Chapter 402: Churchill's Speech (Part II)

"At the beginning of Operation Generator, we estimated that we could only rush 3,000 people." Churchill waved his arms and shouted to the packed crowd of MPs: "It can be said that we have now completed our task, and we have exceeded the original task!" ”

Qiu Fatzi can say this, which is enough to prove that his face is not much thinner than Reinhardt. The large-scale withdrawal of almost the entire home fleet, involving the main force of the Royal Air Force, and the fate of the 200,000 expeditionary force, is it just to withdraw the strength of a reinforced regiment?!

4,000 people were transported, and it was said that the original plan was to transport only 3,000 people. Is that to bring back 3,000 people, and that the original plan was to bring back only 2,000 people?

Not to mention whether it is reasonable to evacuate 3,000 troops just for the sake of such a large-scale operation, even if all the staff officers who formulated the "generator operation" are in the water, and they do their best to rush 4,000 logistics officers and men back to China, the actual price paid for this operation is completely unacceptable.

"When the Prime Minister approved the plan, I remember he didn't say that now." A tall, emaciated member of parliament who was sitting in his seat leaned over and talked to another member sitting next to him: "At that time, he said that he wanted to save as much combat manpower as possible and reserve enough defense forces for the homeland. As a result, only a few non-combatants were now brought back, and they immediately changed their tunes. ”

"Erik, you guy, stop talking." The councillor sitting next to the tall councillor stopped him and said, "Listen carefully, and we'll talk about what we have to say." ”

It can be seen that the two are very familiar with each other, so they will talk to each other at this awkward time.

"Okay, okay, I'm just sighing." Eric shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Although I know that Mr. Prime Minister's words are morale-boosting, I just feel a little self-defeating and uncomfortable. ”

Looking at his old friend, the other councillor paused, then lowered his voice and said softly in a breathy voice: "I feel this way too." ”

Maybe the fat people are relieved after all, or because there is a lot of meat, the skin will become thicker accordingly. Qiu Fatzi didn't pay attention to the whispers of the councillors below at the moment, but continued to speak loudly on his own: "Someone told me that Mr. Reinhardt has a plan to invade the British Isles. Without the armies of the expeditionary force, what can we do with them? ”

Churchill's words struck a chord among parliamentarians. It is no secret that the Expeditionary Force is all the elite drawn from the British mainland. Having lost the 200,000 elites of the Home Defense Army, many people have a feeling of uncertainty about the possible future landing of the German army.

But Churchill, who considered himself a good orator, was there to solve problems, and to be inspiring. He made a classic comparison of the German landings: "I would say that in the past, there were often people who had calculated this. The last man to do so was Napoleon Bonapart! But after he had been stationed in Rone for a year with his punt and army, his plan was completely frustrated. ”

Worthy of Churchill, he used Napoleon's past failures to inspire the hearts of British parliamentarians at this moment, and the best effect was achieved in an instant.

Napoleon led the French army of that era to defeat the European anti-French coalition several times its size five times, directly or indirectly, and almost ruled most of the entire Europe.

Even in Germany, which is now rampant, its predecessors, Prussia and Austria, did not obediently submit to Napoleon's feet.

But this conqueror of the European continent, who even Germany could not defeat, finally lost the Battle of Trafalgar in a British duel. Napoleon, who has always been good at winning more with less, was alone in front of the British star Nelson, losing more than less.

You know, even so, Napoleon broke the Austro-Russian coalition in the 6th week after the defeat and achieved a brilliant victory. However, victory to victory, Napoleon never dared to move the idea of landing on British soil again.

"We currently have a lot more strength in England than we did at any time in the last war. The fact that we now have a Royal Air Force that is strong enough to be stronger than ever before must be advantageous in defending against a possible German invasion of our homeland. ”

Churchill, who was good at magnifying his own advantages, continued to play the only good card he could play with the Royal Air Force.

Not only that, but he was motivated by his ambitions: "But we cannot be satisfied with fighting a defensive war, because we still have obligations to our allies." We must reorganize, under the command of the valiant commander-in-chief, Lord Gott, to relaunch the British Expeditionary Force and fight back to the European continent! ”

Planning for a grand future when a country has just failed, drawing a picture of a beautiful picture, and leading people to fight for it sounds a bit like what Reinhardt did 20 years ago.

In fact, Churchill is now copying the methods used by Reinhardt to lead Germany out of a desperate situation based on his research on the German FΓΌhrer Reinhardt.

Moreover, Churchill had a higher starting point than Reinhardt had originally started, and his words were more effective.

"It's all going on," Churchill clenched his fists, clenching his fists, "but in the meantime we must bring our home defense to such a high level of organization." Of course, we are now in the process of deploying that. ”

Lord Goth can be said to have had such good luck that it exploded.

Apparently he was suspended and transferred back to China to be tried, but his successor, Alexander, surrendered directly, and Lord Gott, who did not surrender, actually looked a little heroic, and was decided by Churchill to reuse.

In fact, if Lord Gott had been placed in the circumstances of Lieutenant General Alexander's time, he would probably have to surrender as well. The reason why he didn't surrender was because he hadn't gotten that far.

It would not have been possible to deal with Guderian's 19th Panzer Corps with a rout. Even if Guderian and Lord Gott were to be put in another position, he would not have been able to command the British Expeditionary Force to win a battle that was already one-sided.

In the end, however, Churchill famously said: "We will not waver or be discouraged, even if the vast lands of Europe and many ancient and famous countries have fallen or may fall into the clutches of all kinds of evil organs, such as the secret police." ”

"We will fight to the end! We will fight in France, we will fight at sea and in the oceans, we will fight in the air with greater confidence and stronger and stronger force; We will defend our island at any cost! ”

"We will fight on the beach; We will fight at the enemy's landing site; We will fight in the fields and in the streets; We will fight in the mountains! We will never surrender, and even if this island or a large part of it is conquered and starved, our Imperial subjects abroad will continue to fight under the armed protection of the British fleet until the New World, in all its strength and power, is as God thinks fit, to save and liberate this old world! ”

To the end, Churchill made his attitude clear and clear. He wants to make the British Empire and the Third Reich go head-to-head, either I die or you die!
