“what?”
“Yes, Prime Minister Moseley, Edward VIII and Queen Simpson have appeared in public in London.”
“…… how? Didn’t they run away to the north?”
“I thought we were like that too… It seems that only the cabinet, son, and younger brother took refuge.”
Only the cabinet had left and Moseley himself remained in London, and the Crown Prince and Prince George, who were born with difficulty by Mrs. Simpson, and the family of King George VI in the original history all fled to Scotland, but they were the only ones left?
“Isn’t it a fake or a stand-up?”
“There is no chance of that.”
“Ummm……”
As I read the script of Moseley’s speech, I was in serious trouble.
-Our British Empire will fight to the end against the threat from the East! I will never leave London, and they will not get my hands on London without killing me!
“It may be a special measure against the swaying public sentiment. The royal family and the prime minister also promised to share the suffering of the people… The fact that the royal family and the cabinet took refuge is because London has become too dangerous in reality.”
It’s not that we’re advancing, it’s the bombing that’s really dangerous now. Buckingham Palace collapsed in the early days of the war, and the temporary palaces and government buildings are almost gone.
“The queen?”
“It may be a gimmick to gain popularity with the public. No one knows that Madame Simpson’s popularity is disastrous in England.”
“If you don’t know, you’re less than a spy.
I turned the pencil round and round and gave the order.
“Blow it away.”
“Yes?”
“A carpet bombing of London. It’s great to see Edward VIII and Mrs. Simpson running wildly north, wouldn’t it be a riot if you just spray a buzzer and do some propaganda?”
“What if I endure that kind of thing?”
“Then we have to fight strength versus strength, because if you are lucky, you can do that.”
“All right.”
“Spread it on a very large scale so that they pose a definite threat to their own life.”

“Russian forces are moving in two directions. To Canterbury and to London.”
“Canterbury?”
“It seems like they are trying to take over Dover to facilitate supply. And they have already broken through Ashford. Canterbury may have already fallen.”
When Canterbury falls, Dover is dangerous and access to London is much easier.
“The Tonbridge has also collapsed, and the Maidstones and Seven Oaks are under attack. It’s really close now.”
That the Russian armored forces had already reached the outskirts of the London metropolitan area.
Considering that the German forces that attacked the British mainland in the last Daejeon did not reach the London metropolitan area in the end, it was an unprecedented threat.
However, running away from this situation is a handshake.
Even if you can run away, you shouldn’t. If you do, you will only collapse on your own.
No, maybe it’s because they’ve added a reason to all of them.

Maybe he was just waiting for death in despair.
He said that he would fight with a sword instead of running away on horseback to escape death, but in reality he was just reluctantly raising his sword and waiting for inevitable death.

Moseley looked out the window silently.
All he wanted was to protect Rule Britannia.
The name of the British Empire will no longer stand tall in the world.

December 21, 1941.
On the longest day of the night, black clouds covered the city of London.
It looked like it was going to rain at any moment, and there was thick smog all over the place.
And as if to turn all of that long history into a handful of ashes, numerous bombers flew in, dyeing the sky black.
– aae
Sirens were heard everywhere, and Londoners quickly hid themselves.
Several flares were fired from a Russian aircraft, illuminating the deep darkness. The pilots fired flares to capture the target and turned around. The few remaining RAF fighters pursued them, but Russian escorts immediately rushed in and engaged in a night air battle.
And, while British fighter jets, which were outdated in number and pilot skills, crashed into the city of London and created flames, the 1st bomber squadron reached the sky over London.
Numerous bombs began to fall into the city of London, befitting the name ‘carpet bombing’.
Among them, there were very large bombs, or even powerful bombs made by remodeling mines or depth mines.
The defensive lines the British had built for street fighting were crushed in an instant. Tanks were engulfed in bombing and destroyed, trucks and artillery littered the collapsing buildings.
The bombers, who had bombarded the city with momentum, withdrew when the bombs were exhausted.
But the bombing didn’t end with just one shot. The second bomber squadron arrived with only a short time gap.
They were equipped with incendiary bombs.
There is no point in taking over the factory area any more. And the Russian army knew better than anyone the solutions to street fighting learned in Chechnya.
In Panguk, where even Panzerfaust appeared, an idiot who would push an armored unit into the city without any countermeasures could not rise to the position of a general, and had to push forward to the point where the enemy’s resistance was impossible.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, fire for fire.
Now that the British people had to pay for the blood, it was time for the British to pay the price of the blood, since those guys threw oil on the sea and set it on fire.
Again numerous flames burned London, and the air raids stopped.
And this time the bombardment flew in.
While pushing back the resistance during the air raid, the Russian army adjacent to London completed the heat dissipation of the battery and began pouring shells.
It was the beginning of the Siege of London.

Vladivostok. Far Eastern Military District Headquarters.
General Chuikov read the document with dark circles in his eyes.
I had barely managed to maintain the military district, but the storm of business rushed to the point where I was almost in awe of it.
But the implications of it were not to be taken lightly.
‘Preparation for war.’

