Chapter 608: The Prime Minister's Tragedy

The leader of an empire has finally ushered in his sad song.

He had a good chance, at least he could have fought for a decent ending for himself and the motherland.

It's a pity that everything he did after coming to power was almost just a demon, fanatically clamoring for war. He always believed that his heroic and powerful army could defeat all opponents and do a hundred times better than the arrogant imperial Yankees!

As early as the moment Chamberlain stepped down, the situation was already doomed to develop in the current direction.

That's right, Churchill, the prime minister of the British Empire, is also coming to an end.

The Soviets' offensive was not as effective as he had imagined.

On the contrary, as if they had already guessed that the Soviets would attack, the Germans made strict arrangements and accurately implemented the defense plan.

Even the German SS troops, who had retreated before, seemed to be really a strategic turnaround, not a retreat, as the German newspapers advertised. Looking at their current posture, it seems that there is a bigger counterattack plan about to be implemented!

And the German army on the British Isles kept counterattacking and intensified the offensive like crazy.

In the exact opposite direction of Churchill's expectations, the Germans, while they were indeed prepared to move eastward from the war against Britain, they were taking a more radical approach, freeing up their hands by defeating Britain outright!

"This was not supposed to be our war, the Germans and Poland had a territorial dispute, a feud against France. However, we can simply mediate and stay out of it, as the Americans did. ”

Because of excessive disappointment, coupled with the extreme decay and decadence of the front-line war, a man in a suit who was Churchill's confidant actually forgot his identity and complained in front of Churchill.

You must know that after the Battle of Dunkirk, Reinhardt more than once showed goodwill to Britain internationally, ostensibly throwing an olive branch in front of the whole world.

In the eyes of many people, it was Churchill's insistence on opposing peace talks with Reinhardt that led to today's tragedy.

Although Churchill did the right thing, although Churchill clearly recognized that Reinhardt's so-called peace negotiations were not necessarily sincere. But he couldn't convince everyone to do that.

And now, even if everyone wants to believe it, it's too late.

After glaring at the confidant, and after scaring the other person into shutting up, Churchill unexpectedly did not continue to hold the man responsible.

In other words, he no longer has the energy to pursue a subordinate's quarrel.

Not to mention the henchman, even Churchill himself is now wondering if he has missed too many opportunities.

Indeed, after the defeat at Dunkirk, Britain had lost the possibility of victory. And with the Germans landing on British soil, their chances of even defending themselves were very slim.

However, God finally forgave the British at this moment, took out an opportunity, and laid it before their eyes. The sudden attack of the Soviet troops on the Eastern Front was no secret, because the Soviets had no intention of concealing their intentions at all!

At that time, it was even very likely that Britain could show goodwill to Germany, which was caught in a two-front war, and sign an armistice that would be satisfactory to both sides.

After all, the Germans suffered losses on two fronts in the last world war, and they had unforgettable pain. Once the British came up with the policy of the Chamberlain affair to jointly resist the Red Soviet Union, the Germans would also be very likely to be willing to cease fire on the Western Front.

Although the British army did not hold the beach, after all, it was able to rely on the advantage of geographical familiarity and the convenience of local operations to support the defense for a period of time. No matter how good the Germans were, they would consider the gains and losses.

On the other side, the British themselves understood that if they continued to fight, they would definitely lose. Therefore, even if this armistice agreement is not so equal, it is at least a hundred times better than the agreement signed after the defeat.

But at that time, Churchill was again vehemently opposed.

He saw the Soviet offensive as a turning point that would determine the outcome of the war. Moreover, he made arrogant speeches and mobilized, declaring that he would never surrender.

He also vowed to drag the entire British Empire, fighting with the Third Reich on the beaches, at the landing sites, in the fields and in the streets, and even in the mountains to the end - even if the British island or a large part of this island is conquered and starved!

But now it seems that even Churchill's cronies were not willing to fight with him in starvation. In fact, few people wanted to.

Even Churchill himself, who swore to shout this slogan, ate three meals a day as usual.

"There's a little truth to what you're saying." Once again, Churchill was astonishing, slightly agreeing with the cronie's remarks.

"To-morrow I will go to the king and tell him what is going on." After a few seconds of silence, Churchill said coldly: "The next decision cannot be made by me alone. Your Majesty, it's time to speak out. ”

Churchill then continued viciously: "As the king of the British Empire, it is his duty to lead the people to resist until the last moment!" ”

Hiss~

The prime minister's henchmen present couldn't help but gasp.

Listening to Churchill's words, they almost thought that the prime minister was preparing to turn back and negotiate an armistice with the Germans.

As a result, Qiu Fatzi just felt that he might as well take responsibility alone than pull the king to bear it together.

Where does this fat man plan to turn back, he simply wants to go all the way to the dark!

........

Southern England, the headquarters of the German, French, and Norwegian forces.

As the leader of the German paratroopers, Student was discussing the next course of action with the commander of the French army, General Weygand, and the commander of the 5th Norwegian Division, Sundlow.

It is said that the three countries discussed together, but in fact, the Norwegian officers are just playing soy sauce, and the real decision is made by Wei Gang and Stepnt, the two generals who hold the main lion.

"I heard that your German army landing in Portsmouth has been going smoothly all the way, and the next strategic target has been placed in London."

In the headquarters, Weygand preached to Spudent through an interpreter.

"That's right." Bootent nodded to Wei Gang in confirmation.

"So......" Stepent smiled and continued with some meaning, "our army can also set the next strategic goal of occupying London. ”

"Oh?" When Wei Gang heard this, he couldn't hide his joy and excitement.

You know, if the French army can also be a member of the capital of the British Empire, it will undoubtedly be a great honor.

"However, we are sandwiched between London and a strategic point where British troops are stationed on a large scale." Wei Gang looked at the large-scale map by the wall.

"Greenwich?" Student's gaze also moved to the map, nodded lightly, and waved his hand as a matter of course: "That's ours." ”
