Chapter 449 Peace Ambassador Chamberlain Resigns

As early as the 4th century BC, Sun Bin, a famous military strategist during the Warring States Period in China, put forward the idea of ​​"fighting one and defending two". As a back team, wait for the order to move.

The European Macedonian King Alexander proposed the idea of ​​using moderately equipped infantry as a reserve, and established and put into reserve in the battle of Gaugamela to defeat the Persian army.

Napoleon's failure was also because there was no reserve team in the end.

At a critical time, investing in one more reserve team can play a decisive role.

But now, Cammelin can't wait to press all the reserves, which makes the British generals feel uneasy, especially now that the person who speaks is the highest representative of the British side, the Lord of the Admiralty Churchill.

Holding the cigar in his mouth in his hand, Churchill's brows were furrowed, and he asked Gammelin, who was opposite him, his question.

The war has just begun, and all the troops will be pressed up?

"Now is the best time to get into the reserves. We have already judged the direction of the Germans' main attack." Gammelin said: "We must use a beautiful victory to tell the Germans that no matter how advanced they are. Tanks, can't pose a real threat to us."

Now is the best time to defeat the Germans completely! This is Gan Morin's judgment, and at this time, he has no doubts about his own judgment.

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued: "Although all the reserves have been overwhelmed, we will immediately carry out national defense mobilization, and follow-up troops will be formed continuously, at most a week, we will have more Reserves of ten reorganized divisions."

Now that the war has begun, a new war mobilization must be carried out, and retired soldiers must be conscripted into the army, and it is easy to make up another army.

Thinking of the cruel meat grinder in World War I makes the hearts of many people tremble, but now, they have no choice. Twenty years, just after a new generation of young people have grown up, they need to be consumed on the battlefield.

Blame it on the Germans!

Churchill still had questions, but before he raised it, an adjutant hurried in and said to Churchill, "Mr. Churchill, please return to London immediately."

Returning to London immediately? Churchill could not help but ask the adjutant: "What happened in London?"

"Chamberlain is about to resign. He nominated you to take over as Prime Minister." The adjutant's words surprised Churchill, followed by Yixi.

Arthur Neville-Chamberlain, he was the representative of the British appeasement policy in the 1930s.

Born in 1869, he is now seventy years old.

Those who have experienced World War I do not want to experience a war anymore. The call for peace is echoing over Europe. In this case, Chamberlain, the prime minister, made a series of concessions to Germany and Italy, thinking that In exchange for peace in Europe.

The policy he implemented was later known as the "appeasement policy".

Germany advanced into the Sudetenland, dispatched troops to occupy Austria, and then moved to the Czech border. Chamberlain made a speech in the House of Commons condemning German aggression, but no concrete action was taken.

When Germany occupied all of Czechoslovakia, the British began to take measures to strengthen their defenses, and Chamberlain announced that Poland would be given military guarantees.

However, when Poland was invaded by Germany, although Britain declared war on Germany, there was no war action.

All of Chamberlain's actions are for the peace of Europe. He doesn't want Britain to enter a state of war. Britain is already afraid of the death of another generation of young people.

In fact, these actions of Chamberlain were welcomed by the British. After the signing of the Munich Agreement, the old Chamberlain took a plane and returned to the UK. At the airport, Chamberlain received an unprecedented welcome.

He brought peace to England!

However, as times changed, Chamberlain was finally abandoned by the British.

When Germany bombed the British naval base, there was an uproar in Britain, and they felt extremely indignant about it.

In the face of the German attack, Chamberlain made some decisions, such as bombing Libyan oil fields, etc., but these did not play a real role, and Germany's all-out war was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"You've been sitting here too long and you've done nothing good, let's go, let's tell you in God's name, get out!" In Congress, one MP quoted Cromwell's dissolution of parliament in his speech The declaration, he waved his fist, incomparably angry.

He seems to have forgotten that when the Munich agreement was signed, he also waved this arm in support.

"There must be a vote of no-confidence in the government, right now, right now!" another MP exclaimed: "Look at our government, what good things have been done over the years!"

Germany's attack on the French mainland has made these British politicians realize that the policy that Chamberlain has been implementing is wrong, appeasement, and make Germany stronger little by little. Now, Germany has begun to truly threaten Britain and France!

In fact, from the perspective of later generations, all the appeasement that Chamberlain made in the 1930s was in line with the situation at that time, and no matter who sat in that position, he had to do it.

Churchill was tough, but at that time, who supported Churchill? When Churchill unleashed the German threat, Churchill was met with censure.

"Fatty Qiu, get out of here and leave the parliament!" Some congressmen once scolded Churchill directly in this way, saying things that people didn't like to hear and being someone they didn't like, that's how they ended up.

Churchill's war rhetoric was not supported by anyone, instead Churchill was kicked out of the government.

When the war broke out, the British suddenly realized that Churchill was right, and quickly invited the tough Churchill back to serve as their prime minister.

And now, that's what's going on.

The vote of no-confidence motion against the Chamberlain government was held almost ten minutes later. Dozens of members who originally supported the government voted against it. Chamberlain, who was standing on the side, knew very well that he should also step down.

Although Chamberlain intends to remain in office until the end of the new round of crisis, at this juncture, he wants to turn the tide and draw a happy end to his political career, but he still had to submit his resignation to the king and officially recommend Churchill to succeed him British Prime Minister.

At a time like this, Churchill, who had been prophesying German ambitions a few years ago, was finally getting what he expected.
