Cairo, across the Nile River, is the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of the entire Middle East.

The heat of the climate was quite uncomfortable, but it was many times better than inside a submarine, so much so that Queen Elizabeth was breathing, breathing, as if to drive away the lingering smell of diesel in her lungs.

In a car, Churchill and George VI were deliberating.

"General Wavell was nowhere to be found in the Battle of Tubrug, so now we have appointed General Auchinleck to replace him as commander-in-chief of the British Middle Eastern Army, and at the same time, we have sent General Montgomery with tank troops to support, and now General Montgomery is the commander of the main Eighth Army." Churchill was analyzing.

Auchinleck was personally appointed by Churchill, and Montgomery led the most powerful British army, so now, their safety should be no problem.

As he spoke, the convoy had entered the city of Cairo, and in a modern building in the center of the city was the headquarters of the British army.

Claude John Auchinleck was born in 1884 in Aldershot, England. At the age of 12, he entered the famous Wellington College in England, and in January 1902, he was admitted to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and after graduating in December of the same year, he went to serve in India.

Since then, Auchinleck's life has been spent mainly in India, where he fought in World War I and served as India's commander-in-chief before becoming commander-in-chief in the Middle East.

He was a tall general, with a burly build, and now his rank had become that of general, promoted by Churchill.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Prime Minister." Auchinleck greeted them at the door: "You've worked hard all the way. ”

The queen had taken her two daughters to her residence, and they now needed to take a good bath and sleep soundly.

"General Auchinleck, right now, the situation in Britain is quite unoptimistic." Winston Churchill said: "At this critical juncture, and at such a critical juncture, it is a moment when you can see people's hearts, and your loyalty to the empire will be written in history." ”

Churchill can now only speak in terms of this national righteousness. Fallen here, waiting to use the army of the Middle East to counterattack back to the British mainland.

Hearing this, the expression on Auchinleck's face was quite intriguing.

Churchill just chuckled in his heart, he didn't want the worst to happen.

"We are here, and we have held a banquet to welcome the King and the Prime Minister out of danger." Auchinleck continued.

In the blink of an eye, they walked into the banquet hall, and inside, there were already countless fine wines waiting for them.

One of the generals present was saluting them, and Churchill glanced around and asked casually, "Why didn't you see General Montgomery?" ”

"General Montgomery was in El Alamein, ready to fend off Rommel's attack there, so he didn't come this time." Auchinleck said.

Hearing this, Churchill felt his eyelids beating wildly, he had realized that a huge crisis was appearing in front of his eyes, and he overestimated the loyalty of the general in front of him!

They are loyal to the British royal family, and George VI is not alone, and now, the one in London, after all, is also a legitimate member of the British royal family, in terms of seniority, even older than George VI!

What to do? Churchill's mind was thinking rapidly, it was very difficult to get out of Cairo now, where they were unfamiliar with the place, and there were not many reliable people, and Montgomery, who was still far away, through the long desert to find Montgomery, it was even more difficult than taking a submarine, and if he didn't do it, he would die of hunger and thirst in the desert.

"I want to start with a few words." After Churchill finished speaking, he strode up to the front stage.

"Everyone, it's a pleasure to see you in Cairo, as long as you are here, Britain will never lose its country, as an empire on which the sun never sets, we will never surrender and compromise with Germany!"

Churchill tried to suppress his voice to make him appear more muffled: "Now, our situation is not optimistic, our homeland has fallen, and, in the midst of our royal family, there have been traitors, and Edward VIII, in order to satisfy the attempt of that prince to become queen, actually cooperated with the Germans and betrayed England to Germany!" ”

Sure enough, as soon as Churchill said this, he saw a pair of angry eyes from below, and it seemed that the situation was not as bad as he thought!

As long as there are some loyal people among the people below, themselves and the king, they will not be reduced to the point of being sent back to England by the Great Flower, and the people here still carry the pride of the British people!

Churchill skillfully mobilized the atmosphere of the people below, the former king married a woman who had been divorced twice, and it was already in the country that everyone knew about it, and now, Churchill described the restoration of Edward VIII as this woman's ambition, which of course was more likely to arouse the dissatisfaction of the people.

"If it weren't for Edward VIII's betrayal, the situation in the country wouldn't be so bad." Churchill said: "Yes, we are now facing the most dangerous situation, our homeland has fallen, we are only left with colonies, but we have absolutely not lost!" ”

"Our colonies, a quarter of the world's area, our population, are close to 400 million! Although we have lost our local industry, behind us is the United States, which is also unwilling to see Europe fall to Germany! We don't have to worry about any weapon supplies and backups! Churchill said: "Although Germany is now violent, the defeat of Germany is doomed!" From ancient times to the present, our British Empire has never been defeated! ”

What Churchill said is indeed true, the mainland is a small land, and the colonies are still very large, so they are definitely not a bad card in their hands.

Although there is no local industry, there is the United States behind it!

"I am saddened to see that under the threat of the Germans, there are many traitors in our country, which is a shame for us, and at the same time, a new opportunity for us." Churchill continued: "When this war is over, the old Britain will disappear and a new Britain will be born!" ”

"Everyone here is a hero who has recovered Britain!" Churchill said: "I cannot guarantee that everyone will survive to the end of the war, but I can guarantee that everyone who survives will become a nobleman of the new empire and will gain more status and wealth!" ”

"In the process of building and perishing a country, it will be accompanied by the transfer of great wealth, as long as we use our blood and loyalty, we can bring supreme glory to ourselves, to our families, to the whole family!" Churchill continued: "To surrender Germany and to be a puppet of the Germans, or to be the founder of a new empire, to be a hero and a nobleman to be admired by all? I believe that everyone here can make the right choice! ”
