After twisting a page with his fingers, a general in a British Army uniform looked at the haggard King of England, and then, with a slightly cramped expression, continued to read the reports in his hand that made him a little unspeakable.

As Commander-in-Chief of the British Army, and now Commander-in-Chief of the ground forces of all the member states of the British Empire, General Alan Brooke's daily job was to report on all sorts of embarrassing failures. He took command of the Army until now, and the British Army has not been able to achieve even one spectacular victory on the battlefield.

The veteran general spoke with difficulty, and in a deep voice reported the various defeats that had occurred in the past week: "In Saudi Arabia, 11 Indian divisions armed have been defeated by German and Italian forces, and they are now retreating towards Iran, and about 40,000 people are surrounded and captured......"

"General Arambrooke, send a telegram to our commander Mountbatten, asking him to find a way to arm more of the Indian natives and make every effort to hold Iran, where to stop the Germans from continuing their eastward advance. King George VI of England looked at his army commander and commanded weakly, as if he knew that all the orders he had given him would not be carried out at all.

"Your Majesty, know that we can no longer arm the local Indian troops, which waste arms and often disobey orders, and thousands of them are routed and taken prisoner by the Germans. General Arambrook explained: "So, a few hours ago, General Mountbatten had called and asked us to send one or two British or Canadian divisions to India to assist him in continuing his fight against the enemy. ”

"Kidding, the Canadian side has limited the number of troops supporting us to a maximum of 10 divisions, and we have already exhausted four in the past time, and then two more ...... What are we going to do to defend Canada and Iceland?" asked George VI, with some annoyance.

General Arambrook pondered for two seconds, and then suddenly spoke to his own majesty and suggested: "Your Majesty, according to incomplete statistics, we have about 500,000 troops who have become prisoners of war by the Germans, who are kept in concentration camps, producing shells and uniforms for a loaf of bread every day against ourselves...... The whole of the British Isles has become occupied by the Germans, and in this case, we will not be able to hold on for long. ”

"It won't last long? A month ago, you generals told me that we won't hold out for long! But we have continued to hold on to this day! My people believe in me! My people support me! As long as we don't admit defeat, we can keep going!" George VI exclaimed excitedly, looking at Alan Brooke. Everyone else could accept the fact of defeat and surrender, but he, the king of England, would never dare to humiliate and beg for peace.

"Your Majesty! If our naval fleet is still alive and there is still hope of a crushing victory if we hold on, and now that the navy has suffered heavy losses, we will continue to hold on, and once the Germans land in Iceland, what will we use to stop them?" Hearing that King George VI was so stubborn, Aranbrooke had no choice but to threaten us: "The Icelandic garrison has only one division, and the Germans may be able to annihilate us with only 2 regiments!"

In fact, Alan Brooke's calculations are more pessimistic and desperate than that. Considering that the Germans were using special forces on a large scale, which was difficult to guard against, Aranbrook felt that if it were possible, the Germans would be able to break down the Icelandic garrison and take out the main British commander on the island by committing about 200 special forces soldiers and launching a sneak attack at night.

It is no wonder that he was so pessimistic, because since Churchill and his former army commander-in-chief died in London, the successor Alain Brooke has witnessed all sorts of defeats: the fierce war in North Africa ended in German victory, the blockade of Iceland stilled his counterattack plan, and finally the Germans occupied large swaths of the Middle East, while the British were stuck in India with no hope of victory.

The situation now is that Mountbatten has less and less British power in his hands, and the law and order and rule in India are beginning to waver. At this time, it seemed that Mountbatten would continue to expand his army and hold the line and stop the German army from advancing much easier than directly retaking the British mainland. Patton did not play a miracle in India, and could only retreat to India with Mountbatten, and the entire Indian peninsula, the hoarded weapons and materials had been consumed.

Alan Brook finally hardened his head and said what was in his heart: "Then, Your Majesty, there is only one choice left. Is it possible to negotiate peace with the Germans? We admit defeat and surrender part of our sovereignty for another ......."

"Shut up, General Aranbrooke, I didn't appoint you commander of the army, I didn't listen to your advice that I surrender! I want you to help me win this war! I understand, I ......," George VI shouted loudly, slapping the table in front of him.

But before he could finish yelling, an officer hurried into the underground command center in Iceland with a telegram: "Your Majesty the King! Your Excellency, Commander, Germans! The Germans have sent a message that they have developed an atomic weapon! The intelligence says that the power of an atomic weapon explosion can destroy a city!"

George VI was about to say something, but was interrupted by someone else, he looked at the other party angrily, and before he could get angry, he was frightened by the words shouted by the other party. He subconsciously collected his emotions, then stared at the officer who delivered the news, frowned and asked, "You...... What did you say? What weapons? Where did you hear about this?"

"Atomic weapons...... That is, what our scientific advisors have reported to you, the superweapon that can change the course of war. The officer looked at the army commander Alain Brooke, whose face was a little ugly and did not say a word, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to George VI: "It has been confirmed that many international dignitaries were taken by the German Führer to a secret experimental base and witnessed the weapons experiments...... However, this news is still being confirmed, and the United States has already obtained relevant information. ”

This is remarkable news, if the Germans were to take the lead in developing that kind of superweapon that would be powerful and intimidating, how could this war continue? If the war between the United States and Germany ended, what would happen to him, the king of England, and be sent back to Germany as a voter? Or would he be a nobody on the streets of the United States from now on?

He didn't even want to think about these things, so he had to look at the army commander Alan Brook beside him again, soothe his voice as much as possible, and ordered: "Fully cooperate with the intelligence department to get this matter to the bottom ...... The Germans have made such a big move, and there must be news in it that deserves our attention! I want to know as soon as possible, and the more comprehensive the better!"

As your Commander of the Army, I would also like to ask you if the Germans do have some powerful weapons at their disposal, and they are strong enough to threaten Iceland and Canada...... Would you like to prepare for an envoy to Germany or Israel?" asked Alainbrooke cautiously.

"Sir, Sir, Your Majesty the King, Radio, Radio, Germany's First Channel...... That man was giving a speech!haha! It seems that Germany has been provoked by the Japanese!" Before George VI could answer Alain Brooke's question, another politician ran in and shouted excitedly at George VI: "Maybe this is a turning point, maybe your majesty!"

George VI felt that everyone was offending his majesty today, and who would dare to interrupt him again and again?

But he didn't have a seizure, controlled his emotions, walked over to the radio, and turned on the switch on it. So in the interference of the electric current, a familiar and unfamiliar voice echoed so abruptly: "I, the head of the Third Reich, hereby solemnly declare the verdict: The Axis powers have sentenced 1,700 people, including Hideki Tojo and Seishiro Itagaki to death for violating international law, using chemical weapons without authorization, and violating humanitarianism...... Now, soldiers of the Third Reich of the Greater Germany, go and carry out my sentence!"

"......" shook his body slightly, and George VI felt that he might collapse and fainted. But he, after he took over the British Empire, the country fell apart, and the whole country was occupied, and now that powerful adversary had extended its tentacles to the Far East, this nascent rival was more like a real empire on which the sun never set.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" Aranbrook looked at George VI, who had lost his temper slightly, and called softly twice, which brought the distracted king back to reality from his pain: "There is nothing else, then I will go and confirm the problem related to the secret weapon of the Germans." ”

"Don't bother so much...... We'll just wait here quietly. If an atomic bomb is exploded in Japan, it will not be too late for us to take countermeasures!" George VI waved his hand and said to Alain Brooke: "Wait, what we have to do is to wait for the result of this news!"
