Chapter 496: A Plan to Save Britain
War is the catalyst of science and technology, and under the passage of Ciric, more attention is paid to the development of science and technology, and he knows how much this will promote the process of war. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Moreover, Germany already has sufficient funds to carry out research and development in all aspects, especially related to weapons research and development, and it has spared no effort.
While Ciric visited the GEMA factory late at night to honor a large number of scientists for the advent of the transistor, on the other side of the strait, it was also sleepless.
Bad news, one after the other.
For the first time, it can be said that it was caught off guard, it was the Germans who attacked by surprise, and now?
First, at night, in the night battle between the two sides, several ships were beaten, and then, during the day, they caught up with the German warships, and as a result, more than a dozen warships surrounded and beat one of them, but they did not take the other side down, on the contrary, after the main force of the other side arrived, they destroyed the main force of their own fleet.
When Scapa Bay was attacked, the main British fleet was greatly damaged, and this time the attackers were all transferred from various colonies, and it was easy to get together and start a decent naval battle with the Germans, but the solution was so miserable.
With the destruction of warships one after another, it can be said that it is no longer possible for the British Navy to maintain supremacy at sea.
"It's all a German conspiracy, they actually stir up the emotions of the American people, otherwise, we could have obtained some warships from the United States." Colonial Affairs Secretary Aiden said.
Now, even if Britain tightens its belts and hurries to build warships, it will be too late, and the construction of a warship will take a long time, and the only way now is to lease it from the United States.
Now, who else can blame? It is all to blame for the Germans being too cunning and constantly stirring up the emotions of the American people against supporting the British.
How to go on the roads of the UK?
Churchill was still smoking his cigar and sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, his face looking ugly.
"Compared with the maritime problem, we still have to pay attention to the land, the main force of our expeditionary force is about to be surrounded by the Germans, everyone, there is our elite troops, and there is absolutely no room for loss." Archibald Montgomery Massenbold, Chief of Staff of the Reich, had a worried look on his face at this time.
The surprise attack of the German armored forces surprised everyone, the Schlieffen plan in World War I failed, lost in equipment, and now, seeing that Germany is about to succeed, their equipment brings them a huge advantage!
Just ten minutes ago, Churchill had spoken on the phone with French Prime Minister Reynolds, and Reynolds's tone was quite decadent.
He said to Churchill: "I am afraid we are going to lose this battle!" ”
When he put down the phone, Churchill didn't say anything, and looked at the staff in front of him who were talking about it, but no one could come up with a new idea of construction.
The British Empire is already in turmoil, and Churchill, must save the current situation!
"We can't wait any longer, since France can't hold on, we must withdraw our troops from France!" At this moment, Churchill suddenly put down his cigar and said to the person in front of him.
Withdraw it!
This is the last resort to save Britain.
Now, even if you think with your ass, you can know that in the face of the attack of the sharp German armored forces, your side has no chance of winning, and in this case, it is better to withdraw from it.
Not only their own troops, but also the French troops, they will definitely withdraw with them and go to England, which will lay the foundation for the future counteroffensive of Britain.
At the same time, after withdrawing, the demise of France is also inevitable, and in this case, the British Navy can expand its strength again, that is, to incorporate the French Navy!
At present, Germany is mainly fighting on land in France, and mainly fighting Britain at sea, and it is conceivable that the Germans want to trap Britain by blockading the sea.
And the only way for Britain to get out of this predicament is now.
The main force of the British fleet is gone, but the French fleet is still there!
After the end of World War I, the French fleet was basically crippled, but with the development of 20 years, the French navy has developed to the level of the world's fourth navy, and they have a large number of warships.
It's just that the main warships of the French Navy are deployed in the south, and their imaginary enemy is Italy.
If the warships of the French Navy are replenished, then the British Navy will once again have the ability to compete with the Germans for supremacy at sea!
In this difficult situation, Churchill will never sit still, he must save the empire!
"Get me a plane, I'm going to Paris." Churchill said.
This kind of blatant request for their navy from France must of course be sincere, and Churchill must go in person and consult with Prime Minister Reynolds to move the main force of the French fleet to Great Britain, as long as it reaches his own port, it will be easy.
Churchill could only make a trip himself.
When he stood up, his brows furrowed, and a sensation from his crotch made sweat immediately appear on his forehead.
What's going on?
Churchill already had a faint sense that something was wrong with his body, but now, he couldn't fall, and if he fell, the empire would be doomed.
"Prime Minister, what's wrong?" The man next to him asked.
"It's okay, I've been sitting for a long time and I'm cramping." Churchill tried to make himself as relaxed as possible: "Go to Paris now!" ”
This action is related to the future of the United Kingdom! Since France can no longer hold on, it is better to simply throw it away, and let the French army and the British army retreat to England, so that there is still hope for their own side!
If these armies were completely annihilated by Germany, it could be said that Britain's hope would be slim.
Churchill continued to smoke two puffs of his cigar and walked to the door, he turned his head to look at the rice flag hanging directly above the conference room, and suddenly all confidence returned to his heart again.
We haven't failed yet! We won't fail either!
Now, it is only a stopgap measure, if Britain wants to win, it must bring the United States in, and when it is done with these things, it will have to go to the United States to meet with Roosevelt, and Britain must get the support of the United States!
With a determined step, Churchill walked out.
Half an hour later, at the airport near London, a passenger plane, taking off from the airport, flew into the darkness.
Although it was generally safe at night, the RAF dispatched four fighter jets to escort the airliner over the English Channel in the direction of Paris.
