It is even said that one day after a storm in 1894, the average flow of overflow on the dam was as high as 887 cubic meters per second.

It can be said that living in London is similar to Bangladesh, so you must be careful of floods.

During flooding, the river water can suppress the incoming tide and curb the tide far below Teddington, causing the river water to flow towards the sea for several days. On the contrary, when the tide is fierce, it can also overflow the river dam, and even resist the river water to 3.2 kilometers above Teddington.

In later generations, in order to better protect London, the United Kingdom built the Thames Water Gate in Silverton and fully built auxiliary flood barriers along the entire tidal section.

And now, there is only the Teddington Barrier.

Moreover, this dam that has existed for many years is not a concrete dam or an ordinary dam made of soil.

At this time, on the dam, a team of British soldiers were nervously watching the river in the distance at the mouth of the sea. According to time, the high tide was about to begin.

At this time, they had already dug a large hole in the river dam. The high tide was easily passed through the hole and directly poured into the canal next to it.

This canal is connected with the fortifications excavated by our side these days.

This is the second time they have done this.

The anti-tank trenches outside London were filled with water, which flowed through here.

However, at that time, they just opened a small hole. After the tide, when the sea water surged, they watched the tide flow through the small hole and flowed into their own fortifications through the canal. It was just right.

But this time, they dug a big hole, which is more than twenty times that of the last time!

Because, this time I need more water!

They belonged to the 24th Royal Engineer Regiment. At this time, the regiment commander Chloe was constantly looking into the distance, and at the same time, he looked at the soldiers beside him.

Their mission this time is very dangerous.

It is dangerous to dig such a hole. If the tide is too big, it may completely clear the entire dam! By that time, the entire London will spread!

If the hole is small, it will not work, and he remembered the order given to him by General Hobert.

"We need a tide. We need to artificially construct a swamp in front of our position, making it difficult for the Germans to move forward!"

Only Hobert can come up with this method!

Artificial swamp!

When a tank uses crawlers to advance, its maneuverability is much higher than that of a wheeled tank, but tanks cannot be omnipotent.

When the German army was rushing towards Dunkirk, they encountered a swamp. As a result, they advanced slowly and almost made the British army run away.

This also gave Hobert the Twinkon, right next to the Thames. Can an artificial swamp be created to delay the advancement of German tanks?

However, this is definitely a technical job.

Hobert knew the risks, and Churchill also knew the risks. The hole was digging smaller and there was not enough water, just like the next rain. The ground was just wet at most, and the tanks could continue to drive over.

If the hole is digging, as soon as the tide comes, the entire river dam will completely collapse, and the entire London will definitely flood.
