As soon as Captain Mills and Lieutenant Barker came to power, Mussolini noticed that they were wearing German ** clothes, and he didn't care at the time. Now after being reminded, I realized that something was wrong.

Why did the two young leaders of the uprising wear German uniforms instead of Italian uniforms? Mussolini immediately felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Captain Mills, as if not hearing the trap set in question, smiled and looked down at his new uniform, and then said: "On the fifteenth of October, General Rosen personally arrived in Cairo and invited me and my men to join the Waffen-SS in Germany. General Rosen's attitude was so enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that I could not refuse it, and all that was the Waffen-SS uniform I wear today. ”

Hearing Captain Mills' explanation, Mussolini's face looked a little better.

Great use, since the Germans want it, let them take it away.

"Captain Mills, I'm a correspondent for the French news agency Havas. Now that you and your men have joined the German ** team, will you go to war in the future? If you go to the battlefield, what will you do if you meet the British ** team? ”

The smile on Captain Mills' face faded, and he glanced blankly at the vicious French reporter.

"As a soldier, of course my men and I will go out on the battlefield to get the honor of being a soldier. Here, I would like to thank the benevolent and enlightened General Rosen, who allowed me and my men not to take part in the war against Britain. Are you satisfied with my answer? ”。

The French journalist shrugged his shoulders first. He nodded to Captain Mills again. Expressed satisfaction.

"Captain Mills, I am a correspondent for the German People's Observer newspaper, have you ever wondered what ulterior motives the British government is fighting this war? If you think about it, what are the results of your thinking? ”

Captain Mills had a sad look on his face again.

"Since Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill had provoked the war against Germany with ulterior motives, ordinary people would certainly not guess the riddle, and I was no exception.

I began to think about this question as early as September last year, when I first learned that the Chamberlain government had declared war on Germany.

From September last year to now, after more than a year of thinking. I have come to the conclusion that Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill certainly did not provoke this war for the sake of the justice they preached.

As we all know, the Soviets occupied almost half of the territory east of the Bug and San rivers in Poland. If the British government really went to war to protect Poland, why did they declare war only on Germany and not on the Soviet Union?

And even more strangely, we have all seen that since the British and French governments declared war on Germany under the banner of protecting Poland, they did not launch a single large-scale attack on Germany, but simply sat quietly behind the Maginot Line and watched Poland perish.

Since it is not for the justice they say, then it can only be for the sake of profit. But I don't see any benefit for Britain in this war.

Having lost the island of Malta and the Suez Canal, British merchant ships had to make a detour through the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to reach the colonies in the East. This distance is more than 10,000 nautical miles, and it takes three months to walk.

The supply of domestic goods in the UK will inevitably be adversely affected by the rising cost of transport. In fact, rationing had already been introduced in Britain, and the quality of life of the British people plummeted as a result of the war.

I really can't understand what ulterior motives Chamberlain and Mr. Churchill had to impose on the British people the scourge of war.

Finally, I would like to ask Mr. Churchill a question, if he could hear the words.

The blood of the Europeans is gone, and who will benefit? ”

The question asked by Captain Mills could be described as the word "heart", and everyone present, including Mussolini, could not help but fall into deep thought, except for Chen Dao.

The answer to the question is simple and straightforward, and it must be that the United States, the profiteer who made war money, has benefited the most.

Looking at Captain Mills with a sad face, Chen Dao sighed again and again, Captain Mills is really a manufacturable material, and he is really a good actor to say such a lengthy line with emotion and tears.

After the war is over, we must let Spelberg train him well, train him into a world-class superstar, and realize his dream of stardom.

Following Captain Mills, Lieutenant Buck also gave an impassioned speech.

Mussolini then ruthlessly reclaimed the role of the protagonist of the ceremonial stage and began to award the two young heroes.

After personally putting on the Military Courage Medal and the Military Merit Medal for the two of them, Mussolini gave them a few words of encouragement before announcing the start of the banquet

On October 18, the identities, experiences, and statements of Captain Mills and Lieutenant Buck were urgently reported back home by reporters from all over the world.

In one day, the truth that the defenders of Cairo surrendered without a fight crossed the mountains, crossed the plains, crossed the rushing rivers, lakes and seas, and quickly detonated in all countries of the world.

At two p.m. on October 18, the White House, the official residence of the President of the United States, Washington, D.C.

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt sat in his office, looking through the telegrams on his desk one by one, with a look of tears and laughter on his face.

