Chapter 28: D-Day (11,900 votes)

The long procession of parliamentarians was escorted out one after another, and then boarded the trucks that had already been prepared, and Marshal Brooke and the others saw the company he had prepared, which had been restrained by the other members of Task Force 101 who had infiltrated in advance, and even their weapons had been confiscated.

"Rubbish!" Pound scolded angrily, and he didn't know if he was scolding this group of action team members or Marshal Brooke who arranged the operation.

When Admiral Potter walked past Churchill, he whispered while the others were not paying attention: "Winston, you are playing with fire and setting yourself on fire!" You've messed everything up! ”

Thinking that the other party would be ashamed, Churchill sank his face and scolded: "Childish! What do you know? The affairs of the British Empire are bad for you fellows who have not done enough to do more than they have to lose! ”

After Major Effler led the troops to escort everyone into the car, he whispered to Jonathan Churchill, codenamed "Spider" and who had never shown his head: "The first step has been successful, what should I do next?" Do you want to go straight to the airport? ”

Jonathan nodded: "Send the Prime Minister's family and some important personnel on the plane first, and then implement the rest according to the plan." ”

"So how do we get out? The British should be up and running by now. ”

"It doesn't matter, I have a way, follow my instructions." Jonathan led the convoy three times and two times, and deviated greatly from the "escape" route originally drawn by Marshal Brooke and others, until he encountered a sentry box.

"Here's my ID." Jonathan pulled out his MI5 credentials from his pocket - they were all real guys, and included the highest level of passes, "Now I'm on a special mission. ”

The other party repeatedly verified that the documents were correct, and finally asked, "There is a special password today, do you know?" ”

"Yes."

"Great Britain!"

"Dominion of Canada!"

"That's right, and I wish you a nice trip."

The convoy immediately left the guard box at a blistering speed, and the lieutenant on duty, though he felt something strange, seemed to be invulnerable, and he scratched his head, thinking that he had overthought it. After 2 minutes he couldn't laugh anymore, the rapid bell rang, and the call finally reached him, and after learning that the "coup" convoy had just left, Lieutenant General Mills Dempsey, the commander of the Second Army of the British Army in charge of counterinsurgency, put down the phone and said to Attlee: "Your Excellency, they did not follow the scheduled route, but left through other places, and one of the companies we were in charge of tracking was confiscated by them and imprisoned in the Parliament. ”

According to the original script arrangement, Attlee and Aiden and others did not attend the scene of the cabinet trust case interrogation, and on the periphery of the counterinsurgency, just now they received a signal from the meeting site, and originally started to carry out "counterinsurgency" according to the "script", but there was no follow-up signal for a long time, Dempsey sent someone to check the situation before he knew that it had finally evolved into this, and immediately anxiously called each bayonet to be responsible for interception, but he didn't expect the action to be slow, so that the convoy mixed out. Now it's a long night, where to find the convoy?

"Damn! Winston fooled us! ”

"What now?"

"They must have gone to His Majesty."

Dempsey immediately said: "Then I will immediately lead my troops to surround ......"

"No!" Attlee waved his hand and pondered for a moment, "If he is really there, don't alarm them and let Your Majesty go!" ”

Dempsey was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Churchill now had troops in his hands, and it would not be good if the royal family was accidentally injured in a firefight, so he immediately changed his words: "Okay." ”

"Send a telegram to the black cat, inviting him to return to China as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation." Attlee gradually calmed down from the initial panic, and he was scheduled to take over as the next prime minister, and he must have the ability to independently control the overall situation and properly handle emergencies, "I don't know what the hell Winston is doing, but he can't fight against us with his strength, the British Empire has 3 million troops, and the American army is only 100,000." Notify the garrisons around the U.S. military camp and ask them to surrender their weapons! But don't open fire, I can't let this turn into a civil war. ”

"Do you need to be imprisoned?"

"Not yet."

Aiden thought about it for a long time: "Do you want to send a message to Berlin?" ”

"Not yet." Attlee refused firmly.

Aiden immediately understood: Allowing Germany to intervene now will certainly bring in German forces, but it may also complicate the situation -- what will those officers and soldiers who were still fighting to the death with Germany not long ago think? Once they ask Berlin for help, it means that they will not be able to control the situation and will inevitably be looked down upon by the Germans in the future.

Attlee estimated well, after the success of the 101 special service team, the 2nd Division of the United States Army led the troops directly to Buckingham Palace, and then bumped into the trembling George VI family, although he himself was terrified, but he still pretended to be calm and comforted his two daughters.

