Chapter 1974 Propaganda Offensive
There are no irritating words in the leaflet, because there is no need, what you need is to cause panic, and cursing seems to have no other effect except to irritate the other party. The content is to remind ordinary people that if you unfortunately die in the bombing, then the British government is the least indifferent, and your family is the most painful. Since the government can arrange military factories in the city for the sake of war, it does not need to take into account Your lives, their loved ones and friends have all been moved to safety. So why do you work for such a government? The British government just treats millions of civilians in London as human shields!
Of course, the most critical thing is the last sentence, the bombing will start at 8 o'clock! Whether the content in the leaflet is correct can be quickly verified! It is less than an hour before the bombing actually starts. This is not only telling the British people that we will do what we say, but also telling the British government that our bombers are coming, so what about your fighter jets? If the prince's estimation is correct, at this time, the British fighter jets should just meet the German decoy fleet! Then fight an skirmish with little preparation!
When the people became a little flustered, when the British gendarmes and police came out to maintain law and order, at No. 10 Downing Street this morning, in the prime minister's official residence, there was also such a leaflet on the dining table of Prime Minister Asquith, The Prime Minister put down the tableware in his hand and began to carefully read this airmail from the enemy!
"Having Marshal Haig and Lloyd George come to my office, today is a very important moment." Asquith said, and immediately, he glanced at the time at the end of the leaflet. "Order the London Air Force to prepare to meet the enemy. I ask them to deal a head-on blow to the air raids launched by the Germans. I also tell Marshal Trenchard, who is now in Dunkirk, to immediately mobilize air reinforcements from other areas. The capital must not become the back garden of the Germans' wanton actions!"
"This may be difficult. Even if we tell Marshal Trenchard that he will start implementing the plan immediately, it may be too late." The military staff next to him said with some embarrassment.
"This is an order. I just give the order. How to act is his business. If everything needs to be arranged by me, the prime minister, then why do you need them, marshals and generals?" Asquith said violently! At this moment, no one knows that the British Prime Minister is using rage to cover up his inner panic!
Maybe the civilians outside London will not believe the leaflets in their hands, but as the British Prime Minister, he really believes that the German bombing will start at 8 o'clock, and he can conclude that this bombing will definitely not It's a small fight! The bombs dropped can definitely make the British feel quite painful! The reason is very simple. At this time, Crown Prince Ruprecht is commanding the German army on the western front. Once this demon who doesn't like to speak out really says something, he will definitely do it! His military "credibility" is as reliable as his political "credibility"! If he said he wanted to turn London into a battlefield and continue the bombing until the end of the war, then he would definitely do it, and no one could stop it!
Isn't it amazing? Yes, people are very emotional sometimes. Let's not talk about whether the prince's paper bombs have deterred ordinary British people, but he has already made Asquith feel fear and anxiety! The so-called ignorance is sometimes a kind of happiness, and that is what I mean! Others don't know the significance of this leaflet, but Asquith does.
He even knew the meaning of these leaflets that the prince dropped. This was a psychological offensive, a psychological offensive that made the UK, which already hated war and was also dragged to the brink of collapse by intense consumption, be beyond redemption. Although,
On the surface, the Dutch attack on Britain at the estuary of the Thames was more deadly, but in fact, it was just a tactical error by Britain, as if a strong man would be punched by a woman, although it may be more It's shameful, but it's actually not fatal, but this time is different. This is the biggest crisis in the British Empire for hundreds of years. Although the opponent has not yet come to the door, the war has severely overdrawn the national power accumulated by the British for hundreds of years!
The British are also desperately persevering, not to mention the huge consumption on the battlefield every day, and the huge fleet is precarious under the attack of wolves. Even the base of the military power of the British Empire, the middle and lower officers of the British Empire composed of aristocrats were exhausted in the war, and even the British government had to use these families to raise military expenses, and the land tax of up to 80% was enough for most The bankruptcy of small and medium-sized nobles may not seem like a big deal to outsiders, but Asquith knows that when those military nobles who lasted for several or even ten generations went bankrupt, they thought that their sacrifices were in exchange for the country's plunder. , Then in the next war, who will work for the empire? How can the British army fight without the most core officers?
(The combat power of the Second German Empire was supported by the noble officers. The British are actually similar. A large number of military nobles have received military training since childhood. Their level will definitely be much better than that of civilians. These people constitute the British army. They fought for the country, and they also received dividends. If one day, when the country personally destroys this class, then the combat effectiveness will definitely drop immediately. In fact, in World War II, if we talk about the elite level of the army, the British and German troops It’s still the top. As for the U.S. Army? If you don’t consider equipment and air force factors, the Army is really average. The British’s phrase “Italians on our side” refers to the Americans who have just joined the war...)
"In any case, we must fight a victorious battle over the capital of the empire, and we must show our strength to the people and our enemies!" Asquith said. As a result, his order was quickly conveyed, and the fighter units deployed around London began to take off, while Marshal Trenchard on the other side of the strait looked at the telegram with a depressed expression on his face.
"How the fuck is this?" Marshal Trenchard ruthlessly threw the telegram on the table. The so-called professional things should be handed over to professional people, and Prime Minister Asquith obviously did not consider the specific implementation of the campaign when he issued the order. We must know that the war is not a problem that can be solved by directly going up, and Trenchard does not have enough strength at this time, nor is he prepared, and he does not even have a complete plan. Things came a little suddenly!
