524 two roads

"Germans...... Yes, it was premeditated, premeditated! They...... They're forcing me to die! Pinching the telegram from Berlin, Germany, King George VI of England vented in annoyance.

He sat in his chair and looked at Churchill, who was pale and recovering from a serious illness, as well as Sir Deere, the chief of staff of the army, and Charles, the commander of the navy.

As for the commander of the Air Force, Dowding had almost no planes left in his hands, and now the British sky was already under the control of German pilots.

Now they can only sit in the basement for meetings, because German bombers visit London almost once a day.

As the King of England, as His Majesty the King of the Empire on which the sun never sets, George VI sarcastically did not see the sun for three days.

For him, the British sun is already a memory in his mind, which has to be said to be a ruthless trampling on the dignity of the world hegemon.

Once excited, George VI's original stuttering will become irrepressible. He had been speaking badly, but now it was even more obvious.

"Sue, tell...... Tell the Duke of Hamilton that he has an honor if, if he is still a man...... Sense, the nobles, just, should take, take back, get back a decent, decent peace! George VI gave vent and looked at Churchill on the side.

At such times, it was the British who put on their faces and begged the Germans for a treaty. Whoever goes to talk to Hitler will probably only be able to bring back such a treaty that borders on humiliation.

Therefore, after hearing His Majesty's angry roar, everyone wisely chose to keep their mouths shut and not dwell on the issue of the treaty.

"First ...... The Prime Minister, Germany, the Germans are unwilling, unwilling to negotiate peace, I, our army, can, can we hold out, hold out for a few months? He asked the question with anticipation, hoping for an affirmative answer.

Hearing His Majesty's question about himself, Churchill's already haggard face twisted, and he replied: "Your Majesty, if we put up desperate resistance in London, we can continue to hold out for at least a month." ”

"If London had been reduced to rubble, and the South had been included, maybe we would have been able to hold out a little longer." Sir Dill spoke, and said what he wanted to say.

The British resistance, and the French surrender, were in stark contrast at this time. Paris is now fine, unravaged by any war; London, however, was in ruins, half of which was in ruins.

If the fighting continues in London, the street fighting will ruin everything that remains, and even if Britain turns defeat into victory, what will be left?

Reduced London to ruins and turned the north of England into a war zone. Ireland will certainly take advantage of the opportunity to become independent, and Scotland's position cannot be guaranteed.

Is it really necessary to fight the thousand-year-old foundation of England to the point where nothing is left, and replace it with a so-called victory?

Even Churchill, the most hard-line resistant, was thinking about this question at this time: what is it to fight and see victory at the end of the ruins?

"If the Germans continue their offensive, it is possible to occupy Bristol. London's flanks will be threatened...... "Seeing that Churchill did not continue to speak, Sir Dill could only bite the bullet and continue."

What he said did calm down His Majesty King George VI of England, who was furious.

George VI is now thinking about the same question, if London is reduced to ruins, and more than half of the British people will be killed in the battle, even if they win, what will be left?

Compared to these problems, it seems that sending Germany two battleships and then signing a humiliating treaty is not an unacceptable option.

The Americans also want a lot of things, including Britain's massive overseas military bases, including Britain's gold reserves.

Since the war has been fought so far, many British, including many high-ranking British people, are reflecting. They fought this war, and who was to blame.

Anger is often transferable, and it is easy to transfer to the United States when it is impossible to vent it on its most immediate enemy, Germany.

"Who raised the tiger and trampled on the Treaty of Versailles and made the Germans rise again?" This is a question on the minds of many people.

So, in comparison, compromising with the Americans and surrendering to the Germans are actually no different options in the eyes of some British.

"Now it seems that the choice of the French may still have some truth." The Foreign Secretary glanced at Churchill, who was speechless and seemed exhausted, and persuaded the King.

"We can bet on both sides and let the Americans and the Germans split the winner." He has long been tired of such a passive war, which should have ended long ago in the opinion of any qualified diplomat.

War is nothing but a continuation of politics, the most radical solution to the problem of politics. Therefore, war is definitely not an end, but only a process and a means.

