Chapter 1029 Fascist Comrade

The current Prime Minister of the British Empire is Oswald Mosley, Chairman of the Fascist League. He and the Queen's husband, Prince Friedrich, are the two most powerful men in the UK. At the same time, they are probably the most supportive of integration in the entire UK. European politicians.

However, Britain is still Britain after all, and being at a distance from the European continent is what most British people want.

Neither truly becoming part of Europe, nor leaving Europe forever, are what these British islanders want.

The Rolls-Royce sedan in which the Prime Minister was riding left Buckingham Palace and headed towards No. 10 Downing Street. It is still the official residence of the Prime Minister and the political center of Britain, but Britain is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets.

The streets of London looked depressed, most of the shops were closed, and there were not many pedestrians, but people wearing black lightning armbands and brown military uniforms could be seen everywhere - they were volunteer members of the Fascist Alliance, dressed and dressed like Rome. The Blackshirts are somewhat similar to the early German stormtroopers.

The fascist vigilantes were distributing leaflets of the Fascist Alliance, which was preparing for the upcoming parliamentary elections. Now that the Soviet Union was about to be defeated, and the United States had sued for peace with the European Community, the war seemed to be over soon. And when peace comes, the British "National Defense Authorization Act" will naturally expire.

Without the National Defense Authorization Act, the Queen would theoretically not directly appoint Mosley to form a cabinet without the approval of the House of Commons. However, if Queen Elizabeth believes that the National Defense Authorization Act is still valid, no one in the UK would dare to propose it at the moment. Dissenting...

However, the Fascist Alliance is still preparing for the general election. Mosley hopes that his party can win the election in the near future and control the lower house of parliament.

However, British public opinion was not very favorable to the fascist alliance.

First of all, the Fascist Alliance was unable to do anything about Britain's dilapidated economy, and it did not show the level of governance like the Italian Fascist Party and the German Nazi Party. Even worse than the French Socialist Party (not the White Left Socialist Party, but a socialist party imitating the Nazis) and the People's Party (imitating the German Fatherland People's Party) in France.

At least France's economic situation is now much better than that of Britain, and it has also successfully turned the vast Algeria and French Morocco into French native provinces and forced Christianization there.

Secondly, the European integration policy of the British Fascist Alliance is not accepted by the people. Unlike the French across the Taiwan Strait, the British people are generally opposed to joining the European Community, and they are unwilling to participate in the German war. Therefore, the British government So far, no troops have been sent to the Soviet Union, nor have the small fleets left on the mainland been allowed to go to sea to fight the U.S. Navy.

In addition, the British public's hatred of Germany's ally Japan also affected the support rate of the Fascist Alliance.

The third thing that put the fascist alliance in trouble was the war in India. The Germans, who looked so powerful elsewhere, somehow became inactive on the Indian battlefield. Their troops watched helplessly as the Indian Red Army and the Soviet Red Army entered Lahore. Now almost all of northwest India has become a sea of ​​red flags.

Britain's rule on this most precious colony has become precarious!

The Prime Minister's Rolls-Royce stopped at the heavily guarded entrance of No. 10 Downing Street. Before 1943, the official residence of the Prime Minister of the British Empire was almost undefended, with only an unarmed policeman standing guard. Now, the entire Downing Street is a military restricted area, guarded by officers and soldiers of the Royal Guard with guns.

Seeing the Prime Minister getting out of the black Rolls-Royce, the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards at the door of No. 10 Downing Street all stood at attention and raised their hands in salute: "Long live the Queen!"

"Long live the Queen!" Mosley also raised his hand in return.

Because of her tough performance in suppressing the revolution in London, Queen Elizabeth is now the true leader of Britain. Even the stormtroopers of the Fascist Alliance shouted: "Long live the Queen!" when saluting each other.

The military uniform bust of the young Queen of England hangs in the lobby of No. 10 Downing Street. There is no smile on her beautiful and delicate face, her brows are slightly frowned, and she seems to be watching everyone who enters the house with a cold gaze. .

After Mosley entered the gate of No. 10 Downing Street, he stood at attention again and raised his hand towards the Queen's photo: "Long live the Queen!"

"Mr. Prime Minister," one of Mosley's personal secretaries came over and whispered to him, "Marshal Alexander is waiting in the cabinet meeting room and said he has something important to do."

"Is it important?" Mosley nodded, "Okay, I'll go see him right away."