Moscow was determined to open a war against Japan.
So, I had to meet people whom I had known before, but I’d probably see them face to face quite often.
“Welcome to the Far East Gun-gu… Ms.
The woman in front of him does not hold any official positions. This is an obvious fact.
But official positions aren’t everything. Right now, King Mikhail is in command of the Russian army even though there is no basis for actually intervening in the Russian Empire.
And the informal position she held was none other than the position of prime minister of a country’s provisional government.
It was still an unofficial group of some exiles, an unofficial puppet organization, but when did the German Empire not do that?
It could be said that it was just a preliminary brain for the country that was created to be transplanted when the country was overthrown and a transitional government was established.
First of all, there were only a few interim governments that he knew. Among the transitional governments, if the country was occupied by Russia, she went straight to Paris or Berlin, held several events, and took root.
Of course, it could not be called that, as the Russian Empire has not yet officially recognized it.
“Thank you for your consideration. General Chuikov.”
She sat down and drank the tea that the watchman had brought.
“Transportation has increased significantly.”
Originally, the Trans-Siberian Railway had a huge amount of traffic. However, as an alternative line, the Trans-Central Asian Railway, was completed, the decline was only that much.
“Expansion work is also planned. It means that the western and eastern parts of the empire are close, so it’s good to be happy. Of course, it can be said that it is an unavoidable choice, as there are many aspects that it is difficult to handle the volume of freight only with the existing railway lines.”
“But for that, there aren’t many ships in the port.”
“Many of them have left for Europe for an amphibious operation, and now the deal with the US is meaningless.”
The US has nothing to give to Russia, and Russia has nothing to give to the US. At the beginning of the war, due to a lack of firearms, a large amount of semi-automatic rifles were supplied, and when the US military adopted the standard method or had difficulties in developing tanks due to the lack of tank turret technology, they sold only tank turrets in large quantities. hand over to Russia.
However, the US has now completed its wartime transition, extracting a huge amount of supplies and has come to the fore in the Philippines, and Russia has landed on the UK mainland and is facing London.
It was ironic that there was nothing to give or receive to each other now, even though the sea route had been opened.
“There was even a meeting scheduled for a meeting between Her Majesty the Empress and President Huey Long soon.”
“Was it Sweden?”
“Yes, it was scheduled for Stockholm.”
There really isn’t much Charina can do, but for now, I had to talk about it that way.
Sometimes, even if you know something, you have to pretend you don’t know it, and sometimes you have to pretend that you don’t know it even if it goes against the rules.
For them, it is neither an important conversation nor a main point.
However, it is a process you have to go through.
“The speed of the advance of the U.S. forces was unusual, even though I heard that they promised that they would retake the Philippines and take over all of Southeast Asia by next year.”
“It’s definitely a remarkable speed.”
“How do you think the Kremlin will respond? It seems that there is a high possibility that the U.S. government will request the start of the Second Front in order to advance easily at this meeting.”
“If it’s the 2nd front…”
The second front against Japan.
Doesn’t that mean there’s only one thing?
No, if Russia and Japan went to war in the first place, it was obvious who would be at the forefront of the war.
And, given her birthplace, what government she represents.
This was obviously the gist of it.
“The Kremlin has not issued any orders. It’s just that when the war is over, supplies and troops are restored to their original state.”
Supplies, equipment, and troops from Europe are moving to the Far East.
At some point, war supplies delivered by the United States did not go on the Trans-Siberian Railway.
However, this is nothing until an order is issued from the Kremlin.
You may never open your mouth until you are ordered to speak out. In front of her, who is an insider but an outsider.
“Then can we hear personal speculations? If that doesn’t happen, it would be good for the general, but have you ever considered a scenario in which a conflict occurs between the Far Eastern Military District and the Japanese Kwantung Army?”
there can be no Right before the start of the war, the Chief of Staff has been hanging on to only one of them.
But he gave an ambiguous answer.
“Even if such a thing exists, I have no right to publish it. Mrs. Yu has never received such a confidentiality clearance.”
Then, after being silent for a while, she smiled all over her face.
“thank you. It was a good time, the construction was going well, but I’m sorry it took so long.”
“no. It wasn’t a bad time for me either, talking with a beautiful person makes me feel more refreshed. May I know where you plan to stay during your stay?”
“I’m going to be in the biggest hotel in town.”
“Okay, I hope you have a good time in the Far East.”
As the door to the commander’s office closed, the woman wearing a hat quietly walked down the hallway.
‘Russia is willing to go to war. However, the post-war order has not yet been determined. Perhaps… our future in Stockholm will also be decided.’
A long time passed, but the passion she had was not extinguished.
But she had no means to influence the talks that would take place in Stockholm.
So I just pray.
She didn’t want wealth. She wanted often.
She didn’t want fame. She wanted freedom.
She didn’t want power. She wanted independence.
So, they just wanted to prove their worth.
