The British also knew that the combat effectiveness of the colonial army was limited, so as soon as they arrived in South Africa, they did not dare to stop at all and immediately began to retreat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because South Africa was a long way from Australia, the British knew that they only had one chance, and the Germans could not give them enough time to make the round-trip. This point is understood by the high-level and most of the people at the bottom, but there are many people and few boats, and it is obvious that some people are going to be abandoned.

In the planning of the British, the colonial army and the colonial personnel were to be abandoned, on the one hand, because the combat effectiveness of the colonial army was not as good as the troops they chose to stay from the British mainland, and on the other hand, if these people in the colonies were counted in the regrouping, it would be a lot of time to waste, and the most scarce thing now is time.

Therefore, in order not to waste time, the British top brass decided to cut the stone blanket and prepare to abandon all but a few important people who managed the colonies, and transfer them to the front line to stop the German army and buy more time for the retreating personnel.

If it was when the British Empire was strong, it would never have made this choice, the stronger the country, the more important the ideology and life of the people, and only the lives of weak countries are worthless.

And now, the British Empire has been pulled off the altar, and human life has been looked down on more and more, after all, even the country has been abandoned, and what else cannot be abandoned.

However, the people at the bottom could not accept this fact, because this change was too big, if it was before, if anyone dared to threaten the lives of the people of the British Empire, the entire empire could even directly send troops to start a war.

But now, their lives are no longer valuable, not only can other countries torture and kill at will, but even their own motherland thinks they are a burden and want to give up, how sad this gap is.

Many British people in the colonies began to protest, not wanting to carry out orders, they did not want to be abandoned, and they did not want to risk their lives to fight for a bloody path for those who escaped.

Britain's top brass no longer has so much time and energy to appease these people's emotions, and every minute of delay is more dangerous.

As a result, the British troops who withdrew from the mainland directly suppressed them by force, and the two armies were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when the catastrophe came, and the Germans had not yet fought, they themselves had civil strife first, and the native army and the colonial army did it.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger and bigger, Churchill and the queen had no choice but to immediately go ashore and make a public speech at the risk of danger, his meaning was very simple, the British Empire had faced an unprecedented crisis, and in the face of this situation, for the future of the British Empire, some people must make temporary sacrifices, and only in this way could the British Empire have a chance to counterattack back.

Churchill and the Queen of England promised that when the retreating people left, those who were left behind, without having to fight with the Germans, could surrender to them. And the biggest mission of these retreating people is to grow stronger, and in the future, they must counterattack and return to their homeland to rescue their suffering compatriots.

Churchill and the Queen's speeches were very incendiary, and from the content of his speeches, it was clear that those who retreated had a stronger sense of mission, greater pressure, and heavier responsibilities.

Most people were still impressed by the inflammatory language of Churchill and the Queen, who expressed obedience to orders, and many others knew that the future of the British Empire did not know where it was, and that the road to retreat was long and dangerous.

What's more, even if this retreat is successful, arriving in Australia does not mean that it is safe, and there are still many challenges waiting for them in the future.

It can be said that Churchill and the Queen of England gave up their old faces, which gradually calmed down the unrest, allowed the retreat plan to be implemented again, and most of the main forces of the colonial army were sent to the front.

The distance of the German army is getting closer and closer, the attack is becoming more and more fierce, and what is worse is that the German submarine force has arrived in the waters of South Africa and has begun to launch attacks non-stop.

And most of these ships were ineffective and weak, so in the face of the peeping German submarines, there was almost no resistance and one ship after another was sunk.

The British Navy was powerless in the face of the attack ship's call for help, because their more important task was to protect the personnel on the transport ship with them, which was more important, so they simply did not have the energy to rescue other personnel, and could only leave them to their fate.

The German attacks by sea and land made the retreat of the British even worse, but they were unwilling to sit idly by, so they could only go forward to the risk of attack, trying to separate the retreating ships to avoid the attack of the German submarines.

After all, the number of German submarines was limited, and as long as the ships were as separated as possible, the Germans did not have so much strength to disperse the pursuit, and the chances of survival would be greater.

In fact, the Germans also knew this, so they did not pursue those scattered ships that escaped, unless they hit their heads, they did not bother to strike at all, their main target was the power of the British navy, and they also knew that only this force was the most important force of the British at the moment.

If this force can be dealt a heavy blow, then the living force of the British will be basically wiped out, and they will lose their backbone, and there will be no threat.

After stabilizing the land, Churchill and the Queen of England and other key high-ranking officials quickly boarded the ship without further delay, and immediately retreated to Australia with the main force of the British Navy, because they could not help any longer, but would become more and more dangerous.

As for the personnel who need to be evacuated on land, they have already arranged ships, and the retreat operation can only be carried out on their own.

As soon as the British Navy moved, the German submarine forces were like accompanying wolves, peeping underwater, and immediately launched an attack at the first opportunity, and one after another protected ships or warships were sunk by the German wolf pack tactics.

Although this situation made the British very angry, they were helpless, on the one hand, they did not have an effective means of counterattacking the German submarines, and on the other hand, they did not want to delay time, and they could not gain any benefit from entanglement with the Germans in the Indian Ocean.

As a result, the British marched all the way under the attack of the German army, and paved a bloody road with the lives of a large number of ships and personnel.

It was not until the German submarines had to retreat when they ran out of supplies and ammunition that they were able to take a breather, but at this time, the originally huge fleet had been sparsely sparse a lot, and the price was very heavy.

The British paid the price of two more aircraft carriers, and at this time, the entire Royal Navy of the British Empire had only two aircraft carriers left, and only five battleships left.

Fortunately, the British calculated that the Germans were likely to target aircraft carriers and battleships, so in order to ensure the safety of Churchill and the royal family, the British risked placing them on several destroyers and cruisers.

Although several ships containing important parliamentarians were hit and sunk, Churchill and the royal family were only unattacked, allowing them to be saved and the last bit of the British Empire to be saved.

At this moment, the British probably knew that they were basically safe on the next journey, but the tragedy of running thousands of miles was deeply imprinted on their bodies.

Whether or not this grief can be turned into motivation to restore the glory of the British Empire with these seeds will only have to be seen later.
