Hamilton now understands that Reinhardt has no intention of having a good talk with him.

"Yuan Xiansheng, have you considered the consequences of doing this?" All he can do now is to remind the other party that a dead fish may not be a good outcome for Germany.

"You could have chosen to get a lot of benefits from the UK that you haven't gotten yet, without spending any more costs." Hamilton tried to convince Reinhardt's inducement: "But now, you want to choose to sacrifice countless more soldiers, cause more casualties, and turn the future occupation into ruins." ”

"You have a choice between the benefits of peace talks and the continuation of war." Hamilton tried to lure Reinhardt into making peace as much as he could.

After all, if Germany continues to fight, it will have to bear more wars, which is not a good thing for Germany, which is already at war with the Soviet Union.

"Then I've got you covered." Reinhardt laughed, and in Hamilton's gaze like a madman, he said word by word: "Since peace talks can bring so many benefits, will the benefits soon be more after winning the war?" ”

He raised his right hand, stretched out his index and middle fingers, made a classic gesture like Churchill did in history, and said with a sunny smile: "I want to take all the benefits, but also destroy your regime." This time, you will definitely not be able to escape the fate of the country! ”

…………

Twin Rivers Fort, Scotland.

Hidden beneath a farm is a 24,000-square-foot secret Scottish bunker. A large meeting held in secret from the militant Churchillists and the Voter Morseleys.

The bunker was built in 1938 as part of the Royal Air Force's secret operations command and coastal radar for the defense of the Luftwaffe.

The bunker can accommodate 300 people to work and live, is fully furnished, and even has a chapel.

This is a secret bunker built during the reign of Chamberlain. Although Churchill also knew about the existence of the bunker after he came to power, almost all of the bunkers in the Shuanghe Fort were Chamberlain's cronies who had been deployed.

Yes, this group in Scotland is no stranger. It was the appeasement led by former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain!

By the time the Battle of London had progressed, the British had realized that they were certain to be defeated, so they had long thought about who they should choose to surrender and would be better treated.

Eventually, some thought of the former prime minister with whom Reinhardt had a fairly good relationship, the abdicated Mr. Chamberlain.

Ironically, Chamberlain was also under great pressure from the militant faction and felt that he was going to do it, and maybe one day he would be assassinated on the road, so he voluntarily gave way to Churchill in 1940 and was forced to step down, making the belligerent Churchill the new British Prime Minister.

As a result, now seeing that the war is unfavorable, a group of people have rediscovered the "Mr. Love Berlin" Chamberlain, who was scolded back then, hoping that the former prime minister, who stepped down because he was used by Reinhardt, would use his feelings to be used by Reinhardt to play the bitter card to seek peace.

How ironic!

The old prime minister, who ousted himself, was invited back again. This is no longer a simple slap in the face, this is a bang!

It's a pity that these people only think of Chamberlain now.

What's even more regrettable is that Gort, who presided over the work in London, has not remembered the old man Chamberlain until now.

Few people know that Chamberlain in a sense had abilities and levels that Churchill could not match.

He and Churchill were two completely different people, two different types of leaders.

Compared with the belligerent Churchill, Chamberlain actually wanted peace. But I didn't get to the point. He fought in the First World War, saw the economic crisis caused by the war and the misery of the people in various countries, and decided not to let the world go to war again. Subsequently, he ran as a representative of the conservative wing. During this time, he actively gave speeches all over the United Kingdom, promoting positive phrases such as "one vote for him, one more peace", and inciting the public to vote for him. Soon, he was in first place in the number of votes. Soon, he ascended to the throne of prime minister. Under his leadership, Britain began to rebuild, changing the customs inherited from the First World War, and Britain's dream of becoming a colonial hegemon and maritime supremacy would even be re-realized.

But the dream is based on a hypothesis – if there is no Reinhardt!

In fact, while Chamberlain pursued a policy of appeasement, he did not relax his vigilance for a moment and secretly prepared for war.

He was under pressure from two sides, with Churchill criticising him for not prioritizing increased defence spending, while the Labour Party called him a warmonger.

Eventually, after the 1935 election, he proposed a national defense contribution tax to subsidize the military industry, which drew fierce criticism from all sides. Although criticized, Chamberlain's other economic policies were effective, and he adopted a policy known as "rationalization", in which the government bought obsolete factories and mines, closed them down, and made new factories ready to be established in the economic depression of the time. As a result of this policy, by 1938 Britain had factories equipped with the latest technology in the world and capable of producing the latest weapons.

It can be said that many of the favorable conditions that Churchill later used were pioneered for him by Chamberlain. Churchill, nothing more than standing on the shoulders of the giant Chamberlain, nothing more.

During Chamberlain's reign, Ireland wanted full independence as a republic, and a new constitution was enacted, recognizing only the Emperor as the supreme head of state and managing its own external affairs, while the rest was completely independent. Chamberlain, taking into account the situation in Europe at the time, hoped that Ireland would not join the hostile side of Britain in the event of war, so he made many concessions.

In particular, Chamberlain and the first president of Ireland, de Valera, also maintained a good personal relationship. In the agreement reached between the two men at the time, Ireland recovered the three British-controlled ports, but paid the British £10 million. The deal drew some opposition from within Britain, especially from Churchill, but the Conservative majority did not support him, and later comments suggested that the deal paved the way for Ireland to support Britain during the war.

If it weren't for Chamberlain's efforts, Gott's current strategy of moving the capital to the island of Ireland and uniting Ireland would not have been carried out!

Moreover, after Chamberlain came to power, Britain's military spending soared from 7% of GDP in 1938 to 18% in 1939. Although this is still lower than Reinhardt's 23% in Germany, it is still difficult for the United Kingdom, which has just emerged from recession.

But who would have thought that just a few years ago, the British Air Force was weakened by a lack of funding and could not compete with the rising Third Reich.

And if who is the hero behind the "rebuilding of the Royal Air Force" in the mid-to-late 30s of the last century, the former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who has been denounced by later generations as "aiding and abetting", may be the hero who should really be respected.

The traditional view is that Chamberlain's policy of appeasement is a manifestation of softness, but it ignores Chamberlain's actions, his true intentions, and the historical background in which he lived.

In order to raise and increase military spending, Chamberlain submitted a bill to parliament to impose a defense tax on excess profits from the military-industrial giants who had made a fortune from rearmament, but almost none of the more than 600 parliamentarians supported him. At the same time, Chamberlain launched a 400 million pound defense bond issuance project, which also failed to get a response from the capital community.

It can be said that in order to strengthen the country's war preparedness, Chamberlain exhausted all the methods he could think of and used within the system.

This is the real reason why Britain has been able to hold on to this day!

At the instigation of Churchill and his henchmen, many accused Chamberlain of being cowardly and cowardly, and only knew that the policy of appeasement indulged Germany.

But no one can point out what would have been the difference if Britain had not pursued appeasement at the time.

At that time, France was reluctant to go to war, Italy joined the Axis powers, the United States remained isolationist, and Britain had practically no allies among the major powers of the time. Chamberlain used this time to speed up Britain's rearmament program, improve the radar defense system and update the air force, all of which played a huge key role in Churchill's later war.

Most annoyingly, Churchill also wasted Chamberlain's countless efforts, and was pushed all the way to London by the Allies.

To be sure, if Chamberlain had been allowed to lead Britain to fight, the results would not have been worse than Churchill's.

At least in strategic vision, Chamberlain was ten times stronger than Churchill!
