Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Crazy Brit (Part II)
It's miserable to run naked, so let's get some recommendation tickets, right?
……
"So...... Even if it is a bad relationship with France, even if France hates it because of it, I will not regret it! ”
The man who was talking was a fat man, who was not simply fat, he had a prominent family background and an astonishing background, and at the same time, he was definitely more shameless than ordinary people as a politician.
What is shame for politicians? As long as they can accomplish their purpose and put on a disguise called "patriotism" like a fig leaf, then they can do anything in a grand manner.
The fat man's full name is Winston. Leonard. Spencer. Winston Churchill, who was part of the new British cabinet. Previously, he resigned in November of the same year for his defeat in the Battle of Gelibolu in the Black Sea Straits in 1915. However, with his prominent identity background, he is destined to rise again as long as he "avoids the limelight".
This time the British bombing of the French cities came from Churchill, who kept making remarks, the core of which was that he insisted that the French would not work, and that they would soon throw themselves into the arms of the Germans and attack Britain in turn.
If France became mortal enemies with Germany only after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, then France and England fought wars more than once, most famously and for a long time, the Hundred Years' War between 1337 and 1453.
The "Hundred Years' War" may be a thing of the past, but it was led by Britain to form a campaign against Napoleon. France, led by Bonama, has been carrying out several "anti-French coalitions" that are not too long ago, right?
Many more of the lesser-known confrontations between Britain and France are too numerous to count.
Britain and France are now allies only because France lost to Prussia in the Franco-Prussian War, and the French lost badly enough, and the humiliation of Wilhelm I's accession to the throne as German Emperor at the Palace of Versailles is also painful.
The Prussians took up the Bonamanian dynasty and brought France into the era of the Third Republic, and then the Prussians united with other kingdoms, city-states, and free cities to form the German Empire, which was not a "Shinra" but an unprecedented threat to France.
The so-called threat does not only refer to Germany's long connected borders, but also refers to the fact that the Second German Reich had to seek overseas colonies after its industrial development, and the newly rising Second German Reich made Britain vigilant enough, and the British began to play the trick of "pulling the second child and flattening the boss", so that Britain and France, two countries with a lot of blood debts to each other, reluctantly came together. Other than that...... In fact, thanks to the Russian Tsar, otherwise it is still unknown whether Britain and France can come together.
Since they are reluctantly coming together, it is really difficult to say whether they can be happy or not, and Britain and France have only forcibly suppressed the contradictions, not that there are no contradictions between each other. So, Churchill's remarks that France was unreliable were not without market in Britain.
"We are bombing French cities, but our starting point is to fight Germany!" Churchill's face was full of seriousness, glancing at the supporters of his remarks, and he said: "Germany is already short of supplies, and they have implemented a system of rationing to ensure the stability of society, but often they cannot maintain even the most basic rations." In this situation, they could not feed the French in the occupied zone, and the war was bound to have a favorable effect on the British. ”
See, it's that simple, Britain won't care what happens to the French when they're hungry, and they won't care how many French people will starve to death, because that's the German "pot". As long as there was a famine in the French-occupied areas of the German army, even if it was caused by British bombing, it was definitely not the fault of Britain.
It's not that no one objected to Churchill, but it was useless. When Britain finds that the war is starting to go against them, they will use all kinds of means to save it, even if there is some opposition, or directly blame Churchill, but soon this part of the people will shut up, because they are also British.
From the point of view of the British, they should do what is good for Britain, not to give up British interests for the sake of foreigners. A few people who repeatedly opposed Churchill even dared to point at their heads and call "traitors" because the British were only responsible to Britain.
The fat man who "won the war but lost the empire", the fat man who fled from "the biggest and most painful defeat and made a speech a victory", his words are usually very sharp, especially after the bombing was effective, he ignored the French who were killed and wounded in the bombing, and only talked about how much damage the bombing caused to Germany.
Indeed, the bombing of French cities by the British Air Force caused more trouble to Germany than expected, because there was no more brazen person in Germany than Churchill who could not ignore the French people who had been displaced by the bombing. In this way, Germany needed to provide the French with the necessary diet and food, which further exacerbated the lack of supplies in Germany.
"I've never seen anyone so brazen as you!" Paul. Dume, a member of the French Senate, was actually Corsican and not French, but that did not prevent him from denouncing Churchill. He looked angry and raised his hand to Churchill, whose face was stunned, and shouted: "France is still an ally of Great Britain at present, how can you do that in a grand manner!" ”
"There are always inevitable casualties in war, and in order to be able to win a war, some sacrifices are always worth it. This sentence seems to come from the mouth of the French, right? "Churchill didn't know Paul. When did Du Mei come over, his eyes were full of gloom and he glanced at the doorman in charge of guarding the door. This salon was supposed to have only its own people.
Then Churchill to Paul. Du Mei shrugged his shoulders and said with a righteous expression: "Those people are just a necessary sacrifice for our victory. If, because of this, we are victorious, you should be grateful to me, not hateful to me. Because it is my opinion, in the end, let you exchange a short period of labor pain, from the long-term enslavement of the Germans! ”
Paul. Du Mei actually came to Churchill on behalf of the French government to protest against the bombing of French cities, and he prepared a lot of words before he came, but at this moment he found that he could not say a word in the face of Churchill's face. It wasn't that he was knocked down by Churchill's statement, it was that he was about to be so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out of his mouth, and he realized that no reason made sense in the face of such a person.
A burst of applause was slapped by various British listeners, and they didn't even know which guy shouted "Long live the Anglo-French friendship!" ”。
Paul. Dumei took a deep look at Churchill, who had a very righteous expression, and then he looked at the British, who were clapping, and he left a sentence "You will regret it!" He turned away from what seemed to him to be a dirty place.
