London, the capital of the United Kingdom, has become depressed. On the streets, trenches and fortifications were being dug everywhere. The citizens of London were also mobilized to help the army build fortifications. Of course, the citizens who participated could get a little food that could only make ends meet. But this has already made the hungry citizens ecstatic.

As the capital of the British Empire, London would inevitably be attacked if the Germans landed on the British mainland. The fortifications were built from now on to turn London into a fortress. Of course, that's an exaggeration. But the new prime minister, Winston Churchill, undoubtedly hoped to make the Germans bleed in London.

Downing Street, Prime Minister's House, Conference Room. Winston Churchill is having a meeting with a group of ministers.

"Gentlemen, the whole of Britain has been mobilized. Almost all of our recruiting points were crowded with boys. I am glad to have the support of so many people at a time when the British Empire is facing an existential crisis. I believe that with the unity of all, we will be able to defeat the Germans. Churchill smiled.

The other cabinet ministers also had smiles on their faces. Although, the current situation is still very difficult. However, the people's will to fight is high, which gives them some glimmer of hope.

With such a huge disparity in strength, these British ministers knew that it was impossible to defeat Germany. Now what they are trying to fight for is to resist the German attack. And with the advantage of home combat, inflict as much damage as possible on the Germans. In this case, it may be possible to stop the Germans from attacking and thus end the war at a relatively small cost.

"Your Excellency, the strength of the army has been expanded to three million. The remaining million places are estimated to be used up soon. If I could, I would like to be able to add another million! Once the army is expanded to five million, we will be more sure to hold on to the British mainland! "Secretary of War Richard? Haldan's face smiled.

"No problem! At this juncture, of course, the more our army, the better! Churchill said.

Although, if the army is expanded to 5 million, almost all the young and middle-aged people of the appropriate age will be swept into the army. However, Churchill simply did not care. All he cared about was to resist the German attack, which was the most important thing.

"With so many troops mobilized, do we have so many weapons and equipment to arm them? You can't let them go into battle with their bare hands, right? "Foreign Secretary Edward? Sir Grey frowned.

The UK is now in lockdown and almost all factories have been shut down. Even those arsenals are getting lower and lower because of the lack of raw materials. If you don't have enough weapons and equipment, what can you do to arm those soldiers!

"It is true that we are now seriously short of weapons and equipment. Only two million people can be guaranteed to be armed. The rest of the three million people can't even get together a rifle. However, we must not let this cool the people's patriotic enthusiasm. Weapons and equipment, we will try to find a way to solve it. "Richard? Haldan said.

Edward? Sir Grey had no choice but to keep silent. In a situation like this, Churchill and Richard, who were in charge of the army? The status of the two haldans in the cabinet has risen to the top. Others simply nodded in agreement.

"Is there any information about the Germans?" Churchill asked.

Although, Britain was preparing for war as much as possible, hoping to withstand the Germans. However, the strength of the German army made Churchill always feel uncertain.

"The number of the German troops near Calais has as many as three corps, namely the 1st, 2nd and 3rd corps of the German Army. However, the Kaiser's enemy attack on the 8th Army Corps did not appear. But we think that the German 8th Army will definitely be involved in the offensive as well. Therefore, we judge that the troops sent by the Germans to the British mainland should be only these four corps, totaling about one million men. "Richard? Haldan said.

"A million people? If the Germans don't increase their troops, will we be able to withstand their attack? Churchill asked.

If the Germans had sent only a million men, this would have given Churchill a glimmer of hope.

"If we try our best, we should be able to fend them off. However, if the Germans continue to increase their troops, then we will have a great struggle. However, according to another news, the Germans have dispatched four corps to encircle and suppress local partisans and other resistance forces in Eastern Europe. In this case, the Germans should not have any more troops to devote to the attack on the British mainland. As long as we can withstand the attack of the Germans, a million men, our goal will be achieved. "Richard? Haldan said.

"Great!" Churchill said.

In his opinion, it should not be difficult to resist the attack of a million German troops. After all, they have an army of five million.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I suggest that we prepare a way out. If the Germans had sent more troops to attack the British mainland, it would have been difficult for us to resist. "Edward? Sir Grey said.

The smile on Churchill's face dissipated, he frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, Edward?" Sir Grey, you went to Canada secretly. If that is not possible, we will withdraw to Canada. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, Americans may not welcome us to Canada. "Edward? Sir Grey said.

Churchill nodded, taking the position of the Americans, who of course would not be willing to withdraw the British to Canada. In that case, there is a high chance that the war will spread to the Americas. If the Germans attack Canada and the British are unable to resist it, it is highly likely that the Germans will gain a foothold in the Americas. When the time comes, it will be a great threat for the Americans.

In addition, the Americans are the kings and hegemons of the Americas, and they do not want to have a strong neighbor by their side, which will pose a great threat to them. Therefore, the Americans should do their best to prevent the British from retreating to Canada. If necessary, those Americans will even use force.

"Find a way to talk to the Americans! Big deal, give them a little more. Tell them that we're just living in Canada temporarily. When we defeat the Germans, we will leave! Churchill said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister." Edward? Sir Gray nodded.
