On June 19, 1942, on the evening of the eighth day after Lin Youde cut the Suez Canal, Downing Street.

Winston Churchill and Charlotte after a day of fighting? Roosevelt sat across the two-hundred-year-old wooden table.

"We didn't expect our plan to go awry in an unexpected way." Winston Churchill shook his head, "The rout came too suddenly, and the situation that had just become clear became cloudy again. ”

"Mr. Churchill, how old are you?"

"What do you ask for?"

"I'm wondering if there's something wrong with your memory, and you've been repeating it many times these days." Charlotte said expressionlessly, "Your current condition makes me wonder if your courage has disappeared with Lin Youde's victory. ”

"I don't know, Miss Charlotte." Churchill shook his head slightly, "As you said, I'm getting old, and when I went to the Boer War, I was already in my twenties, and to be honest, I'm starting to feel like I can't do too much of you young people." I've never felt like an old man for all these years, but this time, I'm starting to feel like I'm a little overwhelmed. ”

Charlotte stared at Churchill's face for several seconds, and then she said in a stern tone: "You know, you have always been a stubborn old man in my mind, stubborn, paranoid, and cunning appropriate for your age. Your speech just now completely shattered my impression of you. This will not work, Winston, please play the image of a stubborn old man to the end. Lin Youde is indeed a formidable opponent, but we have not lost this war yet. Haven't lost yet. We still control the best land in the Nile Valley, and our soldiers are pouring into North Africa, and soon we will be able to take Lunis, and then the Confederate fleet in Taranto will be out of cover, and we will be able to take control of the Mediterranean Sea through a decisive battle at sea. ”

Charlotte paused, seeing that Churchill had no intention of taking a stubble, and continued: "At that time, even if Lin Youde's army captures Egypt, it will be meaningless, there is no sea line of communication, and the bad road conditions in North Africa will kill him." Even if he were to send supplies from elsewhere, we would be stuck in the Gulf of Aden and the Gate of Tears, and his supplies would not be able to come in. ”

Winston Churchill pursed his lips and pondered for a while before nodding in agreement: "Yes, you're right, we haven't lost yet, it's too early to lose our courage." ”

"That's right, we all have reasons why we can't lose this war no matter what, so let's win the war beautifully."

Churchill took a deep breath and finally changed from the old man who lamented the ruthlessness of the years to the iron-fisted prime minister.

At this moment, Arthur Greenwood, the Minister of Justice, pushed the door in and put the two telegrams in his hand in front of Churchill and Charlotte respectively.

"Port Said has been lost this afternoon."

"What?" Churchill leaned forward sharply and stared at Arthur with an expression of disbelief, "Lost?" How can it be? Lin Youde shouldn't have the strength to attack immediately! ”

"They used Shenji to raid the Port Said defenses, and then used airborne troops to clear out our soldiers who were scattered in the city after being defeated and ready to continue to resist."

"Where did he come from?" Churchill slapped the table vigorously, "I only received news at nine o'clock this morning, saying that Lin Youde's two divine concubines came to Cairo and were fighting with Cairo's divine concubines, and our army's divine concubines who took off from Suez City in an hour also reported to meet the enemy, and Lin Youde's three divine concubines all met our divine concubines, where is he...... Could it be that the god who had been with him all this time was gone? Then why didn't the MI assassinate him? ”

"No," Arthur Greenwood shook his head, "the MI reported that the girl they called Oh-chan was still with Lin Youde, but there was intelligence that his second daughter Onexia, yesterday afternoon? Lin's seaplane landed on a lake near Ismailia. ”

"Did he send his underage daughter to battle!" Churchill's face was full of shock, "Isn't this Lin Youde particularly doting on his daughter?" ”

Churchill shook his head slightly, his expression became cold, and he sneered: "Hmph, I thought he was a real hero, but in the end he was just like me, a cold and utilitarian person." In order to win, I actually sent my own daughter to the battlefield, even I may not be able to do such a ruthless thing. ”

"No," Charlotte looked at Churchill, "you do it, and if you don't, it's just because you don't think the benefits are not big enough, that's all." ”

When Churchill heard Charlotte's words, he didn't show any annoyance at all, he thought for a few seconds, and then nodded: "Well, that's right, you're right. In this world, only interests are eternal, and I can agree with this statement from the bottom of my heart, and I guess I can really do such a thing. Well, let's not talk about these personal feelings. Now that we have lost Port Said, Lin Youde has an excellent port for unloading, and he can directly threaten Alexandria after transferring his fighters and bombers from Cyprus to a base near Port Said. His sea lines of communication were straightened, and he no longer had to rely on the terrible road from Damascus to Jerusalem. ”

"Yes, he has achieved a small advantage, now he just needs to open the land passage between the main force of the army and Port Said, do we have troops that can stop him?"

"He's no longer committed to his daughter, we can still try. But I think tomorrow his fire-breathing baby daughter will be on the front lines. Miss Charlotte, you are a goddess, is it now feasible to send a goddess on a long flight to Egypt at once? ”

"No, it's too far, if you don't want to fight the French goddess over the Mediterranean, you have to go south, detour over the Sahara Desert, no one can fly so far."

"That's right." Churchill pursed his lips, "Then, it seems that the only way to break through the Strait of Tonis with the fleet in advance is to use the fleet." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, even if Lin Youde completely defeats the British forces in Egypt and captures all of Egypt, we can still win the victory in the Mediterranean, as long as we take Lunnis. There is no need to let the fleet take such a big risk. ”

Charlotte paused and stressed to Churchill again: "We will win this war, Mr. Prime Minister, don't be impatient, you won't wait too long, I personally estimate that in three years at most, the war will be over." I can bet you. ”

Churchill stared at Charlotte's face, and after a moment he said, "No, this bet cannot be made, for I also think that the war will be fought for three years at most, and then it will end with our complete victory." ”

"I'm glad we reached a consensus, Mr. Prime Minister, should we have a glass to commemorate this consensus?"

Charlotte built yì road in this way.
