On July 5, with the capture of the last stronghold in the Ice Country by the German army, the entire Ice Country completely fell into the control of the German army.

After receiving this news, Mainz was very satisfied. Although it took a little longer, considering the area of the Ice Country, this time was still within the acceptable range.

However, compared with the final result, Mainz was more concerned about the impact of this incident.

Needless to say, the people of the Sun Never Sets will be furious after hearing this news.

After all, the Ice Country is the territory they actually control.

If they lose this place, it is equivalent to losing another piece of territory.

The area of the Ice Country is not small, 100,000 square kilometers, and the Sun Never Sets mainland is only 2 square kilometers.

What’s more, the strategic location here is so important.

If you lose this place, the influence of the British army in the North Atlantic will be basically completely eliminated!

So this will definitely make the Sun Never Sets people feel painful.

However, Mainz felt that the British people in the British Empire might be more angry because the British troops stationed in the Ice Kingdom did not obey their orders, did not completely abandon the island, and retreated to the south?

After all, after the fall of the mainland, the human resources of the British Empire became quite scarce, and any soldier and any population were extremely important to the British Empire.

Although the Indians welcomed the British Empire, they were not of the same race, so their hearts must be different. The British Empire must still be a little worried about these indigenous people!

Therefore, retaining any of their own strength as much as possible is their most concerned thing at present.

After the fall of the British Empire, King George V had ordered the British troops in the Ice Kingdom and other islands in the North Atlantic to withdraw, but these people disobeyed his orders and only withdrew part of them, and some of them actually stayed and gave their heads to the German army!

This made King George V very angry!

“Do they still have me as their king in their eyes? Are they turning a deaf ear to my words?”

The purpose of his ordering the retreat was to concentrate all these overseas troops to strengthen the control over India or North Africa and the Mediterranean!

With the fall of the British Empire, it was meaningless to continue to hold on to the Ice Kingdom. As a result, these guys pretended to obey but actually disobeyed his orders. This made King George V smell a hint of danger!

Is it because the British Empire moved its capital to India that its status in the hearts of these overseas British Empires has declined? Otherwise

, why would they dare to disobey their orders?

King George V guessed correctly that those British troops who did not obey his orders to retreat, on the one hand, had a glimmer of luck in holding on to the Ice Kingdom, thinking that the German army would not attack here in a big way, and if the German army sent too few troops, they might be able to drive the other side into the sea, so these people did not escape.

On the other hand, On the other hand, King George V abandoned tens of millions of citizens in the country before the fall of the British Empire, and fled to the South.

This made the British people dissatisfied with their king.

Many people thought that he was a coward.

The old prime minister and most of the officials chose to stick to the homeland and finally died with the country.

As the king of a country, you took the lead in escaping when the country was in danger. People will naturally be disappointed with you, and they will naturally not obey your orders completely!

After understanding this, King George V was very frightened!

The British Empire is very large, and the area of overseas colonies is more than 30 million square kilometers. If the garrison in the Ice Kingdom really looks at him this way, then how do other colonies, such as the Maple Leaf Kingdom and Australia, look at themselves?

When he thought of this, he felt very uneasy!

……

“The British Empire is too big, and it is too difficult to completely conquer them. After all, they can flee to the next place when we conquer one place. Unless we conquer all their colonies, or they surrender to us voluntarily, it will be very difficult for us to completely destroy them!”Just as

King George V was feeling anxious, Hans was also discussing the issue of the British Empire.

“I think that using force to solve the problem of the sun never sets will take too long, be too slow, and be too costly, so it is not worth it!”

Foreign Minister Ribbentrop expressed his opinion first, and Industry Minister Speer nodded repeatedly.

He obviously agreed with what Ribbentrop said!

Once the war is launched, the troops on the front line fight happily, the onlookers watch the show happily, and the people at home are also excited because of the frequent reports of victory.

However, those who are responsible for logistics, raising supplies and transporting supplies are not happy at all.

The larger the scale of the war, the more supplies the front-line troops need, the greater the pressure on these people, and the greater the workload!

It was a little better during the Gallic Campaign.

Hans and Gaul are land neighbors after all, so a large amount of supplies can be transported directly to the front line by rail, and after the German army conquered the capital of Gaul, Gaul basically chose to surrender.

The war did not last long, only one month, so the pressure on logistics supply was not particularly great!

But the Battle of the British Sun was different. Because it was a cross-sea battle, all supplies needed to be transported to the port in advance. , and then transported from the port to the mainland of the sun, and then unloaded in the mainland of the sun and then transported to the front line!

The work in the middle is extremely complicated, requiring a large number of people to be responsible for and coordinate the work in both places. In addition, while the German army is transporting materials, it also needs to send a large number of local troops to the sun and transport the wounded on the battlefield of the sun.

In this way, the work involved is not only the transportation of goods, but also the transportation of personnel, the allocation of medical resources, and so on!

Most of these tasks are Speer’s responsibility. Although the mustache is the prime minister of the cabinet, he is the leader and responsible for this matter, but the burden on Speer’s shoulders is not small at all.

The sun never sets can only be regarded as the doorstep of Europe, the distance is not particularly far, and the war has only been fought for two months, not particularly long.

But if the target is changed to the Maple Leaf Country in North America, Australia in the Pacific, or India in South Asia, the workload may be too much for them to bear, so if there are other means to solve the problem, Speer agrees with both hands!

“What method do you plan to use?”

Mainz did not plan to continue to disperse resources. After all, the main force must be reserved to deal with the bear. However

, if there is no further attack, the country will recover quickly and will be able to jump out again in a few years.

So he still hopes to further weaken the sun.
