Churchill's eldest son, Randolph, was seven years younger than John and was a novice in politics. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 It didn't take long for him to be caught up in John's afternoon tracks. He told John that in the afternoon Churchill and he were going to see the House of Lords, Baron Reddersdale of the Mitford family.

The Mitford family was also an old British aristocracy, with Baron Reddersdale and Churchill being cousins. Although many people have never heard of this baron, his six daughters, the famous Mitford sisters, are very famous in European and American history.

In the previous life, in September 2014, when the last of the six sisters, the 94-year-old Duchess of Devon, Deborah, died, major European and American media reported at length. The BBC even reported that the death of all six Mitford sisters marked "the end of an era".

John remembers watching the news at his home in Louisville. British Crown Prince Charles attended Deborah's funeral on behalf of the royal family, and in his eulogy, he repeatedly referred to the "irresistible charm" of the six Mitford sisters.

Out of curiosity, John looked up the information of the six Mitford sisters on the Internet. After reading it, he felt: Isn't this the British version of "The Three Song Sisters"!

The father of the six sisters, Baron Rhodesdale, was a haughty, stubborn, old-school English aristocrat who disliked foreigners, Catholics, and all other countries outside of England. The elder Baron Rhodesdale had six daughters and one son. The reason why so many children were born was mainly because of the primogeniture system practiced by the English aristocracy at that time. Before giving birth to a son, he can only continue to give birth, otherwise his title and family business will be cheaper than a bunch of distant relatives.

Nancy, the eldest of the six sisters, is a rebellious novelist who falls in love with a homosexual in her youth. Later, she moved to France and began to create literary and artistic creations. Of the six sisters, she had the highest artistic achievement. Her novel "Winter Love" was later adapted by the BBC into the famous TV series "Honor and Rebellion".

The second daughter, Pamela, was a natural traveller and adventurous, once rode around Europe on her own on a motorcycle, and was the first female passenger in the world to fly across the Atlantic.

The third daughter, Diana, was a fanatical fascist, and her husband was Sir Moseley, the leader of the British Fascist Alliance. Their wedding took place at the home of Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, and was attended by only six guests, including Hitler.

The fourth Unity, influenced by the third sister, worshiped Hitler madly. When she was 19 years old, she went to Germany alone to meet her "idol" Hitler. Later, the two maintained a close personal relationship for a long time, and Hitler called her "the sweetheart of England". After the Anglo-German declaration of war, she shot herself in a failed attempt to kill herself, leaving her disabled for life.

Later, the media broke the news that Uniti had given birth to an illegitimate child for Hitler. Churchill's niece gave birth to Hitler, and the news was really exciting.

Jessica's political views are the opposite of those of her two older sisters, she is a communist! Not only did she clamo to join the international column with her boyfriend during the Spanish Civil War, but she also immigrated to the United States to join the American Communist Party!

John was almost dizzy when he saw this, you are a British aristocratic and socialite who believes in Maoist communism and joined the Communist Party of the United States, why don't you go to the Soviet Union?

After all, the old Deborah is the most normal one. She married the Duke of Devonshire and became a duchess.

It is worth mentioning that Deborah's husband's younger brother, the Marquess of Hartington of England, later married Katherine Kennedy, the sister of US President John F. Kennedy. When later generations adapted Jane Austen's famous novel "Pride and Prejudice" into a movie, it was the couple that used the couple as a reference to portray the Darcy couple.

Like the three Song sisters, the six Mitford sisters have always had a good relationship with each other, although they have different political views.

Before they got married, the third Diana and the fifth Jessica shared a bedroom, with a sickle-hammer flag on one side and a headshot of Hitler on the other. But this did not affect the relationship between the two sisters. During World War II, Diana was imprisoned for supporting the Nazis, and Jessica has been very attentive to her children.

Churchill was recently being impeached by the party for his staunch opposition to appeasement. In this, there should be the shadow of Morris and other British fascist groups.

"Is it because of the vote of confidence?" John asked Randolph in a whisper.

