The cabinet meeting ended, and Churchill's opinion was adopted. However, it was still believed that Churchill's plan would be very difficult to realize. However, in the absence of a better way, it is a good idea to prepare according to Churchill's advice, and more importantly, there is also a glimmer of hope for the future, hoping that their army will be able to withstand the German attack. In that case, it would be in the best interest of the British Empire and its ministers.

Even if they didn't do well, they were able to flee Britain early and go to other colonies. As Churchill said, the British Empire had vast colonies, and even if Britain fell proper, they could flee to the colonies and continue to hold on. In that case, even if you can't defeat Germany, you can still hold on to it to the end.

So, after the meeting, Churchill made one more appointment. Despite the fact that he was the Lord of the Navy, Prime Minister Asquith appointed him with full responsibility for the defense of the homeland. Even the Secretary of State Richard? Hardan, too, doesn't seem to have any objection to this.

Everyone left, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd? George stayed.

"George, now the British Empire, has come to its last moment. Although, Churchill was still unwilling to give up. But you and I both know that the British Empire has lost a lot in this war. If you give up your homeland and retreat to the colony, even if you can continue to hold on, it won't make much sense. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister. However, it always hurts to let Churchill try it. As he said, no matter how bad it is, it won't be much worse than it is now. No matter how bad it is, we can still go to the colonies. "Lloyd? George said.

Prime Minister Asquith nodded: "George, I want to resign as Prime Minister. ”

Prime Minister Asquith suddenly said this sentence so that Lloyd? George's eyes widened.

Although, Asquith has long wanted to be prime minister. Especially when Britain was losing on the battlefield, he wanted to resign as prime minister. To put it bluntly, I just want to pick a pick, escape from the battle, and don't want to bear the responsibility of defeat anymore. Such behavior is undoubtedly despised. However, if you put yourself in their shoes, everyone can understand it. If it were someone else, it is estimated that he would not have done better than Prime Minister Asquith, let alone lasted as long as he did.

Prime Minister Asquith is now 63 years old, but he looks older than anyone his age. The power of the prime minister is great, but at the same time there is a lot of responsibility and pressure. Especially after the outbreak of this war, Prime Minister Asquith was so busy that he couldn't even sleep well. In such a situation, even an iron man can't hold on!

What's more, now that the British Empire is on the verge of defeat, it makes him even more reluctant to hold on.

"Your Excellency, the British Empire still needs your leadership! How can you have such a thought? "Lloyd? George immediately persuaded him.

How to make Lloyd's? George decided that he would absolutely not agree with Asquith's resignation as prime minister. There is only one reason, and that is that as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he is customarily regarded as a deputy minister in the cabinet. Once Prime Minister Asquith resigns, then he is very likely to be on top. He would have been happy if it had been at any other time, but right now, he didn't want to take over the mess.

Although, being prime minister has always been Lloyd's? George's goal. But taking over as prime minister under such circumstances is something he is not willing to do. It's clear that Asquith wants to find an unlucky guy to be a scapegoat. Lloyd's? George wasn't stupid, and certainly wouldn't do it.

"George, I'm getting worse and worse now, and I'm no longer able to perform my duties as Prime Minister. So, I can't continue to do this position no matter what. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Buckingham Palace and submit my resignation to His Majesty the King! Prime Minister Asquith said firmly. This time, he made up his mind completely and wanted to resign. This was a retreat he had already thought of.

After resigning as prime minister, the mess can be thrown out. You can even find a way to leave the UK and travel to Canada, or even the US. Thus avoiding war.

Once the Germans landed on British soil, no one knew whether they would survive the war. After all, human life is fragile in war. Whether it's the prime minister or an ordinary civilian, it's possible to die.

Lloyd's? George opened his mouth to persuade him again. However, after seeing Prime Minister Asquith's resolute expression, he knew that no further persuasion would be in vain. Prime Minister Asquith has made up his mind.

"Your Excellency, who will take over as Prime Minister?" Lloyd's? George asked.

Since Asquith resigned as prime minister, there is no way to change it. So, what he has to do is that he will definitely not be able to take over as prime minister, Lloyd's? George also wants to stay alive, preferably in power. But if he were to be the prime minister and take charge of the future fate of the British Empire, he would never do it.

"George, as is customary, you take over the post of Prime Minister if I do not have a full term." Prime Minister Asquith said.

"No, absolutely not. Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am not capable of leading the British Empire. Especially in such a situation, I simply do not have the ability to lead the British Empire out of this difficult situation. So, if Your Excellency the Prime Minister were to resign as Prime Minister, I could not stop it. However, I also have the right to refuse to take over as Prime Minister. If you insist, then I will also submit my resignation! "Lloyd? George jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.

Lloyd's? George's attitude is also very resolute. Anyway, he is determined that he will not take over as prime minister. Asquith wants to pick a son and evade responsibility. He's not a fool either, and he's not going to be a scapegoat at this time.

Prime Minister Asquith's face suddenly became a little unpleasant. If he wants to resign, he must find a successor. Otherwise, His Majesty will certainly not accept his resignation.

"George, it's your responsibility. As Deputy Prime Minister, you are the best candidate to succeed Prime Minister when I leave office. Prime Minister Asquith said.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, I'm sorry. The position of prime minister is too important. I have limited abilities to take on such a responsibility! "Lloyd? George didn't budge.
