When Winston Churchill received a report from the war queen unit that the German army had seen a "new flying device", he only raised his eyebrows slightly: "They have a new toy again." ”

It looks like Mr. Chancellor is no longer surprised by the new equipment of the Germans.

"The fact that the Germans were able to drop bombs accurately on our airfields at night is a sign that they are using new technology." Regardless of the Minister Arthur? Greenwood shook his head as he spoke, "I think we have to admit that Lin Youde's theory of technological success still has his truth. ”

"yes, although I have felt this way for a long time, I thought that the advantages of technology would not be reflected until ten years later." Winston Churchill grimaced, "When this war is over, we must reflect on this." Now Arthur, let's move on to how to solve the problem at hand. ”

"Okay." Greenwood nodded, because he was a minister and had no fixed duties, and had recently become a cabinet firefighter, and would be sent by Churchill wherever there was a problem.

"I think the Germans are acting strangely." Churchill tapped his fingers on the table, which happened to have a report on the German air raid last night, "I can't figure it out last night when they appeared near ports like Liverpool, but they didn't attack the ships that were unloading on the docks." The Germans must have dropped something, but we were not reported damage. ”

On this subject, "Arthur? Greenwood looked thoughtful, "Actually, I have a hypothesis, but I haven't found any evidence to support it. ”

"I have a guess, Arthur. Maybe we'll want to go together, say Arthur. ”

"I think the Germans probably dropped mines."

Churchill smiled: "Arthur, you are also from the Navy. That's right, I also think they laid mines, Lin Youde must know that we are most worried about the supply line being cut off, sea transportation is our lifeline, if the port is blocked by mines, we can only surrender.

"Now we have not received any reports of damage, because the Germans have not yet formed a minefield. We can't let their minefields form, so I'm going to take measures, first of all, they will definitely continue to use the night to carry out minelaying operations, and we can arrange for Zhanji to carry out night patrols in several ports to stop them from laying mines; Secondly, we need to mobilize all available ships and personnel to ensure the smooth flow of the main shipping lanes in the various ports. ”

Greenwood agreed, "I agree, but we're almost out of materials to maintain the Magic Armor, and the goods we ordered from the United States are still halfway there, and we may not be able to guarantee that we will send enough warriors to every port that has been blockaded by the mines." ”

"No Arthur, even if the materials ordered by the United States arrive, we don't have enough strength to defend every port, we only guarantee a few important ports, and we will give up the others, understand? The same is true for mine-sweeping, we have transferred ships and personnel that can carry out mine-clearing to ports under key protection, and the Germans in other ports have let them lay mines if they want to. Churchill paused, took advantage of the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and then ordered, "So Arthur, you take charge of this." I'll give you the right to mobilize all of your Flying Warrior Warrior troops, and the Royal Navy will fully cooperate with you. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Prime Minister."

Ruth stared out the window at the familiar London street scene - the once familiar London street scene to be exact. Ruth's impression of London will always be a city of gentlemen, and pedestrians on the road will always be well-dressed as if they are strolling leisurely.

But now, the police are chasing the demonstrators in the old, historic streets, and the workers who have been pushed to the ground are dressed in shabby, oil-stained and patched clothes, and their faces are full of anger. Ruth couldn't have imagined that these people were also residents of London.

Ruth saw the police smashing a placard that read, "You started the war, and now you're turning around and trying to run."

At this time, Ruth heard her mother calling herself.

"Ruth, don't look at those, a true lady should turn a blind eye to these vulgar people." Ruth's mother was a typical English aristocratic woman, proud, stern and terrifyingly rigid.

"Yes, Mom." Ruth withdrew her gaze, closed the curtains of the car, and looked ahead. In front of Ruth's car was an American-made Ford, which was not particularly popular in England because it was affordable for even the middle class in the United States.

The roof of the Ford was strapped with a hill of luggage, and every time it shook, Ruth worried that the hill would fall.

"At first glance, they are nouveau riche with a little money," complains Ruth's mother, "and such people should stay in England and use their fortune to buy war bonds, so that they can be worthy of the country that made them rich." ”

Ruth finally couldn't help but say, "Mom, if you really want to be more serious, we should also ......"

"We were canonized because our ancestors fought for the Queen, and we have served the Queen for generations and done our duty! Don't forget that your brother stayed on the mainland as a British officer! We have done our duty. And we are not fleeing from this country, we are just going to the fiefdom of Canada to continue to fulfill our obligations, and in this time of national crisis, we are going to ensure the stability of the colony! ”

"Canada is no longer a colony, they are a member of the British Commonwealth......"

