French Navy!

So far, the French Navy has almost no essential losses, and, in the claim, the French Army ranks first in Europe, and the French Navy is also ranked in the top four in Europe.

Now, the British Navy is crippled, and they have long been eyeing those ships of the French Navy, if the French Navy can be absorbed, the strength of the British Navy will be restored at once!

Now, the outlook for France is very unoptimistic, and if it is pessimistic, it is even a matter of time before France surrenders, and at such a time, Britain is even more impatient.

So, like that, the British ambassador came over and asked the French prime minister.

When Churchill came to Paris, he discussed it with Renault, and Renault at that time was full of promises.

Now, hearing the words of the British ambassador, Renault thought briefly and said: "There is no problem, when we move to the new capital, give the order." ”

The British ambassador could only watch Prime Minister Reynaud pack up his things and leave, and originally, he wanted to say, can the order be given now? However, he still did not say that although Britain was in a hurry about this kind of thing, it could not rush the French government excessively, otherwise, it would backfire, and wait until the relocation to Bordeaux would come to Renault.

Now, send a telegram to London!

London, United Kingdom.

In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Office, there was a strong smell of cigars, and Churchill was smoking them one by one.

He looked at the others and pressed the cigar in his hand into the ashtray: "As the prime minister, I have this power, and now, we must sacrifice the interests of India in exchange for the Soviets to send troops." ”

Now, the situation on the European continent is not optimistic at all, the surrender of France is just around the corner, and, moreover, Ciric has already said that after fighting France, the Germans will land across the sea and attack Britain!

Originally, Britain was not very afraid of the threat of Germany's cross-sea landing, you know, no matter how strong the German army is, it can't fly, and the English Channel is a moat.

However, when the Germans landed across the sea from a long distance and suddenly went ashore in western France, the British were surprised to find that the Germans really had this ability, and they unknowingly had an incomparably powerful navy, a century-old navy! How did the Germans manage to do it in just a few years?

It's incredible!

It is conceivable that the war that Britain is about to face is terrible and cruel.

For Britain, the only chance is the Soviet Union, if the Soviet Union can join in, it will be quite advantageous for Britain, the Soviet Union provokes a war in the east, and the Germans will have to deal with the threat from the east, then Britain will have a chance to buffer.

The UK needs time.

After the First World War, Britain did not want to fight, Britain simply abandoned its own martial arts, and invested less and less in national defense, so that almost all the ships of the navy were the foundation of the First World War.

And now, finally, Britain has switched to war mode, and all its resources, all are pooled in the service of national defense, however, they will take time.

The Germans, in less than half a month, conquered France, and if the Germans were allowed to step onto British soil, it is conceivable that Britain would soon perish.

"We have to get the Soviet Union in, at this time, only the Soviet Union can give us time, if we delay a year, we can reorganize a powerful expeditionary force, if we are given two years, our navy will be able to return to a war with the Germans, if we are given four years, we Britain will be stronger than at any time in history!"

Time, the UK needs time! Without time, Britain could not have any hope of victory in this war.

The Soviet Union, on its part, has already set the condition that it wants India.

The British colonization of India initially began with the East India Company, which did business in India, and gradually the East India Company became a tool for the British colonists to invade India.

There have been many twists and turns, especially. The uprising in India in 1857 was a major adjustment by the British government.

Britain abolished the East India Company and the Secretary of State for Indian Affairs took over all its powers; and the formation of the Government of India headed by the Viceroy of India. In this way, India entered an era of direct rule by the British government.

For the UK, India is quite important,

India has a vast territory, rich resources, a large population, and fertile land in the Ganges River Basin, which can be said to be an important source of cheap raw materials for the United Kingdom, as well as an important dumping ground for British products.

In the invasion of China, almost all of the y** sold to China by British merchants was produced in India, which was an important means of primitive capital accumulation in the early stage of British capitalist development.

At the same time, India's geographical strategic location is very important, guarding the main communication route from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and is the forward position of the British invasion of Southeast Asia.

Now, the surrender of the Indian colonies to the Soviet Union by mere verbal promises of troops will not be supported at all!

In the past few days, the pot has exploded in Congress, and some lawmakers have even openly declared that Churchill is a traitor, even more hateful than Chamberlain, who sold France to Germany, and Churchill sold Britain to the Soviet Union!

After all, Western Europe is still capitalist, and the Soviet Union is different from their ideology, which is even more unacceptable, since the establishment of the Soviet Union, Britain has always been hostile, but now, to befriend the Soviet Union, and even lose India to the Soviet Union?

How can this be!

If, in normal times, Churchill's proposal would have caused him to lose popular support and step down, but now in times of war, under the Emergency Act, Churchill could bypass Parliament if necessary.

Now, Churchill just wants to use his special power to make decisions directly, but at least, the senior members of the government have to support him.

Now, Britain is even more pitiful than in history, France has failed, Britain is about to usher in a war, and the most frustrating thing is that the United States has stayed out of the matter until now, and is not willing to get involved at all.

Therefore, Churchill can only find other foreign aid, and if India is used in exchange for the Soviet Union's troops, it is also worth it!

Churchill tried to convince his companions: "Take a step back and say, if we take Britain down to Germany, what is the use of those isolated colonies?" The British Empire is gone! ”

If there is a choice, all the colonies can be abandoned in exchange for victory, and all kinds of interests can be abandoned in order to preserve the British mainland!

"I support the Prime Minister's view." Finally, in the far corner of the conference room, a voice spoke.

This is a somewhat tired army general, and one of the very few British expeditionary force generals who have returned from France, Montgomery.
