Chapter 304 The British Come
Chapter 304: People from Britain
On May 12, 1940, the Netherlands announced its surrender. The next day, Hu Yunfeng received a telegram from Qi Yanming, who led 2,000 mercenaries to Belgium to gain benefits. Belgium had 22 divisions, and the main force of the British and French troops was also rushing to Belgium from France to assist Belgium, and the German armored troops were advancing very fast. After the mercenaries led by Qi Yanming and the German airborne troops raided the Belgium Eben Emal Fortress, because there were no heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, Qi Yanming could only bring the mercenaries to help the German guard the Emal Fortress. Apart from giving Qi Yanming the 1,200 captured and destroyed Belgium equipment and some fortress cannons to Qi Yanming, Qi Yanming almost did not get much oil.
Since this is the case, Amsterdam was short of troops, so Hu Yunfeng immediately decided not to let the mercenaries get involved in the war between the German army and the British, French and Biz in Belgium. He ordered Qi Yanming to return the Eben Emal Fortress to the German army and ask Qi Yanming to bring the mercenaries in Belgium to Amsterdam immediately.
If Belgium has no benefits, then you can get enough benefits in the Netherlands. When the German army surrounded the British, French and Belgian troops in France, then went to Paris to gain benefits. Of course, blackmailing Britain is essential, and you must also take all the things that Belgium did not get from Britain and France, with the principal and interest.
On May 15, Qi Yanming came to Amsterdam with two thousand mercenaries. Hu Yunfeng felt much more at ease and was no longer worried that the Dutch army who put down their weapons would suddenly rebel.
Since the new Dutch government announced its surrender to Germany and Hu Yunfeng promised in advance that he would send the Dutch troops who surrendered to him to Britain, the Dutch troops from The Hague to Amsterdam received secret orders to come to Amsterdam to surrender to the mercenaries. For a time, Amsterdam was overcrowded and weapons and equipment were piled up everywhere.
Hu Yunfeng only asked the Dutch not to rebel. He had no time to take care of spies from various countries. The commander of the Amsterdam defense zone took the opportunity to convey the news to the UK, hoping that the UK would contact Hu Yunfeng and transport the Dutch army surrendered in Amsterdam to the UK.
After mercenaries helped the German army seize Warsaw, Poland, Britain, France and other countries had long paid attention to the mercenaries. What they did not expect was that this time the German attack on the Netherlands was mercenaries who helped Germany occupy the Dutch capital, prompting the Netherlands to surrender so quickly. However, the mercenaries were willing to release the Dutch surrendered troops, making Churchill, who replaced Chamberlain as British Prime Minister on May 10, was very interested in the mercenaries. After receiving a notice from the commander of the Amsterdam Defense Zone, Churchill immediately sent a private representative to Amsterdam.
On May 16, a private representative sent by Churchill arrived in Amsterdam and came to see Hu Yunfeng at the recommendation of the commander of the Amsterdam Defense Zone in the Netherlands.
At this time, Hu Yunfeng was trying to find a way to transport the property, machinery and equipment that he had robbed in The Hague and the weapons and equipment that surrendered to the Dutch army back to the Soviet port, but he was afraid that Britain would intercept it at sea. He originally wanted to wait for Britain to retreat to Dunkirk before contacting Britain, but now Britain took the initiative to send people to contact him. Hu Yunfeng didn't expect a good way to transport the things back to the Soviet port, so he did not refuse.
"General, I am Sancho Bronson, the private representative of the new British Prime Minister." After Hu Yunfeng and Sancho Bronson looked at each other, Sancho Bronson introduced himself.
"Please sit down." Hu Yunfeng asked, "Is there anything wrong with Mr. Bronson coming to see me?"
"Yes, there are two things." Sancho Bronson saw Hu Yunfeng signaling him to continue, Bronson said: "The first thing is that your army occupied the British Empire's embassy in The Hague and detained the British Empire's embassy staff. Prime Minister Churchill hopes that you will release our embassy staff. The British Empire does not want the embassy staff to fall into the hands of the Germans."
After hearing what Bronson said, Hu Yunfeng remembered that when he occupied The Hague, he did order Lin Xingguo to arrest the British and French embassy personnel. He had forgotten about this matter even though he was too busy these days. It is estimated that Lin Xingguo was also busy transporting the Hague's property and forgot about this matter.
Hu Yunfeng said in surprise: "Mr. Bronson, I guess you made a mistake. How could I do something like occupying the embassy? I think it was done by the Germans, but I can find a way to help Britain get people out."
The man was shameless. Bronson nodded in his mind and asked, "The second thing, I heard you are going to help the Netherlands transport the surrendered soldiers to Britain?"
Hu Yunfeng nodded and said, "Yes, the Dutch government and the Queen did hire me to help them do this."
Bronson frowned and said, "The British government can assist you in this matter. I wonder when you will start organizing the delivery of personnel?"
"Well..." Hu Yunfeng took a sip of coffee and said, "It depends on the attitude of the UK when the transport personnel."
"As long as you agree, the British Empire can send warships to help you." Bronson said.
Damn it, I want the navy but no navy in Amsterdam, and the air force but no air force, only 3,000 ground troops. You send warships to occupy Amsterdam. Who should I cry? Hu Yunfeng immediately became alert when he heard Bronson say that Britain was going to send warships to Amsterdam.
He said: "You don't need to send warships. If the UK agrees with my agreement with the Netherlands, I will immediately find the Germans to release your embassy staff, and the Dutch surrendered troops can also be transported to Britain immediately."
"What agreement?" Bronson asked in confusion.
Hu Yunfeng called Lin Xinxin and asked her to bring the agreement reached with the Netherlands. Bronson was shocked after seeing the agreement. The Netherlands did not hire this guy, obviously he was blackmailed.
Hu Yunfeng smiled when he saw him and said, "Mr. Bronson, if the UK approves this agreement, I hope that another agreement will be signed between me, the UK and the Netherlands."
Isn't this guy trying to use the staff of the British Empire's embassy in the Netherlands to force the British Empire to sign such an agreement? Brownson stared at Hu Yunfeng and asked, "What kind of agreement do you need?"
Hu Yunfeng replied: "The agreement is very simple. As a witness, the British government and I re-signed this agreement. At the same time, the United Kingdom promised not to attack my ships at any time and not to attack Amsterdam. I promise to make the port of Amsterdam a neutral zone. I think this is beneficial to allies such as Britain."
Signing such an agreement does not cost any of the British Empire, but it seems to be cheaper for this guy. Bronson said: "I want to know whether this agreement between you and the Netherlands was voluntarily owned by the Dutch government and the Queen?"
"Of course." Hu Yunfeng immediately asked Lin Xinxin to call the Queen of Dutch.
"Dear Her Majesty, Mr. Sancho Bronson is the private representative of the British Prime Minister. We are discussing how to transport Dutch troops to the UK. Mr. Bronson wants to know if the agreement between us is your offer to hire me." Queen Weihemingna came to the room, and Hu Yunfeng asked her to sit down very politely, not at all like the demon who took her naked photos.
