531 last fleet

See, things are sometimes so strange, and when many people try to make something happen, it often ends in failure.

And unintentionally inserting willows and willows into the willows happens naturally in a certain corner of the world every moment.

Clement, the wonderful British Prime Minister who has just taken office and has not had time to feel the prime minister's throne? Richard? Mr. Attlee, I heard several telegrams in quick succession that made him vomit blood.

First, Phillips actually led the fleet to riot, ran away from home with the warship and disappeared without a trace, and then did not wait for the German questioning, but waited for Montgomery and others to be telegraphed.

For a time, the British Empire, which appeared to be stormy on the surface, but actually did not lose many colonies, lost more than one-third of its actual control area in an instant.

Although those places are somewhat beyond the reach of the current Britain, it is indeed shameful enough to throw them out so blatantly.

Clement? Richard? Attlee looked at the message in his hand that his secretary had just sent, and felt a breath of air hit his Heavenly Spirit Gai.

Anthony? Sir Eden, an official whom Churchill admired, walked in at this time.

He was now the British Foreign Secretary and was responsible for the signing of the peace treaty with Germany. His arrival at this time will definitely not have any good news.

Interestingly, Clement? Richard? Attlee was the first post-war British prime minister who defeated Winston Churchill to come to power, and Anthony? Sir Eden also took over the scepter of Prime Minister in the hands of Churchill.

Both men served as post-war British Prime Minister in real history. Richard? Attlee was older and more sophisticated.

Clement? Richard? Attlee closed the document in his hand, looked at the foreign secretary who walked in with a pair of eyes, and asked, "If there is anything else to worry about, let's talk about it together." ”

"The Germans heard about our fleet...... Sure enough, a loan from Liverpool and other areas was proposed...... 99 years. It sounds like a lot less, but it's enough to keep us down. "Anthony? Sir Aiden spoke with some frustration.

"We're in a slump." As the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Attlee took this sentence with a wry smile.

A day before he had been so discouraged, but what he had experienced since taking office was worse than the harshest imagination he had imagined before he took office.

"God bless the British Empire, the United States doesn't want us to continue to meddle in Canada's affairs, so I don't think we can get Canada's statement." Sir Aiden said as he watched the sun rise in the sky.

It was really good weather, there were not even very many clouds in the sky. The Germans were only a dozen kilometers away from London, and it was imperative to sign a peace treaty as soon as possible.

"Give it to them! We don't have any chips anymore, and the Ramirez gives them all! We don't want anything! "Gritting his teeth, Attlee is very single.

In fact, he also has his own little abacus: when he took over, it was already the most passive time for Britain. As long as you get through the current period, the rest of the days will be much better.

At least with the continued victories of Germany, Britain will also regain some national power. Although it is no longer possible to become a world hegemon, it is still expected to follow the Germans to pick up some benefits and subsidize the deficit.

And if Germany loses in this war, then Britain can logically take back a lot of what belongs to them.

So in the long run, as long as the status quo is stabilized, Britain can continue to wait for the day when it will re-emerge.

"The rest is up to you! Before this afternoon, I will see the text of the treaty! "Once the decision is made, the rest of the compromise is much easier. Prime Minister Attlee seemed to have lost his strength and said to Sir Aiden weakly.

Sir Eden heard the order, nodded, and turned to leave the Prime Minister's office. The German bombing had stopped the day before yesterday, and London had returned to its former tranquility.

In the morning, citizens lined up to receive relief food from the government, which had come from pre-war reserves and was not in sufficient quantities.

If it had not been for the preparations for peace with Germany, the top brass would not have agreed to use the grain.

But now it seems that the war is about to end, and instead of starving the people to death, it is better to eat the food and survive this difficult situation first.

Neither the United States nor Germany can afford to watch Britain starving, and there will still be grain shipped to Britain after all.

……

Journalists have crowded in front of the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, and heard that a general armistice agreement will be signed between the two countries today.

After all, Germany won the war, so the German reporters had happy expressions on their faces.

