The King's flag is still flying over Buckingham Palace today, indicating that the King is still in the palace, and George VI will receive First Chamberlain today.
George VI was very shy before he ascended the throne and suffered from severe stuttering all his life. He was unhappy when he learned that his brother, who had succeeded Edward VIII in 1936, had finally decided to abdicate for marital reasons and would succeed to the throne himself. He ascended the throne at Westminster Abbey on May 12, 1937, and changed his name to George VI. Rogge (lionellogue), came to treat George VI's stuttering problem, after almost a year of treatment, George VI's stuttering problem has improved, but to speak like a normal person, it will take time to continue the treatment.
"Your Majesty, please allow the current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to report to you."
"First ...... Phase-first...... Sheng, you say ....... ”
"Okay, Your Majesty, there has been a very unpleasant border dispute between Germany and the Czech Republic recently, and for the sake of the interests of the British Empire, I have decided to personally visit Berlin, Germany, to resolve this crisis through diplomatic meetings and consultations."
George VI was actually quite handsome and capable, but it was this stuttering problem that made the king have a serious inferiority complex.
"First ...... Phase-first...... Sheng, then I ...... Our position...... What is it, but there are ...... What...... Outline. ”
"Your Majesty the King, before dealing with the border crisis between Germany and the Czech Republic, let us first review the First World War, before the First World War, our British Empire was the world's premier empire, because of the drag of the First World War, our industrial output fell very seriously, while the United States, far from the war, caught up, when we came out of the First World War, and fell into the engulfing economic crisis, almost twenty years after the end of the First World War, we still have not come out of the predicament, Your Majesty, We should now take peace as the main line, diplomacy as a means, and negotiation as the basis, sacrificing a little of the interests of the vassal countries when necessary, in exchange for the peaceful development of the British Empire. ”
"Prime Minister...... First...... Sheng, since you ...... Decided that...... Just do it, I'm afraid of Germany...... Wolf ambition, never ...... Satisfying the appetite that will make us ...... Lose more. ”
"No, Your Majesty the King, we must use peaceful development to get the British Empire out of the economic crisis, so that we can leave the United States, which is closely catching up, far behind, otherwise we will soon lose our economic supremacy, which is too dangerous for the British Empire, and compared to some of the Czech interests we have given up, for us, there is basically no loss, my Majesty, do you think this is okay?"
"Good...... Well, Prime Minister...... Just as you say...... It's done.

Within Chamberlain's British ruling circles, there were differences of opinion on how to deal with the German threat of war. The hardliners against Germany, represented by Churchill, held that Germany's goal was to control the whole of Europe, that the contradictions between Britain and Germany were irreconcilable, that war was approaching, and that it was necessary to strengthen war preparedness, unite with France, the United States, and other relevant countries to form an "armed international alliance" with Britain and France as the core, and readjust relations with the socialist Soviet Union to jointly deal with fascist aggression and expansion. The appeasement faction against Germany, led by Chamberlain, held that taking tough action against Germany would lead to a "general European war" in which Britain would only encounter "unforeseen disasters" and "win nothing," and therefore strongly advocated a policy of appeasement of compromise, concession, and appeasement against Germany's aggression and expansion.
On May 28, 1937, Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minister. He was confident that he "knew the whole situation in Europe and even the whole world very well." Contrary to the style of his predecessors, who did not care much about foreign affairs, he took charge of foreign affairs, did not allow the entire cabinet to participate in foreign policy, acted arbitrarily, and pursued a policy of appeasement. Under the chairmanship of Chamberlain, the British government gradually formed a set of appeasement "master plans" for the so-called "comprehensive settlement" of the European question. The strategic goal of this appeasement plan is to avoid war and seek peace and stabilize the status quo. ensuring British hegemony; Strategic focus in Europe; The most important task is to seek to improve relations with the German and Italian fascists and to practice "friendly cooperation."
The strategic idea is to satisfy the expansion demands of the German and Italian fascists for seizing "living space" by ceding part of their own interests, betraying the interests of Central and Eastern European countries, and sacrificing the socialist Soviet Union through negotiations and secret deals, and on the premise of not harming their fundamental interests, and on this basis, to conclude extensive agreements with the German and Italian fascists, to reach a "general understanding" for the settlement of European issues, to ensure that there is no war in Western Europe, to safeguard vested interests, and to consolidate the existing sphere of influence.
There are doves and hawks in any country, and at this time Britain was in power by Chamberlain's appeasements, and Churchill's hawks were suppressed, did Chamberlain betray Britain because of the appeasement policy? Of course not, Chamberlain can be said to be very patriotic, his approach at the time, it did make sense, it could avoid the British Empire being involved in a war, and Britain could be given more time to heal the wounds of World War I, Chamberlain's tragedy was that he met Hitler, an insatiable man, so that Chamberlain's tragedy was doomed, and the infinite expansion of Germany would definitely threaten Britain.
