166 Anything will do

"Do you really need to perform such a mission?" A German pilot looked at his commander with an incredible expression on his face.

According to the mission just announced, after a few days of bombing, they will once again visit London city on a large scale.

The flames there have been extinguished and the rubble there may have been cleared, so they are going to go again and drop thousands of tons of bombs there.

"Who said you were going to drop a bomb?" The commander smiled and said, "This time I went there, I wasn't the one who dropped a bomb, I was going to do two things!"

"Two things?" The pilot heard that he was not going to drop bombs, and obviously didn't know what to say.

"This time you take off, your main task is to throw the printed flyers to the British!" The officer pointed to the flyers that had been tied up and was about to drop over London, and said with a smile.

These flyers were printed very sloppy. After all, it was a big project to print hundreds of thousands of flyers before September 10.

On the scribbled flyer, there is a blurry photo of Rommel in the small town of Selum. In fact, this photo was taken at the end of August when he was retreating to Selum.

However, Goebbels, who was ordered to promote the incident of Rommel's troops entering Selum again, certainly did not mind doing some kind deception.

In fact, on the morning of this day, German armored troops had appeared outside Nira, West Dubai, and said that they had occupied Selum, which was definitely not a lie.

"Sir! Can you believe such flyers?" The pilot asked, looking at the printed flyers, writing the date of September 9 in English.

The layout of the flyer is incomparable to today's computer layout. Apart from a big photo and the huge text of the German army entering Selum on September 9 below the photo, there are only persuasions similar to surrendering quickly.

Everyone is not optimistic about how much this kind of leaflet is to persuade surrender. Goebbels and Li Le have formulated such an airdrop plan just to slap Churchill in the face.

Another reason is that using their own radar for experiments, German scientists have found a machine that can receive radar beams!

This machine is an early radar warning system. Although it is impossible to determine the specific location of enemy radars, it can provide a rough warning for bomber and fighter troops.

For example, it can know whether there are enemy radars nearby, which can allow the German senior management to grasp the completion of radar reconstruction work in the UK.

For example, it can help pilots learn that the enemy has discovered them and the enemy's fighter plane is coming - either look back or increase alert!

Therefore, mixing bombers equipped with this instrument into this batch of planes delivering leaflets to test their functions in practice is also one of the purposes of this flight.

"Come on the plane! Let's go! Let the British see how bad they lost elsewhere!" Seeing that all the bombers were ready, the officer ordered loudly.

On the morning of September 10, German bombers resumed bombing on London. A harsh alarm sounded again over London, which had been calm for 10 days.

However, the expected explosion did not occur, and the city did not ignite a fire. The air defense forces watched the planes drop countless floating leaflets, as if it was snowing heavily.

Soon, the leaflets fell on the ground, some rolled in the air with the wind, and some fell directly into Thames Hanoi.

These very hasty-printed flyers attracted the attention of civilians who walked out of the air raid shelter after detaching the air strike alarm.

They picked up the flyer under their feet and looked at the huge September 9th figure on the flyer for no reason.

"Hey! What happened yesterday?" An old man holding a flyer asked the army soldier who was also confused standing beside him.

The soldier maintained public order at the air raid shelter gate. He was also looking at the flyer in his hand, hoping that he could see some clues from it.

"Did the German land yesterday?" A woman spoke in fear and asked the army soldier who was still not speaking in front of her.

"Oh! Madam! The Germans did not log in! Believe me!" The soldier finally realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly explained.

He raised the flyer in his hand and asked loudly: "Who knows where Selum is! Who knows this? Explain it to everyone!"

For ordinary London citizens, Selum is not a familiar place name. After all, even today, few people can recite all the place names of their motherland.

"This seems to be a city in North Africa!" A middle-aged gentleman who read the newspaper a few days ago remembered the name of the city.

Almost twenty days ago, the British government hyped that General Vevere defeated Italy in North Africa and recovered places including West Dubai Nila.

At that time, everyone was talking about General Vevere and about the victory in North Africa, but few people noticed that small Egyptian border city, Selum.

The small town is too small, with only 3,000 local people living there, and it may be considered as one small town at most in the UK.

"My God! It's good if you're not a German landing!" The British woman who was so scared just now finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone was relieved to hear what happened in the distant North Africa. After all, the distance is so far, it cannot pose a threat to themselves immediately, right?

Compared to the terrifying thing like the German Army landing on the British mainland, it is completely acceptable to lose a small city on the battlefield in North Africa.

"So, did the Germans counterattack? Defeat our army in North Africa?" After a sigh of relief, someone realized why the Germans did this.

The victory of the British army in North Africa seems to be just a brief victory. Now the Axis powers have counterattacked in North Africa and have already won the first city...

"Since it's not a German, it's easy to deal with it." A woman with a son in her family served in a military service on the coastline, said with a heartfelt thought.

For civilians, it is already a good situation for their country to be uninvaded and their families do not have to face danger.

"So, General Weiville failed?" A young man asked curiously with his canvas bag.

In fact, more than ten days ago, there was news that General Weiville had been captured by Germany, but the rumor came from the enemy's radio station, and the official did not admit it.

Now, the German army has counterattacked again and seized a border city in Egypt, which indirectly confirms the news of General Vevere's defeat.

Germany does not have its own spy system in the UK, but because the relationship between the two countries has never been closely related, the spies installed cannot obtain valuable information.

However, even so, it is very simple to let these spies pass news back to the country about the defeat of North Africa.

It is precisely for this reason that Li Le and Goebbels decided to launch this public opinion battle, using bloody facts to awaken the war-weariness of British civilians.

"Damn it! Are the Germans really that powerful? Or are our commanders so stupid?" a British civilian complained from a distance.

Standing among them, the British infantry carrying weapons, could only do what he should do: "Gentlemen! Stay calm! Collect the leaflets that the Germans threw down to deceive us and give it to me!"

It has to be said that throughout the entire World War II, Britain's experience and practices in national organizations were commendable.

The British spirit of obeying discipline and willing to support the motherland is worth learning from and learning from other countries.

"Hey? I saw it! You should say it carefully!" In the British Prime Minister's office, Churchill grabbed the phone depressedly, and was very angry at the report there.

When he left the air defense underground bunker just now, he had already seen the numerous German leaflets on the street.

Even someone had already sent a picture in front of him and saw the content that gave him a headache.

Germany will indeed not allow him to manipulate public opinion and the media, nor will it watch him conceal the real situation in North Africa.

I don't know whether it was to expose his lies or because the preparations were fully prepared, the German army began to attack.

Moreover, the attack speed was very fast. Yesterday, he had received a report from North Africa, and the news was that Selum had been captured by the Germans.

It's not a big news worthy of publicity. British soldiers were wiped out because they didn't have time to retreat.

In comparison, even the seafarers who died in sneak attacks by German naval submarine forces every day may be no less than this number.

However, as if he was slapping the face, more than ten days ago, he had just reported on the process of the North African battle in a way that avoided the most.

As a result, the day before yesterday, the German army launched a counterattack - now it is estimated that they have all reached Nira, West Dubai, so how can he not be nervous?

"Where is the commander of our North African Nile Army?" Churchill asked an anxious question: "What does he think about this matter?"

Now, the so-called Nile Army is only left with the 6th Australian Infantry Division, which has just arrived in North Africa.

The troops that were famous later generations, such as the 7th Armored Division, have actually been wiped out.

"Sir! General Cunningham is powerless to fight back! He can only give up West Dubai Nira!" a subordinate replied.
