Jagged Germany-Chapter 1702: surrender

The British side secretly sent envoys to express their willingness to end the war to the German side. In particular, the emissary was personally served by British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden. This is quite beyond the expectations of the German side. However, it can also be seen from this that the British really want to surrender.

Marshal Bromberg, commander of the German Army Group A, reported to the country on the one hand, and on the other hand, sent a transport plane to send Anthony Eden and his entourage to Germany. Although Marshal Bromberg is now the front-line commander, such a major event is obviously not up to him to decide.

This also forced Kaiser Qin Tian to hold an emergency meeting that night.

"Gentlemen, the British special envoy Anthony Eden is already on the Atlantic Ocean. It is estimated that he will arrive in our country tomorrow. So, what should we do with the British request for an armistice? Do we want to accept it?" Qin Tian asked .

"Your Majesty, the British surrender now is a good thing for us! Although the strength of the British is much weaker than that of the Americans. But if they surrender, then we can concentrate on dealing with the United States on the North American continent." Even, this is a heavy blow to the morale of the Americans." Foreign Minister Ribbentrop said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We can fully consider accepting the surrender of the British." Prime Minister Wahit also said.

Qin Tian nodded and looked at the ministers of the military.

"Your Majesty, the British lost nearly a million troops in the battles of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It can be said that the main force of the British Army has been wiped out by us. Most of the remaining troops are newly formed The second-line troops are not strong. Under such circumstances, even if we do not accept the surrender of the British, we can easily crush them." Marshal Manstein said.

Marshal Raeder, Minister of the Navy, and Albert Kesselring, Minister of the Air Force, also nodded repeatedly. For the German army, it is not difficult to destroy Britain. However, it depends on how Qin Tian chooses.

Qin Tian thought for a while, it was beyond his expectation that Churchill would change his position so quickly and choose to surrender. However, it would be best if there was no war. Now Britain, after retiring to Canada, has no threat to Germany.

"Then accept the British's surrender!" Qin Tian made a decision.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The ministers of the empire replied one after another.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with the Kingdom of England and Wales?" Ribbentrop asked.

England and the Kingdom of Wales hope that the German army can destroy the British Empire. For this reason, they even prepared to invest more than two million troops in this war to assist the German army in fighting.

Qin Tian said immediately: "It's very simple. From now on, the British Empire will no longer exist. What will continue to exist will be the Kingdom of Canada."

"Your Majesty, this is a good way. From now on, the British Empire will be regarded as non-existent. Then, the Kingdom of England and Wales naturally have no other opinions." Ribbentrop said.

"Gentlemen, what kind of conditions do we want to put on the British?" Qin Tian asked.

To surrender, you have to accept Germany's harsh conditions, which is already a common practice.

"Everything is up to His Majesty. Now Britain has no capital to bargain with us." Prime Minister Wahit said.

"First, abolish the title of the British Empire and call it the Kingdom of Canada in the future. Second, cede Newfoundland, Cape Breton, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia to the Empire. Third, pay the Empire two hundred The war indemnity of the billion marks. Fourth, limit the development of military power. No air force, navy and armored forces are allowed, and the total strength of the army is controlled below 100,000. The police, that is, the armed police, must not exceed 200,000. Small air patrols can be established Troops and maritime patrol forces." Qin Tian said.

Obviously, if you want to surrender, land cession and compensation are indispensable. Although Newfoundland and other territories that Qin Tian wanted to seize were far away from Germany. However, these islands and peninsulas would serve as a bridgehead for future German surveillance of the North American continent. Once there are places on the North American continent that threaten Germany's interests or safety, the German army can immediately dispatch from these places, or use these places as a transit point. This is much better than the German army crossing the Atlantic Ocean for thousands of miles, and then coming to attack the North American continent.

Regarding Qin Tian's several opinions, the German military and political ministers did not have any objections. Of course, they believed that the British would not raise objections. After all, this is much better than the complete demise of Britain. Germany can agree that they continue to exist in the name of the Kingdom of Canada, which is already extraordinarily gracious. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden arrived in Germany and immediately held secret negotiations with German Foreign Minister Ribbentrop.

In other words, this can no longer be called negotiation. Instead, Germany announced its disposal plan for the United Kingdom.

In front of Anthony Eden, Ribbentrop announced that if Britain wanted to surrender, it had to accept several conditions from Germany. Otherwise, the war will continue. And Britain will be destroyed.

Regarding Germany's tough attitude, Anthony Eden felt aggrieved and helpless. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he is very clear about the advantages Germany currently has. Britain has no bargaining capital at all. Although Germany's terms are harsh, if accepted, they can continue to exist in the name of the Kingdom of Canada. This is something that Anthony Eden can accept. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

That night, Anthony Eden contacted Toronto by telegram.

Prime Minister Churchill and other British ministers discussed the conditions proposed by the Germans. Everyone thinks that the conditions of the Germans are too harsh. However, no one proposed to reject these conditions of the Germans. After all, they are also smart people, knowing that they have no room to refuse now. Unless you want to see their country perish, otherwise, you have to accept the conditions put forward by the Germans.

It is for this reason that after scolding the Germans, Prime Minister Churchill instructed Anthony Eden to sign an armistice treaty with the Germans.

So, at 10 am on January 16, 1941, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, as the plenipotentiary representative of the British government, signed an armistice treaty with the German government's plenipotentiary Foreign Minister Ribbentrop. The war between Germany and Great Britain ended.
