Leaving the embassy and on the way to the Ministry of Defense, Natalie sat in a Fiat car and looked out the window.
The city of Warsaw is generally calm, with many pedestrians on the wide streets, most of them carrying large bags of food, which should have been purchased.
In anticipation of the possibility of a siege in Warsaw, citizens are stocking up on food.
There were also many people in military uniforms, who were in a bit of a hurry, and they didn't know whether to rush to the barracks to report or to meet their families for the last time The boulevard leading to the Grand Place is lined with long rows of four-story houses, very well built, they are all intact and not destroyed by the bombing, Hersmann wants to get Warsaw intact, it is a well-built city, a bit like Paris.
With the exception of Petersburg, there was no city comparable to it in the original Russian Empire.
If all goes well, Natalie will hopefully become mayor of Warsaw after the war, which will be a good job, running a prosperous city without being accountable to the citizens.
Some people may accuse her of being a "traitor", but in a few years, when Germany wins the world war, no one will say so.
People will only remember her as the world's first female mayor to lead a large city, an outstanding politician Because history is written by the victors, and Hirschman is sure to be the winner, Natalie also thinks that she will be a good person.
"Poland will never fail" Marshal Rezmigvi may well have gone mad, he lived in his own fantasies, which was Natalie's first impression of the commander-in-chief of the Polish army.
Poland's Primorsky Army and Krakow Army Group have completely collapsed in the past few days, parts of the 9th Division of the Primorsky Army and the Poznan Army Group have joined forces, the Łódź Army has been scattered, most of them have been taken prisoner, only a small part has fled to Warsaw and become the main force defending Warsaw, and the headquarters of the Warsaw Army Group being formed is the headquarters of the former Łódź Army.
The Prussian Army Group, the general reserve of the Polish army, was hastily withdrawing to Radom, 90 kilometers south of Warsaw.
Now the door to Warsaw was completely open to the Germans.
Even the Polish government knew that Warsaw could not hold it, so it retreated to Lublin.
Rezhimigvi, however, remained confident that Poland would win "Then you invited me here" Natalie Lesinskaya was slightly surprised, she looked around, it was a very cramped office, it was certainly not Rezhimigvi's.
And she was quietly led into the Ministry of Defense building through the back door by Rezhimigvi's adjutant.
"To discuss peace negotiations, of course," Rezmigvi whispered, "and now that the Germans are locked in a two-front war, it is impossible to win."
And we have a greedy neighbor to the east of Poland, who are ready to move, and if our two countries continue to fight like this, the USSR may well become the final victor" "Soviet" Natalie looked at Rezhimigvi, "Marshal, I need more definite information. ” Rezhimigvi was silent for a moment and said: "Britain proposed that we start negotiations with the USSR on the independence of the Free State of Ukraine" No wonder Natalie said that the British must have been beaten badly in Scapa Bay, so they wanted to "betray" Ukraine to win over the Soviet Union.
And how can Rezhimigvi be willing to give up the Free State of Ukraine That is hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of black soil, as well as coal mines, iron ore and oil, and all kinds of non-ferrous metals, Poland wants to become an industrial power, all counting on Ukraine's resources.
Compared to Ukraine, what is the loss of Ukraine for the sake of Danzig, that must be the stupidest fool in the whole world.
So the British had just "kindly" put forward a proposal for "Ukrainian independence", and the Polish triumvirate had an urge to hit the wall.
"And what about the conditions of peace," Natalie asked.
"The free city of Danzig plus a coastal corridor," Rezhimigvi said, gritting his teeth, "plus Lithuania excluding the Vilnius region" What did you do earlier, Natalie thought to herself: at this point, General Hersman would still allow Poland to become independent "Okay," Natalie nodded, "I'll relay the news to the General." ” "There must be an agreement before the end of September," Rezhimigvi said to Natalie, "otherwise we in Poland will be forced to lose Ukraine and you will be caught between the Soviet Union and France."
"Then you have to fight the Soviet Union with Germany" Natalie still felt that Rezmi Gvi was thinking that although Stalin did not want to attack Britain and France with Germany, the dictator would not be so confused as to join forces with France to fight Germany.
The Tsar had already done such a stupid thing once, risking his own life, and Stalin would be so stupid to learn from Nicholas II "No," Rezhimigvi said seriously, "we don't need German help, we can defeat the USSR on our own."