He quickly followed his secretary into the conference room and met Marshal Alexander, the Imperial Chief of Staff in military uniform. The two of them first raised their hands and saluted each other.

"Harold, is there anything important?" the Prime Minister asked.

"Yes." Marshal Alexander breathed out, "Marshal Hersman invited me to be a guest at Zossen's manor from May 31st to June 1st."

"This is..." The British Prime Minister was a little confused. Is it an important matter to visit Hessmann's house?

"It's Project U!" Marshal Alexander took a breath, "They have achieved success and are ready to show it to us... just before the European Community Leaders' Meeting!"

"What? Project U?" Mosley asked, "Information from MI6?"

"It's the French news!" Marshal Alexander said, "It's absolutely reliable, because Germany's U project will be tested in the Algeria Province of France."

"Do you know how powerful it is?" Mosley asked again.

He knew what U project was. The British intelligence department had long discovered that Germany was researching atomic bombs! They also tried to sabotage it, but they didn't succeed.

"I don't know." Marshal Alexander shook his head, "Maybe it will fail, maybe it will blow a big hole in the earth."

"Then go and see," Prime Minister Mosley said, "Report the test to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister."

...

Marshal Maxime Weygand, the 77-year-old French Minister of the Army, also received a handwritten letter from Hessmann, but he didn't invite him to Zossen, but directly informed him that the "Heisenberg device" would be tested on June 1, and hoped that he could visit the Ouargla Oasis to observe the test process.

He received the letter on May 30. After consulting President Pétain and issuing an order to impose martial law throughout Algeria, Marshal Weygand flew to Algiers, the capital of Algeria, on a Bloch MB.220 transport plane on the 31st.

Bloch MB.220 is a transport plane developed by France before World War II. It can't hold much stuff or passengers. It is small and simple. The noise in the cabin is very loud and it flies very slowly. It can't be compared with the best transport plane in Europe now, the Fokker 42. The flight from Paris to Algiers made the elderly Marshal Weygand suffer a lot.

However, the old marshal was still unwilling to take the Germans' high-end passenger plane, because in his opinion, if the French took German planes, it would not take many years for France to lose its aviation industry!

And a truly powerful country cannot be without an aviation industry... Well, starting from June 2, the "Heisenberg device" will probably become a standard for major powers, right?

But when will France have its own "Heisenberg device"?

When Marshal Weygand got off the Bloch plane with backache, he thought of France's own atomic bomb project - of course it has not started yet, because Germany refused to provide technical support and also expressed its opposition to France's independent development of nuclear weapons!

The European Community will be a unified federal country in the future, so the nuclear weapons Germany now has will belong to the European Community in the future. So France, Britain, Russia, Croatia-Hungary and other countries do not need to invest in the development of nuclear weapons now.

"Marshal!"

Just as Weygand was thinking about how to secretly develop nuclear weapons, someone was already saluting him. That person was Lieutenant General Tassini, the commander of the Algerian Military Region.

"Le. Jean." Weygand did not return the salute to the other party, but just called the other party's nickname, and then asked about the situation in Algeria. "What's the situation here? Has anyone thrown homemade bombs at our people recently?"

Because the Pétain government, with the support of Germany, forced the Christianization policy, it aroused strong resistance from the Algerian natives. First, a riot broke out in Constantine, a port in northeastern Algeria, which was bloodily suppressed and then turned into various bomb attacks.

In order to deal with this underground resistance movement, the Pétain government mobilized the French "SS" Frank Corps to station in Algeria and Morocco, and also set up a "Fascist Reformatory" in the Sahara Desert, where captured Saints or their families were sent to use fascism to touch their souls. It is said that the results of persuasion are very good...

"Now few people throw bombs," Lieutenant General Tassigny smiled bitterly, "Although those people (referring to the Frankish Legion) are all crazy, but we have to admit... Some people just fall for it. Sometimes a crazy fascist is more effective than ten thousand loving French people!"

"Yes!" Wei Gang sighed, "It's a pity that the French fascists all shouted: Hi! Darlan (the leader of the Frankish Legion is Darlan, not Petain or Renault)..."

Lieutenant General Tassigny shook his head and said: "Marshal, now the 'black feet' (referring to French immigrants) in Algeria also shouted: Hi! Darlan."

"Why?" Wei Gang was stunned again and again.

"Because after shouting, you won't be hurt by the indigenous rioters... No one dares to do that. Everyone in Algeria is afraid of fascist lunatics."
