Chapter 307: Elizabeth's Strategy (Part I)
Churchill is also anxious under the pessimistic and desperate mood of the people, and desperately hopes to regain the British people's belief in victory, and now Elizabeth, the first heir to the British king, is still alive, which makes Churchill breathe a sigh of relief, as for whether Elizabeth is unmarried and has children, that is not Churchill's business.
Elizabeth's coronation ceremony was held on the third day after the funeral of King George VI, and Princess Elizabeth also gave a very famous speech, calling on all British citizens to unite against German aggression and defend the British Empire by God's grace.
"I am Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and other Territories and Dependencies, Head of the Commonwealth, and Defender of the Anglican Church (Anglican Church)". He is currently the monarch of the United Kingdom, the head of state of the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and 15 member states, and the ......supreme head of the Anglican Church.
At this solemn moment, perhaps the most life-and-death moment in the history of our country, I convey the message to every one of you, wherever you may be, and I feel the same way for you, and I hope to go from house to house to tell you that most of us will face an existential war for the British Empire.
Our former Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain has repeatedly sought to resolve disputes between nations by peaceful means, but it has all been in vain, we have been forced to get involved in this war, we must accept this challenge, if Hitler prevails, even the civilized order will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and this belief has faded from its disguise, and it is only a naked pursuit of power, in order to defend everything that we hold dear. We must rise to that challenge for that noble purpose.
I appeal to the people at home and abroad to take this as their duty, and I implore everyone to remain calm and steadfast, to unite in the face of the test, which is severe, and we will face a difficult time, and the war is not limited to the front line, and only with justice in our hearts can we do it right, and we hereby sincerely pray to God, as long as everyone is firm in their faith. With God's help. We will win! ”
Elizabeth's speech instantly raised the morale of the British military and the people, and everyone seemed to have a backbone, the most important thing is that Elizabeth did not escape the air raids of German aircraft. After the bombing of German planes. Elizabeth would always show up with her butler or minister at the scene of the disaster. personally commanded the disaster relief, which made the ordinary British people in Britain trust the British royal family even more, and Elizabeth had just given birth to a child. Her body was still very weak and she definitely needed to recuperate, but for the sake of the British Empire, Elizabeth did not care about her body.
But the stubborn Elizabeth gritted her teeth and persevered, as for Elizabeth's son's breastfeeding, there is no need for Elizabeth to worry, of course the royal family has a wet nurse in charge, in times of war, there is absolutely no gossip tabloid will be blind, to dig up the gossip news of the royal family, at least the British gossip tabloids will not, and it is difficult to say about other countries.
For example, some gossip tabloids in the United States reported Elizabeth's performance in the war, of course, these newspapers gave Elizabeth countless words of praise, but as soon as these gossip tabloids turned their pen, they focused their eyes on Elizabeth's two sons, and there was no way to hide this.
Curiosity is always the psychological needs of the general public, especially in times of war, everyone needs some curious things to disperse tension, American gossip people have speculated that Elizabeth's son was born to Elizabeth, if it weren't for the war, Americans can't go to Germany to dig the inside story, otherwise these good people would have already investigated Elizabeth's son's life experience, and its effect is better than human flesh search.
……
Elizabeth, as the head of the Commonwealth, is the natural commander of the three armed forces, and the British royal family rarely holds the actual government position under normal circumstances, but it is a different matter in extraordinary times, so Elizabeth, the nominal head of the Commonwealth, began to exercise real power, and personally commanded all the armies of the Commonwealth to begin the war against Germany, of course, Elizabeth Führer only formulated major issues of strategic direction, and the tactical aspect was still Churchill's decision, so that Elizabeth would not touch Churchill's power.
As the saying goes: "If you want to learn, sleep with the master." The meaning of this sentence is that if the apprentice wants to learn all the skills of the master, only by sleeping with the master can the master learn the skills of the master. Elizabeth did it, and even her son helped Li Mo give birth.
However, there are many reasons for determining the outcome of the war, not that if Führer Elizabeth learns a little strategy and tactics, she will definitely be able to command the Commonwealth army to gallop across the country, this also depends on the country's scientific and technological capabilities, the quality and morale of the soldiers, and so on, but the correct strategy and tactics are the prerequisites for victory, no matter how powerful the army, if it is blindly commanded, it is bound to be defeated, France is a clear example, and Germany was wiped out in more than ten days.
Elizabeth's office became her general headquarters, now filled with maps and sand tables, as well as numerous staff officers who had been drawn in, and even the offices of several important figures in the wartime cabinet had been relocated to Buckingham Palace, which made it easier to contact and command troops.
As for the US strategy, Elizabeth of course hopes that the United States will directly send troops to the Middle East and directly threaten the belly of Germany and Romania, an oil-producing country, but the United States will not do this, and Elizabeth also knows that the United States cannot use all its military strength to fight Germany, which is absolutely not in line with the national interests of the United States. But it is still okay to ask the United States to send a fleet to the English Channel to exercise.
The Americans will not send troops, only let Elizabeth, the head of the British Commonwealth, order, Elizabeth to order 500,000 troops and servant troops in Iran, India, Australia and other colonies, including 100,000 British troops and 400,000 servant troops, to begin to assemble in Iran.
Elizabeth also knew the combat effectiveness of these servant armies, so she didn't plan that they could capture German-occupied Romania at all, but this was just Elizabeth's feint strategy, if she could take advantage of the chaos to blow up a few Romanian oil wells, it would be good, and with these 500,000 British Commonwealth troops on the Iranian border, Germany would have to leave a large number of troops in Romania to defend against possible attacks by the Commonwealth.
These 100,000 British troops plus 400,000 servant troops can at least drag the same number of EU troops, of which the German army will not be less than 200,000, because Romania is too important to Germany, and a considerable part of the number of German armored divisions and aircraft will be dragged in Romania.