In fact, unless Germany and the Soviet Union joined forces, neither could defeat Poland alone.
If Germany is not willing to negotiate peace immediately, then we will first fight a battle like the Marne, and then Germany will have to negotiate with Poland. ” "What, what, the French said that they would not be ready to attack the Siegfried Line until 1941, which is ridiculous" Churchill, the British Admiralty-Chancellor, has almost become the de facto prime minister in the past two days, and the idea at every cabinet meeting is that he is in charge because everyone else has no master.
"Yes," replied Baron William Edmund Ironside, who had just taken office on September 3, with a smile, "and the French thought that if they were to attack now, a million people would die, so they needed to build a lot of oversized artillery and special armored vehicles to attack the fortified areas."
It's going to take 2 years."
"A bunch of French cowards" Churchill rolled his eyelids, "do they think it is possible for the Poles to hold out for 2 years" "Actually, they offer another possibility."
Baron Ironside said, "If the Netherlands and Belgium were willing to join us, we would be able to break through to Germany from the north of the Netherlands, and the German Siegfried Line would only be built as far as Clevaud, near the Dutch border." ” "Belgium is still possible, but the Netherlands is not likely to join," Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain shook his head repeatedly.
I think that when Kaiser Wilhelm was in trouble, he took refuge in the Netherlands, and it was Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands who protected him.
And Queen Wilhelmina's son-in-law, the future Dutch prince, was a member of the German royal family, not a member of the Hohenzollern dynasty, Duke Bernhard, who held the title of Duke of the German Empire, and was also an officer in the Wehrmacht.
There are these two layers of relationship, Germany and the Netherlands are their own people, how can the Netherlands join Britain and France "Actually, actually," said Baron Ironside, "the French mean that we can procure, well, to borrow without the consent of the Dutch. ” "Invasion of the Netherlands" Chamberlain looked at Baron Ironside, "Is the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces of Gammelin trying to turn both England and France into evil invaders, and Germany into defenders of justice in Europe?"
"This," Baron Ironside shrugged, "then there is no way. ” "No, we have a way" Admiral Churchill suddenly changed the subject at this time, "Baron, are you ready for the bombing of Berlin" "Preparations are underway," said Baron Ironside, "and eight squadrons of Wellington bombers have been mobilized. ” "What about the bombing routes?"
"From the airport in Norwich, fly north along the airspace line in the north of the Netherlands, reach the Bay of Heligoland and then turn southeast and fly directly to Berlin.
The total distance is about 870 km. ” "Why not fly in a straight line," Churchill asked.
"A straight line would pass through Dutch airspace, which would violate the neutrality of the Netherlands" Churchill shrugged, "The Dutch don't have radar, they won't find out" "But the Germans have, they will find out."
"Then they will do this," Churchill said, glancing at Viscount Halifax, the foreign secretary, "how would the Germans react if the German capital was bombed and the bombed planes were British planes flying over Dutch airspace?"
"We have violated the neutrality of the Netherlands," said Viscount Halifax, who looked at Churchill with some admiration, "from the point of view of international law, the Netherlands would lose their neutral status, and Germany could ask them to join, and if the Netherlands did not agree, Germany would occupy it." ” Churchill was going to play a side-kick ball, and it was a thing that could be denied that bombers flew over Dutch airspace at night, which was not at all the same thing as the murderous rush of French troops into the Netherlands.
And the German response, whether it was to force the Netherlands to side with them, or to march troops into the Netherlands, would have created an excuse for the Anglo-French forces to move quickly into Holland and Belgium.
"Theodore, are your people ready?"
General Hersmann did not know at this time that Berlin was about to be bombed, and he was at the Breslau airfield in Silesia, seeing off the 1st Regiment of the German Airborne Forces, the 1st Regiment of the Miuta Army, and the Greater German Infantry Regiment.
Three regimental units will form the "Miuta Cluster" and parachute into the Lviv oil fields.
Hersmann's old subordinates in the Miuta Special Forces, Major General Theodor von and Shipper, would serve as commanders of the entire cluster.
"No problem at all" Shipper is the same year as Hersman, 48 years old this year, but because of his long service in the special forces, he is still very strong.

He has now changed into a green collarless parachute suit characteristic of the Airborne Forces, and his earthy yellow parachute bag has been carried on his shoulders.
A platoon of Junkers-52 transport planes was already lined up at the Breslau military airfield and ready to take off. t1706231537:
