521 chaos has been revealed
Mr. Prime Minister fainted, and the news spread all at once. I didn't even have the idea of keeping it a secret, so I was told by everyone.
There are no secrets left in Britain today. The morale of the military at the top is weak, and it is even more straightforward than that of the grassroots level.
The repeated picketing and the so-called sorting out of the shadow troops have put the British top brass in a situation where everything must be reversed, and even some basic secrets are no longer observed.
Everyone seems to have realized that in a world without secrets, keeping secrets is the easiest thing to do.
"Did you hear about it, the Prime Minister fainted!" A secretary whispered to his close friend.
And next to her, an officer in military uniform was also discussing this issue with another officer: "I heard that Prime Minister Churchill's health is not very good, who do you think is the unlucky guy who will replace him?" ”
Originally, the British Prime Minister was definitely a commanding heights that everyone fought for, and as the most powerful person in the UK, this position was coveted by many people.
It's a pity that now, this unfortunate position has become a hot potato, and no one wants to take it over at all.
The Germans were just a few dozen kilometers away, and London had become a front-line city. Whoever becomes the prime minister in this case will become the last prime minister in British history.
Whether or not it was a mess from the hands of this damn fellow, Churchill, history will always remember the last man, the man who led Britain to despair and humiliation.
"It's not me anyway, not even anyone else." The other officer replied with a smile, and then saw Viscount Goth walk in.
"Stand upright!" He hastened to salute and remind his companion not to talk nonsense, and his companion turned back and saw Viscount Goth, and quickly stood upright.
In fact, Viscount Gort, who was outside the door, had already heard the conversation between them. Unfortunately, he could only pretend not to hear, and then waved his hand into his office.
The London Army's offensive was halted, and the counterattack cost Viscount Goth a lot of his troops, and he lost confidence in the subsequent attack.
Now most of the German armored forces are near the famous attraction of Stonehenge, and they are attacking in the direction of Bath, with a very clear goal, that is, to capture Bristol.
If Bristol were lost, Germany would be able to control Cornwall. By then, the Germans had completely gained a foothold in Britain, and the follow-up became tricky.
At the meeting just now, officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already spoken out about the seriousness of the problem. Both Scotland and Ireland will make a move to come.
The troubles created in these places will not be less than those directly created by the German army. Once Britain is divided, then the term Britain ceases to exist.
"Isn't it a joke that the 2nd Army is acting like a fool in Reading and entrusts the defense of Cornwall to the 4th Army, which is not capable of fighting at all?" Viscount Goth looked at the map on the table and grumbled in a low voice.
He was flanked by the more elite British 2nd Army, but this army was too close to his own London Army.
This created a problem, as the Germans extended to the flanks, while the 2nd Army was trying to get closer to London.
The result was the movement of the 2nd Army, which completely exposed the Cornish peninsula to German attack.
Remembering the picture of Churchill fainting just now, Viscount Gott suddenly felt that no one could save England this time.
Viscount Gott's side was worried about the war situation, and Churchill was leaning back on the bed, and slowly opened his eyes under the eager eyes of the doctors and other officials.
He was dizzy just now, and all of a sudden his eyes went dark and he didn't remember anything. Now that he opened his eyes, he knew immediately that he seemed to have fainted.
The supplies transported by the United States will not reach the British mainland in a short time, and the already stretched material reserves are now even worse.
Britain, which was severely short of supplies, had fallen into complete despair at this moment. Once parts of the region behind you fall into chaos, then the victory or defeat of the front line is self-evident.
"I just haven't had much time off lately, so don't mind." After waking up, knowing that his mouth was still under the control of his brain, the first thing Churchill said was to explain his coma and calm the restless heart.
The German army was just a few tens of kilometers away, and if the chancellor had physical health problems at this time, it could directly lead to defeat at the front.
After reassuring the people, Churchill grabbed the arm of the home affairs official and arranged: "The American supplies are intercepted by the Germans, and you must do everything you can to appease the hearts and minds of people in Liverpool and other areas......
"I understand! I understand......" The official felt the strength coming from his arm, and knew that the order given by the prime minister at this time must be very important.
"Be as appeased as possible, and if necessary, immediately and violently suppressed! Can't let the civilians make a fuss! Churchill organized the language and continued to speak to the officer.
At this moment, Churchill really needs to rest, he has barely slept since a few days ago, and he has to deal with a mountain of official business.
Even if it's an iron man, he can't stand it now. The German attack changed three times a day, and there was really not much he could do.
If it weren't for the lack of sea transport capacity, the Germans would have been able to transfer a large number of air forces to the British mainland now, and they would have been able to immediately increase the attack efficiency by several times.
In addition, as long as a few more armored divisions were sent ashore and more infantry, the British defense line would collapse in an instant.
The current British army, heavy weapons and equipment, and the combat effectiveness of the troops are inferior to those of the German army. The way they were able to stop the German advance was to resist and consume the ammunition ration of the German army that day.
Unfortunately, this method became more and more difficult to use, because the capacity of the German army increased as the loss of ships decreased, and new ships were constantly added.
Yesterday, dozens more German ships joined the ranks of transporting supplies to Britain. These ships were all drawn from the mainland by Germany, and although they were old steamers, they were still usable.
There are already quite a few new ships, and ships heading south from the Netherlands and other regions will not encounter any obstacles along the coastline of the European continent along the way.
"Let the 5th Army, which is stationed in Ipsvich and other areas, go south...... We must find a way to stop the Germans from continuing to expand the occupied zone! Eventually, Churchill decided to reinforce Bristol with a more reliable force.
After all, it's so important that you can't give it up. The UK is now in a very fragile phase, and if there are more major variables, things will be out of control.
"Find a way to let the 2nd Army strike back to the west first and threaten the German flank! Can't let them get any closer to Bristol! As he spoke, Churchill looked at Sir Dill who was standing not far away.
Deere had just learned that U.S. aid was not arriving on time, and he was now reluctant to complain about all kinds of problems at sea.
The battle on land left him anxious, and the counterattacking troops suffered heavy casualties, and the garrison troops collapsed at the slightest touch.
Once upon a time, Britain's invincible phalanx of red-clad muskets turned into the current desperate appearance.
"I'm going to order the 2nd Army to advance westward, I don't know if it's still too late." Dill looked at Churchill on the hospital bed and whispered promise.
"That's it! Everybody! Mr. Prime Minister needs a break! Now that everyone has seen him wake up, let's all go out! The doctor got impatient at this time and shouted loudly to drive everyone away.
So everyone hurriedly said goodbye and walked out of the room where the prime minister was resting. Since the prime minister is fine for the time being, he should at least maintain his due composure for now.
A little farther away from the door, the official of the diplomatic department looked at the official of the interior and asked, "Are you sure about the pacification of the civilians in the north?" ”
The internal affairs official shook his head: "The shortage of food, as well as the workers and their families who have moved north, have long been very dissatisfied, how can they be appeased at this time?" ”
Hearing this answer, the official of the diplomatic department shook his head and looked at Sir Dill who had just walked over: "Then it will be up to the army to hold the line." ”
"What are you kidding, let the 2nd Army stay on the defensive line, I am still a little sure, and now let the 2nd Army take the initiative to attack, I am not sure at all!" Sir Dill said similarly, shaking his head.
Hearing Sir Dill say this, the eyes of the officials in the diplomatic department widened: "Didn't you just tell the Prime Minister that the 2nd Army could advance west?" ”
"If I don't say that, how else can I say that? Tell him, who has already fainted once, that the 2nd Army is simply not capable of advancing? Sir Dill was a very bachelor, and asked rhetorically.
"That'...... If you tell you the truth, what are the chances of winning if the 2nd Army is allowed to advance westward? The Home Office officer looked at Sir Dill and asked with some weakness.
Sir Dill glanced at the other party, then replied with a sneer: "Have you heard that we have troops that can hold off the Germans for two hours in a field state?" ”
Hearing the other party ask, everyone knew that this counterattack was no fun again. They sighed to each other, and then dispersed without saying a word.
Sir Dill looked at the bag he was carrying, shook his head, and walked in the direction of the gate.
And at about the same time, the air defense siren sounded again, reminding everyone in the most direct and effective way that London's air defense warning had completely collapsed.