Across from him, U.S. Secretary of State Hull had the same expression on his face as Roosevelt's.

"It turns out that the surrender of the defenders of Cairo was due to a mutiny, let me see that Captain Mills led his men to launch a mutiny and kidnap the commander-in-chief of the British army in Egypt, Lieutenant General Wilson, which led to the surrender of the defenders of Cairo without a fight.

It was a Shakespearean tragedy, and I think Mr. Churchill must have been in a terrible mood. Hull teased with a laugh.

"This mutiny is a huge scandal of all kinds, and the shock caused by the loss of the Suez Canal can definitely cause a strong earthquake in British politics. The earthquake was a test for Mr. Churchill, and whether he could retain his position as prime minister in this earthquake depended on Mr. Churchill's debating ability. Roosevelt shook his head and threw down the papers in his hand. Look up at the window.

"In the unlikely event that Mr. Churchill is unfortunate to step down because of this incident. Should we be prepared in advance to deal with the new British Prime Minister? Hull asked.

"If Mr. Churchill steps down. Who do you think will come to power? Roosevelt asked.

"It should be Deputy Prime Minister Clement. Mr. Attlee. Hull said without thinking.

"I thought it would be him, too. You have a point, we must be prepared in advance, and send someone to investigate Attlee's personal information and send it to me at once, I want to know his policy ideas. Also, immediately ask the embassy in Britain to investigate the recent situation of Mr. Churchill and report back to me once a day. Roosevelt said.

It wasn't until he heard the office door slam shut that Roosevelt turned around, picked out a page of the paperwork, and re-read it.

"The blood of the Europeans is gone. Who will benefit? A captain can ask such a question, and it seems that Europeans are not all as confused as Mr. Churchill. Roosevelt muttered to himself.

In the afternoon of the same day, the British capital London, the British Parliament building Westminster Palace.

At this time, the parliament building was as noisy as a vegetable market, and the councillors gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

Waldlow, chairman of the Conservative Finance Committee, stared solemnly at the door of the conference room, intently awaiting Churchill's appearance.

In the corridor leading to the conference room, Churchill, who had just returned to London from Canada, listened worriedly to his private secretary, Peck, saying: "The situation is not optimistic. Congressman Wardlow made a motion expressing distrust in the Cabinet's command of the war. ”

"I know. The fall of Egypt will definitely cause them to be dissatisfied with the government, and I will find a way to deal with it. ”

"The point is that the mutiny has come to light. It has caused a stir among the councillors and among the people, and Councillor Wardlow will definitely use this to attack you. Peck said hurriedly.

Hearing the word mutiny, Churchill's eyebrows immediately rose up.

"Go back and tell Aiden, prepare the information of those traitors, we must show no mercy to the traitors, and when the war is over in the future, I will let them know how terrible the end of treason is."

Moments later, Churchill strode into the conference room.

After a series of greetings and greetings, the meeting officially began.

After the two congressmen had asked two innocuous questions one after the other, it was finally Congressman Wardlow's turn to speak.

Wardlow stood up, his face full of confidence.

"Gentlemen, I would say that this motion of no confidence is not directed at the officers and soldiers who fought valiantly on the battlefield, but at the government as far away as London. As we all know, the British Empire has suffered a series of defeats and humiliations since the beginning of the war.

The expeditionary force in France was forced to surrender, the island of Malta was lost, the Mediterranean fleet was heavily damaged, Alexandria fell into the hands of the enemy, and the Suez Canal fell into the hands of the Germans and Italians.

Until October 14, when the humiliation of the enemy against us reached its peak, they captured the Egyptian capital Cairo without encountering any resistance.

Why is this happening? Because there was a mutiny among the defenders in Cairo, the rebels kidnapped their commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Wilson.

Ironically, Captain Mills, who commanded the mutiny, was a hero who risked his life to lead his men out of the Mesha Matru encirclement before arriving in Cairo. I even heard that the British command in Cairo had applied for a medal for his feat, and it had been less than a week since he went from being a hero in Port Matru in Mesa to being the commander-in-chief of the rebels in Cairo.

What's going on? Why would a hero become a traitor in less than a week?

The answer lies in our Mr. Prime Minister.

Mr. Churchill, tell us that the main forces of the British army in Egypt have been heavily damaged in the battles of Mesa Matrouh and El Alamein, and that the forces near Cairo are simply unable to hold back the enemy's attack. Why did you give General Wilson an order against military common sense to defend Cairo?

