Chapter 804: This is a usurpation

The steamer, which was more than 8,000 tons, slowly approached the port, and when the ship stopped, several Americans stepped off the ship.

"Friends from across the ocean are very welcome." Churchill walked up and extended his hand to the visitor in front of him.

U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander Omar, stretched out his hand to the other side: "Hopefully our arrival is not too late." ”

Along the way, they were anxious, and moreover, they were also afraid of retaliation from the Germans.

You know, in the ports outside the American mainland, they directed a play and detained a basin for the Germans, so will the Germans really let go of the restrictions and fire on the convoy in the Atlantic?

They used two destroyers to escort the escort, and these two destroyers, which were also intended to be handed over to the British, came all the way, frightened, and in order to catch up with the schedule, they had to sail at the highest speed.

Fortunately, the Germans did not attack them, the Germans did nothing, their ships were flying the American flag, and now, the Germans are still negative about actually going to war with the United States.

This is also the confidence of the United States, the United States brazenly supports Britain, but Germany does not dare to declare war on the United States, does not dare to move against American ships, the United States is waiting for this opportunity, if the Germans declare war on the United States, then the United States will definitely support Britain, there will definitely be more.

Britain's capitals have fallen, and if the United States does not provide greater support, will it watch Britain surrender? Watching Germany rule all of Europe?

In that case, the United States will definitely be in trouble.

"Let's take a look at the cargo first." Churchill said that by this time, he could not wait.

The bombing of the Germans made British industry difficult, and the support from across the ocean was quite important!

As the ship docked, the stevedores began to move the goods quickly, and the first thing to move out was a whole box of cans!

With the siege of the Germans, the food supply in Britain was gradually strained, and many people began to swallow when they saw the canned food.

Churchill was unmoved, he was more concerned about weapons than food, and if there were no weapons that he urgently needed, Britain would still not be able to carry it!

What about weapons? And what about tanks in particular?

As if knowing his expectations, in the stern of the cargo ship, the rumble of the engine was heard.

The riveted body, narrow tracks, tall body, a gun in front of it, and a rather small turret above the body, Churchill was disappointed when he saw this shaped tank in action.

"Didn't we provide you with drawings and ask you to build a heavy infantry tank according to our design?" Churchill asked.

The tank in front of me is the current main M3 Grant tank of the United States, this kind of tank, which has been backward almost from birth, and cannot compete with the main tank of the Germans at all.

The British faced a major threat, and their tank designs were rapidly improving, with the main one now being the A22 infantry tank, which was designed to weigh up to 40 tons and was comparable to the Germans.

In later generations, this tank was named the Churchill tank, and more than five thousand units were produced throughout World War II.

And now, although they have designed it, they cannot produce it, because the factory was bombed, for this reason, Churchill quickly provided all the design drawings to the United States, hoping that the United States will rely on their strong industrial production capacity to rush to produce them.

From the slow passage of the Lend-Lease Act by the US Congress, there were enough for their factories to produce such tanks, but, who would have thought that it would be such rags that came over?

Churchill was rather speechless.

"Our tank production department refused to produce British-designed tanks, believing that the tank's maneuverability was too poor and could not meet the requirements at all, especially the solution with two gasoline engines, which would lead to poor reliability, so we did not produce according to your drawings." Omar, who was in charge of the delivery, said: "This first batch is still the M3 tank we produce, but the next batch may be the updated M4 tank we designed, and the next batch of tanks will definitely be able to confront the main tanks of the Germans." ”

What's next? By the time the next batch arrives, how much area will be left in the UK? I'm afraid Liverpool has also fallen!

Churchillton was even worse.

But he can't complain, after all, this is provided by the United States, and if there is no United States, then Britain will not have to hope to hold on.

Churchill could only express his gratitude: "Thank you very much for your support, and I hope that our next batch of tanks can be sent over as soon as possible." ”

As soon as he said this, Churchill saw his adjutant, who was hurrying over, and he said to Churchill: "Prime Minister, His Majesty the King has urgently summoned you. ”

"I'm sorry, I need to go back." Churchill apologized to his American friends, then asked the officers around him to do a good job of receiving the equipment, and then hurried back to the city.

"Whoa! Bang! When he went back, he heard the sound of things being dropped in the room, and when he heard this sound, Churchill suddenly frowned, what was the matter?

Although His Majesty stuttered, although His Majesty did not actually want to be king, however, George VI has always faced it with firm faith, and at this critical juncture, George VI was not discouraged.

Now, this kind of behavior is not good, indicating that he has lost control of his emotions?

"What's going on?" He asked Lord Chewell, who had come to greet him.

"The Duke of Windsor, who has arrived in London, is at Buckingham Palace, sworn in to take over the position of king, is the supreme leader of the whole country, and at the same time, declares that the whole of Britain has put aside its resistance and surrendered to Germany."

When he heard this, Churchill felt the world spin in an instant, God, why do you test the people of Great Britain like this?

"Traitors, scum! How, can, compromise, and, bow down, how, can, surrender to, Germany, surrender! Because of his anger, George VI's words went even harder, and he jumped out almost word by word.

George VI was furious.

This throne, he didn't want it, it was his brother's abdication that he had to come up, but now, his brother, has snatched this throne again.

He doesn't agree, he definitely can't agree! The Germans bombed British cities and invaded British territory, and now, his brother, actually surrendered directly to the Germans!

"Duke of Windsor, this is usurping the throne, and we must not let him succeed." Churchill walked in and said loudly: "We are going to call a meeting at once to rebel against the Duke of Windsor!" ”
