939 [Interviews & Speeches]
The so-called "Sea Lion Plan" is a plan to completely eliminate the British air and naval forces, and then use the army to occupy the three islands of LinkedIn.
Unfortunately, there were problems with the preparation of German ships and logistical supply, so Hitler switched to a simple air attack and forced Britain to surrender. Friends who are familiar with history know that Hitler later announced the indefinite postponement of the "Sea Lion Project" because it was never possible to destroy Britain's few air forces.
The British played guerrilla warfare in the air, often fighting more with less, rushing into the melee of German bombers, and then running away at the right time.
In the beginning, Germany only bombed British air bases and naval fleets, but later became too annoyed by British air guerrilla warfare to simply bomb the city of London. While countless neighborhoods of London were bombed to rubble, Churchill was relieved that the airbase was finally relieved.
Churchill had a hard heart, he was able to crack the German code and pretend not to know, and gave the entire city of Coventry to the Germans for bombing. It was also possible to take advantage of the German bombing of London to quickly repair the airfield and planes, and exchange civilian lives for the survival of the British Air Force.
With the help of pilot Ethan, Zhou Hexuan successfully landed the plane, and they were immediately surrounded.
"Is anyone hurt?" The ground crew asked.
Zhou Hexuan stood on the gangway and said, "I'm Zhou Hexuan." We were attacked by the Germans, there were two dead and three wounded on the plane, please arrange for a car to take the injured to the hospital. ”
Zhu Guozhen and Sun Yongzhen helped the injured to land carefully, and someone recognized Ethan and hurriedly asked, "Where is Hurt?" ”
Ethan said with some sadness: "Unfortunately, Hutt has already gone to see God. Thanks to this Mr. Zhou, he not only writes brilliantly, but also flies the plane very well, and it is he who drives the plane back to London. ”
The ground staff were amazed, some of them knew Zhou Hexuan's incredible feeling, and some of them didn't know each other and inquired about the situation in detail.
Soon the car from the airport also came, and everyone took the car to the city hospital.
Wang Rizhang's injuries were the lightest, but he was only knocked on the forehead, and at most he had a slight concussion. Ju Yiqiao's calf muscles were punched with a penetrating hole, and if he wanted to stand up and walk, he would have to recover for at least a month.
Ethan's injuries were the most severe, he suffered a comminuted fracture of his right arm, and it was difficult for him to fly again.
Journalists in London were so impressed that many of them came to interview the heroes who had escaped at gunpoint from German planes. As a result, they unexpectedly learned the news of Zhou Hexuan, and they shifted their targets one after another, blocking Zhou Hexuan in the hospital and unable to leave.
The reporter asked: "Mr. Zhou, is it really the plane you flew?" When did you learn to fly an airplane? ”
Zhou Hexuan said modestly: "I only have a little bit of airplane piloting skills. ”
The reporter asked: "I heard that the plane was hit by dozens of bullet holes by the Germans, the situation must have been very dangerous at that time, right?" ”
"I don't know, I haven't counted how many bullet holes there are," Zhou Hexuan said solemnly, "but I want to severely condemn Germany's shameless attack on civilians, we are only on a civilian plane, and it belongs to Egypt, a non-belligerent country!" ”
The reporter asked: "What is the purpose of your visit to the UK this time?" ”
Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "I am visiting the UK on behalf of the Chinese government. I know that the British people, who had always loved peace, were now forced to accept war, and that countless British people had died at the hands of German guns. In this regard, on behalf of the Chinese people, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the British people. Fascism is the demon that destroys the peace of mankind, and China has been fighting against fascist forces for ten years! As early as 10 years ago, the Japanese fascists invaded Northeast China, and we built a new Great Wall with flesh and blood. Now, I hope that China and Britain can join hands to resist the invasion of fascist forces and win this war imposed on the head by fascists! ”
The reporter said excitedly: "Mr. Zhou, are you going to represent China in alliance negotiations with the United Kingdom?" ”
The more Zhou Hexuan spoke, the more energetic he became: "China is willing to form an alliance with any anti-fascist force, because this is not a war in the ordinary sense, this is a war in which the fascist demons try to dominate the whole world." ”
A reporter suddenly asked, "Will China be able to resist Japan's attack?" You seem to have lost a lot of battles. ”
Zhou Hexuan immediately retorted: "Britain has also fought a lot of defeats, hundreds of thousands of British and French troops were blocked in Dunkirk, do you think Britain can't win?" ”
"Uh...... Of course, Britain will win. The reporter said embarrassedly.
Zhou Hexuan impassionedly: "China will never give in, just as Britain will not give in." Japan may be able to occupy the whole of China, but there are absolutely no living Chinese in the China they occupy, because it is impossible to give up resistance until the Chinese are dead! The World Anti-Fascist War will be won, China will win, and Britain will win! ”
The reporters quickly remembered, and someone asked: "Do you have confidence in the Sino-British alliance?" ”
Zhou Hexuan suddenly became serious: "I feel very sorry that as anti-fascist countries, China and Britain should be natural allies. However, the British government wanted to compromise with Japan, and Britain actually wanted to close the Yunnan-Burma Highway. It was one of the only two lines of communication that China had with the outside world, and the British government's approach was undoubtedly pushing China into a desperate situation. This was a very irrational act, because China was holding back the pace of Japanese aggression, and once China lost its ability to resist, Japan would inevitably accelerate its invasion of Britain's colonies in the Far East. The British government's actions are short-sighted and cowardly, and I hope Prime Minister Churchill will think carefully! ”
The hospital was completely turned into a stage for Zhou Hexuan's speech, and many patients came to listen curiously, and the talk finally ended until near noon.
After the reporters dispersed, Ma Jue said admiringly: "Sir, you spoke so well!" ”
Zhou Hexuan asked, "Are they okay?" ”
Ma Jue said: "Mr. Wang has woken up, and Mr. Ju still needs to be hospitalized to recuperate. ”
"I'm fine," Wang Rizhang wrapped a bandage on his forehead and gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Zhou is so good that he can even fly a plane." If you hadn't made a move, we'd all have to answer in the English Channel. ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how to fly a plane, just catch ducks on the shelves." ”
Ma Jue suddenly pointed outside: "Sir, Ambassador Guo is here!" ”
Guo Taiqi was still dressed very sassy, but his face was a little haggard, he came over with a civilized staff and asked with concern: "Are you all okay?" I just got the news and it scared the hell out of me. ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "It's okay, a little injury." By the way, has the British government made a decision? ”
Guo Taiqi shook his head and sighed: "I haven't decided yet, but it's almost like that." ”
In fact, while Zhou Hexuan was flying the plane, the British cabinet had already passed a resolution to close the Yunnan-Burma Highway. However, the resolution has not been made public for the time being, because Britain needs to obtain the approval of the United States, and if the United States opposes it, the resolution can only be annulled.
