Chapter 493: Churchill and Montgomery

London, England, a movie theater.

The movie projector was constantly buzzing, and Montgomery and a group of high-ranking British military officers were accompanying Churchill to watch the movie. , as well as eating canned beef, and biscuits and other things from time to time.

Of course, there are quite a few types of drinks, and cigarettes.

And the movie they are watching is the latest British film (Victory in the Desert), which tells the story of how the British army, led by Montgomery, defeated the German army of Rommel, the Desert Fox, in the Battle of El Alamein.

In fact, a week after the movie premiered in London, England and the United States, it was already popular all over the world.

Especially in those countries that rebelled against Germany, there was even more fire in the mess.

Because at this moment, whether it was the Eastern Front or the Western Front, the troops of the British, American, Soviet and other allied countries were all troops by Chen Yanlong, so the German army under his command was defeated and retreated, with heavy casualties.

Therefore, not long after the defeat in the Battle of Sicily, Britain and the United States and other countries hurriedly made this set of morale-boosting and people's historical films into movies to gather the people's hearts and gradually declining morale.

Especially after meeting with King George VI during the day, Churchill wanted to watch this movie to dispel the troubles in his heart.

Because the German A-series missiles have been bombing London continuously for more than a week, and major British cities have also been bombed by the German army on a large scale, resulting in many casualties among people, officers and soldiers.

There were also many military installations, as well as buildings, which were also bombed by a large number of German aerial bombs; And incendiary bombs were blown up, blown into ruins, and unrecognizable.

For such a serious loss and humiliation, Churchill was angrily scolded by King George VI for more than two hours before he let him go.

However, when Churchill left the British Palace, King George VI gave him the harshest orders; No matter what method he used, he must stop all the bombing operations and missile bombardment of the German Air Forces within three days.

If you don't do your job well and can't complete the task; Then King George VI will consider uniting all parties to remove Churchill from the prime ministership and put other talented people on the throne.

In this regard, Churchill, who has become accustomed to the taste of power, will never let such a thing that is unfavorable to him appear.

Therefore, he not only wants to come to this cinema to watch a movie and relax today, but also has a secret meeting with his subordinates to discuss the completion of the combat mission of King George VI to completely destroy the "rocket artillery coast" of the German army in northwestern France and other places, and the task of blowing up the German missile factory in the Penemin area.

"It's a very good film, especially about how you defeat the Germans in a majestic way, control the air and sea supremacy in the Mediterranean, and quickly advance westward to occupy all of Cyrenaica and Tripolitania in Libya; The battle situation of expelling all German and Italian troops from the north with the US troops landing in North Africa is the most attractive! General Montgomery! ”

When he looked at the place, Churchill suddenly looked at Montgomery, who was sitting next to him, and smiled in appreciation.

"Thanks for the appreciation! Your Excellency the Prime Minister! ”

"In fact, it is not easy for me to win this battle; In order to achieve the final victory, I do not drink, do not smoke, and get enough sleep; Keep your head clear, have enough physical strength, and be able to give your all and command the troops in battle with full dedication! ”

Montgomery replied with a slightly, proud smile at Churchill's admiration.

"Hey! The secret of my success is the opposite of yours! When the war is unfavorable, I will treat wine more like my life, rarely sleep, and love cigars! ”

Hearing this, Churchill was slightly stunned, and then responded with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you forgot to say that you still like to watch movies, especially inspirational movies!"

Montgomery smiled slightly.

"You're so careful! Even my hobbies know so well! General Montgomery! ”

Churchill was stunned for a moment, then continued to smile.

"If I don't know psychology, how can I defeat Rommel the Desert Fox and win the North African campaign and drive all those damned German troops out of North Africa and Tunisia!"

Montgomery laughed even more pretentiously.