The leader of the rebels, Captain Mills, staged a mutiny because he could not bear to let the front-line soldiers die in vain, in order to reduce the needless casualties of the British youth on the front.

The scandals of the mutiny were all caused by your careless command, and you must give a reasonable explanation to the parliamentarians, to the army, and to the people. ”

As he spoke, Wardlow glanced at the other councillors out of the corner of his eye, seeing that their eyes were focused on him. I can't help but rejoice in my heart. Gao raised his chin and stared at Churchill. Waiting for Churchill's answer.

Churchill stared at Wardlow without flinching.

"I am very strange about the words of Councillor Wardlow, such an unprecedented scandal as a mutiny at the front, you are very sad, I am very sad, every British citizen with a conscience will be very sad.

There was a mutiny at the front, and you didn't accuse those shameful traitors, but you came to question me, I can't understand your logic.

You asked me why I gave the order to Lieutenant General Wilson. The reason why he wanted to defend Cairo was simple: at the latest, on October 20, that is, the day after tomorrow, reinforcements would arrive in Cairo.

As long as Lieutenant General Wilson can hold out until 20 October, he will be able to wait for reinforcements to keep Cairo, the last stronghold, and Cairo, the starting point of the counter-attack on Egypt.

But the shameful rebels disrupted my whole plan. Having lost the stronghold of Cairo, the enemy would cross the Suez Canal and enter the Middle East without any worries. In fact, they're already doing it.

Because the Suez Canal has been cut off, the logistical supply of our troops stationed in Palestine is in an unprecedented predicament. It had to retreat to Iraq via Jordan.

Rommel's German African Army could occupy Palestine and Jordan, even Iraq and Iran, and even India could be threatened if Hitler's ambitions were even greater.

Why is all this happening? All because of those shameful rebels, those traitors who should be hanged.

But in Congressman Wardlow's complaint, I did not hear him attack the traitors, but he thought the traitors, especially Captain Mills, were a tragic hero, and I could not accept his logic.

I solemnly remind the Wardlow Councillors that you would like to correct your position, whether you are on the side of the rebels or on the side of the British Empire.

That is my answer to the question of the rebellion, and I hope that you gentlemen will be satisfied, thank you. ”

The parliamentarians listened to Churchill's explanation, and the chamber was once again turned into a wet market, until Waldlow spoke again.

"The rebels deserve to be hanged or shot, but Mr. Prime Minister, blaming them for a series of failures in Egypt and the Middle East is irresponsible.

The main reason for our defeat was on the London side, and by no means in Egypt or elsewhere. The first major mistake we made in this war was to have the Prime Minister also be the Minister of Defence.

We must have a strong full-time person to chair the Chiefs of Staff.

I ask a man of courage and not being held back by any party to appoint army generals, navy generals, and so on.

I asked for a strong man in charge of the three branches of the royal army, strong enough to demand the production of all the weapons necessary for victory, and who dared to make the generals of the army, navy and air force work according to their own plans without undue interference from their superiors.

Above all, I hope that this person should resign immediately if he finds himself incapable of his position.

We have suffered a string of failures both because of the Prime Minister's lack of careful scrutiny of domestic affairs and because of the lack of professional directives from the Secretary of State or other officials in charge of the military.

We are all well aware that the series of disasters of the past few months have been the result of major shortcomings in our wartime cabinet"

Waldlow gushed about Churchill and threatened to kill Churchill.

Wardlow's accusations, though sharp, were pertinent, and many lawmakers nodded their heads in response.

Churchill saw the reaction of the parliamentarians, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.

As Churchill struggled to figure out how to deal with Waldlow's accusations, Peck, his secretary, who had been waiting outside the room, suddenly walked into the conference room and handed him a telegram.

Churchill read the telegram with a frown and loudly interrupted Waldlow's speech.

"MI6 has just sent an urgent telegram that Yugoslavia is preparing to join the Axis bloc, and I must convene a military meeting to discuss the response, and we will debate it another day."

For good reason, the Speaker of the House of Commons agreed to Churchill's request, and a motion of no confidence in Churchill came to an abrupt end.

Although he escaped a catastrophe, Churchill did not have a trace of excitement in his heart, he knew very well, today was just a fluke, and next time it would definitely not be so easy to get through the difficulties.

Churchill's suffering was built on the happiness of others, especially Captain Mills.

On the morning of October 20, Berlin, the capital of Germany.

With mixed emotions such as excitement, joy, and nervousness, Captain Mills led his subordinates to follow Chen Dao into the Prime Minister's Office (to be continued......
