"Roosevelt!"

An angry roar came from the Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street, and all the staff felt from this sound that British Prime Minister Winston. Churchill's burning rage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

To all of their confusion, however, the anger was not directed at Hitler and Hersmann, but at Franklin, the great man of the free world on the other side of the Atlantic. President Roosevelt's.

What's going on? Wasn't Roosevelt on the British side? Aren't he and the prime minister close comrades-in-arms? Why is this an enemy?

While all these little men who were close to the center of British power were suspicious, more ministers, marshals and generals rushed to No. 10 Downing Street in a hurry, all with solemn faces and hurried steps, and no longer had the graceful and firm gentlemanly demeanor of the past, and trotted into the cabinet room when they entered the door - the situation seemed to be really critical!

Churchill was now seated as the Prime Minister should have sitted, smoking a cigar in large gulps, his face was pale, and his fat, flabby, old-looking face was covered with fine beads of sweat. Everyone saw fear and panic on the face of the leader, who had been confident since the beginning of the war, as if he had an iron will.

Prime Minister Churchill, who has an iron will, is actually afraid!

It seems that the British Empire is really coming to an end this time......

With a heavy heart, everyone sat silently in their seats, and then looked at their prime minister.

"Gentlemen, the King has just made a speech calling on the people of the whole country to resist to the end under the leadership of a wartime cabinet." Churchill said in a gloomy tone, "The King has also given orders under the Imperial Defence Act that I shall act in his place during His Majesty's absence, and lead the British people in resistance, and from now on I shall be the Commander-in-Chief of the British homeland." ”

In just a few words, the wartime cabinet members and senior British generals in the audience understood why Churchill was afraid.

Because the king entrusted the whole native land to him, and not to Princess Elizabeth!

This meant that Churchill had to lead the resistance in Britain, and not to flee to the New World in disgrace on a plane - it was not impossible to escape, Churchill could go to the New World as a deserter, and from then on he would be notorious, lose his honor and power, and possibly be tried and convicted!

So Churchill could not escape, he could only bite the bullet and stay on home to lead the resistance. And if Churchill, the prime minister, does not go, and the members of the wartime cabinet certainly can't go......

This is really going to kill the big guy!

The wartime cabinet members, who had already heard some rumors and knew that things were not going well, were all as panicked as Churchill, except for Labour's deputy prime minister, Attlee.

"Mr. Prime Minister," Attlee said, glancing at his somewhat stunned colleagues in the room, "will the King return?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Churchill smiled wryly and said, "When we have defeated the invading Nazi army and recovered the fallen Irish lands, he will return." ”

That's not coming back!

Everyone's hearts sank, although the King of England had long been a mascot with no real power, but according to the black and white letters on the Imperial Defense Act, the King was still the commander-in-chief with unlimited power in wartime.

Fortunately, the Germans have not yet landed on the island of Great Britain, and the commander-in-chief has fled first, so how can this battle be fought?

Attlee said calmly: "Mr. Prime Minister, the British people need a king or queen who can lead them to battle at home!" ”

"Mr. Attlee, watch your words!" Churchill glared at Attlee viciously.

"Mr. Prime Minister," Attlee said aloud at all, "we are here in England, not in monarchical Japan, and I think everyone remembers how Edward VIII lost his throne a few years ago...... He just wants to marry a divorced woman, and such a mistake is not worth mentioning at the moment! ”

Compared to losing the World War and running away, Edward VIII's problem was really a trivial matter. If Edward VIII can get out of power, why can't George VI, who fled, be replaced?

"No!" Churchill was almost ranting, "Mr. Attlee, do you think I don't understand what you're thinking?" What you want is not a king who can lead the empire to resist, but a queen who can lead the empire to grovel to the enemy! ”

"Not groveling, but decent peace!" Attlee is not afraid of tearing his face with the fat man now.

He was the leader of the Labour Party, which was based on the working people of England at this time. These working people are starving, and there is certainly no way to flee to Canada and the United States, but to stay on the island of Great Britain, where they have lived for generations.

Since the island of Great Britain will definitely not be able to hold on, what is the need to fight to the death? And the German leaflets (planes will come whenever the weather is good) said that Germany had no intention of destroying the British Empire, which could still retain the three largest and richest colonies, India, Australia and Canada. And if Britain joins the European Community, its rights and interests in India, Australia and Canada will be supported by the entire European Community!

