Churchill is also anxious about this matter! He was urgently summoned to the palace by King George VI, who summoned Churchill in the Imperial Study.

George VI had a severe stutter, and although it was corrected a lot during this time, he still stuttered a little:

"Churchill...... Prime Minister, I heard...... Germany...... 7th Panzer Corps...... To attack...... Gibraltar is fortified. ”

Although the King of England does not have much actual power, the King is a symbol of Britain and a sign of British unity, and the King of England has high prestige in the hearts of the British people.

The British king's inheritance is all inherited by blood, and the bloodline of the British king has been inherited for more than 2,000 years.

It is the change of dynasty caused by the extinction of the previous monarch, and because all the monarchs of Europe intermarry with each other, most of them are related by blood.

When the previous king succeeded to the throne because of his extinction, England would choose the person with the closest blood to inherit the throne.

For example, Elizabeth I, the last ruler of the Tudor dynasty, was not married and was known as the virgin queen, and Elizabeth I had no children to inherit her throne.

After Elizabeth I's death, James VI of Scotland succeeded to the throne, and the Windsor dynasty began.

A throne that has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, in the minds of the British people, has gone beyond the concept of a national monarch, and the British king has evolved into the spiritual belief and spiritual pillar of the British people.

In front of Churchill and King George VI, there is only a respectful part, because George VI is the spiritual belief and spiritual pillar of the British people.

Churchill nodded to George VI and then replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, the German Seventh Panzer Corps has set out for Spain, and Spain has agreed to Germany's request for a passage."

King George VI's face was pale, and Gibraltar was so important to Britain that eighty percent of the material that Britain plundered from its colonies was on the Mediterranean route.

As long as Germany took the fortress of Gibraltar, Britain's Mediterranean route would be completely cut off, and Britain would have to make a detour of more than 20,000 nautical miles from the Cape of Good Hope to obtain material supplies from the colonies.

In this way, Germany's "wolf pack" hidden under the Atlantic Ocean will have to "eat a big meal", and Britain, which is already extremely materially strained, will have to collapse.

Churchill the warmonger had to give George VI a reassurance, and the king's will to resist must not collapse, so Churchill immediately straightened his chest and replied with confidence:

"Your Majesty, the fortress of Gibraltar is the strongest fortress in the world, and our fortress is all dug in a hard mountain, and the thickness of the top of the mountain is as high as tens of meters, and there is no bomb in the world that can explode such a strong and thick bomb.

So rest assured that our fortress of Gibraltar is impregnable, and even if the 7th Panzer Army, the most elite of Germany, were to attack the fortress of Gibraltar, we would inflict heavy casualties on them.

Victory must belong to the British Empire, which will surely let the Seventh Panzer Corps run into a bloody mess in front of the fortress of Gibraltar.

This time, we want to discredit the Seventh Panzer Army, and we will definitely be able to knock Rommel's Nazi general off the altar, please wait and see from the king. ”

Churchill spoke with a foaming and passionate expression, and George VI was really confused by Churchill, a cunning politician:

"That'...... That's good...... Thank you for your hard work. ”

"Your Majesty, this is my duty, not to mention hard work, for the honor of the British Empire, I am willing to give everything I have, including my life."

Churchill reassured George VI, who ostensibly swore to George VI that the fort of Gibraltar was impregnable.

But he was really a little afraid of Rommel, this Nazi god of war had too many magic, for example, he heard from the retreating soldiers that the artillery commanded by Rommel was extremely accurate.

Immediately after leaving Buckingham Palace, Churchill returned to the Prime Minister's Office and ordered the British Home Fleet to send one aircraft carrier, two battleships to support Gibraltar, and a division of infantry.

As a result, Gibraltar's H Fleet had a strong force of four battleships, two aircraft carriers, seven cruisers, more than a dozen destroyers.

And the number of troops stationed in the fortress of Gibraltar will also reach more than 30,000 people, such a strong fortress, if there are many defensive forces, there are also sufficient reserves of weapons, ammunition and materials.

Churchill really didn't believe that the German Seventh Panzer Army could take the fortress of Gibraltar with just a few examples. After Churchill sent reinforcements to the fortress of Gibraltar, he was still distraught, which was all killed by the damned German Seventh Panzer Army, which provoked Churchill to curse Rommel again.

Since the British "Times" reported that Rommel was going to attack the fortress of Gibraltar, the British people were boiling now, some panicked, and some wanted to wait for Rommel to win another brilliant victory.

Are the Englishmen who are eager for Rommel to continue writing myths crazy? They weren't mad, it was the hero-worshipping minds of England at work.

Let's listen to a random interview with a British reporter on the street, and the reporter first blocked a young man:

"Hello sir, can I interview you?"

"Absolutely."

"General Rommel is about to attack the fortress of Gibraltar in the British Empire, what kind of outcome do you hope to have?"

Without thinking about it, the young man who was interviewed replied:

"I hope General Rommel wins."

The reporter opened his mouth wide and looked in disbelief at the young British man in front of him, who actually hoped that Britain would lose the war, which was simply incredible.

"Excuse me, sir, why do you have such thoughts?"

The question was a little more difficult, and the young British man interviewed thought for a moment before answering:

"Because General Rommel is a great general, he is a god of war, and I long for Rommel to continue to write his brilliant achievements."

Although the reporter hated this British squirting of virtue to death, as a reporter, he still had to continue his interview:

"Excuse me, sir, do you know that Rommel was a general of Nazi Germany, and Nazi Germany was an enemy of the British Empire."

The interviewed young Englishman shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, which was obviously an expression of indifference:

"What's the matter with me? I just came out to buy soy sauce...... I worship only heroes, not the lost dogs who fled from Dunkirk with their tails between their legs. ”

The reporter was so angry that his face turned pale, but what the young man said also made sense! It's a God reply.
