Of course, Gort didn't just care about being a good old man.

The reason why he sent Montgomery away was to keep a star seed for the British Empire overseas.

He sent the Free France to the Isle of Man so that after the British government moved to Ireland in the future, he could use the French army in De Gaulle's hands as sentinels to resist.

His transfer of the British royal family is to preserve a big man with appeal and can stabilize the hearts of the British people. As long as the royal family remains, even if the government moves to the island of Ireland, the hope of the British people for restoration will not disappear, and the resistance will continue.

All of this Gott does is for the future of Britain. It's just that unlike Churchill's way of acting, Gort didn't offend anyone in the process of completing his vision, and he sold a lot of favors.

Montgomery didn't say anything, he went to Egypt in North Africa, and even if Wavell's Tomahawk operation failed, Montgomery, who stayed in Egypt, would not be wrong at all. It's really not good, Montgomery can still retreat to the Middle East, or even to India, there is always a way.

On the Isle of Man, de Gaulle brought with him a complete set of government functions, bringing with him 5,000 French troops, and also received 10 tanks and 30 artillery pieces as a kind gift from Gott.

In de Gaulle's view, this was already a windfall. Not to mention the artillery, his Free French army recruited in England, cannons and shells are all based on the eyes of the British, and how much depends on how much the other party gives.

As for the tank, de Gaulle had never thought of it before.

However, in order to strengthen the coastal defense capability of de Gaulle's army, Goth only considered it from a military point of view, and also sent a lot of equipment and ammunition to de Gaulle's army. With these cannons and tanks, although it is not foolproof, it is impossible for the Germans to take the Isle of Man without great effort.

No way, Gort didn't want to give expensive tanks and artillery to outsiders as gifts.

However, the generals under him, including himself, counted one by one, and all of them were defeated generals who had been "taught to be man" by the German army.

To tell the truth, Gott was happy to be able to escape from Dunkirk for many days. At that time, he was ready to enter the German prisoner of war camp.

In this case, Wavell and his generals even used an inappropriate analogy when they encountered the German army, and even when the other armies of the Allies except the German army came, Gort and they did not dare to think about anything like a counterattack victory. In addition to holding their positions, the second thing they thought about was how to retreat.

The English Channel is gone, and if they want to defend and retreat, they can only run to the island of Ireland.

For this great evacuation, Gort has put too much effort into it.

He even dug up the failed "Generator Plan", hoping to use what could be used in it to reorganize a major retreat to the island of Ireland.

A retreat of this magnitude, of course, could not be carried out slowly and methodically.

The Germans had already reached London, and there was really not much time left for Gort.

"If you really can't do it, let's try to surrender to the Allies." After thinking about it again, Goth could only think of this method that was not a solution.

Of course, he was not talking to himself, and Gort, who had just been proclaimed Duke by Edward VI, was actually discussing his plan with Hamilton, who was also a duke, at this moment.

In the original historical time and space, it was the Duke of Hamilton who was the object of conversation and contact with the German deputy head of state Hess to promote peace between Britain and Germany.

But no matter how Hamilton fooled Hess in the original time and space, anyway, the peace negotiations he proposed this time were fundamentally a complete conspiracy.

And the object of his deception was changed from Hess, who did not want to conquer Britain but wanted to achieve an armistice, stop this unnecessary bloodshed, and suggested that Germany and Britain discuss a feasible peace plan together, to Reinhardt, who was determined to eat Britain from the beginning.

Yes, the historical Hess was ostensibly a follower of Hitler, clamoring all day long to expand the territory of survival, not afraid of any war. But from the inside, Hess, a contradictory person, actually still has hope for justice.

However, Reinhardt, who is "we want to bring justice to the world" all day long, is completely different. Because, Reinhardt himself was not an idealist, and he never believed in bullshit justice.

There are only interests between countries, in Reinhardt's own words: "Iron-clad interests, flowing camps." ”

Therefore, the chances of success in the Duke of Hamilton's life are simply insignificant.

"What conditions do you want me to offer the Germans? How long do you want me to use the peace talks to drag on? The Duke of Hamilton did not refuse Gort's offer, but consulted quite seriously.

Seeing that the other party did not refute, Goth also told his thoughts one by one: "What are the conditions...... You can give in appropriately, after all, we really don't have much capital to negotiate now. To test the Germans' intentions a little, if the conditions they offer are not so excessive, it is not impossible to really ask us to surrender. ”

Under Hamilton's round eyes, Goth said helplessly: "It all depends on how the German Führer makes the offer." Even if his asking price is too high, as long as we leave a way for the British Empire to survive, we can consider surrendering. If surrender solves the problem, there is no need for us to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of young men before agreeing to the other side's demands. ”

"In short, try to lower our posture as much as possible and try to see if we can have a better result." Gort almost covered his face and uttered these capitulation remarks that were inconsistent with his responsibilities as commander-in-chief. Even a year ago, he would have been hanged if he said that!

However, now there is no one in Britain who has the ability to announce the hanging of Gort.

The reason why Gort covered his face was because he was really too guilty and ashamed in his heart. As the commander-in-chief, he could only think of such a solution.

"Well, what if the German Führer doesn't promise us a bottom line?" Hamilton considered the worst-case scenario.

"Then we can only simply drag out time," Goth put down his hands covering his face after hearing this, revealing a determined look: "We retreat to the island of Ireland, and the French will stay on the Isle of Man and continue to confront them!" ”

However, Gort's firm expression only lasted less than three seconds before withering: "In that case, we will also have more capital to sue for peace and strive for a better surrender condition." ”
