De Gaulle soon applied for a meeting with Churchill.

Churchill was too busy to meet De Gaulle, who was bent on persuading him to move out of London.

After his request for an audience was denied, de Gaulle was quite nimble in finding the good old man of London, Lord Gott.

"Commander Goth, please help me."

As soon as they met, de Gaulle, with the help of an interpreter, expressed his request to Gort.

He had heard that some time ago, Gort had used his position to help a general named Montgomery escape to North Africa.

De Gaulle still knew a lot about the situation of the British army in North Africa.

Wavell stopped the Italian and German armies in succession, and in the middle of the process, he also collected the French garrison in Algeria. Garibaldi, Beronte, Rommel, these famous generals from all over the world, did not even take Wavell's troops.

To be sent to North Africa, to Montgomery under Wavell, was a stroke of luck in the eyes of de Gaulle.

De Gaulle also heard that Montgomery had just arrived in North Africa and had taken over the command of three Egyptian divisions and part of the Australian army, and his good fortune was bursting.

From the hellish mainland of England to the paradisiacal British-controlled territory of North Africa, and immediately with a reinforced army to command.

De Gaulle could not think of a second emotion for Montgomery's situation except envy.

And after the envy, de Gaulle thought of the key man who brought Montgomery this good fortune - the good old man, Lord Gott.

Lord Gott, who commanded the entire army of the British mainland, undoubtedly had great power and favors. Montgomery was able to be sent to Africa in large part because the generals at all levels were selling face to Lord Goth.

In de Gaulle's opinion, whether he can go away or not, in the end, depends on whether he can get the help of Lord Gott.

"What do you need me to do?" Lord Gott received de Gaulle, who had come all the way to find him, with kindness.

After all, the other party is also the leader of a country, although it is a leader of a country that is only recognized by the British government, but after all, it is still a leader.

The leader who led Free France came to him personally, and Gott had no reason to refuse.

"Help me persuade Prime Minister Churchill to leave London, you and we should both change positions of resistance." De Gaulle preached with a firm look in his eyes.

"Leaving our capital?!" Goth was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after a few seconds and sighed, "Where can we go when we leave here?" ”

"To Northern Ireland, or to Canada!" De Gaulle was waiting for this topic, and he quickly seized the opportunity to interject: "It is easier to use the Channel for defense than for the defense of these buildings in London." I believe that Commander Goth himself understands that it will be difficult for your army to defeat the Confederate army in a land battle. ”

"Take advantage of the Irish Sea, or the Atlantic Ocean? That's a good military suggestion. Lord Goth nodded faintly, and said with his hand on his chin.

As a more pure soldier, he knew better than de Gaulle the convenience of the transfer of defensive positions.

Moreover, Lord Gott's interest was aroused even more after de Gaulle immediately recounted the idea of transporting part of the National Guard and the Army for military training in six counties of Northern Ireland, and at the same time recruiting and reorganizing the local army of Northern Ireland.

"In this way, we can really re-prepare more than 150,000 reserve troops." Lord Gott nodded thoughtfully after listening to all of de Gaulle's advice.

Hearing Goth say this, de Gaulle was immediately overjoyed.

However, Lord Gott's next words immediately discouraged de Gaulle.

"But the Prime Minister probably won't agree to the government's withdrawal from London, and he has been getting more and more insane lately, and even always clamoring for the destruction of London with ......"

Gott said in frustration: "Prime Minister Churchill's recent directives have become more and more inexplicable and intolerable. ”

"He ordered the rebuilding of the troops lost in Dunkirk, but we were left without weapons and personnel...... The pressure on the Prime Minister's side was so great that my colleagues and I had to lie to the Prime Minister that these non-existent units had indeed been formed and had gone into battle. ”

Churchill will naturally not lead to a counterattack with these non-existent troops, and the troops on the front line will collapse more quickly if they are not supported. The collapsed troops did not dare to report to Churchill, so these units were always there, and the next time Churchill took them out to support other British troops.

"Now the Prime Minister thinks that we have assembled nine divisions of the Reconstructed Army Infantry Division on the banks of the Thames, under the command of Lieutenant General Smith. But in reality, Lieutenant General Smith only has about 20,000 National Guard troops who lack military training, and he does not have any counterattack force at all......"

Lord Gott's words are already clear, Churchill, who is still alive in his dreams, is now dreaming of a major counterattack by Lieutenant General Smith commanding 9 reserve divisions, and he will not be willing to flee to Northern Ireland at all.

After all, this is the blame of Lord Gott, who told them to lie to Churchill that the troops have been formed.

But it can't be deceived or not, Churchill, who values the number of troops, forced Goth to find a way to rebuild, but he couldn't come up with the corresponding weapons and equipment. Except to trick Churchill into dreaming, Gott couldn't think of any other way to conjure up these nine infantry divisions.

"What then?" De Gaulle said in a cold sweat when he realized that Churchill, who was living in a dream, was no longer at the same level of seriousness as himself, a bystander.

"If you can't do it, I'll find the navy to transport you to the Isle of Man for deployment." Lord Gott, who caused this consequence, was a little embarrassed and said to de Gaulle: "Leader de Gaulle, you can take 5,000 soldiers and a few civilian personnel first, and leave 2,000 soldiers on the banks of the Thames." ”

"I understand, thank you." De Gaulle, of course, also knew that in such a situation it would be impossible for him to take everyone with him. Leave a group of men to stay where they are, so that Gort can use them to continue to deceive Churchill as if all the troops of Free France were there.

Gott's ability to do this was already very touching to de Gaulle.

The Isle of Man is an island in the sea between England and Ireland, and to be more geographically precise, the Isle of Man is located at the heart of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Although the area is small, only 572 square kilometers. However, the Isle of Man is also known as one of the British Isles, together with the British Island and the Island of Ireland, with a population of 80,000 and a complete system of government operations.

As long as it was transported there, de Gaulle's Free France would have another period of peace away from the battlefield.

There is only one thing that de Gaulle can fight for now.

As for what to do in the future, it depends on whether Churchill is willing to move to Northern Ireland or Canada.