Princess Elizabeth was 18 years old at this time, and as an adult, as the heir to the throne, she was able to see things calmly, and in 4 years, she made her first radio speech on behalf of the representative, addressing all the children in refuge, hoping that they would pay attention to their safety. She knew that there must have been a change in her father's sudden arrival of her and her sister Margaret from Balmoral, Scotland, where she had taken refuge, to London, but she never imagined that it would be such a scene - she was still planning to participate in the training of the field ambulance nurse class.

The guards at Buckingham Palace are not strong, how can a few royal guards withstand the heavily equipped US army? They tried their best to scold the American soldiers, but this did not work, and the Americans themselves felt quite embarrassed, so they simply came out of sight and out of mind, disarmed the guards, and stayed outside, and finally waited for Churchill to arrive at Buckingham Palace at about 9 o'clock in the evening.

Churchill stepped forward and said with a pun: "Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, let's go." ”

"Winston, has it really come to this?"

"Yes...... There is no return. Churchill smiled wryly, "The Dominion of Canada cannot live without you." ”

"What about the tens of millions of people in the country?"

"Them?" Churchill shrugged, "Soon they will have a new Majesty, a new Prime Minister, a new life...... Everyone thinks it's going to be better than it used to be, although I don't think so. ”

"Okay." George VI sighed, "I'll go with you." ”

"Father, I don't want to leave, this fat man is a villain!" Princess Margaret suddenly broke free from her sister's embrace, pointed at Churchill's nose and scolded, "Every time he comes to the palace, nothing good happens!" This time he wants to abduct you to Canada again, you can't be fooled. ”

was scolded by a princess who was younger than his granddaughter, Churchill was also quite helpless, but he couldn't argue anything: "Princess, I ......"

"Okay, okay, don't be willful, don't worry about the affairs of adults." George VI usually doted on this little daughter more, "You and your sister go and pack your things." ”

"Sister, can you say something...... Tell his father that they are lying to him. Margaret had tears on her face and asked Elizabeth for help.

"Mr. Prime Minister, is it good for the British Empire to do this?" Elizabeth asked in a mature voice that didn't match her age.

"Your Highness, I am all for this country and the glory of the royal family."

"Including Gray Slippery to Canada?"

"It's a necessary strategy."

"If a king leaves his country and his people behind, does he have a future?"

"There will be a day when I come back, if I can't come back, Your Majesty can't come back, you can come back!"

"Do you believe that?"

"I've always believed in it."

Seeing that the dignified Prime Minister was still arguing with his two daughters, George VI was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Winston, I know, I can't go with you." ”

"Did you bring everything?"

"Sort out a little bit of my personal belongings, and leave the rest to my brother, just as he left it to me......," said George VI, "to tell you the truth, if it weren't for the British Empire, I'd rather stay in London as a commoner, and I'm sure my brother won't embarrass me." ”

With tears in his eyes, Churchill said, "Your Majesty, I want to do the same, but we have no choice but to do so, because of the noble mission on our shoulders. ”

"Let's go......"

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Attlee received information that the royal family had been "hijacked" by the US military and headed for the airport. Someone asked if he wanted to intercept it, but Attlee vetoed it, and letting the royal family go to Canada was a planned play, and now it is generally going according to the script. Now that everyone can't understand it again, why did Churchill break the previous tacit understanding?

"No interception, no firing, Your Majesty can go wherever he wants."

"Now that all the parliamentarians are in Churchill's hands, what if he takes them with him?"

Attlee's face twitched: taking away all the parliamentarians was a troublesome matter, which meant that the local constitutional tradition was broken, which was undoubtedly the end of the sky for the British society, which regarded constitutionalism as life.

He squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Then don't act rashly, no parliamentarians are a big deal to re-elect and elect another batch." ”

"Another batch?"

One thought came to everyone, the world is crazy: when the time comes, there will be two kings, two prime ministers, and two parliaments in Great Britain?

"Prime Minister, the other troops have protected the nobles in the direction of the airport." Jonathan asked, "Are you going to the airport?" The first batch of planes took off at 2 a.m., a total of 24 aircraft; The second batch of planes took off at 5 a.m., a total of 36 aircraft; The third batch took off at 8 o'clock in the morning, a total of 12 planes, which was more dangerous and might be intercepted by the Germans. ”

"Wait, let's go to Liverpool."

Jonathan was shocked: "It's too dangerous, I'll just go." ”

"You can't just go, you can't suppress them." Churchill shook his head, "Take all the parliamentarians at the airport as hostages, prevent Attlee from leading troops to storm the airport, and kill a few demonstrators randomly if necessary, don't be soft-hearted, you can't do big things with a soft heart!" ”

The convoy split into two groups at night, one rushing towards the airport and the other turning towards Liverpool......
