighed Take a breath.

Admiral Haig nodded. He knew that Richard Haldane, Churchill and others put their hopes on future wars, and hoped that with the help of Canada and the Americans, the British Empire would be on fire. Rebirth. However, Admiral Haig did not have much confidence in this. He didn't think that with the help of the Americans, it would be possible to fight against the Germans. That's simply not realistic.

   After winning this war, Germany will become the new world hegemon. Their power will extend to the whole world. I am afraid that the British overseas colonies cannot be held at all. At that time, Germany will become more powerful because of the acquisition of these colonies. The United Kingdom, which has lost its native land, is tied to the Americans, so don't even think about confronting Germany!

  Of course, even if Admiral Haig thought so in his heart, he would not say it out of his mouth. That is of no benefit to him.

   "Your Excellency, the 43rd Infantry Division has surrendered to the Germans!" Suddenly, a staff officer rushed in and reported to Richard Haldane.

   "What?" Richard Haldane's face suddenly became very ugly. Even though, he had already guessed that such a day would come. But I still didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

   "Is it a single unit, or the whole division?" Admiral Haig asked.

   "The entire 43rd Infantry Division!" the officer reported.

   "Bastard! How dare they disobey my order. Ricky, I must hang him!" Richard Haldane roared angrily.

   Admiral Haig looked sad and didn't say anything. He knew that Richard Haldane was just venting his anger in this way. Major General Ricky, who has entered the German prisoner-of-war camp, will be very safe.

   What made General Haig even more worried was that the behavior of the 43rd Infantry Division undoubtedly set a bad start for the British army. Next, more troops will surely surrender to the Germans. The 43rd Infantry Division, will be a model for those units.

   It's no wonder, who made the current situation so unfavorable to them? And Richard Haldane sent those troops to die. Those generals, as long as their brains are not trapped by the door, they all know how to choose.

   Sure enough, on the day the 43rd Infantry Division surrendered to the German army, the British troops stationed in the southern London area surrendered to the German army one after another. This allowed the German army to occupy the southern part of London without bloodshed. Even the troops in the northern part of London are ready to move.

  After the German army occupied the southern part of London, it began to attack the north bank of the Thames.

  The British army tried to stop the German army on the Thames, but it couldn't be done at all. The German 3rd Army and 8th Army had already crossed the Thames.

  And, during the battle, more and more German troops who lost their fighting spirit began to surrender to the German army. Even if Richard Haldane tried his best to suppress it, it would not have the slightest effect.

  When the British army surrendered to the German army, the British army was powerless.

  On October 3, the northern part of London was completely occupied by the German army. Except for the Ministry of War, which is still fighting, the rest of the area has been controlled by the German army. Of course, this is mainly because most of the British army voluntarily put down their weapons and surrendered. Otherwise, the German army will have to fight for a while.
