Chapter 661: Won't Give In
Sure enough, such a voice appeared! Churchill's gaze looked down, and in the inconspicuous position sitting in the corner of the conference room, a parliamentarian from the Liberal Party challenged him!
Here, there is the British Parliament Building, which has a history of several hundred years, officially called "Westminster Hall", and it is a circular central hall through the majestic and solemn St. Stephen's Corridor.
To the right below the dome of the central hall is the House of Lords, also known as the House of Lords, with a spacious, bright and splendid hall and orderly House.
As a noble family with a history of hundreds of years, they are all personable and extremely polite when speaking.
If you look left from the central hall, it is a completely different world.
The dΓ©cor was sparse, with nothing but two rows of green seats facing each other and an old gray-black table in the middle.
At the same time, there are often bursts of laughter, scolding, heckling and debate, and from time to time there are many uncivilized words, which can easily make people feel like a street market.
This is the House of Commons of the British Parliament, also known as the House of Commons, but here is the center of British politics!
All kinds of decrees ultimately come from the House of Commons, and Churchill is also the one who wants to move the House of Commons.
In the historical records, Churchill was full of self-confidence, and infected many people with his self-confidence, and finally the House of Commons was unanimously voted to resolutely resist the war, and Churchill was also remembered by the world as a hero of Britain.
But at that time, the free world did not abandon Britain, at least Britain still had an expeditionary force, at least Britain still had a strong navy, at least Britain still had the United States, and Churchill had full confidence.
But what about now? The expeditionary force was lost, the navy became a coastal garrison, and the support of the United States was far away, and now, not only the mainland was facing the war of resistance, but even the overseas colonies were not guaranteed, especially the loss of Gibraltar by the Spaniards, which simply made the British extremely sad.
Obviously, if Britain continues to fight, the consequences will be very serious, and the defense of the mainland is still seriously insufficient, and now, seeing that the colonies in Africa and the Middle East are not guaranteed, where will Britain get enough troops to defend?
It is better to sign a peace agreement with Germany!
Hearing this, Churchill suddenly cried out loudly, this voice was somewhat sharp: "If anyone mentions the signing of a peace agreement again, then I really want to fuck his whole family!" We in England have been dragged down to this time by this so-called peace! β
"What is a peace agreement? This is a complete betrayal, a surrender! β
Churchill seems to have forgotten that it was here that when he proposed to hand over India to the Soviet Union, he was scolded by many as a traitor, and this word seems to be the most frequent word in recent times.
Churchill was born in the aristocracy, but now, he can't help but scold, and now, still thinking about surrendering?
What peace agreement? What peace agreement will Germany accept? Germany only accepted the surrender of the British!
If you compromise when you are strong, it can be called charity, but when you are weak, it can only be called humiliation, it is called surrender!
At the beginning, after the First World War, Britain had enough advantages to give alms step by step, and the result? Germany is strong, strong enough to deter all of Europe!
At the beginning, Churchill gave the Soviet Union India, you can scold him for betraying the country, but you must not scold him for surrendering, because he did not surrender, but now, this word, listening to everyone's ears, they can't stand it.
Although it is noisy here, they are, after all, a group of people who can represent British interests, and they are all British gentlemen.
For a gentleman, the face problem is above all else, especially since this is the face problem of the British Empire!
The French can surrender in humiliation, but the British, in absolute terms, must not surrender!
"What are we? We are an empire on which the sun never sets! Churchill continued: "In those days, we did not give in to the invincible Armada of the Spaniards! β
"In the face of Louis XIV, the Sun King in the sky, we did not give in!"
"In the face of Napoleon, the unbeatable number one European general, we did not give in!"
Churchill's words pushed the atmosphere of the meeting to a climax: "Why, then, do we have to give in to the Germans now?" What do we get? Is it half the country? Like France, or like Austria and so on, become their puppet? No! If that happens, we will be ashamed of our ancestors! β
Churchill's words infected everyone present, yes, why give in? Today's Britain still has a positive and indomitable spirit, as the British gentlemen of the empire on which the sun never sets, they have a strong sense of imperial honor and national self-confidence. They won't give in!
"Some people will ask: what is our policy? I would say that our policy is to wage war at sea, on land, and in the air, with all the power and all the strength that God can give us; It is our policy to wage war with a tyranny never seen in the evil and tragic history of human sin! β
Others ask: What is our purpose? I can reply in one word: victory, to strive for victory at all costs, no matter how terrible; No matter how far and difficult the road is, go for victory! β
"I am full of excitement and hope and take on my job. I am convinced that people will not let our cause fail! I have nothing else but blood, hard work, tears and sweat to contribute to you. β
Churchill's speech won the applause of almost everyone.
Peace talks? As a stubborn and arrogant Great Britain, why should it give in? Churchill would not agree, this war just gave him a stage to show, he believed, this is the opportunity God gave him, let him turn the tide!
Now, Britain does not look optimistic and asks the Soviet Union for help, as a result of which the Soviet Union has broken out a war with Finland, but, he believes, Britain must still have a chance!
As for the parliamentarian who just proposed peace talks with Germany, well, write it down yourself! At such a time, he dared to propose peace talks with the Germans, this person must have a problem!
Keep an eye on his actions at MI5, and maybe this man has dealings with the Germans!
He looked at the councillor again, and now, this person must not be able to escape his sight, even if he finds the slightest mistake, he can be disgraced from the parliament! As the war progresses, the power of MI5 has become bigger and bigger, and many characters are under their surveillance. 8)
