Chapter 200: Sinners in England

"Chamberlain, you are a sinner of the British Empire, you must be responsible for such a heavy loss, this is a shame for the British Empire, and it is also an eternal pain for the British Empire, since the Age of Discovery, the British Empire has never suffered such a great loss, you have buried all the honor of the British Navy, your guilt is unforgivable.

Historically, the Spanish Armada was rampant all over the world, our British Empire was not afraid, Queen Elizabeth I was not afraid, and in the end, it was our British Empire who had the last laugh and sent all the Spanish Armada to the bottom of the sea, and now? A navy that has only been rebuilt in three or three years has sunk all the main warships of our British Empire's home fleet, and this is the great evil result of your appeasement policy, and you cannot shirk this responsibility.

I ask all the members of Parliament to remove Chamberlain from the post of Prime Minister, to elect a wartime cabinet, and to declare war on Germany immediately, so that the honour of our British Empire cannot be tarnished, the majesty of our British Empire cannot be provoked, and the British Empire will surely be the final victor.

Down with the German fascists.

Long live the British Empire.

Long live His Majesty King George VI. (Original)

As soon as Churchill finished speaking, there was a flurry of applause and a tsunami of slogans, "Down with the German fascists." Long live the British Empire ......", the British Parliament was completely boiling and angry, and everyone expressed their support for Churchill with applause and slogans, and Chamberlain's resignation was a foregone conclusion.

Speaking in Parliament, one MP quoted Cromwell's declaration when he dissolved Parliament: "You have been sitting here too long and have done nothing good. Go, let us tell you in God's name - get out! "The next day, Parliament held a vote of no confidence in the Chamberlain government, when 40 MPs who had supported the government voted against, and although the government eventually won the vote of confidence, Chamberlain knew that it was time for him to step down, and he hoped that he would form a Conservative government after he stepped down, but the parliament strongly demanded that a coalition government should still be formed.

There were two possible candidates: Churchill and Lord Halifax, but Lord Halifax did not consider it appropriate for him to lead the government as a member of the House of Lords. Chamberlain wanted to ask the Labour Party to form a coalition government, asking if the Labour Party agreed, and the question was: Does the Labour Party agree to participate in a government led by himself? If you don't agree. Do you agree to participate in a government led by someone else? The Labour leadership promised an answer the next day. The Labour Party replied that it agreed to participate in the coalition government. But did not agree to be led by Chamberlain. Finally, on the evening of September 1, 1939, Chamberlain submitted his resignation to the king, formally recommending Churchill to succeed him as British Prime Minister. Churchill became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom eight months earlier than in history.

Churchill's Prime Minister's Inaugural Address in the House of Commons on the morning of September 2, 1939:

"All I can do is blood and hard work. Tears and sweat.

You asked: What is our policy? I say. Our policy is to use all the power and strength that God has given us. At sea. War is fought on land and in the air. The same evil and tragic history of human sin has never been fought for the most heinous tyranny ever seen.

You ask: What is our purpose? I can reply in one word: victory - to strive for victory at all costs, no matter how terrible; No matter how long and difficult the road is, strive for victory; Because there is no victory. You can't survive.

At this time, I feel that I have the right to ask for everyone's support, and I say: get up, let's unite and move forward together!

Blood, toil, tears and sweat. ”

Churchill is the most famous hawk, he could not sit idly by while watching Germany blitz Poland, Churchill will definitely take advantage of Germany's attack on Poland to attack Germany's western front with all his might, that is, close to the Ruhr industrial area, so that not only can Germany immediately fall into the dilemma of fighting on two fronts, but also avenge Germany's sneak attack on Scapa Bend.

Churchill thinks so and plans so, but Britain has not sent a single soldier to the Maginot Line in France, which means that there is only the defense of the French ** on the Maginot Line, and the romantic French lad doesn't seem to love war so much, and the pickled girl is their favorite, and they can almost have a fight with the Italians. What is even more serious is that the French senior commanders still have the thinking and tactical thinking of the First World War, especially the French commander-in-chief of the front, Gammerin, who believes that as long as he stays within the Maginot Line, the German army will come and bleed on its own. - Okay! It's a wait-and-see tactic.

Will Gammelin listen to Churchill's orders? Impossible, then what did Churchill take to attack Germany? There were no troops to carry out Churchill's offensive plan, so he could only immediately deploy troops now, but now that it was September 1, Germany would launch a "blitzkrieg" against Poland on September 3, and Churchill would not have time to do so, and it seemed that a "sit-down war" would be inevitable.

At noon on September 2, 39, King George VI of England issued a declaration of war against Germany (one day earlier than in history):

"On the occasion of the autumn of survival, when the cover of the ages hangs upside down, the widow proclaims to every subject at home and abroad, and the meaning of this heart reaches everyone, that is, as the widow speaks in front of him. Most of our citizens have now experienced the war for the second time. We have repeatedly tried to reconcile the dispute between us and our enemy, but in vain. Now he is forced to face the battle, and he is led by no way to provoke the front. Its road is good, and the world's avenue is lost. It allows a country to abandon its promise with the selfish interests of power and hegemony; He allowed to increase the number of troops against other countries and threatened and intimidated them in order to infringe on sovereignty and independence. If the disguise is removed, the truth will be revealed, which is the power and reason. If it is poisonous to the world, the freedom of our country and even the whole British Commonwealth will be put to rest.

What's more, under the whole world, the people of Zhaomin have been worried since then; Within all nations, it is difficult to overturn the world in the peaceful rule of justice and freedom. This sincerity is also a major event of life and death. That's why we use the Baowu way, and our generation has to face the enemy's provocation. The widow calls my subjects at home and abroad, and each of them is brave enough to take up his mission. At this time of trial, please wait for you to become a city calmly, and everyone will have the same hatred. It may be hardship, or it will be mourned, and the calamity of the soldiers will extend beyond the battle, but we only know what is righteous, and pray for God's blessing. If we and others are truly loyal to God, and we are fortunate to rely on God, our way will be attained.

Only God Zuo I am also. (not original)

George VI, a stuttering king, was finally able to give a full speech, of course, only reading it to the draft, but it was still a big step forward for King George VI.

The speech of King George VI of England completely aroused the enthusiasm of the British people, and everyone took to the streets to demand the most ruthless blow and the bloodiest revenge against Germany immediately, and young people also enthusiastically joined the army.
