Chapter 833: The Lonely Three Islands of England

The funny Italy became the object of ridicule by the armies of various countries, but Roosevelt kept thinking about the future direction of the United States during this period.

The European war is only one step away from the world war, Japan is aggressive in the Far East, and the Soviet Union is strengthening its national defenses and preparing for war.

Germany is winning more and more victories, with a high momentum, which makes the enemy frightened.

Fortunately, there is still a tease that Italy is holding back, otherwise, the current Germany has crossed the strait and launched a challenge to the former world hegemon, right?

No one doubts whether Germany will use troops against Britain. The war has been fought so far, and it can no longer be stopped if it wants to.

The huge interests contained in it are driving the interest groups based on the country to move forward, just like Germany now.

The British were trapped on the British Isles, and Goering, who wanted to grab credit, let go of 330,000 enemy troops.

Although there are doubts about what happened at Dunkirk to stop the Germans, the most reliable theory is that Air Marshal Goering wanted to take credit.

In fact, Germany was indeed strong during this period, but not strong enough to defeat France in just one month.

What really made the French choose to surrender in just one month was their negative attitude that they didn't want to fight at all.

The whole people in the UK were instigated by Churchill, and the French negatively thought, "Whatever to fight, it would be nice to go home and drink, grow roses, and pick up girls." '

Churchill wanted Roosevelt's help, and he also wanted to help the British.

A united Europe is not in the interests of the United States, either personally or nationally.

History tells us that any huge empire is by no means benevolent.

On the 17th, the government headed by Pétain, who sought peace and took the FXS route, demanded an armistice, and Charles de Gaulle, who advocated resistance, was excluded from the government.

Therefore, de Gaulle returned to London overnight to meet with Churchill to discuss the matter of continuing the resistance.

At this time, the Petain government had declared a truce, and Charles de Gaulle in London, with the support of Churchill, publicly issued a call for resistance on the BBC the next day.

This behavior of blatantly opposing the government made the Petain government, which has not yet been formally formed, very angry.

It was immediately announced that de Gaulle would be demoted and suspended, but with the support of the British and Churchill cabinets, the Petain government was already dispensable to him.

In the next few days, de Gaulle publicly announced on the BBC many times that the government authorities headed by Pétain were betraying the interests of France.

What they have done is a betrayal of France. With the support of the British, de Gaulle will form a new free French regime and fight FXS to the end.

In fact, even with Churchill's support, few people in the allies recognized his legitimacy.

Because de Gaulle did not get the legal election of the people, which is very important in the eyes of civil rights countries, and it is also a sign of government legitimacy.

Fortunately, de Gaulle still has a lot of power in his hands, and his presence can also inspire resistance within France.

For Churchill, it didn't matter whether it was legal or not, what he cared about was how many forces could join in the fight against FXS.

On June 22, the French authorities officially announced their surrender.

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, and the war-weary French even held a reception at their farm and invited the passing German troops to have a carnival.

This kind of weird thing makes people laugh and cry, but it has aroused the patriotism of the people in more places.

Everyone loathes war when France is capable of it.

However, after the French authorities announced their surrender, many people spontaneously organized small-scale resistance actions.

In the eyes of the French, it is very romantic to save the country when it falls and is in danger...

The Frenchman's brain circuit is different, and it may be difficult for normal people to understand, but it is a good thing to have resistance, at least it can divert the attention of some Germans on the other side of the strait.

The official surrender of the French authorities was like a blow to the British,

The 'mighty' French Army was defeated, and Britain was left completely alone.

Bustling scenes abound across the British Isles, with piles of sandbags and fortifications being built to protect landmarks.

Museum art collections were also sent to bomb shelters, and King George VI, his queen and children were evacuated from Buckingham Palace.

King George VI, who lived in Windsor Castle, felt uncomfortable all over. He looked at the head of the inner guard and said, "Can't we go to the farm?"

"Your Majesty, this is the best choice. I hope you can understand the reason why I did this." The head of the inner guard looked at him seriously.

"Okay!" Although I agreed with the other party's arrangement, when I thought of the castle that originally belonged to me, I actually borrowed it as a "relative"...

Germany and Britain confront each other across the strait. Although the war has not yet happened, enemy planes have often appeared in the sky during this period.

"We have already had two air bases under attack. When will we start to counterattack?" In the M16 underground air-raid shelter, the air force commander clenched his fists and looked at Churchill.

"Now is not the time to take the initiative. What we have to do is to keep the Germans on the other side of the strait, frustrate their spirit, and let other countries see hope..."

"Has the Soviet Union responded?" Churchill turned to look at his new foreign minister.

After receiving the support of George VI, the viscount, who had been looking for trouble, was finally kicked out of the cabinet by him, so that Churchill's actions were no longer restrained.

A big war is inevitable, and people all over the UK are ready to go to war. They come out of their homes and contribute their own strength.

"How about the production of gas masks?" In order to ensure that the British people can survive the most difficult initial period of the war, Churchill made a lot of preparations.

It is about to develop into a world-class war. On such a battlefield, there is no human rights and morality to speak of. Those are words for the victors to flaunt their merits.

Gas attacks are essential, and Churchill asked the authorities to manufacture millions of gas masks, making sure that every citizen has one.

"Mom, will we be attacked?" The little girl held the gas mask she had just received, with a pure innocence on her face.

"Honey, we'll be fine, England will be fine." The woman in a dress with a disheveled hair comforted her, but she was full of confusion about the future.

They are like sinners waiting to be judged, but their hearts are full of courage to dare to resist. No one can conquer Britain, never...

woo woo...

At this moment, the terrible air defense alarm sounded, and the people on the street who were distributing face masks hurriedly shouted, directing people to flee to the shelter.

The roar of the propellers was getting closer and closer, followed by the terrible sound of machine gunfire, and the previously lively street immediately became a war zone.
