Chapter 330: Misfortune Leads to the East
George VI's stuttering has been treated by the master of language, and he can already talk normally, but the speed of speech is relatively slow, at this time George VI's face is very unpleasant, with a black blue on his white face, and now in such a tense situation, his prime minister and naval secretary actually did it, even if Chamberlain's previous appeasement policy was wrong, the mistake was wrong, it was irreparable, and there was no regret in the world.

The best thing to do here and now is not to hold accountable, but to find a way to resolve the current crisis, if not to resolve it, then to stabilize it.
This is what George VI thought in his heart, in fact, this is also the only correct policy of the British Empire at present, Britain is not ready for a full-scale war at all, especially the appearance of many new weapons in Germany, it can be said that the British coalition has no hope of victory at all, and there is no hope at all.
In order to stabilize the situation, it is necessary to anesthetize the new German Führer Rommel, which means that Britain must let Neville Chamberlain be the prime minister, so that he can continue to deal with the Führer Rommel, and Churchill will continue to serve as the admiralty.
Didn't Chamberlain talk about pacifism? Then let him take the halo of prime minister to Berlin, Germany, to talk to Rommel for as long as possible, while in Britain, under the covert auspices of Churchill, to speed up the expansion of armaments.
Since Britain participated in World War II, the losses have been too huge, and coupled with Germany's unrestricted submarine warfare, Britain simply does not have enough resources to produce weapons and equipment, even if it is purchased from the United States, it is difficult to send it to the British mainland under the attack of German submarines.
So Britain really needs time to rearm itself, and when Germany and Britain really start, that is, when Chamberlain is completely out of power.
Now Britain needs Chamberlain at the national level, and at the same time Britain also needs the hawk Churchill, for the upcoming life-and-death decisive battle between Germany and Britain, Chamberlain and Churchill are both the people to be protected by George VI, one is useful now, the other is useful in the future, and both are indispensable.
Chamberlain's previous policy mistakes should not be pursued for the time being, because holding Chamberlain accountable will not benefit Britain in any way, and will also discredit the whole of Britain, and the entire British-led coalition is likely to fall apart because of the Chamberlain affair.
Although the king of England stuttered, the brilliant George VI obviously would not do such a stupid thing.
"Two Aiqing, you don't have to argue, I also understand the current situation, it is a test of life and death for our British Empire, so you must be sincere and united, don't be rash, there are so many allies watching us outside, right!
When the new German Führer Rommel took office, I heard from the intelligence service that Hitler attacked the Soviet Union as planned when he was dying, and this was an opportunity for our British Empire.
At this time, Germany was at the height of its military front, and it was better for us to stay away from the front for the time being, and my opinion is this: Churchill resigned from the post of prime minister and assumed the post of secretary of the navy and minister of the ministry, and all the work of expanding armaments and warfare was in charge of Churchill.
And Chamberlain resigned as President of the Privy Council and continued to serve as Prime Minister in the wartime cabinet, and your task was to start peace negotiations with Germany, and the longer this negotiation was possible, preferably for a year or two.
I think that by that time Churchill had completed all the work of expanding the armament war, and Germany and the Soviet Union had lost both, and that was when the British Empire would regain its glory......"
After listening to George VI's words, Churchill and Chamberlain first looked at each other, and soon the two understood that the king's method was good! The two who understood it sent words of praise to George VI:
"Great and holy Your Majesty, this is a wonderful idea."
"Wise Your Majesty, you are truly the embodiment of wisdom."
George VI waved his hand, which means that the two of you are not sycophants in the first place, so don't be ugly here:
"Prime Minister Chamberlain, tell me about the specific strategic arrangements and plans!"
Since the king spoke, Chamberlain and Churchill were not raising the bar, in reality, Chamberlain and Churchill had been friends for a long time, and Chamberlain also knew Churchill's talents, and their disputes and contradictions were completely policy disputes, not personal grudges.
Chamberlain straightened out his clothes, and then began to report his strategy to the king:
"Your Majesty, I think you know very well the current situation, Germany has developed a lot of advanced weapons behind our backs, and a lot of weapons and equipment are beyond our control.
I also heard that Rommel also has several weapons and equipment with excellent performance, although we do not have specific information on these weapons at present, just because these weapons and equipment were funded and developed by Rommel, then these weapons are definitely quite advanced and terrifying, and our tanks and planes are tofu scum in front of them.
So we have to stabilize Germany, stabilize Rommel, and reassure him that he will attack the Soviet Union according to the plan formulated by Hitler, so that we can cause trouble and we will have enough time to prepare for war and develop weapons.
When Germany and the Soviet Union are exhausted and both sides are defeated, we will unite with the Soviet Union to attack Germany on both sides, so that we can completely defeat Germany and Rommel to the ground, so that he will never turn over. ”
This method is good, George VI also intends to do so, the two coincide, George VI nodded appreciatively, his face was slightly better, and then continued to ask:
"My Prime Minister, can you guarantee that Germany will attack the Soviet Union? Can't! It is impossible for Hilommel to listen to us. ”
"Ahem...... Chamberlain cleared his throat and continued to patiently explain to King George VI.
"Your Majesty, the information concerning the German attack on the Soviet Union has been sent by our senior intelligence officer, and according to him it is really reliable.
Because Germany's plan to attack the Soviet Union was formulated by Hitler during his lifetime, and Hitler gave Rommel a separate account when he was dying, Rommel, the new Führer, would definitely attack the Soviet Union on time, and this could not be changed, otherwise Rommel's legitimate inheritance would be questioned.
The relationship between countries is a relationship of interests, but I believe that what Rommel desires most is territory and resources, especially resources, Germany is poor in resources, this is well known, and Rommel wants to obtain these, among the countries around Germany, only the Soviet Union can meet this condition, if we give Rommel enough benefits, I believe that Rommel will make a decision more favorable to Germany, that is, to attack the Soviet Union as scheduled and realize our strategy - to divert the water from the east. ”
George VI did not speak immediately, but pondered for a moment before continuing to ask:
"My Prime Minister, then our bottom line is there, and what we can give to Germany must have a bottom line." (To be continued.) )