Although Britain is no longer the world's premier empire, it can still become the core of Europe and become the dominant power in the world, along with Germany, France, and Italy.

Such peace conditions were not much more favorable than the Treaty of Versailles, which Britain and France imposed on Germany in those years. Moreover, France's recent success in turning French North Africa into its own territory also proves that France's position and interests in the European Community are secure.

When it comes to hatred, the contradiction between France and Germany is far greater than that between Britain and Germany! France and Germany can coexist in harmony, so why is there any need for Britain and Germany to fight you to the death?

So Attlee is not afraid to turn his face with Churchill at all now, and this face must also be turned over!

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you do not agree with my proposal (to change the king), then I will resign from all my positions in the wartime cabinet." Attlee gave Fat Qiu an ultimatum.

Labour is withdrawing from the wartime cabinet!

Although the current Labour Party is not the largest party in the House of Commons, due to the Beveridge Report (a document on the establishment of a welfare state that was extremely influential in Britain in the 40s) and the increasingly severe war situation, the support of the Labour Party, which advocates social welfare and retains some disagreement with Britain's war policy, has actually surpassed the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party.

If Churchill dissolves the House of Commons and calls an early general election now, then the Conservatives and the Liberals will surely lose miserably, and Attlee will become Prime Minister!

"Mr. Prime Minister, please dissolve the House of Commons and hold an early general election!" Attlee said loudly to Churchill. "If you're no longer prime minister, then you don't have to be responsible."

This is actually giving Churchill a step.

If you can't choose, you can't blame the fat man, right? If he is not the prime minister, he naturally has no responsibility to defend the territory, and he is also old, even if he can't be recruited by the army, it is not his fault to go to Canada.

"No!" Churchill was not such an easy man to give in, and he said angrily, "I will not dissolve the House of Commons, and I do not have the power to do so, and the dissolution of Parliament requires the king's approval!"

And under the Reich Defence Act, I will cease all political activity of the Labour Party. I will not be like the Tsar in 1917, handing over power to madmen and villains, which can only bring destruction. Because the problems facing Britain now cannot be solved by a majority vote, but must be solved by iron and blood...... So I will declare martial law in London and declare a state of emergency for the entire island of Britain! This is the only way to save the Empire! ”

Churchill quoted Bismarck, and there is some truth to this statement in today's Britain.

At present, there is no consensus among the British people on the question of war or peace, and even among the working class there is a fierce pro-war faction - the British Bolshevik Party is resolutely on the main front, and the power of this party is expanding dramatically as the situation in Britain becomes more and more difficult!

In addition, the Catholic Scots now have the idea of separating from England!

Although there was an independence movement in Scotland after the First World War, it was not very noisy, and the support of the Scottish National Party was not high. But now is the time of great calamity, and the Scots may not be willing to suffer the consequences of defeat with the English.

If a general election were to be held now, perhaps the Scottish National Party, the British Bolshevik Party and the British Labour Party would all win by a large margin...... At that time, Britain will not "seek peace with dignity", but will fall apart and fight a civil war.

Therefore, Qiu Fatzi simply declared martial law and a state of emergency, and directly nippled the signs of British division and civil war in the bud. And he is not afraid of a fierce backlash because the British Labour Party, a white left, cannot play full force.

And the British Bolshevik Party, which was able to fight, was the main battle - they listened to the command of the Third International, and now Stalin certainly did not want the British to fight on their own, so the Bolshevik Party certainly supported martial law and a state of emergency.

As for the Scottish National Party...... Nor is it a big problem at the moment, because the Germans do not support Scottish independence - because the Germans ruled Europe by unity, not national self-determination. Because revolution and national independence in Europe are always "contagious", if Germany pursues national self-determination in Europe, then Poland, Bohemia, Ukraine, Lithuania and other non-German national homelands are likely to generate strong separatist sentiments.

So the ideal situation of the German Empire was to turn Europe with many small countries into a Europe based on large powers, and to turn unification into "political correctness" in Europe. Germany, on the other hand, became the largest, strongest and most populous of all. (To be continued.) )
