Rommel's six panzer divisions went directly around the flank of the Allied forces, and then launched a fierce assault, which had affected the morale of the Allied troops again and again by attacking the German defense line without any achievements, and was suddenly killed by the Germans from the flank and behind, like dominoes, and collapsed at once. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The German armored division was already very powerful, and Rommel's enhanced version of the elite armored division was even more terrifying, not to mention that the morale of the Allies was already low, even if they were in their prime, it was probably difficult to match.

The retreat has not yet been opened, and now the back road has been copied by Rommel, which is undoubtedly the news of the five thunderstorms for the Allies, and millions of troops cannot be saved, and even the rescue of millions of troops will have to be put in.

"This is the trap, the trap, the trap designed by the Germans." There was a gloom over the Allied headquarters, but few people proposed to send reinforcements to the rescue, because they knew that if they put in more troops, they would probably not return.

London had become a huge sinkhole, built by the Germans into a huge sinkhole, constantly devouring the Allied forces, and the Allied command had lost any hope of fighting in the London area, and they were now only praying that they could break through as many troops as possible.

The rapid deterioration of the war situation made it clear to the Allied leadership that once the Allied forces committed to the London area suffered heavy losses, it would quickly change the balance of power in the British Isles.

Although the British Empire has a vast colony, its mainland is a small island country with no depth of defense, and it has no ability to fight a protracted war like China at the beginning.

Of course, Britain still has some north-south depth, and if you make up your mind, you can still hold on for some time, but how much point does this have? France should have had an advantage over the British Empire, and the army was still claimed to be the strongest in Europe, but when the German army approached the city of Paris, it surrendered directly before it really started.

The British Empire remained arrogant and did not make the same choice as the French to defend the capital to the death, and as a result, the lives of three or four million troops were directly threatened, which was not a small price.

At this time, it is difficult for people to laugh at the choice of the French at the beginning.

"The British mainland is no longer suitable for defense, let's immediately seize the time to withdraw, only by preserving strength, can we counterattack later......" Most military commanders expressed their suggestions from a military point of view, including not only American commanders, but also British commanders.

This did not do anything *** The Battle of Dun can already be confirmed to be a failure, and the nearly four million troops are already the main force that can be taken in the British Isles, and in the face of the encirclement and suppression of more than 3 million superior German troops, their fate is almost predictable.

After these nearly four million troops were eaten, it was no longer possible for the British Isles to have much strength to compete with the German army, at most it was just a period of time, and if they did not leave, they could only stay and destroy with the British Isles.

Compared with the choice of giving up London, abandoning the British Isles was undoubtedly a more difficult choice for Churchill, although he was a politician, not a military strategist, but he knew very well that the only way to stay was to destroy, to leave temporarily, and there was the possibility of a counteroffensive in the future.

On 1 April, the million-strong Allied forces rescuing the Allied forces in London were attacked by a combined blow from Rommel's Panzer Division and the Germans defending the counterattack, and the entire line collapsed and the main forces were wiped out. The Germans claimed to have killed or wounded more than 580,000 Allied troops and captured 340,000.

After destroying the Allied army's million-dollar rescue army, the German army completely locked the line from Bristol Bay to Water's Bay, leaving the remaining 2 million troops in the London area almost no way to escape, and the main German army also stepped up the encirclement and suppression.

Faced with a sharp turn in the war, the arrogant Churchill finally made the decision to abandon his homeland, which was also approved by the royal family.

For the British Empire, the former empire on which the sun never sets, gave up its homeland, and there were many places they could go, including the Commonwealth countries, vast colonies, and the United States, an ally.

After discussion, the British top brass first vetoed the decision to go into exile in the United States, after all, they also knew what it would feel like to be a head shorter in someone else's home, even if it was this so-called close ally.

In the end, the British top management selected several suitable destinations, the most important of which were concentrated in two locations, one in Australia and the other in Canada.

After discussion, Churchill chose Australia because he felt that Australia's strategic location was more important than Canada's, and that Southeast Asia also had a significant British interest.

Another point is that in the minds of the British, the British Empire has been crippled by the German army, and apart from the slightly better preserved navy, the British Empire is no longer much of a threat to the Great German Empire.

Eliminate the threat of the British Empire, then, the next target of the Germans, needless to say, will also be the United States.

If the British Empire had been exiled to Canada and had become neighbors with the United States, then when the German army attacked the United States, the British Empire, as an ally, would probably have to help with all its might.

But if it is exile to Australia, then the situation is different, after all, Australia is far away from the Americas, and even if the British Empire needs help, it does not need to go all out, just as the United States will not go all out to help Britain hold its homeland now.

The British also felt that if the United States drew the attention of the Germans, it would also help the British Empire to recuperate for a while, which would also be the capital for a comeback.

Of course, exile to Australia will not be smooth sailing, after all, in Southeast Asia, there is still a little Japan that is constantly making trouble, but for the British, the strength of little Japan is far worse than Germany, and they have already occupied a vast area of Southeast Asia, and it is not so easy to swallow Australia again.

The British believed that Australia would sooner or later be the target of the Japanese, but with Australia's existing military strength, it was not enough to resist the Japanese attack, and it still needed the help of the Allies, and the British Empire's exile to Australia was also conducive to the defense of Australia.

Finally, after many considerations, the British chose Australia as their place of exile.

After this decision was made, Churchill informed the top brass of the Allied countries, including the heads of other countries in exile in Britain.

For the other heads of affairs in exile in Britain, this is an internal matter of Britain, and they have no right to interfere, only to blame themselves for their own bad luck, and the backer of Britain has fallen, and they are going to wander again.

However, most of these people felt that the British Empire was gone, and the last hope of the Allies was only the United States, so almost all of them chose to run to the United States, and the Americans were also very popular.

Roosevelt was not surprised that the British chose to go to Australia, but he did not object to it, and the Asia-Pacific region also has a lot of interests of the United States, especially a small Japan that is making trouble, and the US military can't spare time to repair it now, so the British will leave it to them.

Since there was no opposition to the British Empire's plan to go into exile in Australia, it was quickly implemented.
