After three months of continuous attacks, the German army finally reached a place only thirty kilometers away from the city of London.

In other words, they have only advanced more than 30 kilometers in the past three months. On average, they can only advance 10 kilometers per month.

To be precise on a daily basis, the advancement distance is only calculated in meters.

The further the German army attacks forward, the more determined the British resistance becomes. And another interesting phenomenon is that the further the German army attacks, the stronger the British position becomes.

After attacking thirty kilometers away from London, the British fortifications turned into reinforced concrete fortifications.

Moreover, the cement mark is extremely high, and mortar shells will be bounced off by the solid cement. Even combat anti-aircraft artillery can only make a small hole in the reinforced concrete bunker.

The Germans had no choice but to resort to earthworks. They dug trenches, approached the British defense circle step by step, and then used explosive bags and blasting tubes at close range to solve the problem.

A more effective tactic is to advance large-caliber combat artillery to the front line at night and conduct accurate and continuous bombardments against the bunkers.

Until the reinforced concrete bunker is blown up!

The German army was also very surprised because the British army actually became more and more courageous in fighting despite being constantly blocked.

Finally, the answer came from the mouths of the prisoners of war.

The Ming Dynasty actually secretly sold prisoners of war to the British. Even the captured British weapons and ammunition were sold to the British.

This is tantamount to bad news for the German army!

The reason why the German army attacked the British army in such a hurry was because the Ming Dynasty had just annihilated the main force of 200,000 British troops in Gibraltar and outside Gibraltar.

Including the loss of a large part of the main force of the British army in Russia, the loss of the British army must have exceeded 300,000 people.

Germany just wants to take advantage of its strong army and high morale to beat up Russia, which has suffered continuous losses and is low in morale.

Unexpectedly, Ming Dynasty was secretly transfusing blood to England.

As a result, the German troops on the front line had no results. Even casualties were increasing day by day.

Three consecutive months of offensive operations have exhausted the frontline troops, and their morale has gradually declined.

This time Ribbentrop came to talk to Zheng Sen. In fact, his most important task was to discuss the problem of the British army.

The head of state believes that as long as Ming Dynasty does not continue to transfuse blood to England, England will not be able to survive for a few days.

"Da Honglu, since you said we are allies and we have friendship, then please don't continue to do business with the British in private."

After pretending to ask about the situation in Russia, Ribbentrop changed the topic to his main purpose.

"What does this mean?" Zheng Sen continued to play dumb.

"Da Honglu is not a friend enough. According to the confessions of frontline prisoners of war, many of them were prisoners of war captured by your country in Gibraltar some time ago.

Some were even captured during the Battle of Kiev. The earliest ones can be traced back to the Battle of Tsaritsyn.

These are all well-founded. Your attitude is not the way for friends to get along with each other.

Don’t you Ming people value friendship the most? How can you do this in this matter?”

"Is there such a thing? It's outrageous. It must have been done by people from the Navy.

Ribbentrop, you know that our naval commander is the marshal’s biological brother. This man has always done mischief, and we are unaware of many of the things he does. You have to believe me.”

Zheng Sen stood up and angrily explained to Ribbentrop.

As far as acting is concerned, it does seem a bit immature.

"Da Honglu, we have no intention of pursuing the responsibility. We also know that even if we pursue the case, it will be nothing in the end.

We want you to stop doing business with the British!"

Zheng Sen's tone, expression, and even the content of his words did not exceed Ribbentrop's expectations.

We are all foxes for thousands of years, so everyone knows what is going on here. Being able to act with you is already giving you enough face.

Now that you have given me face, talking about real money matters is a sign of not wasting time.

"This matter may be a little difficult. After all, it was done secretly by the Navy. Our Honglu Temple and the Navy are completely different departments.

I need to report the matter to the commander-in-chief, and then the commander-in-chief will ask the navy.

But think about it, will the Navy admit it?

If it were me, I would definitely not admit it. Just like you said, things will definitely turn out to be a mess in the end."

Zheng Sen spread his hands, showing helplessness.

This is a bit uninteresting and dishonest!

Having dealt with people from the Ming Dynasty a lot, Ribbentrop naturally knew what could impress the Ming Dynasty.

That is, real money!

"In this case, Da Honglu might as well set up a line. How much are those British prisoners of war and the British army's equipment worth?

The navy will just sell us Germany!" Ribbentrop had no choice but to throw out the bomb.

"Sell it to you Deutsch?" Zheng Sen never imagined that... Deutsch would actually make such a request.

I guess the Germans' thinking was that they could do business with everyone. They could just pay to buy those prisoners of war and weapons, as long as they didn't give them to the British.

Indeed, this is a very practical solution.

It is also a solution that is very consistent with Daming's habits, but the problem is..., this thing is really beyond Daming's expectation.

This kind of thing needs to be decided by the commander-in-chief.

"This... I have to communicate with the Navy about this matter. There will be news soon. Don't worry, we are friends!"

When Zheng Sen said this, he felt hypocritical.

"Yes! We are friends." Ribbentrop nodded.

He was fully mentally prepared for Zheng Sen's hypocrisy.

In fact, he is equally hypocritical. And there is no one in this profession who is not hypocritical.

Diplomacy is actually about using the most polite words and making the most shameless requests.

The minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has only taken this shameless state to the extreme.

After seeing off Ribbentrop, Zheng Sen immediately left Vienna by airship.

Vienna Airport is still under construction, and airports are being built in several places in Austria.

These tasks were of course completed by Ming engineers and prisoners of war.

The French prisoners of war who were working looked numb, like wooden men.

After they fought bloody battles, they suddenly found that their motherland was gone. And those who occupied their motherland were the Germans who had a thousand-year grudge against the French nation.
Chapter completed!
