Chapter 104: Powerless

"I think General Rommel, he is a great general, he is a general with a chivalrous spirit.

His men were disciplined and never harassed the civilian population, and Rommel never killed prisoners of war and gave them full human rights and dignity.

I am proud to have such a great adversary, and we in the British Empire are full of glory and confidence in having such a great general as Rommel to have an adversary, because good can never triumph over evil.

Although Rommel was a great general, he had unparalleled tactical skills, and he also took the new tactical theory of the new type of blitzkrieg to the extreme.

As the interim Prime Minister of the British Cabinet, I admit that none of our generals at the beginning of the war were opponents of General Rommel.

But our generals now know General Rommel's tactics, and they are learning and comprehending Rommel's tactical thinking.

Our generals are growing, like General Montgomery, and I am sure that our generals will soon be on par with Rommel on the battlefield. ”

Silence, the participants did not understand why Churchill suddenly sang the praises of Rommel, knowing that General Rommel was an enemy.

During this time, many newspapers in Britain were reporting on Rommel, which has made Rommel a household name in Britain.

Now, if Churchill's words are published in the newspaper, Rommel's fame can even surpass that of Churchill, and even the British royal family is not as famous as Rommel in Britain.

After a while, someone finally understood, and he couldn't help but blurt out:

"That's right! It's not that our army is too incompetent, but that Rommel is too powerful. ”

Churchill looked at the cabinet minister who blurted out and "spewed feces", and he had an urge to slap his fat face with the sole of his shoe, Churchill was the prime minister in the end, and he resisted the impulse.

As soon as the members of his cabinet were reminded by this man, they immediately understood what Churchill meant, and they almost secretly slandered the cabinet minister blurted out in their hearts:

"**** melon baby, can't you be tactful? This is a naked, naked and naked slap in the face! ”

"This turtle son is really stupid, can you say this? You can only understand it, but you can't say it. (This group of British cabinet members of **** went to Hebei Province for a meeting...... Hey. )

"Ahem," Churchill continued with two coughs:

"Do you have any opinions about Rommel?"

Several cabinet ministers present at the meeting discussed in small voices for a while, and then began to speak in turn:

"I think we can do that, Mr. Prime Minister, it has been made very clear that we have lost to Rommel.

That's because Rommel used a brand new, never-before-seen blitzkrieg, and it wasn't our fault.

I think we should tell all the soldiers and the people that the defeat of the British Empire was not a human fault.

Now that we've seen Rommel's blitzkrieg, we've found a way to deal with it.

I believe that the next time there is a war, Rommel's blitzkrieg will be completely useless, and Rommel will become a defeated subordinate of the British Empire. ”

As soon as Churchill heard the words of the cabinet minister, he immediately stood up with excitement and asked eagerly:

"Did you find a way to crack the Blitzkrieg? Tell me about it. ”

The Cabinet Minister, who had spoken, immediately replied whimsically:

"Dear Mr. Prime Minister, I, I have not found a solution to the Blitzkrieg."

Everyone immediately fainted, your turtle son didn't find a way to crack the blitzkrieg, then your turtle son is foolish! These words will be published in the newspaper after they have been sorted out.

Churchill's old eyes stared at the cabinet minister who was speaking, and his eyeballs were rolling in his sockets, and people who didn't know Churchill thought that Churchill was going to be a thief and steal!

"Okay, just according to what he said, we've found a way to crack the blitzkrieg."

The following cabinet members immediately looked at each other You look at me, I look at you, they don't understand what Churchill meant by this.

"Mr. Prime Minister, obviously we haven't found a way to crack the blitzkrieg, why do we have to lie, in case the reporter asks us how to answer."

Churchill nodded and replied:

"It's just a morale boost, don't you understand?"

Churchill's trick was made out of nothing, and it was still used very smoothly, at this time the British morale was low and the people's morale was weak, and it was reasonable for Churchill to use this trick.

It can be seen that Churchill is still very capable, if Churchill is not capable, he can no longer be called a warmonger, and a person without ability cannot be a warmonger.

Churchill then discussed with his cabinet members how to prevent the Soviets from helping China transport rare metal ores to Germany.

Several people discussed for a long time, but they didn't have much clue, and in the end it was Churchill who made the decision and used the method of inducement against the Soviet Union.

Simply put, Churchill intended to co-opt Stalin in the USSR with money and material. It is no longer possible for Britain to stop this completely.

Churchill retreated, and he demanded that the negotiators who went to the Soviet Union agree to interrupt the transportation of rare metal ores as soon as possible after the failure of the German attack on Britain.

Churchill's condition was repeatedly considered and deliberated by him, and it was extremely feasible and very suitable for the current reality of the Soviet Union.

The wartime cabinet immediately adopted Churchill's proposal, and this resolution was immediately sent to the British ambassador to the Soviet Union, who was responsible for negotiating with Stalin.

Two days later, the British ambassador to the Soviet Union sent a telegram saying that Stalin had agreed to Churchill's request.

But Stalin needed Britain to supply the USSR with three thousand tanks, three thousand Spitfires.

At this time, Britain was able to provide so many tanks and planes for the Soviet Union, and during the French campaign, the British army lost all its heavy equipment and lost heavy aircraft.

At present, there are only more than 300 tanks in Britain, and there are two squadrons of Spitfires, and there are some tanks and planes urgently purchased from the United States.

But where did these weapons and equipment dare to be used to support the Soviet Union, Germany was about to attack Britain itself, and the British still used the gold they had accumulated for hundreds of years to buy weapons and equipment in the United States!

In addition, the Germans' hateful U2 submarine is also haunted, and every day it sneaks up on merchant ships bound for Britain in the Atlantic.

More than half of the weapons and equipment that Britain bought from the United States, and the grain and minerals that it looted from the colonies, were sent to the bottom by damned German submarines.

What did Churchill give to Stalin? Weapons and equipment Churchill could not take out, even money, Churchill could not take out.

Two wars in a row have already made the British Empire unable to make ends meet, and soon the world's boss will be shy to borrow money from the United States, the second oldest, to live. (The Lend-Lease Act in the United States was tailor-made for the British.) )

Churchill had no way to meet Stalin's demands, so Britain's plan to obstruct them could not be implemented for the time being.

By this time, Germany had begun to launch aircraft to tentatively attack the British coast, and the air battle of Great Britain was about to begin in full swing.

Churchill no longer has the energy to add to the blockage of others, and guarding his own one-third of an acre is Churchill's most important thing at present, and Churchill still has a clear distinction between the main and secondary points.