"As long as they have a governor there, they're colonies!"

Ruth couldn't help but keep her mouth shut, she knew she couldn't talk about her mother.

After Ruth shut up, her mother was still chattering: "Charles, too, had to join the attacking forces, say that he wanted to be part of the great victory, to become a follower of modern Wellington, and as a result, to become a prisoner of the Germans!" If the Germans hadn't repeatedly broadcast the list of captured noble officers, I would have thought he was dead. Men are simply like that, they don't understand anything. The most important thing for a family is to be neat and tidy, what victory, stand aside. ”

Ruth was distraught, and felt the urge to slap her mother shut up.

Just then, the car stopped.

Ruth wanted to open the car door and rush out of the car, but her mother grabbed her.

"Wait for the butler to open the door, Ruth! A lady must be elegant in front of people at all times! ”

Ruth rolled her eyes, and then the butler opened the door: "Miss, the port has arrived." ”

Ruth put her hand in the butler's hand, her body had long remembered how to get out of the car gracefully, and a series of movements were completed smoothly.

After getting off the bus, she looked up at the clear winter sky before turning her gaze to the cruise ship she was about to board.

White Star Shipping's 10,000-ton cruise ship looks brand new and beautiful, and the Royal Navy St. George's Cross flag at the stern indicates that it has been requisitioned by the Royal Navy. It is said that she had just finished transporting soldiers from Canada to England, carrying Ruth and other runaway rich men just to avoid wasting fuel on her return trip.

The Royal Navy is responsible for all the high-priced tickets, and the proceeds from the sale will go to the country's war funds.

Ruth followed the group forward, and soon boarded the ship.

Once on deck, Ruth went to the side of the ship and looked down on the crowds on the docks, where Ruth had also made a cruise to the New World, when the farewell people on the docks waved their hats with kind smiles. But now the docks are full of striking workers and police, who have split the docks in two, and the workers who are blocked away from the cruise ship are in high spirits.

They were chanting slogans, and Ruth could hear the earth-shattering sound clearly.

Ruth watched the crowd boredly, waiting for the ship to set sail, and she didn't have to wait long for the whistle to pull off. Ruth saw the sailors on the shore untie the last cable and throw it at the cruise ship, which began to move slowly forward.

The crowd on the shore suddenly erupted into a high-pitched shout, which slammed into the police's defenses.

At this time, Ruth heard a gentleman next to her say, "We set sail ahead of schedule, and these fools have been put on the table, hahaha." ”

Ruth pursed her lips as she saw two men with suitcases crossing the police cordon, holding up pieces of paper in their hands and waving them desperately.

Ruth guessed that they were holding the tickets, and she didn't know where these two people who didn't seem to have any money got the tickets, so it must have taken a lot of effort.

Ruth saw the blond-haired young man throw his suitcase at the dock, and threw herself into the sea, swimming desperately towards the steamer offshore, but the steamer, though slow, was still faster than a man could swim.

Ruth watched as the young man was left off little by little by the cruise ship, and finally disappeared.

Ruth sighed, and she continued to lie on the string of the boat and watch the scenery.

The pier is retreating into the distance little by little, and the blue sky and blue sea gradually occupy the entire field of vision. It's a beautiful view that makes it impossible to believe that war is close at hand.

"Maybe it's a good idea to go to Canada," Ruth muttered quietly, "at least not to watch the worrying news all day and not wake up at night by air raid sirens." ”

His words were heard by the gentleman who had just said that the crowd was placed together, and the gentleman accosted Ruth with a smile on his face: "It seems that this young lady is deeply disgusted by the German air raids. ”

Ruth glanced at the gentleman, and somewhere she felt a sense of disgust, so she responded: "Although the air raid sirens are annoying, they are the result of our initiative to provoke others, so there is nothing to complain about." ”

"Miss, this is wrong for you, it seems that we did take the initiative to attack Germany, but that is because if we don't take the initiative to attack, Germany will attack us, this is called a preventive war......"

Before the gentleman's words fell, the deck under the feet of the two of them shook violently, and at the same time, a "high peak" suddenly rose on the sea outside the ship, and then a large amount of sea water smashed down to the deck.

Ruth fell directly to the ground, so much so that she hit the base of the ship's side lifeboat frame, and passed out. Crimson blood flowed from her head, quickly mixing with the sea.
