Chapter 448: Returning to China as Prime Minister

People seem to have forgotten how much they hated Churchill's rhetoric in previous years, and the chatter of war threats made one want to burn Churchill on a shelf like a magic stick. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But now, they suddenly discovered that Churchill had already had a prescient mind! Everything that Churchill predicted was true, and at the same time, Churchill was still a staunch representative!

Although Britain is also a free country, unlike the United States, the British general election does not elect the prime minister, but refers to the election of members of the House of Commons.

The general election is a simple majority system, in which voters vote for members of the House of Commons from 650 constituencies, winning more than half of the country's constituencies, that is, more than 326 seats, the party will become the prime minister of the United Kingdom.

In other words, as long as there are enough members of the party, you can become the prime minister, and if you do not have enough members of the party, you can form a coalition government with other parties.

In the UK, the prime minister is not elected.

In this eventful season, Britain was even less capable of conducting various electoral activities, and after Chamberlain knew that he had been abandoned by Parliament, Chamberlain nominated the long-awaited Churchill as the Prime Minister of Britain.

In this way, Chamberlain is also beneficial, when Churchill becomes prime minister, he can pardon all the mistakes made by Chamberlain, and even Chamberlain can continue his political career, as is the case in history.

After Churchill came to power, he helped Chamberlain block those impeachments, and even gave Chamberlain some positions.

After Chamberlain resigned as prime minister, he remained the leader of the Conservative Party. Although the Labour and Liberal parties encouraged Churchill to remove Chamberlain from the government, Churchill still asked Chamberlain to remain in the wartime cabinet because Chamberlain still had the support of the majority of Conservative MPs.

Churchill initially wanted to appoint Chamberlain as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but was strongly opposed by Labour and the Liberals, and eventually appointed him President of the Privy Council, with a significant committee of Privy Council Speakers in charge.

As a British statesman, Chamberlain continued to faithfully carry out his work and provided many useful advisories to the government.

Churchill's approach was also rewarded. By 1940, unable to conquer Britain, Germany offered peace with Britain, which almost split the government, and Chamberlain initially supported accepting the terms, but Churchill succeeded in persuading Chamberlain to side with him against peace.

Chamberlain was still supported by most Conservative MPs, while Churchill was only supported by Labour and Liberal MPs, and Chamberlain, fearing that this would weaken the government, encouraged Conservative MPs to support Churchill on various occasions.

Looking at these examples, we know that the British government is still very harmonious, in short, there will never be a scandal like in a certain country in the East, where the president breaks out in front of him and is finally thrown into prison.

And now, Chamberlain knows that he is no longer suitable to be prime minister, so he must find a suitable person to lead the United Kingdom, and this person, of course, is Churchill!

When Churchill received the news, he was stunned at first, and then immediately recovered, he is already the prime minister, then, he has to serve the interests of Britain!

He was in Paris to coordinate the British Expeditionary Force with the French war against Germany, but it didn't matter anymore, he had to return to England.

What is lacking in Britain now is hope, and Churchill, through speeches, hopes to give hope to the country and to the people!

Britain, has never failed, and this time too!

"Prepare a special plane immediately, I want to return to England." Churchill said.

Transferring to the wartime system, calling up the reserve army into active duty, and continuing to ask the United States for help, all of this needs to be arranged immediately, and Britain has lost too much time, and now it must race against time!

Churchill took one last look at Gammel and said to him: "General Gammelin, I suggest you leave some reserves, the Germans opposite us are very cunning. ”

The commander here is Gammerin, and even if Churchill uses his position as the new prime minister, he cannot give orders to Gammelin, after all, this is French territory.

He could only advise.

When he had finished saying this, he hurried away from the conference hall, for him there was a more important task, England, which needed him!

At the same time, he also swelled up with pride in his heart, even if it is declining, Britain's heritage is still rich, Germany cannot win, Britain, will definitely hold on to the end!

"Thompson, when you go back, go and see His Majesty the King as soon as you go." On the plane, Churchill said to his personal guard.

In England, the bourgeois revolution of that year did not directly send the king to the guillotine as in France, but maintained the existence of the royal family.

The royal family leads the people spiritually, while the prime minister deals with the affairs of the country, and every prime minister needs to report to His Majesty the king first after completing the election.

The current king of England, George VI, came to power only the year before last.

"Yes." Thompson replied to him that from now on, Churchill would have a lot to deal with, and as a personal chief of guard, he would protect Churchill's safety and plan his itinerary for him.

While flying over the English Channel, Churchill fell asleep. It wasn't until there was a slight shaking of the fuselage that Churchill woke up.

"Prime Minister, it's already in London." Thompson said.

Already there? Churchill got up from his seat and was stunned when he opened the curtains and looked out of the cabin.

I don't know when, there was a crowd standing outside! At this time, it was raining lightly in London, and the people outside the cabin, without umbrellas, were looking at the special plane with a focused gaze.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why, there were already so many people at the airport when our plane landed." Thompson said.

Churchill remembered that a few years ago, when Chamberlain returned to London after the Munich Agreement was signed, it was also such a grand scene at the airport, but the mood of the people was different.

At that time, it was relaxed, and now, it is depressing.

"Okay, let's get out." Churchill said that he had to change his plans on the fly, and after getting off the plane, he gave a speech to boost British morale!

If you want to be a qualified politician, you have to be a qualified orator, and a mustache can stir the whole of Germany out of the gloom of the First World War, and this is the charm of language.

And Churchill can definitely accomplish this task, you know, Churchill himself is a man of letters.

The light rain in London was dripping, and in the drizzle, a pair of eyes, looking at the plane restlessly, the top hat pressed his face, his hands, trembling slightly.
