Chapter 450 Returning to China as Prime Minister

People seem to have forgotten how much they hated Churchill's remarks in previous years, the kind of chatter about war threats, which makes people want to tie Churchill to a shelf as a god and burn him to death.

But now, they suddenly discovered that Churchill had foresight! Everything Churchill predicted is true, and at the same time, Churchill is still a firm representative!

Although the United Kingdom is also a free country, unlike the United States, the British general election is not the election of the prime minister, but the election of members of the lower house of parliament.

The general election adopts a simple majority election system. Voters vote for members of the House of Commons from 650 constituency seats, winning more than half of the country's constituency seats, that is, the party with more than 326 seats will be in power, and the party leader will become the British Prime Minister.

That is to say, as long as there are enough members in the party, you can become the prime minister. At the same time, if the number of members in the party is not enough, you can also join forces with other parties to form a coalition government.

In the UK, the Prime Minister is not elected.

In this eventful autumn, the United Kingdom is even less able to carry out various election activities. After Chamberlain knew that he had been abandoned by Parliament, Chamberlain elected Churchill, who was widely expected, to serve as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

In this way, Chamberlain is also beneficial. When Churchill becomes prime minister, he can forgive all the mistakes Chamberlain made, and even Chamberlain can continue his political career, as is the case in history.

After Churchill came to power, helped Chamberlain fend off those impeachments and even gave Chamberlain some office.

Chamberlain remains the leader of the Conservative Party after resigning as prime minister. Although Labour and the Liberals encouraged Churchill to sack Chamberlain from the government, because Chamberlain still had the support of a majority of Conservative MPs, Churchill asked him to remain in the war cabinet.

Churchill initially wanted to appoint Chamberlain as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but was strongly opposed by Labour and the Liberal Party, and finally appointed him Speaker of the Privy Council and chaired the important Committee of Speakers of the Privy Council.

As a British statesman, Chamberlain continued to carry out his work faithfully and provided many useful advice to the government.

Churchill's approach has also paid off. By 1940, due to the inability to conquer Britain, Germany proposed the terms of peace with the United Kingdom, which almost caused the split of the government. Chamberlain initially supported the acceptance of the terms, but Churchill successfully persuaded Chamberlain to stand with him and oppose the peace.

Chamberlain still has the support of most Conservative MPs, while Churchill is only supported by Labour and Liberal MPs. Chamberlain is worried that this phenomenon will weaken the government, so he encourages Conservative MPs to support Churchill on various occasions.

Looking at these cases, we can see that the British government is still very harmonious. In short, there will never be a strange story of a certain country in the East, where a scandal broke out in front of the president and was finally thrown into prison.

And now, Chamberlain knew that he was no longer fit to be prime minister, so he had to find a suitable person to lead Britain, and this person, of course, was Churchill!

When Churchill received the news, he was stunned at first, but then he recovered immediately. He is already the Prime Minister, so he will serve the interests of the United Kingdom!

He was in Paris and wanted to coordinate the British Expeditionary Force and France's war against Germany, but it didn't matter now, he had to return to England.

What Britain lacks now is hope, and Churchill, through his speeches, hopes to give hope to the country and the people!

Great Britain, never failed, and this time too!

"Prepare a special plane immediately, I want to return to England." Churchill said.

Switching to the wartime system, recruiting reserve troops into active duty, and continuing to seek help from the United States, all these need to be arranged immediately. The United Kingdom has lost too much time, and now it is necessary to race against time!

Churchill took a last look at Cammelin and said to him: "General Cammelin, I suggest you keep some reserves. The Germans across from us are very cunning."

The coach here is Cammelin, and even Churchill, using his new prime minister status, cannot give Cammelin orders. After all, this is French territory.

He can only suggest.

After he finished saying these words, he hurried away from the conference hall. For him, there was a more important task, and the United Kingdom needed him!

At the same time, he also felt a sense of pride in his heart. Even if the sun was dying, the British heritage was still rich. Germany could not win, and the United Kingdom would definitely persevere to the end!

"Thompson, go to see His Majesty the King immediately after you go back." Churchill said to his personal bodyguard on the special plane.

In Britain, in the bourgeois revolution that year, it did not directly send the king to the guillotine as in France, but maintained the existence of the royal family.

The royal family leads the people spiritually, while the prime minister handles the country's government affairs in detail, and every prime minister needs to report to His Majesty the King first after completing his election campaign.

The current king of England is George VI, who only came to power the year before last.

"Yes." Thompson replied to him. Since then, Churchill will have to deal with a lot of things. As a personal bodyguard, he must protect Churchill's safety and plan his itinerary.

While flying across the English Channel, Churchill fell asleep. Churchill didn't wake up until there was a slight shake from the fuselage.

"Prime Minister, we are in London," Thompson said.

has arrived? Churchill got up from his seat, and when he opened the curtains and looked outside the cabin, he was stunned.

I don't know when, there was a crowd standing outside! At this time, it was raining lightly in London, and the people outside the cabin, without umbrellas, were looking at the special plane with a focused gaze.

"Sorry, I don't know why, there were already so many people at the airport when our plane landed," Thompson said.

Churchill recalled that a few years ago, when Chamberlain returned to London after the Munich Agreement was signed, it was the same grand occasion at the airport, but the mood of the people was different.

At that time, it was easy, but now, it is oppressive.

"Okay, let's go out," said Churchill, who had to temporarily change his plans to give a speech after getting off the plane to boost British morale!

If you want to be a qualified politician, you must become a qualified orator. A mustache can agitate the whole Germany from the haze of World War I. This is the charm of language.

And Churchill can definitely complete this task, you know, Churchill himself is a literati.

The drizzle in London was pattering, and in the drizzle, a pair of eyes looked at the plane restlessly, the top hat pressed his face, and his hands trembled slightly.