"Moseley's gang has been in a lot of trouble lately, and yesterday he scolded his father in the newspaper for being a lackey of the Jews." At the mention of this cousin-in-law of the British fascist "leader", Randolph was angry.

Moseley had served as Lord Chancellor of the Duke of Lancaster. This position is the same as that of the Privy Councillor, the Keeper of the Seals, and the Minister of Ministers. He is mainly responsible for some traditional institutions, and sometimes he is entrusted with a special task by the Prime Minister.

Moseley was then appointed to be responsible for labour and employment, and was the de facto British Minister for Labour.

In 1932, Mosley went to Italy and met Mussolini. After that, he was completely attracted to fascism, and when he returned to China, he organized a group of right-wing cadres to found the British Union of Fascists.

He also followed Mussolini's lead and founded his own paramilitary organization, the Black Shirts. However, because the Black Shirts often clashed violently with Jewish communities and leftist organizations, the British people resented it. The fascist coalition did not gain any seats in the parliamentary elections.

So, John didn't think Moseley could cause much trouble to Churchill, he was at best a spoiler in the middle of the crowd.

"What did Baron Reddersdale say?" John then asked.

"He asked Cousin Diana to apologize to her father and asked her to remind her husband to maintain respect for his father." Randolph sighed, "But that's it. His father wanted him to speak publicly on the Nazi issue, but he did not agree. ”

John actually understands Baron Reddersdale, two daughters are fighting the Nazis, and one daughter is going to Spain to join communism. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, what should I do if I don't get along with the mud? It's not appropriate to openly support anyone.

Anyway, Churchill is still an elder no matter what he says, as long as he respects him face, he will not treat his juniors like him.

Historically, Churchill did not embarrass the Diana couple too much. Although during the war, according to the British defense regulations, Churchill sent his nieces and nephews-in-law to prison, but they were still treated very favorably. The Diana couple enjoyed special treatment in prison, with separate rooms and even a garden.

After being released from prison in 1943, Diana and her family were still alive and well. Moseley also participated in two parliamentary elections after the war, but they were unsuccessful, and the British hated him.

In 2002, Churchill was named "the greatest Englishman of all time" by the BBC, while Moseley was named "the most hated Englishman of the 20th century" by the BBC.

By the way, Marcos Moseley, the president of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), who was forced to resign in 2008 due to the scandal, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Diana.

"Your father has come over with so many winds and waves, and this little thing can't help him." John comforted Randolph and said.

"John, what do you think of the Nazis, do you think he will deal with the Soviets for us?" Churchill, who had been smoking a cigar silently, suddenly asked.

"Both the far left and the far right are a threat to the free world. Any of them would be brewing bitter wine," John replied categorically.

Let the German Nazis deal with the Soviet Union, John really admires the brains of those appeasementists. How do you let the big waves between the two countries deal with themselves? Or were you planning to sacrifice Poland in the first place? Judging from the "sit-down war" at the beginning of World War II, it is really possible.

"Yes, Hitler was not an obedient watchdog, and he couldn't be tied up if he let it go." Churchill was pleased with John's answer.

Everyone knew that Churchill was anti-Soviet. As soon as World War I ended, Churchill, who held both the posts of Minister of War and Minister of Air Force in his cabinet, advocated active intervention in the Russian Civil War. Later, it was he who delivered the "Iron Curtain Speech", which opened the prelude to the Cold War. Even when forced to cooperate with the Soviet Union during World War II, Churchill and Stalin were often at odds.

However, Churchill saw the Nazi ambitions very clearly, and he knew that there was some wishful thinking in trying to use Germany against the Soviet Union. Until the German-French rivalry decided the winner, Hitler would not have turned against Stalin. Moreover, if Germany is allowed to develop, no matter who wins or loses between it and the Soviet Union in the end, there will be nothing to do with Britain on the European continent. Britain's interests can be best protected by maintaining a balance of power in Europe.

Churchill certainly could not have imagined that the seemingly powerful France would be so easy to kneel. In the end, the British Empire exhausted its power, but it only cheapened the United States for nothing.
