Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

"Huh? Flooding London? What an interesting idea, who came up with it?"

Yannick looked at the action plan submitted by Army Aviation Commander Wolfram von Richthofen and nodded frequently.

Richthofen said respectfully. "It was a Stuka pilot who came up with it on a whim when he was bombing London yesterday. I think it is very feasible, so I asked you for instructions."

"What a great idea, give him a credit; get ready. Londoners have been stuck in underground air raid shelters for months, it's time for them to come out and get some sunshine."

Due to its topography (most of London is on a flood plain), London has been flooded at various times in history.

The closest event was more than ten years ago on January 7, 1928, when the Thames burst its banks just after midnight. The raging floods poured into the narrow streets, and the depth of the water quickly increased to more than 1m high. The torrent rushed against the most important buildings in the city center. At this time, the vast majority of London citizens were still sleeping in their own dreams.

The Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, and the Tate Gallery were not spared... However, the most unfortunate thing is that many basements in London - inhabited by the poorest people in the city - were completely filled by the incoming torrent, causing Many people died and thousands were left homeless.

At that time, there was no alarm system to wake up sleeping citizens, and the Thames Barrier to prevent floods from entering the city had not yet been built. Floodwaters gush out from the subway, overflowing the embankments, rushing through Southwark and Lambeth districts, passing through Temple Pier, and hitting the Houses of Parliament. The old palace courtyard and the new Westminster Hall suddenly became one Vast ocean. “The water poured over the guardrail like a waterfall and reached the foot of Big Ben,” a reporter from The Times wrote. "At the Obelisk and the Royal Air Force Memorial Hall, you can see small waterfalls everywhere. The training ship President even floated to the same height as the street."

"Reminiscent of Shakespeare and the streets and alleys of that era. The water rose so fast that those who had just woken up had to throw off their blankets and run out in their pajamas."

The most serious one in later generations was the North Sea flood in 1953, which forced 32,000 people to evacuate. It was not until 1982 that construction of the Thames Flood Control Dam began, and it was officially opened in 1984. Thames Flood Barriers project manager Steve East said the Thames Flood Barriers could protect central London from a once-in-a-thousand-year flood; however, this assurance was almost dashed in 2014.

Although this is not the flood season, the Thames Estuary is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside. The tide surges in and the water level rises. Once the river dam is blown up, London can also be flooded.

At the same time as Yannick gave the order, the small town of Boumare in Scotland was also extremely lively.

"It's suffocating me these days." Fred stretched and watched excitedly as the tanks around him started up one after another. These days, more than a hundred tanks and various armored vehicles are assembled in Boumare's factory.

One of his soldiers asked as he got into an armored vehicle. "Squad leader, I heard that our goal has changed?"

Fred nodded. "It has been changed. Prioritize occupying Roslyn Town."

"Roslyn Town? What is that place?"

"I heard it's a town seven miles south of Edinburgh."

While talking, several signal flares were fired into the air, and dense rockets landed on the minefield buried in front of the anti-tank trench. The successive explosions plowed the entire minefield. Immediately afterwards, several bulldozers rumbled to the anti-tank trenches and began to fill the trenches.

This series of actions made the British troops surrounding the small town of Bumare extremely nervous.

"Quick...quick...order all the soldiers to get into combat positions, the Germans are about to attack!!" Commander Brooke's calves were trembling nervously. Although the British army surrounding the small town of Bumare had one division, this division was not fully staffed; it only had more than 10,000 people. What's even more terrible is that all the soldiers with a little experience were transferred to the front to stop the German army. The people stationed here today are all new recruits, and many of them have never even fired a gun a few times.

Relying on these people to block the German attack on the opposite side, Commander Brook felt suffocated. He could only use some tough measures. "Send my security platoon up. Anyone who dares to fight and run away will be shot on the spot!"

Although the Soviet Union's brutal war supervisors can often be seen in later movies, war supervisors have appeared in countries such as Britain, France, and Germany.

In the British Army, the number of soldiers and low-level officers who were shot on the spot or sentenced to death during the war has long been a secret. This figure was deliberately concealed in the book "Data on British Military Operations in the First World War" published in 1922. It was not until more than 70 years after the end of World War I, that is, in 1994, that the most confidential part of the British Army's information was automatically declassified, and people did not find out the exact number of soldiers executed that year.

According to archives and statistics, during World War I, a total of about 3,800 soldiers and officers were executed, including 11% of on-the-spot executions - that is, deserters caught on the battlefield and executed on the spot by the supervising team. In addition to being sentenced to death, tens of thousands of soldiers and officers were convicted and sentenced by military tribunals, and most of these defendants were unable to find lawyers to defend themselves.

British war corps and military tribunals dealt with deserters on a large scale, mainly in 1915 and 1916. For a few months in 1914, the morale of frontline officers and soldiers was acceptable; in 1917, as anti-war sentiment further spread, desertion turned into a large-scale mutiny. The British upper class no longer dared to kill deserters at will, and privately promised not to allow frontline troops to invest "without Hope survives the battle”.

In the tragic Battle of Verdun, the French army suffered heavy shelling from the Germans and suffered heavy casualties. Anti-war sentiment within the army was high, and a large number of soldiers wanted to flee the battlefield.

French general Pétain was ordered to do so at the critical moment. After inspecting the battlefield, he drew a line and organized a group of officers to station on this line. He ordered the soldiers to hold their position, and if they dared to withdraw beyond this line, they would be shot directly.

A large number of French soldiers wanted to retreat, but found that they were still greeted by black muzzles, but they were not from the Germans, but from their own people. Many fleeing French soldiers died at the hands of the supervisory team, intimidating other French soldiers. In the end, the French paid a heavy price and defended Verdun.

At the end of World War II, the morale of the German army gradually collapsed. Schörner himself was known for his toughness. His command and tactics may not be very clever, but his determination to persevere exceeds that of many German generals. He personally led the guards and shot deserters in front of the troops, and declared that "cowards can only be shot and will not be forgiven." However, while being hated by his subordinates, the situation of the German army's defeat on the northern front did improve. Some of the broken troops were intercepted by field military police and then unified into punishment camps. Punishment camps generally have 500 to 1,000 people, who are sent to the fiercest and most brutal battlefields. Scherner believed that the punishment battalion should be allowed to serve as a rearguard, attracting Soviet firepower, and their shame could be washed away until all were killed.