Before the war, diplomats were needed, and after the war, diplomats were needed. In the event of victory, diplomats will squeeze out the last bit of profit; And in the event of a loss, diplomats are equally able to prevent even greater losses.

It was because Churchill was too tough and blocked communication between Britain and Germany in a foolish way that caused this defeat.

If Britain had decisively withdrawn from the war when France was defeated, Germany would have been fighting with the Soviet Union at this moment, and would not have made waves in Britain at all.

The whole thing, in the eyes of the foreign secretary, is a vicious circle that has led to the loss of diplomatic flexibility and the blind insistence on a war that is already at a disadvantage.

If one is to blame, Duke Hamilton, who is a child's play with diplomatic credibility, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who is sitting next to him, must be responsible for this fiasco.

"Your Majesty, you can choose some people to stay and maintain order in the homeland." Therefore, the Foreign Secretary decided to kick Churchill out of the cabinet and find a better home: "And Prime Minister Churchill can take His Majesty the King into exile in the United States......"

Hearing this proposal, Churchill, who had not reacted at all, raised his round head.

To go to the United States to establish a government-in-exile? To do the same thing as de Gaulle? Lead some marginal colonies, rally some blacks and Arabs......

Thinking of this, Churchill felt that his end was near. However, he could not dismiss this suggestion, because once the treaty was signed, he would be in a very disadvantageous position.

As a prime minister who resists to the end and is unwilling to negotiate peace, he will definitely take the blame and step down. And the loss of power and identity was no different from death for Churchill.

The Germans would demand him and try him as a war criminal and hang him. Even if he doesn't come openly, with the acquiescence of the British government, he can arrange for a killer to kill him to vent his hatred.

Rather than being an obscure old man in England, it seemed a better choice to go to the United States to continue to lead some of Britain's colonies and resist the brutal aggression of Germany.

And, if you go now, you are still ordered to leave. With a two-sided bet mission, existing as an alternative path to save Britain is certainly more appealing than staying.

I have to say that Churchill was tempted, if he could take His Majesty the King away, then he could continue to fight Germany in the United States, and even raise the banner of justice.

It was a pity that he knew that His Majesty would not agree to this idea just by thinking about it.

Discarding his own people and going to a foreign country to be a government in exile is definitely not a good choice for the King of England.

Although the royal families of many countries choose to flee, that is on the premise that they have effectively lost their country.

Britain is not a dead country, but only a treaty that humiliates the country. If the king leaves his homeland and goes into exile at this time, it will not be right to say that his name is not right.

After all, the treaty itself is signed by the king and the prime minister, and the prime minister can be dismissed, but the king cannot be replaced by one at will.

After you sign and admit defeat, then run away from home with people to continue to resist? It doesn't matter who wins in the end, the credibility and face of the royal family have been lost anyway.

Therefore, the king of England will not leave, and George VI really rejected his proposal to leave: "As a king, I, I can't, can't abandon me, my people ......"

George VI said it soundingly, but Churchill knew that if he chose to leave, he would have to go alone.

"Well, then, I can leave. I can go to the United States and contribute to the future of the empire. "Whether it is his proposition or his identity, the candidate to go to the United States to establish a resistance volunteer army is none other than Churchill.

"Then let's decide so for the time being, and the rest is the question of how to give our warships to the Germans." Charles finally spoke.

He hasn't spoken, in fact, the Navy is in this state now, and there is really nothing to say.

The defeat by the inferior German partisan fleet directly led to the passivity of the British mainland. The responsibility of the navy in the war is inexhibitible, but the direct cause of this situation cannot be blamed on the navy.

In this war, the heroic performance of the Navy is obvious to all, and the fleet will attack every time, but again and again it will return empty-handed.

"I, as an admiral, would personally escort the battleship to the Germans...... Then, if I had the chance, I would have sunk with the battleship HMS George V. "Charles gave his choice, he was not willing to choose to leave like Churchill, he chose death.

Looking at Sir Diere, who wanted to persuade him, Charles waved his hand and insisted: "Someone has to prove that the British still have blood, don't they?" Let me prove it, after all, you can't leave the Navy in the dust. ”