This time Chamberlain went to Germany to hold talks with Hitler in the hope of signing the "general understanding" he advocated with Hitler, and it is not known whether Hitler would play his cards according to Chamberlain's plan, but Chamberlain can be said to be full of confidence in this trip anyway.
When Chamberlain came out of the parlor of Buckingham Palace, he met George VI's eldest princess outside the gate, Windsor (in order to avoid suspicion, don't write the full name, is Elizabeth Windsor?) You guess, maybe...... Standing at the door with a smile, his skin was brighter than snow, and his eyes were like a pool of clear water, and he turned around Chamberlain's face a few times. This princess is extremely beautiful, really like a pearl of dizziness, beautiful jade, a beautiful white face, with a playful smile on the side of her small mouth, Windsor is tall and peachy, light in body, dignified and elegant in words and deeds. The black hair is like lacquer, the skin is like jade, the beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and there is an indescribable charm between a smile and a smile. She is like a budding peony flower, beautiful but not demonic, glamorous but not vulgar, charming, incomparable There is a noble and elegant royal temperament between the eyebrows.
Princess Windsor is only sixteen years old this year, because of her superior life, Windsor is more precocious than girls of the same age, her body has developed to a relatively good stage, her breasts are already tall, slender and sexy, and all the characteristics of a pregnant spring girl can be seen in Windsor.
"Dear Mr. Prime Minister, have you finished talking to your father?"
"Oh, it turned out to be the beautiful and noble Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I have finished talking with Your Majesty, and now I am ready to deal with the things that Your Majesty has explained, I don't know what Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is looking for me."
"Oh, Mr. Prime Minister, I heard that you are going to Berlin, Germany, you know that I have always wanted to go to Berlin to see, but my father and queen mother have never allowed me to go out, I don't know if Dear Mr. Prime Minister, this princess is lucky enough to take your special plane to Berlin!"
"Oh my God! Your Royal Highness, Honorable Eldest Princess, I don't dare to take you to Berlin secretly, so I can't explain to Your Majesty. ”
"Hmph, Mr. Prime Minister, tell you clearly, if you don't let me go, I will ask the Queen Mother to support your opponent Churchill in the general election, you don't want to be re-elected, if you agree, I will strongly support you to continue to be the prime minister, saying that I am also secretly disguised on your plane, even if my father finds out, you can excuse yourself and say that you don't know! Anyway, you don't have any responsibility, so that's fine. ”
From the language of Windsor, you can see the brutal personality of this eldest princess. Chamberlain had no choice, at this critical time, he was really afraid that this unruly princess would make trouble for himself, Chamberlain did not answer Windsor's words, but turned around and left, and said to himself as he walked:
"I'm going to Berlin tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. on Air Force One at the London airport, and I don't know what Hitler's plans are going to do this time."
Chamberlain walked away like this, while the young and delicate Princess Windsor ran away with a smile on her face.
……
When Chamberlain's plane arrived at the Berlin airport, Chamberlain got off the plane and found that Hitler, the German Führer Hitler, who had come to greet him today, not only had a guard of honor but also a huge number of welcoming crowds behind him.
Hitler did this, of course, he had his purpose, Chamberlain's "peace" policy is very famous throughout Europe, of course, it also has a lot of fans and supporters, these welcoming crowds who came to greet Chamberlain today are not Chamberlain's fans, that is the Germans arranged by Hitler, Hitler gave Chamberlain such a high standard of reception, of course, he fooled Chamberlain, making him think that his "peace" - appeasement policy worked, so that the whole of Germany could be given more time to prepare for war. When Hitler came to welcome Chamberlain, he was actually welcoming Chamberlain's policy of appeasement.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome......"
Flowers were waving, colorful flags were fluttering, and Chamberlain's mood was also very cheerful, his peace policy was indeed accepted by Nazi Germany, and as long as Hitler had the desire for peace talks, it was completely possible to avoid war.
"Welcome, my dear friend, the first honorable Mr. Prime Minister."
Hitler came to Chamberlain with a bouquet of lilies in his hand and handed Chamberlain the lilies in his hand very sincerely. Chamberlain hurriedly took the flowers from Hitler's hand, then stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Hitler tightly.
"Click...... Click...... "Countless flashes left this historic moment, the German Führer and the Prime Minister of the British Empire shook hands, and how the facts developed, may surprise many people, all of this depends on Hitler, and the initiative is completely out of Chamberlain's hands.