British journalists, French journalists, American journalists, and even two Soviet journalists on a special assignment were invited to arrive here.

The flash was flashing incessantly just now, and reporters have never stayed away from stingy with their own film for such a big event.

They wanted to be able to record every detail of the glorious moment, after all, it was the greatest victory since the birth of the Third Reich.

The war was to end with the signing of the peace treaty, and the long-awaited years of peace for the German people were coming.

The Third Reich encompassed Norway near the Arctic Circle to the scorching heath of Africa; From the icy and tyrannical Atlantic, all the way to the Suez Canal.

With the exception of besieged Italy, there seemed to be only two states left in Europe: the Third Reich and its client states.

Of course, from the analysis of details, although Mussolini is reluctant to admit it, whether Italy is a client state of Germany or not is really a difficult problem that needs to be examined.

A well-armed force, already docked on the border of Vichy France, was waiting for the moment when the treaty was signed, because at that moment they would be authorized to act.

Standing in front of them were Franco's Spanish troops, who were about the same number of beggars. The commander of these soldiers stood there as straight as a javelin.

It's not that he wants to stand like this, but because standing in front of him is the German instructor who was responsible for training him during the Spanish Civil War.

Now the two of them met again, the German instructor of the year was now the commander of an infantry regiment, and the Spanish soldier who was trained was already the commander of a border battalion.

It's a pity that when he sees his teacher, he still subconsciously stands up straight, as if the whip of the year will fall.

The soldiers on both sides were restrained, the German soldiers stood on the road waiting for permission to enter the country, and Franco's troops were waiting for the British to sign.

Once an agreement was reached between Britain and Germany, Gibraltar, an important port, would become German territory.

Unlike the Lend-Lease British Mainland Occupation Zone and Port, it became a permanent German territory because of the British fleet's exodus.

Therefore, Franco had no excuse to prevent the German troops from crossing the border to receive their land. After all, Franco knew that the Germans were powerful, and he had no reason to be disobedient.

The German officer walked up to his student, took a cigarette from the other man's hand with his chin held high, and the two of them breathed together comfortably.

In the distance, horse-drawn carts were parked on the road, loaded with supplies destined for Gibraltar. Ammunition and weapons had to be replaced, and only heavy artillery remained.

For hundreds of years, the impenetrable fortress of Gibraltar has been the greatest and proudest witness of the British Empire.

It has withstood attacks from countries such as Spain and France and has never been captured by other countries.

But now, a peace treaty, a mighty fortress that had been run by the British for hundreds of years, had to be surrendered to its enemies.

Having already guessed that the Germans would take over the fortress at the first opportunity, Somerville, who was sitting in his office, put down the telegram with tears in his eyes.

His Majesty the King and the new Prime Minister sent an urgent telegram at the same time, which made Somerville, the commander of the Royal Navy's H-Fleet, extremely sad.

The defection of the home fleet cost the country dearly. Both men pleaded with Somerville to stay put, restraining his men from acting aggressively.

If, at this time, the H Fleet also had problems, then Britain would have to cede London to make peace with the Germans.

It was even more humiliating than losing a fleet, and giving up their capital was a defeat that most British people were unwilling to accept.

Somerville pressed his hand to the message, he really wanted to rush out of the harbor with his fleet and kill him to the ocean to meet Phillips.

Then he could lead the fleet back to his homeland, across the English Channel, and fight to the death for the country until the last ship sinks.

It's a pity that this is just his personal wish, and no one seems to be willing to repay this fallen country with a tragic death except himself.

"Let the captain of every battleship come to me! All the battleships cannot move, this is my order, it must be carried out! Hard, Somerville squeezed out such a sentence, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

This may be the most aggrieved order he has given and the most unwilling to carry out. But he had to do it, and he could only do it according to the demands of the country.

For a moment, he used to envy Phillips, that he could lead the fleet to fight until the last moment.

However, only a moment later, as a naval commander loyal to his homeland, he let go of his depression and decided to hold on to the last fleet for his homeland.
