It took ten days for the naval engineering force to seal the breach in the river dam, and another week for London to be completely drained before Yannick left for London.

Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee received advance news of Yannick's upcoming visit to London. Of course, for safety reasons, the German side did not disclose the specific itinerary. But for these people, the date is not important, what is important is the significance of the visit itself. After all, Germany is the new master for Britain today, so the new master's first visit should not be taken lightly. You might be able to save some money on compensation if you are more comfortable with the service.

"We must greet it with the highest standards." Clement Attlee held a special meeting for this purpose. "I will lead the team, and all of us will go to the airport to greet the German Crown Prince." Prime Minister Churchill was slumped on the hospital bed unable to move at this time, and he could only worry about large and small matters.

"It doesn't seem high enough," said the Foreign Secretary. "Can you please invite the royal family to come too?"

There is a principle of "reciprocity" in diplomacy, which means that for governments that have diplomatic recognition of each other, the host country will invite and receive officials of the same position as the visiting foreign guests (this principle applies to official or state visits). , private visits do not apply.)

This kind of diplomatic etiquette is mainly reflected in formal occasions during visits. For example, when a foreign head of state or government officially visits, the receptionist Congress holds a welcome ceremony and welcome banquet (not necessarily a state visit). If the visiting head of state is a foreign head of state, Then the head of state of the country will come forward to host the welcome ceremony and welcome banquet; if the person visiting is the head of government, then the head of government of the country will come forward.

The men who are coming now are the men who conquered Europe. The top leaders of the governments of the defeated countries are not qualified even if they are deployed in full force!

Clement Attlee sighed. "But His Majesty is bedridden."

"How about inviting Her Royal Highness the Queen or Her Royal Highness the Princess to go? I think Her Royal Highness the Princess is good. After all, she is the future queen."

Clement Attlee nodded. "Okay, I will ask for instructions. As for security work, the German side is fully responsible, so we don't need to worry about it."

Nowadays, all key departments in the UK are controlled by the Germans. It can be said that Yannick's visit this time is like walking around in his own back garden. This most important security work is naturally the responsibility of the Germans themselves.

Finally, three days later, on March 26, Yannick's "Air Force One" special plane took off for London.

This "Air Force One" was modified from a HE-177 bomber and can be said to be a luxury business jet. The original bomb bay was transformed into a gorgeous office by engineers. The floor was covered with an expensive wool carpet, and the original simple inner walls of the cabin were covered with precious oak boards; the four specially added portholes were hung with dark red velvet curtains.

There is a small desk on the left side of this office, and a row of leather sofas against the wall on the right side. The overall design looks well-coordinated and does not make people feel small or crowded.

Sitting on the sofa, Yannick thought about his next plan.

The British Empire surrendered, and then naturally the Soviet Union followed.

Although Yannik wanted to immediately send his troops eastward and deal a fatal blow to the Soviet Union, which had suffered heavy losses in the Soviet-Finnish War, the army needed to rest and recuperate.

Since the blitz against Poland last year, the German army has been sweeping across Europe non-stop. It has already been exhausted. This time it has to rest for about half a year. And half a year later it will be October, when it is the autumn rainy season in the Soviet Union, and then winter enters. Winter combat is not the German army's strong suit. Throughout World War II, not only from the end of 1941 to the beginning of 1942, the German army performed poorly whenever there was a firefight with its opponents every winter. It can be said that Germany, a country pursuing land hegemony, largely focused on winter operations.

It seems that we can only launch an attack in April next year like the "Barbarossa Plan" of the original time and space. Fortunately, there will be no cheating Mussolini at this time. (According to the original "Barbarossa Plan", the German army was originally preparing to launch an attack in April. As a result, 27 Italian divisions were defeated in Greece. It was so embarrassing that the German army had to dispatch its main army to deal with Greece, which delayed it for 2 months. It was not until late June that it began its attack on the Soviet Union. These 2 months basically determined its final fate.)

However, delaying the attack is not without its benefits. You can build more aircraft, tanks and cannons, arm more soldiers, and reserve more supplies and resources.

Looking at the Soviet Union, Stalin might have ordered the construction of more Maus tanks and Gustav cannons. And this time there will be no material support from the UK. (From June 1941 to May 1945, British support to the Soviet Union included: more than 3,000 Hurricane aircraft, more than 4,000 other aircraft, 27 naval ships, 5,218 tanks, more than 5,000 anti-tank guns, and 4,020 ambulances Cars and trucks, 323 mechanical trucks, 1,212 Bren cars and Lloyds, 1,721 motorcycles, aircraft engines worth 500 million pounds, 1,474 radar sets... A total of 4 million tons of war materials were delivered, including food and medical supplies.), even if the United States went all out to support the Soviet Union (during the entire war, the United States provided the Soviet Union with military supplies, spare parts and other industrial raw materials worth US$9.8 billion on a nearly free basis, equivalent to US$180 billion in later generations), Unless the United States opens a second battlefield behind Germany and invests a large number of troops, there will be no way to make a comeback. By then, the supplies supported by the United States would be in vain, and Roosevelt would be very distressed.

According to the domestic support rate in the United States at this time, Roosevelt's third term campaign is basically out of the question. Moreover, even if the United States joins the war and wants to open a second battlefield, without Britain as a springboard, where can it go? On the contrary, if Germany does not cause trouble for the United States, they will have to burn incense.

And last time he scared the Americans with a "flying bomb" with a range of more than 1,200 kilometers, and the Americans seemed to be really frightened. The U.S. ambassador to Spain was secretly in contact with the Spanish deputy head of state, wanting to buy "flying bombs" of drawings. However, Deputy Head of State Salazar insisted that he would not sell less than 500 tons of gold. Presumably the U.S. Congress would not easily agree to this transaction; Yannick was wondering whether to lower the price.

At this time, the special plane formation was flying over the British coastline. Looking at the white border line below, Yannick felt a sense of pride as a conqueror in his heart. After all, no king in recent hundreds of years has been able to set foot on this land as a conqueror. He is the first in modern history.
